In the winter of the thirty-fourth year of Guangxu's reign, it was in Yongchang, Huizhou. On the eve of Chen Jiu's departure, he took in an unredeemed copper tomb beast. There was half a copper slip hidden in the seam of its abdomen, and it was engraved with an incomprehensible bull's head pattern. That night, the owner's house caught fire, the owner disappeared, and patrolmen surrounded the door. Master Lao Hulu pushed Chen Jiu up the road to the north overnight, with a volume of "Exotics" in his arms and a ghost wedding jade pendant on his body. He only left one sentence: There are no ghosts in the world, only those who pretend to be ghosts and those who are afraid of ghosts.
Only then did Chen Jiu realize that eight years of living in a pawnshop was just the beginning of this world. The secret vault of the Wing Hall of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom has been filled with ghosts to protect treasures for hundreds of years; the Huidaomen Sky Lantern Club uses miracles to gather people and connect with the Beiyang warlords. Half a copper slip and a volume of "Exotic Products", all the way north, from Huizhou to Luoyang, from Mangshan to Wangwu. Maoshan magic, pharmacological illusions, and secrets of mechanisms are the real rules in this troubled world. There are no talismans on Maoshan, so ghosts and gods can push them. See how a man who is afraid of ghosts can live a ghost-free life.
