Storyline

Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan lead an archaeological team organized by Shirley Yang into the desert to find the ancient city of Jingjue. Hu Bayi, who was sent to work in Ganggangyingzi on the Sino-Mongolian border, brings the only book left in his home, the Sixteen-Character Yin-Yang Feng Shui Secret Art, and memorizes it thoroughly. Later, while serving in Tibet, he survives a snow avalanche that drops him into a huge trench by using the secret art. After being discharged, he and his friend Fatty join an archaeological team heading to Xinjiang. After many dangers, they reach the ruins of Jingjue in the Taklamakan Desert and enter the underground 'Ghost Cave,' which is filled with traps and mechanisms and seems to be controlled by a prophet. The film contrasts the archaeological team's dedication to research with Fatty's greed and Anliman's piety with the team's attitude, creating a vivid portrait of the expedition. Through the performances of accomplished actors, the characters once only imagined by readers are brought to the screen, recreating this thrilling desert adventure.
