Introduction to Mo Ling
Lin Mo, a young man in an abandoned house, is 23 years old, jobless and lonely, making a living by selling old things and painting portraits. He has been able to see supernatural phenomena that ordinary people cannot see since he was a child, but he chose to turn a blind eye. It wasn't until the night of the typhoon that the ancestral bald brush awakened as the tool spirit and the ink spirit. Only then did he realize that he was a descendant of the magic brush Ma Liang.
In order to protect the neighbors of Qingwu Lane, Lin Mo used his soul as ink and his mind as guide to draw living creatures, light and memory to fight against evil spirits. He successively encountered the holders of Death Pen Ember, Tribulation Pen Tribulation, and Magic Pen Illusion, and found that the four ancient pens were transformed by the ancient ink god, and they could be reunited to recast the divine body. The cruelest truth is: his dead grandmother was actually controlled by the Death Pen and became a container for collecting desperate souls.
In the end, Lin Mo defeated the robbery pen with his original intention, purified the magic pen, and used all his painting soul to paint the picture of Qingwu Alley - a painting that allows the souls of the deceased to stay forever and the forgotten ones to be finally seen. He integrated himself into the painting and became the guardian of the alley, waiting for the arrival of the next pen holder.
A pen paints belief; a painting guards the world.
