Looking for the Way of Memory

At the end of Luo Xing Yuan is a wasteland called Dry Bone Beach. Shen Xun, a fourteen-year-old scavenger boy, is missing a ring finger and has a pair of eyes of different colors - gray on the left and gold on the right. He can hear the curses of ancient craftsmen from broken tiles, and read the last words of the deceased from broken bones. This ability is called "Seeking the Way of Memory", and it is the only legacy left to him by Granny Bai before she died. A fragment of tortoise shell and a singing rib led him to the Tomb of Changsong. Hidden in the tomb is the first tortoise shell, and a strange girl Ji Xiaoyan who calls herself the "storyteller". "Collect five pieces of turtle shell and you can open the Abyss of Annihilation." Ji Xiaoyan said, "Your father is locked inside." Shen Xun has never met his father. Granny Bai said that he was captured by Wangchuan Palace and imprisoned in a place called "The Abyss of Silence" for more than ten years. In order to save his father, Shen Xun went on the road together with Meng Hu and Ji Xiaoyan. Pursued by the Wangchuan Palace, they must collect five pieces of turtle shell to uncover the truth of the "Great Erasure" - who launched a disaster that cleansed history in ancient times? Why is everyone trying to forget? Rusty Iron Prison, Echoing Tomb, Abyss of Annihilation... Every piece of turtle shell is a key and a trap. Shen Xun gradually discovered that the forgotten truth was more terrifying than death.
