Dengxiaxu

Pei Shen was a nineteen-year-old scholar who opened an antique shop with his father in Qingxi County. His biggest plan in this life is to sell the scrap metal in the shop at a good price and then marry Lu Qingmiao from the medical clinic next door. Until my father received a Chinese lantern. The lamp holder is a kneel to ward off evil spirits. Eight characters are engraved on the base: Illuminate the Nine Netherworlds, do not shine under the lamp. That night he had a dream. In the boundless darkness, a green light hung, and under the light sat several faceless shadows. When he woke up, there was a pool of blood on the desk and a flame mark on his chest. The tomb robber who sold lamps died at home that night, his face full of fear, and not a single candle was left burning in the house. Only then did Pei Shen know that this lamp could take him to a place - Dengxia Ruins. There, he met a noble girl from Luo Jing, a businessman from Lingnan, and a young man holding fire underground. They were tied together by the same lamp, exchanging information and each had their own thoughts. He originally thought that it would be enough to investigate a strange death case. But the case gets deeper and deeper: the cult is looking for this lamp, and something that has been sealed underground for two thousand years is awakening. Pei Shen doesn't want to be a hero. He just wants to live, open a shop, and marry people. But there are some things that when the light shines on him, he has no choice but to pretend he didn't see them.
