The Fox's Calamity and Lord Guan's Trial

During the Republican era, the elderly carpenter Li Maocai happens upon an ancient bronze mirror carved with a nine-tailed fox. From then on, his temperament changes completely: he starts applying rouge and powder, and his behavior grows uncanny. His son, Li Chengye, suspects that a fox demon has possessed his father. While investigating in secret, he discovers that the mirror was actually formed from a fox demon's core and can capture people's souls. To save his father, Li Chengye braves the rain to seek help from Daoist Qingxu, a master of the Way at Baiyun Temple. But he does not know that the fox demon has already set its sights on the Li family bloodline, plotting a revenge that spans thirty years.
