Gate of Xuyuan: the Secret Record of the Soul Locking Bell

Chen Pingan's life ended on the day when a strange black mark appeared on his left chest. After being a soul lock craftsman for hundreds of years, he became the "living key" of the family's sins, enduring the erosion from the invisible abyss day and night - cold, peeling off, until the very existence itself was erased. Until he met Su Mu, a researcher obsessed with supernatural mysteries and armed with science and ancient artifacts. In order to survive and to end the century-spanning curse, the two were forced to embark on a dangerous path of exploration. From a gloomy ancient town to an abandoned mine, and finally broke into the "Fog Clan Village" permanently shrouded in thick fog and strange ringing sounds. Here, they faced the crazy mountain spirit "Di Ting" who had been imprisoned for hundreds of years by the evil magic of the "Soul Locking Bell", and also encountered a trace of compassion and purifying power derived from the ancient "Old Tune".
