In the autumn of 1931, the Northeast was covered with clouds.
The bayonets of the Kwantung Army shone coldly in the moonlight, but what was more deadly than the bayonets was a group of invisible enemies - the Onmyoji of Japan's Onmyogliao. Led by Abe Sosuke, a descendant of Abe Seimei, they drove a sealing nail into the dragon vein node in an attempt to cut off Tohoku's destiny from the root. Without the Dragon Veins, Northeastern people will become spiritual slaves for generations, and this land will forever lose the backbone of resistance.
In the south of Shenyang City, the old trickster Old Wei visited Beiling on his first night and died tragically at the hands of an Onmyoji. Before his death, he passed the hall token to his disciple Zhao Jiaxing in a dream, and left his last words: Find Zhang Henian in the Taiqing Palace and break the six sealing nails.
Zhao Jiaxing picked up his master's body and embarked on the road of no return. Accompanying him are Sun Guilan, a cold-blooded and taciturn person who is possessed by a snake fairy; Liu Quanfu, who is greedy for money and afraid of death, and protected by a yellow fairy; Bai Cuihua, who is innocent and kind, capable of healing and divination; and Liu Ruyan, a ghost fairy who has been sleeping in Beiling for three hundred years and only protects the place where she is buried. And Zhang Henian, the supervisor of the Taiqing Palace, will become the guide for this group of reckless heroes.
From Shenyang to Qiqihar, from Jiangqiao to Helen, they fought with the Onmyoji and the Kwantung Army, guarding the last vitality of this land amidst the hail of bullets. The artillery fire of September 18th, the smoke of the Jiangqiao Anti-Japanese War, the dark clouds of the Puppet Manchukuo - the wheel of history rolls over everyone's destiny, but they choose to die standing, never kneeling to live.
On New Year's Eve, Shenyang Forbidden City, six magical weapons, the final battle.
This is an epic story about a bunch of little people. They don't believe in destiny, they don't believe in ghosts and gods, they only believe in the land under their feet. When the invaders cut off the roots of this land, they used their own flesh and blood to reattach the roots.
The gathering of six people and the awakening of a nation.
Where the dragon vein is, China is there.
