[Mountains and rivers are volumes, secrets are ink, and a Chinese spiritual epic is written]
During the Yuanfeng period of the Northern Song Dynasty, Lin Yan, an orphan from Qinghe Station on the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal, received half a bronze order inscribed with "Mountains and Rivers Forever" before his adoptive father passed away. He accidentally triggered the mechanism under the ancient pagoda tree and discovered the remains of the stele "Military rations were cut off in the second year of Yuanfeng", which revealed the shocking secret behind the diversion of the Yellow River. At the same time, Su Qingqian, the historian of the Hanlin Academy, discovered the contradiction of "natural disasters covering up man-made disasters" while collating "History of the Song Dynasty". He took half of his father's "Mountains, Rivers and Geographical Research" south to pursue the question, and disguised himself as a merchant woman and entered Qinghe Station.
When Lin Yan's coarse cloth shorts collided with Su Qingqian's moon-white Su embroidered skirt, when half a bronze order and half a map were perfectly matched, two souls that had no intersection were tightly bound by the clues of the "Secrets of Mountains and Rivers" - the secrets were not gold, silver, pearls and jade, but a "map of people's livelihood" related to the lifeline of the dynasty, and also contained the original intention of "taking the hearts of the people as the key" of the guardians of the past dynasties.
From the hidden secrets of water transportation in the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal, the hidden edge of silk and silk in the Jiangnan Weaving Bureau, to the mysterious traces of the ancient stacks on the Tangluo Road in the Qinling Mountains, the two protagonists use the dual perspectives of "errands in the market" and "historians in the temple" to peel off the cocoons: the old leader of the Cao Gang The arms of the "Canal Protector", the "double-sided embroidered handkerchief" of Orihu's daughter A Ruan, the "hidden message in the painting" of the court painter Gu Mo, and the "wolf skin wristband" of the frontier general Xiao Wanzhao, all the arcs of the group portraits are intertwined into a "picture of mountains and rivers". Not only do they have to fight against the conspiracy of the corrupt frontman Tuoba Lie and the betrayal of Zhou Huairen, the head of the Jiangnan Weaving Bureau, but also in the ultimate test of the "Secret Cave", they have to understand the true meaning of "Mountains and rivers are eternal, not in dangerous passes but in people's hearts."
