My name is Shen Yan. After failing the imperial examination, I was too lazy to sit for it, so I occupied a dilapidated temple on the outskirts of the city to serve as a temple worshiper. My daily goal was to eat and wait for death without getting into trouble.
But ever since I moved in, the dilapidated temple has never been peaceful - I always hear women crying in the back hill in the middle of the night, the incense on the altar table floats by itself, and even the woodcutter passing by said to me, "I saw people in white clothes wandering at the entrance of the temple."
What's even more outrageous is that in the middle of the night one day, a man with a face as white as paper opened the door and called himself "Xie Wuchang". He said that my ruined temple was the "junction of yin and yang". The yin energy had recently leaked out and asked me to help investigate strange things.
I refused on the spot: "I'm not investigating the case. I'm good at fishing. Why don't you find someone else?"
Xie Wuchang sneered: "You are the only one in the entire county who can see 'them', you can't hide from them."
From then on, I was forced to embark on the path of "investigating supernatural phenomena" - helping lost ghosts find their way home, investigating the cause of death for people who died in vain, and having to deal with the headhunters who did not believe in ghosts and gods coming to my door every day to "ask for clues."
But as I searched more and more, I found that there seemed to be secrets buried under the ruined temple. The "things" that came to me were all pointing to a murder case ten years ago.
What's even worse is that Xie Wuchang looks at me more and more strangely. The rice grains sent by Liu Laoshuan are always mixed with inappropriate "things", and even my own memory begins to show gaps.
I just wanted to mess around, so why did I step into the big pit on the edge of the underworld?
Forget it, I can't hide anyway, so let's just investigate - after all, the ghosts are afraid that I'll mess it up, so what should I be afraid of?
