Guiguzi Sealed One of My Souls

My name is Shen Yan, and I'm a tomb raider. That day I dug open an empty grave on Laoya Ridge. The stone talisman seal was sealed with ash, and a wisp of grayish-white drilled into my chest—I thought I'd run into a ghost. Later I learned it wasn't a ghost. It was a soul that Guiguzi had sealed for two thousand years. He studied the lower half—the upper half's disciples Su Qin, Zhang Yi, Sun Bin, and Pang Juan all became famous across the world after leaving the mountain, but their later years were miserable; of the lower half's disciples there was only him, his soul sealed and pressed beneath the Broken Dragon. Two thousand years later, the line of seal-keepers died out, and I, a tomb raider, opened the grave with one strike of my hoe. The moment he was released, I finally understood: Guiguzi sealed him not to punish him, but to preserve him—to preserve him to carry the "Dao" out of the mountain, and when "Shu" was about to reach its peak and the world was about to enter a great calamity, to patch a two-thousand-year seal. And this compass in my hand is the key. Three zhang and seven below the well, another lock is pressed down. The chess player has searched for two thousand years. What they want to seize isn't the tomb—it's me. — Description from novelcodex.orgFull novel: Guiguzi Sealed One of My Souls — read the rest free on N​o⁠v​e⁠l​C⁠o​d⁠e​x⁠.​o⁠r​g⁠
