When a chemistry teacher meets a Tang dynasty swordsman, a thrilling adventure spanning a thousand years begins. After a laboratory explosion, chemistry teacher Shen Zhibai accidentally transmigrates to the Tang dynasty and, through a twist of fate, rescues Xu Xingzhou, a swordsman wanted by the imperial court. Xu turns out to be the son of Xu Jingye, a general who raised an army against Wu Zetian. One is a sharp-tongued young man with a head full of modern science; the other, a cold and aloof swordsman. Forced to flee together, they set out on the run.
With his knowledge of chemistry, Shen Zhibai repeatedly comes up with ingenious tricks: he uses saltpeter to make ice and foil an attempt to attack them with fire, uses vinegar to counter a knockout drug and expose a shady inn, and even creates “advanced technology” like a bamboo-tube telescope and primitive gunpowder. Xu Xingzhou, meanwhile, is a peerless swordsman who can take on a hundred men alone. From the massacre of a salt merchant's family in Yangzhou to an imperial examination scandal, from the mysterious deaths of warhorses at the frontier to a crisis at a palace banquet, the two join forces to solve one mystery after another and gradually uncover a shocking conspiracy. Beneath the splendor of the Tang dynasty, dark currents run deep, and their choices will change the course of history…
A little confused, but okay.
The characters are vivid, humorous, and not at all cheesy; the plot is tense but refreshing. I believe you can see yourself reflected in this brotherhood. Keep it up!
It's a great watch, very exciting. I love watching this kind of simple brotherhood; it's not cheesy or greasy, and it's a little bit sweet.
