Huzhou merchant Fan, along with his wife and children, urged a boat to sail towards Gusu City. Unexpectedly, they were robbed and killed on the way. The red gold lotus cup was snatched away, and Fan's son Fan Ju 'an and the boatman's daughter Xingmei were pushed into the water. Ju 'an drifted ashore on a dilapidated boat and found his father-in-law's home. Hou Minghu's family took him in. The lotus cup fell into the hands of the cruel governor Yu Weiming. When he learned that Ju 'an was still alive, he wanted to kill him. As a result, the Hou couple were killed, and their daughter Mengqing was saved by the old man with the orange lamp. Ten years later, Mengqing received the true essence of the orange lamp and mastered the powerful martial art of "flying over water", determined to avenge the Fan and Hou families. After his escape, Ju 'an changed his name to Lu Tianrong. Through hard study, he passed the imperial examination and was appointed as the magistrate of Wujiang. He hoped that Meng Qing would submit to the imperial court, which made Meng completely lose hope in him. Meng and Xueyuan, along with others, personally avenged their family's wrongs and left for a distant place. Lu, having lost all hope, entered the Hanshan Temple and became a monk.[Collapse]
