The Zhou Ruins Code

Gu Huai transmigrated into an orphan of a side branch in a cultivation family, guarding a dilapidated tombkeeper's hut at the edge of the ancestral land. According to family rules, side branches guard tombs for the main line, living as insignificant as grass. Until he dug out an iron token engraved with 'Duanhou Army' under the stove platform of his hut, along with a tattered map pointing deep into the ancestral land. Legend has it that the ancestral land buries the Gu family's ancestors, but the 'Bone Cave' and 'Waiting for Death Domain' marked on the map exude an inexplicable eeriness. Even more terrifying, every night, a 'thing' wearing the old robe of his deceased grandfather would appear outside his thatched hut, pointing to an unnamed mound. To uncover the truth, Gu Huai, relying on his past life's archaeological knowledge, gradually delved into the forbidden zones of the ancestral land. He discovered that beneath the land celebrated as 'the burial ground of heroes', lay 317 deliberately forgotten lives. And those 'living dead' appearing every night seemed to only want to tell him one thing: 'Later one, trust neither the living nor the dead, trust the token in your own hand.' — Description from novelcodex.org
