I'm the Guardian of a Dry Well, and My Identity Has Been Exposed!

There is an ancient dry well at Mingcheng Gude Temple. No one knows how old it is, but a legend has long been told about it: tear off the talisman on the rim, and the evil spirit sealed inside will be released.

During the seventh national census, census workers arrive at Mingcheng Gude Temple and find the well.

"This looks like an abandoned temple. Are you sure anyone lives here?"

"Who knows? Probably not. What's that talisman on the well?"

One of the workers, curious, tears it off and examines it in his hand.

Sensing that the seal on the well has been broken, Jiang Chen jolts awake from his cultivation and rushes outside.

He kicks the person who tore off the talisman flying and curses, "Damn it! I've guarded this well for years and protected humanity for nearly a thousand years. Now that you've torn that off, evil spirits are about to return to the human world!"
