Tomb Raiding: Six Years Old from the Start, I Shook the Dragon Veins of Jiuzhou

In 1926, the Yellow River surged with muddy waves, revealing a mysterious Song Dynasty tomb. Six-year-old Chen Shan was lowered underwater by his father, where he pried a cold, uncanny bronze compass from the hands of a skeleton. The compass pointed not only to the wealth of the dead, but also foretold a shocking secret hidden beneath China: a map of the dragon veins powerful enough to shake the Nine Provinces! From the chaos of the Republican era to the flames of the war against Japan, from the civil war between the Nationalists and Communists to the turbulent early years of New China, Chen Shan journeyed alongside Wang the Chubby, a streetwise joker, and the gentle yet resolute Su Qinglan. They ventured into the bizarre hanging coffin formations of Bashu, broke into a pool of mercury in an underground Tang tomb, and, in the shadow of the Cultural Revolution, searched the northwestern deserts for the secret tomb of Empress Dowager Xiao of the Liao Dynasty. The Japanese Kwantung Army, the German Nazis, the Soviet KGB, Nationalist agents... Every faction watched like a tiger eyeing its prey, willing to do anything to seize the dragon veins. A blood-red jade cong wept blood as a warning, and fragments of a heavenly book written on dragon bone surfaced. Every descent into a tomb was a life-or-death trial; every effort to protect a treasure concerned the fate of the nation! Hard-core tomb-raiding techniques, nerve-racking traps and puzzles, and the deep love of country and family kept hidden through turbulent times, alongside a devotion that endured until death.
