Wen Lin's father died when he was two, and his mother died when he was four. A blind fortune-teller in the village declared that he was born under a cursed star, destined for a hard life and an early death.
Growing up, Wen Lin encountered countless wandering spirits. There were spirits that possessed him, spirits that tried to steal his soul, and more besides.
Wen Lin steeled himself, found a master, and went up the mountain to become a Daoist.
Everyone told him to stay away from things like that, warning that an evil spirit might target him and bring harm to his family. They kept their distance from him.
Only his senior brother, who had lived on the mountain for years, greeted him with delighted praise.
"No parents, perfect for this place. And your fate is pretty good, too. You're a human spirit banner."
Wen Lin: "!"
See? He knew he was suited for this line of work! His senior brother even said so!
On rainy days, when they couldn't find any ghosts...
Xie Weiyan would wave him over. "Come on, junior brother, hold the umbrella for a while."
Wen Lin obediently held the umbrella.
The next second, something lunged right at his face. Aaaah! There's something in the umbrella!
When they couldn't find any ghosts in a string of deaths on the highway...
Xie Weiyan would wave him over. "Come on, junior brother, you drive."
Wen Lin obediently drove.
Then he turned his head and screamed. Aaaah! Why is there something clinging to the sun visor?
When they couldn't find any ghosts in a missing-person case at the mall...
Xie Weiyan would wave him over. "Come on, junior brother, stand in the middle."
Wen Lin obediently stood in the middle.
He blinked, then screamed. Aaaah! Where did the mall go? And why is there a coffin in front of me?
Luckily, whenever this happened, his senior brother always appeared in time to rescue poor, helpless little him.
But after enough of these coincidences, Wen Lin's slow brain finally started working.
That damn Xie Weiyan was using him as live bait!

Xie Weiyan usually hated having to go out and exorcise evil spirits to meet his quota, until one day he gained a junior brother with a special constitution.
No one else thought much of the junior brother, but Xie Weiyan took a liking to him at first sight and kept him close at all times.
Can't find any work? No problem. Just find the junior brother. Wherever the junior brother goes, the work follows.
He thought he could coast on his junior brother for the rest of his life.
But one day, his junior brother found out that Xie Weiyan had been using him as live bait and wanted to leave him.
Xie Weiyan immediately grabbed the junior brother, who was about to head back down the mountain. "Junior brother, that was just a joke, hahahaha. Don't go!"
"Don't go! Your senior brother is begging you, boohoohoo~"
