Deep in Fuyuan Lane in Bincheng, there’s an unassuming place called “Lao Wang’s Odd Jobs.”
Its owner, Wang Bujie, is a disheveled Taoist priest who drinks cheap jasmine tea and scrolls through short videos.
He has three rules for his work: first, he never talks about money, just leave it to fate; second, he doesn’t ask why, but you must tell the truth; third, the process may be bizarre, and you mustn’t question it.
He deals with all kinds of “unclean” things. His services include, but aren’t limited to, handling mischievous little ghosts singing in the middle of the night, settling “household unrest” caused by antique furniture, and helping old ghosts with deep attachments fulfill their dying wishes.
As for his methods, sometimes he uses a few crumpled talismans, sometimes three sewing needles and a bowl of water. His approach is unorthodox, but the results are always surprisingly good.
Then he takes on a paranormal case involving a “little girl in red.” He thinks it will be another routine job of “seeing a client off,” but it unexpectedly brings to light a past that someone deliberately buried...
The Taoist priest realizes that the client seems to be haunted by more than one “little one.”
As lighthearted daily life gives way to heart-wrenching truths, watch this seemingly carefree Taoist priest follow his “rules,” uncover the fog-shrouded secrets, and sweep away the dust amid laughter and banter.
Take note: ghosts and monsters may be frightening, but sometimes the human heart is even harder to fathom. And this Taoist priest? You’d best not mess with him.
