A reclusive, penniless Maoshan Daoist lazes around and slacks off in the bustling city, scraping by with his silver tongue. By day, he's goofy, greedy, and always complaining. But when he encounters evil spirits or wicked people, he becomes ruthlessly decisive in an instant. As he takes small jobs from ordinary folks to settle yin-yang troubles, send ghosts on their way, and save people, he also tears apart the city's hidden scheme to cultivate evil spirits.
