The Legend of Gujing Temple

The Legend of the Ancient Well Temple by Luo Gefuchen

A nonconformist Taoist priest named Luo Chen comes down from the Ancient Well Temple on Zhongnan Mountain. His robe is frayed at the edges, and he likes to chew on foxtail grass. He may look carefree and unserious, but he possesses secret Taoist arts, understands the Way of Heaven, and is skilled at warding off evil. The Wang family of Linjiang is plagued by malevolent spirits. A soul-severing curse traps them in their home, evil ghosts possess their kin, and one disaster after another brings them to the brink of ruin. Sent to help in their hour of need, Luo Chen breaks the feng shui formation, drives out vengeful ghosts, and dispels evil spells, easily resolving their crisis. But then he gets entangled with the remnants of the Netherworld Sect. Corpse oil summons spirits, blood curses claim lives, and a banner of a hundred souls is used to refine evil. The mastermind closes in at every turn. Joining forces with Qingfeng of the Qingxu Temple, Luo Chen enters mountain caves, explores haunted houses, and fights the evil sect, using righteous Taoist arts to take on dark forces. Amid laughter and banter, they peel back layer after layer of mystery, protect Linjiang’s peace, and uncover the century-old feud between the Ancient Well Temple and the Netherworld Sect...
