In the old town of Linjiang City, there is a small shop called "Qingxuan Tang".
The owner, Gu Xuanqing, is a Taoist priest who has no Taoist temple, no ultimatum, and rarely wears Taoist robes. He chooses a day to look after someone's house, but he never easily accepts the business of exorcising evil spirits and catching ghosts. Because the master told him before he died: Most of the ghosts in this world have injustices. What is really scary is when someone uses ghosts to do things.
Until one rainy night, the night watchman of the funeral home came to the door with a bag of money stained with corpse blood. An unknown corpse of a man whose name was taken away would hold a lamp and borrow fire from living people every midnight.
Gu Xuanqing found the name of the deceased, but heard a warning from the soul:
"You have also borrowed other people's lamps. You have borrowed more than me."
Later, another name appeared in the bronze mirror left by the master - Sun Wuming. The voice of the master who had been dead for many years also came from outside the door, asking him to lend him a lamp.
Behind Gu Xuanqing in the mirror, there were seven pale children standing.
Six bowed their heads.
The seventh one has exactly the same face as him.
The seemingly independent supernatural events began to point to the life-borrowing ceremony that was buried twenty years ago. When ghosts search for the truth and living people try to borrow ghosts to kill people, Gu Xuanqing also has to ask: Whose life has he borrowed while he is alive today?
"Zi Shi Gui Lu" - After Zi Shi, don't borrow fire, don't respond, and don't believe yourself in the mirror.
