Under the golden land of the Six Dynasties, the imperial state of ten generations, and the prosperity of Jinling City, lies the shocking secret of the Ming Dynasty Dragon Vein. Everyone knows that there are four lines of tomb robbers, but they don't know that there is a line of "Jinling Mausoleum Guards" who have guarded the important national artifacts left by the great ancestor Zhu Yuanzhang for generations, and inherited the ancient skills of the Star Gazing Division to determine the ground lines.
Shen Han, the owner of the used bookstore "Old Papers", is the last descendant of this lineage. On the surface, he is an elegant restorer of ancient books, but in fact he holds the key to the underground palace and shoulders the mission of guarding the dragon veins. An unexpected visit broke his peace - Zhang Manting, a museum cultural relic restorer, brought a bronze fish charm engraved with the Star Observation Department's "ground pattern", revealing the conspiracy of the tomb robbers to covet the "Ding Qin Lock".
This mysterious key, which can both lock and unlock the earth's veins, has been sleeping for hundreds of years. The lost tribesmen at the northern foot of Purple Mountain, the tomb-robbing gang that moved around the Xiaoling Tomb of the Ming Dynasty, and the mysterious blood relatives who were spying in the dark, involved Shen Han and Zhang Manting in a chess game that spanned ancient and modern times. The sound of oars and lights in the Qinhuai River hide fatal murderous intent; the depths of the dragon veins of the Purple Mountain are full of life and death traps.
When the mission of the tomb keeper encounters the family's secret grudges, and when the lines of the bronze fish charm point to the lost secret art of earth veins, Shen Han has to join forces with his infinitely powerful cousin Shi Lei to face the fate of well-equipped tomb robbers who are approaching every step of the way. They not only want to find the "Ding Qin Lock" before the enemy and uncover the secret of the Shuangfeng Pearl, but they also want to protect the ancient power under Jinling City that should not be awakened.
An adventure related to the survival of the dragon's veins and the honor and disgrace of the family begins quietly in the night
