Youlingguixu

Hidden in the uninhabited land of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, the entrance is only opened once every ten years. My name is Shen Yan, a former geological prospector. In order to find my father who has been missing for three years, I broke in with a mixed team - Xu Qiao from the Department of Archeology, Zhao Kuo, a veteran, and a mysterious tomb robber carrying half a jade cong. As soon as we stepped into Youling, the satellite phone was useless, the compass was spinning wildly, and the blizzard completely blocked the way in. What's even more sinister is that some people begin to see the phantoms of deceased relatives, unclaimed candles float in the dark river, and there always seems to be something staring at us in front of the jade niche in the ancient temple. The compass left behind by my father only had two sentences engraved on it: "When you return to the ruins, don't believe in candlelight, and don't touch the jade niche." But the deeper you go, the more you feel that these two sentences are a trap. The ancient murals on the cave walls depict scenes of ancient civilizations using jade congs to seal "return to the ruins". Xu Qiao said that it was not a seal at all, but the key to another world. Zhao Kuo suddenly confessed that he was a descendant of the Ling Shou people, saying that my father was not missing at all, but was being hunted by an organization called the "Tracing Society." And that tomb robber was actually related to my father's exploration team back then. The giant shadow under the underground river, the weird roar in the ice crevices, the deeper and deeper marks of Guixu... Every step we take is one step closer to the truth and one step closer to death. My father's diary said: "There is another me in the deep mountains." But now I suspect that it is not my father who is missing, but ourselves. Is this adventure a search for relatives, or a sacrifice that has been arranged long ago?
