Synopsis

(This novel focuses primarily on horror, the supernatural, and suspense. It isn't mindless, it isn't about cultivating immortality, and the story is tightly connected. The early chapters lay the groundwork, and there are many genuinely frightening scenes. If you don't like it, feel free to say so in the comments!)

My master said there are only two principles to being a Taoist priest.

First: Never put off revenge until tomorrow. Let it fester in your heart, and it will throw your Daoist mind into chaos.

Second: Strike fast, accurately, and without mercy! Those who fail usually die because they talk too much...

When I was seven, my family members began dying in mysterious ways, and someone took away my parents' “souls”! I was the only one to survive inside the secret chamber, but even I couldn't escape the erosion of the “Five Ghosts Reversal Curse.”

A Taoist priest rescued me and drew the “Yin-Yang Bagua Diagram” on my chest, allowing me to live for a few more years. Then he took me on as his disciple.

And so began my strange and terrifying adventures!

Why does a “Headless Ghost” that takes people's heads lurk in the deep forest?

Where did the century-old bronze coffin in the abandoned ancient tomb come from, and why did it become a terrifying “Flying Corpse”?

Where did all the villagers of Huanggang Village go after disappearing overnight?

What lies buried in the eerie tomb hidden deep within the mountains?

What does the reappearance of the ancient kingdom of Loulan, gone for a thousand years, foretell...?

Is the legend of the “Undying Immortal,” said to have survived for over a century in the lonely mountains, true?

After becoming a Taoist priest, Shen Zhinian's own path of the Dao began.
