No matter from the lines, stories, details, scenes and other aspects, the original work is strictly respected, but in order to make the rules of drama production and let people enter the plot faster, the director and screenwriter adjusted the narrative order.
In addition, in order to conform to the details of the 1980s in clothing, makeup and props, Hu Bayi's hairstyle, Wang Pangzi's residence and railway station all have a sense of time, which makes people feel nostalgic. The slight deficiency is that the rhythm is a bit slow, which is worth improving.

Hu Bayi (Jin Dong) went to the countryside and came to Ganggangyingzi on the border between China and Mongolia. He took the only book left at home, The Secret of Sixteen Characters of Yin and Yang Feng Shui, and memorized the words in the book as soon as he was free. Later he joined the army and went to Tibet. When he met an avalanche and fell into a huge trench, Hu Bayi escaped secretly with his own grave.
After demobilization, Hu Bayi and his good friend Wang Pangzi (Zhao Da) joined an archaeological team and went to Xinjiang for archaeology. A group of people went through hardships and dangers to the ruins of the ancient city in the Taklimakan desert and entered the underground "ghost hole". There are many organs and traps in the cave. This mysterious ghost cave seems to be controlled by a prophet.
