In the summer of 1999, college student Zhang Xuanqing received a call that his grandfather Zhang Xuanqing was critically ill and rushed back to his hometown overnight. When he pushed the door open, he found his grandfather's body sitting upright in the middle of the hall, with talismans stuffed into his seven orifices, and a strange smile hanging from the corner of his mouth.
During the three-day wake, strange things happened frequently: the coffin oozed blood in the middle of the night, the candles in the mourning hall burned green fire, and the villagers who were keeping the wake dreamed one after another of a woman in a red wedding dress standing behind Zhang...
On the night of the first seven days, my grandfather "died up" his body.
Zhang Tong was bitten and was in a coma for seven days. When he woke up, there was a dark red rune on the palm of his right hand. The old man in the village said that this is called the "Corpse Seal" - a sign of being chosen by the corpse evil. If you get this seal, you will not live to be twenty-four years old.
Zhang Ju was twenty-one that year.
In order to save himself and to find out the secrets of Chenjiayu, he became a disciple of Suī Santong, a descendant of the Qing sect in Maoshan Mountain, and learned the techniques of Kanyu, talisman, driving away corpses, and collecting evil spirits. From the haunted ancient house to the yizhuang in the mountains, from the Gu village in western Hunan to the shipwreck tomb on the Yangtze River, he discovered that the death of his grandfather, the curse of Chenjiayu, and the corpse deed seal all pointed to a year that was erased by the county annals——
In 1962, thirty-seven people disappeared in the entire village of Chenjiayu. No one was found alive or dead.
And the woman in the red wedding dress was waiting for him to go back.
