The revival of spiritual energy is sweeping the world. Strange beasts from "The Classic of Mountains and Seas" appear in the world, black birds fly in the sky among skyscrapers, monsters are dormant underground in cities, superpowers rise up to disrupt order, and the world is plunged into turmoil and change.
Shen Yan, the last Taoist priest of Qingxu Temple in Qingcheng Mountain, inherited the true meaning of Taoism and only adhered to the word "according to fate". After his master became immortal, he went down the mountain to find a place to renew his incense, but accidentally fell into the turmoil of the mortal world.
He meditates in the morning, drinks tea in the afternoon, helps his neighbors solve "weird things" in his spare time, and maintains a warm friendship with Lin Wan, a girl from the grocery store. The so-called inaction does not mean inaction, but non-imposition and non-attachment. In this hustle and bustle of the city, Shen Yan, with a free heart, walks out on his own path of urban enlightenment among the reinforced concrete.
