I Have a Ghost-Killing Sword

Shen Yan, a Taoist college graduate, inherited a broken Taoist temple left by his grandfather. He originally just wanted to make a living, until that night, the statue of Emperor Zhenwu shed tears, black gas came out of the ancient well in the backyard, and a woman hanging from the beam was walking towards him step by step. Lao Chen took out an ancient sword from the base of the statue and stuffed it into his hand. The moment the sword was unsheathed, the woman disappeared into ashes. Four ancient characters appear on the sword - only kill sneaky people. From then on, Shen Yan opened his eyes and could see ghosts wherever he went. The resentful spirits who repeatedly jump off buildings in abandoned hospitals, the evil spirits who are sealed into cement pillars in unfinished buildings, the neighbors who follow people home in old communities... He thought it was just a ghost-killing job. Until he discovered that two of the ten palaces of Yama in the underworld were missing. Until he saw the memory of that sword - the name that was erased on the list of gods. Before he died, Lao Chen said: Your grandfather did not die of illness. He discovered something he shouldn't have discovered. That sword only kills ghosts. But what if the biggest ghost was once a human? This novel and its characters are purely fictitious.
