   History + Imagination + Cunning Male Lead + Suspense Everyone knows the immortals are good, but only fame and fortune are unforgettable. Where are the generals and ministers of ancient and modern times? A mound of weeds covers their desolate graves. Everyone knows the immortals are good, but only gold and silver are unforgettable. They only hate that they haven't amassed enough wealth, but when they have plenty, their eyes are closed in death. Everyone knows the immortals are good, but only their beloved wives are unforgettable. While the emperor is alive, they speak of love and affection every day; when the emperor dies, they go with others. Everyone knows the immortals are good, but only their children and grandchildren are unforgettable. Many parents throughout history have been devoted to their children, but who has seen truly filial children and grandchildren? In the flowing years and boundless mountains and rivers of this land, countless relics are scattered. Their clues are faintly discernible, yet they remain a mystery. From the Brahma chants of the snowy plains of the Western Regions to the dynastic bronzes of the Central Plains; from the broken walls and steles of the southern frontier to the colorful flying apsaras of the northern desert veins. Behind all this, it seems someone is using the entirety of Chinese history as a framework, playing a game of chess that spans the ages—a silent contest where mountains and rivers form the board, and dynasties are the pieces. The final chapter of the legend has never been written, because the story has only just begun. This book is a must-read; it's incredibly exciting, slow-paced at the beginning, but fast-paced later. The places the protagonists travel to are extremely mysterious, seemingly unattainable. The protagonist isn't a saint; their identity is shrouded in mystery. Moreover, the author is very responsible; the more readers there are, the more updates they will produce.

    A Southern School of Lingnan, a unique tomb raiding novel. Let's take a look at the introduction: [Tomb Raiding + Suspense + Treasure Appraisal] My name is He Shouyi, a tomb raider sentenced to fifteen years, and the third-generation appraiser of the Jiao Si lineage. I've lost count of how many tombs I've entered in my life. Our lineage has five signature skills: listening to thunder to identify the burial site, observing grass to identify the soil, smelling mud to determine the age, examining traces to locate the site, and distinguishing fakes from treasures. On a thunderstorm, inserting a copper pipe into the ground, thirty meters down, the echo is completely different whether it's a hollow hole or a water cave. Observing the color of grass from a hundred meters away, the thick soil of Han tombs makes the grass dark green, while the thin soil of Ming tombs makes the grass yellowish. Bringing a handful of soil close to smell, the burnt smell is from the Han Dynasty, the sour smell is from the Tang Dynasty, and the camphor scent is from the Song Dynasty. This set of skills was passed down from Master Jiao Si from the Qing Dynasty, and my grandfather taught me for eight years. Accompanying me in tomb raiding are three brothers who have risked their lives for me. Ah Shui, the fourth-generation Tanka water ghost. The Pearl River's bottom held its breath for four and a half minutes; you could date porcelain shards by touching them—Song dynasty porcelain had thick glazes like eggshells, while Ming dynasty porcelain had thin glazes that revealed the body. Old Lin, the 21st generation of Yangjiang sea salvage workers. His family had a sharkskin nautical chart passed down from the Southern Song dynasty; the seashells were from shipwrecks, and below the whirlpool were only four words: "Do Not Enter." Take care. Ah Kun, the 5th generation of Hakka feng shui practitioners. Before entering a tomb, he burned talismans and chanted incantations, saying it was to borrow a path from the things underground. The four of us excavated from the Nanyue King's Tomb in Baiyun Mountain to the Southern Han Dynasty's two mausoleums on Xiaoguwei Island, and from the Hakka tombs in Meizhou to the shipwreck off the coast of Yangjiang. This book contains the genuine artifacts from the Jiao Si Fragment, the skills and rules gained at the cost of several lives. There are also some things I never understood until my death. For example, the four symbols on that jade seal—my grandfather studied them for thirty-four years without deciphering them. For example, the whirlpool area on Old Lin's nautical chart—I went down there, saw it, but couldn't explain it. All of these are written in this notebook.
