Though Chen Sanxiao used the power of the Wuhou turtle shell to light the Seven-Star Seed Lamp in a suspicious tomb in Hanzhong, temporarily ending his own “living corpse calamity,” the rotting flesh and the black hair sprouting over his body have stopped troubling him. Yet the words “Mountain of Ten Thousand Gods” and “Land of the Western Mother” that suddenly appeared on the last page of the "Lantern-Seeker’s Notes", along with half of the tattered sheepskin map of Kunlun in the Far West passed down in secret by his ancestors, have hooked his heart again just when he’d finally begun to relax. The curse’s source remains uneliminated, and he can’t rest easy until it is. So he calls on his three comrades-in-arms, Qingfengzi, A Duo, and Zhao Hu, gathers their tomb-raiding gear, leaves the warm lands of the Central Plains, and sets off through wind and dust for the Kunlun Snow Mountains, famed as the “spine of heaven and earth” and the repository of ancient secrets.
