In an ancient mine in the Qinling Mountains on a rainy night, a strange corpse embedded in the rock wall broke out of the ground - the skeleton glowed with blue phosphorescence, and the finger bones were wrapped with uncorrupted blood-colored silk threads. What is even more bizarre is that nearby villagers were "entrusted with dreams by the dead" one after another. In the dream, they repeatedly murmured "the soul has returned to its place, the yin and yang are in reverse."
As the investigation deepens, Lu Xun is involved in a secret that spans thousands of years: From the incomplete silk books in the Dunhuang Scripture Cave to the base of the bronze sacred tree in Sanxingdui, they are all engraved with strange runes that have the same origin as the spiritual remains; a mysterious organization called the "Remains Collection Department" secretly lays out the plan. They snatch the fragments of the spiritual remains and seem to be performing some kind of taboo ritual; what is even more frightening is that anyone who comes into contact with the spiritual remains will be "haunted" and reenact the death scene of the deceased in hallucinations.
Accompanying Lu Xun are an ancient book restorer who has mastered the secrets of Maoshan Talismans, and a talented young man who can sense the fluctuations of the soul. The three of them formed a temporary team and shuttled through the ancient tombs and urban shadows. When they found the second spiritual remains in the Xisha Shipwreck Tomb, they finally came into contact with the core truth - these remains were not human remains, but the bodies of ancient "spiritual gatekeepers". Once gathered together, they could tear apart the barriers between Yin and Yang.
