Zong Xiao accidentally gets a messy 'Taoist artifact' and gets involved in a battle between good and evil factions. Unwilling to be defined by worldly good and evil, Zong Xiao encounters a series of absurd partners, bloody incidents, and ridiculous teacher-sect disputes along the way, and people from all walks of life "form an indissoluble bond" with him. He picks up troubles side by side with the cute and eccentric heroine Tian Yuyao, and fights against his former enemy Kou Boli for fun. He also encounters challenges and help from weird characters such as the counselor Mo Wenji and the villain Yan Shisanniang. In a series of seemingly outrageous but meaningful events, he gradually came to understand the true value of immortality: to escape from vain fame and fortune, not to be trapped in the conclusion of good and evil, and to dare to face up to and be consistent with himself. In the end, he let go of his obsession, smiled at the absurd life, and was content with his own boat.
