In the ancient land of the Central Plains, legend has it that there are nine "Dragon Vein Secrets" hidden in them, which contain the power of the emperor and the mysterious power of foreign civilizations. Qi Mo, a graduate student in the Department of Archeology, embarked on a thrilling journey from Beimang Mountain in Luoyang to Qinling Mausoleum in Lishan Mountain, from the depths of temples to the whirlpool of rivers and lakes, because of a bronze key engraved with nine entwining dragon patterns. He will work side by side with Qin Feng, a descendant of the mysterious mountain-moving Taoist priest of the southern sect, and Jin Xuezhu, a descendant of the Jin family of the northern sect of gold-touching school captains. They will face the traps of the secret passages of the government, the biochemical magic of the war era, and the machinations behind the modern military and the Cultural Relics Bureau. In the secret chamber of the ancient tomb where life, death and mystery are intertwined, they broke through desperate situations again and again, and gradually uncovered the dusty past of Qi Mo's father and Professor Chen's "Kowloon Research Group". When the truth is close at hand, the heroes will face: should they reveal a shocking secret that can shake the world, or should they bury it and seal it forever with blood and oaths?
