In 1936, in Peiping, a strange murder occurred late at night in Liulichang.
During the investigation, Lu Xunzhou, a police detective studying abroad, discovered that the deceased was a Japanese scholar. He died in a bizarre manner and the fragments of "Yongle Dadian" in his hand were leaking strange "blood". Su Mingyi, the female shopkeeper of the antique book shop, took one look and revealed the secret: "This is not human blood, but the secret secret of the former Qing Dynasty royal family's 'Hidden Zhu' - which appears when exposed to wine and turns red when exposed to tears."
What's even more shocking is that the bloody words on the fragment were twisted and reorganized under the moonlight, and what they spelled out were the fatal coordinates of Lu Xunzhou's father's disappearance three years ago: Dongling Underground Palace, under the No. 3 King Kong Wall.
He is a Cambridge elite who believes in science, and she is a former Qinggege who possesses shamanistic secrets. A murder case forces the two of them to break into a forbidden area forgotten by history. Deep in the Dongling Tomb, the "terrestrial embryo" recorded incoherently in my father's notebook is squirming; the cracks in the national jade seal seep out of green fluorescence that should not exist in the world.
The dragon-shaped mark quietly appeared on Lu Xunzhou's back, and with every full moon, it penetrated into his bone marrow inch by inch.
