The divine bird Vermilion Bird accidentally eats a poisonous plant and takes a life. After receiving Heaven’s punishment, all that remains is a tiny flame spat from its beak. Under Zhou De’s refinement, the flame grows into Xiao Zhu. Thanks to his heaven-chosen physique, Xiao Zhu becomes the inheritor of Chen Tuan’s dream-entry art. He follows Zhou De through the Three Realms, battling the demons led by the Grand Fangshi. As he cultivates and grows stronger, he also helps people overcome their calamities: Hong Ze was once a sunny young man, but after following his older brother tomb-raiding, he was killed by the Gui King’s ghost and had his soul captured, leaving him trapped in a mausoleum, unable to pass on. The Gui King’s ghost was once a prince of noble standing, but after being deceived by others, he was drawn into palace intrigue at a very young age. He died after losing, and the Grand Fangshi trapped his soul and turned him into a vengeful ghost, until he met Hong Ze and Xiao Zhu...
Once the trio has joined forces, watch as they roam through the Three Realms. How will Xiao Zhu confront the entanglements of his past and present lives? Can Hong Ze rebuild his body and be reborn? How will the little ghost prince escape the Grand Fangshi’s control and overcome his inner demons?
There’s combat, cultivation, suspense, and Buddhist and Daoist wisdom...
