Dreams Through Mountains and Seas

Dreams Tracing the Mountains and Seas weaves a fantastical tale by blending ancient Eastern mythology with modern archaeological expeditions. Young archaeologist Lu Qingya is plagued by strange dreams. Every night, he tumbles into the bizarre world of the Classic of Mountains and Seas, battles strange beasts, and witnesses lost rituals. He once thought they were mere delusions, until a newly unearthed snake-shaped jade pendant from the Hongshan Culture site in Inner Mongolia proved identical in every detail to an ornament worn by a priest in his dreams. The jade pendant became a breach between reality and dreams. The instant his fingertips touched it, the profile of the ancient priest Wu Xuan flashed before him. From then on, his dreams grew ever clearer. It was as if he were inhabiting Wu Xuan, watching the stars wheel overhead and listening to ancient chants. Lu Qingya suddenly realized that the Classic of Mountains and Seas had never been mythology. It was real history, buried beneath the earth, and this jade pendant was forging a connection across time with the shamanic civilization of five thousand years ago. The path to the truth is fraught with danger. A mysterious notebook signed “Wu Yang” leads him to a hidden forum, but also brings a warning from the “Keepers of the Threshold.” When he tries to delve deeper into Wu Xuan's consciousness, the archaeological team's instruments suddenly go haywire, and unfamiliar footprints appear around the edge of the site... An unseen force has already set its sights on him, determined to keep the secrets of history buried forever. From confusion to pursuit, from passively inheriting the past to actively intervening, Lu Qingya embarks on a journey to trace the origins of Chinese civilization. He becomes a bridge between dreams and reality, testing outlandish legends against the evidence and facing enemies who guard forbidden secrets. A shocking mystery surrounding the origins of civilization awaits his own hand to unravel...
