Old-School Taoism: I Walk in the Ghost World

In the 1990s, fireworks and secrecy were intertwined in the old streets of Hong Kong. Behind the craze for ghost movies was the world's awe and curiosity for the unknown. Chen Tianbao, who returned from studying abroad, received the sad news that his uncle Jiu had passed away mysteriously. The old man who guarded the old street for his whole life with old-school Taoist skills died in a locked tenement building. Weird things happened frequently in the mourning hall. Before his death, he saw a pair of strange and unidentified men and women. After returning home, from his initial disdain for Taoist craftsmanship to being forced to pick up the "Book of Suppression and Destruction of Yin and Evil" passed down from his ancestors, he discovered that there are really yin and yang in this world, there are evils hiding in the dark, and there are human rules that need to be followed. There are no magical powers, no flying to the earth, only a red rope, a paper charm, a few copper coins, and a handful of glutinous rice. There are no earth-shattering adventures, only the weird things in the streets, the warmth of the neighbors, and the old rules of returning to the house for the first seven days. The tough-talking and cute Fa Xiao Moale, the gentle and considerate Su Wan, and the spiritual dog Dafu who can warn evil spirits accompany him throughout the old streets; the strange shadows in the alleys, the strange reincarnation in the hotel, and the secrets of Uncle Nine's death are revealed layer by layer. Chen Tianbao uses Taoist techniques to determine yin and yang and destroy evil spirits, and uses his mortal body to protect human ethics and peace. In this ghost world, he walks a path belonging to the old school of Taoism, and also finds out the layers of suspicion behind the death of Uncle Jiu.
