Zhang Qian, the Han envoy who opened the gates of the Silk Road, came across a mysterious ore called "Wanque" and the "Arti blueprints" while opening up the Western Regions, and brought them back to the Central Plains as family heirlooms. His grandson Zhang Meng built the wooden man "Ah Xi" from the blueprints, and his whole family was slaughtered for it; at the last moment his two young children, Zhang Mo and Zhang Tong, were sent to safety together with Ah Xi. Grown up, Zhang Mo and Zhang Tong take Ah Xi on an adventure to the Western Regions, hoping to solve the mystery of the ore and of their family's massacre!
