Gao Shuai, a graduate of the Department of Archeology, accidentally discovered the encrypted notes left behind by his grandfather (an archaeological team member who disappeared in the last century). He used the ability of "spatial topological memory" to unlock key clues - the yellow intestines in Lop Nur's Thousand Coffins Sand Mountain hide the truth about his grandfather's disappearance. In order to find the answer, he found Zhang Qing, a "country master" who was a veteran, and the two formed a "science + experience" partnership and entered the dangerous no-man's land.
On the way, not only were they chased by the "Shalang Gang", an excavation gang, but they also ran into the tomb keeper Ayiguli - a liberal member of the elite who was seeking help to resolve ethnic conflicts (conservatives obstructed archeology and covered up the shame of "helping the Huns"). As he goes deep into the ancient tomb, Gao Shuai's abilities are repeatedly broken: he restores the camp layout to find traces of attacks, completes the Mohist organ map to break the crossbow formation, analyzes the yellow intestines to assemble the cypress wood inscriptions to locate the star map, but he is also involved in more complex games: the "technical school vs. Traditional school" disagreement between the official archaeological team, the defection of Lao Zhou (to avenge his younger brother) within the Sand Wolf Gang, the "double king system" of Jingjue Kingdom, and the secret history of the Mohist family's westward migration gradually surfaced.
When Zhao Kun, the leader of the Sand Wolf Gang (grandpa's betrayer), brings a gold weapon to trigger the ultimate organ formation, Gao Shuai needs to team up with Zhang Qing (a dagger as an atonement evidence) and Ayiguli (ethnic heritage map) to uncover the truth about his grandfather's murder deep in the ancient tomb where Han and Hu mingle, protect the precious cultural relics dedicated to the Han Dynasty by Jingjue Country, and bring to light the dusty diplomatic history of the Western Regions. This adventure, which began as a search for relatives, eventually became a battle to reveal history and protect civilization across time and space.
