After a century of drought in Longyou, the loess plateau cracked like bloodied earth. Lin Mo, a country boy, carried his family's tattered ancestral scroll, The Dragon Sutra of the Earth's Veins, along with a compass and Five Emperors' Coins, and left home for the city of Jiangzhou to find a cure for his gravely ill grandfather. Dressed in a coarse blue robe, he made a living selling his services outside the City God Temple. Using his secret feng shui arts to dispel evil and drive out demons, he soon drew the hostility of con artists and the oppression of criminal gangs.
Fortunately, he became sworn brothers with Zhao Hu, a veteran, and crossed paths with three women who would become his confidantes: Su Qingyue, a rich heiress; Qin Lan, a formidable businesswoman; and Bai Zhi, an inheritor of traditional Chinese medicine. Together, they faced one peril after another. From breaking the sinister curse in an ancient tomb beneath a new housing development, to exposing the schemes of a fake master, to seeking the complete secret canon of Longhu Mountain, Lin Mo held fast to his ancestral maxim, “Mystic arts must never deceive the poor,” amid the pursuit of fame and fortune. Through his battles between good and evil, he awakened the power to protect the dragon veins.
When the Kunlun Earth Vein Alliance emerged from the shadows and the dragon veins across the land teetered on the brink of disaster, this humble mystic master from the loess plateau would wield the tattered scroll as his blade and loyalty as his shield. He would cross the Kunlun Mountains and Qinling Mountains to protect the people, and write a legendary journey from country-born heir to grandmaster of the mystic arts.
