After I Was Released from Dabei Prison, I Went to Prison with Mr. Yao

This is an oral record of tomb robbing in the 1990s. It is also an autobiography of half of my life, Chen Mo. In 1999, I was released from Dabei Prison in Shenyang, penniless and infamous. My only skill was the Yang Gong Feng Shui that had been passed down for four generations. When I was desperate, I became a disciple of Yao Fengxian, who was respectfully called "Master Yao" by everyone outside the customs, and became his last closed disciple. There is no golden finger that comes out of thin air, no superpowers that can reach heaven or earth. There are only real ways to find dragons and dig holes, to look at soil and identify tombs, to crack mechanisms, and to walk on the road of life and death. I followed Master Yao and used a Luoyang shovel to explore every inch of the mountains outside the pass. From the tomb of the Jiedushi of the Liao Dynasty, to the mausoleums of princes of the Yuan Dynasty, from the tombs of generals of the Jin Dynasty, to unknown tribal burial sites in the mountains, we seek life in the underground world and survive in the ghostly world of the human heart. I have seen the most intense snowstorms outside the Pass, and I have also seen the most dangerous ancient tomb traps; Brothers who have handed over their lives have also seen villains who stabbed them in the back; He has taken priceless rare cultural relics, and also experienced a narrow escape from the tomb collapse. Thirty years on the Jianghu Road, I came out of a prison as a down-and-out boy, and became Mr. Chen, whom everyone outside the country respected; I also watched with my own eyes as a generation of tomb robbers went from being a legend across the world to finally settling down. The wind outside the pass is still blowing, but those days when I followed Master Yao into the world have finally become memories engraved in my bones and blood. This is not a tomb robbing novel, it is just an old Feng Shui master who spent half his life in the world outside the customs in the 1990s.
