In contemporary society, science and technology are advanced and materialism is prevalent. Ancient legends, taboos, and folk rituals are gradually forgotten or regarded as superstitious. The society is fast-paced and indifferent.
The protagonist Chen Qingyang lives in a remote rural area in the south but retains some ancient customs. When he was a child, he learned basic Taoism, talismans, feng shui, and herbal knowledge from his grandfather (Chen Laodao, the last Maoshan Taoist priest with real abilities). However, his grandfather passed away early, and he did not practice it in depth. He only regarded it as a way to remember childhood and strengthen his body. As an adult, I was frustrated in my hard work in the city, and returned to my hometown disheartened. I originally wanted to just farm or start a small business and live an ordinary life.
After his grandfather passed away, he left behind the Maoshan Taoist teachings. Chen Qingyang wanted to just lay down and farm, but he found that the legends of ghosts and monsters from all over the world had come true and resurrected! In order to save the world, he exorcises evil spirits with talismans and broadcasts live broadcasts on his mobile phone. He deciphers China's strange things in a mixture of horror and warmth, becoming the only officially certified "walking version of the "Shan Hai Jing" exorcism master" on the entire Internet.
