An emerald hairpin broken into seven pieces connects the bloodstains of the mountains and rivers for five hundred years.
On a snowy night during the Jiajing period, when the thief saint Yan Jiuxiao swallowed the secret elixir of Dongchang, the first wisp of white hair on his temples was reflected in the bronze mirror of Liulichang Ghost Market. The golden needle of Qingluan, the young master of Yaowang Valley, pricked the blood in his wrist, only then did he realize that the so-called immortality was actually a poisonous curse that can destroy the heart of the one he loves most.
Amidst the whistle of the Huangpu River, Yan Jiuge shook his whiskey glass and watched the neon on the Paramount dance floor dye Su Wanqing's sleeves red. Under the scalpel of female forensic doctor Bai Lu, the traitor's heart was tattooed with the Yongling Star Map, and mycelium grew wildly in the moonlight of the Republic of China into a prophecy of the Jiajing Year.
On a rainy night at the top of the Peak, restorer Shen Nanxing pieced together the fragments of the jade garment, and a map of the Mohist organization was revealed under X-rays. When Interpol Qin Zhao's gun was pressed against Yan Jiu's heart, the glazed tiles of the Forbidden City and the glass bottles of Paramount were reflected in the waves of Victoria Harbor.
From the bronze compass flooded by the black water of the prison, to the yin and yang account books hidden in the clock tower on the Bund, to the quantum keys circulating on the dark web, the old enemy who always carved "I will cook wine in five hundred years" on the coffin turned out to be the same evil tree growing out of the cracks in the mountains and rivers.
The jade is broken three times:
One piece was broken into pieces at the execution ground where Qingluan swallowed the fake death potion,
The two were broken into pieces in the church where Bailu was draped in a bloody wedding dress,
In the year of his third death, Shen Nanxing saw his past life features in the fragments of jade clothes.
Mountains and rivers are questions:
When Yan Jiu gathered all the blood-stained hairpin blades, a line of cinnabar instructions appeared on the bronze door of the underground palace——
"It would be better for the jade to shatter the mountains and rivers than to borrow immortality from time."
