[Supernatural + Suspense + Feng Shui + Ancient Setting]
My name is Chen Xuan. I was born with a pair of yin-yang eyes that let me see what ordinary people cannot. Because of them, the entire village branded me a “jinx” and drove me out.
With nowhere else to go, I was taken in by a one-eyed, lame old man. He was an heir to the Lu Ban tradition, running a general store on the surface while secretly making a living exorcising evil spirits and capturing ghosts. I learned his craft, and gradually discovered the other side of this world: the evil hidden deep in people’s hearts is harder to deal with than ghosts and monsters.
After my master disappeared, he left me a ghost-headed saber sealed with the soul of an executioner, and a demon stone that could sense his whereabouts. As I search for my master, I also deal with the troubles that come looking for me: miners possessed by evil entities, a mysterious organization that uses the seven emotions and six desires to summon the “Lord of Hell,” and the traitor Ma Yi, who betrayed our sect and murdered my grand-uncle.
Along the way, I met the stingy but dependable Ouyang Tian, the innocent and lively Su Ningxue, and a five-black dog named Heitantou. I stole a primitive tribe’s totem, burned an evil Buddha that devoured memories, and nearly died from Ma Yi’s poison.
Now the organization is looking for me, Ma Yi is looking for me, and my master’s corpse is being controlled by Ma Yi to roam from place to place. I have a ghost-headed saber, a whistle that can summon mountain giants, and three days left to live.
See you at the ancestral hall in three days.
