The movie is an adaptation of the Series, which is honestly worth watching just because (1) the series is plain better and (2) Zhu Gu Shao played by the very handsome Vengo Gao, is so super, super cool.
The story is the continuity and the prequel of the Candle in the Tomb, creating a back story about the main 4 schools of tomb raiding : Mojin, Faqiu, Xuelin and Banshan.
