In the seventeenth year of the Republic of China, in the spring of 1928 AD.

Out of Luoyang Nanguan, he came to the Longmen Grottoes by the Yishui River, and saw the majestic Lushena Buddha. Lushena means light shining everywhere. The face of the Buddha is round, the wavy hairlines on the top of the head, the ears are drooping, the nose is high, the eyebrows are like a crescent moon, and the beautiful eyes are slightly condensed, like a kind middle-aged woman, looking down on her life lightly and eternally. It is said that Wu Zetian gave 20,000 guan fat powder money to live temporarily, and ordered the craftsman to carve according to her face.

After passing through the Longmen Grottoes, he went upriver from the Yi River, walked ten miles, and saw a few acres of abandoned thin fields and dense brick houses. Walking past the crooked-necked old locust tree at the entrance of the village, there is a large bronze seed of the Warring States period, and dozens of epitaphs are lined up underneath.

He knew that this was Luoyang Tomb Robbery Village.

The villagers saw this uninvited guest, the woman doing needlework hid in the house, the dolls hid in the water tank, and a dozen or so men carried Luoyang shovels out and stopped in front of him: "Who is it?" ”

"I'm here to receive the goods, and I've made an appointment with your big chief."

He held up the money bag in his hand, and the men couldn't help but be overjoyed. In recent years, the business of the tomb robbery village has been booming, from the original door to the current door, cultural relics dealers and antique dealers are constantly coming to the door to buy.

When I came to the door of an inconspicuous courtyard, there were many brand-new houses around it, and none of them was better than this one. Two boys rushed out of the courtyard in a fight, looking like brothers, in their early teens. Out of the door came a young woman, dressed in dusty clothes, with her hair tucked back behind her head, and her figure surprisingly well-proportioned and seductive, showing off a handsome face with a slight tan. She is the mother of two boys, spanking their butts hard, swearing a series of dirtiest words, teaching the children not to run around. The young woman smiled slightly, and there were some rural village aunts who had all kinds of charms, and said embarrassedly: "Don't be surprised by the guest officer! Come in! There are a lot of goods in our house again. ”

He lowered his head and stepped into the small courtyard. The ground is covered with Shang and Zhou bronzes, Spring and Autumn bamboo slips, Warring States iron swords, Qin Dynasty tiles, Han Dynasty gilt bronze chariots and horses, and even a golden cash tree, which makes people have little place to stand.

A young man squatted on the ground, using a brush to clean the Eastern Han Dynasty double-beast ear blue-glazed pottery, and broke a finger on his left hand.

In his eyes, the antique dealer who collected the stolen goods was just a fly staring at cow dung, and he didn't bother to look up at all, but still focused on cleaning up the pottery dug up from the ancient tomb: "The treasure is here, and if you pick any one, you can make a price." ”

"I'm the one I picked!"

He replied coldly, and the thin and white man raised his head and saw Ah Hai's face.

The muscles in Kogi's face stiffened.

It's been a long time since I've been so stiff, and my face, which was originally thin and tender, and my eyebrows and eyebrows, suddenly became a little terrifying.

A few years ago, Xiao Mu took the sea girl and two boys surnamed Ouyang back to Luoyang Tomb Robbery Village, his hometown after a long absence. Because he dug up the tomb of Shangguan Wan'er in the Tang Dynasty, he became the leader of the tomb robbery village and embarked on the career that the tomb robber family dreamed of.

He had his own territory, like a prince on one side. The young descendants of the tomb robbery village, the newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, and they carry the Luoyang shovel to the land of China, from the icy Changbai Mountain to the spring of the four seasons Cangshan Erhai Lake, leaving their footprints or corpses.

Xiaomu seems to be a bully, but he has a heart as solid as a rock. He set several rules, and those who violated the order died—

First, no one is allowed to act on his own, but must obey the command of his chief, like a disciplined army.

Second, digging the tomb should not be too frequent, at most twice a month, not more than 20 times a year, so as not to destroy the dragon veins and cause anger and resentment, and we must pay attention to the balance between people and tombs.

Third, Tufuzi lives on the tomb, and the owner of the tomb is the parent of food and clothing, and he needs to have a heart of awe, so he can "raise the coffin and make a fortune", but he cannot insult and destroy the bones. Once upon a time, a tomb robber opened the coffin and found that the young and beautiful female corpse had not yet decomposed, but there was a perverted act of molesting and even raping the corpse - this has been strictly forbidden by Xiao Mu.

Fourth, it is not allowed to excavate the tombs after the Qing Dynasty, most of these tombs still have descendants, or live near the ancestral tombs. Xiao Mu was cautious, digging the grave itself was already extremely risky, and he didn't want to take any more risks above the ground.

Fifth, the old rule of tomb robbery villages, rabbits do not eat the grass by the nest, can not dig the local tombs in Luoyang, and try not to dig the tombs in Henan Province to avoid causing the arrest of its own government.

The above is the "Five Oaths" of the Tomb Robbery Village - because Xiao Mu has lived in Japan for half a year, he directly pirated the name of the "Five Oaths" of the Meiji Restoration in Japan.

Interestingly, the later "History of Tomb Robbery in China" called the reform of Luoyang Tomb Robbery Village in the twenties of the last century the "Meiji Restoration" in the tomb robbery world.

Xiaomu's team is growing day by day, and the ama is also singing and following him. They never encountered the real tomb beast again, but dug up a lot of "pseudo tomb beasts" - wood carvings of the Warring States period, stone carvings of the Qin and Han dynasties, and brilliant Tang Sancai, all of which were packaged into authentic tomb beasts by small wood, and sold to antique dealers in Beijing Liuli Factory and Shanghai French Concession, in exchange for Yuan Datou, who was white.

For eight years, the grave robbery village has lived a good life. All the income from the sale of stolen goods is managed by Xiaomu, and the first money is first given to the family of the person who died in an accident in the tomb robbery as a pension; the second money was distributed to the widows, lonely and elderly people in the village; The third sum of money was awarded to the surviving descendants; The last sum of money, Xiaomu left for himself, the ama, and two children.

Although Kogi and the ama have never worshiped heaven and earth to hold a wedding wine, everyone regards the ama as the hostess of the tomb robbery village, and the two children are also regarded as Xiaomu's own children.

Last month, they had just turned over a tomb of princes and kings in Shandong, dug up a lot of good things, and used dozens of mules to transport them back. Why are so many treasures piled up in the yard, because even the kang is already piled up in the house......

At this moment, among the treasures in the yard, there is an extra face that Xiaomu will never forget.

Ah Hai tore off the fake skin attached to the right side of his face, revealing a scar crawling like a centipede, which glowed metallicly in the sun......

He was smiling at Kogi.

As if seeing an evil ghost in broad daylight, Xiao Mu fell to the ground with his head in the sky, smashing the Eastern Han Dynasty blue-glazed pottery worth thousands of gold!

"Xiaomu, don't come to harm?"

"Ahaigo ......"

His face was as ash as he had seen death, and his knees shook as he knelt on the ground, and the sound of a porcelain bowl shattering sounded.

"Ahh Only then did the ama recognize Ah Hai and immediately knelt down with the two children in her arms. The beautiful young woman touched her plump breasts and simply let go, "Big brother, please spare our life, I can sleep with you for the night." ”

It turns out that this sea lady is arrogant by nature, and she is not taboo about men and women, she also knows that Xiaomu is afraid of death, as long as she can live, she will not be taboo about this kind of thing.

Ah Hai was furious and slapped the ama.

The two boys, Ouyang Zhulu and Ouyang Lianfan, were quite able to appreciate the severity of the situation and immediately burst into tears. This family of four seems to have been executed.

The descendants of the tomb robbery village heard the cry and each mentioned that they wanted to save the boss. Ah Customs tightened the gate of the courtyard and then used an iron rod to die. He put a dagger on the neck of the small wooden and shouted to the people who climbed the courtyard wall: "No one is allowed to come in." ”

At the same time, a deafening sound of gunfire rang out outside the village, as if thousands of troops surrounded the small village. Having been in the warlord's army, Kogi knew that this movement was no joke, and he even recognized the sound of Makqin's machine gun fire.

Maxim put an end to everything.

"It's been eight years, why did you come to kill me now?"

Xiao Mu remembered that eight years ago, in the spring of the three eastern provinces, on the top of the seven-story stone tomb of the ancient country of Bohai, he used an iron awl from the Tang Dynasty to almost pierce Ah Hai's heart, so he was able to escape.

"I never wanted to kill you."

"You can kill me! But don't hurt the women and children, let them go. Xiao Mu was rarely tough, "Brother Ahai, the fathers and villagers of the tomb robbery village, please don't embarrass them." These descendants just follow me to eat, and it is enough to punish me alone. ”

He didn't want to see the jade burned in the tomb robbery village he had worked so hard to run.

Ah Hai shook his head and smiled slightly: "Xiaomu, I invite you to do something earth-shattering with me." ”

"What's the matter?"

Ah Hai narrowed his eyes, stared at the mountains outside the courtyard wall in a daze, and whispered-

"Let's dig up the imperial tombs of the Qing Dynasty."
