Ghosts don't bite, but rules do.
Xiao Jin's sword doesn't kill ghosts, it only kills the one who harms others according to the rules. Ali crawled out of the grave after being buried alive, and from then on he could hear the bones talking. Half of Wen Yao's soul remained in the water, and he could hear the last words of each corpse. Su Buyu carried the blood curse of the whole village for a hundred years, and all the disasters that should have befallen the villagers were swallowed up by her alone.
They are all waiting for someone. Shen Yanci is here. No talismans were drawn, no mantras were recited, just a worn-out "Country Customs Deed". He squatted in front of the coffin and asked, "Do you want to go home or find someone?" Three days later, the whole village knelt to see him off.
Later the five of them came together. Someone in the Central Plains cleared an unknown grave, and the soul in the coffin could not return home. Shen Yan resigned from the old contract and changed the rules, and the ghost disappeared in three days. One person drowned in the third year of the ancient crossing in the south of the Yangtze River. Seven craftsmen under the water waited for seven generations to say "I'm sorry." Shen Yan wrote an essay and burned it, and the water remained calm for a hundred years. In the deep mountains of southern Xinjiang, human beings are sacrificed every year. Su Buyu walked into the cave and found that the sacrificial inscriptions on the stone wall had been tampered with - it was not a god at all, but a hunter who had been unjustly killed.
The five people walked together, Xiao Jin's knife cut off the evil roots, Ali's box collected the orphan bones, Wen Yao's boat ferryed the soul, Su Buyu's witchcraft and Anshan spirit, and Shen Yanci's old contract and etiquette. After traveling around, I discovered that every evil incident had a thread - an ancient contract between heaven and earth that had been changed. The person who tampered with it is still alive today.
The most ferocious evil spirits in heaven and earth are not in graves, mountains, or underwater, but in human hearts. If people do not respect the customs, the customs will eat people.
Purpose: to expose the deformed and ugly customs of the mountains and wilderness, to redeem the resentful souls of the dead with orthodox ancient rituals, and to write about the joys and sorrows of all living beings in the world.
