In the quiet and peaceful Qingyan Town, the strong incense has always maintained people's belief in the blessings of ghosts and gods. However, recently, bizarre incidents have occurred one after another. First, children disappeared inexplicably, and then temple incense ashes spontaneously ignited for no apparent reason. A haze of fear quickly enveloped the town.
Lin Yu, a young Taoist priest, with his persistence in Taoism and enthusiasm for exploring strange things, resolutely went to Qingyan Town after hearing about the strange situation. In the town, he met the mayor's daughter Su Yao, and the two embarked on a journey to find out the truth. As the investigation deepened, they discovered that these strange events were closely related to the general who died unjustly a hundred years ago and the black-robed ghost with resentment. The black-robed ghost attempts to destroy the balance of incense in Qingyan Town and absorb the power of fear to achieve revenge.
Lin Yu had to deal with the secret obstruction and attacks from the black-robed ghosts, and on the other hand, he had to face the misunderstanding and expulsion from the mayor and others. But with his firm belief and Su Yao's full support, he gradually uncovered the truth amidst the crises. In order to stop the black-robed ghost, Lin Yu went to Longhu Mountain to ask for help. After returning, he had a thrilling final showdown with the black-robed ghost. Su Yao discovered that restoring the incense in the abandoned ancestral hall could weaken the power of the black-robed ghost. Finally, with the efforts of everyone, the black-robed ghost was successfully sealed and peace was restored to Qingyan Town. Lin Yu and Su Yao also grew deeper in love during this series of ordeals.
