A paper-and-paste Taoist temple, an orphan apprentice raised in a ruined shrine, and a mysterious master more miserly than a ghost.
Lin Bufan thought the best he could hope for in life was enough to eat. Then a paper effigy slapped onto his face and a string of terrifying encounters dragged him into the abyss of a city where “people have less sense of propriety than ghosts.”
No System, no golden finger. He gets by with spicy strips as talismans, a fishing rod to subdue ghosts, and an old master who says, “Buddhism is Taoism at its core.”
He thinks he’s just an ordinary person, but step by step, he uncovers the shocking secret sealed beneath the Taoist temple…
You’ll laugh until you’re scared out of your wits, then get so frightened you can’t look away.
Welcome to this Taoist temple where nobody plays fair. This time, no one gets to walk away unscathed.
