Qingming Erosion Record

Lin Jingshan, a young man from a family of gravekeepers in Jiangnan, has a doctorate in history, but unexpectedly returns to his ancestral home to take over the tombkeeper business, because the library of his old home contains secrets that transcend academia. While sorting through ancient books, he discovered that what his family had been guarding for generations was not the tomb, but the ancient time rift called "Qingming" - it turned out that the twenty-four solar terms were not calendars, but actually "erosion" repair nodes that maintained the stability of the world. From the cinnabar annotations in Ming Dynasty manuscripts to the "Fragment of Seasonal Witches" on the bottom of the camphor box, Lin Jingshan gradually revealed the truth: the wordless stele is the real interface of the cracks, and the Qingming water sprinkling ceremony is the basic link of "clearing the cracks and clearing the marks." On the night of the Qingming Festival, he witnessed the green corrosion marks emerging, and during his spiritual exploration, he came into contact with the remaining will of Jie Zitui, and learned that he was not a loyal minister who was burned to death in historical legends, but a guardian of the Mirror Clan who used himself as a wedge to mend the cracks in the time sequence. In order to prevent the deterioration of corrosion marks and the confusion of time and space, Lin Jingshan searched for the "sources of three thoughts" based on the Jing Clan's slips - the "Tears of Regret" from Gu Huai, the "Pure Thoughts" of Yun Niang Yinsuo, and the "Rootless Water Essence" presented by Shao Guanming to trigger the "Enlightenment of the Supreme Space", and activated the formation of Nirvana on Qingming Night. After the impact of the torrent of obsession and the final guidance of Jie Zitui, he temporarily stabilized the corrosion marks, but found that the source of the corrosion marks was the withering of the mirror ruins, and he only had twelve years to buffer. The guardian network of the twenty-four solar terms erosion marks and the greater crisis are waiting for him to continue to explore. The story uses "memory as glue and grief as thread", interweaving historical legends and fantasy settings.
