Search Gods and Demons

In the third year of Xianhe's reign in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, mysterious cases frequently occurred in Jiankang City. Those who returned home at night were deprived of their faces by "painted skin ghosts", and the grains in the grain store turned into yellow sand overnight. Even the concubines in the palace claimed to have dreamed of green-faced yakshas asking for their lives. The government and the public were shocked, and Jin Emperor Sima Yan, Wang Dao and others urgently ordered Situ Right Chief Shi Qianbao to enter the court. The world only knows that Qian Bao wrote "Sou Shen Ji" to record anecdotes, but they don't know that he possesses the ancestral skill of "gaining Qi and cutting off demons". He can use pen and ink as a guide and talismans as blades to solve the mystery of Yin and Yang. When Qian Bao entered Jiankang, a locust plague that had never happened in a century was passing by. He looked at the sky and saw black air surrounding the purple star. He checked the files and found that the mysterious cases were all related to the ghosts of a "witchcraft conspiracy" ten years ago. When he followed the clues and found the dry well where the crime occurred, he unexpectedly led to the sealed "Soul-eating Mirage" - a monster that feeds on resentment and has secretly controlled several courtiers. Its ultimate goal is to use the Yin Qi of the Ghost Festival to break into the palace and devour the fate of the young emperor. On the one hand, there is the truth of the old case that is kept secret in the court, and on the other hand, there is the deadly threat of the monster approaching. Qian Bao must find the survivors of the unjust case before July 15th and recast the demon-suppressing talisman with "the tears of strangers, the blood of the wronged, and the bones of the loyal souls".
