第一章 人面鸟 

Human-faced bird

Shamans, those who perform intangible arts, please the gods through dance. They communicate with heaven and earth, worship ancestors, divine good and bad fortune, and ward off evil spirits. With the rise of Taoism and the flourishing of immortality, shamanism was condemned as a heretical path and gradually declined. Now, the path to immortality is severed, but a chart of the Twenty-Eight Constellations has appeared in Xiao Mengke's mind. By practicing unorthodox arts and illuminating the chart, he can enhance his comprehension and increase his cultivation. Spirit writing, raising Gu poison, the Yu Step, face reading, feng shui, curses, summoning souls, nightmares, warding off disasters... with this unorthodox shamanism, I will prove my immortality.

巫觋，能事无形，以舞悦神者也。沟通天地，祭祀先祖，卜筮吉凶，辟邪驱鬼。道门崛起，仙道大兴，巫术遭斥为左道，渐趋式微。而今仙路断绝，萧梦客心神中却现二十八星宿图，修习旁门杂术，点亮星图，便可提升悟性，增长修为。扶乩、养蛊、禹步、相面、风水、厌胜、招魂、魇魅、禳灾……就以此左道巫术，证我长生。
