When the strange beasts of "The Classic of Mountains and Seas" awaken from the dusty ancient scrolls, modern cities become hunting grounds for monsters and monsters.
Chen Xuanqing, a Taoist priest from Maoshan Mountain, is responsible for the inheritance mission, but he was forced to enter the world after his master disappeared mysteriously. The clues left by the master point directly to the ancient prophecy - the mountains and seas are moving, and the disaster is coming. The compass in his hand no longer only refers to Feng Shui, but also senses the ferocious aura from ancient times.
The baby cries at night, and the shadow smiles in the mirror; the seemingly ordinary psychological clinic quietly weaves a "maze of lies" that destroys the mind; an unknown plague sweeps through the hospital, despair spreads, carrion and mania foreshadow the arrival of the disaster beast "Fei"... One after another The strange and bizarre cases have torn apart the surface of the peaceful city, revealing the terrifying truth recorded in the "Book of Mountains and Seas" - the phantom of the monkey, the delusion of the beast, and the plague of Fei. These strange beasts and spirits that should exist in myths have infiltrated into reality in a creepy way.
Chen Xuanqing walks on the edge of Yin and Yang with his ancestral talismans, Taoism and profound interpretation of "Shan Hai Jing". He faces not only the ferocious and treacherous beasts of the mountains and seas, but also the "Jiuli Society", an ancient organization hiding in the shadows that promotes the appearance of the beasts. They covet the power of strange beasts, trying to open forbidden doors and turn the world into a battlefield between mountains and seas.
Can the gleam of burning talisman dispel the darkness of cognitive pollution? Can the sharp edge of the peach wood sword cut off the minions of the ancient evil? In the terrifying and spreading fog, Chen Xuanqing must get rid of the cocoon of the emerging alien beast crisis, trace the whereabouts of his master, thwart the shocking conspiracy of the "Jiu Li Society", and use Tao as the basis to suppress the evil in the mountains and seas before the ancient alien beasts completely devour the world.
