The Chongqing School's Tomb-Raiding Notes

[Tomb raiding + wild mystery twists + horror + the uncanny + treasure appraisal + sci-fi] (Tomb raiding is illegal.) Su Mo, a veteran tomb raider, and his fat cat discover a foreign immortal zombie seeking eternal life in an ancient tomb in Tongliang. A longevity mirror then leads them to the tomb of Ran Yu, sister of the immortal Ran Yi.

Thus, the gates to the world beneath the tombs are thrown open: the base of a camel coffin, a coffin formation modeled on the six stars of the Southern Dipper, the Eight Trigrams Formation of Kongming, the Mohist spirit-suspending ladder, and many other deadly mechanisms.

Strange creatures once thought dead return to the world: Dragon King Ginseng, resurrection snakes, black-scaled tortoise shells, Divine King Snakes, Three Corpse Worms, and Rebirth Grass.

Along the way, they battle dried corpses, seize firearms, outwit dragons and phoenixes, turn tigers against wolves, deliver messages for fox spirits, brave a pack of clouded leopards, stumble into Daban Camp, burn down a priest's tomb, fight a formation of zombies, outwit the Eight Trigrams Formation, spend the night in Widow Village, and set a copper-armored snake ablaze... Every step is perilous, and every challenge formidable.

Three-legged golden toads, silver-pipe and gold-bead echo hairpins, golden-thread pagoda lantern pendants, silk and white jade combs carved with returning phoenixes, Dali camellia agate tassels, Uyghur glass crowns, white jade trees, bronze-framed embroidered beds, and even the He Shi jade used to make the Imperial Seal, along with countless other rare and exotic treasures, appear one after another.
