Luolong Village, deep in the mountains of southern Sichuan, has carried a bloody taboo for generations. Five hundred years ago, the ancestors of the Su family deceived and locked up the black dragon that protected one side, cut off its horns, gouged out its eyes, and peeled its skin in exchange for the prosperity of the whole village. Before his death, the black dragon cast a curse: the descendants of the Su family will suffer from "green scales that corrode the bones" every fifty years, and the village will face a catastrophe of "walking dragons" that will wipe out the entire village every five hundred years. .
