Maoshan Erotic Arts
Young Taoist priest Zhou Yuan is a disciple of a minor branch of the Maoshan sect. A routine commission to resolve 'ancestral grave backlash' drags him into a taboo sealed by his sect for twenty years. He Rui, daughter of a wealthy merchant, has parents in a coma. Zhou Yuan uses a virgin's blood as a medium to dispel yin qi, but on his night journey, he encounters a hopping corpse, a bride ghost with a red veil, and his fellow sect senior Qing Ni, sealed inside the He family ancestral tomb. The cruel truth: twenty years ago, the master practiced a forbidden dual cultivation technique with Qing Ni to extend his life, but it backfired. After the master's death, Qing Ni refused to sit idle. She hollowed out the He family tomb, placed herself in a coffin, and waited for descendants to open it, draining men's vital essence to achieve liberation and become a ghost immortal. Meanwhile, the other veiled bride ghost also covets Zhou Yuan's yang essence. The sect's lewd arts backfire on its own disciples; former allies turn against each other, and both the living and the dead seek to drain his essence. Zhou Yuan can only ally with He Rui, barely holding on with unorthodox arts, a hopping corpse, and his remaining cultivation, seeking a slim chance between being drained dry and fighting back. This is a tale of sectarian bloodshed triggered by a forbidden dual cultivation technique—a strangely beautiful story of desire, survival, and retribution.
