Yuxi Tomb-Raiding Stories
#Tomb Raiding + #Antique Appraisal + #Period Novel + #Suspense Horror + #Fengshui Secret Arts My name is Jin Hai. My grandfather was once the top tomb robber in the Republic of China era, and while he was alive he repeatedly warned me never to touch the grave-robbing trade. But after he died, I had no choice but to walk this road anyway. In the early 1990s, I went against his dying wish and dragged my childhood friend Wang Ping along to follow in his footsteps. As the Luoyang shovel pierced the yellow earth of Beiman Mountain, Eastern Zhou royal mausoleums, Western Han hollowed-log burial chambers, and Western Zhou imperial tombs all revealed themselves before my eyes. Inside the tombs were quicksand traps and sinister curses; outside them was a murky jianghu of all kinds of people, black-market schemes, backstabbing among colleagues, and black-on-black exploitation everywhere. Every descent into a tomb is a gamble with life itself. Behind every unearthed antique lies a bloodstained history sealed away for years. Only after I stepped onto this road of no return did I understand that what lies buried underground is not only kings and nobles, but also the lives of us tomb robbers. — Tomb raiding is illegal; do not try it yourself.
