Chapter 424: Five Tombs to Rob
"Hey, there's a door. The fat man became excited, and he already had the shovel in his hand, and he looked eager to try.
"Calm down, calm down, it's still early, I'll have to use the Luoyang shovel to test the color of the soil below." We have to be sure before we do it, otherwise it will be in vain. Winter melon whispered to the fat man.
As he spoke, the metal detector sounded again, this time a circular object. The winter melon continued to change positions, and soon, this dripping sound sounded again. Looks like there's a lot of metal down there.
Although it is not yet possible to determine what these things are and whether they are worth anything. However, this kind of voice is enough to make everyone's hearts move, enough to make everyone look forward to the next action.
Although the fat man has watched a lot of tomb robberies and participated in an inverted bucket once, he is still an absolute layman in the inverted bucket.
Seeing that the winter melon was reasonable, the fat man could only suppress the excitement in his heart and show enough patience.
Taking advantage of their time to find the tomb, the fat man asked curiously, "Two brothers, which door do you belong to?"
Winter melon was stunned for a moment, and the fox said suspiciously: "What is it?"
Fat man: "The sect in the inverted bucket, you don't even know this, do you?" Although the fat man is a layman to the inverted bucket, he has read a lot of this and learned a lot about the mysterious industry of tomb robbing from many history books.
Since the beginning of human civilization, there have been tomb robbing.
Tomb robbing in ancient times, known as one of the lower nine streams, has a history of thousands of years. Moreover, Huaxia has always advocated "treating death as life" and likes thick burials, which gives this industry great development opportunities.
Here, it is necessary to popularize some common sense in the mysterious industry of the downside.
Depending on the means of action, the tomb robbers are divided into five factions.
These five factions are divided into the Golden Gate, the Moving Mountain Gate, the Jieling Gate, the Faqiu Gate, and the Xiaoyao Gate. Among the five gates, let's first introduce the Xiaoyao Gate.
Xiaoyaomen, the name sounds quite domineering, but it is actually the lowest-end in this industry.
This one has the largest number of disciples, but it is the most useless. They don't have any great robbery, and they don't have any dazzling tools for robbing tombs.
What they have may only have one strength, a hoe, and a chance of unattainable luck. To put it simply, they don't actually make a living by robbing tombs.
For example, a farmer ploughed the field there, ploughed and ploughed, and found a treasure buried in the ground.
The news of the treasure in the field soon spread in several nearby villages.
There was no much ideological work, and people from several nearby villages went out to dig treasures with hoes and iron plows.
This kind of person actually belongs to the "Xiaoyaomen".
explained the Xiaoyao Gate, the next four doors, it is very professional.
Because from ancient times to the present, many people believe in feng shui. In today's advanced science and technology, there are coal bosses who believe in feng shui and rely on feng shui masters to find wells and drill holes, not to mention the underdeveloped monarchical society at that time.
At that time, most of the people believed in ghosts and gods, and some even reached the level of obsession.
Marriage, funeral, housewarming、、、、 almost everything is inseparable from feng shui.
This phenomenon appeared among the common people, and was valued by successive kings and officials.
They live in the treasure land in front of them, and they also live in the treasure cave of feng shui after death.
The princes and kings who were unusually rich in funerary goods were even more hollowed out to find the "dragon vein".
Such a situation has of course also given birth to people who are professional "feng shui masters".
Before the Republic of China, these institutional hierarchies were relatively intact. But in the later Wen & Revolution "except for the four olds", in addition to the "Xiaoyao Gate" and "Jieling Gate", the rest of the three gates (Faqiu, touching gold, and moving mountains) that made a living by robbing tombs were basically destroyed.
(Four Olds: Old Ideas, Old Culture, Old Customs, Old Habits)
It was a time of turmoil, an era of cultural relics.
In order to invite merit, some crazy people and even some priceless cultural relics of some landlords' homes were destroyed like garbage.
The precious triangular bronze tripod was smelted in copper, and Wang Xizhi's paintings were burned as waste paper.
At that time, the people who could have spare money to buy were none other than those landlords and old wealth, 10,000 yuan households.
Thinking that the treasure bought today may be stolen tomorrow, who else dares to commit chaos and commit crimes against the wind.
In this situation, where supply far exceeds demand, stolen artifacts cannot be sold.
If you can't sell it, you won't be able to live your life, and more people will choose to change careers from when they want to make a living. Because of this, there are very few people left of the people of the Four Gates, or the descendants of the Four Gates.
The topic turned to the "four gates", and the remaining four gates were touching the golden gate, moving the mountain gate, unloading the mountains, and sending the hill gate.
These four gates are also known as the Captain of the Touching Gold, the Mountain Mover, the Commander of the Mountains, and the General of Faqiu.
There is such a saying, "There is a seal on the hair mound, there is a charm for touching gold, there is a technique for moving mountains, and there is a nail for unloading mountains."
Touching the gold school captain, starting in the Warring States Period, is proficient in "dragon hunting". In this door, there are a lot of capable people with heterogeneous angles. The real captain who touches the gold has something like a modern ID card - the touch gold charm.
During the Three Kingdoms era, Cao Cao specially set up a "Touching Gold School Captain" to rob tombs. The stolen artifacts were sold and used to finance the military.
Touching the Golden Gate is the earliest tomb robbery sect, known as the orthodoxy of robbery, the first Son of Heaven. Of course, they are different from martial arts schools like Wudang and Shaolin.
Touching the gold school captain does not need to join the club, the master teaches and other links, they have their own set of incisions, signs, techniques, as long as they fit these things, they belong to the same door.
As the leader of the excavation industry, Captain Touching Gold has a strict style of conduct. They pay attention to their work and leave room for their work, and they do not do things absolutely.
Even if they found a tomb full of treasures, they would leave one or two pieces for the dead to eat.
Before the digging, one or two candles are lit and placed in the southeast position. After the theft, if the candle is extinguished, the money must be returned to the original state, no matter how tempting the treasure is, it must adhere to this purpose.
After entering the tomb, you must also prostrate to the deceased again and again before you can start to collect the treasure.
It is this purpose that contradicts and disagrees with each other. Fa Qiumen is ruthless and vicious, and he has never taboo this, taboo that.
Not only did they steal the treasures from the tombs, but they even stole the well-preserved bodies and sold them.
In their eyes, this is much more valuable than those artifacts. Destroying the tomb has always been a common thing for Faqiumen.
Touching the Golden Gate and looking at the Fa Qiu Gate is not pleasing to the eye, because he looks down on the other party's style of doing things that does not even let go of the dead.
And Fa Qiumen felt that they were all a group of hypocrites who touched Jinmen, robbed tombs, and robbed tombs, and made out those moths.
