Beneath the pyramid lies a living corpse from five thousand years ago.
Hu Bayi, a tomb-raiding captain, sneaks into the forbidden zone at Giza, expecting a routine job, but discovers a colossal lie five thousand years in the making. An unrotting corpse opens its eyes and speaks.
A copper talisman not made by human hands and a traitor's mark on his palm that will not wash away reveal a secret plot spanning five thousand years. A millennia-old organization called the Dark Sect has been carving ancient inscriptions, grinding down totems, and burning true history, systematically erasing every trace of China overseas.
Corrupt the cultural lineage, nurture the barbarians, divide the land: the three-step plan to destroy China has been underway for five thousand years.
The traitor's mark on Hu Bayi's palm is the Dark Sect's secret sigil, a beacon that burns whenever he reaches a tampered ruin.
The Northern School locates ley lines with geomantic compasses, the Southern School deciphers silk manuscripts, antique dealers and informants identify and track artifacts, and mysterious experts use Qilin blood to clear the way. A secretive organization that has guarded the truth for a thousand years, the Xuanwei Bureau, is awakening.
Beneath Guixu, the mountains and seas return to their source.
The pyramid is an ancient Chinese architecture 👍
