The bamboo slips of "The Classic of Mountains and Seas" have decayed, but the strange beasts have not gone far.
They are the five tails of the red leopard of Mount Zhang'e, the flames of the one-legged bird of Mount Gui, and the red head of the white dog of Yushan - hidden in the folds of mythology, waiting for a mortal who can understand the language of scale claws.
Gu Shiyuan never thought that that mortal would be him.
When the "Monster Suppression Tower" appeared on his mobile phone, the overtime worker's suit was stained with animal blood, and the PPT chart was replaced by the seal characters on the stone wall, he finally understood: the so-called "exotic beasts" are just neighbors living in another dimension; the so-called "Monster Suppression" is never about conquest, but symbiosis.
This book is about a mortal holding a mobile phone, starting in the firelight of the "Western Mountain Sutra", and stopping under the sky of the "Great Wilderness Sutra". With his ferocious horn, Bi Fang's flames, and the tail of the nine-tailed fox, he climbed to the top of the tower step by step, not to become a god, but just to let the light of the two worlds finally shine into each other's folds.
After all, what defines a "demon" is never its form.
