Chapter 1 Introduction
There are two types of tomb robberies: one is day robbery and the other is night robbery.
There are also two kinds of grave watch: one is a day vigil and the other is a night vigil.
The so-called day thief is to enter the tomb during the day, because although the mausoleum is buried in the ground all year round, it is also divided into yang and yin. Some people believe that during the day, when the yang energy is at its highest, the yin energy in the tomb is the lowest, and entering the tomb can minimize the unknown danger. But although the danger is much lower, it is relative. So very few people do that.
As for the reason, there are different opinions, but one of them is a very common statement, that is, the day thief into the tomb, after passing through the various organs in the tomb, the sun almost set, the yin gradually aggravated, and the day thief has an obvious law, where the noon tomb robbery, must be out of the tomb, the specific reason is unknown. And when the child time coincides with the time when the yin qi is at its heaviest, the danger will be greatly increased. The chance of contamination with unclean things is also much higher. Therefore, most of the people who choose to rob the day are some old guys who are about to die, or some people who are tormented by filthy things, and they hope to give themselves and their descendants an explanation.
Compared with day robbers, night robbers are a way of tomb robbing chosen by most inverted fighters. Although it is dangerous, the process is exactly the opposite of the day thief, entering the tomb after dark, and rising at sunrise, although the way is different, but it is a real sense to minimize the danger. After all, to be able to engage in this industry, which is not to live with their heads on the waistband of their trousers, most of the inverted people want to make a windfall, but if they have a life, they must also have a life, as long as they are not forced to do so, they will not choose to enter the tomb during the day.
As the saying goes, where there is white, there will be black, and if there is good, there will be bad. Naturally, tomb robbers also have rivals, that is, grave keepers.
When it comes to grave keepers, it is not simply a matter of looking at the cemetery as it is literally understood. This group of them is not the caretaker of the so-called imperial tomb as we think, but the tomb keeper in a broad sense, whether it is a cemetery that has been discovered, or a cemetery that is not known to the world, the grave keeper will be seen.
So much so that there is a saying in these two circles, that is, as long as you see a tomb robber, there will be a grave keeper, and in the same way, when you see a grave keeper, you will know that there must be a large tomb within a radius of a few miles. This has become an almost constant fact.
Because of the relationship between the inverted bucket, the grave keepers are also divided into two kinds of people: day vigil and night vigil.
And their purpose is not simply to prevent tomb robbers, this is only one aspect of it, and more is to carry out the contents of the tomb, which is their fundamental duty.
I believe everyone knows more or less about the history of tomb robbing, whether it is from novels or from TV or the Internet, they will understand a little bit, the earliest tomb robbery is not actually for getting rich, but for revenge, the origin of this probably not many people know, even the tomb robbery about revenge in the "Historical Records" can be said to be like gold.
"No, but dig up the tomb of King Chuping, take out his corpse, whip three hundred, and then it's done."
It is to the effect that Wu Zixu wants to avenge his father and brother, but at this time, King Chuping has already been dead for five years, although he can't take revenge with his own hands, but he also has to whip the corpse three hundred.
Later, when Cao Cao came, he really started tomb robbery in order to make a fortune, so that almost half of the unearthed cultural relics were from the hands of tomb robbers.
But when it comes to grave keepers, I believe everyone doesn't have a very clear concept. Because the time of the appearance of the grave keeper may not even be known to them, it is not clear. However, from the materials handed down from generation to generation, and some unverifiable stories, they can be roughly traced back to the Qin Dynasty and the period of Qin Shi Huang.
It is said that the first generation of tomb keepers only guarded the tomb of Qin Shi Huang in a simple sense, preventing tomb robbers from visiting Qin Shi Huang's mausoleum. It's just that with the passage of time, the grave keeper is no longer a profession similar to the janitor in the past.
The pillar knelt quietly in front of the master's grave, and there was a big black dog lying next to him, a person and a dog stayed motionless, unwilling to leave for a long time, looking at this little old man who was like a reborn parent, had been buried under the loess, turned into dry bones, and his heart was extremely uncomfortable. It was he who taught himself the ability of this body, although bitter, although tired, but looking back, the bitterness of the year and the current mood are so happy.
No one knows how long the pillar knelt in front of the master's grave, only that in the end, the pillar slowly got up and left without looking back.
The story has to start when the pillar was three years old, no one knows where the pillar is from, including his adoptive parents, they only know that when it was just dark on the twenty-third day of the lunar month, the old couple were about to turn off the lights and go to bed when they suddenly heard a rapid knock on the door, and when the two of them went to open the door, they only saw a small bamboo basket on the ground at the door, and in the bamboo basket, a little boy wrapped in a small flower quilt slept very sweetly, as if he didn't know that he had been abandoned by his biological parents. Wang Ping and his wife are 55 years old this year, and they had a daughter before, but unfortunately they died before their birthdays.
Wang Ping looked around cautiously, not to mention that it was a person, even the dogs in the village had never barked, Wang Ping was very strange, but his wife was very happy, and said again and again, "Thank God for your kindness and giving us a child!" After speaking, he carried the bamboo basket and pulled Wang Ping, who was still looking around, back to the house.
To say that this child is really likable, Wang Ping was very opposed to his wife bringing the child home, although he has no children under his knees, but a child comes out for no reason, and it will cause other people's gossip in the village. But when he saw the child, he liked it for no reason, and it was a big deal to wait until the child's biological parents found him to return the child to them.
Thinking of this, Wang Ping also summed up with his wife, who do you say would be so ruthless to abandon his own flesh and blood?
When Wang Ping's wife took the child out, Wang Ping saw that there was still a piece of paper in the bamboo basket, and after opening it, he found that it was a letter.
The letter wrote: "I hope that the well-wishers will adopt, not that we want to abandon it, but because we have no choice but to do so, thank you, and please treat him like your own child." Parents who can't help themselves, no pen. ”
Wang Ping looked at the letter in his hand in a daze, it seemed that the child's parents also had unspeakable hardships, sighed slightly and then put the letter away, came to the kang, and looked at the little boy in front of him.
In the end, the old couple racked their brains to give the child a name, named Wang Erzhu, after all, for rural people with little culture, it is good to be able to give a name, and Wang Ping also hopes that the name is easy to feed, after all, the child's life is so hard, it is true to live well.
But often the sky does not follow people's wishes, it seems that God has been embarrassed by this hard-working family, when the pillar was three years old, Wang Ping was found to have leukemia, this news almost crushed the old couple.
