The story cuts to New York City in the late 1980s, where Wang and his two partners, Hu (Chen Kun, 陳坤) and Shirley (Shu Qi, 舒淇), now live, having retired from tomb raiding. Through off-screen narration by Wang (Huang Bo, 黃渤), we learn that they are Mojin Xiaowei (摸金校尉), an ancient school of tomb raiders once commanded by Chinese emperors. The film opens with three adventurers entering a subterranean mausoleum. Based on Chinese writer Zhang Muye‘s (張牧野) immensely popular adventure series, Ghost Blows Out the Light (鬼吹燈), this is a precisely-crafted work of entertainment featuring a star-studded cast and stunning CGI effects, showing that China is catching up with Hollywood in manufacturing blockbuster entertainment. The latest production by Chinese director Wuershan (烏爾善) is an adventure-fantasy movie designed to thrill and entertain, depicting a bunch of action heroes braving zombie armies in search for a stone with magic power.

It makes no sense to expect Mojin - the Lost Legend (尋龍訣) to make sense.
