Soul Transmigration to the Sixties: The Metaphysics Expert Wants to Lie Flat and Give Up

The metaphysical grandmaster Lin Su failed her tribulation. As she ascended, lightning struck her, and she awakened in the body of Qu Xiaotang, a sent-down youth in 1965. In a poor mountain village where spiritual energy is scarce, the only thing that warms faintly is the mysterious Merit Bowl in her sea of consciousness. This glazed bowl offers her a chance to resume her cultivation, but it also draws her into one strange case after another: a young woman drowned in an abandoned well at the threshing ground, corpse spirits entwined around a century-old locust tree in a mass grave, and the Zhou father and son’s evil scheme to raise a baleful force in a “spirit eye.”

The original Qu Xiaotang was smeared and paraded through the streets for refusing a forced marriage. On the night she was locked in a woodshed, Lin Su discovered that beneath the production team’s seemingly peaceful facade lay a century of crimes. In the name of “marriage,” the Zhou family siphoned women’s fortune and fed the locust tree with the blood of young girls. They even entombed their daughters-in-law beneath its roots, hoping to keep the family prosperous forever through sinister magic. Lin Su was targeted because she was born with a “noble benefactor’s fate,” the final piece in the Zhou family’s plan to renew their fortune.

To break free and survive, Lin Su wielded metaphysical arts like a blade. When she cut down the baleful force in the well, she drove off the female ghost with blood from the tip of her tongue. Before the mass grave, she used a rebirth mantra to guide the infant spirits onward.

When the Zhou heir died suddenly on his way home and the old locust tree turned to ash in a storm of lightning and fire, golden light began to shine ever brighter from the Merit Bowl, only to bring an even greater mystery to light.

What is the truth behind the unusual bloodline of Ye Shuo, the reclusive veteran? Was the old hunter’s death connected to the calamity that befell Hunter’s Village?

In an era when people tremble at the mention of the supernatural, Lin Su uses “folk remedies from traditional Chinese medicine” as a cover for driving away evil.

When a metaphysical grandmaster lands in the 1960s, watch her use merit as her game piece, cutting away the evils of the world and restoring peace to the country amid feudal remnants and the constraints of the times.
