Plot:
Legend has it that Ji Gong, who was a dragon-descending arhat in his previous life, was born in the home of a good man named Li Xiuyuan, Li Maochun, and later joined Lingyin Temple, calling himself "Jiepilepsy". In Lingyin Temple, "helping epilepsy" is not limited to Buddhist rules and regulations, but is abnormal and solid, and is called "holy monk" and "living Buddha" by the people.
Dapeng, who has a deep relationship with Dragon and Luohan, fled the celestial world and led his disciples Fox Fairy and Evil Wolf Heifeng to retaliate against Jigong. Jigong used his wisdom to fight the ugly forces represented by Dapeng and saved the people's suffering. His legendary story was sung by later generations.
