Chen Yuan, a folklore lecturer in the provincial capital, returned to his hometown to manage the ancestral medicine shop "Jishitang", but he was involved in the strange whirlpool of the ancient town - every family placed willow leaf bowls, yellow paper was posted on the door, and children lifted up the well stone and fell into coma and murmured "There is someone in the well." Among the relics of the great-grandfather, manuscripts with strange symbols, nine-well silk books and engraved scissors reveal that everything in the ancient town has a "spirit", born of faith and angry because of forgetfulness. What is even more shocking is that the manuscript points to a "human" shape formed by nine wells, with the head facing the old stage where the resentment of the three hundred victims of the epidemic was suppressed. Demolition is imminent, and developers, villagers, and outsiders are undercurrent. Chen Yuan is faced with a choice: follow his great-grandfather's path of "repairing the contract with his own body" to protect the ancient town? Or will the seal collapse and cause disaster to thousands of miles away? Or use scientific thinking to open up a "third way"?
