Chapter 2: The Valley of the Wicked

I was taken back to Chengdu by the shopkeeper, he ran a small scale of pawnshop called Sifang in Xiaoguanmiao, in the 80s Xiaoguanmiao in Chengdu antique industry status equivalent to Pan Jiayuan, because every 12 o'clock in the evening to open the market, hence the name ghost market.

The shopkeeper's surname is Ye, and Ye Jiuqing's name was very popular in the Xiaoguanmiao ghost market at that time, but no one ever called him by his name, and always politely saluted the shopkeeper Ye.

There are only two ways to do antique business, the light is sold on the stall, and there are some people who dare not see the light, you dare to sell it, and some people dare to accept it.

Of course, Ye Jiuqing can't do anything that is smart and loses his head, so he has this pawnshop called Sifang, which only pawns and does not sell stolen goods, and as soon as the things are put on the counter, they will be valued and billed to give money, if they are really traced, they are pawns at best, and they can't be related to the stolen goods of tomb robbers.

Later, I figured out that all of them are selling dog meat with sheep's heads, and this Quartet pawnshop is actually a disguise, secretly doing it is a tomb robbery business, the southwest region calls tomb robbers a mouse, and the Quartet pawnshop is a rat nest, and the rat head is of course Ye Jiuqing, and everything is decided by him.

The following is the master Feng Cheng, who is responsible for collecting information and contacting the gold owner of the pot, and then Han Hu, who is specifically responsible for digging the grave, that is, the scar that was injured by me, and the person who is responsible for the appraisal is called Zhao Yan.

When I went to the Sifang pawnshop with Ye Jiuqing, he asked the general to push me to the firewood room like a chicken, boiled two large pots of hot water to wash me like a scalding pig, and threw me clothes as big as a robe......

Ye Jiuqing asked me to give me a bowl of rice with meat on it, and before I finished eating, he put a piece of paper in front of me, he said that the pawnshop has the rules of the pawnshop, and if you take the money from the pawnshop, you have to have something to mortgage if you can't afford it, and the same is true for eating the pawnshop's meal, I owe the pawnshop and have to sign the pawnshop first.

At that time, I just cared about filling my stomach and didn't understand what he was talking about, so I was grabbed by Ye Jiuqing in a daze, printed red clay and pressed my handprint on the pawn ticket, and he told me when it was finished, this pawn ticket is considered broken, which means that the thing is not redeemed within the time limit after being pawned, and this thing is considered a pawnshop.

I gave myself to Ye Jiuqing in a daze, and it was still broken, to put it simply, my life is not mine from the moment I pressed that handprint.

That's how I stayed in the Sifang pawnshop, and after a long time, I slowly found that the people in the Sifang pawnshop are not as bad as I thought, the first seven years I relied on my father to eat the dead and the funeral feast to live, and the next ten years, I was pulled up by this group of bad men who made a fortune from the dead, as I said at the beginning, I was raised by the dead This sentence is not an exaggeration.

I was just an apprentice at the beginning of the Sifang pawnshop, but everyone jokingly called me master, because when I first met Ye Jiuqing, I answered him arrogantly in the thief cave, and I was estimated to be the only one who dared to call Ye Jiuqing in front of Ye Jiuqing.

As the saying goes, follow a good person, learn a good person, follow Duangong to carry the evil god, and a child can learn something good every day with a gang of tomb robbers who are full of lawlessness and evil.

Ye Jiuqing is a master of tomb visiting, he has been forcing me to learn his tomb exploration techniques and skills, I don't know if I really have talent in this area, or because I have read my father's books since I was a child.

In fifteen years, I watched Ye Jiuqing slowly gain weight and gain weight, and when the flesh on his waist would shake when he walked, I had learned everything he taught me, and the only thing I didn't have was experience, because although Ye Jiuqing taught me to visit the tomb, he never let me participate in it.

The general will take me to some stolen tombs to teach me how to dig graves, from the very beginning how to use the Luoyang shovel, and even the first shovel to explore the cave is he taught me by hand, and then he robbed the hole and how to go down to the tomb to touch the treasure, he also scolded and taught me for fifteen years, never been subdued by him, but his body was beaten more and more porcelain by him.

When I first met him, he was a thirty-five man, and fifteen years later, I could see that he was a little powerless to breathe, probably because he couldn't move me, and at the same time he also told Ye Jiuqing that he had nothing to teach me anymore.

In addition to being taught these by Ye Jiuqing and the general, I spent most of the rest of my time with Feng Cheng, he is quite similar to my father, his only hobby is reading, he also forced me to read and also taught me the things in the book, Feng Cheng is very strict and does not talk much, but they are all into the wood, three points, and they are rich in learning, five cars, and the ancient and the present.

Feng Cheng said that I am talented, intelligent and witty, and I also have the ability to never forget, so what he taught, I can always quickly become familiar with the heart and understand it, all say that hooligans are not terrible, I am afraid that hooligans are educated, when I was twenty-three years old, Xiaoguanmiao ghost market, we all know that the Sifang pawnshop has a Gu Xiaoye who can play hooligans and culture.

When the court is dedicated to Zhao Yan, he is still old and not serious in his sixties, he was the one who played me Niu Niu back then, as long as he went up to the counter, he kept a straight face and did not smile, although he stared at anyone with reading glasses and was cold, and he was called King Zhao Yan in the industry.

It's not how powerful he is, the king of Hades judges life and death, he judges the authenticity, and the pawned goods pass through Zhao Yan's hands, and the authenticity can be broken in less than half a minute, and Zhao Yan taught me how to identify and distinguish the authenticity of antiques.

They forced me to learn these skills for fifteen years, but I have no interest in this industry at all, under their tutelage, I am sleek and arrogant, almost everyone in the pawnshop except Ye Jiuqing has been tricked by me, they are afraid that Ye Jiuqing at least he is reasonable, and I am cynical and all based on preference.

I was seven years old when I first arrived at the Sifang pawnshop, and fifteen years later, they really regarded me as a master.

But as I learned more and more, I gradually realized some things that I didn't notice when I was a child.

When I first met Ye Jiuqing and them, the kind of clothes they wore with cloaks but no sleeves were called mouse clothes, which were specially worn by earth rats at night.

Not only was it able to conceal its whereabouts but it was easy to move around, and although I didn't know the name of the garment at the time, I recognized it at a glance, because my father also had one of these mouse suits.

I still remember when I was a child, every time my father went to carry the coffin for burial, he would always grab a handful of soil from the bottom of the grave and rub it, but now I think about it carefully, I understand that my father was judging the composition of these soil at that time, and the technique is exactly the same as the tomb exploration technique that Ye Jiuqing taught me.

There is also the ancient book of Feng Shui Kanyu that enters the eyes of the earth, I have also seen it in the bookshelf of the seal, but I don't know if it is the reason for the version, the content of the eyes of the earth seen in the seal is obviously different from my father's, and the father's record is more detailed and accurate, and even many of the seals are not collected in the eyes of the ground.

Although it is said that the eye into the earth is a strange book of feng shui, but there are two sides to everything, proficient in the eye of the earth can find the treasure of feng shui for people to be buried, and at the same time, you can also find the location of the mausoleum according to the records on the eye of the earth, it took me a long time to understand and accept the fact that my father is probably not a simple five ghost coffin bearer, he is secretly more like a tomb robber!

As I grew older, I discovered that my father, who I thought was the closest to me, had too many secrets that I didn't even know his true identity, until I compared the coordinates on the map with the hardcover notes I burned in the mountains, and I learned that my father was weird.

From those intermittent and incomplete diaries, I can tell that my father is a soldier who once participated in the state's top secret experiments, but my father is probably involved in much more secrets.

I often sketch in my mind a taciturn mountain coffin bearer and a soldier with a mysterious background and an unknown tomb robber, these are the three identities of my father that I know so far, but even if I rack my brains, I have never been able to relate these three completely unrelated identities to one person.

My father is like an unsolvable mystery to me, I grew up in a pawnshop in the four directions, and they taught me to be happy and revenge, not to mention that the revenge of killing my father is not shared, and I have always wanted to find out who killed my father back then.

But after all, I was so young at that time that I didn't even see the faces of the three people clearly, I only remember that the person standing at the back vaguely saw a tattoo on his wrist before he started.

But it was too long, and I was hiding far away to see it too clearly, and the tattoo pattern had become blurry in my mind.

I don't want to learn anything related to tomb robbing from Ye Jiuqing and them, but if my father is also related to tomb robbing, he may be able to find some clues from this circle, I always pay attention to the wrists of every pawnshop shipper who comes to Sifang, and it has been fifteen years at a glance, but I have never seen the vague tattoos in my memory.

As time passed, the tattoo became more and more unclear in my mind, and I knew in my heart that the hope of avenging my father was slim, but this belief never faded in the slightest.
