The Fire Mansion's Book of Folk Customs: the Fire Officer's Century-Old Record of Suppressing Evil

Retired fire officer Zhou Jin's folk safety consulting office has never received a more bizarre request than this rainy night. Shen Qingci, a descendant of the Shen family, came to the house with the mystery of the spontaneous combustion of the old house on the 49th. The fire cloud pattern left at the scene perfectly coincided with the signature of Lin Xiao, a comrade who "died in the line of duty" three years ago. As the investigation deepened, Zhou Jin stepped into the underground fire well of the old house. The one hundred and eight memorial tablets guarded were the Chen family's centuries-old sacrificial secrets. Lin Xiao was not dead, but was actually sealed in the seven-star fire-locking formation as a "living talisman". What shocked him even more was the abnormal awakening of the baby girl Lin Huo'er, who actually contained the consciousness of Yan Jun that could subvert the entire city. During the forty-nine-day countdown, Zhou Jin was forced to regain the professional knowledge of his firefighting career, combine Luban's fire skills and the inheritance of Shen's Nuo opera, and prepare for the formation-breaking ceremony with Shen Qingci. The intervention of the National Bureau of Special Phenomenon Investigation has plunged this folk anti-evil operation into a whirlpool of confrontation between technology and folk customs - Director Chen Zheng's spiritual ritual plan, Chen Shouyi's traditional method of purifying fire, and Shen Hongmei's blood sacrifice transformation strategy. The three paths lead to completely different endings. Weird phenomena erupted one after another in the seven eyes of the Seven-Star Fire Locking Array, including ghost fires in textile factories, fire spirits in libraries, and resentful fires in old theaters. Behind the fire cases that blended the folk customs of various places, there was a three-hundred-year blood contract entanglement between the three major families. When Yan Jun awakened in Lin Huo'er's body and the city was shrouded in flames, Zhou Jin discovered that as a "rootless person" of the Zhou family, his fate was to become the only medium to transform Yan Jun.
