The Ai Lao Ghost Eyes Recorded at That Time

Song Jin, a history graduate student who is about to graduate, is always haunted by his great-great-grandfather's last words before his death: "No graves in western Yunnan can be dug." The sand in the coffin in Heishagou, the bone-eating Gu worms, and half a piece of bronze fragment stained with fishy smell have become taboos that three generations of the Song family dare not touch. Until he picked up a deer-patterned bronze mirror in the back of the school, strange things happened one after another: the copper surface was hot in the middle of the night, the lingering snake-shaped red mark on his wrist, and the black sand inexplicably appeared in front of Professor Chen's grave. What shocked him even more was that the bronze mirror was exactly the same as the "sand of the Republic of China was used as a Dian Dynasty artifact that was lost in a fire" in his great-grandfather's notes. In order to find out the truth, he roped in Fatty Lu, the heir to the "Lu Hai Cang Zhen" store, a fat boy who was always greedy for money but always able to find out at critical moments, and followed the clues to Cangshan Mountain in Yunnan. Strange things continued along the way: the bronze pillars in the Panzhihua mine that could "swallow people", the wood carvings with the same pattern as the bronze mirrors in the Dali grocery store, the mysterious old man who guided the way in the fog but hid the secret of a severed finger, and the recurring phrase "There is fog in Cangshan, so you can distinguish the sand under your feet." They didn't know that from the moment they touched the bronze mirror, they had entered a game that spanned four generations. The Gu Tombs stolen by Grandpa Lu and Grandpa Lu, the map of Diancang Mountain drawn by Professor Chen before his death, and the bronze box with the same origin as the Song compass in Jiuzhi's hand all point to the tomb of the Dian King deep in Ailao Mountain. And that bronze mirror is not only the key to open the Mu Cave, but also a token for the mysterious organization to select the "successor". This organization originated from the alchemists seeking alchemy in the Tang Dynasty. Two factions have been fighting for thousands of years. One faction seizes the dragon veins for those in power, and the other adheres to the way of nature.
