Situ Jun, an overseas Chinese, receives a letter which asks him to come back to his native town, Leshan, to discuss some important buiness. The letter is signed by a Mr. Ankang, who makes an appointment to meet him at Linyun Monastery. Situ, moreover, senses that someone is following him and there is even an attempt on his life, but at the same time it also seems as if someone is protecting him. To add to his unease, several mysterious deaths have recently occurred near the giant Leshan Buddha. It seems that the victims had been looking for a treasure.
Situ finally learns that his late father had collected a large sum of money for the repair of the Leshan Buddha. But because of the greed and designs of the local tyrants he was never able to achieve his goal. As a last resort he hid the money inside the huge Buddha. Soon afterwards he and a mason who helped him hide the money were murdered.
Ever since then the local monsters and officials have been looking for the money. Now that Situ has appeared on the scene he naturally becomes the center of attraction. After many twists and turns, Situ finally locates Ankang, who turns out to be his uncle. Questions are answered but others remain. Who is the beautiful girl that keeps following him? Whose side is she on? What about the sinister-looking Mr. Sha? Where exactly is the moner hidden?
