The 1980s was a golden age in which the old and the new were replaced and all things were revived. It was also an age in which rituals collapsed, music collapsed, and a hundred ghosts roamed the night. Chen Xun, an educated youth who returned to the city, was involved in a bizarre death before he could embrace the new life of reform and opening up. The only clue is a dilapidated ancient book left behind by my grandfather - "The Taoist Treasures of the World". There are no gods who can call the wind and rain in the book. There are only compasses for surveying Feng Shui, cinnabar for drawing talismans and decrees, and black dog blood for exorcising evil spirits and suppressing evil spirits. When the end of science is metaphysics, when the peace of the ordinary streets is torn apart by the shadow of terror, Chen Xun is forced to become a "barefoot master". Using Taoism as a spear and wisdom as a shield, he walks between the dawn and night of the Republic. From centuries-old mushrooms in the deep mountains and forests to evil things sunk in the ancient Yellow River; from the cannibalistic haunted houses in urban legends to the ancient seals buried deep underground. What he is looking for is not only the truth, but also the fragments of the legendary broken "Dragon Veins of the Nation" because he gradually discovers that what he is facing is not an isolated evil spirit, but a shocking conspiracy that attempts to subvert the order of the world and reestablish a false god!
