Don't Mess with the Coffin Seller

Long ago, the world was eroded by an unspeakable corruption. After the last Human Emperor severed the heavens from the earth, the ancient horrors left behind—indestructible, nameless, and beyond all reason—came to be known as the "Hui." Deep within Poshui Lane, in the southwest of Anping County, stands an old funeral shop with a weathered, half-missing plaque. No one knows when it first appeared or where it came from. What the townsfolk do know is this: when even seasoned cultivators fail to quell a vicious haunting, the shopkeeper of this humble establishment can suppress any malevolent spirit with nothing more than a single cypress coffin. From a wealthy young lady found hanging in her red bridal gown, to a resentful ancient jade that feeds on souls, to a courtesan hiding dangerous secrets within a scarlet mansion, and a gluttonous little girl roaming the alleys—beneath the warmth of everyday life, dark forces stir and multiply. Yet far more chilling than any of these is the bottomless old well behind the shop, where something far more terrifying than mere evil seems to lie sleeping in the depths.
