Tomb for Suppressing Yin Spirits

The waters of the Changling River surge onward. Lin Yan inherits his grandfather's dilapidated corpse-retrieval boat.

Seven years ago, his grandfather went out on the river wearing a straw rain cape and never returned. No remains were found. All he left behind were a rusted Bagua mirror, half of a broken piece of green jade, and his last words: "Our family doesn't retrieve corpses. We guard the gate."

Seven years later, strange things happen all over the city: foul black sludge flows from the water pipes, living corpses covered in green scales crawl out of the waterworks in the dead of night, and the city's entire water system wails.

On the day of Jingzhe, Lin Yan heads downriver and pulls a female water fiend wearing a bright red bridal gown from a whirlpool in the middle of the river.

The fiend opens her ghastly white, pupil-less eyes, clutches the other half of the jade, presses it against his forehead, and cries, "The gate... needs one more!"

The mysterious antique dealer Shen Jue comes after him, holding a blood-dripping black iron chain and threatening to buy out three generations of the Lin family. His clan relatives conspire with an outside-river financial magnate, hoping to blast open the gate to the abyss at the bottom of the river and seize immortality!

Everyone thinks he's just a river rat scraping by on a bowl of rotten rice?

The seal of the Taiyin Xuanming Bureau: I command you!

The broken jade in his palm joins together. The Changling River reverses its flow for eight hundred li, and hundreds of water demons and dragon spirits kneel and bow their heads!

Open the Gate of Heaven and execute the traitors. Enter closed-door seclusion and bring order to the world!
