In the twenty-seventh year of the Republic, the nation was in turmoil.
After his family fell on hard times, Chen Shan was forced to take up half a copy of The Dragon-Seeking Art left behind by his master, Old Ghost, and enter the tomb-robbing trade, a business that brought bad karma, to save his gravely ill mother.
At the ghost market in Hancheng, he traded his last three silver dollars and a mysterious bronze talisman for a map to an ancient tomb in Yinshan, stained with an ominous aura. Rumor had it that the tomb was the soul vault of a Liao dynasty general, filled with deadly traps and rampaging corpse demons. Three groups of tomb raiders had gone inside, and every last one of them vanished without a trace.
