Description A novel series about the grave-robbing adventures of Wu Xie, a young man hailing from a family that had been tomb-raiders for centuries.

Due to mistakenly "Lighting the Sky Lantern", we had to escape with the jade seal being auctioned. But the subsequent exchange of news surprised both sides! The mysteriously missing archaeological team, Poker-Face's unusual identity, the videotapes received many years in a row... all the secrets end up pointing to the same place! In order to get answers, Wu Xie and Poker-Face split up and lead separate forces to Sichuan and Guangxi. What kind of past does the Zhang family's ancient building constructed in the Yangshi Lei style carry? Is there someone else manipulating things behind the scenes? How will Wu Xie face the tomb that almost destroyed the previous generation of The Mystic Nine? Bloodthirsty hair, moving iron clothes, strange murals... the last step before the end of the puzzle- the answer to all the questions- is just behind this stone wall!
