The Demonic Record of the Human World

In the nine states of the world, immortals sit high and demons stalk. People all over the world say that cultivating immortality is for immortality. Chen Guan originally thought so too. He was an undocumented Taoist boy from the border area of ​​Qingzhou. He followed his master who was greedy for money and fearful of trouble, and made a living by painting talismans, attending funerals, and exorcising evil spirits. Until one time when he was slaying a demon in a mountain village, he used an old copper coin to reveal the truth: Fox monsters may not harm people, and ancestors may not protect them. The faceless corpse kneeling at the entrance of the village, the cold rice served in the ancestral hall, and the children knocking on the door in the middle of the night all point to an old incident that has been hidden by the whole village for ten years. From then on, Chen Guan was expelled from the Taoist temple and lived in the world. He has seen immortal sects refining people to seek elixirs, Buddhist sects sending people to jail, and the imperial court borrowing the luck of all people to extend their lives. He has also seen demons keep their promises, ghosts repay favors, and small people struggling to survive in troubled times. He saw monsters all the way, and he also saw people all the way. Later someone asked him: "What path do you practice?" Chen Guan thought for a while and said with a smile: "The immortals said that I am not worthy of cultivating immortality, and the demons said that I do not look like a good person." "Then I have no choice but to cultivate my own path in the human world."
