Folk Customs and Strange Stories Are Incense

The ancient temple in the deep mountains hides secrets, and a stick of fragrance attracts the ghosts. Lin Yan, who has been able to see "dirty things" since he was a child, returned to the isolated Qingwu Village to explore the mystery of his grandfather's disappearance, but was forced to get involved in the "March Incense" ritual that has been passed down from generation to generation in the village. The lifelike paper figures in the ancestral hall, the faceless black shadow knocking on the door late at night, and the bloody flower seedlings that sprout from the ashes of incense turn this blessing ceremony into a contract leading to the underworld. When the incense candles burned out and the sacrifices turned into corpses, Lin Yan discovered that the so-called "burning incense" was never about worshiping gods, but about feeding ghosts - feeding the resentful souls who were trapped in the village and never reincarnated, and also feeding an ancient existence hidden under the mask of folk customs that devoured life. He must uncover the talisman code left by his grandfather before he burns incense next time, otherwise, he will become the next "sacrifice" and be trapped in this cursed mountain village forever.
