Synopsis

Xi’an Ghost Market, 2004.

Chen Qingyan, a down-on-his-luck antiques appraiser, unexpectedly recognizes an excavated soul-calming bell. It bears the same coiling-dragon pattern as the black jade cicada his father left behind.

Twelve years ago, the Chen family fell into ruin over a mysterious Qin artifact, and his parents vanished under strange circumstances. Twelve years later, half of a black jade cicada reappears in Qin Chuan, bringing with it a forbidden saying: When the black cicada appears, the dragon bones will awaken.

Death’s Ravine, the soul-calming bell, the dragon veins of Qin lands, an unmarked ancient tomb, dragon bones a thousand years old...

Chen Qingyan only wanted to solve the mystery of his parents’ disappearance, but he is dragged into an underground labyrinth coveted by tomb raiders, antiques dealers, feng shui masters, and yin-yang practitioners alike.

When the compass spins backward and the tomb gate opens, he finally discovers:

What lies buried beneath the Qin Chuan plateau isn’t a tomb at all.

It’s a scheme that has waited a thousand years.
