Sending Off the Gods

The fiend Yin Ci has lived for several hundred years and is thoroughly sick of life. He plans to seek out the legendary Ghost Tomb for flesh of the Living Earth, turn it into a deadly poison, and kill himself. To keep a low profile, he grabs a novice master to use as cover. A once-in-a-century prodigy, Shi Jingzhi is nearing the end of his life. He, too, plans to seek out the flesh of the Living Earth in the Ghost Tomb, turn it into a miraculous medicine, and eke out a little more time. To make sure he can enter the tomb safely, he ropes in an innocent disciple to pad out the numbers. The two rivals gaze into each other's eyes, delighted: Great, I've got someone to fool. #Master and disciple, together for life. Whoever gets the goods first is a dog# #Actors aren't scary. It's awkward when your secret identity is exposed first# A heroically desperate-to-survive gong × a desperately-seeking-death shou More or less low-magic xianxia. Two people who play the pig to eat the tiger meet, and the master and disciple join forces to wreak havoc on the world (?) Reader's guide: ◆ Strong x strong, happy ending.
