At the turn of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, destiny was unclear. Taishi ordered Yuan Tiangang to observe the stars and see the changes, and Li Chunfeng, a prodigy in arithmetic, predicted the changes. The two were ordered to deduce the fate of the country, but when they wrote the first hexagram in the underground secret room, they knew they had entered a fate that they could not turn back from.
In order to get a glimpse of the secrets of the sky, they traveled west to the desert to search for fragments of the Heavenly Sky, went south to Jinling to obtain the secret pattern of Luoshu, and went deep into Lingnan to borrow the Holy Ruler of Shennong. On the day when the three weapons come together, the prophecies are like mirrors: the arrival of the Wu family, the war between An and Shi, the changes in the Song and Yuan Dynasties... The rise and fall of the next sixty years will unfold one after another in the hexagrams. However, the real dilemma lies not in the star map, but in the human heart - Wu Zetian's transformation from a girl to an emperor comes true step by step. The "Destroyer" wants to make the prophecy public to the world and stir up troubles, while the seven elders of Xuanmen behind the scenes guard the more ancient taboos.
In the gap between real history and secret legends, Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng spent sixty years completing the sixty images of "Tuibei Tu" on the top of Qingcheng Mountain. Every image is encrypted with hexagrams, pictures, prophecies, and poems, and every prophecy is soaked in blood and tears: The most painful thing for those who know destiny is witnessing disaster but not being able to speak out; the saddest thing for those who keep secrets is knowing everything but being silent.
But the real core of this classic, which has been passed down as a "wonderful book of prophecy" by later generations, is not to predict the future. When the last image of "pushing back and returning to rest" was completed, the ultimate answer they left to the world finally appeared: the destiny is never destined, and the real prophecy will always be written in the footprints of the people creating history; the greatest prophecy will always be the tomorrow that has not yet been written and is jointly created by millions of people.
The whole book is divided into five volumes: the events of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the emergence of the secret of heaven, the disappearance of the artifact, the sudden change, and the turning of the back into a picture.
