"When the bronze mirror reflects the 13th you, which one is the real one?
The bronze mirror "Xuanjian" salvaged from a shipwreck in the Ming Dynasty led Lin Shen into the fatal trap of the mirror world. The reflection in the mirror wanders away from the body, the same figure as himself appears on the eaves of the Forbidden City, and the bronze vessels in the restoration room secrete mucus on a moonlit night - all clues point to the thousand-year underground palace deep in the Qinling Mountains.
Antique dealer Chen Jiuye came to the door with a blood-stained silk book. The oracle bone inscriptions on the silk book predicted that the two would meet: "The two pupils will be opened, the nine nights will be exhausted, the Xuanjian will be cracked, and the human world will be transformed into figurines." "Their genetic sequences actually match perfectly with the corpses in the bronze sacred tree of the ancient Shu Kingdom.
In order to solve the dilemma, the two were forced to join forces:
- Travel through Xiangxi's corpse-catching inn, and find yourself the only one alive among the twenty-eight rotting corpses with talismans on their foreheads;
- Sneak into the Lop Nur Mirror City and start a life-and-death competition with overseas cultural relics groups, scientific research madmen, and underground palace tombkeepers;
- Face to face the ultimate secret of bronze civilization - ancient ancestors cast the rifts in time and space into mirrors, and everyone who comes into contact becomes a "human pillar" that maintains reality.
When Chen Jiuye discovered that he was a clone and Lin Shen witnessed the mirror body killing the original body and replacing it, they had to answer:
"If reality is destined to collapse, will you choose to be a sober prisoner or a perfect fake? "
In this game-within-a-game that spans thousands of years, the game between the five forces and the fatal choices of the two heroines (archaeologist Su Tang and mysticist Ye Chan) ultimately point to the shocking truth——
"The so-called immortality is nothing more than forging the soul into rust on bronze. "
