Guanzhong Tomb Robbery Notes

Chapter 426: Two theories: Walking too much at night will lead to encountering ghosts

I frowned slightly and asked doubtfully, "Ghost thief?"

I heard from Grandpa Tuo that tomb robbers are divided into southern and northern factions, those inside and outside the Great Wall, and those in Guanzhong and Luoyang.

The only thing I haven't heard of is a ghost thief.

Huang Ziran took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth in a somewhat annoyed manner.

After lighting the fire, he muttered, "Hasn't the old hunchback in your village ever told you about the ghost thief?"

I shook my head: "Uncle Tuo never told me that."

"He only talked about the regional differences among tomb robbers."

"The common techniques used by tomb robbers in various places, the characteristics of the holes they dug, etc."

Huang Ziran took a deep puff of his cigarette.

The scarlet butt quickly burned half of the cigarette.

From the anxious look on his face while smoking, it was clear that the ghost thief was no simple person.

call!

Two streams of white smoke came out of Huang Ziran's nostrils.

He lowered his voice and said, "It was only when I was investigating Tuo Ye that I found some clues from the pile of old papers."

"The story of ghost thieves is old, but little known."

"There are two versions of the ghost thief in the records."

"The first one is more mysterious, saying that the ghost thief was originally a Yin cultivator who could summon Yin soldiers to enter the tomb and steal treasures."

"I asked several experts I know, and they all disagreed with this statement."

“I think it’s a mystifying statement.”

"The second one is much more credible."

"It is said that ghost thieves are tomb robbers who can come out of the underworld."

"Use the Yin method to leave the body during sleep and explore the tombs within a certain range."

I am skeptical about the second statement.

Because I have experienced the state of Yin.

So I believe someone will have a bad experience.

But after leaving the underworld, how can the soul explore the surrounding tombs?

If you really have the ability to leave the underworld and explore the surrounding tombs, why would you bother doing things like tomb robbing?

Become a immortal master or something.

Both income and status are much higher than tomb robbers.

Huang Ziran flicked away his cigarette butt and tilted his head to look at me: "Looking at your expression, it seems that you don't quite believe what I said."

I laughed dryly and said, "It's not that I don't believe it."

"It just feels weird."

"Throughout history, there have been those who have embarked on the path of tomb robbing."

"Ninety-nine percent of them are just poor, incompetent people."

"If you really have the ability to get out of the underworld, why bother with tomb robbing?"

Tomb robbing is the business of digging up graves.

If you tell others about grave digging, you will not only lose face, but also be despised by others.

Even as fellow disciples of the Rong family.

They make white money (stealing during the day), black money (stealing at night), high-end purchases (stealing from gold shops, jewelry stores and other high-end places), and stealing from trains and buses.

Anyway, no matter how much money thieves make, they all look down on tomb robbers.

So when people in the martial arts world talk about the Rong family, they will mention all kinds of thieves, but they will never mention tomb robbers.

Therefore, tomb robbers also wander around the edge of the world and form their own system.

However, in the past three decades, as the prices of antiques have skyrocketed, tomb robbers have become the object of envy and have made money very quickly.

This also led to a large number of laymen entering the tomb-robbing industry.

Speaking of which, the lower limit of ability requirements for the tomb-robbing industry is extremely low, but the upper limit is quite high.

Why is it said that the lower limit of ability is extremely low?

As long as you are brave enough and strong enough, you can go and rob a tomb.

Don’t say you don’t understand Feng Shui and can’t find a grave.

We can’t find the big tombs from the Zhou, Qin, Han and Tang dynasties, and we can’t find any tombs with mounds?

There are too many laymen who want to get rich overnight. Before they have the ability to find and explore tombs, they just find an old grave and start digging.

The reason why the ceiling of tomb raiding is high is that it requires very high comprehensive abilities.

You need to understand Feng Shui, history, the characteristics of tombs from different dynasties, earthwork, organization, antiques, selling stolen goods, and the ways of the world...

Most importantly, know how to avoid getting caught.

To understand the above contents, you need both talent and hard work.

Huang Ziran took out another cigarette and put it between his lips: "Have you ever thought that the ghost thief's purpose might not be to steal the burial objects?"

I was surprised and asked, "You're not stealing the burial objects?"

"What else can you steal?"

"You can't steal the soul of the tomb owner..."

I had just said half of my words when the second half suddenly got stuck in my throat and I couldn't say it.

Because suddenly a possibility came to mind.

Huang Ziran guessed that Old Man Qin was a ghost thief only after hearing about the old man Qin digging up corpses and drinking blood.

Now it is said that the purpose of the ghost thieves is not to steal burial objects.

When the two are connected, the ghost thief's purpose becomes clear.

Ghost thieves, the theft must be related to corpses!

Huang Ziran whispered, "Old man Qin dug up corpses and drank their blood."

"It's very similar to the records of how ghost thieves absorb Yin energy, nourish their souls, shed their bodies, and become ghost immortals."

I pondered the situation in silence.

I think the most important thing is to get to Blackwater City safely.

So he said, "It doesn't matter what kind of thief Qin Lao is."

"As long as we are not provoked, we will pretend that we don't know anything."

Huang Ziran was stunned.

He smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I'm afraid that the tree wants to be still but the wind won't stop."

"If nothing unexpected happens, Old Man Qin has set his sights on you."

"I say this to remind you to be more careful."

"Especially at night, don't fall into his trap..."

"Cough cough!"

Before Huang Ziran could finish his words, Uncle Zheng Er suddenly started coughing violently.

This abnormal coughing sound was obviously a warning.

Huang Ziran immediately shut up and looked forward.

I saw Old Man Qin standing on a small slope ten meters away, waving at us.

"Hurry up."

"I won't wait for you if you fall behind."

"Okay!" Uncle Zheng replied, signaling us to speed up.

Walk up the small slope.

Getting closer and closer to Old Man Qin.

He looked at me vaguely.

The gaze was unfocused and very vague.

It seems like he is looking at you, but when you look at him, you will feel that his eyes are wandering around and he is not looking at you.

Well, that's the kind of wandering look a bag thief has when he's searching for his target.

I lowered my head and ignored his gaze.

I feel like I have a thorn in my flesh

I always feel that Old Man Qin's eyes are fixed on me with ill intentions...

Uncle Zheng came to Old Man Qin.

He said with a smile, "Sorry, I'm a little slow in packing."

"We can just arrange for someone to come and fetch us. Why would you bother waiting for us?"

Old man Qin snorted coldly: "Stop smiling at me."

"They don't have night blindness, do they?"

At that time, because people rarely ate animal offal such as pork liver, many people lacked vitamin A and suffered from night blindness.

People with night blindness find it difficult to see clearly in low light conditions.

It is easy to have an accident when walking at night because of poor visibility.

Uncle Zheng quickly said, "They don't have night blindness, they're all healthy."

Old Man Qin nodded: "It's good that you don't have night blindness."

"There are quite a few people ahead, but I can't see them clearly at night."

"We're going to Daijiawan tonight. You're familiar with this road, so you can lead the way."

Uncle Zheng hesitated for a moment and then nodded in agreement.

"Okay, then we'll go ahead and lead the way."

When he was about to lead us forward, Old Man Qin opened his arms to stop Huang Ziran and me.

"You two follow me."

"If you encounter someone who has sprained their ankle or fallen, you can help them."

"This..." Uncle Zheng looked at Huang Ziran secretly.

Huang Ziran nodded slightly.

After receiving the signal, Zheng Erbo took Han Bin to the front of the team.

My heart skipped a beat.

I think Huang Ziran is a bit too arrogant.

Old Man Qin obviously intended to separate us.

This way, you can't take care of both the beginning and the end.

While I was pondering, Old Man Qin walked side by side with me.

He said slowly, as if chatting casually, "As the old saying goes, if you walk too much at night, you'll encounter ghosts."

"Baby, do you believe it?"
