Mo Dao Huai

In the autumn of the seventeenth year of the Republic of China, a strange thing happened in Qingshi Town, western Hunan. Old Liu Tou, who was working on watch, passed by the Earth Temple in the east of Zhendong in the middle of the night and heard the sound of knife sharpening coming from under the locust tree. He walked closer to check, and a squatting man under the tree turned around - the face was exactly the same as his own. This isn't the first time something like this has happened in town. The town annals record: Since the 23rd year of Daoguang's reign, things from the locust tree have come out every few years. Anyone who sees "that face" will die within three days. When he died, his entire face was dry and peeling off, as if it had been cut with a knife. Twenty years ago, a Maoshan Taoist priest passed by this place and sealed the tree hole with three talismans, thus ensuring peace for twenty years. Now that the seal has failed, spots have begun to appear on Old Liu's face. And that Taoist priest's disciple - a wandering Taoist priest in his early twenties with mediocre cultivation - happened to pass by Qingshi Town at this time. His name is Chen Xiaoan.
