In 1937, on the eve of the fall of Peking, a group of national treasure-level cultural relics from the Palace Museum secretly moved southward, known in history as the "Long March of Cultural Relics." Among the mighty escort team, there was an inconspicuous truck, which contained the most mysterious box - not calligraphy and painting porcelain, but a batch of oracle bones and bronze fragments inscribed with pictures and texts from "The Classic of Mountains and Seas". The person guarding this box of cultural relics is Lu Mingqian, a young Forbidden City scholar.
When the convoy traveled to the southwest mountains, they encountered a secret pursuit by an elite Japanese squad. Lu Mingqian originally thought that the enemy was coveting the economic value of the cultural relics, but after a close encounter, he discovered that the opponent's commander could actually read the ancient characters on the oracle bones, and attempted to intercept one of the specific fragments. With the help of a mysterious Miao guide, Lu Mingqian began to decipher the code on the fragments. He was shocked to find that "The Classic of Mountains and Seas" was not a myth invented by the ancients, but an empirical record of ancient geography written in code. The mineral and energy information hidden in it was enough to change the direction of this war. A life-and-death struggle surrounding the origin of civilization, the survival of the family and the country, and the truth of ancient times quietly unfolded in the Shiwan Mountains of the southwest.
