In 218 BC, in order to find immortality and the world's unsolved secrets, Qin Shihuang specially formed an army called the Night Patrol Army, which was composed of strange people and strangers from the world who searched for ancient secrets. They have strict military discipline, hiding during the day and patrolling at night.
This army consists of 4 soldiers with special skills. One is a fortune teller, who can know the mountains and rivers in the world, and understand the ancient ruins of underground rivers, and is a Feng Shui master; one is an animal tamer, which can call beasts and birds, and control animals to detect treasures, and is also a beast master; one is a mechanist, who can skillfully combine various mechanisms and understand all the wonderful mechanisms in the world, and is a spiritual arm master; one is a psychic, who is excellent in martial arts, has memory and ears beyond ordinary people, and can hear sounds that are difficult for ordinary people to hear, and is a master of listening.
However, after the death of Emperor Qin Shihuang, this army scattered and disappeared among the people. It wasn't until Liu Yu, the son-emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty, caught the descendants of Di Tingshi at that time that he could glean from his mouth the army that the First Emperor had formed. The four sects were forced to reunite at that time, and Liu Yu set up an official organization for the four sects, the Taosha Official, which specialized in tomb robbing.
