打開筆記，天氣雨天夾雜著雪，打開書籍，詩境逆旅，鳳凰與小晚的問道悟禪途，第一章，誤入異界，初逢鳳凰，林小晚本是一個癡迷古詩詞的現代女孩，在一次參觀古老道觀時，她無意間觸碰了一尊古樸的香爐，剎那間，光芒閃耀，小晚眼前一黑，便失去了意識，當她再次睜眼，發現自己身處一片云霧繚繞的山林，四周古木參天，繁花似錦，卻又透著一股陌生與神秘，小晚驚慌失措地在山林中摸索前行，就在她感到絕望之時，一只周身散發著五彩光芒的鳳凰自天際翱翔而來，鳳凰身姿優雅，眼眸靈動，落地后竟化作一位傾國傾城的女子，鳳凰告訴小晚，這里是靈幻界，是一個詩詞與仙法交織的奇異世界，小晚雖滿心疑惑與恐懼，但在鳳凰的安撫下，漸漸鎮定下來，決定跟隨鳳凰探尋回去的方法，第二章，初涉教派，佛道之遇，小晚和鳳凰在旅途中聽聞靈幻界有兩大教派，佛教的慈恩寺與道教的三清觀，皆底蘊深厚，藏有無數修行秘籍與奇聞，兩人決定前往探尋，或許能找到幫助小晚回歸現實世界的線索，她們先來到了慈恩寺，踏入寺門，莊嚴祥和的氣息撲面而來，寺內僧侶們或誦經，或掃地，一舉一動皆透著寧靜與平和，小晚和鳳凰見到了寺中的主持，一位面容慈祥、白發蒼蒼的高僧，高僧聽聞她們的來意后，微微頷首，說道，世間萬物皆有定數，姑娘誤入此地，或許也是一種機緣，我佛慈悲，講究因果輪回，施主不妨在此靜修幾日，參透內心，或許便能找到答案。
小晚在寺中住下，每日隨僧侶們一同誦經禮佛，在一次誦讀《心經》時，小晚心中豁然開朗，色不異空，空不異色，色即是空，空即是色，她領悟到萬事萬物皆為虛幻表象，內心的執念才是束縛自己的枷鎖，也許，放下對回歸的急切渴望，順其自然，方能找到出路，離開慈恩寺后，小晚和鳳凰又來到了三清觀，三清觀氣勢恢宏，樓閣錯落有致，香煙裊裊，觀主是一位仙風道骨的老者，他捋著胡須，對小晚和鳳凰說道，道生一，一生二，二生三，三生萬物，世間變化，不離陰陽平衡，姑娘身處此界，應順應自然，調和身心，方能與這方天地相融，小晚在觀中學習道家的吐納之法，感悟著自然與自身的聯系，她明白，道家追求的是一種與自然和諧共生的境界，不刻意強求，順勢而為。
第三章，教派紛爭，力挽狂瀾，然而，平靜并未持續太久，不知何時，慈恩寺與三清觀之間竟產生了紛爭，原來，靈幻界中有一處靈脈，關系著兩派修行資源的獲取，兩派弟子各執一詞，互不相讓，矛盾逐漸激化，甚至到了劍拔弩張的地步，小晚和鳳凰不忍看到兩派因此爭斗，生靈涂炭，小晚想起古詩詞中，海納百川，有容乃大，壁立千仞，無欲則剛，她深知，唯有包容與放下私欲，才能化解這場危機，鳳凰也化出原形，在兩派弟子面前展現出強大而祥和的力量，威懾住眾人，小晚站出來，對著兩派弟子說道，佛教講究慈悲為懷，道教崇尚和諧自然，如今為了一處靈脈，便要大動干戈，豈不是違背了各自教派的教義，靈脈雖珍貴，但比起兩派的情誼與靈幻界的和平，孰輕孰重，兩派弟子聽后，皆面露羞愧之色，慈恩寺高僧與三清觀觀主也意識到自己的沖動，在小晚和鳳凰的調和下，兩派決定共同開發靈脈，資源共享，靈幻界又恢復了往日的平靜。
第四章，領悟真諦，涅槃重生，經過這場風波，小晚對佛道的教義有了更深的理解，內心也愈發澄澈，
