Tang Dynasty Weird Stories: Nine Secret Changes

In the late autumn of the second year of Xiantian, the ghost market in Chang'an was filled with undercurrents. Although Lu Lingfeng holds an important position in the Yongzhou Judiciary and Military Affairs, because of his status as the "son of a princess", he is walking on thin ice in the three-way struggle between the Supreme Emperor, the Emperor and the eldest princess. Su Wuming saw through the dangers of the court, and under the guise of running the "Liuhe Sushan" gourmet restaurant, he secretly managed intelligence for Lu Lingfeng, trying to find a glimmer of hope for him in this dead situation. However, a bizarre "paper man stealing life" case broke the superficial calm. In the ghost market, people grew old and died suddenly overnight, leaving only a strange bloody paper man on the scene. All clues point to a mysterious organization called the "Nine Nether Alliance" and its leader, the "Wing of Wheels". What they master is not a simple killing technique, but a taboo and evil technique that can steal the life span of others and extend one's own life - "the technique of borrowing life". As the investigation deepened, Su Wuming and Lu Lingfeng discovered that the tentacles of the "Nine Nether Alliance" had already penetrated into the 108th Street of Chang'an. Its ultimate goal was to influence the royal bloodline through evil magic and subvert Li Tang's empire. At the same time, a shadow force from the survivors of the Sui Dynasty and the old ministers of Wu Zhou gradually surfaced. They either colluded with or acted as a check and balance with the "Nine Nether Alliance", making the situation even more turbulent. The Tang Gui team was forced to regroup in the huge maze of Chang'an. What they need to face is not only weird magic and complex conspiracies, but also the ultimate torture of loyalty, family affection and morality in their hearts.
