Chapter 167: The Tomb According to the Map

Zhu Zihua carried a large cloth bag on his back, sneakily wandering around the mountain recess, and from time to time took out a piece of paper and compared it to the surrounding terrain.

After graduating from high school, he had no skills and no background to rely on, and he has been unemployed at home.

One late autumn, Zhu Zihua was bored wandering in the mountains, wanting to pick some wild chestnuts and sell them in the market town to make a living, but he accidentally found an old man lying on the ground by the side of a ravine.

The old man lay on his side, his face without a trace of blood, his lips were blue, and his eyes were deeply sunken. The young and vigorous Zhu Zihua did not feel the slightest fear, but felt pity because he heard the old man shouting "I want to drink water" in a low voice.

Zhu Zihua handed the half bottle of mineral water in his hand to the old man, and the old man took a few sips, and drank half a bottle of water in a blink of an eye. After a long time, the old man recovered a little bit of energy, and with great difficulty, he took out a golden bracelet from his body and gave it to Zhu Zihua.

Zhu Zihua didn't expect that he was so kind that he actually exchanged half a bottle of mineral water for a huge gold bracelet, and he was ecstatic.

Zhu Zihua, who usually likes to read martial arts books, suddenly thought of the various adventures of the protagonist in the book, and he secretly thought in his heart that the old man in front of him must be an unusual character.

Zhu Zihua, who was quite scheming, pretended to be resolute not to accept the old man's valuable gifts. The old man looked up to the sky and sighed, "Young man, you can take it, I am a dying man, and this thing has no meaning to me." ”

The old man told Zhu Zihua that he was a famous 'ghost hand sixth uncle' in the tomb robbery industry. With only a Luoyang shovel, relying on his years of experience, he can see from the terrain and soil where there are ancient tombs, and almost never misses.

Last night, Uncle Ghost Hand stole another ancient tomb. To his surprise, in addition to a large amount of gold, silver and jewelry, this ancient tomb also made Uncle Ghost Hand Sixth feel an unprecedented sense of fear.

"Trespassers, die!" The few curse words engraved on the coffin made the sixth uncle of the ghost hand feel frightened, and he only felt that the evil aura around him was compelling.

Looking at the several pairs of white bones piled up on the ground, Uncle Ghost Hand understood that those tomb robbers had all died in this tomb, so the treasures in the tomb were intact.

Just when the sixth uncle of the ghost heart was in doubt, the tomb began to shake violently. The sixth uncle of the ghost hand was shocked, and the instinct to survive made him have no time to take care of so many treasures in front of him, so he grabbed a gold bracelet and fled out of the tomb in a panic.

Just as he crawled out of the tomb, the tomb collapsed, and the sixth uncle of the ghost hand felt that his eyes were dark and he fell unconscious.

When he awoke, he found himself immobile, sick and thirsty.

Uncle Ghost Hand knew that he had offended the ghost of his master in the tomb, and he was cursed with death, and he was about to return to the West. Although he knew that he would not escape death, he was unwilling to lose his knowledge of robbing tombs.

The sixth uncle of the ghost hand saw the young man in front of him, and he was very shrewd, and he decided to accept him as his heir before his death.

Uncle Ghost Hand Sixth wrote down his life's experience and experience of tomb robbing in a thick book, and he asked Zhu Zihua to make a poisonous oath, willing to worship him as a teacher, and bury him well after his death, so he handed over the book that condensed his life's work to Zhu Zihua.

After Zhu Zihua dug a pit and buried the sixth uncle of the ghost hand, he returned to his residence with his tomb robbery notebook. Although his grades were not good when he was studying, Zhu Zihua was deeply fascinated by the legendary experience recorded in the book of the sixth uncle of the ghost hand, and he studied it very carefully.

Zhu Zihua, who is extremely talented, finally mastered the superb tomb robbery technique. After a small trial, he found that the experience taught by the sixth uncle of the ghost hand had been tried repeatedly, so in just two or three years, he became rich by robbing tombs.

After having a net worth of tens of millions, Zhu Zihua began to envy the life of the upper class, so he devoted himself to the real estate industry. With his cleverness and ability and the huge amount of money brought by tomb robbing, within a few years, he became the most super-rich person in the local area.

After meeting the village chief Zhou Shuntian due to land acquisition for development, Zhu Zihua also fell in love with Zhou Shuntian's only daughter Zhou Lihua. In a chance encounter after the two got married, Zhou Shuntian and his son-in-law Zhu Zihua were drinking, and on a whim, they revealed a shocking secret to Zhu Zihua.

This matter can be traced back to the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, when Guo Wei was proclaimed emperor and established the Later Zhou regime, and Zhao Kuangyin served as an officer of the forbidden army. Guo Wei had no queen and made his nephew Chai Rong the crown prince. After Guo Wei's death, Chai Rong ascended the throne and was known as Zhou Shizong.

In 960 AD, in the name of "calming the two states", he lied about the Khitan and the Northern Han Dynasty to invade the south.

At this time, Zhou Shizong Chai Rong had died, and his son Chai Zongxun succeeded to the throne when he was only 7 years old. Zhao Kuangyin, his younger brother Zhao Kuangyi, and his staff Zhao Pu conspired to usurp the throne. He led the troops to the battle, launched the Chenqiao Mutiny, added the yellow robe, proclaimed himself emperor on behalf of Zhou, established the Song Dynasty, and set the capital Kaifeng.

After Zhao Kuangyin became the emperor, he always felt ashamed of the Chai family, so he treated the descendants of the Chai family with kindness to high-ranking officials, but they had no power but no power, so that the descendants of the Chai family only enjoyed glory and wealth.

The descendants of the Chai family fell to Qianxian County and settled down. Later, a heroic man came out of this Zhichai family, who supported his family and accumulated treasures that rivaled the wealth.

In order to avoid the continuous wars of Song Liao for many years, this outstanding descendant of the Chai family ordered the whole clan to change the surname Chai to the surname Zhou, and the whole clan respectfully called him the old lady Zhou.

When Mrs. Zhou was sixty years old, she couldn't afford to be sick and knew that she was about to die, so she spent a lot of money to build a luxurious tomb comparable to the king.

In order to prevent future generations from robbing the tomb, Mrs. Zhou set up an ingenious poisonous plan to make all the people involved in his tomb die or disappear mysteriously. Since then, the tomb of Mrs. Zhou has become an unsolved case, and no one knows about it anymore.

On her deathbed, Mrs. Zhou gave the drawings of his grave to his only son and warned him that a curse had been placed in his tomb and that future generations were not allowed to open his grave. After the sixty generations of descendants, at that time, the old lady Zhou will be reincarnated, and at this time, his sixtieth generation grandson can take out the rich treasure in the tomb according to the map.

Old Lady Zhou sealed the drawings in a brocade box with fire wax, and added his proud work, that is, how he managed to kill the people who participated in his tomb.

Zhou Shuntian took advantage of the wine to really boast to his son-in-law Zhu Zihua, and took out the brocade box sealed with fire wax and showed it to Zhu Zihua.

Since then, although he is worth tens of millions, Zhu Zihua, who still has grand ideals, has secretly remembered this brocade box. One is greedy for the treasure of the rich country in the picture received in this brocade box, and the other is that listening to Zhou Shuntian say it so mysteriously, he doesn't feel itchy for a moment when he robs tombs.

After Zhou Shuntian woke up, he regretted that he had confided this shocking secret. Although he is his son-in-law, Zhou Shuntian is also careful to be on guard, no matter how Zhu Zihua tries afterwards, Zhou Shuntian will never mention it.

After seeing his son-in-law's greed, Zhou Shuntian had an ominous premonition. Therefore, he quietly left the brocade box to his daughter Zhou Lihua, and at the same time dictated this big secret.

Sure enough, Zhou Shuntian's worries soon became a reality. Zhu Zihua, who coveted this picture, carefully designed an ingenious 'accident', and Zhou Shuntian died unexpectedly in an accident.

After Zhou Shuntian's death, Zhu Zihua searched for the brocade box many times without success, and he knew in his heart that it must be his father-in-law who passed on this secret to his daughter and his wife Zhou Lihua.

And when the relationship between the couple began to crack, Zhou Lihua also had a few more eyes on Zhu Zihua, and became suspicious of him often rummaging through things anxiously. Therefore, Zhou Lihua quietly locked the brocade box and her private property in the safe in her bedroom.

Zhu Zihua racked his brains and couldn't get it, so, in desperation, he thought of stealing, so he contacted the unemployed vagrant Xu Bin.

To Zhu Zihua's surprise, although Xu Bin stole the brocade box, he killed his wife Zhou Lihua.

Although the relationship between Zhu Zihua and Zhou Lihua broke down, Zhu Zihua still loved Zhou Lihua deep down. His painful performance when he was in the criminal police brigade really came from the heart, and it was a sense of guilt for Zhou Lihua.

Last night, Zhu Zihua secretly met with Xu Bin, agreed to Xu Bin's blackmail conditions, and got the brocade box as he wished.

When Zhu Zihua carefully removed the sealing wax on the brocade box, he was surprised to find that the picture inside was intact after hundreds of years.

What surprised Zhu Zihua even more was that the location of Mrs. Zhou's tomb marked on the drawings was actually located on the small hillside where he often went to play when he was a child.

Zhu Zihua was excited in his heart, he never thought that what he was about to open was a strange tomb, which was full of murderous intentions and vicious curses on tomb robbers.
