Synopsis

The protagonist, Wang Yang, is a gifted Taoist with a fragment of Emperor Fengdu's soul hidden within him. He has trained in the mountains since childhood, and Black and White Impermanence are his childhood friends. One day, after blowing up his master's alchemy furnace out of sheer boredom, he is kicked off the mountain to gain experience.

At the foot of the mountain, he meets his martial uncle. On the way, he hears that the Taoist world is holding a new disciple tournament, so he heads there to take part. Along the way, he slays demons and vanquishes evil, going through all sorts of bizarre twists and turns and gaining many friends and demon servants...

His first stop is a Sha County snack shop, where he unexpectedly meets a wealthy young lady. After learning about her situation, he decides to help her...

During his journey, he will encounter all kinds of people, ghosts, demons, and immortals, along with countless strange and fantastical events. What kind of sparks will fly?

Think ghost hunting is a creepy, hardcore adventure? This guy's got the comedy and thriller twist! He's ostensibly a rookie exorcist sent down the mountain by his master for training, but he's actually the reincarnation of the Fengdu Emperor. Haunted villas, disrupted feng shui, monsters causing trouble? He'll just have to catch them!

Who could resist a gifted yet mischievous ghost-hunting master? The premise that Wang Yang harbors a fragment of the Fengdu Emperor's soul is incredibly imaginative, and the scene of meeting a rich girl in Shaxian is vividly portrayed! Five stars!!

The protagonist seems carefree and irreverent, but he actually has a righteous heart. This "pretending to be weak while actually being strong" trope is very appealing.

From personal trials to involvement in sectarian conflicts and finally to the Corpse King of Hell, the plot expands layer by layer without any dragging.
1 like10mo ago
The protagonist's interactions with various demons, ghosts, and immortals are not all about fighting; there are also instances of subjugation and friendship, showcasing diverse relationships.

Reinterpreting traditional folk legends (such as corpse driving and witchcraft) is both familiar and fresh.

"Within ten steps, is the sword faster or the talisman faster?" The competition within the Taoist sect is full of martial arts flavor, and the fighting descriptions are exciting.
1 like10mo ago
The protagonist has a fragment of the soul from Fengdu within him, and he's even childhood friends with the Black and White Impermanence. This background setting is truly amazing.
1 like10mo ago
The writing style switches effortlessly between humor and suspense, with excellent pacing.
1 like10mo ago
The Xiangxi Corpse-Driving Chapter begins, and with the addition of new concepts such as the Corpse King and the Corpse Refiner, the supernatural adventure becomes even more intense.
