Qingming Mountain holds a century’s worth of secret occult arts. At his master’s command, its successor, Lin Feng, descends the mountain with a peachwood sword and a Bagua compass, entering a city of neon lights and surging yin energy.
He doesn’t know how to use QR-code payments or what livestreaming celebrities are, but he can see ghostly faces bleeding through walls and hear soul-snatching wails in apartment complexes at midnight.
The hanging ghost in a cheap inn, the cursed doll in an upscale community, the invisible hand on the 14th floor of a hospital... Behind every bizarre case science can’t explain lie forgotten taboos and deep-seated resentment.
Reporter Su Qing doesn’t believe in ghosts, but she is drawn into supernatural whirlpools time and again. Only after she sees Lin Feng suppress evil with talismans and trap ghosts with formations does she realize that beneath the city’s glittering surface, the balance between yin and yang has long since collapsed into a hellish battleground.
When a century-old blood-soaked vengeful ghost breaks free of its seal and offers the souls of the entire city as a sacrifice, Lin Feng finally understands the true meaning of his master’s words, “Descend the mountain and suppress evil.” He must not only hunt ghosts, but also repair the boundary between yin and yang, torn apart by human desire.
The urban ghost-hunting chronicles of an occult prodigy begin tonight.
