Ghost Blows Out the Light: The Secret Tomb of Mount Longhu

To cure Fatty’s sudden, bizarre illness, a “thunder-patterned blood rash,” Hu Bayi, Wang Pangzi, and Shirley Yang follow clues from The Secret Records of the Celestial Master Clan deep into Mount Longhu in Jiangxi, in search of the Yin-Yang Dragon-Locking Tomb built by Zhang Daoling during the Eastern Han dynasty. This secret tomb combines Taoist bagua with cliff-coffin burial customs. One half is embedded in a Danxia cave, while the other hangs above a hundred-meter precipice. Within lurk strange entities such as “talisman-paper zombies” and “blood corpse fiends,” along with a vicious evil spirit formed from the resentment of tens of thousands who died unjustly deep beneath the earth. Along the way, they encounter Lord Lin Jiu, a descendant of the tomb guardians. His grandfather was once a tomb robber, and he carries half a map of the tomb, hoping to claim the Celestial Master’s Manuscript and fulfill his grandfather’s last wish. The four join forces and enter the tomb, only to discover that the so-called “Yin-Yang Token,” said to break the curse, is actually the key to controlling the blood corpse fiend. Taking it could save Fatty, but might also unleash the fiend and bring ruin to the living. As the talismans that suppress evil among the hanging coffins go up in flames and the earth trembles, the blood corpse fiend is on the verge of breaking free. Hu Bayi faces the ultimate choice: violate the Mojin captain’s ancestral rule against destroying the earth’s veins, or abandon his companion to protect all living beings? Deep in the ancient tomb, Taoist mechanisms intertwine with the curse of the hanging coffins, while loyalty clashes with greed. A struggle over legacy, reverence, and human nature unfolds amid thunder patterns and blood mist...
