In the 1970s and 1980s, Lin Changsheng, a young man with family feud and memories of his past life, followed Liu, a half-blind Feng Shui master, on the dangerous journey to Yunnan's Ghost Howling Ridge. What they were looking for was not only the Wu Chengye Water Palace that contained the "Ghost Eye" secret treasure, but also the truth about the mysterious death of Lin Changsheng's parents.
In this improvised team, there is Wang Tiezhu, a veteran from the Northeast who is strong but thoughtful, Chen Jingzhi, an archaeological researcher who carries "The Bamboo Book of the Dian Kingdom" but is timid, and Mark, a foreign cultural relic dealer with unknown motives and ruthless intentions. On the way, they encounter the "man-eating soil" that can swallow people, the "evil corpse vine" that haunts souls and kills people, and in Heizhu Village, they meet the mysterious guide Amo who is taciturn and wears an ancient black gold sword at his waist. This young man who was adopted by the village chief seems to be hiding secrets related to the Water Palace.
From the howling ghost ridge to the eerie Chuanyun Cave, from the legend of the "soul-eating worm" spoken by old man Li, who fished for corpses in the Duhun Village, to the "evil-suppressing wall" embedded with skulls in the mass graves of the Qing Dynasty, every step is on the edge of life and death. The mystery of the Northern School's gold-finding captain Hei Laosan's burial in the Water Palace, the centuries-old grudge between the Southern School's Feng Shui and the Northern School's skills, the dark shadow of the "grave guardian spirit" who specializes in luring living people into the tomb, and the mysterious woman Su Mei who is always lurking in the dark and covets the "ghost eye", all involve this team in a deeper conspiracy.
The "Notes on the Search for the Tomb" in the hand of the blind man Liu is the only guide. The earth scroll distinguishes the earth, the shadow scroll cuts off the evil spirits, and the warning text on the page changes color with the danger, indicating that the curse of "can only enter but not exit" in the water palace is not a lie.
