Synopsis
Salt is the blood of a country, and chess is the shackles of heaven and earth. In the ancient Wuxian Kingdom, a white deer led to a spring, and the salt smoke lasted for thousands of years. There are eternal turbid roots sleeping deep in the ground. It does not take shape by water or fire, but only grows slowly by greed, anger and killing in the world. Once reincarnation moves, it will bring chaos to the sky. Thousands of years ago, General Shen Yan led twelve soldiers into the mountains and rivers of the Xian Kingdom, and used the secrets of Ba witchcraft to set up a twelve-son formation to suppress chaos. A bronze chess bottle with a scale locks the earth's veins. The general enters the game with his body, and his soul is forever buried under the natural earth chessboard of Tongchengba. The earth trembled, and the copper bottle was broken into seven fragments, scattered in seven secret places in Xian Kingdom. Jiang Xubai, a young man from Tongchengba, accidentally picked up a fragment of a chess piece. The mounds cracked, a deep pulsation came from the earth; old songs drifted across the mountains and fields in the wind. Under the peaceful countryside, the thousand-year seal is quietly decaying. In order to protect the common people, he bid farewell to his hometown and traveled to Wuxian mountains and rivers: the thousand-year-old salt stove of Bailu Salt Spring in Ningchang Ancient Town, the ruins of the Queen's Village cliff, the nine-story coffin in Phoenix Mountain and the colorful stalactites of Qinglong Cave, the secret cave of Yuntai Guan Ancient View, the legend of the dragon snake in Sifang Cave in Qimang Gorge, and the deep cold pool of Yujia Cave in Lanying Grand Canyon. Seven fragments, seven dangers. The gangsters who pursue treasures on the black market, the survivors who have been guarding the line for generations, and the Taoist monks who hold different ideas all appear one after another. On the one hand, Gou An waited for the catastrophe to come, while on the other hand, he gathered the fragments to recast the chess bottle, embarking on a dead end road of sacrificing himself in battle and leaving no name in the world. The human heart is like a chess game, and mountains and rivers are like chessboards. The earth is thousands of miles away, who will take over this endgame that no one has seen for thousands of years. Purpose: Based on the fateful journey of a young man playing chess and guarding the mountains and rivers, he writes about his awe for the mountains and rivers of his hometown, the praise of ordinary people for shouldering heavy responsibilities, and the reflection on the greed, impetuousness and contempt of the world. Thousands of years ago, generals entered the game to protect the world forever, and thousands of years later, young men continued to sacrifice without name. Real peace is never taken for granted. There are always people who bear the burden silently, hiding in the mountains and rivers without leaving their names.
