The deep mountains of western Hunan conceal secrets, while an ancient village has guarded its ancestral spirits for a thousand years.
Wang Yong, a young man from Tujia’ao, is forced onto a perilous path when an ancient bronze White Tiger Pendant reappears. The Gu formations of Snake Valley, the flames of Blazing Heaven Cliff, the undead soldiers in the ancient tomb: behind every deadly step lies the thousand-year-old Tujia duty to protect their people and suppress evil.
Luo Blindman, the obsessive descendant of the tomb’s guardian; Granny Tian, the mysterious Tima shaman; and the loyal, hot-blooded young men of the village join forces to gather the twin talismans, the White Tiger Pendant and the Tomb-Suppressing Tiger Tally, and confront the evil at the heart of the tomb and the schemes of the surviving Snake Hall. The Time-Wheel Talisman reveals traces of kinship, while ancestral spirits appear as fragments of the past. His father’s disappearance, Luo’s mother’s wrongful conviction, and Granny Tian’s secrets are all closely tied to this ancient pendant, which holds ripples of time and space.
The twin talismans resonate and shatter the evil spirits; the altar reveals traces of the past. When the source of the evil is finally subdued and Snake Hall destroyed, an even deeper mystery emerges: what clan secret lies at the end of the turning Time Wheel? And whose disguise is revealed by those cautious warnings?
A thousand-year legacy of protection, an adventure woven with family ties and obsession: in the misty mountains of western Hunan, the final act begins.
