As the saying goes: "A paper man can only draw eyes without finishing his eyes, and a paper horse can stand without raising its mane."
Twenty-year-old rural youth Guo Caishun, out of greed and curiosity, uncovered the red hijab of a girl tied with paper in the ancestral temple on a thunderstorm night, committing a sinful act. Overnight, his body turned into paper, and he fell into the deadlock of "a living person is put in a coffin, and a paper person asks for his life". Fortunately, he was rescued by the mysterious night watchman. In order to survive, Guo Caishun was forced to sign a contract and follow the old man to travel between the Yin and Yang realms, becoming a "debt collector" who records strange things.
From the strange tales of the horse fairy in the north, to the mysterious inn where corpses are driven away in western Hunan; from the vicious curse of "missing a skill" in Luban Shu, to the strange tales of rules under the reinforced concrete in modern cities. Four volumes of mountains and seas, four hundred kinds of taboos. He traveled to every corner of China and witnessed the horrifying truths hidden behind folk customs.
But the most terrifying thing in the world is often not the arrogant ghosts and gods, but the greedy and twisted human heart.
Hundreds of ghosts walk at night, and strangers avoid them. The stories in this book may happen right behind you.
