Strange Things in the Jiuwu Pavilion

Chinese folklore horror + strange stories about rules + brain-burning battles of wits + long-term foreshadowing The night after the Lin family was exterminated, seventeen people were sitting in the hall. The candles were still on and the tea was still warm. There were no stab wounds or poisoning. The death was eerily peaceful. Lin Yan, a young man, bears the stigma of destroying his family and guards this century-old artifact pavilion alone that no one dares to approach. He gradually discovered that every old thing in the pavilion was eating away at the obsessions of living people, and he specifically targeted the softest places in your heart: the Baina box that would carve the person you miss the most and tempt you to take the initiative to open the seal; the Yin-Yang bracelet that could ward off evil spirits but would quietly bite the owner; the ancient bronze bell that locked in resentment for five hundred years... He originally thought that he was the last guardian of the Lin family. It was not until the stone gate of the forbidden area suddenly opened that he discovered the first fatal lie: His second uncle, who loves him the most, can set foot in forbidden areas that only his direct bloodline can enter; The guard who had been dead for a year returned from hell with a black iron sword; And the family extermination case that he had hated for a whole year was not the end at all. It was a sacrificial ceremony written five hundred years ago. The scattered nine-chip plan hides the truth, and the cracks in the bagna box are getting bigger and bigger. Holding the ancestral carving knife, he works step by step amid conspiracy and obsession: repairing an old thing and uncovering a bloody past; getting closer to the truth and falling into a dragnet that has been woven for five hundred years. When all his trust was shattered into powder, he was shocked to realize: The people who guard the pavilion never guard old things, but the last boundary between yin and yang in the world. And he is not only the only person to break the situation, but also the sacrifice that Wanhunsha has been waiting for for five hundred years.
