Scar Jin took a few brothers into the "Liu Guohua" house swaggeringly.

At the time of dinner, the "Liu Guohua" family was eating in the yard. There was a square table on which was placed a plate of steamed buns, two dishes and a soup.

Seeing a big man with scars coming in with a few fierce faces, the host frowned.

"Hey, ok, remember me? Ten years ago, we did business. I came to your village to exchange food, and you gave me a lot of good products."

Scar Jin is straight to the point. He always goes straight and doesn't turn around.

"Liu Guohua" stood up silently and waved his wife and children into the house.

After seeing his wife, children and brothers returning to the house, "Liu Guohua" stared at Scar Jin's eyes and said coldly: "What do you want to do?"

"What do you want to do? Hey, the batch of raw goods you exchanged for us back then reveals your details. We know what you are doing. Don't pretend, don't be nervous. Brothers have no other intentions. I just want to find a master. A pot, plan some good stuff!"

Scar Jin looked arrogant and stretched out his hand to grab the steamed bun on the table while talking. When the hand was about to touch the steamed bun, suddenly his wrist was blocked by "Liu Guohua".

The speed is so fast, Scar Jin didn't even see how he made the move. There was no defense at this time, being caught by someone's veins, Scar Jin felt that his body was numb, knowing that he had met a master.

"You have admitted the wrong person. I'm just a mason. I accidentally dig out the food in exchange for you, and I have all given it to you. You go!"

"Liu Guohua" grasped the vein door of Scar Jin with one hand, put the other hand behind his back, and led him towards the door with half pushing and half giving away.

The brothers looked at this scene and looked at each other-they had never seen Scar Jin obeyed so "obediently".

Scar Jin was complaining inwardly. He couldn't say anything. This "Liu Guohua" was obviously a hidden practitioner. His wrist seemed to be clamped in a vise, and he didn't break free after a few tries. "Liu Guohua" put the other hand on his back waistline, and Scar Jin knew that as long as the other party touched his own heartline, he would be disabled if he didn't die.

Scar Jin winked at the brothers, but everyone would be wrong, thinking that Scar Jin asked them to retreat, and they all retreated outside the door together.

"Liu Guohua" whispered in Scar Jin's ear: "I don't want to cause trouble. You better don't mess with me, otherwise, don't blame me. You're welcome!" With a lightly applied hand, Scar Jin was pushed out by him. Outside.

With a creak, the courtyard door closed behind him.

Scar King Kong wanted to open his mouth to curse, Da Wu stabbed him in the waist, indicating that several villagers in the distance were looking here. Scar Jin thought of Uncle Li's advice not to be hard on him, so he swallowed the swear word back into his stomach, and furiously led people to go on business with Uncle Li.

After listening to Scar Jin's report, Uncle Li nodded and started pacing again.

Scar Jin was upset after the dark loss, and couldn't hold his face in front of the brothers. He cursed and said: "The fucker, isn't he just a tomb robber? What kind of cow is he pretending to be better than him! So what is his skill? My brothers. How much!"

The master knows if there is any as soon as he makes a move. Scar Jin already knows that he is definitely not an opponent in a heads-up, and the idea of starting a group fight is coming.

"Make a good discussion about whether he will listen, toast and not eat fine wine. Let's just come hard and sneak into his house at night... His house is also a half-sized boy, a big-bellied woman, and a second fool—that woman is quite pretty. It's kind of pretty. Hey, it looks pretty watery..."

Scar Jin touched his chin and said lividly, and the brothers nearby laughed unkindly.

These energetic single men Yuwang often don't get vent when he spends years digging out antiques and doing business outside. If he has some money, he will either eat or drink or go to the hair salon. Gold is especially the veteran in this area, so several brothers are also similar.

Uncle Li also knows that this group of people are often fooling around, but he usually turns a blind eye to this group of people, as long as they spend their own money and don't cause trouble for him.

But this time is different. This time the task is very important, and the leader has repeatedly told Li Tianming to be careful.

Looking at a few young people about to move, Li Tianming slowly said: "This place is no better than Mangshan, you should be more regular. As the saying goes, strong dragons do not suppress local snakes. The people in this place are sturdy and many villagers are martial artists. It's really troublesome. We may not be able to take advantage of it."

Uncle Li turned his head and said to Jin Jin: "You take them to the township hotel and open a room to stay. Don't go out to cause trouble. I will step on the plate."

Everyone looked at each other, Uncle Li stepped on the plate himself? This is something that has never happened before. Seeing that Uncle Li's expression is serious, everyone dare not play with it anymore.

For several days, Uncle Li stayed out early and returned late. Jin Jin and a few other people were bored in the hotel, so they could only play cards for entertainment.

On this day, Uncle Li returned happily to gather everyone and prepare to act!

The next day, Jin Jin took Da Wu and Niu Da, and the three of them carried Luoyang shovel and swaggered past the gate of "Liu Guohua".

Following the route given by Uncle Li, the three of them passed through the village, followed a sheep-gut path, circling around to the foot of the back mountain.

It had just rained these days, and the road was muddy. After a while, everyone's feet and legs were covered with mud.

There is only one trail on the way up the mountain. The terrain is very rugged. One side of the trail is covered with steep rocks and one side is an almost vertical cliff. After being washed by rain, the road is muddy and slippery.

Climbing to the top of the mountain, I saw that Uncle Li and Yinzi had arrived, waiting for them there. The other side of the hillside is trending relatively smoothly, and the slanting hillside is densely covered with soil packs—it turns out to be a cemetery.

Scar Jin complained while shaking the mud on his feet, "Uncle Li, why do we come to this ruined place so hard? You see, this ruined graveyard doesn't look like a rich man, 80% of it can't figure out anything. Things come, making some money is not enough for us to pay for the return..."

Uncle Li nodded gently, "You have a good eye. You haven't been with me for so many years. Although this place is contiguous, there is really nothing to plan. Although there are many people buried here, it is not even the level of the tomb. It can only be regarded as a cemetery."

Funeral burials in ancient China were constructed strictly according to their levels. Tombs were mainly divided into several levels, and the titles of tombs of each level were different.

The first is the mausoleum, which can only be built by the emperor. Like the Ming Dynasty Tombs, thirteen emperors of the Ming Dynasty were buried, and the Qing Dongling Tomb was buried by Cixi, who was in charge of politics. The imperial tombs are generally built on the hillside, magnificent, and cover a large area. The imperial tombs are usually equipped with gardens. Naturally, there are also the most gold and silver treasures.

The second type is a tomb. The tomb is the tomb of the king and general. "Tomb" literally means high tomb. As the name suggests, the tomb is covered with a large amount of soil, like a hill. The underground palace below is also relatively large, and funeral items are also relatively rich.

The third type is the tomb. The level of the tomb is lower than that of the tomb, but it is not something that ordinary people can build. It can be built by wealthy people or officials. The "tomb" is generally flat and not higher than the ground. Tombs also have different levels, such as man-made tombs that are rich and noble, and their funerary objects and specifications are also very amazing, and for some ordinary people, the tomb is just a form.

This last type, and the lowest grade, is the tomb. Usually, the place where people are buried after death is called the tomb.

The tomb has no specifications or particular attention to it. Basically, it just digs a hole and can lay the coffin. After the coffin is put in the soil, a soil bag is piled on it as a mark. This is the burial method of ordinary people.

Uncle Li continued: "This cemetery in front of us is the burial place of the ancestors of Lijia Village. Although the graves are scattered and numerous, and the time is hundreds of years, there is basically no place worth digging."

Jin Jin wondered: "If this is the case, why are we here?"

Uncle Li put his hands behind his back, looking up at the cemetery like a military parade.

"Have you noticed that there is a strange place here?"

Jin Jin looked around blankly, "From the topography, although it is backed by the mountain, it is not facing the water. It is not a geomantic treasure. From the perspective of soil quality, there is more sand and gravel here, and the soil layer is easier to seep. It is estimated that a coffin can be buried for several years. It rots."

In short, this is not a good place.

Uncle Li nodded, stepped on the ground with his feet and asked, "You take a closer look at the place under my feet, is there anything unusual?"

The few people looked at each other and didn't know what medicine Uncle Li sold in the gourd.

The place where Uncle Li stood was a stone pit, which was covered with gravel, and I don’t know who picked it up.

This stone pit was located on a relatively steep hillside, facing the direction they came from. People who go up the mountain can see it at a glance.

Dao Jin said: "The fault is quite new, it should have been dug in the past few days. It is estimated that someone wanted to dig a tomb here, but after half of the digging, they found that the soil layer was not good, so they gave up."

Uncle Li said to everyone, "Stand far away and look carefully."

Everyone was puzzled, why did Uncle Li have time to teach you the basics of tomb robbery today

Although they were all suspicious, everyone still walked far away, taking a few steps and looking back, Uncle Li motioned to let them go further.

I walked out several tens of meters in a row, and looked back at the stone pit where Uncle Li stood was several meters square, surrounded by messy grass and shrubs, and nothing else except a few dwarf pine trees. The yellow-white soil and rock layer inside was set off by the surrounding vegetation. It looks very eye-catching.

Uncle Li beckoned everyone to come back, but Jin Jin still shook his head and didn't understand.

Yin Zi, who had been silent for a long time, said, "The shape of this pit is a bit special, it looks a bit like a beast's paw print."

Uncle Li nodded with satisfaction, "Yes, the pit you see is on the windward side of the mountain. The terrain is rugged and the geology is rough. The bottom is full of gravel and gravel. It does not store water or soil. It is not suitable for funerals. , Even farming is not appropriate. Even the most ordinary farmers can see this. Why would anyone bother to dig pits here

This pit was obviously made deliberately by someone.

This is a sign that only colleagues from the tomb can understand.

This is a warning, we are being watched! "
