Set in a modern city, this story uncovers the mystery behind the reappearance of a lost secret volume of the Classic of Mountains and Seas.
Before his execution, Guo Pu, the forefather of feng shui, wrote the Complete Classic of Mountains and Seas in blood on his clothes. It recorded the arts of taming beasts and commanding spirits. A thousand years later, the secret volume quietly resurfaces amid a string of arson attacks and bizarre murders.
Reporter Lu Xinghuo unexpectedly takes in Huodou, a “ferocious beast” that can swallow flames and breathe fire. Forced into the conflict between strange beasts, he discovers that he faces a momentous choice of fate. As he confronts bizarre urban cases involving Hundun devouring people and the nine-headed bird stealing souls, he must join forces with a mysterious investigation bureau and uncover the shocking link between ancient beasts and a modern conspiracy. But does the lost Complete Classic of Mountains and Seas conceal a power that can devour the world, or the key to redeeming humanity?
