Journey

Qin Yan, a graduate student in the Department of History, never thought that the bronze compass left behind by his father who had been missing for three years would completely turn his life upside down. This palm-sized ancient disk is covered with green rust, and the dark red bloodstains in the grooves of the Big Dipper are actually showing a strange temperature, which vaguely echoes the family's ancestral death motto of "not living past forty-five." When the compass rotates late at night and points to the Great Tomb of the Western Zhou Dynasty in Guanzhong, the "Blood Contract of Zhou Ling" parchment pops up from the hidden compartment on the bottom of the compass, drawing him into a fateful puzzle that spans a thousand years. In order to find his father's trace, Qin Yan followed Lao Zhou, a veteran tomb robber, deep into the underground secret realm. The centuries-old resentful souls buried in the waist pit and the flowing murderous intention of the sand trap forced him to awaken his ancestral spiritual power, but also made the bloody lines on his left shoulder - the ominous sign of the beginning of the curse - become increasingly clear. In Wuling Mountain in western Hunan, the Miao girl Lin Yuwei used the blue butterfly Gu to drive away evil spirits, but the butterfly pattern backfired due to the forced use of the Gu; under the old city of Loulan in the Western Regions, the secret history mural of the division of tombkeepers revealed the dark past of living people refining corpses; under the Mount Tai Zen Fengcheng, the yin and yang mirror array reflected the ghosts of human obsession, and the team fell into division due to the theft of the Yin Gathering Jade Cong. From the blood contract of the Western Zhou Dynasty to the theft of the soul-suppressing tripod, from the broken coffin of Bai Zong to the appearance of the resentful giant snake, Qin Yan gradually revealed the truth: The Qin family has been the tomb keeper for generations, and he is the last container to suppress the Yin spirits of the earth. When the main war faction initiates the vein-breaking pile ceremony in the Dragon Cave of Zhongnan Mountain, and the seven dragon veins gather together, he must make a choice between the blood curse and the safety of the people. Using the bronze compass as a guide, he will use his life to renew the thousand-year blood contract.
