The Manual for Suppressing Evil Spirits, left behind by his grandfather, draws Chen Jiuyue, a folk-culture researcher who despises tomb raiding, into a shocking maelstrom. The Five Elements Coffins of Evil Suppression lie scattered across China’s secret realms. Golden silkworm gu formations, netherworld vines, and resentful spirits steeped in chilling malice threaten lives at every turn, as multiple factions vie for power with ruthless desperation. The cryptic bronze inscriptions of Sanxingdui and the eerie shadows in the sands of Loulan conceal the secrets of the power that suppresses evil and the destiny of the land. As the shadow of the evil spirits’ return draws near, can they gather all five coffins and unravel the thousand-year conspiracy behind them?
