My name is Li Xiangyang. I lost my job after graduating from college and returned to the village in despair.
The village is still the same village, but I can see things I shouldn't see - the creeping black mist under the courtyard wall, the jade plaque that has been suppressed for sixty years under the old locust tree, and the words left by my great-grandfather:
"The tree cannot be moved. If it is moved, we have to wait for the 73rd generation to come back and clean it up."
I counted on my fingers and found that my great-grandfather was in his seventy-first generation, and I was exactly seventy-three in my generation. He buried an unfinished seal in my yard and I accidentally opened it.
The black mist entered my body and the seal was transferred to me.
From then on, when someone's vegetable patch in the village turned yellow, someone's elderly fell ill for no apparent reason, or someone's well water suddenly became bitter, I discovered that there were hidden things underneath these problems – water veins were blocked, earth energy was broken, and evil spirits accumulated. The unfinished work of my great-great-grandfather's generation is like a thorn in this land.
I started to "look into things" for the people in the village. Don't charge money, just charge chicken.
At the same time, the information of the 72nd generation in the inheritance sequence was completely erased. No names, no records, no traces. The thing that wants to wipe out our inheritance is still dormant deep in the earth's veins.
It started to notice me.
People in the village say that Xiang Yang of Lao Li's family looks more and more like his great-grandfather. !
