In 996, Chen Zhuo, a cultural relic restorer who went blind until he was blind, was kicked out by his sinister boss.
When he was digging through the trash can on a rainy night, he picked up a rusty bronze goose fish lamp from the Warring States Period.
The moment the blood on the fingertip seeped into the inscription "Shou Zhuo" on the lamp body, a cold mechanical sound blasted in my mind:
[Cultural Artisan Soul System Binding! If the soul of 'Shou Zhuo' is detected, can it be integrated with the lifelong memory of Ou Yeyue, the swordsmith of the Warring States Period?
The next day, his eyes regained sight, and the moment he touched the fake bronze with his fingertips,
The patina of the Western Zhou Dynasty animal-mask-patterned tripod peeled off layer by layer in his eyes, revealing the poor modern welding marks underneath.
"Fake," Chen Zhuo pushed away the sky-high price at the auction house. "The solder joints are too new, and the acid-bitten old-fashioned technique is amateurish."
Amid the uproar in the audience, a mysterious phone call came into his elderly phone with only 38 yuan remaining:
"Mr. Chen, I have the real thing in my hands. Do you want to see the inscription rubbings?"
