I have lived in a Sifang pawnshop for fifteen years, and they all say that I sharpen a sword in ten years, but I was sharpened by Ye Jiuqing and them, which is enough to find and pry open the exploration shovel of any ancient tomb.

They taught me boring skills over and over again, and gradually I began to passively accept them, so that I almost forgot why I was here in the first place.

It wasn't until I was twenty-three years old that I came across an incident that began to expose me to the truth about my father, but at the same time, it also set me on a strange and bizarre journey, and it wasn't until much later that I looked back on the past and realized that what I had experienced later was more mysterious and strange than my father's identity and the truth.

I still remember that day was the 22nd day of the seventh month of the lunar calendar to worship the God of Wealth, and every year Ye Jiuqing personally presided over this matter, but at that time, Ye Jiuqing went out with the general and Feng Cheng, and told me not to forget to worship the incense when I left.

After the incense, I am lazy, I like to lie on Zhao Yan's counter to bask in the sun when I have nothing to do, I always pay attention to the wrist of everyone who comes here, this habit has been maintained from me to the Sifang pawnshop until now, I put the hope of finding the enemy who killed my father, and I pinned it here, and the time was too long and there was no original attachment.

The counter of the pawnshop is higher than the borrower, and there is a wooden board called a fig board between the door and the counter, and people outside the shop cannot see the transactions inside.

Don't look at the tomb robbery industry, it is not even considered a lower nine rate among the three religions and nine streams, but it is also divided into products.

Generally, regardless of the age and time, the subordinate products who dig all the tombs, most of them are poor and crazy soil rats who have no skills to work alone, don't talk to this group of people about professional ethics, and the people who are buried today dare to dig at night.

In the industry, this kind of person has an extremely bad reputation and is called a plague mouse, because they have no bottom line and dig up everything, and there are many accidents, and it is easy to be involved in trouble if they are infected with the plague.

The better thing is that they have a gang, and they can build a team with some skills that will choose the tomb to touch the treasure, this kind of person is called Zhongpin.

There is often a palm eye that can speak in the circle, and generally tomb robbers from other places like to cooperate with this kind of person when they come to the southwest border to insert branches, because there are many people involved, so every time in order to prevent the empty (there is no water in the tomb of the stepping point or someone has stolen it first), it will not be effective.

Therefore, this kind of tomb robbers are very cautious in choosing tombs, and basically will not make mistakes, and the most shipped are also this kind of people, but often the condition and head of the goods will not be much better.

As for the top grade, it is like Ye Jiuqing, although it is a soil mouse who robs the tomb, but there are also principles, the tomb within two hundred years is not stolen, and this kind of tomb will not have any good things in it if it is stolen in time, and the ancestors paid attention to entering the soil for safety, so they were buried for two hundred years and dug out to damage Yin Virtue.

The other is that the tombstone is well preserved and the ancient tomb is not stolen, this kind of tomb may have the main tomb, or there are side branches of the descendants, digging it irreverently and against morality.

The last one is that the tombs of famous ministers and wise men are not stolen, the ancestors have high merits and blessings for future generations, and there will be no vain people under the fame who cannot be offended, to put it bluntly, you just know where the tomb of the second brother Guan is, will you steal it? It's too late to worship, this is a thief and a way.

Although Ye Jiuqing is a tomb robber, he is also a very traditional person, although he is not expected to be loyal, filial piety and benevolence, but the word morality is definitely not contrived when it comes out of Ye Jiuqing's mouth.

What's more, his identity has long been a small fight, but if Ye Jiuqing wants to go out in person, it must be a big tomb, and people in the circle call him Ye Jiufeng in private, and the phoenix has no treasure, which means that the things in the tomb that are worthy of Ye Jiuqing's theft are definitely not simple.

That day, it was Zhang Ping and Cai Quan who came in from the outside, they usually followed the general to dig the grave, and the two of them looked flustered early in the morning, I casually asked what happened, and I didn't even want to raise my head when I was lazy.

Zhang Ping said that the tomb on the mountain behind the house in the east of the city was dug up, and I was shocked, and I didn't dare to believe it for a long time with my eyes wide.

Ye Jiuqing is a bold and righteous person, if his peers are in trouble in his territory, as long as they find a pawnshop in the Quartet, Ye Jiuqing will always help, so in the southwest tomb robbery business, Ye Jiuqing is mentioned with respect, but if he is provoked, even Ye Jiuqing, the king of heaven, will not admit it.

Tomb robbery is a life-threatening business, and those who can do this will not be good at stubble, so whether it is the Tufuzi in Changsha, Hunan or the southern barbarians in Lingnan, and further away is the nephew in the north and the most famous Guanzhong immortal official, these are the names of tomb robbers in different places in the industry.

If these people come to the southwest to step on the plate, whether it is a big tomb or a small tomb, they have to send Ye Jiuqing a worship post to worship the mountain, Ye Jiuqing has to nod before he can break ground on his territory, whether the goods are good or bad, the owner of the pot has to pay a few respects politely, which is called tribute.

Otherwise, if you mess up the rules, you have to weigh the weight of Ye Jiuqing's three words, maybe it's easy to go back when you come, I'm afraid it's not so simple, as the saying goes, a strong dragon can't overpower the head snake, not to mention that Ye Jiuqing doesn't look like a snake no matter how he looks at it.

Ye Jiuqing has a house with excellent feng shui outside the east of the city but rarely goes back, there is a mound behind the house, and anyone with a discerning eye knows that it is an ancient tomb at a glance, Ye Jiuqing's house is there, even if he knows that it is an ancient tomb, no one dares to move.

I've been to see that ancient tomb, the scale is not small, of course Ye Jiuqing won't do anything to eat grass on the edge of the nest, to be able to gain a foothold in this circle until now, in addition to the people in the circle to give face, there must also be a relationship on the white road, people don't move you, that's for you, it's for you, and people don't care what you do in secret, but you can't reach out and slap other people's faces on the table, if you really dig this tomb, you won't leave the handle to provoke right and wrong.

Ye Jiuqing understands this truth, and of course the people in the industry also know that even if they eat the bear's heart and leopard gall, they don't dare to break ground on Tai Suiye's head, once the tomb is dug up, it will have to be counted on Ye Jiuqing's head afterwards, this is not a deliberate slap in the face of Ye Jiuqing, and it will involve the pawnshop in all directions.

Cai Quan said that after checking around the tomb and finding that there was a robbery hole, but it had not yet been opened to the tomb, indicating that the tomb robbers had not yet succeeded, and there were traces of burial at the scene, and it was estimated that they would go at night, and they planned to tell Ye Jiuqing first to listen to the instructions, and the people in the pawnshop who spoke effectively were not there, so they could only wait for people to come back.

This is all bullied to the door where can you wait, in case someone succeeds in running away Ye Jiuqing is estimated that this face will not be able to hang up, I will let Zhang Ping and them take me There are two stunned people who did not move, knowing that they were afraid that they would be punished by Ye Jiuqing if they came back for making an assertion.

I glared at the two of them and said disapprenously, the sky is falling, and the master is on top, I am not afraid of a person who has signed a decision, what are you afraid of.

Zhang Ping and Cai Quan glanced at each other, probably knowing that this matter could not be delayed, so they nodded and took me there.

It was already evening when I arrived at the mound in the east of the city, Cai Quan took me to the robbery cave he had found, and looked down, the robbery hole had broken through the tomb wall, and there was still a rope tied to the tree next to it.

It seems that people have gone down to the tomb, and there is no one who has taken the wind and answered it around, Zhang Ping has investigated around and came back to tell me that only one person's footprints have been found.

I frowned and looked at the robbery hole again, it was three meters next to the ancient tomb and went straight down, it can be seen that the tomb robber had already accurately poked out the location of the main tomb, and this method of robbing the hole is rare in the southwest, like the general digging the tomb is from the top layer of the rammed earth obliquely to the robbery hole, directly to the main tomb, the error will definitely not exceed half a meter.

And the robbery hole in front of you is called the shaft, it is parallel to the tomb, digging down vertically and then digging through the tomb horizontally, this is the usual technique of the Southern Barbarians, such a craft is by no means ordinary people can master, it seems that the Southern Barbarians in the tomb are still veterans.

I beckoned Cai Quan and Zhang Ping to go nearby to guard the wind, since the rope is still on top, this person will not be able to run, after a few hours I saw a light in the thief hole below, it is estimated that he is going to slip away, look down and see a figure appear under the thief hole, and find that the rope is gone, most of them are also panicked, as soon as I look up, I turn on the flashlight, and the light just shines on the person's face.

Looking up under the thief hole in the light was a young man of the same age as me, I was stunned almost at the same time as him, looking at the method of stealing the hole, I wondered how this southern barbarian should be forty or fifty years old, how did I not expect that it was actually a young man, and when the earth rats are day and night, and the bad old men of the crooked melons and cracked dates in the pawn shops in the four directions are the same as the thieves and rats.

But the resolute face of the young man below is full of angular coldness, the two thick sword eyebrows contain sharp black eyes, and the corners of the mouth are thin and upturned as if there is a smile all the time, like a bright first quarter moon in the night sky, and the whole person exudes an uninhibited debauchery, but there is no trace of evil.
