The Uncle Who Learned Everything Except Studying

The supernatural descends, the gods vanish, and humanity struggles to survive by relying on supernatural abilities. Da Jiu, twenty-four, is an oddball who learned everything except what he was supposed to as a child: butchering pigs, carpentry, making keys, and, as a bonus, a little Taoist magic. His nephew gets into trouble with a red-clad female ghost while visiting their hometown to worship the ancestors, and an S-rank esper is beaten until he vomits blood. Da Jiu sighs, pulls a Nuo opera mask from his snakeskin bag, and puts it on. With a talisman clenched in his left hand and a celestial ruler in his right, he declares, “Nephew, stand back. Uncle’s about to start showing off... I mean, Uncle’s about to invite a god!” He chants the Tianpeng spell, golden light envelops his body, and one swing of his ruler sends the female ghost’s soul flying apart! He helps his classmates search their village for a missing child, only to uncover a mutated mountain god sealed beneath a Mount Tai stone. The former village chief has been sacrificing the living? Da Jiu laughs in fury. “Today, I won’t be preaching the Dao. I’m inviting the True Lord Erlang to teach you all about physical exorcism!”
