Synopsis

Whenever Eunuch Li from the teahouse downstairs told stories about the many strange and uncanny things he had encountered in his youth, a crowd would always gather around him. Whenever I was bored as a child, I would run over to listen. A corpse that had been dead for days was pulled from the Yangtze River, yet bled when its relatives came to see it. The owner of Second Brother’s restaurant had a brother who was a sworn brother of the underworld. One night, he followed the gang’s leader to an abandoned temple in the barren hills to pick up goods, only to encounter a supernatural creature.
