Lin Shen, a graduate student in the Department of Archeology, strayed into a forbidden area in the mountains of southwest China on a rainy night and bumped into Xie Wujiu, the most mysterious temple keeper in Xiejia Village. The Taoist priest in white clothes has a hideous scar on his neck. The bronze bell in his hand coincides surprisingly with the 1895 living sacrifice case recorded in the mural. When Lin Shen's blood dripped onto the ancient jade in the ancestral hall, the dusty life wheel began to turn - the cinnabar mole on his palm was the mark of the priest who died in love a hundred years ago, and Xie Wujiu's immortal soul was carved into his life chart three centuries ago.
Bizarre murders occur one after another in modern cities: the heart of the deceased is branded with the blood mark of Pisces, and the DNA test exactly matches the bones of the Qing Dynasty. Lin Shen discovered that every time he got closer to Xie Wujiu, the memories of his past life eroded his reason like a tide - the Taoist priest with erect pupils on a moonlit night had blocked the heart-piercing sword for him on the altar, and in the modern laboratory, the man was touching his iris detector with his blood-stained fingertips. When AR scanning revealed the uranium mine conspiracy underground in the ancestral hall, the truth about human sacrifice emerged: the Xie clan leader who controlled the village actually used nuclear radiation to disguise heavenly punishment in an attempt to restart the ancient secret of reincarnation.
"Do you believe it? Every life we miss has become a crack on the beam of the ancestral hall."
Lin Shen, who was forced to go against science, looked for a way to break the situation between quantum physics and spell formations; Xie Wujiu, trapped in a shrine, reshaped the meaning of existence in the torrent of thousands of years of obsession and data. From the touch of fingertips wiping the bronze compass, to the embrace of life and death in the MRI cabin, when the dusty Yin and Yang Pisces pendants are closed again, the bloody curse is about to complete its final stroke. This time, with archaeological brushes and peach wood swords in their hands, can they use their mortal bodies to rewrite God's chess game?
"I want this quantum universe to bear witness - Xie Wujiu and Lin Shen will live forever and ever."
Intention: Xie Wujiu and Lin Shen will live forever and ever.
