## Story

Years ago, Wu Sanxing tells Wu Xie horror stories about a disease to scare him when he is suddenly called by his men. He tells his nephew to go to sleep. When Wu Xie claims him he is afraid and asks him not to go, Wu Sanxing tells him not to be afraid and gives him the Grave Robbers Chronicles notebook to keep it safe.

Wu Sanxing goes to explore what the men called him for and it is revealed he is part of an excavation where a plan crashed into the mountainside and revealed a cave to be explored. Wu Sanxing is updated by his men that an entrance was discovered but there was an accident, resulting in a lot of casualties. He gives orders to go save the remaining trapped crew members and goes forward to search for them.

Inside the cave the find themselves in between various tunnels and hear strange sounds, as if of a monster. Some of their flashlights stop working and they try to see what is around them when someone notices that Xiao Yuan, one of the team members is gone. Wondering what to do just then, the monster noise is so loud it is painful.

Young Wu Xie runs through a burning camp.

Wu Sanxing and his men are attacked and all his men are taken, leaving him alone in the tunnels. He still hears the monster and tries to see around him with his lighter on. He sees the monster right beside him and is attacked when Wu Xie suddenly wakes up in Wushanju in his bed, clearly distraught.

Just then someone knocks on the door outside and Wu Xie goes to open the door. Originally seeing an unknown man he asks who he is but Wang Pangzi appears.

After Wang Pangzi introduces Wu Xie and their business, the guest is revealed to be interested in some help from them. While playing pool, the guest explains due to the warehouse he owns received damage and a hole opened up in the ground. Knowing if he contacts the archaeological department he will have to stop his business, he comes to them with this urgent matter.

Wang Pangzi sends the guest in the other room while he confronts Wu Xie about not having any money left and them not doing any tomb raiding anymore. Wu Xie retorts that they are simple artifact dealers now but Wang Pangzi manages to convince him to take the commission and help the guest.

While on the way to the warehouse, Wu Xie thinks about his past and his adventures with Wang Pangzi and Zhang Qiling. Despite following in his uncle's footsteps he reveals he thinks Wu Sanxing is probably dead. Wu Xie also claims the Iron Triangle has retired but he and Wang Pangzi aren't too successful in their business.

At the warehouse, Wu Xie tells the owner he contacted the archaeological team already and they told him to secure the area first. They continue talking to the owner who reveals that everyone has heard strange voices and bells from the hole before.

Seeing the reinforced walls of the hole, Wu Xie arguments there is probably a huge tomb at the bottom. They use their ropes to get down and look around. Soon they find various coffins hanging from the ceiling with rows of bells hanging in between.

Wang Pangzi is already dreaming about the money while Wu Xie explores the coffins and realizes they might all be musicians due to the music theme engraved on the coffins.

Wang Pangzi reminisces that Wu Xie used to get scared of places like these and Wu Xie claims that was a long time ago. They joke around using their flashlights as light sabers, when they decide to stop to be careful.

Just then Wang Pangzi notices a cup with green liquid standing beneath the coffins. Wu Xie explains to him that it is coffin dew and the cup was put beneath the coffins as it can drop for hundreds of years later. When Wang Pangzi asks what it is for, Wu Xie reveals he does not know as he only knows it from the notebook left by his grandfather, the Chronicles.

Suddenly they hear a loud sound and wonder if there is a monster or something. Wu Xie jokingly scares Wang Pangzi but reveals it is probably due to the change of temperature after the whole opened. Angry, Wang Pangzi kicks one of the coffin dew cups and a few drops fall to the floor. Poisonous green dust is released and they narrowly escape it.

Despite the danger, they decide to try to take one of the coffins out. While Wu Xie stabilizes the coffin at the top, Wang Pangzi holds the cup beneath to keep it safe. Finally being transferred up with a crane, the crane suddenly misfunctions and the operator tries to move it, and ends up shaking them around and almost dropping them. At the last moment they switch off the crane and repair it properly before taking Wu Xie and Wang Pangzi up. Safe on the top, Wang Pangzi complains to the owner before Wu Xie instructs him on the proper care for the coffins and a warning that the coffin dew is poisonous. Despite the warning the workers touch the coffins, being curious. The owner sees it at the last moment and tries to stop them but fails. A few drops spill and one of the workers accidentally touches the machinery of the crane. Despite trying to stop it, the coffin falls to the ground.

Wu Xie who tried to stop it, sees that there is no hope and tells everyone to run. Everyone runs but Wu Xie is caught in the poisonous air. He faints and is taken to the hospital.

A week after Wu Xie left the hospital, Wang Pangzi is cleaning Wushanju and throws a few boxes on the ground while scolding Wu Xie that he should finally get up and not just laze around. Walking away a phone vibrates inside the boxes. Originally thinking it to be Wang Pangzi's phone, Wu Xie tells him to get it, but Wang Pangzi reveals that he found the phone Wu Sanxing gave him years ago. He was curious so he charged it but discovered it was empty.

Wu Xie immediately goes to check it and discovers there are multiple messages on the phone. Wu Xie manages to look into one before the battery runs out again. While Wang Pangzi runs to find the charger, Wu Xie is reminded of the old message code Wu Sanxing taught him.

Once the phone is charging and back on, he starts analyzing the messages and discovers the message "North Arctic Pavilion Weather Museum, 2, 2, 1 cabinet". They recognize the message as an address and think to go there to recover some goods. Despite Wang Pangzi's excitement, Wu Xie gets discouraged after trying to call the number and it not connecting. He starts coughing and gets up and leaves.

Back in his room, Wu Xie thinks about his time with his uncle and looks through the messages that were send. Again he starts coughing and takes some pills, thinking back of his time in the hospital.

The doctors reveal to him that his lungs are in the end stage and he only has 3-6 months to live. Distraught, Wu Xie called Zhang Qiling and told him about his sickness.

The doctor gave him three types of pills. White ones to start with; when his cough worsens or he coughs blood, he is to switch to the blue ones and when it gets hard for him to breathe he should take the red ones. Wu Xie thinks about his uncle again and admits his only regret is not having found his uncle yet.

The next day, Wang Pangzi goes out to the inner court brushing his teeth, when he sees Wu Xie standing there, clean, shaved and ready to go.

Wang Pangzi asks him what is planned and Wu Xie answers they are going to the weather museum. Excited, Wang Pangzi drops the washing bowl and runs to get ready.

At the weather museum they look around for clues and find metal cabinets at the side. They wonder if Wu Sanxing really left something behind there. Once they open it, they realize the cabinet is empty. Wang Pangzi is disappointed but Wu Xie discovers something on the top of the cabinet. Wang Pangzi goes to look, putting his head into the cabinet.

They realize it is a passcode "Three Heads" and Wu Xie sees guest books hanging on the side. They run towards it and it shows that they are not as young as before as they struggle to jump over a table.

Looking through the books, they find the left message, a transfer statement of a piece of land, Zijiang Xiao Song mountain, Chang Ping Road, Lot 87, Section A, from Wu Sanxing to Wu Xie.
