Four teacher is sitting on a mound, talk to anyone, the stranger staring at the ground the Luoyang shovel.

Shovel head with just brings out of the ground the old earth, strange is that a slab of Earth are kept to extravasation of Red liquid, as they had just dipped in blood.

This big trouble here. Old cigarette butts hanyan he knocked on the ground and said, here is a blood-GA, fix us this when, to put down in the well below. 

No Nan? Bad, in a Word, not Qi Li Pali! One eyed guy said, you said your a elderly walk is not easy, not anymore, me and my brother both, no matter what, to shuttle directly to him. 

Old cigarette butts don't laugh, on the edge of a beard says: you two ya Zihai sultry days in the House, who knows when to turn over the lid, you need more education, we in this business, not just chest Cannon can only load the West. 

That beard gave the young man a stern look: your baby, so to speak to Sir, when venerable Tao eat shit fuck you in your mother's womb. 

I've said ... ... Wrong, our ancestors did not say why, that blood is a good thing, here baby, without it, GA a batch of soup. 

How dare you talk back to me! The mustachioed hand, was turned back by old cigarette smoker.

No, you did ya not is the same, this is called gene pool! 

The one-eyed man watching his father being scolded, bowed his head laughing, old cigarette cough sound, hit the one-eyed stick of boy a blow on the head: what are you laughing at? Met blood, can be small or large, two male is the last time you dig this stuff in Luoyang, result is goofy, didn't know what a way. Wait, you were behind me, a soil to two Brats you mouse rear, three Brats you don't go on, four down, too late to want to return back, you took the rat's tail, we you pull out something on the inside. 

Young, the youngest was unconvinced: I'm not, you eccentric, I told my mother to go! 

Old cigarette butts to laugh: you see, you see three Brats were also afraid not, come on, wait a minute you touch gold dagger knife. 

I don't want you to touch, I touch myself. 

The one-eyed second fire, grabbed the third ear: I challenge you guys this hybrid find a seam, then, say hello to Lao Bao Chu Nom?! 

The youngest juvenile weekday it seems to get a lot of punch, a look at his two elder brothers really blew up, was too frightened to say anything, look at his dad for help, how his dad had to pick up the guys going. Under his brother proud: you He Shi slightly without love, then, the old man did not help you, you want to yell, I twist you put chicken it! 

Old cigarette butts patting second shoulder and screamed: boys, fuck guys now! Finished a whirlwind spade has danced away.

Half an hour later, pirates had played the hole see to the end, apart from the second air from time to time, whose voice can be heard clearly in the hole, the third was impatient, they shouted toward the hole: Grandpa, digging through yet? 

After a few seconds, before there was a fuzzy voice: do not ... ... Know, you ... ... At the top, pull ... ... Good strings! 

Is the voice of his brother, and then heard the sound of his old cigarette cough a: be quiet ... ... Listen! There is movement! 

Then there's dead silence.

Old know what changes, are scared to speak, suddenly, he heard a chilling cackle, as if toads call came out of the hole.

And then he yelled at one of the following: three brats, pull! 

He can't snub, a pedal to suddenly pulled live soil mouse of tail, on to outside pulled, just pulled has several Xia, suddenly following seems has what things bite has, was has a unit anti-force put rope to stolen hole lire to, third fundamental didn't wants to had also will has this situation, almost on was pulled to hole in to, he mischief, suddenly put tail tied in himself waist Shang, then body backward pour to, back almost and ground into has 30 degrees angle, this is he in village and other male children tug-of-war of when with of tricks, So his weight all on the line, even a mule, he can hold one.

Sure enough, so he and the confrontation in both their hard, but couldn't pull the Nickels, deadlocked for more than 10 seconds, he heard the hole in the box with a gun, then heard his father shouting: someday, run!!!!!! Feel the rope a loose, pop out from the hole with a mouse zoom, like hanging something above! At that time the youngest was able to so many, he knows sure things given below, a mouse caught, turned tail and run!

Him seven runs in two more, dare stop mouse pulled out his arms look scared and let out a sound, a bloody severed hand on the mouse. He knew the hand looks like, not from crying out, this hand is clear is his brother. It seems brother even if he did not die and was disabled. Think about this, he could not have teeth, would like to return to save his brother and father, just one back, but see a crouching behind a blood-red thing and looked at him.

This third also not a second-rate goods, weekday in followed he Torre waves Amoy sand, bizarre of things see had many, know this to under of, what things are has may occurred, most important of not fuss, but ear, to know again dangerous of ghost also strong but a living, this what black fierce white fierce of, also have comply with physical law, a shuttle bullet playing past, playing rotten has also on nothing good fear of has.

Think about this, he cross his heart, back, waist-level with a gun had pulled the box in his hand, opened fire, as long as that red a movement, to give him his first with the flowers in the storm. Who knew that red thing was standing up, the youngest a closer look, feel tingling of the scalp, stomach churning, that is clearly a man flayed skin! Mix under the body bloody, as if his entire squeezed out from the skin. But such a person, can still move around, it is a wonder, is this blood for what?

Wants to with, that blood corpse a bow, suddenly on bashing has came, suddenly third on and he on eyes has, that bloody of face suddenly on posted with he of nose, a unit acid gas blowing and to, third homeopathic backward a pour, while box gun whole a shuttle bullet all near distance playing in has that things chest Shang, distance had near, bullet all are wear has past, put that things playing of blood spent splash, to back has several step. Third indulged in, and then back to his hand on the head of a trigger, it snapped, the gun jammed!

This gun was the old boxes his grandfather dug out from the tomb of a warlord, is useless to how many months or years, but in recent years followed his dad around, no maintenance, flat shooting when there are less and less, who knows have been stuck at this point. That three really is not simple, a gun is bad, hard as he turn round arm with gun to hit in the past, regardless of hit didn't hit, turned and ran. This time, he would not even head back, saw a big tree in front of the past, wondering what it will not climb it, suddenly stumbled, he was a dog eat excrement, knock the whole face in a stump, suddenly nose mouth was full of blood.

Three to tango on the ground, the breath, so how the hell back.

Then hear behind the wind sounded, knowing yanwangye to roll, a horizontal, death is death, not just lying on the floor up. Didn't only, that with blood corpse seems didn't see he as, was from he body stepped on has past, that bloody of feet immediately in he behind printing next marks, this blood corpse surprisingly of heavy, a feet down, third on think voice a sweet, only sleep bile are was like stepped on spit has out, and back Shang that was stepped on had place immediately a odd itch, front immediately Dim up, he immediately realized that himself may poisoning has, and toxicity also very of violent, trance between he see not distance of place, he II brother of that only hand in seems also holds with what things.

He blinked, looked carefully, turned out to be a piece of silk. He thought, home II brother spell has life are to with out of things, certainly not unusual things, now and not know they how has, I somehow have put things received good, if I really of died has, they found I of body, also can from I body find have with, that II brother of this only hand also not is white broken has, I also not white died. So he thought, struggling to climb, and when the second brother holding the hand that silk out of Palm, stuffed into their sleeves.

At this time he was starting beeping and eyes covered with a layer of gauze-like, that had started to cool. Based on his past experience, urine a lot in his crotch now, people died of ptomaine in ugly, his best hope is not the second girl to the next village to see themselves that way.

He just thugs with a dream, his mind had not listened to him when he begins vaguely hear him giggling noises heard in the steal entrance.

Three faintly feel a little wrong, have struggled with the blood over time, have also heard it called a, also called up now? Does that not just blood? Just saw then what is it? Unfortunately, he can barely think at this time, his reflexes looked a bit and saw a huge Monster face bent down and looked at him, two empty no pupil eyes lifeless.

Chapter II after 50 years

50 years later, the Xiling Seal Engravers, Hangzhou, my thoughts were interrupted by an old man, I close my grandfather's notes, look at the other side.

Do you do you accept rubbings? He asked, just ask, I do this quite talented, and justifying his: collection, but the price is not high yield. Mean, you don't have good stuff rolling, don't delay big read.

We do this, three years is not open, open for three years, normally accustomed to free, hate to serve those with a smattering of guests, evolved later, as long as I see those crossings, then I directly funeral music people. But spare a little too much, high season over, can't see anything good coming in, so there's a little lost.

Then I want to ask, there's no silk rubbings of the warring States period? Was 50 years ago, several master stolen out of Changsha, and Americans cheated out of that one? The man looked at me behind the counter collections, asked.

If you say was cheated by the Americans, is there. I heard on the fire, rubbings of course is to be found in the market at Amoy, which specifies a book to find, how can it find? 

He lowered his voice: I heard that you have a way, I was itching to introduce here. 

I watch out for and the mind a surprised, old Yang was not the year before into the ward, how, for me? A nasty, cold sweat came out on the back, which ... ... Which old itches, I don't know. 

I know, I know, he smiled, dig up a watch from her bosom, you see, old Yang said that as soon as you see the see. 

Watches are old Yang in the Northeast when he first love for him, he lives as this table when, drunk, take out the table while watching cuckoo, my call, I asked him what's your mother, he thought for a long time, crying out and said fuck I forgot. This old Yang is willing to give this form to the person, and that this person is really important.

How can I look that people find repulsive, but she has come, but you talk readily, so direct wave: that old itch even if you are friends, find me something? 

He teeth smile, revealing a gold tooth: I pick up something a friend of mine in Shanxi province, want you to show me, that is not the real thing. 

See you in Opera, you soil targets to the South in Beijing come to me for advice, you flatter me, Beijing how many players, I'm afraid you boys! 

Him heh heh laugh: say southerners smart, not fake, you young, also very transparent, and to tell you the truth, I have come here to do not ask you I want to meet you Sir. 

My face just changed: find my grandfather, what motive? 

Your father was in Changsha DART Zi Ling stolen silk after the warring States period, there is one or two rubbings? My friend wanted to know, whether the volume and we have the same? 

He never finished, I dozed off on here man shouted: Wang Meng, a visitor! 

The old gold teeth on nasty: what was said said to catch people? 

What you say is good, but you are too late, I Don West last year, you have to find him, go back and cut the veins! My heart: those things, even alarmed the Central, that is the big thing, how could you turn out old debts, can also have you in my house? 

I said you little grandson, talking how not to listen to it. The big gold teeth thief smiling old man face, the Don is not does not matter, I also did not say how it, somehow, you also take a look at my stuff, you also sell the itchy face or not? 

I look at him with one eye, smirk, seems not to look at him, he does refuse to go, said when the old itch a face, nor was he when he came out to complain and nodded: look, if I can't say. 

Actually this warring States silk has 20 more volume, each volume the not same, I Grandpa at extension down of that a article just which is short of part, but and extremely important, now is I has several rubbings Dang pressure bottom of baby, world Shang rich also buy not to, saw that gold teeth old man from arms in took a Zhang white, I a see on to gas, by, also is a copies.

Yes, that baby that can carry around and ran, flick the pieces. He said, pretending to be mysterious voice, I not well connected, run this thing has gone abroad, is also serving. 

I laugh: you did that look like just a bucket, I see you are not shots, this is a national treasure, you don't want to! 

Was I exposed a Word, old man face on the Green, but he asks me, had to put up with, said: can't say, each row and each row road, Miss you when Don was in Changsha, master, it is renowned far and wide......

I must be hard to see, through gritted teeth: you want my grandpa, I don't see it! 

Well, I stop, you give me the look I better hurry and run. 

I opened the white head, and know at a glance, this is a well-preserved silk of the warring States, but it's not my grandfather was stolen out of a job, this time is relatively long, but should be a few fakes, that is antique fakes, this identity is a very awkward thing. So I smiled: it is Han's fake, how do you say, you said it was false, nor false, saying that it is true, is not really who knows this just as the copy is made? So I don't know what to say. 

That this is not your grandfather stolen out of that one? 

Be honest with you, my grandfather is stolen out of that he had a chance to catch a glimpse of the United States men cheat over and your questions that I can't answer you. I thought to tell you is not easy, also put on a sincere look on expression. The old gold tooth really believed, and sighed: that's not a coincidence, that seems not to find that Americans really did not expect, I'm afraid. 

Why, how can you so concerned about this volume? I said, this is too weird, this ancient book collection is the fate of, want to put a set of 20 volumes of the warring States period of ancient books are found, it would be too much.

Little brother, not to tell you the truth, I did not fight, you see my body, which is least troublesome, but my friend really is the expert, I do not know what is selling well, in a Word, people are people of truth. He smiled, shook his head, I also ask, right, go a step further. He never looked back and went.

I bow a see, he that Zhang copy paper also in I hand in does, suddenly, I in that paper Shang found a pattern, that is a Fox as of people face, two only no pupil of eyes is has icing, seems from that paper Shang concave has out as, see have I sucking has mouth coolness, this a copies silk I has never didn't see had, should is a copies treasures. I thought the old itch, use a copy of this to do some fake rubbings are enough for me. Hastily ran out the door of a busy eye, only to see the gold teeth old man is back.

I thought he was back inside to get this thing ran back and picked up the digital camera to shoot it down, walk out the door and pick up pieces of paper. Big gold teeth old man's nose: something you forgot. I said.

My grandfather was Changsha clay master, also called grave robbers.

My grandfather into the reasons for this are not surprisingly, now says it is a hereditary profession. I Tai Gong of Tai Gong 13 age that years, central area make drought, that era, a make drought on up famine, you rich also buy not to things eat, then Changsha side corner angle in what are no, is Tomb Raider more, so backer eat three, by Tomb eat Tomb, village people with pour bucket, that years not know Changsha area has how many people starve to death, can on they that village a are didn't died, also a a are eat a shiny faces of, that can full is by with with dug out of things with foreigners for food eat to such of.

Again later time long has, Tomb this things and other things as, also has a culture of accumulated, to I Grandpa that generation, has has rules, and door sent of points, that when tomb of points South, and North two sent, South sent is I Grandpa that sent, at Luoyang shovel exploration soil, master only by a nose on can concluded that shades dynasty, now many novel in description still on Luoyang shovel, actually North sent is without Luoyang shovel of, they specializing in on mausoleum location, and structure of accurate judge, is so-called of found Dragon acupuncture. But Northern is a bit odd, how to say it, according to my grandfather that they not really, head burn too much, stealing a tomb still so many tricks, things go, and one button two button, put bureaucracy is now. And South sent rules on not more, and never taboo dead, North sent people scolded South sent is soil dog, spoil heritage, pour had of bucket didn't a not collapsed of, even dead are pulled out sold, South sent scolded North sent is hypocrite, clearly is a thief also made himself with what like, later more is make to to rush of point, even also has bucket corpse a of things occurred, to last two sent finally designated Yangtze River and points, North sent called pour bucket, South sent on called Amoy sand or Amoy soil, Luoyang shovel also is points has zhihou only invention out, North sent people fundamental disdain using.

I Grandpa he not awareness Word, later into has literacy class, then he only will Amoy sand, learn a word almost put he toss died, also lost has he has has culture, to put he of some experience records down, in Changsha DART child Ling that third, is I Grandpa, these things are he is a word a word records in he that this old of notebook Shang, I grandma is a intellectuals, Lady, is was he of these story attract, last I Grandpa on walk to Hangzhou to, in here Ann has home.

Note my family family baby, after my grandpa's nose in something that would completely nullify the, later, he trained a dog to sniff, man nicknamed King. This is the real thing, now done master in Changsha, people know that the name of the older generation.

My Grandpa what happened alive, my two uncles and a grandfather and his wife what finally happened, my grandfather still refuses to tell me, in my memory, I have not seen a one-eyed one-armed Milliner, estimated the odds are really, a reference to this matter, my grandfather crying, just say: that's not what kids can listen to stories. No matter how we ask, how to play, and he wouldn't give me a Word. Finally, as we grow older, and began to lose their childhood curiosity.

Evening, shops closed and boring day, fart thing is not in, sent me off, man, this time a text message sent.

9 point corn yellow. 

Three uncles sent me is home, this is dark, that is a new stock to the next, another dragon spine, fast. 

My eyes lit up and three uncles eyes surprisingly high, the meaning of the Dragon's back is a good thing, even he would think it is a good thing, and I really want to see.

I shut the door, driving my old Gold Cup car would get my three uncles there, to see what he calls a good thing on the one hand, on the other hand, wanted to show him I took today to share patterns on silk in the end is what? He is our generation only and the master contact person.

I just opened to him downstairs, I heard he called: you fuck, you come on, you wear a long time, now have a fuck! 

I say: come on, good thing for me, you go too fast. 

Being said, I saw a young man he went out of the main entrance, who backs a long thing, clothing solid, knowing at a glance is an ancient weapon, this thing is really worth if sold well, price can turn up more than 10 times.

I pointed at the young man and my three uncles nodded, and made helpless gestures, I felt sad, I thought my little stall this year really is going bankrupt?

I Shang has floor, himself make has Cup coffee, put today that gold teeth old man run to spying on things and three tert-a said, this thought he will and I hatred, didn't thought he seems variable has personal as, silence not language, directly put I digital camera in of things print has out, put in lamp Xia a see, I immediately saw I three tert-face variable has.

How was it? I asked, what's this stuff catch? 

He frowned and said, Oh, no, this is the tomb of maps! 

Third-seed Temple

I look at the silk covered in text print, then at tri-tert-expression, is not kidding, how did three uncles have been detached to the point where can see pictures of the words? What weekday hookers in old dirty men had no root.

Three uncles not tremble excitement while talking to himself: where do these people get such a good thing, how I never touch the, which was created, it looks like they don't know what it is, we can get before they got the sand would be allocated to. 

I am greatly puzzled: uncle, maybe I'm stupid, but you really can see it in such a small Word map? 

You know what, this is called calligraphy, is the location where detailed written in words, this thing, if someone really can't read, thanks to your uncle and I have a little experience, in this world, can read this stuff except me perhaps not more than 10 persons. 

My uncle no other skill, but grew up on the strange unorthodox ancient text and code in research, in a Word, is something uncommon what he studies, like five wooden figure of the xixia, NV the earliest Word, he can tell me the way to. So he can know what the good OL ' paintings, I was not surprised.

But he's got the cheapest will pretend to type, have to act stupid in front of him, or he has sent you a Word, so I pretended to be a silly face and asked him: Oh, that is written above the left and right, see trees right in front, saw and drill down a well? Like this? 

Uncle sighed: ru Zi is not taught well, your perception is so bad, it looks like we are home to your generation is finished. 

I saw him like this, also is true, appeared to be from the heart, not from amused: so what do you say? My dad taught me, this stuff is not born again. 

He proud to Gaga mouth, said: This calligraphy, actually is species password, it has strictly of format, as long as put inside wrote of things according to it of format painting out, is a site full of map has, all you don't underestimate this district several word of silk, not know inside of information has more complex, maybe even where with has how many block brick are standard have is clear. 

I heard on the interest, the heart that I grew up, the family didn't let me go out in a real fight, this time bound to Uncle took me to see, and touch the baby through the economic crisis. So thought to ask him, who is that you can see inside the Tomb, or is it more the first primary? 

Uncle smiled proudly: I can't fully understand right now, but the Tomb should be a noble of the warring States period State, none of his grave was in this secret pictures and recorded in on this piece of silk, that person's position should be quite high, inevitably hidden and that the cemetery is a combative, is definitely worth a visit. 

The way I look at him straight in the eyes light up, I felt strange, the old man's door on weekdays are too lazy to step down, is trying to personally? That's an unheard-of fantastic story, asked him: how? Three uncles, you really want to go dig it sand? 

He took took I of shoulder: this you on not understand has's, and you said, Tang Song Yuan in Ming and Qing dynasties, that bucket inside is has baby, but that up only said is representing, but warring States of when, that period of Royal Tomb Raider, era too long has, you forever also estimated not to that inside has what things, that warring States Tomb but out artifact of place, that can are is room no of things! What are you saying I do not want to see? 

You're so sure of that? Maybe there is nothing too? 

No, you didn't see the pattern? He pointed to the quirky Fox faces: this is Lu's first sacrifice sacred masks, buried in the tomb of what must have been very special person, than the emperors were also honored. 

I blurted out: the Emperor of his dad. 

Uncle gave me a dirty look, they want to pick up that piece of paper, I hold, he smiled: uncle, you don't pick up, how can I say this is what I got, how are you going to take me to see. 

He shouted: no, and that sand is not so simple, that places without air conditioning, heavy, has the potential to give pause. You are your father's only child, if you have happened to, I cannot but ask your dad to pick. 

I shouted: down! When I visited! Said the papers from his hands violently pulled out, turned around and left. I know three tert-this people, once encountered himself like of things, on is principles also no, see antique such, see woman also such, I on Xia puying he this is, was only go has several step, he on surrendered has, chase up, a put pulled live I hand in of paper: good good, you badly, but I can said has, we Xia stolen hole of when, you can have stay in above. Head Office, right? 

I was elated, saying: when I'm going down can you stop me? Busy nodded: a Word! Away from home, listening to you, why don't you let me, I do! 

Uncle reluctantly let out a sigh and said: We also do not succeed, I transferred some experienced guys back in tomorrow, I this painting these days, you have to help me to buy something. With that he quickly wrote a note to me, said to me, don't buy a fake, as well, ready to travel outfits, or not to where we first detained. I nod, their split up.

Three tert-to of things are compared tricky, I think I'm afraid is deliberately embarrassed about I, because this list in of things General shop in also really no, like what points poses waterproof miner's lamp, thread pipe, test soil shovel head, more with Saber, folding shovel, short handle hammer, bandages, nylon and so on, I only buy has half on spent has nearly 10,000 block money has, heart that called this distressed Ah, straight scolded this old Fox, MOM of so rich also so mean.

Three days later, I had two of my three uncles old Amara, man, and that my uncle bought the Dragon hand back the goods guy, five men came to the seeds further to the West of the Temple in Shandong province 100 kilometers of the place.

Says of the place, how should I say it, I can only say that this is a place where nothing. We first coach, then is long-distance CMB, then is long-distance motorcycle, then is cattle, we last from cart down of when, Qian see Hou Hou left see right see also is what are didn't, then on see front run to a only dog, I three tert-a took please to of Wizard, Don, Xia a drive I riding this dog did, I'm afraid this dog enough closure Ah! 

No, he laughed, this dog is used for news, this final leg, leaving their cars, ships, and the dog will bring the ship. 

The dog, can swim? 

You very good, and very good, the old man looked at the dog, donkey balls, to tour a look. 

Dog really intelligent, really jump into the river and swim in a circle. Fluffs hair, tongue lying on the ground.

It's still too early, the boatman has not begun, let rest, smoke puffs. 

I glanced at my watch: afternoon 2 has not begun, what are your boatman schedule? 

Here he was a boatman, he is the most powerful, when when he started going all day sometimes starts, makes people anxious. The old man smiled, no way, the River God ye sold his face, others, as long as one into the hole must not get out of the cave, he was OK. If you can ride a mule, we can turn over from the mountain, then one can, but do you think you so many things, our mule you use enough in the village. 

Oh. Uncle heard the cave immediately spurred, take out the translation map, this map as he had been when the baby, won't let me take a look at all, he picked out, we immediately leaned over to watch, only the boy was silent sitting.

To be honest, I di-tert-two guys get along well, are people, just like kylin, it didn't even let a fart, but stared straight days, seemed melancholy days will fall off like, hate it! I started to also say a few words to him, was simply too lazy to care for him, I really do not understand Uncle brought him to do.

A cave, really is a river cave, just behind the mountains. Uncle said, how the elderly, this cave can eat people? 

Don hehe a laugh: are is Shang several generation left to words has, I also remember not clear has, that river didn't pass of when, village are said inside has snake fine, in of people a are didn't out had, later one day, that boatman of too Grandpa on from that hole in support has a boat out has, said is outside to of peddler, you said this peddler which has carry with only ship everywhere run of? Everyone said he was a snake, he's Grandpa laugh, said the ship was next to his village, do not believe can go next door and ask, they went to ask, it was so, they believe, have thought that the genie is already out of the hole, and daring young men to get to the hole, and didn't come out. Since then only people straight in and straight out of his house, said odd don't you? They have been doing that, up until now. 

"The dog
