Mountains and Seas

Lin Xiao is a down-and-out descendant of Maoshan. He barely makes a living by painting talismans to control the house, doing exorcisms, and doing dirty work. He is so poor that even ghosts think he is shabby. During an exorcism in a haunted house, he accidentally awakened the "Fragment of Mountains and Seas" sleeping in his body, and was involved in a series of strange murders and urban underworld. The patients who lost their souls, the children who disappeared, the mysterious lists that were dismantled and hidden, the evil organizations hidden behind modern hospitals and abandoned old factories... On the surface, this was a small case of catching ghosts and exorcising demons; but as the clues continued to deepen, Lin Xiao gradually discovered that the end of all the cases actually pointed to the real cause of death of his parents, and the secret of his bloodline that did not belong to mortals. The mountain and sea system can help him upgrade, and Taoist magic can help him stand up. Using talismans to suppress evil, Bu Gang to fight, Qimen timing, and thunder to slay evil, coupled with the Merit Mall, the summoning of strange beasts, and the awakening of bloodline, Lin Xiao step by step went from a poor Taoist priest who just wanted to survive to the master of the mountains and seas who can single-handedly control the treacherous situation. But he quickly understood that the most difficult thing to break in the world was not just ghosts and monsters, but also the evil hidden in people's hearts. This is a passionate and exciting novel that interweaves urban Taoism, mountain and sea weirdness, system upgrades, and suspenseful crime solving. The upgrades are logical, the Taoism has a foundation, the conspiracies are connected layer by layer, and the main line points directly to the larger shady plot and the ultimate truth.
