About This Novel
In western Hunan, west of Dongting Lake, at the intersection of five rivers, it is a barbaric land among hundreds of thousands of mountains. Since ancient times, it has been beyond the reach of kings and rarely visited by outsiders. In the early 1980s, the legends of voodoo, Miao poison, and corpse exorcists were not far away, and the stories of bandits, Miao girls, and snake catchers were still popular; and the heroes of the new era were about to appear. This time, they would wade through the river of market economy in chaos and killing. In the autumn of 1983, a nationwide crackdown was underway, and a public trial involving tens of thousands of people was being held on the playground of Jiuzhen Middle School. Under the gaze of ten thousand pairs of eyes, a gunshot rang out, and the gangster leader An You fell on the spot. The young man Yao Yijie in the crowd was shocked. He seemed to feel that An You's dead soul rose into the sky and would find him and entangle him in the years to come, dragging him step by step into the abyss of the underworld that would never be restored.
