About The Buried Tree Devil

Here is what The Buried Tree Devil (盗墓笔记之秦岭神树) is about, retold in plain terms: an adventure, mystery and supernatural anime by Qiyuan Yinghua (2021). The setup: After returning to Hangzhou from his past two adventures in Nansha, Wu Xie without warning receives a call from his long-lost childhood ally Lao Yang. He talks to Wu Xie about their adventure in the hinterlands of Qinling Mountain three years ago and invites Wu Xie to explore the ancient ruins there again.

Further in, during their adventure, Wu Xie and Lao Yang witness a giant taimen, a grand underground waterfall, and an unfathomable ancient sacred tree. Meanwhile Zhang Qiling, who has been elusive from the start, is secretly helping Wu Xie.

In an adventure series like this, exploration, new locations and a steady sense of momentum drive the story. If you count yourself among anyone who enjoys travel-the-world storytelling, put it on your list. The run is 12 episodes in total, so you know what you are signing up for.
