Synopsis

In the chaos of the Republic of China, the martial world is treacherous, the dragon veins are in turmoil, and a hundred schools vie for supremacy. The world's Five Arts flourish: talismans, feng shui, medicine and witchcraft, divination, and spirit control all hide in plain sight, together known as the Eighteen Houses of the Mystic Sect. But yin and yang have fallen out of balance, and yin energy is consuming the world. Vengeful ghosts, wild spirits, mountain demons, and water specters are appearing everywhere. It all began a hundred years ago, when the Talisman Venerable fell, the Soul-Suppressing Stele shattered, and the dragon energy in the earth's veins began to dissipate. Only by gathering the seven treasures of the Talisman Venerable and redrawing the talismanic map of the land can the world be set right. Rumor has it that whoever obtains the Talisman Venerable's legacy will gain eternal life, but nine out of ten who get involved never make it out alive. In a dilapidated Taoist temple outside Beiping lives Lin Jiu, a slovenly Taoist who never parts from his wine gourd, has a sharp tongue and a ruthless touch, yet possesses peerless mastery of the Way, flawless talisman skills, and unmatched strength. Once, he used a single talisman to quell a tide of Yellow River ghosts. As he travels among haunted villages, funeral homes, ghost markets, and ghost-opera stages, he uncovers secrets of folk customs, breaks deadly feng shui traps, and cures century-old afflictions. Laughter and mischief mingle with sorrow and joy, while human warmth shines through the horrors. And so begins this chronicle of the Mystic Sect in a chaotic age.
