I was an ordinary young man living in a modern city, but my family’s secret Yin-Yang Bagua arts forced me onto the path of tomb raiding.
To save my gravely ill younger sister, I entered a thousand-year-old tomb and teamed up with the mysterious Qin Yue to hunt for treasure.
The tomb’s mechanisms were arranged according to the Bagua, and Qin Yue could summon a jade eye out of thin air to discern the gates of life and death.
It wasn’t until she tore apart a bronze corpse king with her bare hands that I realized she was descended from the tomb’s guardians.
“Do you know,” she said, gently touching the jade disc in the coffin, “that the Dragon-Burial treasure is actually a curse?”
Each time we used the secret arts, our bodies turned a little more into living corpses.
By the day my sister recovered, the three of us stood at the boundary between Yin and Yang, half human and half corpse.
There are still secrets in the family, the elders still don't tell the protagonist, and in the end something goes wrong and the protagonist is left to improvise, and this is definitely written by AI.
