Seventeen Years of Strange Tales in Beiyang

In the era of the Beiyang government, chaos and conflict reign, and the people suffer. A Taoist descends from the mountains to slay demons, quell the turmoil, and save a dying world. A Buddha chants “Amitabha” and gives aid to the poor. The Hongmen and Green Gang stir up trouble in the martial world, seeking to rise above the rest. An ancient Miao village emerges from the mountains and steps into the martial world, seeking fame throughout the land. Northeastern bandits cross a world in turmoil, seeking only wealth and status. And then there are the spirit ferrymen, unseen for a thousand years. They seek no fame, no official post, and no wealth. They speak only of demons, ferrying the souls of passing travelers across the human world.
