Synopsis
A fire broke out in the Dingxi Hou Mansion, destroying all the glory of the house. It was rumored by both the government and the public that Xie Huaibi, the legitimate daughter, was buried in the sea of fire. But in the darkness of the dry well, she came back to life among the corpses. The capital city was in a deadlock. In order to find her brother and wash away the stigma of the Xie family being collaborators with the enemy, she could only head west, towards the windy and sandy Hexi Ancient Road. Pei Zhao, who was walking in the ruins at night, had not collected his food the night before. He was infected with the blood-draining poison and his life span had already been counted down. He wants to find Kunlun Chixuelian to extend his life. She holds clues to the old border department. A deal was made: he would protect her on her safe journey westward, and she would help him obtain the elixir. Bones in the deserted post, bleeding in the Buddha cave, Yaksha at the ferry, and strange and strange things along the way are all a trap for people's hearts. They were originally partners who each wanted what they needed, but they became entwined in life and death. His remaining body was almost gone, but he was still willing to block all the swords for her; she walked all over the yellow sand, but she also wanted to seek a chance for him to survive. When the evidence is gathered, he returns to Chang'an and the Zhao family is cleared of injustice. If I can escape, I will return to Hexi and spend the rest of my life together in the wind and sand. Purpose: Xie Huaibi died in a fire in the Hou Mansion, and the noble daughter who was once a noble lady has perished; Pei Zhao was trapped in the blood poison and was already living in the shadow of the countdown to death. The two set out with a profit transaction, without asking for redemption or deep love, but during the journey of thousands of miles of yellow sand and uncertainty of life and death, they gradually lowered their guard. All the ghostly and weird phenomena in the book include "Buddha's eyes bleeding, Yaksha crossing the river, and bones in the deserted post", but there are no real gods or demons. All strange things are caused by greed, intrigue, sacrifice and lies. Taking advantage of the journey in Hexi, we unravel the conspiracy in the shadows of the court, explore the injustice of loyalty, the difficulty of distinguishing between good and evil, and the fact that human nature is always black and white. Emotionally, the main theme of rejecting the love falling from the sky is not "the male protagonist protects the female protagonist and takes revenge", but two-way support and mutual fulfillment. She helped him find a chance to survive, and he accompanied her through the wind and sand to wash away the family's grievances. Revenge is never the end. When the unjust case in Chang'an was settled, the two gave up the glory of Beijing and returned to the ancient Hexi Road. The real rest of life is never about regaining the wealth and glory of the past, but after going through catastrophes, finding a place of peace of mind and staying together in the wind and sand.
