In the vast world, rituals have collapsed and music has been ruined for thousands of years, the chain of "rules" is decaying, and chaos is about to eat away. Hundreds of sects of Taoism are fighting openly and secretly, evil spirits from outside the world are looming, the claws of the dormant "Floating World Demon Kingdom" are beginning to appear, and disasters have come to the human world.
In a plagued land on the border, Zhou Cimo, a young man in a back alley, has nothing but a half-volume of "Old Rites" covered in dust and a broken iron ruler. In the midst of the fireworks in the market, the crowing of cocks, and the robbers, he realized the essence of "rules" - only by obeying the rules can you break them.
A major disaster is approaching, and the county wants to perform evil sacrifices. The young man took a ruler as a pen, dipped his heart's fire into ink, and boldly carved "Three Questions" on the blue bricks of the ancestral hall. Every word is like thunder, actually arousing the "awe-inspiring energy" deep in the silent context. The faint light tears the night, and also alarms the eyes from above:
Cheng Zhiyuan, a great scholar who abandoned his academic career and lived in a deserted tomb, said with his hands that "children can be taught", but lamented that "the laws of nature will eventually bend the spine."
Yu Xuansu, a stern woman who has been locked in the isolated city for eight hundred years with her sword energy, lightly pointed her sword: "If the truth is strong enough, come and break my barrier!"
Deep in the White Deer Cave Academy, the figure standing on the pinnacle of morality cast an icy gaze.
The light in Zhou Cimo's heart never goes out. Even if you are like an earthworm, you still need to sharpen your edge. Carrying a broken ruler, he measured the devastated mountains and rivers step by step: discussing Taoism in his study, arguing with evil spirits; writing on the battlefield, and asking gods for advice.
This body is the ruler of ink, and this mind is the beacon fire. He wanted to write a blood-fire essay called "Peace" for the disordered people in this apocalyptic world where the rules are broken and the atmosphere is filled with monsters——
Use rules to establish your mind, use principles to break disasters, and use thousands of lamps to maintain peace for eternity.
