They were in an area with a large amount of unmined snake-eye stones. Zhang Qishan asked what the song that was still being sung was. Qi Tiezui replied that it is called "Splitting the Big Coffin." He said that it sounds like Er Yuehong but there were some mistakes. Qi Tiezui jumped into the water and saw hanged bodies just like in the vision of the weasel spirit.

Behind the dead bodies was a huge immortal gate with a huge stone tablet in front of it that said: Five Hundred Dragons. It was an ancient tomb.

The Shadow in the Water

**The Shadow in the Water** is the fifth chapter in the novel *Cavern of the Blood Zombies*.

## Synopsis

Upon hearing that there maybe something bigger in the water the corpse-eaters were fleeing from, the team made plans to leave the cave. As they decided this, the sound of someone talking was heard again. Everyone's attention, except for Qiling's, was solely focused on the sound. Qiling then kicked everyone into the water and the sound lost its compelling power over them. They all remain submerged until Wu Xie could no longer hold his breath and stuck his head out of the water to find a bloody face hanging upside down in mid-air. It was the boatman but only the upper-half of him. Where his body ended, was a huge corpse-eating insect gnawing down on him.

Pan Zi then emerged from the water and gained the attention of the corpse-eater which squeaked. It hurled itself off the dead body, landed on top of Pan Zi's head and buried a pincerlike leg into his scalp. Pan Zi used his army knife to bury it in the insect, it shrieked. He then inadvertently launched the bug towards Wu Xie. The corpse-eater immediately tore a chunk of skin from Wu Xie's face and hooked its barbed pincerlike claws into his flesh.

Qiling emerged from the surface and attacked the bug on Wu Xie and ripped out the ganglia of the bug's central nervous system, paralyzing it. They discovered it had a sealed hexagonal copper bell, the size of a fist, with engraved incantations that covered all six sides embedded in its tail. Pan Zi kicked the bug and the bell made the talking noise the group had heard earlier. This time the bell was not hypnotic and likely needed the vast echo from within the cavern. Pan Zi kicked it again and the copper casing broke revealing a stinking green liquid inside. Inside were many small bells the size and shape of a honeycomb and a green centipede. Its head was smashed flat with green liquid squeezed out from its finger sized body. There was a tube connected to the corpse-eater where the centipede would travel through and eat from the bug's stomach. Pan Zi noted that it's unlikely that size of a bug was able to tear a man apart so there is probably more than one of them in the cave.

They used the bug to get out of the cave safely. Wu Xie wondered how the robbers' tunnel was excavated since it would take so many people. Uncle Three believed it to be done by a military. He also believed that the water robbers' cavern was already there when the tomb owner built his tomb, since the cavern is on the map from the Warring States Silk Book. This is also means that the corpse eaters with the hexagonal wind chimes were there before the Warring States Period. Wu Sanxing was at a loss because building a tomb where so many robbers' tunnel were was a huge violation of Feng Shui. As they were talking they entered the dumping ground for corpses.

Tree of Death (Chapter)

**Tree of Death** is the eighteenth chapter in the novel *Cavern of the Blood Zombies.*

## Synopsis

At the end of the tunnel they traveled through was a small ledge that Wu Xie, Wang Pangzi, and Pan Zi were able stand on. They oversaw a large cavern and were hundreds of feet up. In the middle of the large cavern was a tree that stood at least 10 stories high. Pangzi noted that they were in the main chamber of the tomb where the tomb owner should be. He started to climb down when a hand grabbed at his leg. It turned out to be Uncle Three and Big Kui who were down below on a different protruding cliff. Uncle Three warned them not to touch the vines which Pangzi gestured towards. The vine started to imitate Pangzi's movements. Pangzi started dancing and testing the vine. Wu Xie thought he was crazy and it is no wonder he is alone. If he stuck with him he was going to get all of them killed.

The vine wrapped around Pangzi's leg and Wu Xie looked around to find something to help him. He suddenly felt a pressure on his leg when he was hurled into midair. He was dragged around by the vine and not one part of his body escaped the impact. He was hanging upside down on one of the branches on the massive tree. Below him was a stone platform with two corpses. There was a female corpse with no signs of decay and a male corpse with a bronze mask with a face of a fox. His eyes were a green color. In his hands was a box made of purple-enameled gold. Wu Xie stared at his green eyes with an uneasy feeling.

Temple of Seeds

**Temple of Seeds** is the third chapter in the novel *Cavern of the Blood Zombies.*

## Synopsis

Once Wu Xie shows the pictures to his uncle, it is clear that the writing describes the location and geography of a tomb. The complexity of the script map on a piece of silk and the foxlike face mask indicate that the tomb owner had a high status. Wu Xie convinced his uncle to let him join but he was to stay above ground and obey his uncle's commands. Uncle Three made plans to hire a few experienced men and asked Wu Xie to buy expensive equipment.

Three days later, Wu Xie, Uncle Three, Panzi, Big Kui and Qiling traveled to the cave on the map. After arriving in a far off place, they were told by an old man that they had to wait for a boatman who could take them across the river. The boatman had a dog, named Donkey Egg, would swim in the waters and bring the boat to the dock. The boatman was not working when the they arrived and was the only one in the area who could cross the river. The old man told the group a story how a traveling salesman, the boatman's great-grandfather, was the only person who could go in and out of the cave without being harmed. From that day on, only the traveling salesman's family (and the family dog) went to the cave unharmed.

Uncle Three became suspicious of the story and smelled the dog. The dog had grew up eating dead human meat which also meant that the boatman was fed dead human meat as well. The cave was likely filled with people's carcasses. Uncle Three asked the old man about the boatman's family background and the old man was evasive and told Donkey Egg to get the boat. Uncle Three then warned Wu Xie that the old man was not to be trusted.

However, Qiling stopped him and said that the woman was not a zombie, do the donkey hoof wouldn't work.Qiling proceeded to use the ancient weapon he bought from Sanxing to cut open the back of his hand and let his blood drip into the water.

The West Sea's Falling Cloud Country (Chapter)

**The West Sea's Falling Cloud Country** is the twelfth chapter of the novel *Restart (Chong Qi).*

## Synopsis

They all attentively listened to Jin Wantang tell the legend of Tianmu. Tianmu chased a cloud that held a mirage all the way to Western China. Once he sailed into the mirage, he found a country that was called the West Sea’s Falling Cloud Country. The monarch of this country, named King Qin Huang, said that he was a prince of the State of Qin. After his death, he was named the West Sea’s Immortal King, so he established the Falling Cloud Country.

Jin Wantang suggested that West Sea's Falling Cloud Country could be the same country as Queen of the West's but Wu Xie didn't believe it could be since the records of all the western countries at that time were myths. He also believed alchemists were liars who shouldn't be trusted. However, Jin Wantang noted that Tianmu is one the people on the murals. And even if the murals tell of a myth, they will still have the tomb owner’s visage on them but since Tianmu is painted so small, he cannot be the tomb owner. They looked to see who was painted the biggest and it was a person who wore a complicated headdress and luxurious clothes. He had a lot of ears painted on one side of his head. It seemed to be King Qin Huang. Wu Xie wondered whether the corpse in the coffin was him. He also thought the murals and the corpse came from his tomb.

The Yang family robbed graves by listening to thunder and may have found the West Sea's Falling Cloud Country. However, if King Qin Huang didn't appear in any records, his name could have been a pseudonym. They heard popping noises coming from Qiling who was using bone contraction to go down into the well. Qiling found a land deed which could tell who owned the tomb.

The Yang Family's Tomb

**The Yang Family's Tomb** is the ancestral tomb of Yang Daguang and his family.

## Appearance & Structure

The tomb had inscriptions for many Yang family members at the entrance. The tomb's layout was chaotic, with Western-style patterns and glazed tiles that had been pressed out by high-tech machines. The tomb had murals on the four walls and because of their age, they were mottled but not yet oxidized. The murals dark clouds, lightning strikes, and thunder gods painted on them. They were covered in egg whites to prevent their oxidation. The murals were stolen from a Song dynasty tomb.

At the lower end of the mural, there were countless rocks, trees, and pavilions set up in the mountains. A lot of people in white robes had their ears facing the pavilions in the mountains, as if they were listening to the thunder in the sky. The murals also worked as a rotating door with the shaft being in the middle of the wall.

In the room behind the mural, coffins were half-buried vertically in the wall. The wood was so rotten that bodies could be seen inside which were probably the Yang family. There was a sarcophagus in the middle of the room painted red. The outer wall of the sarcophagus was covered in thunder gods and the coffin lid was engraved with cloud patterns that were coiled to form ears. The characters painted on the mural all had particularly large ears as well.

On top of the sarcophagus was an upside bell embedded at the top of the tomb. The bell was made of copper and was covered in thousands of layers of green and red rust. The bell was a sound amplifier.

## History

Cinnabar was used in the mud that has been lit so that no grass can grow. It is an ancient technique for preserving graves.

When the basin is used to wash the face or limbs, the bather feels like a thousand toads are leaping up at them from the water, making it the perfect combination of form and function. Very few three-tone ceramics survive and this piece could be said to be a true masterpiece.

The Expert Who Nailed the Weasel Spirit

**The Expert Who Nailed the Weasel Spirit** is the sixteenth chapter in the novel *The Mystic Nine (Lao Jiu Men)*.

## Synopsis

Still in the morgue, Zhang Qishan and Lt. Zhang moved over to the body of hanged man from the engine room. They lifted the cover over his body and his two small, weasel-like eyes were open. The eyes moved and looked at the approaching Qishan. Lt. Zhang stepped back and pulled out his gun and aimed it at the body. Qi Tiezui assured him he was dead. He showed them the rest of the body which had 27 coffin nails sticking out of it and symbols had been drawn around the wounds. The Qi family expert sacrificed his life to send the train to Changsha. The expert figured out how long it would take to drive the train back and asked the weasel spirit to help him. Once it entered his body, he used the coffin nails to seal it. Qi Tiezui suggested that they take one of the nails out of the coffin so that the weasel spirit will possess him and they can ask it questions.

Lt. Zhang pulled out the coffin nails and the body completely withered. Qi Tiezui seemed fine but one of the other corpses suddenly jerked. They moved over and the body's mouth was open. Qishan grabbed the corpse's chin and squeezed it until something hidden under its tongue was revealed. There was a rotten piece of oracle bone hidden under the tongue. Qishan figured out something and told everyone to find places marked with geological and mineral resources.

Er Yuehong went to his training room to find the box full of thimbles which had been placed in an insert. The insert had several grids, many of which were empty. The bottom of each grid had been painted with a flower pattern. He compared the flower pattern on the thimble to the patterns on the bottom of the grids and found a blank space that had the same pattern.

The Ancient Tomb

**The Ancient Tomb** is the ninth chapter in the novel *Cavern of the Blood Zombies.*

## Synopsis

After walking for sometime, the group found abandoned military tents. Everybody settled down and Qiling looked at the map with the foxlike face. He said that they arrived at their destination and that there should be a worship platform beneath the ground where they sat. They inserted a mechanism into the ground to get a sample of the soil deep enough to determine whether there was a tomb. When they pulled the sample soil up, it was soaked in blood. The group still continued to dig. They dug enough to expose the back wall and Big Kui was about to strike it when Qiling told him to stop. Qiling skillfully pulled out a brick from the wall. Wu Xie notes that Qiling must be a well-trained and extremely experienced grave robber. The inside of the wall was covered with vitriol, an acid used to make pills of immortality. Once broken, this acid would hit anyone nearby and burn off their skin instantly. They disabled the trap and gained access to the north side of the tomb.

They entered in the tomb where, in the middle of the room, was a large vessel that held a decapitated body used as a sacrifice. Pan Zi inspected the vessel and found jade bracelets on the body. He then jumped into the vessel to see what else was inside. Qiling started to make a rattling noise.

The Mystic Nine

**The Qi Family (齐家)**, also known as the **Qi Clan**, is the eighth family in The Mystic Nine.

## Traits

The Qi family were different from the rest of the mystic nine. They were a family that had been handed down from generation to generation and were very happy to know their fate. The Feng Shui masters had insights into the heavenly secrets, didn’t suffer mortal exhaustion, knew their blessings, and weren’t afraid of dying.

## History

The Qi family entered the grave robbing business by sealing graves in the mountains to save the locals from suffering. While sealing the mountain, the items in the graves were taken out and they exchanged them in the market for travel expenses. Many of the Qi family’s ancestors who died in the wilderness were regarded as grave robbers and didn’t have any bones left.

The Qi family's school was divided into two separate practices: Yin and Yang. It was to maintain a balance between heaven and earth. During the day, the family helped others with birthdate characters, searched for dragon veins, locked corpses' coffins, and chose tomb locations. There were many rules in the school and they had known too many mysteries.

Qi Tiezui's father had the most basic skills, while Qi Tiezui was even weaker.

### Rules

If the master of the Qi family was unable to survive, he would hang a bronze mirror over his horse's head and use a special diagram to let it escape. It was to let later generations know where and why the master had died.

A Qi family motto was that a Feng Shui master with special skills was the same as a demigod.

The Nineteen Spices of Xiangxi

**The Nineteen Spices of Xiangxi** is the seventeenth chapter in the novel *The Mystic Nine (Lao Jiu Men)*.

## Synopsis

Er Ye looked at the 1,027 thimbles that each had their own carving. Er Yuehong’s own thimble had a daffodil on it, and had been placed inside the box as a symbol of his determination not to go down into the tombs again. Those in the family who had completed their apprenticeship would receive a thimble and after their death, the thimble would be returned to the box. Each carved thimble was pressed into the varnish, leaving a mark. The thimble matched a design in the box, so it was a relic of the Hong family. The few empty grids in the box belonged to those who didn’t return from the underground tomb several decades ago. They had entered the mountains from Dalongling, an old forest near Xiangxi. Er Yuehong's father tried to rescue them to no avail. Er Yuehong's father reconstructed the tomb with rice stalks. After he went down for the last time, he burned all the information on this ancient tomb and ordered the descendants of the Hong family not to get involved. An old man who went with him Er Ye's father went deep into the depths of the ancient tomb alone and must have seen something. Er Ye went to his room where Ya Tou was still awake reading a book. When he went to close the curtains he realized he had his own thimble on his hand, which he kept on out of habit.

Zhang Qishan and Qi Tiezui were together. Qi Tiezui yawned and Zhang Qishan put an oracle bone in his mouth and asked him what it tasted like. Qi Tiezui spit it out immediately but said it tasted like nineteen dried spices, and distilled mint oil. They thought the seasoning came from the Xiangxi cave since the oracle bones were boiled in traditional Chinese medicine. It was likely deliberately done by the Qi Family expert while attempting to cure the Japanese's sickness. They tried to narrow down where the train came from by identifying where the nineteen spices were used. Zhang Qishan told the soldiers to find detailed maps and that they would investigate tomorrow. Qi Tiezui tried to get out of investigating, but Zhang Qishan told him he must since the Qi family expert may have left more information.

Nanjing Locker (Chapter)

**Nanjing Locker** is the first chapter in the novel *Restart (Chong Qi)*.

## Synopsis

Wu Xie recounts a story from his grandfather's journal about a man named Tian Youjin. Wu Laogou met him while trying to buy a traditional Chinese medicine. Tian Youjin told Wu Laogou about the time he saw a mysterious man in an uninhabitable area in the valley staring at the lightening in the sky. The area the man was at was nearly impossible to get to which is why Wu Laogou believed the man to be a grave robber. Wu Xie compared the story to a thief from the Qing dynasty that used thunder to find tombs underground.

Uncle Three sent Wu Xie the text "East Nanjing Drum Tower, Arctic Pavilion Weather Museum, locker 221. Happy New Year." After sometime, Wu Xie finally set out with Pangzi to inspect the place mentioned in the text. They found nothing in locker 221, a guest book nearby had Uncle Three's handwriting in it which had transferred land to Wu Xie.
