[The ancient ink transforms into the soul, the strange lines devour life; the living pen wakes up the nightmare, the author of the abyss]
In the early years of the Republic of China, misty rain in the south of the Yangtze River hid murderous intent.
A bizarre "ink bite" disaster caused the young master of the Gu family, Gu Lushi, to break a millennium taboo.
He has a "clear heart" that can see through illusions, but he sees the clouds in ancient paintings squirming, the letters stained with traces of life, the servants instantly turned into mummies, and the ink streaks on his face are like living insects devouring life. Anything stained with "ink" will either spontaneously ignite into ashes, or wake up into a nightmare - this is by no means an ordinary and sneaky thing.
The only clue points to the evil god of rivers and lakes - "Point the Common People".
It was a Taoist priest with a face as gray as a corpse and a mysterious whereabouts. He does not use charms to exorcise evil spirits and does not recite incantations to suppress evil spirits. A dark copper carving knife and a handful of scarlet spiritual sand carve out the Heavenly Rule of Nirvana with a wave of his hand, dismembering the invisible ink shadow like a paper puppet. The world is afraid of his ruthless methods and knows that he is seeking life and death, but they also know that he is the only one who can "stop the ink stain" from this "scourge of ink staining".
In order to break the catastrophe of the Destruction Gate and find his missing father, Gu Lushi took a large amount of gold and a secret box and stepped into the desperate situation of making a deal with the devil.
"Sir, save my entire Gu family. The Gu family can afford the price."
Since then, a death exploration through the terrifying Jedi has begun:
In the painting, the ink-shadowed scholar wakes up in a mountain dwelling, whispering to confuse people;
From the stone carvings of insects in southern Xinjiang crawl out the ballad ephemera that poisons all things;
In Beimang Forest of Steles, the thousand-year-old inscription of death turned into a mobile soul-eating cage;
Until the abyss of Lost Mo Ruins, the living cauldron that swallowed up the ancient country exudes the aura of Mo Yuan that ends all things...
[It's neither a ghost nor a zombie, it's a deeper despair—the carrier of civilization is the devouring carrier!
When calligraphy and painting inscriptions turn into heart-eating traps, when text patterns become life-threatening chains, technology and metaphysics collide violently in this rift valley of the old world.
The rich man broke through the ink barrier and lost his way, the unknown Taoist priest cut off the fate of strange objects with his carving knife, and the cold-faced craftsman cracked the movable type killing game...
The stars are shining, but they will eventually ignite themselves one by one in the long night of fighting against the unknown fear, turning into the fallen firewood.
What they are looking for is not wealth, but the historical truth eroded by the ink lines, and a glimmering crack that leads to a way to survive.
Just walk to the end of the abyss and stare at the core of the strange ink,
"Ink Soul Hidden" - Uncover the curse of civilization that has been soaked in hatred for thousands of years.
Intention: Facing the darkness and forgetfulness imposed by fate, it is the friendship and bond deep in the human heart that becomes the only light against the abyss.
