In the early years of the Republic of China, Lingyi was imprisoned. The ancient seals are broken one by one, and the evil ghosts are pouring back into the world from the cracks in the bottom of wells, ancient houses, and cemeteries.
On the day Shen Du returned to Linjiang Town, his mother had been dead for seven days. Before she died, she lay on the edge of the well every day and looked down, saying that someone at the bottom of the well called her name. He went to see it. A face that did not belong to him was reflected in the well water. The moment he touched the edge of the well, a black and blue line was left on his right wrist - it couldn't be washed away or faded away. It was a fragment of a fierce ghost that had made its home inside his body.
Over the next thirty years, he met seven people. Zhang Dong, Luo Wensong, Meng Xiaodong, Zhang Youhong, Li Qingzhi, Luo Qian, Zhang Bohua. Eight puzzle routes and eight sealed places. They tore the ghosts into pieces and pressed them into their bodies, using human nature as the anchor and lifespan as the cost. They managed to hold on to the crumbling human world amid warlords' melee, invasion by foreign enemies, and out-of-control supernatural beings. .
