Synopsis
In the "Chengguang Cultural Relics Restoration Center" in the ancient capital Jinling, three top restorers were involved in a cause-and-effect puzzle that spanned a thousand years—— **Shen Qingwu** was repairing a broken sword of the Western Han Dynasty. As soon as his fingertips touched the rust marks on the spine of the sword, he was suddenly dragged into the battlefield filled with yellow sand. The general Li Zhao, who was still guarding the city gate even though he was wounded by several arrows, was exactly the same as the portrait she had seen in the Modern Museum, and the word "Qingwu" yelled by him was exactly her old name embroidered on the corner of her clothes when she was a baby. When she struggled to wake up from her dream, dark red blood and rust were seeping from the interlayer of the sword hilt on the repair table. The surveillance showed that someone tried to steal this newly unearthed cultural relic last night. Dr. Zhou Yanchuan, who specializes in the restoration of ancient books, found half a jade whistle hidden in the brocade interlayer when scanning the fragments of the "Xuanji Pictures" from the Song Dynasty. When he blew the imitation whistle, he witnessed eight hundred years ago on the banks of the Suzhou-Hangzhou Canal, the embroiderer sewed the whistle into the fabrics that were about to be paid in order to deliver a secret anti-gold message, but was swallowed up in the embroidery building by fire. The actual restoration of the fragment found the key latitude and longitude lines, and the dark pattern of the jade whistle perfectly matched the metal fragments left at the scene of the theft. Lin Yu, a scholar who studied ancient sounds, fell into a weirder crisis: when he was repairing a gilt bell from the Tang Dynasty, he triggered "sympathy" by reciting a Sanskrit mantra. In the dream, he became a translator whose tongue was cut out. Before the fall of the Anxi Protectorate, he carved the Kucha music score into the inner wall of the bell. After waking up, he vomited blood with gold dust, and the inner wall of the bell clearly showed modern geographical coordinates - pointing to the never-before-disclosed ninth warehouse underground of the museum. The three gradually discovered that every cultural relic is a "memory carrier" deliberately erased by history: - Repairing a broken wedding dress from the late Qing Dynasty and witnessing the bride using arsenic to embroider a list of corrupt officials on her hijab; - When piecing together the tortoise shell inscriptions, the prophecy "Sanxingdui was not made by human beings" was revealed in exchange for the lives of the Yin Shang priests; - When cleaning up the burnt Qin slips, I actually read out the "Mo Jia Diagram" that Qin Shihuang secretly ordered to keep when he burned the books... When a series of "self-destruction" incidents of cultural relics occurred in the restoration center, Shen Qingwu saw in the bronze mirror of the Warring States Period that General Li raised his sword to stab the current curator with the same birthmark on his neck. And Zhou Yanchuan deciphered even more shocking information in "Xuanji Picture" - what the theft group was never looking for was cultural relics, but "historical correction codes" sealed with blood and tears by the ancients. Concept: Is the restoration of cultural relics a needle and thread that stitches together time or a fig leaf for the power game?
