Lin Yan, a doctor of folklore, discovered in his hometown in western Hunan that what his grandfather left behind was not just an old notebook - it was a secret inheritance called "Yan Shou" that had been passed down for three thousand years.
The strange beasts in the Classic of Mountains and Seas have not disappeared, they are lurking in the cracks of modern society in the form of "named beings". Bi Fang lives in a substation, Nine-tailed Fox works as a psychological counselor, and Mountain Ghost spends several generations of his life in a remote village. The "boundary stone" that maintains the balance of all this - the seal erected in the Shang and Zhou dynasties and engraved with an oracle bone contract - is crumbling.
When his name appeared on the boundary stone in the back mountain, Lin Yan knew: his grandfather did not die of illness, but was poisoned by the traitor Chi Yuan; his mother did not die of illness, but faked her death to avoid Bai Yiguan's pursuit; he himself was not just an ordinary doctoral student, what flowed in his body was the "origin of inkstone" that could rewrite all contracts.
He only has one month to walk through the eighty-one boundary stones and find the one that seals the inheritance of the Queen Mother of the West.
He had to make his own choice before Chiyuan arrived.
It's Shou. Yes. It's the referee. Is a pioneer.
A scholar used oracle bones as a contract, a writing brush as a weapon, and took a path that no one had traveled three thousand years ago to become an inkstone guard of his generation.
