In Beijing in the 1920s, Duan Zhiyuan, a student at Yenching University, accidentally discovered a mysterious map of an ancient cemetery while sorting out the belongings of his late mentor. In order to complete the unfinished research of his mentor, he met Zhong Shushan, an antique dealer in Liulichang, but he did not know that the other person was actually the legendary Taoist Taoist Mountain Mover.
As the investigation deepens, Duan Zhiyuan is involved in a secret world of rivers and lakes: Xiao Buqi, the leader of the southern faction, is proficient in traps and tricks, Datou, the leader of the northern faction, is good at poaching and taking things by force, and the mysterious lottery thrower always appears at critical moments to give guidance. What is even more dangerous is that foreign forces are also secretly acquiring Chinese cultural relics in an attempt to steal the core secrets of ancient civilization.
With the support of three confidantes, Jiang Xiaoyu, Xiao Qingqing and Ma Xiaohua, Duan Zhiyuan gradually awakened his ancestral bloodline and became a new generation of inheritor. Faced with multiple threats from warlords, foreigners, and traitors, he must unite the three major factions to protect the treasure house of ancient wisdom hidden underground.
A contest concerning the survival of national culture is about to begin. On the thin line between life and death, inheritance determines the world.
