Twenty Years of Slaying Demons

A new work by Nanwu Jiasha Likefo, author of the "Miaojiang Trilogy."

"A person made into something false becomes a demon; a thing endowed with nature and spirit becomes a sprite; a human soul that refuses to disperse becomes a ghost. When the qi of Heaven and Earth goes awry, anything unusual that suddenly appears becomes a monster. An unrighteous spirit becomes an evil; a deluded human heart becomes a devil; and those who stray toward heresy become followers of the heretical path."

Hou Mo, a young man who has drifted south, discovers during a strange incident in 1998 that he carries the bloodline of a nightwalker, and a highly unusual one at that: the "Numinous Stone Monkey." This bloodline is cursed by Heaven, with a genetic flaw that means its bearer cannot live past thirty. To survive, he has no choice but to enter an unheard-of world of jianghu and fight desperately to stay alive.
