Chapter 681: Holding Treasure

"So powerful?" It seems that there is a strong interest, Qiu Lao asked.

"Well, it's very powerful, however, this kind of people, most of them belong to the kind of idle clouds and wild cranes, it is said that there are many rules in the door, but the organization is loose, most of them are alone, if you want to find one, it is not easy, because, in recent decades, few people have seen the authentic heirs, and some are just hearsay deceiving gods and ghosts, and they can't be believed."

When I said this, I rolled my eyelids and thought about it, and when I saw that I was suddenly speechless, Qiu Lao was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "Why didn't you say it?" You haven't sued me yet, who are those? ”

"Say it, you should have heard of it, it's not an outlandish business." I said, pausing deliberately, then handed him a cigarette and lit it, and said, "Do you know, the shepherd who holds the treasure? ”

"You mean the ??? of the treasure?" Hearing this, the other party was taken aback, and then asked me as if he had some important clue: "Do you know anything about Baobao?" ”

"I only know one thing from the mouths of my predecessors, when I was a child, my grandfather had an old friend, who did this, this kind of person, the ability is very great, but like the Maoshan Taoist, he learned the ability to work hard, and he couldn't run away from the five disadvantages and three lacks or something. In fact, almost all mortals who are proficient in magic cannot escape this fate, perhaps, in order to maintain the so-called balance. ”

"You wait a minute, don't divert the topic, what I want to ask is, how much do you know about this kind of treasure-holding business?" Stretching out his hand and pressing it down, Qiu Lao asked me earnestly.

"Not much." With a wry smile, I said.

In fact, holding treasure is a long-standing industry, this kind of people, belongs to the scope of the eight outer lines, however, compared to those tomb robbers, people who do this, often much better, in the tomb robbery industry, in fact, there is a distinction between the north and the south, the people of the south faction, more casual, find a tomb and empty a tomb, as long as you can get money, do everything, sometimes, even the body and coffin of the tomb owner do not let go, this is not a su zhì problem, but tradition, which can be seen from the ancestor of the southern school.

As for the northern faction, it is relatively gentle, most of these people have strange skills, orthodox, most of them have inheritance, turn it up, and most of the people who have skills are Faqiu Tianguan and Touching Jin Xiaowei.

Their method of robbing tombs is rooted in folk magic, and many times it is mixed with Taoist things, and, thinking that back then, Cao Cao's purpose in setting up official thieves was to raise military salaries.

I have read the relevant information, and I don't know if it is true, it is said that after the official position of Captain Jin was banned, the descendants of the two families who are still engaged in this kind of thing believe in the same rule, enter the tomb, and light candles in the southeast corner, because the east is a B wood, and the south is a Ding fire, and there is a special one.

There is a saying that when these two families opened the door and set up a faction, they signed a contract with the deceased, and the dead souls in the tomb knew such a rule, lighting a candle in the southeast corner, it was asking for directions, which means that the eldest brother and sister, the younger brother is the descendant of the golden captain or the Faqiu Tianguan, and now they can't live, begging you for food, giving the younger brother face, you don't move, I will take a thing from your tomb and go, and exchange it for money to make a living, and it should be rewarded to the little one. If you don't agree, don't be angry, blow out the candle in one breath, and the little brother will leave immediately and never come back.

This practice sounds a bit silly, and it always feels like a god chattering, but, hundreds of years ago, it is indeed passed down like this, Faqiu Tianguan is on the verge of extinction, and it is not clear what it is, but Touching Jin Xiaowei has always had this tradition, and it is precisely because, subconsciously, the respect and fear for the owner of the tomb, the two tomb robbers of the northern faction and the Zheng'er Bajing all pursue the same principle, and never destroy the body of the tomb owner unless it is absolutely necessary, which is very different from the south.

When talking about this, some people should be unconvinced, saying, you kid is blind, how can there be such a thing, back then, when Sun Dianying robbed Cixi's tomb, didn't a lot of things happen in a mess, blowing up the Huangling, raping the corpse of the adulterer, splitting the coffin, in order to pull out the beads in Cixi's mouth, the chin was opened, and said that when he took the one in the anus, he split off his thighs, and when the prince went in, his thighs were all horizontal at the door

That's right, at that time, it was really chaotic, but it was a folk thief, and the bullshit didn't understand, and it couldn't be compared with these two at all.

But then again, no matter how many rules there are, no matter how much leeway there is to do things, the business of robbing tombs is also ill-gotten gains, and the word "robbery" is very accurate, what is "theft"? It's stealing, stealing things from the living is stealing, stealing things from the dead, it's also stealing, so even in the old society of the eight lines and the ninth rate, tomb robbers are also a kind of contemptible, compared to it, the treasure is more or less better.

What is Treasure? Most of the northerners are not familiar with it, in the north, this kind of business is not called holding treasure, it is called Xiangling, it is the same thing, most of the people who hold the treasure have strange arts, have magical powers and mana, and can feel the "treasure" emitted by the pearl and jade, and then find out the hiding place of the treasure.

As mentioned earlier, gold, silver, copper coins, pearls, agate, jade, jade, and jade are often buried deep underneath for some reason. And because of the fact that all rare things are old and refined, people with supernatural powers can find out the subtle influence of these things on the leylines and the environment, and after finding the right location, they will try their best to take them out and take them for themselves.

This process is what we call holding treasures, but they don't call it that, other people have a term, called "holding sheep", "holding sheep" of "holding sheep", and correspondingly, doing this self-proclaimed "sheepherd", just like the tomb robber calls himself "the craftsman of the inverted bucket", which is both secret and good-sounding.

In fact, the reason why the person who holds the treasure has a better reputation than the tomb robber is that it is good on this, the tomb robber takes the owner's thing, so it is a thief, and the person who holds the treasure is looking for it, although it is not his own thing, but, in general, it is an ownerless thing, he doesn't say it, no one knows, so this kind of person is not as hated as the tomb robber.

However, in the final analysis, this money is not his own, so the fate of those who make a fortune from it is not good.
