After Taoist priest Ling Yun came down from the mountains, his unusual clothes, mannerisms, and speech repeatedly landed him in trouble. One rainy night, he encountered a young woman named Lin Wei being harassed by a group of thugs. Using simple, straightforward traditional martial arts, Ling Yun drove them off without seriously hurting anyone. Lin Wei, a moderately well-known independent journalist, was fascinated by him and thought he was like a “living fossil.” She gave him a place to stay for the time being. In return, he would serve as her “special consultant” and accompany her as she investigated “urban legends” and unsolved old cases.
