Fu Qingsu runs an incense shop and has always been mysterious and alluring.
In reality, Fu Qingsu is a ferryman for the Underworld, tasked with guiding ghosts tormented by lingering obsession...

The man could clearly see that Fu Qingsu didn't want to say more, but he pretended not to see it and still asked him the questions he wanted to know. Unfortunately, Fu Qingsu just didn't answer the questions he asked.
The man was a little discouraged. "Thank you so much, ladies, for saving me. I can never repay you for your kindness."
The man bowed to the two of them.
The man told Fu Qingsu that his surname was Yang and his name was Yang Mingyu.
Fu Ayue felt a little sorry for the man and was about to speak when Fu Qingsu called her out.
"Ayue, Young Master Yang just woke up. What he needs most now is a good rest. Let's go out and let Young Master Yang have a good rest."
He pulled Fu A Yue out.
Not far from Yang Mingyu's room, Fu Qingsu said with a serious expression, "Ayue, what's wrong with you? Have you forgotten what the high priest told you?"
"I, I haven't forgotten, I just think you were too harsh on Young Master Yang."
Fu Ayue did not forget that the high priest asked them to take good care of the man and not to say anything else.
She thought Yang Mingyu didn't look like a bad person, but Jiang Yiwei was very cruel to Yang Mingyu.
Fu Qingsu was worried about Ah Yue, so he warned her, "You must remember what the high priest said. Once the man recovers, he must be sent out of the valley immediately. Don't say anything else."
"I know. Anyway, if Young Master Yang asks about our clan, I will say that we are ordinary villagers living in seclusion in the valley."
Fu Ayue and Fu Qingsu made the promise.
After repeatedly reminding and confirming that Fu Ayue had heard it, Fu Qingsu left with peace of mind. Fu Qingsu had other things to do, so he could only let Fu Ayue take care of Yang Mingyu.
Worried that Fu Ayue couldn't handle it, he asked Fu Mengqi and Fu Ayue to take care of her together.
What Fu Qingsu didn't know was that Yang Mingyu saw that Fu Ayue had feelings for him, and Yang Mingyu had to take advantage of Fu Ayue's love for him.
Although Fu Ayue admired Yang Mingyu and remembered what Fu Qingsu had told her, whenever Yang Mingyu asked about the clan's affairs and Fu Qingsu's identity, Fu Ayue would say that it was nothing, just an ordinary village and Fu Qingsu was an ordinary villager.
Yang Mingyu didn't believe it at all.
The purpose of his coming here was to find the Wuling tribe, and it happened that theirs was the only village in this valley. Yang Mingyu didn't believe it was just a coincidence. They were just villagers living in this ordinary village.
Yang Mingyu confessed his feelings to Fu Ayue directly and even appealed to her emotions.
It turns out that Yang Mingyu is not an ordinary rich young man, but the prince of the Qin Kingdom's palace.
The reason they came to the valley this time was that there had been no rain in Qin State for one or two years. All the rivers and wells in Qin State had dried up, and many people died of thirst because they had no drinking water.
There were even many people dying of starvation and thirst because there was no water to irrigate the crops.
The Qin Kingdom held many rain-praying ceremonies, but not a drop of rain fell from the sky.
Then, someone remembered a legend from more than three hundred years ago.
Legend has it that more than 300 years ago, there was a witch tribe called Wuling in the Qin Kingdom. The witches of this tribe could communicate with gods. The god they believed in was the rain god. Whenever people prayed for rain, they would ask the witches of the Wuling tribe to pray to the gods for rain.
More than three hundred years ago, the Wuling clan moved away, and no one knew where they went.
For the sake of the people of Qin State, Yang Mingyu consulted many people and read many books, and roughly knew where the Wuling clan was.
Although he knew it, it had been so many years and Yang Mingyu was not sure whether the Wuling clan was still here.
Yang Mingyu immediately called people and found this place together, but an accident happened on the way. Yang Mingyu fell off a cliff and was drifted here by the river.
He believed that Fu Ayue and Fu Qingsu were the Wuling clan he was looking for.
"Ayue, I know you are from the Wuling clan. Many people in Qin Country have died because of two consecutive years of severe drought."
"I know that your Wuling clan has always served the Rain God. Your witches can pray to the Rain God for rain. Please help the people of Qin Kingdom."
Fu Ayue never thought it would be so serious.
She also remembered Fu Qingsu's words that she must not tell Yang Mingyu that they were from the Wuling tribe, because Yang Mingyu was the person she liked. Moreover, if the people of Qin Kingdom really died because they had no water to drink as Yang Mingyu said, it would be so pitiful.
Yang Mingyu knew that Fu Ayue was wavering.
He continued to lobby Fu A Yue.
In the end, Fu A Yue softened her heart and admitted to Yang Mingyu that they were indeed from the Wu Ling clan.
"We are indeed the Wuling clan."
Yang Mingyu immediately grabbed Fu Ayue's hand and begged her to pray to the Rain God for rain. "Ayu, can you pray to the Rain God for rain to fall heavily on Qin Kingdom?"
Fu Ayue shook her head and explained, "I'm not a witch. I don't have the power to pray to the rain god for rain."
Fu Ayue is not a witch and cannot pray for rain.
"However, I will help you intercede with Qingsu. Qingsu is a witch and has supernatural powers."
Fu Ayue is not a witch, Fu Qingsu is. Fu Ayue and Fu Qingsu have been playmates since childhood. She made it clear to Fu Qingsu, and Fu Qingsu would definitely be able to help Yang Mingyu.
Fu Qingsu.
Yang Mingyu didn't expect that Fu Qingsu was actually the witch.
Thinking of Fu Qingsu's cold look, Yang Mingyu felt a little worried, because Fu Qingsu obviously hoped that his injuries would heal quickly so that he could leave the Wuling tribe as soon as possible.
Would Fu Qingsu really be willing to help him pray for rain?
Fu Ayue saw Yang Mingyu's doubts and reassured him, "Mingyu, Qingsu is a good person. If she knew that the people of Qin Country were dying because they had no water to drink, she would not stand by and watch them die."
"Then I'll leave Ah Yue to you."
Now he can only ask Fu A Yue to help him.
Because Yang Mingyu knew that if he asked in person, Fu Qingsu would not listen at all and would ask him to leave directly. He could not leave. He came here to pray for rain and he wanted to save the people of Qin State.
So Fu Ayue took Yang Mingyu to find Fu Qingsu, but Fu Qingsu did not give Yang Mingyu a chance to speak.
Because Yang Mingyu's injuries have almost healed, he can now be sent out of the valley.
Yang Mingyu and Fu Ayue's expressions suddenly changed.
It was Yang Mingyu who first asked Fu Qingsu for help.
After listening to what Yang Mingyu said about Qin State, Fu Qingsu was unable to make up his mind for a moment.
She was concerned about the common people who had no drinking water due to the drought.
"Qingsu, we have always served the Rain God. Praying for rain is our clan's responsibility. It would have been fine if we didn't know, but now we all know that there are a group of people in Qin Country waiting for us to save them?"
Fu Ayue carefully looked at Fu Qingsu's expression.
Afraid that Fu Qingsu would not be willing to help Yang Mingyu.
Yang Mingyu thought Fu Qingsu was unwilling to help him, so he knelt down in front of Fu Qingsu.
"Miss Qingsu, the more than five million people of Qin Country all rely on your help, Miss Fu."
The lives of more than five million people in their Qin country depend on Fu Qingsu.
Fu Qingsu leaned to the left and said, "I don't need you to kneel to me."
"I don't know whether what you said is true or false."
The Wuling clan did not know what was happening in the outside world. He was a stranger to them, and they did not know whether he was good or bad. What if he lied?
"Miss Fu, I swear to heaven that if what I say is false, I will be struck by lightning and die a miserable death."
For the sake of the people of Qin State, Yang Mingyu can swear a solemn oath.
"You don't need to swear an oath. I'll try it myself."
Fu Qingsu put his hand on Yang Mingyu's chest and closed his eyes. When Yang Mingyu was wondering what Fu Qingsu was going to do, he saw the hand pressing on his chest emitting a white light, which shocked Yang Mingyu.
Sure enough, the rumors were true.
Thinking of this, Yang Mingyu smiled. Their Qin country was saved.
After a long time, Fu Qingsu opened his eyes, withdrew his hand, and his eyes were deep.
Because what Yang Mingyu said was true, she saw that the people of Qin State died because they had no water to drink and they also drank blood.
"Whether I can help you pray for rain or not, I need to discuss it with the high priest first."
There were more than five million people, and Fu Qingsu certainly couldn't bear to watch them die.
But she is a witch of the Wuling tribe, and she has to consider the interests of the entire tribe.
Fu Qingsu took Yang Mingyu to find the high priest. After hearing what they said, the high priest fell silent.
The high priest asked Fu Ayue and Yang Mingyu to go out first, as he had something to say to Fu Qingsu.
Although they both felt it was strange, Fu Ayue and Yang Mingyu went out first. But before leaving, Yang Mingyu looked deeply at Fu Qingsu and the high priest several times, worried that the high priest would not be willing to let Fu Qingsu go with him to pray for rain.
Yang Mingyu knows martial arts, but Fu Qingsu has supernatural powers. Yang Mingyu is no match for Fu Qingsu at all.
After they left, Fu Qingsu spoke, "High Priest, you don't want me to go."
Fu Qingsu thought that the high priest didn't want her to help pray for rain.
The high priest shook his head and said, "No, I plan to let you go."
The high priest did not think of stopping Fu Qingsu. More than five million people, those were their lives. How could the high priest watch the people of Qin die?
"Before you brought Yang Mingyu here, I started to tell fortunes, but I can't interpret the hexagram. I can't tell whether it is good or bad."
This was the first time the high priest had seen such a divination.
If Fu Qingsu and Yang Mingyu went, the high priest could not tell whether it would be dangerous or safe.
It didn't look dangerous, and there were even hexagrams that even the high priest couldn't see.
"High Priest, what is your opinion?"
"I won't stop you, nor will I force you." The high priest would not force Fu Qingsu.
"I can't just ignore it, High Priest. I choose to go, no matter what the outcome is."
Even though she didn't know what the future held, Fu Qingsu couldn't ignore it. She chose to go, regardless of life or death.
"Good boy, this is the witch of my Wuling clan." The high priest looked at Fu Qingsu with admiration.
Not afraid of life or death, this is what a witch from their Wuling clan should be like.
With the permission of the high priest, Fu Qingsu hurriedly told Yang Mingyu and Fu Ayue the good news. They were naturally very happy to hear it. Yang Mingyu even hoped that Fu Qingsu would set off with him to Qin State as soon as possible. It had not rained in Qin State for nearly two years. The sooner they went there, the more people they could save.
On this point, Fu Qingsu agreed.
She also wanted to save people as soon as possible.
Therefore, Fu Qingsu and Yang Mingyu set off again two days later, and when they left, Fu Ayue followed them.
