In the early years of the Republic of China, at the foot of Daqing Ridge at the junction of Hunan and Guizhou, there was a village surrounded by old mountain roads and old forests called Huifengling. People in the village have believed in an old saying for generations: You can see, worship, and fear things in the mountains, but you can't be greedy.
Orion Shen Yanqiu happened to violate this taboo.
When he went into the mountains on a snowy night, he originally went to chase a white deer with a severed hoof, but what he brought back was an antler stained with the smell of human blood, a piece of red rope that should not appear on the prey, and an "extra" breath.
From that day on, strange things began to happen in the village.
The old man heard someone imitating himself behind the house at night;
A child shouts "Don't tie my hair" in his sleep;
After hunting dogs enter the mountains, they tuck their tails together and stop barking when they see the temple or the moon;
As for Shen Yanqiu himself, it seemed as if he was being targeted by something in the mountains - the more he lived, the more energetic he became, while the people around him declined, lost their lives, and lost their souls one after another.
Until the oldest man in the village, Duan Gong, uncovered an old story that had been suppressed for thirty years:
The mountain god never borrows his life in vain. It first gives you a breath, and then takes it back bit by bit from your life, home, and village.
This is not a story of "man versus ghost";
It is the story of a person who strayed into the ancient mountain rules and was slowly swallowed by the entire mountain.
In the end, Shen Yanqiu realized that what he brought back that night was not a deer at all.
It was a debt owed by the mountain for hundreds of years, and it began to beg for life.
