Synopsis

My name is Chen Qingxuan. I was born in 1966. I was born with a pair of yin and yang eyes and have been able to see ghosts and gods since I was a child. In 1980, all my family members passed away, leaving me as an orphan boy. Fortunately, Mr. Yin Yang, an old man in the village, took me in, helped me through high school, and taught me the righteous method of reassuring souls and suppressing evil spirits. He left the army in 1983 and traveled alone in the north and south for twenty years, crossing the wild ghosts in the countryside, solving the grievances of the immortal family, destroying the old house and calming down the evil spirits in the river. In 2000, I accepted my only disciple Lin Nian'an, a pure Yin Gudao and a polar Yang Fuwa. The master and the disciple practiced Taoism together. Demolition and bone excavation, isolated graves in the community, online car-hailing services, internet celebrities seeking evil spirits, Guman's backlash, live broadcast collisions... The old-fashioned earth veins are evil, the Internet is man-made, and the strange things that have happened in the human world over the past forty years are all written in this memoir.

Reader comments

The most touching supernatural thing is the unfinished tenderness in the world
Different from the supernatural online novels on the market that focus on thrilling monsters and fighting monsters with exciting routines, the biggest highlight of this book is that all the supernatural plots are adapted from real folk anecdotes and local events. There are no suspended and fabricated mysterious settings, and they are rooted in reality and grounded in the heart. There are no evil ghosts or scary scenes in the book. All the dead souls stranded in the world are just ordinary people trapped in the years. The most touching thing is never the supernatural things, but the unpaid kindness, unfulfilled filial piety, and unfulfilled human regrets. The unknown young heroes in the Battle of Jinmen are the best portrayal of this. At the age of eighteen, he died in a national disaster and died on the battlefield with no name or monument. He only had a damaged military emblem to hold on to for half his life. He was not afraid of artillery fire and had no regrets for his country. He only cared about his mother at home and waited half his life for a belated bow and a belated apology. The core idea of this book is particularly gentle and healing: not to overcome the evil, but only to overcome the human heart; not to be afraid of ghosts and gods, only to have mercy on the ordinary. The protagonist's practice is never to become stronger and counterattack, but to have awe and compassion, to fulfill every regret that spans life and death, and to appease every sincere and pure soul of the dead. The campus fireworks of the 1980s, the vivid and three-dimensional group portraits, and the real and thick background of the era make the whole novel break away from the suspended feeling of supernatural Internet literature. Folk customs are not curious, and cause and effect are not deliberate. What is hidden under the strange appearance is the most sincere human love and redemption. Other supernatural stories are scary, but this book is moving. With the true past as the bones and the compassion of the world as the soul, it depicts the tragedy of the unknown heroes in troubled times, and also fulfills the concerns and tenderness of ordinary people for half their lives. The mountains and rivers are safe, the dead souls are at peace, the regrets are finally solved, and every year is perfect.
