Chapter 1: Tomb Robbery
------------------------
In the middle of the night, the mountain jungle was filled with the smell of dead bodies.
From ancient times to the present, the life trajectories of countless people, who are either high or noble, or who they feel despicable, will always be gradually buried, withered, and forgotten in this strong and continuous smell.
My life has been spent in this highly twisted darkness.
Whether it is youth or the beauty of the world, it seems to pass by me, and then there is no sound.
Everything is as light as the cold wind of this night.
Silence, withering, and falling.
Every time, I would shiver and twitch in the cold in such a night wind.
Then I could only grit my teeth and make myself like a dumpling, hiding in the rotten dust, deeply feeling the uneasiness, pain and helplessness of life.
And what I have been seeking has never been able to obtain.
Still, I won't give up!
Persistence is the only reason and belief in my life that can make me feel that I exist.
So very early, I still remembered the persistence of my previous life, and resolutely and even resolutely left my home, and walked towards this boundless, dangerous and strange world without looking back.
That year, I was ten years old.
Alone, alone.
That kind of desolation, loneliness, and misery, who can understand it?
Thinking of this, I sighed helplessly and sadly in my heart.
Looking ahead at a mountain that was black like a monster under the cover of night, revealing a bluestone slab sealed door that had been sealed in dust for an unknown number of years, my heart was always in a cycle of hope and disappointment, as if it suddenly burned like wildfire from a cold and withered pool of death.
The bluestone sealed door is the door monument of the dead, engraved with the curse of the soul.
All the dead will be turned into a foul air behind such a stone door, sealed forever, or scattered by the wind.
And what I have been looking for in all my past and present lives is a living dead man who lies behind this stone gate, sleeping forever.
His mind wandered, and suddenly Ah San's voice was as cold as iron in his ears: "Open the tomb!" ”
Ah San is the boss of a tomb robbery gang, with a sharp head that reveals a profound shrewdness.
But in reality, it's more just treacherous.
Under him, there were five members.
They are Nobita, Baodian, Bodhisattva, bless, and then me.
Because I was the last one to join their gang of grave robbers.
I have a slender body.
But thin, it's as if a gust of wind could down at any moment.
When I first met Ah San, Ah San squinted at me, deliberately showed a mouthful of inlaid gold teeth, and blew at me with a pout.
The breath seemed to come out of a dung cellar, and I couldn't help but shake it a few times.
I didn't feel like I was blown down by him, but in the end, I couldn't help but be stinky, and it was almost like spitting out all the bitter water in my past and present lives.
So, Ah San contemptuously burst out of the golden tooth and the first sentence of the two meeting: "People like you still want to rob the tomb?" ”
I endured the discomfort and nodded desperately, saying that I couldn't even speak.
Then, Ah San was surprised, tilted his pointed head, squinted his eyes, and looked me from head to foot, and from foot to head five times.
His eyes were like two rough brushes, brushing up and down my body.
I've never faced such a look, and my heart is clenched and beats like a brush.
After brushing it five times, Ah San finally sneered and deliberately showed his gold teeth: "Join us, the first step is to have a physical examination!" ”
My face changed in an instant.
Luckily, San's brush wasn't on my face, otherwise he would have noticed it.
Ah San snorted again as deep as he could, and said slowly: "This is to ensure your innocence, and of course, my safety!" ”
I didn't quite understand what he meant, except that I felt like I was stunned, and my head was a mess.
I would never have imagined that the first step in joining a tomb robbery gang would be a medical examination.
I even wondered, could it be that Ah San found out that I was a daughter, so he deliberately wanted to molest or humiliate me?
Ah San squinted again, and the gold teeth continued to tremble: "What, scared?" ”
My head "buzzed", I came back to my senses, gritted my teeth, and said, "I'm not afraid." ”
Ah San smiled, with a grotesque feeling: "If you're not afraid, then take off your clothes!" ”
My face changed again.
I was born a woman, how can a woman take off her clothes in front of a man at will?
Even if my heart is like ashes, or I am desperate, it is difficult to understand the shame of that moment.
At that moment, I hesitated as I had for many years, and I almost gave up.
But I was not willing to give up like this, I spent a year and a half in order to find the tomb robber, and now that I have finally found it, how can I give up so easily?
I kept encouraging myself in my heart that I must never give up, I must not.
Because tomb robbing is the only thing I must learn.
Because of tomb robbing, I have paid too much, and I can't go back.
A muffled sound of "boom", through the boundless dust and mist, interrupted my wandering thoughts, and let all memories return to the reality in front of me.
Then I only heard Ah San's resolute and decisive voice say: "The tomb has exploded, brothers, go!" ”
I looked up, and the bluestone seal in front of me really collapsed, revealing a square hole, black like the devil's bloody mouth that eats people and does not spit out bones, revealing an inexplicable gloom.
Cemeteries like this are often built in a hill, somewhat like a secret warehouse, connected by a corridor, and then exited by an enclosed boulder.
In Ah San's words, many vulgar and unscrupulous rich people will be keen to choose such a cemetery.
Guess the meaning of their lifetime, which mostly means blessing the children and grandchildren.
———— "decorate the new palace to prolong the storage, and not return to the hometown".
Rather, "I have a garment, and my offspring is stored."
Therefore, the place of burial is often in the veins of feng shui.
This is a key skill that grave robbers must master.
However, Ah San is not very willing to teach us, and often always interprets it wrongly, so that we will be wrong and never reach the artistic conception of tomb robbing.
Taught the apprentice, starved the master to death, this sentence seems to be the truth forever.
However, if the master leads the way and the cultivation is in everyone, this truth will always exist.
Stepping on the bluestone sealed door and walking in, it was indeed a not very narrow road, and the light of the fire with the beating of the torch continued to stretch forward.
The stone walls of the road are all built with hard bluestone, and one by one with the age, exudes a moldy and sour atmosphere.
Ah San threw out two sharp gazes, stared at the black Yongdao at the master level, took an exaggerated breath, and then showed his golden teeth in the firelight: "Bless, throw the torch." ”
Bless is in his twenties, and he has a national character face for bless people, and the name Bless seems to have been born for him.
Bao Bao replied with a stiff face, and threw the torch that had been prepared in his hand to test the oxygen content of the tomb without hesitation.
Every time he threw a torch, he didn't know why he always felt a sense of pride, as if a pregnant woman had created a life, which made him feel very fulfilled.
The torch rolled on the ground several times, flickering on and off, and never extinguished, which means that there is still an environment and conditions to enter the tomb.
The light of the fire flickered in the tomb, and its light no longer seemed to be warm, but rather revealed an indescribable gloom.
Sometimes the firelight keeps jumping, like a ghost blowing the wind, and at any time a terrifying grimace may suddenly appear within a few ranges of the firelight.
But what a grimace looks like, I've never seen it before.
I have followed Ah for three or four years, robbed countless tombs, but I have never seen a ghost.
Actually, I'm not afraid of ghosts, because what I'm looking for is a ghost in the first place.
To be precise, it wasn't a ghost, at best a sleeping living dead.
The reason why I desperately want to rob the tomb is to find this living dead.
This eternally sleeping woman in my life.
With each step deeper into the tomb, my heart gradually tensed, and my mind and consciousness kept praying.
Who will be the owner of this tomb?
Could it be the woman I'm looking for?
Ah San was uncharacteristically this time, and even let his five subordinates walk in front.
He followed behind and said, "Brothers, don't be afraid, as far as I can see, there is no mechanism in this tomb, and it is very safe. ”
Ah San is an experienced tomb robber, and his words will never make people doubt, just like his pointed head, always so bright, just like his gold teeth, always so bright.
After passing through the corridor, we finally arrived at the heart-pounding but exciting burial chamber.
It is a simple ancient tomb with not many compartments, only a burial chamber where the owner's coffin is kept.
Everyone's breathing had become rough, and at this time, the nerves of tomb robbers like them would naturally be stirred and tense by the desires of their hearts.
It's like a beggar longing to see jewels, and a pervert longing to meet a lustful woman.
The torches were moving slowly, and the small burial chamber was in full view, and everything seemed so old and dilapidated.
Even the scattered artifacts are so simple and vulgar that they are worthless.
What kind of tomb is this?
We all ask ourselves pitifully in our hearts, but no one can answer.
When Ah San brought us here, he said that it was the tomb of a rich man, and he had been surveying it for a long time.
When he said the word "survey", a hint of imperceptible cunning flashed in his eyes.
It's a pity that we didn't see it.
The Mahavira Hall, blessed by the Bodhisattvas, searched the tomb with their distracted gaze in search of greater spiritual and material comfort.
But they searched the entire tomb, but they didn't find a decent artifact, even the kind of ancient coin that was taken to the market to exchange for a few handfuls of broken silver.
Doesn't this seem a little abnormal to the tomb of a rich man?
I've robbed the tomb with Ah San for so many years, and it seems that I've never met such a humble rich man.
Nobita couldn't help but scolded with trembling hands and feet: "Fuck, why don't you have anything valuable?" ”
The Bodhisattva wept and said, "Could it be that someone else has taken the lead?" ”
Baoyou shook his head desperately: "It's impossible, there are no other robbery holes here, it's impossible for others to come in, and besides, how can it be wrong to talk about the tomb of our boss?" Boss, don't you say? ”
Ah San responded vaguely and said, "That's, that's, who is my Ah San?" Don't be discouraged, there is nothing outside, there must be one inside the coffin. ”
As soon as Ah San said this, they settled down again, and they were full of hope for happiness, and they all looked at the coffin with bright eyes.
It was about the corner of their eyes that they found me next to me, who had always been acting unsurprised, and Baoyou couldn't help but turn his head and muttered: "I really don't know, you are lukewarm to gold and silver treasures every time you come in, don't you like it?" ”
I glanced at him indifferently and didn't answer, just smiled indifferently.
I knew that I didn't have to answer, and my companions would say something passionately.
Often every time the tomb is robbed, the only thing the Bodhisattva of the Mahavira Hall does is to scramble to snatch the burial goods of the dead, and I just wait and watch in silence with sorrow.
The Bodhisattvas of the Mahavira Hall blessed them with the gold and silver objects and laughed like crazy, tears of excitement also wet their clothes, and their whole bodies trembled and twisted in ecstatic desire.
But when they found that I was unmoved every time, they were very strange, and they all looked at me with incredible looks and asked, "You don't want treasure, so what do you want?" ”
At this time, the Bodhisattva would shake his head and mutter, "Brother, my poor child, why don't you want money? What a lot of money! ”
Brother is the fake name I used before I joined the tomb robbery gang.
The name shows that I am a man.
But they didn't know that I was just a woman.
I glanced at them and smiled helplessly, and at first I would only say a lazy remark: "I don't like money!" ”
The five of them were stunned for a moment.
They really can't believe that there are still people in this world who don't like money, isn't this too unreasonable?
The Bodhisattva pretended to be helpless and sighed again: "What a strange person, what kind of tomb do you want money to rob?" ”
Nobita grinned and said, "If you don't have money, how can you touch it?" ”
Bao You followed and coaxed: "Look at our brother, he looks quiet and quiet, isn't that a woman's appearance?" ”
They all laughed lewdly, and these topics easily gave them inexplicable stimulation and pleasure.
My face was a little red, but I still pretended to be a smirk that resonated with them.
At this time, Baodian, who had not spoken all this time, suddenly burst out with a sentence: "Brother, why do you look so good when you laugh, you feel quite a woman." ”
I stopped laughing right away.
In my wandering reverie, the lid of the coffin was finally pried open.
This is a gilded and gilded coffin, I don't know why, this coffin is not rotten, but no one cares.
They don't care whether the coffin is good or bad, they only care if there is gold, silver and jewelry in the coffin.
In such a luxurious coffin, in addition to the dead, there are often more valuable funerary goods.
Therefore, as soon as the lid of the coffin was opened, they all prepared the utensils to ward off evil spirits, in case something unclean suddenly came out of the coffin.
But after waiting for a long time, except for an invisible cold air gushing out of the coffin, there was no abnormal movement, so they looked into the coffin with confidence.
Then I heard only an "ah", and all five of them changed color.
