Summary

Zhong Zhengnan was raised on the milk of many households. Twenty years ago, on the sixth day of the sixth month, his mad father, Zhong Qingshan, took a knife and cut open his mother's belly, claiming she carried a demon child; he was subsequently committed to a mental hospital. Twenty years later, Zhong Qingshan returns home in glory, bringing a beautiful woman to tear down the old house and rebuild, and orders snakes dug out. Zhong Zhengnan dreams of his mother transformed into a snake pleading for help, and learns that his mother may be a snake spirit and that Zhong Qingshan regards both her and the snakes in the cave as evils to be destroyed. To save his mother, he begins using the feng shui arts left by his grandfather to contend with his father, getting drawn into a series of uncanny events—a hundred ghosts entering the village, the Association of the Dead—and ultimately into deeper conspiracies involving the Soul-Summoning Banner and the mountain sprite.

Editor's review

Grounded in rural feng shui and the supernatural, the book opens with a gripping hook—a father killing the mother and a snake spirit appearing in a dream—interweaving folk horror with father-son enmity for a tight, thrilling read. The author's narrative is plain and direct, with a fast pace, suited to readers who enjoy folk oddities and feng shui lore. Its weaknesses are rough prose, plots that sometimes rely on coincidence, somewhat thin characterization, and a rushed ending; readers who value refined writing may find it unsatisfying.
