[Live audio books are also online] [Tomb robbing is illegal, and those who accidentally break the law will be imprisoned] [Tomb robbing + suspense + era + social group portrait + human redemption] Lu Jun, an old tomb robber who was terminally ill, told his nephew in his hospital bed the nightmare that had haunted him throughout his life. He was originally a poor farmer's son. When he was 16 years old, in order to save his father's life, he was led into the tomb robbing business by Lao Yanguo, who lived alone. From then on, his life was accompanied by the loess, rising and falling in the strange light of the tomb sea. From the barren hills and lonely tombs in Qian County, Shaanxi Province, to the huge gangs of the northern sect in Guanzhong; from the mirror puzzle in the fog of the Central Plains, to the thousand-year-old poison in the secret burials of Southern Chu... He relied on the ancestral "seeing, hearing, asking and knowing" skills taught to him by his master, and became the "Lu Tanlong" who was feared by both black and white. But he has seen too much - in the tomb of the Ming Dynasty vassal king, the master was suffocated to death by methane gas; in the Han tomb in Bozhou, his partners turned against each other for the Jinding; in the Longhu Mountain cave, the poisonous gas caused strange hallucinations... It wasn't until his apprentice Xiao Sichuan was imprisoned for greed that Lu Ruo suddenly woke up in front of an ancient Xixia tomb in Helan Mountain. He gave up the treasure within easy reach and guarded it silently for three years. Now that he was about to die, he wrote down his half-life tomb robbing skills in a secret book, but burned them all before his death. "Earth can bury people, and it can also bury hearts; if you steal people's property, you will eventually steal your own soul." This is a life confession of a tomb robber, and also a history of the demise of China's underground cultural relics world. When the archaeological team finally discovered the intact Xixia ancient tomb, no one knew that buried under the inconspicuous bush next to the tomb was a name that once made the entire industry fearful.
