Later, grandpa accepted two apprentices, one is Su Yunfei, that is, Uncle Su, and the other is Zhou Yong, at first grandpa just taught them to make furniture as a carpenter, but the two soon found out that grandpa was a tomb robber, and he was also a well-known captain who touched gold.

(It needs to be said here that the tomb is based on technology, for example, the people who touch the gold faction are to light candles, and all those who enter the tomb dungeon must light a candle in the southeast corner of the coffin of the tomb owner, and then open the coffin to touch the gold, and do not damage the bones of the tomb owner, touch the bones of the tomb owner lightly from head to foot, and finally must leave one or two treasures for the tomb owner, in between, if the candle in the southeast corner is extinguished, you must put back the treasure in your hand as it is, and the father-in-law respectfully kowtows three heads, and exits according to the original way.)

In addition, in history, no matter which school of tomb robbers, there are four words of "looking", "smelling", "asking" and "cutting", which refers to the meaning of looking at feng shui. Smelling refers to smelling the smell of the soil. Asking means stepping on a point. The last cut is that the technology is alive, first of all, accurately determine the best position to make a hole, and once the treasure arrives, you can find out its age and value. ）

But as long as it is a normal person, it is estimated that he knows that he worships a tomb robber as a teacher, and he will have some resistance in his heart, after all, it is illegal, but after the two followed their grandfather to the tomb a few times and touched the treasure a few times, they soon became a 10,000 yuan household, smelled the smell of money, and the two no longer care about what is illegal or not, after all, there is a good saying, starve the faint to death, support the bold.

In this way, grandpa took Zhou Yong and Su Yun to fly south and north, and there were countless tombs under him, but the strange thing is that every time he went to the tomb, grandpa just opened the coffin of the tomb owner and looked through it, and never took the burial goods, as if robbing the tomb was not for treasure hunting, but for excitement.

Hearing this, I couldn't help but blame my grandfather in my heart, I only turned over the dead in the tomb, and didn't take antiques, I'm afraid I don't have a special habit, right?

Wu Meng sighed on the side: "Alas~ If Grandpa Chen had become a 10,000 yuan household at that time, and did a few businesses casually in that era, Yaoyang would have a great chance of being rich for three generations." Alas~ I really don't know what the old man thinks......"

Zhou Yong saw that I was silent, and said: "Don't blame your grandfather, although his old man is a tomb robber, he also knows that there is righteousness, unlike some people who don't know the height of the sky, and the poor and crazy dare to dig any tomb." He glanced at Wu Meng as he spoke.

I asked, "And what about later?" Why didn't Grandpa continue to rob the tomb? What did Uncle Su do again? ”

Speaking of that era, archaeologists had no experience and no technology to find tombs, and could only search for the possible location of tombs through historical clues, so they were often one step behind, or even a few steps behind. Tomb robbers and treasure hunters are always ahead of them, and by the time the archaeological team finds them, the tomb has been damaged by the stolen holes.

What to do?

Tomb robbers have thousands of years of experience, searching for tombs, digging treasures, the means are strange, and the ways and means are not passed on, how to fight them?

How can we protect the cultural relics left by our ancestors?

Just when archaeologists mentioned tomb robbers and foreign treasure diggers, they gritted their teeth with hatred and cursed the heavens and the earth, a professor of the archaeological team proposed a solution, that is, Zhao'an.

It is to invite people in the tomb robbery circle to join the archaeological team, and use their skills to help archaeologists excavate the location of cultural relics first. After all, the archaeological team is also a national industry, and at that time, it was a very face-saving and honorable thing to work for the public, and it was inevitable that some tomb robbers would be tempted.

This proposal was supported by some people, so it began to be implemented, and as soon as this decision was announced, it caused a shock in the tomb robbery circle. Some people think: The archaeological team is a bunch of stupid X, Lao Tzu robs tombs and digs graves, eats fragrant and drinks spicy food, who the wants your broken wages.

Of course, there are also people who are tempted, thinking: tomb robbery is illegal, maybe one day they will miss it. And doing this business, unlike ordinary people, is a secret industry, once it is known by the people around it, it is estimated that it can scare away a bunch of people. This is not a long-term career, if you can join the archaeological team and do things for the country, then you will be glorious, and from then on, you will be a man with a straight back.

There are also some more thoughtful ones, who hesitate and think: What if it is a plan made by the above? Do we admit that we are tomb robbers as soon as we go? When the time comes, once the handcuffs are worn and the pistol is pointed, it will be too late to run.

Under such various speculations, no one dared to follow the conscience.

At this juncture, my grandfather suddenly stood up and joined the archaeological team, from a tomb robber to a "national archaeological consultant" in an instant.

When Wu Meng heard this, he immediately looked at me in surprise and said, "Chen Yaoyang, I didn't expect that you are still a descendant of a public official, so you still have a chance to become a rich third generation!" ”

Zhou Yong and I both glanced at him, and said in our hearts, why is this guy full of money?

To be honest, my blood is boiling all over my body when I listen to it now, and I even have an unreal feeling, my grandfather is actually a celebrity in the tomb robbery world, and he used to be a part-time consultant for the national archaeological team, did he really have such a legendary life?

I hurriedly asked, "What happened later?" And then? ”

"Later, your grandfather also persuaded us to join the archaeological team, and your Uncle Su and I were both young at that time, and we disagreed with your grandfather, so we parted ways in Beijing. The photo you just saw was the last time we took a group photo. ”

I suppressed the shock in my heart and said lightly: "Since my grandfather has later joined the archaeological team, become a public official, and serve the country, why did he return to his hometown and live a difficult life for a while?" ”

Zhou Yong sighed and said, "Your grandfather touched the name of Captain Jin, and no one in this business knows it." Strictly speaking, he is a traitor in this line of work. With your grandfather taking the lead, many tomb robbers began to become archaeologists, bringing all kinds of secret tomb robbers into the archaeological team. It was at that time that the skills of iron drill to explore the cave and smell the soil and understand the tomb began to be widely known, and became the means of the archaeological team, which made the overall detection technology of the archaeological team have a milestone leap. Take the Luoyang shovel as an example, it was originally used by Luoyang's tomb robbers first, and later, it became a sharp weapon of the archaeological team, and was officially named 'exploration shovel'. ”

I nodded, so that my grandfather was labeled a traitor, and he was not wronged.

After my grandfather became good, he began to follow the archaeological team to carry out various operations, which can be said to have made great contributions, and in the process he became a family, married my grandmother, and gave birth to my father. Originally, according to this state, the days would only get more and more prosperous, but in the process, an incident suddenly appeared, which made my grandfather's life change dramatically.

It was 1996, the year I was born......

He wrote a letter to the archaeological team, saying that he had a personal matter to attend to and needed to take a leave of absence for a while. In the letter, Grandpa refused to explain what it was, so the leader disagreed, and Grandpa didn't care about this, so he didn't go to work the next day, and then he didn't go to work for more than a month. Not only could the archaeological team not be able to contact him, but even his family could not be contacted.

A month later, Grandpa suddenly appeared again, and the whole person seemed to be drained of his soul, instantly as if he was more than ten years old, and the whole person showed a state of discouragement. No one knows what happened to Grandpa that month?

But after that, my grandfather decided not to touch anything underground, left the archaeological team, and started to work as a carpenter again, and to this day there are still people who come to my house to persuade my grandfather to return to the archaeological team.

Since Grandpa joined the archaeological team, Zhou Yong and Su Yunfei have set up their own sects, and they have naturally heard about the incident in 1996, but they can't understand why a captain who touches gold suddenly decides not to touch anything underground?

Zhou Yong felt that there must be something strange about this matter, so he asked Su Yunfei to visit my grandfather at my house every year, and knocked on the side by the way. Once my grandfather was drunk, he said that he had leaked his mouth, and it turned out that the month he disappeared, he went to an ancient tomb on the coast of Guangdong.

Under Su Yunfei's inquiry, he learned that it was a large tomb of the Song Dynasty. Because the grandfather was in a drunken state at that time, the words he said were also vague, what corpse mountain altar, man-eating strange flowers, and countless peerless treasures!

Su Yunfei seized this point and asked, he asked his grandfather why he didn't bring out the treasures inside at that time, and his grandfather gave an ambiguous answer, saying that those treasures could not be touched, and whoever touched them would die, and said that there was a female ghost who reminded him never to let others discover this tomb.

Hearing this, I just felt a chill down my spine.

Grandpa actually went to such a dangerous place alone, the corpse mountain altar, the strange flowers that eat people, this is comparable to hell! Why would he venture to such a dangerous place alone when he was old? And how did you come out alive in the end?

Grandpa, grandpa, what have you been through?

Zhou Yong saw the change in my expression and motioned for me not to be in a hurry and listen to him slowly.

When I was one year old, the family was going to have a happy event, Zhou Yong and Su Yunfei came to my house in the name of congratulations, intentionally or unintentionally asked about the incident, and finally learned that the location of the tomb where my grandfather went back then was in Yashan Generation, but when the two asked the specific location, my grandfather said that he was old and couldn't remember clearly. It was clear that Grandpa didn't want anyone to enter that tomb.

Later, Zhou Yong and Su Yunfei came to Yashan and opened this teahouse in Yamen Town, while sitting on antique trading, while looking for the whereabouts of the ancient tomb of the Song Dynasty, this search is 23 years......

I asked Zhou Yong, "Then how did you know that I would be here today?" Why do you have to pull me in? ”
