Synopsis of the story of "Legend of Zhou Cang: The Brave Man Has No Fear"
In the fourth year of Jian'an in the Eastern Han Dynasty, on the eve of the Battle of Guandu, the Jiezhou Salt Pond, the lifeblood of military pay that Cao Yuan fought for, suddenly suffered a sudden change - after successive heavy rains, the salt pond turned into black water, hiding evil spirits. The bully salt supervisor Lu Bao used the excuse that "the salt god is angry" to arrest children to refine "blood crystals" to please Cao Cao; the Taoist priest Xuanyinzi aided the tyrants and used magic to control water puppets, release poisonous mist, and harm the people of the salt workers with extremely cruel methods.
Zhou Cang, who was in his early twenties, was a salt worker at the beginning. Although he was extremely powerful, he was still impulsive. After witnessing the suffering of children, he wanted to forcefully break into the altar. After Pei Yuanshao's dissuasion and the people's expectations, he gradually grew up: he insisted on protecting the people and resisted the blood temptation of Chi You's remnant soul. He transformed from a "brave man" to a brave and resourceful guardian. He did not even fall into evil poison or fall into an illusion.
Guan Gong rode into Jiezhou alone, and made many attacks with his awe-inspiring righteousness: his sword energy broke through the evil fog, he drew thunder from the sky to drive away the remaining souls, and he even awakened Zhou Cang with his loyalty and righteousness, becoming a pillar of righteousness. However, in the abyss of the salt pond, the remnant soul of Chi You is very ambitious and wants to revive the bloodline of Zhou Cang to seize the world and harm the people. The will of the abyss nourishes the remnant soul with evil energy. Its power is weird and terrifying, making the situation more dangerous.
In the end, Zhou Cang took the fragment of King Yu's stele, joined forces with Guan Gong, and gathered the people of the salt industry to fight against the evil spirits with the fire of his heart and the sword of justice. He exposed the villain's conspiracy and suppressed Chi You's remaining soul. He confirmed the truth that "good can defeat evil" and protected the people of Jiezhou and the peace of Yanchi.
