Synopsis
When Hu Bayi is about to go abroad, he finds an old photograph when sorting through his old things.
At that time, he and Wang Pangzi were working in the countryside in the Daxinganling Mountains.
They went to the mountains to hunt weasels in exchange for fruit candy, and to catch bears for their bile in order to cure people. But to their surprise, they entered a collapsed Weasel Grave.
Legend has it that decades ago, a group of bandits known as the "Ni Er Hui" dug out a gold and jade chest from the Grave, and then the bandits and the chest disappeared together in the desert grasslands.
At the same time, a letter from their comrade Ding Sitian invites them to the grasslands, and they are delighted to go there when the horses get scared.
In order to find the lost horses, the three of them and a herdsman, Lao Yang Pi, enter the Hundred-Eyed Cave, commonly known as the Hall of Hell.
Here, there are some remnants of the Japanese "water supply unit", a strange building with no rooms, a basement numbered "0" and, even more frighteningly, two weasels with white fur following them around.
