The true scriptures have no words, but the human heart is full of demons.
When the Eighty-One Tribulations become eighty-one bloody murders, the journey to obtain the scriptures becomes a quest to uncover bones and catch killers!
◆ Xuanzang leaves the monastery to avenge his mother!
His mother dies suddenly at Hongfu Temple, leaving behind a foreign bronze token. A mark around her neck is fine as a strand of hair, and an examination of her stomach reveals a deadly poison from the Western Regions. This was no accident, but a meticulously planned murder targeting the “embroiderer”! Chen Jiangliu, a monk who has left the clergy, tears away the Buddhist facade of compassion. With toxicology as his blade and logic as his sword, he ventures alone into the labyrinth of the Western Regions.
◆ A four-person detective team, all with villainous pasts!
- Sun Wukong: An abandoned child from Flower-Fruit Mountain, raised by a troop of monkeys. This feral youth moves like a phantom across rooftops and understands the language of beasts, but not the treachery in people's hearts.
- Zhu Yuanxiong: The former marshal of the Wusizang Kingdom, framed for corruption. He can lift a massive cauldron, is skilled with explosives, and is quick-tempered, yet values loyalty above all.
- Sha Buzheng: A convict sentenced to hard labor on the Flowing Sand River. Once a great general of the Yanqi Kingdom, he can hold his breath underwater for fifteen minutes. Burdened by an injustice involving a sunken ship, he is as silent as iron.
◆ Eighty-one cases, each one a wound to the heart!
“There are no demons in this world, only human hearts more venomous than demons.”
Hard-boiled mysteries × political intrigue × strange tales of the Western Regions
What if Journey to the West became The Great Song Justice Bureau meets Chang'an's Twelve Hours?
Every tribulation is a murder case, and every ordeal conceals a secret.
“Those true scriptures you seek, dare you turn to the page written in blood?”
The blurb can't do it justice! Head to the main story for the explosive plot!
