Qingming Strange News: Jiuqi Netherworld

There is a promise in the bones that will not change for three hundred years. During the Taiping period of the Great Zhou Dynasty, deep in Wutong Lane in the south of Jinling City, there was a pawnshop that only opened at Xu hour and closed at Mao hour. The origin of the shopkeeper Qing Ming is a mystery. With a bone-white thumb ring as evidence, he specializes in collecting those invisible and intangible things in the world that are more precious than life—— A dream about the past, half a lifetime of obsession, unresolved love, blessings in the next life... Nine stories spanning ten years, nine pawn tickets with memories as pledges, and nine agreements with fate. From the painted boats in Jinling to the ancient tombs in the Qinling Mountains, from the Gu incident in the Miao border to the wilderness of Mobei. Every appointment is a journey of redemption through yin and yang. And his own appointment date was approaching step by step.
