1. 201 淘 The Sand-Sifting Chronicles: Memoirs of a Lingnan Tomb Raider 淘沙鉴：一个岭南盗墓者的自述 Arctic Roasted Sweet Potato北极烤地瓜Mystery344k WordsOngoing [Tomb Raiding + Suspense + Antique Appraisal + Feng Shui] My name is He Shouyi. I’m a tomb raider sentenced to fifteen years in prison, and the fourth-generation appraiser of the Jiao Si lineage. I’ve lost count of how many tombs I’ve entered in this lifetime. Our lineage has five signature skills: reading thunder to locate tombs, identifying soil by its vegetation, dating it by its smell, pinpointing locations from traces, and spotting fakes to identify treasures.

   Reader note

   This is a good book. My name is He Shouyi, and I spent twenty-two years robbing tombs. I was arrested in 2002 and sentenced to fifteen years. Later, I assisted the country with three years of underwater archaeology and was released on parole. Now I'm retired and live in an old alley in Yuexiu District, Guangzhou. This book is based on my dictation, which was then compiled by someone else. Some of the things written in it can be verified, while others cannot. For those that can be verified, I've tried my best to cite the sources. For those that cannot be verified, I've written them down as they are—they are my personal experiences, though I still haven't figured them out. My family's ancestral craftsmanship was passed down from Master Jiao. It consists of five methods: listening to thunder to identify burial sites, observing grass to identify soil, smelling mud to determine age, examining traces to locate sites, and distinguishing fakes from treasures. Using these five methods, I've handled stone chamber tombs from the Nanyue Kingdom, porcelain-sealed earthen tombs from the Southern Han Dynasty, sand-filled tombs from the Song Dynasty, family tombs from the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and shipwrecks in the waters off Yangjiang. Some of these tomb structures can't be found outside of Lingnan. I worked with three brothers. Ah Shui, a Tanka (boat-dwelling) water spirit, could hold his breath underwater for four and a half minutes and identify the kiln and era of porcelain by touch. Old Lin, the 21st generation of Yangjiang sea salvage expert, could tell whether the seabed beneath his feet was reef or a shipwreck just by listening to the waves while standing at the bow of a boat. Ah Kun, a Hakka feng shui master, could use his ancestral compass to determine the direction of tomb passages and which mountains held hidden objects. All three are gone. Ah Shui died of illness, Old Lin passed away from serious injuries, and Ah Kun was diagnosed with a terminal illness last year. This book serves as a kind of closure for them.

    Several large snakes appear in "Uncle's Bizarre Experience Watching the Reservoir." The first is the Ginseng Guardian Snake. While seemingly guarding, it actually waits until the ginseng is fully mature and brimming with spiritual energy before devouring it. During this time, it also eats any flying insects and birds attracted by the ginseng's energy, truly a multi-purpose spree. Later, Uncle takes advantage of the ginseng's weakened state during molting to dig it up. The snake then summons two henchmen, making a total of three giant snakes to retaliate against Uncle, waiting to discover his hiding place before devouring him. A chaotic battle ensues on the island in the lake. Uncle fights against a swarm of rats and giant frogs, holding his own. However, when the ginseng falls into the water and is attempted to retrieve it, he is bitten by an unknown monster in a large underwater cave, dragged into the cave, and disappears without a trace; he is presumably dead. The second snake, the Great White Snake, doesn't officially appear but is mentioned in the story. Struck by lightning, it is incredibly agile, possesses immense strength, and exhibits a degree of intelligence. It easily deflects several attacks from the villagers using shovels without harming them. Later, it voluntarily climbed to the top of the tree to receive the baptism of heavenly lightning, but it's unknown whether it succeeded. The third one, the eerie dancing snake on the treetop, seems strange but is actually cunning. Its dancing on the treetop attracts attention, making it easier for the snakes below to sneak up and attack. Its scales are as hard as iron, impervious to swords and spears; even crossbow bolts striking it produce sparks. It can also exhale white mist, which is actually snake miasma, capable of trapping people in illusions; it almost killed my uncle.

    These are the few novels I've kept after reading over 4000 books. I feel I could reread these two or three times. I've already removed the others that I didn't like, but I don't know if your tastes are the same as mine. These are definitely tomb raiding novels. Most of the books on my bookshelf are ones I've read once and can still continue reading. Of course, you don't need to look at that group that updates two chapters a day. That group is still being updated, so I don't know if it will have a bad ending, and I don't really recommend that group to everyone. I read books relatively quickly, so even though I've read over 4000 books, it's only taken me a little over 5000 hours. Some of the books I reviewed seem to have been read in a short time, but I really have almost finished them. Everyone's tastes are different, so please stop saying I'm a shill. I haven't been paid.

    Her final step towards death tore the entire internet apart. [Outside the Barrier - Old Joe] Old Joe, watching her lip movements, instantly understood her meaning. He frantically shook his head, mouthing the words "Don't go!"—He knew better than anyone that the bronze platform was the core of the mechanism, its patterns inlaid with fluorite powder. Touching the cracks would trigger an eruption of miasma once the concentration reached the threshold. But Su Yan didn't turn back. He could see her back, appearing exceptionally frail in the flashlight beam, the menacing black line on her wrist spreading upwards, and the miasma slowly gathering around the observation platform. He wanted to smash the barrier again, but found his arm numb, and could only let his tears blur his vision as he watched her walk step by step towards death. Su Wan stood in the safe zone inside the barrier, watching Su Yan's back, tears falling unexpectedly. She didn't know why she was crying, only feeling a knife-like pain in her heart, as if she were witnessing the deaths of former expedition members. She tried to call Su Yan back, but no sound came out. She could only stare intently at Old Qiao behind the barrier, her body trembling uncontrollably. Just as Su Yan's fingers touched the crack in the observation platform where miasma was seeping out, the platform suddenly emitted a muffled thud. Immediately afterward, the bronze patterns on the platform's surface began to glow with an eerie green light—the result of the reaction between fluorite powder and miasma. Dark brown miasma gushed out of the crack like a fountain, completely enveloping Su Yan. Old Qiao's pupils contracted sharply. He saw Su Yan's body begin to tremble, the festering of her hands suddenly accelerating, and her bones making a slight cracking sound. He saw Su Yan struggle to turn around in the miasma, mouthing her last words to him—words he saw clearly: "I love you." The miasma thickened, completely swallowing Su Yan's figure. Old Qiao collapsed to the ground instantly, his hands falling limply to his sides, the compass slipping from his palms and crashing to the ground with a crisp sound. Inside the barrier, Su Wan stared at the observation platform shrouded in miasma and suddenly let out a heart-wrenching cry. But even this cry couldn't penetrate the barrier; it could only fade away in the deathly silence of the ancient tomb. A moment later, the miasma slowly receded, leaving only Su Yan's medical kit and a notebook, corroded and tattered by the miasma, on the observation platform. On the last page of the notebook was a line of blurred writing: "Reversal of Immortality... Bone Erosion..." At this moment, the barrier emitted a barely perceptible hum, the condensed earth energy gradually dissipated, and the malevolent energy of the Kun Palace's Death Gate was exhausted by the miasma eruption, causing the barrier to naturally collapse. But Old Qiao remained slumped on the ground, her eyes blankly staring in the direction of the observation platform, as if she had lost all strength. She slowly took a few steps, tears still streaming down her face. She didn't know where Su Yan had gone, nor why Old Qiao was so desperate. She only knew that the person who had always protected her would never return. Old Qiao, like a puppet whose strings had been suddenly pulled, staggered to his feet, ignoring the blood on his palms and the excruciating pain in his knees, and scrambled towards the observation platform in the center of the mud. The mud reached his calves, each step heavy as lead, but his eyes were fixed on that bronze platform—the place where Su Yan had disappeared. He clung to a last sliver of hope, that perhaps she had only been knocked unconscious by the miasma, that perhaps she was still there. When Old Qiao reached the observation platform, his fingertips first touched Su Yan's medical bag—blackened by the miasma, the zipper undone, its contents scattered on the ground. Besides the tattered notebook with the words "Reversal of Immortality... Bone Erosion..." Written on it, there was a softcover diary with daisies printed on the cover, and a silver brass button—the second button from the windbreaker that Old Qiao had draped over Su Yan's shoulders. Su Yan had said, "The button is loose, let me sew it up for you," but she had secretly kept it in the lining of her medical bag, and Old Qiao had never noticed. He trembled as he opened the diary; the edges of the pages were curled, the handwriting was delicate, and there were occasional traces of tears. The first page that catches the eye is a line of wrinkled handwriting: "On [Date], at the Li Palace Arrow Formation. A hail of arrows rained down, and Old Qiao shielded me. Arrows grazed me, blood seeped out, and a piece of my clothes was torn off. He smiled at me and said, 'It's alright.' When I saw the wound, my hands trembled as I applied medicine to it. I secretly tucked away the blood-stained piece of clothing, not daring to let him see me cry." [Reality] Old Qiao's fingertips traced the words "arrows grazed" on the page, and tears instantly fell onto the paper, blurring the ink. He clearly remembered how dense the arrow rain was that day, the stinging pain in his back, and his only thought at the time—he couldn't let Su Yan get hurt. [Memory] In the Li Palace Arrow Formation, the mechanisms clicked, and a hail of bronze arrows pierced the air. Su Yan was so startled that she forgot to dodge, and Old Qiao rushed forward to shield her, his back taking the brunt of several arrows that grazed her. He looked at Su Yan and grinned, "It's alright." Su Yan's hand pressed against his bleeding back, and tears instantly streamed down her face. Old Qiao took a deep breath, his hands trembling as he turned to the next page. The handwriting was still delicate, but it carried a gentle smile: "On [Date], my leg was injured by a trap. Old Qiao squatted down and carried me on his back. His back was broad and stable; I could hear his heartbeat as I lay on it. He was afraid I would be in pain, so he walked very slowly, and he even told me about the Qimen Dunjia divination method. I thought to myself, if only this road had no end." [Reality] Old Qiao let out a suppressed sob. He remembered carrying Su Yan that day; her breath gently brushed against his neck, tickling him and making his heart soften. He deliberately slowed his pace, wanting the road to be longer. [Memory] In the Kan Palace passage, Su Yan's leg was red and swollen from being caught in a trap. Old Qiao squatted down: "Get on, I'll carry you." Su Yan hesitated before climbing on. Old Qiao carefully avoided the loose stones, explaining the Qimen Dunjia divination method as they walked. Su Yan nestled against his back, a secret smile playing on her lips, her fingers gently clutching the hem of his shirt. He continued turning the pages, the pages bearing faint traces of campfire smoke: "Year ××××, Month ××, Day ××, Rest Camp. The night was terribly cold, and Old Qiao draped his windbreaker over me. The second button was loose, and I put it away intending to sew it back on for him later. The campfire illuminated his profile as he looked at the compass; his features were striking. I dared not tell him that I had liked him for a long time." [Reality] Old Qiao's gaze fell on the line "The second button was loose," his hand gripping the silver brass clasp tightly, the cold metal touch burning his heart. He remembered that night, seeing Su Yan shivering by the campfire, silently draping his windbreaker over her shoulders, her eyes sparkling when she looked up and smiled. [Memory] Rest Camp, the night wind growing chilly, Su Yan hugging her knees, shivering. Old Qiao silently walked over and draped his windbreaker over her shoulders. Su Yan looked up: "Thank you, Old Qiao." Old Qiao waved his hand: "Don't catch a cold." The firelight illuminated her profile. He pretended to look at the compass, but his eyes lingered on her. Old Qiao's fingers trembled even more violently. He turned to the last page, where the writing abruptly stopped. The following pages were corroded by the miasma, leaving only half a character for "love": "Year ××××, Month ××, Day ××, Hidden Path of the Neighboring Palace. We were about to enter the hidden path. Old Qiao repeatedly reminded me to pay attention to the energy flow under my feet. His compass turned so steadily; I wasn't afraid at all following him. If I could get out alive, I would definitely tell him..." [Reality] Old Qiao looked at the incomplete character for "love" and finally couldn't help but hug the diary and wail. He regretted being so slow to notice her feelings hidden in the details; he regretted being so busy looking at the compass that he hadn't looked into her eyes properly; he regretted not being able to protect her, letting her perish in this cold ancient tomb. [Flashback] Before entering the hidden path, Old Qiao repeatedly instructed Su Yan, "Pay attention to the energy flow patterns under your feet, and follow my compass." Su Yan looked at him, hesitant to speak, but finally just nodded, "Be careful too." Her fingers gripped the copper buckle, her heart filled with unspoken words. [Reality] Old Qiao cried for a long time, his sobs gradually fading into the empty mud pit. He slowly straightened up, carefully placing the diary in his arms, looking at the silver copper buckle in his hand—warm from being held so tightly, its edges still stained with the blood from her palm. He looked down at his compass strap, a worn canvas strap that had accompanied him through countless ancient tombs. He used his fingertips to open the old buttonhole on the canvas strap, his fingers trembling as he threaded the copper buckle through it, repeatedly rubbing it against his skin. He gently tightened the canvas strap, securing the copper buckle as close to the compass as possible, so that his fingertips could touch it every time he picked up the compass. Having done all this, he carefully tucked the tattered notebook into his robes, his movements so gentle it was as if he were afraid of disturbing something. He looked up at the darkness beyond the observation platform, the despair in his eyes gradually replaced by determination. He would use Su Yan's notebook to unravel the secret of "Reversed Immortality: Bone Erosion"; he would take care of Su Wan and fulfill her request; he would continue onward, carrying her hope, and leave this ancient tomb. Su Wan watched Old Qiao's retreating figure, wiped away her tears, and silently followed. She knew that from this moment on, their adventure would continue, and Su Yan's image would forever remain in their memories, accompanying them on the remaining journey.
