Steamed Bun Detective: The Grave Robbers' Chronicles

(Beijing-style tomb raiding) Long Xian'er's The Grave Robbers' Chronicles! Use the dragon-seeking compass to read the mountains: each ridge brings another pass. If the entrance has eight perilous barriers, a prince is surely buried within. Tang tombs lie halfway up the mountain, Song tombs in the bay; Han tombs emerge at the mountain's crest. Shang and Zhou tombs lie along the riverbanks. Spring and Autumn and Warring States tombs are buried on mountaintops; great Qin and Han tombs lie along the ridges. Eastern Han and Southern Dynasties tombs favor the middle slopes; Sui, Tang, and Song tombs sit lower down the hillsides. Tang tombs taste sweet, Song tombs astringent. Ming and Qing tombs are thick with lime that catches in your throat. Shang and Zhou ancient wood smells strongly of rot; Qin and Han cinnabar is overwhelmingly pungent. No need to sniff around for Spring and Autumn or Warring States tombs; soil clinging to your boots means green paste marks are near. The mountain curves with the water, embracing a winding bend; a clear burial hollow lies right here. Moths hover above tombs, snowflakes turn to salt as they fall, and where thunder and lightning clash, a tomb is sure to be found. Don't look near rotten wood. The tomb lies among the ridges. Spring and Autumn and Warring States tombs have red soil; Western Han tombs were filled back in with yellow soil; Eastern Han tombs don't use yellow sand and mud; Tang and Song tomb pits are mostly black soil. Shang and Zhou tombs are broad at the top; Spring and Autumn and Warring States tombs are broad below. Tomb shapes changed in later dynasties: Song tombs are square, Tang tombs round, and Han tombs squat. Compass in my left hand, shovel in my right, boundless wealth is right before me!
