Book Synopsis
In the autumn of the tenth year of the Republic of China, Li Zhongwen, the president of the Jinling Chamber of Commerce, died suddenly. His loyal servant, uncle Zhao, sought the help of Demonic Cultivator to summon the spirit of his master, only to uncover a shocking conspiracy. On the night of the wake, a blood moon hung in the sky, and the Seven Concubines shed their painted disguises to reveal their ghastly white bones. In the cellar, jars containing fetal remains and secret scrolls for extending life were discovered.
As the soul-restraining copper coin left by the Barefoot Monk came to light, a tragedy spanning over twenty years emerged—Li Mansion had been arranged using the corpses of seven Yangzhou Slim Horses to form a Seven Fiends Soul Locking Formation. When uncle Zhao delved into the Dark River in pursuit of the truth, he uncovered that Demonic Cultivator and Zhang Xuanzhen were colluding with military and political officials to manipulate the Dragon Vein through the Zhongshanling project. This revelation also unearthed his own forgotten Twin Souls and a Blood Oath from the first year of the Republic of China.
From the vengeful spirits of water bandits at the bottom of Qinhuai River to the sacrifice of a hundred thousand souls atop Purple Gold Mountain, this intricate game intertwining Taoist sorcery and political intrigue reached its conclusion under the blood moon. Only Seven Red Coffins sank into the Dragon Vein, while a Qipao figure reemerged in the shadows of the phoenix tree, heralding an unsettling final chapter that hinted at an unfinished cycle of reincarnation.
