Ancient Mountain Village Thriller

In the late autumn of Lizong's reign in the Southern Song Dynasty, the situation was turbulent. Wuyin Village, located at the junction of Zhejiang and Fujian and surrounded by mountains, is shrouded in thick fog all year round. The locust trees at the entrance of the village are like soul-calling flags, forming a closed and depressing space. A netherworld village that exists at the junction of Yin and Yang. The villagers are actually the souls of the dead whose obsession has not disappeared, and they maintain their existence by devouring the vitality of the living. The village hides a secret sacrificial ritual at midnight, forming a strange law of survival. Shen Yanqiu, a scholar taking the exam, strayed into a deserted village shrouded in fog and found that everything in the village was strange. The gray-faced villagers, the children playing silently, and the ancient well dripping with blood all hint at the existence of inhumanity. At midnight, the whole village disappeared mysteriously, and the candles in the ancestral hall spontaneously ignited. Shen Yanqiu followed the sound to explore the secrets and witnessed the green-faced and fanged villagers performing flesh and blood sacrifices, and found that the entire village was actually transformed by the souls of the dead. When trying to escape, he encountered a ghost beating the wall. After being rescued by a mysterious woman, he learned the truth about the village. During his final escape before dawn, Shen Yanqiu saw his rotting body at the entrance of the village, and was shocked to realize that he had already fallen into a death cycle. As the locust tree at the entrance of the village revealed the inscription in blood, the entire village turned into a tomb in the morning light. Shen Yanqiu finally realized that he had become a member of the Netherworld and was trapped in this cannibal village forever.
