At the end of the Ming Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, under the order to shave off hair, the world was in chaos.
To avoid trouble, Wang Xiaoer, a young boy from the countryside, shaved his head and hid in Shaolin. He just wanted to live in peace and not care about the world's affairs.
He didn't know that since the Yellow Emperor cast the tripod and Yu settled the Nine Provinces, official history has never been history, but a seal - all dynasties have compiled books and biographies just to lock up the aura of the mountains and rivers and imprison the soul of the earth.
The more orthodox the dynasty becomes and the stricter the writing, the closer the world becomes to secular death.
The county annals scattered everywhere are the only respite for the earth.
It records that the ancient locust trees have become essences, that the ancient wells have connected the veins, and that the local people have spirits. They hide the true history that has been erased by the official history.
Qing soldiers entered the temple, burned the county records, destroyed the writings, and searched for the location of the land.
He does not understand the way of heaven, does not understand the seal, does not understand the spiritual charm,
Just rely on instinct, don't cause trouble, don't stand out, don't show off.
But when he was involved in trouble again and again, he was shocked to realize:
The burning of books by the Qing court was not to control the people, but actually to steal the territory of the Central Plains and divert it away from the customs;
Literary prison is not only a harsh regime, but also a butcher's knife that kills the soul of the earth.
And he himself was originally a boundary keeper from the first reincarnation, chosen by the earth line.
When the official history wants to seal the world,
As a mortal, he keeps the county's annals, continues the land lineage, and seeks balance, just to prevent history from ending with all souls returning to ruins.
