Due to an accident, Lin Yan traveled to another world, the Ming Dynasty.
This dynasty is completely different from the official history. The mundane world remains the same, and the country and the court remain unchanged. However, under night, demons and monsters run rampant in the world.
Ghosts are divided into strict levels: ghosts, wild ghosts, resentful ghosts, fierce ghosts, evil spirits, ghost generals, and ghost kings; mountain spirits, wood ghosts, water monsters, corpses, and all kinds of evil creatures are all over the mountains, rivers, and wilderness, causing trouble in the world.
The world's pattern is even more complicated.
The imperial court still has imperial guards, and an evil-suppressing department is established internally, which is responsible for the royal secret weapons and standard ghost talismans. It is responsible for suppressing yin evil, controlling Xuanmen evil cultivators, and maintaining the order of yin and yang.
There are many Taoist gates in the rivers and lakes, including Shushan, Maoshan, Longhushan and Kunlun. Five elements magic, talisman formations, thunder and magic, and strange skills are all in full bloom.
In addition, wandering ghost hunters, lone sorcerers, good and evil cultivators, and hidden strangers are all over the world. Good and evil are entangled, and grudges are difficult to resolve.
The protagonist Lin Yan, as a time traveler, went to Shushan to practice cultivation, but he was born with a spiritual barrier. The power of the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth is extremely weak. He has shortcomings in close combat and attacking enemies with the five elements. He is an alien in the eyes of his peers.
But his talent for mental deduction is rare in the world. He is proficient in strange formations and cinnabar talismans. He can lock the underworld by setting up formations and suppress evil spirits by drawing talismans. He does not rely on the brute force of the five elements, but only relies on the formation talismans to control Yin and Yang.
Temple forces, Taoist sects, jianghu sects, ghosts and demons all appear one after another. In the Ming Dynasty where ghosts are rampant, this Shushan disciple who is weak in the five elements and specializes in formation talismans will walk through the world step by step, uncover the secrets of the underworld, explore and cross the destiny, and guard the lights of the world with a paper talisman and an formation.
