Swallow Meteor

The craziest thing Yongan has ever done in his life is swallowing a stone when he was sixteen years old. It was dug out from under the collapsed Buddha Hall of Hanging Temple. The night he swallowed it, he suffered from a high fever for three days, and his bones felt like they had been torn apart and reassembled. After coming back to life, he found that the whole world had changed under his feet - he could see mineral veins, secret passages and buried antiquities three feet deep underground, like a burning map spread under his feet. A handyman apprentice without a father or mother, with a pair of eyes that could see through the land, started from a pawn shop and single-handedly established a business name that spanned the Northern Wei Dynasty. He swallowed a betrayal in prison, and after he was released from prison, he controlled the grain market of the Luoyang court with a grain price list. Marrying a girl he saved many years ago, sleeping with the owner of a wine shop, a businesswoman from the Western Regions, a lady from a noble family, a prairie horse taming girl, a kaifang singer - every woman thought she was the last one, but no one was. But Xuan Shi was not given for free. In the winter when he was thirty-five, he noticed that his nails began to turn black. The fragment in the body that had been dormant for twenty years was beginning to repay its debt. Before it completely took him away, he spent ten years setting up a net - letting his eldest son become an official, his second son do business, and the youngest son took the eye symbol and walked deep into the crevices of the mountain behind the Hanging Temple. And he himself rode out of the city on a misty morning and returned to the place where it all began. The bronze bell in the cave rang three times. Some people use their lives to seal a door, and some people use their lives to open a way.
