Lin Mo was forced to return to the isolated Qingwu Village because his grandfather disappeared mysteriously. The old locust trees at the head of the village, the mourning tunes in the middle of the night, and the ancestral halls enshrining nameless tablets, all hide the terrifying taboos passed down from ancestors - the ghosts here are all transformed from folk legends. They have no entity and do not abide by the rules. More importantly, they cannot be killed and can only find a way out by following the taboos. Once they make a wrong step, they will be doomed.
From the first night when he was haunted by the "Hanging Ghost", Lin Mo understood that the shabby "Avoiding Evils" left behind by his grandfather was the only guide to survival. The mourner cannot turn back, the lantern cannot be blown out, and a corpse must be resurrected by a substitute... Behind every taboo, there are shocking death cases. He not only has to escape from death in folk horror legends and uncover the truth behind his grandfather's disappearance, but he also has to be wary of the villagers in the village who have their own agendas - they seem to abide by taboos, but in fact they are using the legends to do ulterior motives.
As the investigation deepened, Lin Mo discovered that Qingwu Village was a huge "legendary cage". Those unkillable ghosts were actually monsters that had been fed for hundreds of years by the villagers' obsessions and taboos. And he himself has long been the next "sacrifice" chosen by the legend. Either you must understand all the taboos and escape from the pursuit of ghosts; or you may break the rules and become a new footnote in the legend. This is a life and death game with no retreat, taboos are the way to life, and legends are the talisman for life.
