[Cultivation] [Folklore] [History]
[Traveling and investigating the strange in the early story, the flames of war in Republican-era China later on]
--
The world was changing, and the great powers of old had all vanished from the mortal realm.
Zhu An traveled the world with a sword and his companions, investigating strange phenomena, discerning the uncanny, and witnessing the myriad ways of life.
Dynasties rose and fell, and the years flowed by, from the Great Ming to the birth of a new China.
On the road, he also had to confront the many collisions between the rules of the world...
--
The seas changed, and human fortunes rose and fell.
He witnessed the obsessions of all kinds of people, as well as all manner of strange sights and eerie events. Good and evil were never divided along human and nonhuman lines.

[He says I'm superstitious. I don't know what to do.]
