On the day of meeting a ghost, when the moon was dark, the living would give way. In the west, there would also be bloody lights.

The first day of the tenth month of the lunar calendar, 2703. It was snowing heavily and there was a bloody light in the west.

At a mountain in China's Dunhuang Ming Sha Mountain. Only the previous month, they had thought that this excavation would be a rather large burial site. Only when the exquisite stone carvings and detailed lines were first discovered did people realize that this was not a tomb, but a place where humans lived. Perhaps it was a high level civilization.

Stone buildings were not common in the history of China, so this excavation was a major discovery. It could also solve the mystery of the living environment of the primitive inhabitants of the Northwest China a few thousand years ago.

Then, when an underground palace appeared before them, they still could not believe their eyes. How was this a community? It was clearly a huge stone palace. The moment the doors to the palace opened, a hint of darkness and divine aura filled the entire construction site, as if it had come from the ancient times.

September 27th of the Lunar Calendar, it began to get cold, and snow started to fall from the sky. Just as the construction site was busy, the people cleaning up the palace also found an even more shocking piece of news.

They saw a man, a man who seemed to be alive.

The news had been locked up in secret, but it still spread like wildfire.

September 30th of the Lunar Calendar. The snow that had been falling for three days did not show any signs of stopping, and this had affected the archaeology work considerably. Furthermore, winter was approaching, so they had no choice but to make other plans.

It was night. The sky was so dark that it was hard to breathe. The sudden arrival of the blizzard caught everyone off guard.

The jade steps were hundreds of meters long, and there were scattered stone pillars on the sides of the steps. When one walked into the palace, they would stand on a ten-meter high platform, and on top of the platform, there was an indiscernible amount of yellow sand, covering the entire hall in a mountainous area. Some guessed that the entire mountain was the original location of the palace.

Shu Jingqing was busy arranging a path from the door all the way to the main hall. By the light of the lamp, he was able to see a huge round transparent pillar hanging in the sky. There was indeed a person inside the crystal pillar, and it was a woman.

If it weren't for the fact that the soil had covered up the bottom part of the pillar, that person's appearance would have been clearly visible. Even so, after studying for so many days, they were still able to find something.

At least, they were able to see that it was a woman. Half her face was covered by long black hair, her skin was exquisite and smooth, and her figure was well-proportioned and plump.

Who is she? Why was it here? Why was this pillar here? How was she put into the post? What was the use of the pillars inside the hall? Was it possible that those buried in the ground with faint patterns on them had some sort of effect? These questions were always around them. Only by cleaning up the sludge and looking at her and the surroundings of the cylinder would they be able to find out more secrets.

And now, he was not far from this secret.

Time passed slowly as he tirelessly cleaned himself up. As night fell, the sound of footsteps rang out from behind him …
