Here is the enthralling tale of Lu Wong Di, a Chinese who spies for
Chinese emperors. He murders a Chinese gate guard and is cursed by
a witch to never die until he learns the value of a single human
life. The curse sends him on an adventurous journey covering six
centuries of Chinese history. In the pursuit of his own salvation
he falls in love, marries, and has children only to watch them age
and die while he remains a young man. He questions mans search for
immortality and searches for a cure to the witches curse. A
Buddhist monk leads him to a vampire who debates him on the
question of the value of human beings and tells him to seek out the
tomb of the first Emperor of China for the answers he seeks. He and
his partner Xiancia encounter bandits, pirates, typhoons, floods,
disease, a dragon, a demon, and ghosts in their quest for the
answer to find the value of a single human life. They uncover
ancient secrets of the Book of Three Curses and the Three Mirrors
of Fate and question their own values as they travel across the
vast deserts and mountains of Asia.
