Transmigrating to the Republic of China to Become a Taoist Priest

Mei Luo transmigrates into the Republic of China era as a beggar beneath a bridge, so thin he's skin and bones, with not a penny to his name and on the verge of starving to death. To earn money for food, he can only fall back on his old line of work: cheating and swindling people. No, wait, fortune-telling. Mei Luo (wagging his head): "Madam, your brow is clouded. I'm afraid you went walking by the river last night and attracted a water ghost." The richly dressed young woman turns around, sees a little ghost perched on her shoulder, rolls her eyes, and faints. Mei Luo (mysteriously): "No one knows, right? This embroidered shoe eats people!" That night, the embroidered shoe goes "om nom" and eats the thief who crept into the alley, bones and all. Mei Luo (dead serious): "You see, these fields may look like they're growing watermelons, but they're actually full of human heads." A bunch of heads leap out of the fields and chase him for a mile. Mei Luo (at a loss for words): "I really was just making it up!" A crowd of big shots show up at his door with gold and silver treasures, weeping and pleading: "Master, you weren't making it up! Save us!!!" After transmigrating to the Republic of China era, the little con artist Mei Luo becomes a genuine ghost-hunting master. A century-old water ghost brimming with resentment in the river. An embroidered shoe in an alley that eats people. Human-head watermelons on the field ridges. Vengeful spirits and evil ghosts in an antique mirror. A corpse-raising ground in southern Sichuan, thunder on Phoenix Mountain, a strange tomb in the Qilian Mountains, dragon bones in the Kunlun Mountains... A supernatural Republic of China unfolds before his eyes. Mei Luo in the past [dodging and evading]: I'm really not a Taoist priest. Ghosts, please stop coming to me for help. Mei Luo later [confidently chasing ghosts]: I'm the strongest! Ghosts, come die beneath my peachwood sword! Taoist priest bottom x White Snake top The cover features the snake top!
