Dali Temple Gu Gu Record
In the city of Chang'an, serial poisonous cases occurred frequently, and strange wood chips with numbers were left on the bodies of the deceased. From "three" to "nine", it seemed like a cruel arithmetic game with human life at stake. Nanjiang Centipede sneaked in with mysterious poison techniques and threatened to turn the entire capital into a poison breeding ground. People were panicked for a while.
Lu Zheng, the young minister of Dali Temple, pursued the case for many days but repeatedly found himself in dead ends until he met Shen Yanci, a commoner woman. She is suffering from a frail disease, but she uses a charcoal pen, a square grid, and arithmetic as a blade to solve the puzzle: she can calculate the traces of soil poison from the congealed sugar in the sugar pot, deduce the murderer's whereabouts from the scratches on the door knocker and the sound of footsteps, and even calculate the suspect's weakness and hidden secrets from the ink marks on the fingernails and the stitches on the collar [__LINK_ICON].
"Arithmetic never counts fortunes, only traces and people's hearts." Shen Yanci's words gave a glimmer of hope to the deadlock. Together with Lin Mo, who is good at medicine and poison, and Jiang Xu, who is highly skilled in martial arts, she officially joined the Dali Temple's poison investigation team, and formed a detective team of "counting, martial arts, medicine, and detection" with Lu Zheng. From the blinding method in Jiugong Lane to the smoke trap in Wufu Lane, they dismantled the Gu array set up by Centipede according to the Jiugong grid, and even had to compete with the black-robed military advisor behind the scenes who was also proficient in arithmetic.
The power game between the three companies, the shocking secret of the Poison Valley, and the dilemma of the coerced person. As the Poison numbers "one to nine" emerge one by one, behind the layers of entangled clues, there is not only the conspiracy of Poison, but also the greed and redemption of human nature. When arithmetic and voodoo collide, when truth and people's hearts collide, in this chess game of life and death with Chang'an as the chessboard, who can figure out the final way to break the game?
Purpose: Use arithmetic as a blade to detect conspiracies and protect justice and peace in Chang'an.
