A modern doctor transmigrates into the body of a young man in the Republic of China, only to be swept into a world-shaking calamity involving Maoshan secret arts and a thousand-year-old Corpse King!
Lin Qiusheng, an intern doctor, collapses from exhaustion while trying to save a patient. When he opens his eyes again, he finds himself at the foot of Maoshan in the seventeenth year of the Republic of China. The original body's memories of a yellowed fragment of The Secret Records of Maoshan's Heirs, a child zombie that appears on a rainy night, and Uncle Jiu Lin Zhengying wielding a sword to vanquish evil drag him into a bizarre world where the living and the dead coexist.
A dying Taoist at a ruined temple on Yingzui Cliff three years ago, a Maoshan map concealing the secret of a blood jade in the fragment, and the Corpse King's bloodline suddenly appearing in a little girl from town... When the two halves of the secret records are reunited, Uncle Jiu hands the boy a peachwood sword engraved with the words “Slay Evil” before the offering table at Maoshan's charitable burial house. “Only you and I can overcome this calamity.”
On one side is the fierce clash between modern medical thinking and Maoshan Taoist arts; on the other, a zombie plague sparked by the appearance of the blood jade. Clutching a yellowed copy of Maoshan's Basic Arts, Lin Qiusheng grows from a timid apprentice at an apothecary into a new Maoshan disciple brave enough to wield talismanic fire against evil spirits, all under Uncle Jiu's strict tutelage. As the Corpse King's seal begins to loosen, a battle over a soul-returning formation, one that will decide the fate of humanity, quietly unfolds amid the dark clouds over Maoshan...
When a Western medical stethoscope meets a peachwood sword, and CT scans give way to exorcism talismans, can this transmigrated young man follow in Uncle Jiu's footsteps, cut through the mists between yin and yang, and write a new legend for Maoshan's heirs?
