Ten Miles of Blue Bridges, Thousands of Miles of Dust

When the phoenix appears, it is as if the whole world is about to catch fire.

Every five hundred years, it bears all the world's sorrows, hatred, and grudges, throwing itself into a raging blaze to burn itself alive. It trades the end of its life and beauty for peace and happiness among humankind.

This countless cycle of transcending death and rebirth, this endless painful cycle of the soul, is known as "Nirvana."

Tang Ling is a blind, feeble nobody, but his constitution naturally attracts ghosts. A red-clad little ghost has latched onto him, and so has a pale-faced scholar.

On a rainy night, as he sleeps soundly, he crosses the threshold and passes through the corridors. In the flash of blue lightning, he looks like a beautiful, withered-bone ghost blooming in the darkness.

Beneath the City God Temple, ghosts run wild and all things wail!

But, most importantly, by sheer chance he also makes the acquaintance of a big shot from the world of demons and monsters. The big shot turns out to be a frozen-to-death ghost with a sword stabbed through his chest. His eyes are as sharp as lightning, and he can see right through people's hearts!

The heavens and earth are in chaos. Demonic winds howl, monsters and fiends roam, and darkness blankets the world. The natural order is reversed, and yin and yang are in disarray.

This world needs cleansing!
