In 1935, Tianjin on the eve of the North China Incident. The Nine-Nation Concession is dotted with luxury and foreign goods, and the black and white are intertwined. On one side are the singing and dancing of the Western-style mansions on the Five Avenues, and on the other side are the living hells of Nanshi Hutong. The Japanese secret service is ready to move in the dark. The former dynasty's elders, gangs, foreign compradors, and revolutionary patriots meet here. It is the center of the most chaotic and dangerous whirlpool in the entire north.
For thousands of years, there has been a line of "hidden sects" hidden in the rivers and lakes of the Central Plains, which has inherited the ancient methods of talismans, fortune-telling, acupoints, acupoints, and exorcisms. It is quite different from the "hidden sects" (extraordinary sects such as color tying, face-changing, sleight of hand, conjure arts, mechanisms, etc.) That travel the rivers and lakes. The hidden sect has taken it as its own responsibility to suppress evil spirits and protect the energy of the Central Plains for generations, and has never been involved in court disputes.

The remnants of the evil cults of the former Qing Dynasty took advantage of the troubled times to resurrect, colluded with the invading forces, and stirred up the storm in Tianjin.
