"A corpse lamp burns the world, and four volumes of blood books measure the heart." In the fifteenth year of Lu'an, a box of longevity medicine was broken into pieces in the East China Sea, and there was no light in the world from then on. The teacher's bones were eaten away by corpse poison, and the living corpse was as numb as measured by the ruler; the general's disciple was trapped in a dilemma of loyalty, and the long sword tore through the blood scab of the dragon's robe; the old escort was lost in the truth, and the blade cut through the lies of the court and the public; the brothel girl looked back at the abyss, and her single eye illuminated the remnants of the human heart. The Japanese lamp burns the bones to make the core, and the Imperial City Dan furnace cooks the soul to make tea.
When the living corpse gnawed away the last piece of clean soil, the four chess pieces discovered that the hand holding the chess piece had already rotted under the chessboard.
"You say you measure the world, I will measure you with a ruler."
"The country you want to defend has long been eaten into pieces."

The plot is very tight and confusing, and I finished reading it before I knew it!
