World view: Three years after the end of the world, hundreds of ghosts disappeared due to fear of the evil in people's hearts. The evil deeds in the world are far more ferocious than the evil ghosts; Zhong Kui came to the world and stopped catching ghosts, instead killing those hidden in people's hearts. Zhang Yuxuan became the ancestral Zhong Kui bell. The successor (the Bell Keeper), travels with Zhong Kui, with the core mission of "poison that kills people's hearts"; there is a master-disciple/relative inheritance in the Bell Keeper lineage, and Zhang Yuxuan's mother and junior sister are important clues. It is not the confrontation between humans and ghosts, but the confrontation between humans and their own evil thoughts, as well as the collision between the evil thoughts of the lower class and the class-based evil thoughts of the powerful people in the court (Master Zhou) who refine immortality pills and condone evil deeds.

The human heart is scarier than ghosts
When a customer comes to a "black shop that eats people", the reversal comes hard and fast! The fat boss's crying and blaming look is in sharp contrast to Zhang Yuxuan's blood-cold despair, and the tension is directly heightened!
The writing is very real. People's hearts are crueler than ghosts. The most amazing thing about "Zhong Kui Kills Evil Ghosts and Fears Human Heart Poison" is never the fantasy scene of Zhong Kui's arrival into the world, but the core of "ghosts fear people" that is dug out to the bone. In the last three years, hundreds of ghosts have disappeared. This is not because of the clear will of heaven, but because of the evil of human beings who kill their relatives for half a piece of mold cake, push their benefactors off the cliff, and use babies as bait. Even the evil ghosts are afraid of it. Zhang Yuxuan's experience is like a mirror, reflecting the extreme coldness of human nature in troubled times - the robbery of refugees, the deception of merchants, and the stabbing of teenagers in the back. These injuries from "people" are far more piercing than the fangs of evil spirits. And Zhong Kui's setting of "catching bad people instead of bad ghosts" takes the theme to a new level: the real evil spirits are never tangible ghosts, but the poison hidden in people's hearts. This article breaks out of the framework of traditional ghost-hunting articles, using a fantasy shell to talk about human nature, and it is full of stamina. Zhang Yuxuan is not the kind of cheating and invincible protagonist. He can also feel pain, be afraid, and be shaken, but still choose to be good. This kind of growth line is a plus. My biggest feeling after reading this book: Ghosts don't scare people, people do. I hope that I can continue to maintain this satirical intensity in the future and thoroughly overturn the line of "Eternal Life Pill".
The human heart is not enough and the snake swallows the elephant
