Odd Numbers: an Account of Differences

In the autumn of the 53rd year of Qianlong's reign, Chen Yanqing, a foreign minister from the Yinyang Academy, discovered a "gap" in an old house in Zhuangyuanfang, Shaoxing - the couple Tao An and Shen of the Southern Song Dynasty who had been trapped in a time rift for eight hundred years. He broke the gap, and the couple disappeared, leaving him with a warm Jianyan Tongbao and a "witness" mark. From then on, he saw a hidden world. The gap is the gap between the human world and the other world. There are people waiting in every gap - Xu Qing, a Taoist from Qingcheng who has been guarding the Dingxing gap for eight hundred years, a sweeping monk who has been waiting for more than a hundred years at the Yongquan Temple, and the bloodline of the eldest son of the five generations of the Shen family in Suzhou who was cursed by the "Unknown One" contract. What they are waiting for is not salvation, but someone who can call them by name. Shen Yingxing, the head of Yin Yang Academy in the late Ming Dynasty, found nine relics of Emperor Mu during the Wanli period, erased the location of the Gui Xu Gate, and left a "Gui Xu Kao", waiting for someone who could collect the nine artifacts and open the Gui Xu Gate. More than a hundred years later, Chen Yanqing took the copper coin from Shaoxing to Dingxing, from Fuzhou to Zhongnan Mountain, and picked up wooden rulers, bone mirrors, bamboo slips, stone swords, iron seals, and jade bis one by one. The gate of Guixu is in the shadow of Mount Tai. The day when the nine weapons gather together is the time when Wan Zai returns to his clan. He is the person of all shapes and sizes. And what he was waiting for was the moment that would release everyone from the gap.
