“Bodhi Buckle”
In the corner of the antique shop, Chen Mo found a strange Bodhi jade bracelet – eighteen mutton-fat jade beads, each embedded with a golden Bodhi, the jade and wood grain entangled, like the veins of fate.

“This is called the ‘Reincarnation String’.” The shopkeeper stroked the bracelet gently, “Jade locks the past, Bodhi saves this life. But…”

Before he finished speaking, Chen Mo had bought it.

That night, there was a thunderstorm, and he dreamed that he became a jade craftsman in the Republic of China, carving an unfinished Bodhi jade string in the flames of war. When he woke up, the bracelet was missing a bead, and there was a jade plaque with blood on the pillow: “Atonement”.

Following the clues in the dream, Chen Mo found the old site of the Jade Shop that had been abandoned long ago. In the mud washed by the rainstorm, a jade bead wrapped in golden Bodhi lay quietly, and the inner wall was engraved with a very small word “Nian”.

When he put the beads back on the bracelet, all the Bodhi seeds suddenly turned, revealing the secret hidden under the golden thread – each one was engraved with a different name, which was exactly the eighteen apprentices who were locked in the secret room by his previous life during the fire.

In the morning light, the bracelet automatically broke and scattered. The jade beads rolled into the morning dew and disappeared, leaving only the eighteen Bodhi seeds in the palm of his hand, warming up, like the mantra of rebirth that finally transcended.
