In 1970, there was an undercurrent of black market activity in Weixian County, Shandong Province.
The words "Crouching Tiger Ridge, Yelu Pai Mausoleum, and Pine Key" on a piece of paper allowed Lu Chenzhou, who held the ancestral compass, Lao Zheng, who understood the mechanisms of the Liao tomb, Shen Wenjing, who carried the tomb fragments, and five companions with their own unique skills to form a temporary expedition team.
They hid explosives in vegetable baskets, wrapped copper wire in gauze, and risked their lives to break into the militia guard post just to steal a gilt belt buckle with seven turquoise stones embedded in it. It was not only Shen Wenjing's brother's life-saving money, but also the only key to unlocking the traces of the tomb of the King of Liao.
But under the red soil of Crouching Mountain, in addition to the rammed earth barriers and deadly mechanisms of the thousand-year-old Liao Mausoleum, there are also unknown secret sentinels of peers and Khitan secrets that have been sleeping for nearly a thousand years.
When the seven beads are combined and the stone box is opened, will they find wealth or the abyss leading to hell?
An obsession that spanned ten years, an adventure in which life was exchanged for treasure, and a mysterious legend deep in Liaoling.
