The Seven Silver Arts

[Hardcore Historical Mystery + International Contest Between Good and Evil]

[Archaeological Mystery, Respecting History, No Tomb Raiding]

In 1646, Zhang Xianzhong, leader of a peasant uprising at the end of the Ming dynasty, was ambushed by Southern Ming general Yang Zhan at the mouth of the Min River in Sichuan. He suffered a crushing defeat, and countless treasure-laden ships were sunk. This gave rise to the legend of silver buried beneath the waters of Jiangkou. For three hundred years, no one managed to carry away even a single piece of gold or silver.

In 1902, Sven Hedin led his fourth Asian expedition. In an endless desert, he discovered a mysterious wooden box containing a parchment scroll. Its contents were the "Seven Silver Secrets": "The mirror is supreme; the keys are divided into yin and yang. Yang guards the Nine Palaces; yin protects the Eight Wastes." This was the first time the secret of the Seven Silvers came to light.

From the 1990s onward, more and more treasure seekers went to the Min River to salvage and plunder the treasures from Zhang Xianzhong's sunken ships. The treasure connected to seven oddly shaped silver ingots recovered from the river became a new target for tomb raiders. Numerous foreign forces also joined the race to unravel the mystery of the Seven Silvers.

Yang Dianfeng, a computer science prodigy at a top-tier university, was accidentally kidnapped by a tomb-raiding gang. He was arrested and recruited, and somehow ended up leading an archaeological exploration team. From then on, he was drawn into a fierce struggle against foreign tomb raiders and embarked on a bizarre adventure shrouded in mystery.
