Accidental Calamity

When folk beliefs turn into fangs that bite people, incense is no longer a medium for praying, but a poisonous bait that nourishes evil spirits. Li Yiqiu, a consultant at the Folklore Research Institute, and Chen Zhilian, a Taoist priest from Yemao Mountain, a pair of rivals linked by fate due to ancestral entanglements, are forced to join hands to face the strange reality - the century-old Guanyin in the ancient temple is weeping and weeping blood, the Sanqing Palace hangs upside down in the sky, and the Dragon King Festival has been reduced to a flesh and blood sacrifice... They discovered that the gods and Buddhas worshiped by the world have long been distorted into soul-devouring monsters amid the incense. And the root of all the madness actually points to a god-making taboo fifty years ago - the first generation of incense demon is about to awaken with the east wind of cultural tourism renaissance. On one side are the descendants of craftsmen who rationally dissect the statues of gods, and on the other are the temple keepers who know the secrets of keeping objects. The two must find the answer before their faith collapses: Should they cut off the thousand-year incense chain, or let the world become a gluttonous feast for the gods?
