Three thousand years passed in the blood, and Chen Yan hid in the world with seventy-three identities. He was the last witch doctor in Sanxingdui in the late Shang Dynasty. He once cast a bronze sacred tree with his own hands, witnessed "visitors from outside the world" feeding on souls, and witnessed his mother's decision to seal jade with blood. Xuan Jade Cong hides his immortality curse, and also locks up the darkest secret of ancient Shu - those "alien" who were worshiped as gods were originally interstellar predators who coveted the earth.
When the carbon 14 test of Sanxingdui Sacrificial Pit No. 4 Pointed to the late Shang Dynasty, when the bronze fragments embedded with soul crystals glowed blue in the museum, and when the bronze paw prints of the soul guardians reappeared in the old streets of Chengdu, the nightmare that had escaped for three thousand years was finally awakened. The broken mysterious jade cong is hot on the chest, the mother's soul whispers in the jade cracks, and the soul-inducing thread is not only the essence of the living person, but also the destiny that spans time and space.
From the sacrificial pits at the Jinsha ruins to the secret passages of the Xingqing Palace, from the blind old woman in Luoyang's ghost market to the strange murder of the archaeological team, Chen Yan was forced to pick up the witch doctor's bronze dagger and pursue the truth in the collision of modern technology and ancient Shu witchcraft. Can a blade soaked in divine blood pierce the metal shell of a soul guardian? Will the combination of three jade congs awaken God, or will it reveal the antidote to the blood curse? When the wreckage of the "Tian Zhou" roared underground, he finally understood: Immortality is never a gift, but a redemption that must be completed - using the blood of the Cancong family as a guide, using three thousand years of memory as a sacrifice, to fight against those alien ghosts hidden in the shadows of history.
