Thirty years ago, Qingshi Ridge collapsed and the entire old Qingshi Town sank into the heart of the mountain. The official record is a geological disaster, but the Gu family tree only writes eight words - "The mountain opens the old gate, and the town enters its belly."
Thirty years later, the city expanded and the entire Qingshiling ancestral tomb was moved. During the construction work, a bottomless green well was dug, with an ancient forbidden saying engraved on the edge of the well: Those who enter the well must not look back. At the same time, the non-existent cemetery "017" appeared on the tomb relocation number book, and 017 corresponds to the Gu family lineage where Gu Xingzhou belongs.
Gu Xingzhou followed his ancestors to "read the tomb inscriptions" since he was a child. He gradually discovered that the so-called tomb relocation does not mean moving the dead, but "calibrating the numbering." Every ancestral grave is a coordinate in the mountain and sea system; every well is a calibration point between reality and the "old gate". The people whose numbers were erased did not die, but were relegated to another order deep in the mountains.
As No. 017 Was re-registered, rule pollution began to appear in Qingshiling: the genealogy automatically increased and decreased, the shadow of the mountain in the mirror hung upside down, the missing person was replaced, and the construction site was repeatedly "backed up". Gu Xingzhou was forced to get involved in a secret and huge system - "forbidden migration", an order in the mountains and seas jointly maintained by ancient families and secret institutions.
