The Times Have Changed, Daoist Priest

A precious silver coin brought Yun Song into a tumultuous era of great change

Here, foreign powers wield their formidable warships and cannons, while warlord factions rise in conflict. The wealthy indulge in excess, and the common people are left homeless and displaced

Here, there are also monsters and evil spirits, the serpent immortal and the corpse of the flood dragon, living graves and jade of the dead, paper figures stealing lives and stone Buddhas buying fortune, old cats worshiping the moon at night, wild foxes robbing group coffins, the day-to-day activities of ghostly officials in ancient towns, the borrowing of paths by ghostly soldiers in the old capital, the old village appearing where the great river has dried up, and haunted houses scattered throughout the ten-mile foreign market, a temple of white bones hidden in a mass grave, and a nameless city frequently revealing millennia-old demons

Here, the treasure coins have two sides: one side is for the living, and the other is for the spirits. Similarly, the cloud pine also has two aspects: it is the Taoist priest in a robe, and it is the lonely soul, the evil spirit, the zombie, the malevolent Buddha, and the wild city god

This book is also titled "I Thought I Was a Taoist, but Turned Out to Be a Ghost"

You thought I was a ghost, but in fact, I am a multitude of ghosts
