Tomb robbery, this is China's oldest and most mysterious crime, the earliest records of tomb robbery can be traced back to the Zhou Dynasty, tomb robbery practitioners are often those poor people who do not have enough to eat, they do not hesitate to take risks to make a living in the underground in order to have something to eat, but many have died in the ancient tombs, but do not rob the tombs, but will starve to death in real life, anyway, they are all dead, so there are always people who will fight, and later tomb robbery evolved into the family industry of some families, father and son succession, brother and brother and brother. www.biquge.infoTomb robbery activities have been rampant in ancient China, and the great reason is the ancient Chinese atmosphere of thick burials, when the poor have no way out, the treasures buried in the ground by the rich have become their hope of survival. Since ancient times, all dynasties and generations have severe punishments for tomb robbers, this punishment is not only derived from the law, but also from folk customs, the court formulated laws to stop tomb robbery just to maintain social stability, protect people's property, and for folk customs, they punish tomb robbers more because of clan concepts, feng shui and so on. Therefore, tomb robbing is a dangerous business, and unlike many people's thoughts, the biggest risk of tomb robbing does not come from underground, but from aboveground. The danger of the underground is nothing more than the danger brought by the geological environment, such as landslides, poisonous gases produced in the tomb all year round, etc., and most of the man-made ones are traps, of course, there are people who combine the two, and everyone is most familiar with the quicksand tomb and the underwater tomb. These underground grave robbers often have a lot of experience and can generally avoid them well. However, for the dangers on the ground, tomb robbers cannot be avoided by experience, as long as something happens on the ground, they can only watch their fate. Because the punishment they may face is less severe than distribution and exile, and the heavier punishment may be hanging and Ling Chi.

Song Jiu, a native of Shandong, was born in the ninth year of the Republic of China. The Song family has been robbing tombs for a living for generations, and Song Jiu's father naturally embarked on the road of tomb robbing, relying on the money obtained from tomb robbing to maintain the family's life, and his life is not bad. Before Song Jiu was born, the only thing that Song Jiu's father regretted was that he did not have children of his own. Song Jiu's father had eight children, but they all died at an early age for various reasons, and his father thought that his family was doing a lack of morality, which led to his family's lack of prosperity, so after Song Jiu was born, in order to leave some incense for the Song family, wash his hands in a golden basin, and no longer do the tomb robbery, he used the little capital accumulated by the tomb robbery to open an antique shop in the county, and the business was not bad, and the most important thing is that Song Jiu finally miraculously survived, and Song Jiu became the only seedling in the family. Song Jiu's father loves his only son very much, and gives Song Jiu good food and drink, in order to make his son have a chance in the future, and in order to end the fate of his family's generations of tomb robbers, Song Jiu received a good education since he was a child, and later Song Jiu was sent to Europe by his father to stay abroad, Song Jiu knew his father's thoughts, that is, to return from Europe in the future, so that the Song family could become famous.

But to his father's surprise, Song Jiu came to Europe to study archaeology, Song Jiu's father was very angry when he found out, but he was also helpless, feeling that this was providence. Song Jiu originally planned to return to China after completing his studies, but the arrival of World War II disrupted his plans, and Song Jiu gave up the idea of returning to China and stayed in Europe. At that time, the war in Europe was not endless, and it was impossible for Song Jiu to find a cultural job, so in order to be able to have something to eat, Song Jiu participated in the expedition team of a certain European country at that time, and constantly went to Africa, West Asia, South America and other places to explore, in fact, it was not so much an expedition, in fact, it was a job similar to that of a tomb robber, and the main job was to rob the cultural relics of other countries for the country until the end of World War II. When he learned that New China had been founded, Song Jiu returned to China full of ambition. According to his words, China is the palace of world culture, and the treasure of the world is not in Europe, but in China. So he resolutely quit his high-paying job in Europe at the time and returned to his homeland.

After Song Jiu returned to China, he was assigned to the Cultural Bureau to engage in archaeological work, when the war had just ended in China, and all sectors of society were devastated by the war, many historical relics were damaged because of the war, and important cultural relics were lost, so it was imperative to protect cultural relics.

In order to make a contribution to the cultural protection of New China, he led the archaeological team members to travel all over the country, restore cultural relics, survey ancient tombs, and made great contributions to the protection of cultural relics in the country. But he didn't pay attention to his marital problems. It wasn't until Song Jiu was thirty years old that he was introduced by the organization and married Li Wen, a girl from a family surnamed Li.

In the early 60s of the last century, Song Jiu learned an important news from a foreign friend: a tomb robber gang from a certain country had entered China to find a treasure from ancient China. Song Jiu was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly asked the friend what treasure the gang wanted to get, but the foreign friend said that he didn't know what it was, and he also learned the news by accident. and told Song Jiu that there was a government behind this mysterious tomb robbery gang. Song Jiu later reported to his superiors and requested, hoping that he could break into the tomb robber gang, find out what the tomb robber gang wanted to get, and get it before the tomb robber gang got it. However, because Song Jiu was unable to tell exactly what treasures the foreign tomb robbers were looking for in China, and because of the reliability of the information, the higher authorities rejected Song Jiu's request. Faced with the rejection of his request, Song Jiu suspended his work and launched an investigation alone, and since then Song Jiu has disappeared from everyone's sight, and the year Song Jiu disappeared was the year when Song Jiu's son was born, so Song Jiu's wife named her son Song Zhi, which means waiting. Later, Song Jiu's wife inquired about Song Jiu's whereabouts, and some people said that they had seen him in Gansu, and some said that they had seen him in Sichuan, but no one knew where he was. Later, during the Cultural Revolution, Song Jiu's wife and son were imprisoned in the cowshed because of Song Jiu's family, and were later sent back to Song Jiu's hometown, but at this time, Song Jiu, who had been away for 7 years, suddenly returned.

That night, Song Jiu secretly climbed the wall of his house and climbed over the wall. Li Wen saw that his husband was back, not to mention how happy he was, but he was not happy for too long, but Song Jiu told Li Wen that he originally wanted to go back to the unit first, but found that all the people in the unit had been arrested, and he later heard that his wife and children were escorted back to his hometown for trial, so he came overnight, but he was discovered by the Red Guards on the way back, and told his wife that the Red Guards might soon find this place, and he must run away immediately. Before escaping, Song Jiu handed over a box to his wife and told her to put it away. Since then, Song Jiu has never appeared again, disappearing into that turbulent era. Later, Song Jiu's wife also fell ill and died at home, leaving behind a son who was only 8 years old.

This is the story of my grandfather, my father told me when I was a child, at first I just felt that listening to the story was fun, and then slowly I became interested in the things in the story, I kept pestering my father to ask him to tell me about my grandfather's tomb robbery, but my father shook his head, saying that he was still young at that time, and he didn't know many things, so he couldn't tell me more details. My dad was a worker, worked in a factory, and fought all his life for the economic construction of the motherland, and my family's history of tomb robbing seemed to have ended since my dad.

When I was a child, robbing the tomb was a very interesting thing for me, I always felt that digging a grave would have a treasure, so I very much hoped that one day I could also rob the tomb, until later when I was in elementary school, I came home from school and found a grave on the way home, I was secretly happy, I thought he was an ancient tomb, so I went home and got tools, called my good friend Li Dajia secretly ran to the grave, picked up the tools and dug up, and finally opened the grave, entered it, and found a coffin inside, when he was young, I don't know anything like ghosts, so there's nothing to be afraid of. I opened the coffin with Dajia and took out all the contents of the coffin, and Li Dajia insisted on sharing the things with me equally, but I couldn't resist him so I had to give him half of it, and we went back to our respective homes. When I got home, I secretly dug up something from the grave and hid it under the bed, my dad saw that I was disgraced and didn't know what I was going to do, knowing that I loved to be naughty, so he gave me a change of clothes, and didn't ask much, until a group of people ran to my house violently, I didn't know that the grave I dug was his family, the ending was very miserable, I was beaten by my father, and finally the family paid to help people repair the grave and compensate for the matter before the matter was over, of course, Li Dajia did not escape, and was beaten by his father for several days and couldn't get out of bed. Although it didn't end well, it made me remember such activities as tomb robbing and other activities that I didn't hesitate to choose archaeology when I went to university. After graduating from high school, he was sent by his family to work in a drilling team, living in the wild all day long, and the two of us often contacted, I always like to call him fat, because he is really fat.

After graduating from university, I first worked as a temporary worker in an archaeological team, but because I couldn't get the staff, I felt that it was not interesting to continue to mix, so I quit my job. After resigning, I didn't find any job, so I squatted at home and played games and computers every day, and slept all day, when my game account was about to be closed, I was sent by my dad to the White Horse Temple to follow the Pratt & Whitney old Taoist martial arts, and some Taoist Feng Shui Five Elements Doctrine, hoping that I could quit Internet addiction. At that time, there was a man named Yang Zhi who studied with me with Pratt & Whitney Lao Dao, Yang Zhi's parents died, and he was later taken in by Pratt & Whitney Lao Dao to study with me, usually called me senior brother, this person I have always felt that he has a brain disease, usually not good at words, he can't say a few words all day long, always standing aside with a blank face, Puhui Lao Dao taught me things, he learned martial arts very well, and remembered quickly, but once it came to the Taoist theory of feng shui, Yang Zhi was not good, and he couldn't learn it at all. But he has one thing that I like, that is, he listens to me, even if I let him hit the wall, as long as I don't say stop, he will crash and never stop.

I thought that I would be able to learn for a year and a half, but I didn't expect that a study would be three years, until one day I told Puhui that I wanted to go down the mountain, Puhui was very happy after hearing it, and told me to work hard, and let Yang Zhi go down the mountain with me after I calculated a hexagram, at that time I was very puzzled, why let Yang Zhi follow me, the master told me that Yang Zhi would help me to stay by my side in the future, and I reluctantly accepted him.

After going down the mountain, I asked my family for some money, I wanted to start my own business, but I didn't know what to do if I had money in my hand, and then I took into account the major I learned in the past, so I opened an antique shop, selling some antiques and the like, and the business also said in the past, usually Yang Zhi helped in the store, helped me sweep the floor, wiped the table, and I was only responsible for receiving customers.

Later, the fat man came to me because the drilling team was disbanded and had no way out, and the three of us ran an antique shop from then on.

It seems that my life should be completed here, but the mystery left by my grandfather has become a lingering shadow in my heart, and I have always had a wish to solve those mysteries, what did my grandfather find, where is the box left by my grandfather, whether my grandfather is still alive, what he is looking for, whether he has found it, this question makes me naturally curious.
