The Supernatural Workday of Lu Ban the Carpenter

Who gets it? A renovation worker's fate is half in the hands of the client and half buried in sinister soil. A Mu, an ordinary carpenter on a construction site, possesses Lu Ban's long-lost secret arts. He takes his crew to renovate an old office building. Nobody knows that beneath the decrepit structure lies an earth-vein seal holding back a danger capable of bringing down an entire city. An elevator that starts moving by itself at midnight, sinister timber steeped in ill fortune: one strange event follows another. A renegade of the Lu Ban tradition lurks in the shadows, striking at every turn. He swaps out building materials and tampers with the formation's heart, hoping to use the earth vein's baleful energy to break the seal and seize the damaged ink compass tainted by evil. Workplace troubles pile up: a difficult client keeps demanding revisions, a crooked supplier deliberately withholds materials, and the inspector finds fault with everything. Meanwhile, deadly threats lurk in the dark: sinister spirits launch surprise attacks, while kidnappings and ambushes draw ever closer. Wang Lei, who loves acting tough; Wanqing, gentle and naive; Xiaolin, honest but clumsy; and Old Lu, a man with hidden depths. This oddball crew struggles through unpaid overtime and being made to take the blame and redo their work, all while trapped in the villains' deadly plot and pushed to the brink. A wrench becomes a deadly weapon, dragon bones forge a demon-quelling formation, and the ink compass determines the balance between life and death, yin and yang! To protect the everyday warmth of the human world and reclaim the compass, these ordinary renovation workers defy the odds, break through layer upon layer of traps, and awaken the ink compass's ultimate power, pitting their mortal flesh against overwhelming evil. Hilarious construction-site banter meets hard-core supernatural team battles. Everyone is sharp, with no characters suddenly losing their wits and no stale, contrived tropes. The secret arts of Lu Ban were never meant to be instruments of slaughter, but a way for ordinary people to protect others. Renovation isn't just about stacking bricks and tiles, it's about safeguarding everyday life. Watch these craftsmen take on a thrilling final battle!
