Shinong Shang Shang refers to the four people in ancient times, namely those who read, those who farm, those who work, and those who do business.

It can also be understood as officials, peasants, workers, merchants.

But these are not very appropriate in the circle of tomb robbing.

Therefore, the reason why Aunt Mei said these words is because there is a deeper part of the meaning in it.

It's just that when I fully understood the meaning, I suffered a price that I shouldn't have suffered.

At the same time, I also had a very bad feeling about the 'strange circle' of tomb robbing.

Back at the shop, I simply packed up my things and took away some of Uncle Yan's daily necessities.

At the same time, there are many books of Uncle Yan, "Ancient Jade Appreciation", "Yearbook", "China Unearthed Jade Volume", "Porcelain Appreciation", etc., and so on, and finally the small pickup truck was pulled back to the countryside.

Seeing that I came back with a big bag and a small bag, Uncle Chen hurriedly came out to greet me and asked me how long I was going to come back this time?

Uncle Chen didn't mention anything about me before, and his eyes have always been so loving and kind.

I briefly told Uncle Chen about the things in Uncle Yan's shop.

Uncle Chen didn't show too much surprise after hearing this, but helped me unload the things and said, "Xiao Xu, in fact, according to your personality, you are incompatible with this circle. ”

"Now that I'm back, I'll just rest at home for a while, and it's good to do something else."

"It's the 21st century, it's not as good as before, robbing tombs and robbing tombs, it's not other people's money that is stolen, but their own luck!"

Uncle Chen said to me earnestly, but I didn't listen, and I think Uncle Chen also saw it.

So in the end, Uncle Chen sighed in a low voice and said, "Child, don't think so much about it first, if you haven't eaten yet, eat first, rest early after eating, and talk about it later!" ”

"As for your Uncle Yan's affairs, I don't think you have to worry too much, he has been through the wind and waves for so many years, and there will be no problems."

Uncle Chen patted me on the shoulder, then turned and left and went into the kitchen.

I sat alone on the threshold of the hall and watched the sun set in the distance, feeling completely lonely in my heart.

He still held a document bag in his arms and didn't open it for a long time.

I don't know what my father left me, I don't want to open it, and I don't dare to open it.

Memories of my childhood have left too deep a shadow on me, and I have never been able to figure out a thing.

That's the world that is already highly socialized, why are there still things that don't belong to this world in the deep mountains and old forests.

If my grandfather was self-inflicted, then why did my father be so miserable?

Even if they all throw away the ancestral graves of others and damage the yin virtue, God will retribution.

But my mother is an authentic housewife, she is not an insider, she has done nothing, why is there an ominous?

I looked up at the sunset in the distance, and I couldn't calm down completely for a long time.

God, is it possible that our Chen family really deserves to die?

I sat alone on the threshold for a long time, until the sun was about to disappear over the land completely, and then I looked down at the file bag in my arms.

The file bag is bulging, and the outer layer is sealed with sealing wax.

Looking at the file bag in his arms, he took a deep breath, and then slowly tore open the file bag.

And as I opened the long-sealed portfolio, it was like opening Pandora's box completely, and I had to accept my fate and complete the mission I had to complete.

The first thing that came out of the file bag was a rectangular pure black box, the outside of which had been pulped.

There was no text on it, and when you opened the box, you were greeted by a dark red seal.

The size of the seal is not very large, the length, width and height are only three centimeters, and there are four words engraved on the bottom seal!

'Blessed by the Heavenly Officials! ’

Directly above the seal is a carved unicorn with its head held high, and every detail is full of vividness.

The underside of the unicorn's belly is hollowed out with some faint dents, which should have been formed by wearing it on a certain part of the body for a long time.

I took the seal and put it in front of my nose and sniffed it, and a faint smell of blood came, and the pungent smell made my brain sober up instantly.

Could this seal be the object Taosha seal that Uncle Yan said in his mouth to prove the identity of the sand mining officer?

Just as I was observing the seal in my hand, Uncle Chen walked this way with his food, and I hurriedly put down the things in my hand and went to help.

While eating, I handed the seal to Uncle Chen.

Uncle Chen put down his chopsticks, took the seal and looked at it.

After a while, Uncle Chen put down the seal in his hand and looked at me and said, "Child, this seal is indeed your Chen family's Taosha seal, but its material and age are not from Liu Yu's era, but from the early Ming Dynasty......!" ”

Speaking of Liu Yu, I have to mention the historical origin of the identity of the sand official.

Liu Yu, the word Yanyou, is a native of Fucheng in the Yongjing Army.

is also the ancestor of the sand official!

Gaozong Jianyan was supported as a puppet emperor by the Jin State in four years, and the country name was 'Daqi' to build the capital!

Taosha Guan is also the first and only official tomb robbery institution with clear written records in the history of tomb robbery in China.

It has similarities with Cao Cao's serve and touching Jin's lieutenant.

The difference is that the sand mining officer belongs to the official organization, while the gold school lieutenant belongs to the military organization!

The styles of the two are also slightly different, but in the final analysis, they are both more professional tomb robbers.

It is not the same as many scattered thieves among the people!

Gold in nature is a single element of gold that exists in a free state, generally mixed with sand grains.

Just separate it from the sand.

The ancients often used the "precipitation method" for production, and the most common was to put the golden sand in a special sieve to filter out the gold grains, which is the so-called "gold panning", or "panning sand".

Those who specialize in the production of gold are called "gold diggers", or "sand diggers".

"History of the Song Dynasty: The Biography of Liu Yu" records that in April of the second year of Shaoxing, He, Huai, Shaanxi, and Shandong were all full of troops from the north.

Liu Yu's son Liu Lin recruited more than 100,000 registered township soldiers to form the "Thirteenth Army of the Prince's Mansion".

In the army, he set up Henan Taosha officials and Bianjing Taosha officials respectively, and dug up Kaifeng and Luoyang, which were the deserted tombs and ancient mounds in the eastern and western capitals of the Northern Song Dynasty.

The original words are as follows: "(Shaoxing 2nd year) in April, He, Huai, Shaanxi, and Shandong were all stationed in the Northern Army, and more than 100,000 soldiers from Lin were the 13th Army of the Prince's Mansion. Separate Henan, Bianjing Taosha officials, the two Beijing tombs were excavated. ”

Although Liu Yu was not welcomed in history and was criticized by later generations, he could not hinder the inheritance of the post of Taosha official in the slightest.

In addition to this sand stamp, there is also an ancient book and a notebook in the portfolio.

The name of the ancient book is: "The Secret Art of Yin and Yang of the Sand"

This book is divided into two parts, the upper part is the secret arts, mainly about the Book of Changes, Feng Shui, mainly used to find the dragon and sand, the words in it are all ancient texts, very obscure.

Uncle Chen told me that this book was a manuscript, and the original works had long been missing, and many of them had been added by later generations.

The second half is the foreign body chapter, which elaborates in detail the zongzi, monsters, and some things that cannot be viewed with common sense, including the description of ghosts.

As for the notebook, it is a product of modern times, something left by my father, but most of the content in it is not torn off, and only a small part can still be read.

I asked Uncle Chen, why didn't Uncle Yan give me these things before, but now that Uncle Yan is missing, Aunt Mei gave these things to me?

Uncle Chen thought for a moment and replied, "You grew up with your mother since you were a child, so you should have a very shallow impression of your father, right?" ”

In the face of Uncle Chen's inquiry, although I don't want to admit it, it is indeed as Uncle Chen said.

When I was very young, my father often 'disappeared' when I was able to see him, and it was only during the Chinese New Year.

When I was a child, I liked to stay with my grandfather, but my mother was very repulsive, and as for me, the word father may not be close to my grandfather!

Uncle Yan said: "Your father is a man who is naturally strong and likes to compete for the first place in everything, while your Uncle Yan is relatively calm, and he just happens to be still and moving with your father. ”

"But your Uncle Yan is just too stable, and many things will miss the opportunity......"
