The mountains in western Hunan are cannibalistic mountains.
Especially in the deep mountains of Wuling at night, the dark peaks look like giant beasts crawling on the ground, eating away every trace of the skylight. This is the inaccessible hinterland of Miao territory. Villages are scattered on various hills. Houses face each other across the mountains. It takes half an hour to walk there. This is also a chaotic place where the living and the dead coexist - there are countless dead people buried in the deep mountains and dense forests. Their resentment is not dispersed, and they quietly climb up the window lattice of the living every foggy night.
My name is Yu Qiankun, a native of Xiangxi Miao Village. I have been learning Taoism from Master Yu Wu in the village since I was five years old. Yu Wuye's Taoism is profound and unpredictable. He is the legendary yellow-robed heavenly master who specializes in solving all kinds of strange things for the people in the village - driving corpses back to their hometowns, summoning souls to summon spirits, suppressing evil spirits, and transcending the souls of the dead. I learned his skills from him for eight years. Three years ago, my master closed his eyes and returned to the west. The business of chasing corpses and sending souls on this night road with a radius of hundreds of miles in the mountains fell to me alone.
There is an old saying in Xiangxi: Living people follow the Yang path, and dead people follow the Yin path. A corpse hunter is a person who walks in the gap between the yin and yang realms.
But I didn't expect that something would happen the first time I drove a corpse independently. Among the three corpses that died in a foreign land, one suddenly transformed and was possessed by a fierce ghost. He actually said one sentence: "Yu Wuye's apprentice? Your master owes me, you come to pay me back. Go to Da'ao Mountain and find what Yu Wuye buried."
What did Yu Wuye bury? What did he do when he went to Da'ao Mountain alone every month during his lifetime? What does that evil ghost mean by "owe"?
Full of questions, I walked on

It's terrifying to think about it, this place really exists, and it's all named after Yu [Shocked]
