"Maoshan Tourist Records"
In a time of war and chaos, a young man has lost his way.
In the early years of the Republic of China, warlords separated themselves and evil spirits loomed. Fifteen-year-old Chen Shi became the last disciple of the Maoshan sect. Following his master, who was addicted to alcohol and acted absurdly, but could always turn things around at critical moments, he embarked on a wandering road.
They shuttled between the broken mountains and rivers: the ancient corpse-hunting roads in western Hunan, the billowing smoke from the Jinmen Wharf, the overwhelming sounds of the Shanghai Concession, the vast snowfields of the old forests outside the pass... What they saw were not just monsters and monsters, but also the ghosts, joys and sorrows of people's hearts in this apocalyptic world.
In a deserted village, dozens of corpses stood "homesick" at night, and a young boy tried to cry out for the first time, only to realize that it is difficult to catch ghosts; in a theater in the south of the Yangtze River, a hundred-year-old rouge mirror trapped the remnant soul of a famous actress, and the "Peony Pavilion" duet between humans and ghosts could not sing the worldly obsession; at the Yangtze River ferry, the Yin Qi accumulated into an abyss, and the Taoist priests were unable to save themselves, so they could only make a sad agreement to survive with hundreds of ghosts...
This is not a cool article about slaying demons, but a volume of "Strange Stories from a Wandering Place" in a turbulent era.
They solved one strange thing after another, but they couldn't solve the increasingly chaotic world. Evil is easy to descend, but people's hearts are hard to calm down; magic can save the souls of the dead, but who will save these troubled times?
Walk all the way, see all the way, and decide all the way. In this world where humans and ghosts are indistinguishable, good and evil are intertwined, the last master and disciple of Maoshan just want to ask:
Can we overcome the evil spirits and overcome the troubled times? If you can keep your heart, can you still keep the world?
"Maoshan Traveler's Record", a warm, strange and helpless monster-hunting travelogue belonging to the Republic of China, is now open.
