The Haunted Shrine

Thirty years ago, Wei Xu's birth mother set up a life-borrowing curse formation, drugged him, and stole years from his life. From that day on, he was plagued by ghost talismans, and when his allotted time in the mortal world ran out, he was destined for the grave. His accumulated merit was complete, allowing him to defy Heaven's laws and regain his divine position. But the ghost talismans had left his soul incomplete. Only the Blood Charm Flower on Ghost Soul Mountain could restore the missing fragment. The search for the flower was long. Someone concealed their identity and accompanied him along the way. Wei Xu had no idea that his constant companion was Xie Wu, a demon from the ghost realm. Along the way, they encountered all manner of demons and spirits and unraveled one mystery after another. Little did they know that this journey in search of the flower had been a trap carefully laid by Li Mei from the very beginning. When the group finally reached the summit of Ghost Soul Mountain, Wei Xu came face-to-face with his long-deceased birth mother, Li Mei. Once the clouds cleared, the truth was laid bare. Only then did he realize that his arduous journey over a thousand miles in search of the flower had been a complete deception from start to finish.
