How long does it take to restore an artifact? An ordinary master would need three years, and Gu Ci would need to "die" a hundred times.
As a former archaeological genius and now the invisible legend of Liulichang, Gu Ci possesses an unknown secret: he can physically travel to the historical node of his birth by touching cultural relics. In that cruel past, he was a dead soldier of the Tang army who charged to death time and time again, a mute craftsman of the Han Dynasty who had his throat filled with lead, and a kiln slave of the Song Dynasty who could be beheaded at any time. But he has the only trump card - [entry lock].
Death is not the end, but the beginning of becoming stronger. Every time he dies and looks back, he can bring back a heaven-defying magical skill from history: use [Moist Bones] to predict the time of day and burn the peerless Ru Kiln Azure; use [Mud Lungs] to sense fluids and lock the course of the Ming Dynasty's sealing boat in the deep sea; use [Delay of the Dead] to still wield the sword that cuts off the commander's flag after his heart is broken.
Back to reality, he is the only hand of God who can repair "terminal disease" cultural relics, and he is also the academic judge who slaps pseudo-experts in the face. Facing the blockade of capital and the frame-up of his mentor, Gu Ci dripped blood into the compass, with a crazy smile on his lips: "In this circle, the truth is not in the mouths of the living, but in the hands of the dead. It just so happens that I am their only spokesperson."
