EP73 Miaoli Nanzhuang Township | The Centipede Spirit

Episode 73 takes us into the mountain valley of Nanzhuang in Miaoli's eastern hills — a quiet Hakka village tucked between green ridges where the Zhonggang River flows past, and the famous Osmanthus Lane fills the air with sweet floral fragrance when the flowers bloom. We sip osmanthus brew — honey-preserved osmanthus blossoms diluted with ice water, delicate and floral — and eat Hakka mochi dusted in peanut flour, sticky and stretchy and perfect. The story: the spider spirits' secret ally turns out to be the most terrifying demon yet — the Hundred-Eye Monster, a centipede spirit who shoots blinding golden light from a hundred eyes simultaneously. Sun Wukong is helpless. The solution comes from the most unexpected source: a rooster.Location: Nanzhuang, MiaoliFood: Osmanthus Brew | Hakka Mochi
