   Don't scroll away if you see this. I recommend a true tomb raiding novel: *The Tales of the Northern School of Scattered Earth*. No zombies, no traps, but real skills, real (jianghu, the martial arts world), and real heartbreak.

   Truth and falsehood intertwine, truth and falsehood are intertwined, and even truth and falsehood can blur the lines between reality and fiction. Regardless of the author's past experiences, I personally enjoy the first-person narrative style; it's quite good. When reading this novel, don't take it too seriously. If it's based on real events, what's written is only what the author wants you to see. There are many parts that, for various reasons, are either omitted or left unsaid. To increase interest, there are also details and processes related to fantastical tomb raiding. As ordinary people who haven't experienced these things, we're naturally curious about the author's story. Presumably, the author had the idea of ​​writing the story down during his time in prison. If it's fictional, it shows the author has considerable storytelling skills and a broad range of knowledge. In any case, for a layman like me, the author's story is a completely different world, but it's still quite captivating.
