Although the Wu family is a family of tomb robbers, it hides a fatal secret - starting from Wu Sansheng's grandfather's generation, no male in the family has lived past fifty, and their deaths are strange: they all have ulcers in their hearts and bleeding from their seven orifices, as if they were gnawed to death by some invisible force. This is the "blood curse backlash" caused by the "blood curse backlash" spread among the tomb robbers that "digging graves damages one's moral character".
When Wu Sansheng was young, he witnessed his father (Wu Yan's great-grandfather) die suddenly at the age of forty-seven. The death condition was exactly the same as that of his ancestors. Before his death, his father clutched half of a broken jade pendant, leaving only three broken words: "Ziwu Valley, Samsara Mirror, and Curse Breaking." In order to find out the truth, Wu Sansheng spent half his life collecting clues, and finally learned from a fragment of the "Mirror Secret Records" unearthed from an ancient tomb in the Tang Dynasty: Ziwu Valley contains an ancient divine object, the Mirror of Reincarnation, which is rumored to be able to "reverse cause and effect and rewrite life and death." It is the only hope to break the blood curse. The fear of death and the obsession with the survival of the family made Wu Sansheng decide that "obtaining the Mirror of Reincarnation" was the only way to survive. Even though Ziwu Valley was remote and dangerous, he still insisted on breaking through. After Wu Sansheng arrived at Ziwu Valley with thirty elite men, he quickly found the Shoujing tribe's village. He originally wanted to use heavy money or force to coerce the Shoujing clan into handing over the Mirror of Reincarnation, but he did not expect that the Shoujing clan was strong-willed and regarded the Mirror of Reincarnation as "the embodiment of the laws of heaven and earth" and firmly believed that "if the mirror is with the clan, the mirror will perish and the clan will perish." The patriarch clearly told him: "The mirror of reincarnation is not a life-extending thing, but a 'recorder of sins.' Your Wu family's blood curse is the retribution for digging graves and killing your ancestors. It can only be solved by accumulating good deeds and atonement. Those who force the mirror will suffer backlash. He firmly believed that the Mirror Shou clan was concealing the truth, so he ordered the massacre of the Shou Mirror clan members, and three generations of sins were owed!"
