All because of a so-called ancient celestial text that reflects every facet of life, the feuds of the jianghu, and the endless cycle of cause and effect. An ordinary man is drawn into a struggle for justice, tangled in the consequences of past lives across generations.
The central story follows the woodworker and Bai Shuhui through their past and present lives and their tumultuous experiences, bringing to light the tangled fates of the five guardian immortals: fox, yellow weasel, white snake, willow, and gray rat. They endure all the vicissitudes of human life.
This naturally brings in the arts of Qimen Dunjia, feng shui compasses, grave robbing, the union of yin and yang, and divination by the heavenly stems and earthly branches... Through many twists and turns, and the trials of history, these arts spread throughout the human world. The forces of justice use them for good, while wicked forces gather to commit evil. Good and evil become opposing sides, locked in a struggle that has continued from ancient times to the present...
