The Knife-Seller: Exploring Tombs Across the World, Starting with the Nine Gates

Amid the vast sea of Chinese history, there is a mysterious profession:

The Knife-on-Credit vendor!

They appear unexpectedly on streets, in alleys, and at the edges of villages,

leaving behind a prophecy or displaying an extraordinary skill,

lending knives or helping people,

their movements elusive, like dragons glimpsed only in passing.

Legend has it that they are all descendants of Guiguzi. There is even a folk saying: "Jiang Ziya's schemes shape the world; the Knife-on-Credit vendor foretells the future with unerring certainty!"

Folk tales also say that these vendors can transcend the boundaries of time and space and travel among parallel worlds!
