During the Xinhai era, the Qing court fell and warlords carved up the country. Chen Jiuzhi, the eighteenth-generation heir to the Mojin clan, went into hiding in Liulichang, Beiping, with his family’s Compass for Dividing Gold and Locating Cavities. He used the cover of an antique dealer to conceal his identity. The appearance of a mysterious map drew him into a maelstrom of competing treasure hunters: Beiyang warlords, Japanese ronin, and the occult sects of the martial world. The map pointed to the Xuanyuan Golden Vein, buried for a thousand years and tied to the fate of the nation.
To keep the national treasure out of enemy hands, Chen Jiuzhi allied with a female assassin from the revolutionaries, a former imperial feng shui master, and a righteous thief from the martial world. Together, they ventured into the Qinling dragon vein, stormed the puppet emperor’s palace in Manchuria, and explored the Corpse King’s Tomb in western Hunan, embarking on a thrilling saga of protecting the treasure. As the tide of history sweeps them along, what choices will these tomb raiders make? What sparks will fly when gold and silver collide with duty to the nation?
