The plot has ups and downs and constant conflicts. From the exploration of mysterious ancient tombs in the underworld to the battle of wits and courage with the evil forces in the upper world, every scene is described vividly, making readers feel as if they are actually there. The characters are vivid and full-bodied, and the eldest brother's affection, justice, decisiveness and ruthlessness are deeply portrayed.
