In the twelfth year of the Republic of China, Qixing Town in Lingnan.
Asheng, an orphan who was born with a golden pupil in his right eye, was attacked and killed by a blood corpse that had never been seen in a century while doing odd jobs in Yizhuang. At the critical moment, he was rescued by Uncle Jiu, a Taoist priest from Maoshan who traveled here, and he revealed the taboo secret that his right eye can see into yin and yang and communicate with ghosts and gods.
On the seventh Hungry Ghost Festival, the master and the apprentice investigated the murder case of a water ghost, but found seven bronze coffins engraved with Nuo opera totems at the bottom of Qixingtan. The Black Nuo Cult feeds Yin soldiers with human blood in an attempt to restart the ancient secret formation of Wu Nuo. When Uncle Jiu was poisoned by corpse while protecting the townspeople, the young Taoist priest was forced to open his eyes in advance. However, on a rainy night when the sky was full of evil soldiers, he saw clearly the thread of cause and effect entwined in the lives of all living beings - those eyes that could see through yin and yang actually reflected the future of his master's death.
The appearance of a bronze coffin at the bottom of the pool, the priest in red behind the curtain on the stage, and the ancient prophecy that "golden eyes appear, the Nuo god returns" push A Sheng into the whirlpool of fate. When Taoist talismans confront the evil methods of witchcraft and Nuo, when the friendship between master and apprentice collides with the ruthless nature of heaven, the young Maoshan first disciple must finally understand: What is more difficult than slaying demons is to keep a human heart at the intersection of yin and yang.
