Does recorded history have to be the truth?
…
Qi Chuan is an official in Kunlun's "Shanhai Recording Department".
His duty is not to slay demons, but to go to places where visions occur, record mountains, rivers, strange beasts, disasters and rumors, organize everything into volumes, and send them back to Kunlun for archiving.
He has always believed:
People lie, legends lie, fears lie.
But as long as the facts are accurately recorded, the truth never disappears.
Until he went to Qingqiu alone for the first time to investigate an incident of "nine-tailed fox cannibalism".
There is nothing wrong with the old record.
Nine-tailed foxes do eat meat.
He also did eat human corpses.
But the real murderers are people.
From then on, Qichuan began to discover——
A completely correct statement is enough to become a lie as long as the cause and effect are removed.
Eight all true testimonies may also spell out a non-existent truth.
And a map can not only describe the world.
Sometimes, it even determines what places deserve to exist.
Qingqiu guide Qing Di, young secretary Heng, and Yu lineage surveyor Shi Yue successively accompanied him.
The four of them track down the Nine-tailed Fox, Jingwei, Bifang, Qiongqi, Tianwu, Xingtian, Xiangliu and other mysterious events that have already been written into history.
They originally investigated mountains and seas.
In the end, it was discovered that the people who really needed to be investigated were the people who recorded the mountains and seas.
When everyone believes——
For the sake of order, only one version of the world can be left in the end.
Those deleted names, erased places, and lives classified as "the rest, not recorded",
And who should write it down?
