Everyone knows Nuwa melted stones to mend the sky, broke off the legs of a giant turtle to prop up the four corners of the world, and molded people from earth.
But after her work was done, she vanished without a trace, and no one knows what became of her.
Only a strange bone diviner remains, searching for Nuwa's bones.
He says: Nuwa's bones, a god's flesh. Whoever obtains them can reach the heavens.
[Chinese folk fantasy | Qinling mysteries / myth retelling / tales of the strange]
At Baiye, in Gumiaoxiang at the southern foot of the Qinling Mountains, a fortune-teller runs a little stall. He doesn't read faces, palms, or birth charts. He makes his living by reading bones. But in this age of science, business is dismal, and he's on the verge of bankruptcy.
Just as he's looking for somewhere better to go, a handsome young man with more money than sense shows up.
The young man is generous, throwing around a fortune just to learn the art of bone divination from Bai Cang. The technique isn't taught to outsiders, but the man clings to him like a burr and tries every trick in the book.
Bai Cang: "I won't teach you."
Lin Feng: "Eight million!"
Bai Cang: "Money is a tiger coming down the mountain."
Lin Feng: "I'll sell myself!"
Bai Cang: "Beauty is a knife that cuts to the bone."
Then, in the dead of night, she sneaks into his room, planning to throw him out along with his bags. But blue runes suddenly appear across his skin...
