Three hundred years ago, the Dragon Locked Corpse King woke up, and overnight, hundreds of ghosts walked at night.
Chen Qingxuan, a scholar in Black Rock City, just wanted to bury his head in the pile of old papers, but he didn't know that he had the blood of the "Mausoleum Keeper" and was the only key to sense the cause and effect that spanned three hundred years. When an undead corpse suddenly appears in the city, he discovers that the "Secret Record of Zombie Suppression" passed down by his ancestors is not a legend about strange monsters, but a fate that he cannot escape.
Side by side with him is Su Wuying, a six-door female catcher who believes in swords and logic; leading him forward is Yun Yizi, a mysterious Taoist who is both good and evil.
And what they have to face is not only the surging tide of corpses, but also the thousand-year-old corpse king Murong Ke who was betrayed by the dynasty and turned into "indestructible bones". His hatred is enough to overturn mountains and rivers. But beneath his madness lies a tragic truth that has been deliberately erased.
What's even more frightening is that a pair of black hands in the dark named "Burial Earth" are trying to use the power of the Corpse King to corrode the dragon's veins and disrupt the world.
Chen Qingxuan must make a choice: follow the ancestral precepts and suppress Murong Ke forever? Or should he embark on a more dangerous road of atonement, help the corpse king recover his remains, and resolve the blood feud that has been accumulated for three hundred years?
When the fates of the descendants of the Corpse Suppressor intertwine with those of the Thousand-Year-Old Corpse King, a netherworld epic concerning the survival of the world and the redemption of the soul begins.
