"A Talkative Old Ghost Buried in the Back Mountain of a Taoist Temple" tells the story of Chen Yang, a young Taoist priest who lives in the Qingyun Temple in decline on the edge of a bustling city. In order to save the Taoist temple, he breaks into the forbidden back mountain and accidentally releases Zhao Yifeng, a talkative old ghost who has been trapped for thousands of years. The silent and dynamic combination uses Taoism to solve urban supernatural phenomena in their bickering and cooperation: from starving ghosts in villagers' homes, to ghost dolls in shopping malls, to mysterious organizations trying to open the passage to the underworld.
As Su Yao and other partners join in, the conspiracy is revealed layer by layer - the cause of the old ghost's death, the betrayal of the Xuanmen seniors, and the ghost king's ultimate conspiracy. When the crisis is resolved and the old ghost reincarnates, Chen Yang revitalizes the Taoist temple, but the guardian mission is not over: the plum blossom mark is passed down from generation to generation, from the city to the interstellar world, from the present world to the multiverse, the guardian story continues with laughter and blood, and there are always new adventures waiting.
