The pure land of Lingshan is full of lies.
Xiaolingshan Temple, a thousand-year-old Buddhist holy place, is full of incense and filled with Sanskrit sounds. However, strange things have happened frequently in the temple recently: shrill sutra chanting came from the empty Zen room in the middle of the night, the water of the Merit Pool turned into blood for no apparent reason, the monks in seclusion mysteriously passed away, and there were ghosts and shadows deep in the ancient forest in the back mountain... Beneath the peaceful appearance, undercurrents surged and people were panicked.
The abbot elder was worried and handed this important task to the heir to the head - Hai Yunze, a young and promising disciple with special sensory abilities. With the expectations of his master and the safety of the Holy Land on his shoulders, Hai Yunze resolutely stepped into the center of this whirlpool.
He thought it was just an ordinary evil spirit causing trouble, but Hai Yunze discovered that things were far from simple as imagined. Every exploration is fraught with danger and murderous intent at every step. The enemies hiding in the shadows have mysterious methods and seem to know everything about the temple. The clues peeled back layer by layer actually point to a deliberately buried temple secret, a long-lost taboo Buddhist treasure, and even involve the unknown past of some high-ranking people in the temple...
When trust begins to collapse, when familiar classmates may turn into life-threatening ghosts, and when the solemn Buddha statue casts a ferocious shadow, Hai Yunze is shocked to realize that this disaster in the pure land of Buddhism is a well-planned conspiracy that goes straight to the foundation of Xiaoling Mountain. He must race against time, distinguish right from wrong among the many tricks of ghosts, stick to his true heart in the confrontation between Buddha's light and demonic shadow, and uncover the truth of the "Lingshan ghost stories" that can subvert faith, so as to save this crumbling holy land and save his own precarious inheritance path.
