Lin Yan, heir to a family that has guarded the ley lines for generations in the deep mountains of northern Guizhou, has carried the duty of protecting the local dragon vein since childhood. The Water-Quelling Inkstone is his life, and the source of strength behind the three-hundred-year-old dragon vein.
When he was eighteen, his grandfather passed away, and the evil spirits of the Severed Vein Pavilion came calling, intent on destroying the foundations of the land.
To protect the village, Lin Yan set out on the path of a ley-line guardian alongside Chen Laogui, a hermit, and A Nuo, who knew her medicine.
Water ghosts in ancient mountain villages, evil spirits in burial grounds on accursed land, death squads from the Severed Vein Pavilion... Through one bizarre incident and life-or-death crisis after another, he finally understood that ley-line guardians had never been protecting mountains or rivers. They protected the balance of yin and yang in this world, and the safety of countless families.
From a mountain village in northern Guizhou to the vast lands of China, he relied on the Water-Quelling Inkstone and wielded ley-line arts like a blade, stabilizing the dragon veins, suppressing evil spirits, and protecting the everyday lives of ordinary people.
