Huaijie

In Qinghuai Village, which is locked in thick fog in late autumn, a strange Sophora lantern festival plunges Cheng Ye, who returns home for a funeral, into an abyss that subverts his cognition. Grandma's locust wood coffin, the bloody locust pattern on her shroud, the female soul in a red wedding dress flashing in the bronze mirror, and her father's mysterious disappearance twenty years ago all point to a centuries-old sacrificial curse hidden behind the "Locust God" worshiped by the village for generations. The Bronze World Mirror awakens, and half of the world-guarding jade pendant appears. Cheng Ye is forced to be involved in the thousand-year game between the "Light World" and the "Dark World". He gradually grew up from a passive ordinary person to the core of the Alliance of Guardians. Joining hands with Zhou Xiaomei, a natural psychic medium, and the remnant soul of Huaigu condensed with resentment, he traveled to the Yellow River Ferry, Southwest Gu Village, Southeast Ghost Tower, Northwest Ghost City and other weird folklore nodes to fight against the ghost-faced priest who manipulated sacrifices and attempted to awaken the ancient evil god. Family secrets, internal strife within the organization, and cracks in the barrier between the two worlds intensify, and every step is on the edge of life and death. When all the clues converged on Kunlun's ultimate seal, Cheng Ye finally understood that the so-called protection has never been about destroying the darkness, but about guarding the bottom line of people's hearts and balance in the gap between light and shadow. But the whispers of the evil god have not ceased, and overseas nodes have changed. This war that started at the Qinghuai Lantern Festival may be just the beginning of eternal protection.
