Li Xuan was born with white hair. Jiang Tianfeng, head of the Northern Emperor Sect of the Ma Yi School, found him in a cemetery and raised him for eighteen years. They were master and disciple, but more like father and son. Before setting off on a long journey, his master left him these final words: if I haven't returned in ten days, go to Misty Mountain City and take over a funeral shop. On the eleventh day, Li Xuan steps into the gloomy shop, and supernatural incidents begin one after another. Haunted houses, shadowy merchants, spirit mediums, and heirs to the Lu Ban Manual are all drawn into the fray. As he helps people ward off calamities and dispel misfortune, he also investigates the truth behind his master's disappearance. A journey to the Northwest points to a power struggle within the underworld, while the century-old fate of the Ma Yi School, the "Four Prohibitions," awaits him to break it.
