Chapter 1291 The Art of Tomb Robbing
Tang Feng said with a smile: "When we were in Qinghong Sect, those people just called it Spirit Monkey. Since it was brought back by Xiao Hui, it would be better to let Xiao Hui give it a name."
Tang Feng called out to Xiao Hui and said, "Xiao Hui, what is your friend's name?"
Xiao Hui quickly called out to the little white-fronted monkey "Zhizhi" twice, and the little white-fronted monkey also called to it. The two monkeys seemed to be discussing.
After a while, Xiao Hui turned his head again and called Tang Feng twice excitedly.
Lin Mengjia asked Tang Feng very curiously: "What are they talking about?"
Tang Feng smiled and said: "The two of them discussed a name. This little monkey is called Xiao Tao, because it likes to eat peaches."
This name sounds really casual, but no matter what, it has its own name after all, and it will be convenient to call it in the future.
Lin Mengjia smiled and said: "Xiao Tao, this name is cute. I think Yaoyao will like it very much when she sees it."
While Tang Feng and Lin Mengjia were talking about the two little monkeys, the others had almost eaten.
Ji Ning and Li Jia were already talking in a low voice. It sounded like they were talking about the ancient tomb. After saying a few words, Ji Ning looked at Tang Feng again.
Seeing that he had something to say, Tang Feng nodded towards him, indicating that he could speak.
Ji Ning then said: "Sir, regarding the ancient tomb of the Pre-Qin Dynasty, Li Jia and Sister Mudan asked friends in the circle to inquire and got some clues. However, there are still some things that are not clear. I want to tell sir, Listen to your opinion sir."
Tang Feng knew that the couple Li Jia and their friends in the circle must be masters of tomb robbing. The information he got from those people was still very useful, so he nodded.
Ji Ning then looked at Li Jia and indicated with his eyes that he could speak.
Li Jia was still a little cautious in front of Tang Feng. He quickly stood up and said to Tang Feng: "Mr. Tang, I have limited clues about this matter, and I don't know-"
Tang Feng waved his hand towards Li Jia and said, "You don't have to be so formal. Just sit down and talk."
Although Li Jia still had a bit of restraint on his face, he still sat down after listening to Tang Feng's words, and continued to Tang Feng: "I have a senior in the circle, and there are some ancient books passed down from ancestors at home. In one of the books that specifically records the location of the more famous ancient tombs, I found some information about this tomb."
When he said this, Li Jia couldn't help but glance at Black Peony sitting next to him.
At this moment, Black Peony frowned tightly, appearing to be in a bad mood.
Li Jia withdrew his gaze, then sighed and said, "Before I wanted to be buried in this tomb, my family once told me that this tomb was not allowed because my ancestors had rules and practiced Taoism. The person’s grave cannot be touched, but I was stubborn and insisted on going my own way, which is why these things happened later. I really dragged her down."
When talking about the latter part, Li Jia's tone was already a bit apologetic, and he reached out his hand and patted the back of Black Peony's hand gently.
Before, when Black Mudan talked about what happened to Li Jia, she told Tang Feng and the others about it. They were no strangers to it. Seeing Li Jia like this, he must have learned something from that ancient book. Got the same warning.
Sure enough, Li Jia said with some frustration: "In that ancient book, there are detailed records of the locations of many tombs that are almost mysterious in history. It was really eye-opening for me to read it. At the same time, it is also written clearly that some tombs , cannot be touched, and that one is one of them."
Lin Mengjia showed a somewhat puzzled look and said: "Since no one in history knows about those tombs, who recorded their locations? And why should we write down the tombs that cannot be touched? If we don't write them down, others won't. If you know it, you won't touch it."
Li Jia smiled at Lin Mengjia again and said: "Madam, China has a long history. The ancients, especially the rich and powerful people, were very concerned about their whereabouts after death. While they were building tombs, They were also afraid that their tomb would be stolen, so they used many methods to hide the location of their tomb. But if the devil is as high as the devil, no matter how deep they hide, they will still kill everyone to build the tomb. All the craftsmen of the time cannot stop them from being discovered by future generations."
After listening to Li Jia's words, Xie Laohu couldn't help but nodded slightly and said: "Building tombs in ancient times was a craft, but tomb robbing also has a long history. This craft can be passed down to this day, and it must have its own characteristics." It makes sense.”
Black Mudan looked at Xie Laohu and said, "Boss Xie is so complimentary. Tomb robbing is not a serious business. It's not a craft, it's just a way to make ends meet."
Xue Panpan said with a smile: "Miss Black Mudan, there is no need to be modest. I have also heard of the name of the virtuous couple a long time ago, and I admire their abilities very much."
Li Jia bowed his hands to Xue Panpan, and then continued to Lin Mengjia: "The ancients were very particular about the place of burial. The first step was to choose a geomantic treasure place before proceeding to the next step. Although the tomb robbing business is not It's a glory, but many tomb robbers have their own special skills. The first is the art of Feng Shui, which everyone must be proficient in."
Lin Mengjia nodded and said: "In other words, you can tell where there are tombs by just taking a look at some places and looking at the feng shui around them, right?"
Li Jia smiled and said: "It's not so miraculous. This Feng Shui is not static. It will also change with the geographical changes. We also need to deduce it before we can be sure. However, there are many people who are proficient in this. The seniors who are capable of this have traveled all over the world specifically to find the location of these ancient tombs and make a record to pass them down. In our line of work, there are actually not many such classics, but there is a mixture of true and false among them. Not everything recorded in every book is accurate. When we get such books, we screen them first. Seventy-eight percent of them are either fake or have been touched by others and are truly touchable. It’s really rare to find good things.”
Black Peony added: "In addition to the location of the tomb, this kind of classics will also record some other things, such as the age of the tomb and the identity of the person buried in it. Although it is not very detailed, it can be seen after reading it. We can estimate the number and value of the things buried inside.”
