Synopsis of the novel "Night Talk at a Funeral Parlor: Ghost in the Mirror"
In the "Ji's Shroud Shop" in Nancheng Old Street, the young funeral shop owner Ji Chang'an inherited his grandfather's legacy, but accidentally touched a blood-colored jade pendant. From then on, he opened his psychic eyes and glimpsed the mysterious truth of the Yin and Yang worlds. When the first haunted house cleaning business comes to him, he steps into the century-old house at No. 7 Huai'an Road that has swallowed up three owners. He encounters the fatal attack of the resentful spirit Liu Ruyan in the lotus-tangled mirror. The blood-stained embroidered handkerchief sticking out of the mirror and the strange mirror-like phenomenon of the corpse's face involve him in a tragedy that spans the Republic of China.
As the mysterious woman Su Yuqing intervenes with the silver chain soul locking technique, Ji Changan finds himself forced to sign a seven-day life-and-death contract with the messenger from the underworld: If the mystery of the evil spirit in the mirror cannot be solved, he and Su Yuqing will become the new scapegoats. The investigation leads to the Zhou family, a local wealthy family, and reveals that their ancestors tortured and killed their concubine Liu Ruyan in order to seize an antique mirror. The resentment of the evil spirit in the mirror is actually closely related to the forbidden secret technique of soul refining of the "Mirror Society" a hundred years ago.
When Ji Changan's psychic blood jade and Su Yuqing's soul-locking silver chain resonate in the mirror world, they not only have to fight against the deadly curse of the mirror ghost, but also gradually reveal the secret of their grandfather as a defector from the Mirror Society - the Yin-Yang fish gear tattoo on the back of the neck, the legend of the gate of eternal life, and the cruel truth that the blood of twin souls is the key to the door to the world of life and death. In the shadow of the cry of the baby's skeleton and the formation of bone butterflies, Ji Changan transformed from an ordinary funeral shop owner into a yin and yang mediator, but found that he had already become an indispensable part of the Mirror Society's conspiracy...
This is a film that combines Chinese funeral culture, the grudges of the Republic of China, and mystical battles.
