In the Gengzi year of the late Qing Dynasty, the world was in chaos and ancient tombs were robbed. Lin Yanqiu, a modern archaeological student, was reborn as a descendant of a poor family in Luoyang. In order to save his relatives, he accidentally found a Luoyang shovel with the word "Lin" engraved on it - it was actually transformed by Lin Mo, a descendant of a family of tomb robbers. The two were accidentally bound to the dual systems of "Finding the Pulse of Gold" and "Forging the Spirit of the Tool", allowing them to communicate spiritually and explore the tomb together.
On one side is a prudent and rational archeology student with the ambition to protect the treasure, and on the other side is the unruly and good thief trapped in the shovel. The two have gone from "people and shovels fighting each other" to being dependent on each other for life and death. They use the power of the system to break quicksand, dismantle mechanisms, and fight corpses. They must not only fight against foreign expeditions that covet cultural relics, but also beware of the evil forces of tomb robbers who collude with foreign enemies. From the Han Tombs in Luoyang to the Tang Tombs in Guanzhong, and then to the Dragon Vein Secret Cave in Dunhuang, they guarded China's treasures while robbing tombs to survive, and gradually uncovered the century-old secrets related to the "Kunlun Dragon Vein" behind their rebirth and system binding.
