Shen Qingxuan, a prodigy in the occult calculations at Qingming Temple, was trapped in the "Seven-Star Evil Destruction Formation" that was encircling and suppressing the thousand-year-old Xuanhu. When the opponent's self-destruction caused a rift in time and space, he traveled to the modern magic city with the semi-awakened ancient treasure "Bagua Reincarnation Pendant".
There is no aura here, but there are "artificial evils" made of steel and concrete - the "Heavenly Killing Evil" in the office building harvests Yang Qi, the "Yin Gathering Formation" in the Internet celebrity live broadcast room feeds the remnant souls, the "Financial Broken Bureau" in the financial circle hides witchcraft, and even the city planning has been tampered with by the remnants of the Xuanyin Sect, turning it into a hotbed for inner demons that absorb negative emotions.
As an ancient Taoist priest, Shen Qingxuan uses the "qi-gazing technique" to see through surveillance blind spots, the "human mind deduction technique" to solve high-IQ crimes, the "Qimen Bagua array" to counter technological traps, and combines Feng Shui metaphysics with modern psychology and game theory. With the assistance of the upright but pragmatic criminal policeman Lin Chen, and the hot-blooded and keen investigative reporter Su Xiaoya, Shen Qingxuan repeatedly solves strange and unsolved cases:
- Behind the internet celebrity's live broadcast of the haunted house is a cruel conspiracy to use "popular Yang energy" to resurrect the evil leader;
- Financial giants have gone bankrupt one after another, hiding the dual traps of "promoting wealth but losing money" and short-selling capital;
- The unsolved case of "Hundred Ghosts at Night" in Shanghai during the Republic of China actually shares the same time and space node as the modern serial murder case.
As the investigation deepens, Shen Qingxuan discovers that the Xuanyin Sect's conspiracy has spanned hundreds of years - they want to use the "original sin of anxiety" of modern civilization to open the door to the ancient evil realm and release the origin of the inner demons. And his time travel is not accidental. The real power of the Bagua Samsara Pei is to allow him to travel repeatedly through the four time spaces of "ancient times, the Republic of China, modern times, and ancient times".
