The Record of Craftsmen

Lin Mo traveled through time and came to a strange Republic of China where steam and talismans intertwined, and cheongsam and Taoist robes coexisted. Here, what is practiced is not the immortal method, but the "Baigong Tao". An actor can confuse all sentient beings when he performs to the extreme, a chef can cook the seven emotions with a jolt of his wok, and even a smoker can create a smoky illusion. And Lin Mo has become the most inconspicuous "craftsman" - specializing in evil objects stained with blood, entangled with resentment, and containing hidden rules. In order to save his sister who was under a strange curse, he was forced to take on a dead man's business: repairing a "Midnight Record Player". Anyone who hears its voice will die within seven days. When Lin Mo's hand touched the cold texture of the record player, the memory of the murderous murder of all members of the theater troupe thirty years ago and his sister's increasingly pale face strangely overlapped. From then on, he stepped into a world full of mysteries: Restoring an old clock that can eat people, behind the hands is a stagnant time cage; Repairing the calendar that records the death scene, every page is filled with the bones of Wei Han; Open the wine gourd that has held the resentful souls for thousands of years, and there is a piece of erased history sealed inside... He found that every ancient artifact he restored was tearing apart the pretense of the world. The so-called "Baigong Road" and the so-called three-level state boundaries are nothing but a cruel experiment called "civilization survival" that has lasted for thousands of years. The carving knife and talisman in his hand are not only to repair the artifacts, but also to carve out a way out for the people he cherishes in this strange world where the rules are broken. On the road, everyone is a craftsman; in the utensils, there is a universe.
