Era background: During the warlord war in 1928, Sun Dianying stole the Eastern Tomb of the Qing Dynasty as the background, and integrated into the legend of the tomb of the wealthy businessman Wang Chi in the late Qing Dynasty. Social unrest has led to rampant tomb robberies, and various forces have become involved in the fight for secret treasures due to greed and obsession.
Geographic environment: The core is located in the Black Rock Mountains at the junction of Shanxi and Shaanxi. It was once the Qing army's counter-insurgency battlefield and Wang Chi's retreat. The underground palaces in the mausoleum complex combine Han, Tibetan and Mongolian cultures, with a strange structure and hidden multiple mechanisms and cultural codes.
Curse system: Double curses intertwined - Qianlong ordered Taoist priests to use a seven-star array to bind Wang Chi to the skulls of nine enemies (patriarch Ye He, wizards from the Western Regions, etc.), Setting up a "Yin Soldier Trapping Soul" array; Wang Chi's daughter cast a "Blood Curse Gravekeeper" technique, trapping the soul in the Gabala bowl, and required human sacrifice to maintain balance.
Distribution of forces: warlord Ma Futian leads the bandits to seize the treasure; Lin Yueru, a branch of the Laojiumen, wants to resell cultural relics; German alchemy group von Hoffmann covets skull experiments. Many parties are wrestling with each other, and conspiracies arise one after another.
Core theme: the conflict between exploration and taboo, revealing the game of greed and redemption. Historical grudges (such as the revenge of Yehenara clan) form a causal cycle, showing human struggle and moral choices in a horror and suspense tone.
