Fox Wife from Mountain Village. The film focuses on the vertical theme of Northeast folk supernatural stories with a strong Northeast folk atmosphere.

even though the story begins with wu xie and xiao ge, but i like where xiao hua meets hei yanjing, and their interaction is interesting also.

It’s a simple, fun and well executed short side story. Most of the characters have valid motivations that justify the risks they are taking. The visuals were surprisingly good. After seeing quite a few tomb dramas/movies I am honestly not sure, but I think the wacky fighting scenes are wacky and questionable on purpose - this seems like a stylistic choice and not the lack of effort on the production team side.
