Pan Chongben is an ordinary antique restorer in the city. He spends his days in the company of broken porcelain, broken jade, rusty copper and rotten wood. His fingertips are rubbing artifacts that are thousands of years old, and the fireworks in the modern market are circulating in front of his eyes. He guarded an inconspicuous old shop and lived an ordinary life of working nine to five, earning daily necessities of food, rice, oil and salt. Little did he know that his bloodline had already been imprinted with the secret imprint of being a tombkeeper for generations.
An ordinary antique restoration, a rusty bronze key, accidentally tore the boundary between the stability of the world and the mystery of the underground. Under the bricks and tiles of ordinary streets, there is a network of tombs that spans thousands of years; in the neon lights and shadows of modern cities, the feng shui aura of ancient tombs is hidden. Pan Chong was forced to step into the underground world that had long been dusted by time, from the fireworks in the streets to the underworld mausoleum. Between the trivialities of modern life and the magnificence of classical tombs, he embarked on an unprecedented road of exploring tombs.
There are nine secret tombs in nine states. Each tomb contains the rise and fall of dynasties, strange secrets and unexplained anecdotes. He used modern knowledge to decipher ancient mechanisms, used market wisdom to deal with the secrets in tombs, let the light of his mobile phone illuminate thousand-year-old murals, used modern logic to interpret classical prophecies, and brought the smoke and fire of the world into the dead silence.
Along the way, there are the ties of relatives and friends in the world, the pursuit of underground shadows, the mysteries of classical mysteries, and the collision of modern thinking. Pan Chong explores step by step, not only to decipher the shocking secrets in the nine tombs, but also to uncover the truth about his own bloodline, to find his own way between the stability of the world and the mysterious mission, so that the silence of the thousand-year-old tombs can once again make shocking waves in the modern world.
