A decadent swordsman named A Jing took shelter from the rain in a teahouse in Lin'an, Jiangnan. Storyteller Liu Laoyi's story about the Jinghong Escort murder case ten years ago unexpectedly revealed A Jing's dusty past. It turns out that he is Lin Jinghong, the only survivor in the murder and the son of Lin Xiaotian, the head of the escort agency. At that time, he witnessed his father and thirty-six bodyguards being massacred by a group of faceless men wearing bronze masks, and the bodyguard's "Mountains and Rivers Sheji Map" was robbed.
