The Greatest Daoist Magic

In the early years of the Republic of China (1912 to the 1920s), warlords carved up the country and the people lived in misery. Western ideas poured in, shaking traditional culture, while supernatural incidents grew frequent and demons and monsters ran rampant. Renjia Town in Guangdong lay in Lingnan, with the Hundred Thousand Mountains behind it and a tributary of the Pearl River in front. It was a typical ancient town in southern China. Its population was about three thousand, and people made their living through farming and trade. Villages dotted the surrounding countryside.
