    Recommended book. 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 will reveal whether it's a hollow or a water-filled cave, as the echoes will be completely different. Observing the color of grass from a hundred meters away, the thick soil of Han tombs results in dark green grass, while the thin soil of Ming tombs results in yellowish grass. Smelling a handful of soil up close, a burnt smell indicates the Han dynasty, a sour smell indicates the Tang dynasty, and the fragrance of camphor wood indicates 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.
