On a snowstorm night in Daxinganling, Chen Sanping held the bronze mirror that his grandfather had given him before his death. The red spots on the mirror were as red as blood, hiding half of the broken picture of dragon veins, but it revealed the strange truth about the collective disappearance of the geological exploration team thirty years ago - deep in the ice, seven corpses stared at the world in a star formation, and the "double agent" marked in Russian in the yellowed notebook was still bleeding.
The fate of the three generations of gold-touching captains began with the Hidden Dragon Vein cut off by Yao Guangxiao in the Ming Dynasty. When the rusty Yongle Tongbao was piled up in the snow to form "ghost tiptoes", and when the gas masks of Soviet experts and Japanese biochemical hyphae coexisted in the ice tomb, Chen Sanping was shocked to realize this life and death situation that spanned six centuries: the bronze sacred tree guarded by the shaman Zhu with living human bones, and the Guixu Sea Eye sealed by the Nine Palace Lock in the Qintian Prison, all revealed their ferocious true colors in the blue light of the bronze mirror.
Shuttling among the gear corpses in the glacier cave, Chen's bloodline is competing with parasitic hyphae for the body. Grandpa's phantom sternly warned in the mirror, and the golden vertical pupils trembling under the ice had swallowed up twelve living souls. And the whole picture of the blood-stained dragon veins ultimately points to the depths of the South China Sea - where sleeps the dragon crown of Emperor Zhou who can reverse yin and yang, and the ultimate answer that all tomb robbers buried with their lives: Should humans wake up a forbidden area of civilization more terrifying than the Mausoleum of the First Emperor?
