Folklore researcher Lin Zhuxuan disappeared mysteriously in the ancient town of Qingchuan in order to explore the secret of the "Soul Talisman". Luo Shunan from the Provincial Criminal Investigation Corps followed the trail and stepped into this thousand-year-old town shrouded in continuous rain, but he ran into a strange mystery that spanned a century.
"Old Time" The celadon bottle in the inn contains seven ashes, and the number on the bottom of the bottle vaguely echoes the flood tragedy in the 23rd year of the Republic of China; the five-pointed totem on the mural of the ancestral hall is exactly the same as the mysterious symbol in Lin Zhuxuan's notes; the crow tattoos on the necks of the townspeople, the sacrificial legend at the foot of Wangfu Cliff, the "Seven Women's Sacrifice" recorded in "Soul Resurrection Ritual"... Every clue points to the truth that has been deliberately concealed - The ancient town uses the lives of foreign women to quell the "wrath of the water god" every thirty years.
When Luo Shunan found Lin Zhuxuan's body under the bed of the inn, and when the number of the seventh celadon bottle surfaced, he realized that this massacre in the name of "peace" was no longer simply the result of superstition. The "Qingchuan Town Chronicle" held tightly by the mayor, the faded tablet in the dark grid, and the bloody cinnabar crow on the mural all tell a darker conspiracy.
When the rain stopped, the soil under Wangfu Cliff loosened, revealing not only ancient skeletons, but also secrets that could overturn the entire ancient town. What Luo Shunan didn't know was that the last key to breaking this cycle was hidden in the ashes that Lin Zhuxuan clenched before her death.
