In the midsummer of 1995, during the expansion project of Wuhou Temple in Chengdu, workers accidentally unearthed a Qing Dynasty stone chamber containing three red coffins engraved with strange talismans. Professor Wang of the archaeological team and his student Li Juan intervened in the investigation and discovered that the mummy in the coffin was actually that of a corrupt official in the Qing Dynasty. It was wearing a "corpse locking pattern" and a "corpse summoning talisman", and it was suspected that someone had deliberately raised the corpse. The coffin was transported to the Institute of Cultural Relics overnight, but disappeared mysteriously. Subsequently, zombie attacks occurred one after another in Chengdu, and the citizens fell into panic.
Interpol Zhao Gang insisted on tracing the truth, and joined forces with Bureau 749 agents Qinglong and Baihu, and found that the mummy had transformed into a corpse and fled to the Xiling Snow Mountain. Professor Wang, Li Juan, Taoist priest Lao Zhang and others formed a team to go into the mountains to track them, and started a decisive battle with three mummies in the Zhenzhen Temple deep in the snowy mountains. In the end, everyone relied on the evidence of corrupt officials in the Qing Dynasty and the "blood of pure Yang" to resolve the century-old corpse disaster at the Kunlun Altar and destroy the source of corpse energy.
After the incident subsided, the reformists within Bureau 749 took power and covered up the truth. But Professor Wang and others know very well that the supernatural threat has not ended, and the struggle between the guardians of the world and the forces of darkness is still going on.
