Reader note
Tricks on tombs, pregnant evil spirits in blood coffins, haunted stand-ins, and mountain mandrills appear one after another. The sense of horror and oppression continues to escalate. The contrast between Taoists and masters and apprentices makes jokes to resolve the cold atmosphere. The fights to kill ghosts and exorcise evil spirits are compact and non-redundant. The whole plot has no flaws, the Taoism and talismans are well researched, and it is a masterpiece of pure national style and supernatural beings. Shuhuang can just close your eyes and start reading it!
