Introduction
In Shensha Town outside Yanmen Pass, a broken sword covered in black croaker made Xie Yan wait for three years.
When Duanhun Cliff fell off the cliff three years ago, he thought that Shen Yanzhi had been buried in the belly of a wolf long ago, until the jade plaque with "Tongchen" engraved on it and the note with the broken sword drawn on it were handed to him - the man who had put a sword to his throat to ask about the whereabouts of "Han Feng Pu", but who backhand shattered his own sword to protect him when the poison dart attacked, was still alive.
We met again in the snowy old mill. Shen Yan's temples were stained with frost and his sleeves were bleeding. Behind him was the Tang Sect's pursuit, and in front of him was a half-volume of fragments of music that hid old enemies and secrets. He asked Xie Yan to break into Yanmen Pass with wood chips to deliver the message, while he diverted the pursuers to find the medicine to detoxify the dart poison. "See you in the medicine valley" became a new agreement.
But the guard at Yanmen Pass has an ambiguous attitude, and the Tang Sect killer follows him everywhere. The bloodstains on Shen Yanzhi's cough in the snow seem to hide a conspiracy that is deeper than old hatred. Xie Yan grasped the broken sword that was warmed by his body temperature and understood: On this journey to find people outside the customs, what he is looking for is never the old person, but the bond hidden in the sword marks and the fragrance of medicine, which cannot be broken even by life and death.
Reader comments
The clue design of this ancient-style detective novel with two male protagonists is amazing! Taking the lost sword manual as a guide, the book begins with "the power of the sword manual and the secret of jade." The sword manual is not only the trigger of the disputes in the world, but its incomplete sword moves also coincide with the committing methods of each murder. Every time the protagonist deduce clues from the moves, people are amazed. The gentle Yu Jue is like a hidden "key", and the fragments are circulated in the hands of all parties. On the surface, it is a family keepsake, but in fact it is deeply involved, forming a virtual and real echo with the sword manual. One of the two male protagonists holds a jade pendant to trace the origins of the crime, while the other uses a sword to unravel the murderous situation. In the intertwining of swords and power schemes, they uncover not only an old murder case, but also the truth buried by history. The only pity is that the relationship between Yu Jue and the sword manual was a little hasty in the later stage. If there can be more foreshadowing, the closed loop feeling of the whole story will be more perfect!
