A thousand years ago, in the Han dynasty, when witchcraft was widespread.
The owner of this tea house, reputed to be the finest in all of Chang'an, is actually a sorcerer!
Ancient pre-Qin witchcraft techniques are recorded in bamboo slips as the "Cavity-Curing Formula." They must be used alongside zhuyou incantations and Yu's steps, as well as the long-lost Book of the Southern Tortoise.
After Wu Liang and Zhang Yang are inadvertently drawn into a dispute between a Jinwu officer and another man, they must face Bi Lianghou's sentence of "ghost fuel" labor. Behind the imperial edict lies an even deeper conspiracy, as the court's factions vie for power...
Wu Liang holds a round tile in his left hand and a sword in his right. With his hair loose, he raises his head to the sky and prays:
"Gao! I dare to report to Lord Dongchen of the ramparts... Please offer a black cow and her calf!"
After reciting the prayer, he suddenly smashes the tile with his sword, then throws a shard toward the eastern wall and shouts, "Done!"
Then everyone sees this bizarre sight.
A shadow on the wall runs, crouches, and stretches out its claws as if roaring!
[Rule Four: Autumn stone can suppress the Guiyou power and can also kill shadows]
