On a rainy night, Chen Yue received a call that his mother was in critical condition - the surgery cost 300,000 yuan.
Desperate, he pried open the iron box left by his father. There were only three things in it: a notebook with last words, a yellowed photo, and a copper coin from the Tang Dynasty engraved with the four words "Kunlun Hermitage" in red.
When he was twelve years old, his father Chen Guoliang mysteriously disappeared in western Hunan. Everyone said he fell to death, except his mother who didn't believe it.
Now Chen Yue knows the truth: his father is not dead, he is trapped in a thousand-year-old tomb, waiting for someone to rescue him.
That person must be Chen Yue - because he is a rare "yin and yang evil fate" that is rare in thousands of years. He can sense evil spirits invisible to ordinary people and hear the whispers of the dead souls in the tombs.
From then on, Chen Yue carried Lao Wang's compass on his back and walked into one strange underground world after another with half of the lost secrets of Feng Shui. The mercury corpses of wealthy businessmen in the Ming Dynasty, the blood curses in the tombs of nobles in the Tang Dynasty, the Nine Heavenly Secret Halls deep in the Kunlun Mountains...
There is a piece of heaven in each tomb, and each piece points to a shocking secret: the Hermitage, the descendants of the Shang Dynasty, and Chen Yue's true life experience.
Some people want to kill him, some want to use him, and some people protect him with their lives.
This is a layout that spans three thousand years. And he is both a chess piece and the one who breaks the game.
