The Strange Tales of Nanyang

In the 1980s, turmoil swept Southeast Asia, and disaster struck the South Seas. To evade the assassins sent by enemies lurking in the shadows, Bai Chuan, a psychic and gu master, concealed his identity and vanished into the bustling streets of Hong Kong, where he went into the boat business, taking people out fishing and hunting. But he soon learned that no one in the underworld can simply walk away. One sinister figure after another emerged from the shadows, following his trail to Hong Kong in hopes of using him to find the long-lost Map of the Sea Treasury. They dreamed of claiming the seven treasure tombs from the voyages of Zheng He. Though Bai Chuan wanted nothing more than to leave the world behind, he could never truly escape. From then on, he traveled between Taiwan, the South Seas, and Japan, tracing the routes of Zheng He's seven voyages and embarking on a strange journey to find the Ming dynasty's treasure tombs. Dragon Pit and Scorpion Basin, Hualien's Sacred Dock, the suspected tomb at Batu, Japanese Shinto, South Island sorcery, earthbound ghosts, the Flower God's Immortal Dock, black-robed evil monks, Buddhist children, the Dan people of the South Seas... One eerie tomb and bizarre secret after another came to light. As Bai Chuan journeyed between sea and sky, he unwittingly uncovered a century-old conspiracy and its buried secrets!
