Eighteen-year-old Guo Xiaosi is the only disciple left behind by his blind master, Zhao the Blind. Twelve years as an apprentice honed his ability to “read energy from sounds and tell a person’s fate by feeling their bones.” His master’s King Wen drum, along with the creed “The immortals owe no one, and no one should owe the immortals,” are all he has to rely on as he roams the world.
Two people are always by his side. Su Yue calls him a “charlatan,” yet always shows up with a medicine chest. The daughter of the county town’s Hundred Herbs Hall, she knows medicinal herbs and acupuncture, and firmly believes that “problems should be solved, not dressed up as supernatural nonsense.” Then there’s his childhood friend, Wang Pang: a 200-pound butcher’s son who talks too much and scares easily, yet is always saying, “My brother is the best in the world.” He can “bribe” the White Immortal with his belly fat and scare off fake immortals with a butcher’s knife, making him both the comic relief and the team’s unexpected asset.
The three of them gather around a fortune-telling stall in a small northeastern town, where they expose a Yellow Immortal’s trick of asking people to confer a title on it, and witness the eerie transformation of a Fox Immortal. Su Yue may complain, but when her family is entangled with an immortal, she gets her first glimpse of the truth behind “superstition.” Wang Pang’s bizarre, accidental antics always turn the tide at critical moments. And Guo Xiaosi follows his master’s rules, seeking a balance between respecting the immortals and protecting the human world.
When Su Yue discovers she can see the “spiritual energy” in medicinal herbs, when Wang Pang’s chatter reveals truths his master never fully explained, and when Guo Xiaosi gradually realizes that his master left him more than just skills, but also the wisdom to know how humans and immortals should coexist, the three youngsters, each with their own convictions and uncertainties, open door after door to supernatural mysteries across the black earth of the Northeast, and find themselves bound together by fate.
