Jiuling Town Linglu

In the 1990s, strange things happened one after another in Qingxi, a water town in the south of the Yangtze River. A little girl in the west end of the town cried all night long, confessing that she saw an old man in black; a baby in the east end of the town had an inexplicable convulsion, and the medicine had no effect; the fish pond in the north end of the town was overturned overnight, and the fish and shrimp died tragically in groups, but the aquatic product station found nothing abnormal. Rumors spread everywhere, and people were panicked. Only Chen Wangan, a young Taoist priest from the Chen Family Courtyard in Nantou, could see the truth behind the strange things - those obsessions forgotten by the years, those concerns that no one could comfort, were disturbing the world of the living in another way. There are no earth-shattering rituals, no miraculous powers, only the compass to determine the direction, the talisman to calm the mind, and the mugwort to drive away chaos. Chen Wangan follows the footsteps of his ancestors, amidst the taboos of the times and the fear of the people, step by step to uncover the mystery of obsession, and guard the tranquility of the land and water.
