Deep in the Yinshan Mountains, there is an ancient temple that has been forgotten by the world for thousands of years. The wind is blowing all year round and the fog never disperses. The local people have warned for generations that you must not get even half a step closer at night.
Chen Yan, a young folklore investigator, broke into this forbidden land alone in order to explore the strange past events left by his ancestors. The ancient temple is dilapidated and decayed, covered with cobwebs, and the statues of gods in the temple are mottled and incomplete. The most shocking thing is the 108 soul-locking wooden plaques hanging from the beams.
The wooden sign is engraved with unknown birth dates, and the handwriting is dark red like clotted blood. Each piece is sealed with a ray of resentment for a wasted death. From the moment Chen Yan stepped into the ancient temple, strange things happened one after another: whispering footsteps were heard in the middle of the night, black shadows were always following in the deserted forest, and the temperaments of the people around him changed drastically one after another, as if they were entangled by invisible things.
He gradually discovered that these 108 soul-locking wooden tablets were not ordinary evil objects, and there was a secret of sacrifice hidden behind them for hundreds of years. The traces of the keeper of the ancient temple are mysterious, and the villagers in the mountains each have their own secrets. Every time the origin of a wooden sign is revealed, a horrifying old mystery will be involved.
When all one hundred and eight wooden tablets appear in the world, the seal of Yinshan Mountain is loosened, and the sleeping evil spirit is about to break out of the temple. Chen Yan is trapped in a life-and-death dilemma. While trying to decipher the ancient soul-locking formation of wooden tablets, he also wants to tear apart the unknown bloody truth behind the ancient temple in Huangling...
