There are villages and towns in the Yang world, and evil spirits in the underworld;
Feng shui regulates yin and yang, and incense regulates heaven and earth;
A small temple carries incense and worships it to gain immortality;
Evil things eat people, and people take advantage of evil things.
I, who have a very light fate, inherited an evil temple that had been abandoned for hundreds of years.
I use incense to prolong life, and use secret techniques to ward off evil spirits.
The beheaded incense demands life, the bloody corpse guards the grave, the little ghost bites back, and the ghosts walk at night...
A series of folk strange things, life and death crises again and again.
The villagers worship me, the clan is afraid of me, and the underworld respects me.
It wasn't until I uncovered the truth behind the temple that I discovered:
What I guard is the biggest taboo in the world.
What I worship is the good god who has been imprisoned for hundreds of years.
And those who sealed it back then were the most devout pilgrims.
Reader comments
When I opened "Incense to Suppress Evil", I thought it was just a supernatural novel with an exciting plot. But the more I read, the more I realized that it contains a profound core that goes far beyond a ghost story. After closing the book, those horrifying evil visions gradually blurred. Only the words "Suppressing evil is not suppressing evil, but suppressing the heart" echoed in my heart for a long time, which made me understand that what this novel really wants to talk about is not the magical power of slaying demons, but the power of people's hearts to do good, and the courage and salvation of mortals to fight against their own dark side.
The most subversive setting in the novel is that it points directly at the source of evil in the world to the collective evil thoughts of mankind. The Youzhu in the book is not a demon born out of thin air, but an incarnation of the greed, resentment, selfishness, and violence in the heart of the human heart. Even the founder of the evil-suppressing sect was once a sober person struggling with evil thoughts. This setting completely breaks the traditional perception of "evils are out there" and instantly elevates the concept of the entire story: what we have to fight in our lives is never the distant monsters and monsters, but the darkness and obsession deep in our own hearts. The so-called suppression of evil has never meant using magic weapons to drive away external demons and monsters, but rather guarding one's own heart, restraining evil thoughts, and cultivating one's own heart. The most terrifying thing in this world is never the weird stories, but the human heart that has lost its good thoughts and is coerced by desires; the most powerful magic weapon to suppress evil is never the secret treasure of Xuanmen, but the conscience and bottom line deep in the heart.
A new author is on the road, and his debut novel is being serialized ~ The writing is still shallow, so I ask all book friends who pass by to bear with me and give me a like and encouragement! You are also welcome to leave your valuable opinions in the comment area. I will read every one carefully and work hard to improve! 🙏
