(The Republic of China + Taoist priests + catching monsters + passion + group portraits + sadistic masters + national destiny, family and country + realistic flow, no system, no immortality)
He has a big secret: as long as the world continues to be chaotic, he will continue to become stronger.
Should he protect this mountain and river with all his strength, or... Hope that it will continue to rot?
In the fourth year of the Republic of China, Shandong. A little Taoist priest picked up from a mass grave. War disasters, famines, massacres, and every time the world collapsed, his Taoism became more refined. The haunted house and death place that other Taoist priests could avoid was like a fish in water when they came to him; the sinister and evil spirits that others could not touch felt like meeting a long-lost old friend.
At first he only thought he was brave and talented. Until an expert pointed out:
"You are not talented. You are a child raised by your own hands in this troubled world."
Only then did he realize: he was part of this troubled world, and he was only there when the troubled times existed. But if he wants to protect the mountains and rivers that are about to collapse, he will be wiped out in ashes when the year of peace comes.
A stack of broken talismans, a lonely lamp, and a young man who was destined to be an enemy of the entire troubled world, and also an enemy of himself.
