Refutation of Falu

This is a fantasy novel rooted in the folk soil of Northeast China. The snow in Changbai Mountain, the wind in the old forest, the statues of gods that have been worshiped at the entrance of the village for hundreds of years, and the traditional method of rolling eggs on the kang to ward off evil spirits. These elements are woven into the texture of the story one by one. This book integrates northeastern shamanic beliefs, Taoist talismans, folk magic and the art of public transport. It uses solid folk details and textual research skills to construct a worldview in which all things are animistic and gods and ghosts are indistinguishable - trees have their spirit, mountains have their shadows, yellow leather men squat on the beams and talk, the dragon king at the bottom of the river seduces people's souls, ink fountains and strings can suppress evil spirits, and square doors can ward off evil spirits. Here, ghosts are not necessarily evil, and demons know how to repay kindness better than humans. In order to repay the favor of saving his life ten years ago, a red weasel dared to use his own deeds to block the ghosts for his benefactor; but the truly terrifying ones are often the living people who use their magic in the wrong way. "Rules are not made by humans, but by heaven and earth. If you don't abide by the rules, something will come to settle accounts with you." This is what the master taught his disciples, and it is also the core of all the stories in this book - in the face of invisible rules, people can not believe it, but they cannot disrespect it.
