Ancestral Hall Mystery: the Curse of the Lampkeeper

The protagonist Lin Shen returns to his hometown due to the mysterious death of his father, and enters the century-old ancestral hall holding a copper key engraved with a lotus pattern. On a rainy night, blood oozes from the seventh page of the family tree. The ever-burning lamp rotates counterclockwise, and three overlapping versions of myself appear in the mirror. During the night wake, the sound of a bride from the Republic of China crying for her wedding was revealed. The yellowed wedding certificate spontaneously ignited and revealed a warning in red: "At three o'clock in the morning, the soul returns to the wick." He discovered that the birthmark on the neck of the lampkeeper Lao Zhou and the mark on his wrist formed the Big Dipper Formation. The seven severed fingers in the copper box corresponded to the gaps in the genealogy. The uncle spontaneously ignited mysteriously, and the lamp oil wedding dress was fished out of the well. The truth gradually emerged - the Lin family needs direct blood to keep the wick alive every sixty years, and he is the seventh generation sacrifice. Seven charred corpses are buried under the ancestral hall, and the ever-burning lanterns imprison the souls of the ancestors. When Lin Shen put on her wedding clothes and stepped into the gate of the afterlife, she saw the scene where the bride was buried alive a hundred years ago. At this time, Lao Zhou revealed that he was the reincarnation of the first-generation lampkeeper, and Lin Shen's name appeared on the seventh page of the genealogy. The ancestral hall in the rainstorm became the junction of yin and yang, and the countdown to the blood sacrifice of seven generations of reincarnation quietly began...
