Curse of the Tomb Emperor

In order to rescue the missing students, archeology professor Chen Yan was forced to break his family's vow to "never enter a tomb" and step into the ancient tombs of the Shang and Zhou dynasties at the border of Shaanxi and Gansu. What awaited him was not an ordinary underworld weapon, but a dragon-patterned tripod with pulsating blood, and the strange whispers of the controlled students: "Teacher, we are preparing a 'dismemberment' sacrifice for you." When the giant bronze door slammed shut and the carvings of nine generations of ancestors appeared on the wall, Chen Yan realized that he was the "last sacrifice" in a sacrificial ceremony that lasted for three thousand years. In order to solve his fate, he formed a team with cultural relics investigator Wu Fa and bioarchaeological expert Chen Xue to track down the "Seven Weapons of the Tomb Emperor" scattered across the land of China. From Xiangxi silk scripts to Dunhuang star maps, from the South China Sea Pyramid to the Kunlun Dragon Veins, they discovered that the so-called "Tomb Emperor" was actually an ancient guardian, and the "Zombie Immortal" was just the product of a malfunction in the sealing system. Under the siege and interception of the "Origin Seeking Society", Chen Yan must make a choice on the night of the Seven Stars: Become a sacrifice to end the curse, or inherit the mission and become a new guardian? This suspenseful masterpiece combines the mythology of "The Classic of Mountains and Seas", the bronze civilization of the Shang and Zhou dynasties, and science fiction settings. Under the surface of horror, it explores the profound themes of civilization inheritance and personal destiny. When the final veil is lifted, the true meaning of "sacrifice" will subvert all perceptions.
