[Supernatural] + [Mystery] + [Rural] + [Cultivation] + [Urban Powers]
This is a supernatural mystery and cultivation novel.
Zhang Shihai only wants to live a quiet life as a village teacher, teaching his thirteen unruly pupils.
But an ancient, uncorrupted corpse leads to an altar beneath the cliffs of Xia Village, while students falling into comas are linked to the Red-Robed Ghost Mother of Liu Family Village. As the mysteries gradually unravel, he discovers that he has been manipulated for a thousand years.
Gods and Buddhas want to capture him, while demons and ghosts want to devour him.
Faced with schemes from the heavens and evil spirits running rampant in the mortal world, Zhang Shihai raises his ruler and points it at the gods and Buddhas filling the sky:
“Listen up! I've got a bad temper, and I only like doing three things: teaching, beating ghosts, and slaying gods!”
This is the story of a village teacher forced to pick up his ruler, going from passively accepting events to taking the initiative, and carving out a path through blood and hardship for himself, his students, and the human world, until he reaches a road to heaven.
