Three hundred years ago, at the end of the Ming Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, Zhang Xianzhong was defeated in Sichuan.

Three hundred years later, the State Administration of Cultural Heritage secretly formed the "Five Elements Tracking" team. On the surface, it was to conduct rescue archaeological excavations in conjunction with the construction of a hydropower station in southwest China. In fact, it was to find the legendary treasures and the historical truth hidden behind them before foreign forces did.
