Lu Chen is just an inconspicuous temporary surveyor at the Ancient Building Surveying and Mapping Company.
It wasn't until his grandfather died that he received a strange commission.
In a century-old house, every early morning, someone outside the door would say one sentence repeatedly -
"Give me my place back."
There was no dead person in the house, and there was never anyone outside the door.
But under the threshold, Lu Chen found a bluestone that was supposed to be buried in an ancient tomb thirty kilometers away.
There are only five words on the stone:
When the dragon enters the city, the dead come first.
And these words are exactly the same as those left by my grandfather before he died.
From that day on, Lu Chen discovered that there was another map hidden under this seemingly ordinary modern city.
An ancient river channel held down by bridge piers.
An ancient city that disappeared from local chronicles.
A tombstone that changed its name overnight.
Villages that never existed but were buried underground.
A hotel that changes the flow of people, a tunnel that cuts through the mountains, a railway that deviates from its original site, and a city without a northern gate...
All clues ultimately point to a mysterious organization that has existed for hundreds of years - the Earth Master Association.
They searched for twelve breaking points of the dragon vein, trying to complete a layout that could change the future of twelve cities:
Twelve dragon games.
And Lu Chen gradually discovered that the secret that his grandfather had concealed his whole life, his father's disappearance nineteen years ago, and his innate ability to "listen to dragons" were all related to the legend beyond the Twelve Dragons.
The Thirteenth Dragon.
But no one told him——
Every time he heard about the dragon, he would lose a piece of his own memory.
When all the twelve dragons woke up, and when everyone was looking for the thirteenth dragon, Lu Chen discovered that they were looking for the wrong one from the beginning.
The Thirteenth Dragon is never between mountains and rivers.
And in the human mind.
