Synopsis

In a mining village in Xuzhou, a boy goes missing in an abandoned shaft. Taoist priest Ma Fugui locates him using a water-divination ritual. After the rescue, the opening of new coal mines unleashes local greed. Ma refuses to bless the mine, warning of danger, but the villagers prioritize financial profit over safety.
