Exorcism Begins with Corpse-Eating and Summoning Gods

Maoshan altars, human-skin lanterns, invocations of the gods.

Tongbei and Bagua martial arts, wind-borne curses and spirit-exorcising dances, four-faced plague wardens-wondrous occult arts that reach unseen into Heaven.

Nine tiers of hell, seven mountain ranges, alchemy, corpse-eating.

In this world of suffering and endurance, this evil age of the Five Defilements, all beings are lost in delusion. You and I are no exceptions.

Hello, everyone.

My name is Chen Ying. I excel at both scholarly and martial pursuits, and my looks are a solid ten out of ten-or at least nine.

I was born in the spring breeze and raised beneath the red flag. After an unnecessary but excruciating bout of growing pains, I became a wage slave for an unconventional religion.

My current goal in life is to discover the source of all laws in the universe and become a sage versed in the world's most arcane secret arts.

Our organization boasts a long history and an unbroken lineage. We specialize in civil engineering projects of all kinds. We once buried a one-eyed stone man in the Yellow River.

These days, our competitors will stoop to anything. They actually make ridiculous promises like guaranteeing you a place in Heaven just for converting-and throwing in succubi of every make and model. I rather miss the old-fashioned competition that shouted, "The Azure Heaven is dead!"

I very much hope to return to my original world. If you know a way back, or happen to be a beautiful girl, please contact me as soon as possible.
