Ghost Blowing Lantern II

But Yang Erdan was going to die. After repeated questioning by Lao Yangpi, he learned that there was a group of tomb robbers operating in the Daxinganling area. They were a group of unscrupulous thieves. He is bold, evil-minded, and dares to dig anything, but he has no idea how to find those unmarked ancient tombs. Yang Erdan is more thoughtful than Lao Yangpi and has learned more skills.

After being introduced by someone, I had evil thoughts and wanted to join the Ni'er Hui. At that time, the "Ni'er Hui" was in need of people like Yang Erdan. Whether it was women or money, I could give him as much as he wanted. The most important thing was to make him sit on the head. Yang Erdan, who was given the golden throne, deliberately welcomed him. In the past, Yang Erdan had always looked at other people's faces. He had lived a lowly life for so many years. Maybe it was because he had lived in the lower class of society for too many years, so he didn't even have the courage to go there himself. When I came to the world, I was so impressed by the good words of the people of the "Ni'er Hui" that I couldn't even find him in the north. Seeing such good things, I went to the Northeast to work as the "big cabinet" of the Ni'er Hui.

Yang Erdan was so greedy for profit that he went to the mountains of Northeast China to work as a trap for the tomb robbers "Ni'erhui". Lao Yangpi only had this one brother, and he valued him more than his own life. When he saw Yang Erdan, he decided to leave. I had no other choice but to follow him to the three northeastern provinces and become the "understander" of the Ni'er Society. This profession was roughly equivalent to a modern technical consultant.

Although Lao Yangpi and Yang Erdan are brothers, they have completely different personalities. Yang Pi is more ambitious, while Lao Yangpi is timid and fearful and just wants to live a peaceful life. Not only that, Lao Yangpi also fears ghosts. God, his superstitious thoughts are deeply rooted, but as the saying goes, "If you are afraid of ghosts, don't rob tombs, and if you rob tombs, don't be afraid of ghosts." With his personality, he is really not suitable for such jobs as "fighting" and "escape".

The so-called "sneaking" refers to a daily activity that tomb robbers use to conceal themselves from others. The tomb robbers obtained various valuable burial objects in the ancient tombs and needed to trade them to find the purchase price. The communication methods in the old society were relatively backward. The pace of life is slow. In order to easily contact buyers and expand business scope, they have to use the "second cover" of the underworld. Those who do business with tomb robbers do not open antique shops, but specialize in various funeral supplies, such as burning for the dead. The paper horse incense sticks include paper figures, paper horses, paper cows, paper houses, paper sedan chairs, etc. Anyway, they are all things that can be used in the underworld.

There is a word difference between ordinary funeral supplies shops and it is called "Ji Si". The kind of shop opened by tomb robbers is different from ordinary paper shops. In the past, the business shops had a cover and hung in front of the door. , one can tell at a glance what kind of goods this shop sells. When a tomb robber opens a paper shop, he will hang a string of white paper money on the cover. There are seventy-two pieces of paper money in total, which are the number of earthly evil spirits. All the paper money is the same. A serious businessman with an ominous embossed pattern, even a shop that also sells paper horse incense sticks, will never hang such unlucky paper money on the cover. Anyone who hangs a string of seventy pieces of paper money, this shop is knowledgeable People call it "Fierce Cry". Even if it wasn't opened by tomb robbers, at least it was a place specially used for tomb robbers to sell their stolen goods.

The craftsmen who "do it" sweep the graves every time they work. As the saying goes, "A thief comes like a shave." Everything in the tomb is swept away, even the things in the excrement door of the dead are not spared. Those valuable artifacts are very easy to sell, but some fragmentary knick-knacks, or some artifacts that have not found a suitable buyer for a while, are all classified as "fierce". Every now and then, some people will sell antiques. Businessmen came to make purchases, and there was a lot of shady exchanges during the negotiation. The paper horse incense sold on the surface in the store was completely fake, but most people who didn't understand these methods couldn't tell at all.

The bandit surnamed Chen opened several "fierce traps" in Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces, and secretly resold ancient wares. Lao Yangpi made cabinets for him, but he was almost frightened and fell ill. In the ancient tomb The hidden artifacts have been darkened for a long time, and the corpse odor is hard to get rid of. Moreover, some inexplicable strange things often happen to some of them. Lao Yangpi is not the material for this business at all. Later, he followed his accomplices to rob tombs and dig up tombs. He encountered many terrible experiences, none of which he could bear mentally.

After the whereabouts of the bandit chief surnamed Chen were unknown, Lao Yangpi planned to use the savings he had saved in the past two years to live a peaceful life in the countryside for a few days. He would hang up the black tiger talisman, wash his hands in the gold basin, and stay away from this world where he was exposed to the dead. In order to take care of his brother Yang Erdan, he had to go to the Northeast and become the "understander" of the gangsters.

The "Ni'er Hui" roped in the old Yangpi brothers and asked Yang Erdan to build a large cabinet. It was not out of sincerity, but they used the two of them as spearmen. The one who really has the final say in the "Ni'er Hui" is Tuan The "Mr. Tongsuan" in the book, this person used to be a teacher, dig mud in the river, and also worked as a fortune teller in the world. He has been in the business for many years, and he is well-informed. He is sinister, cunning, and ruthless. As long as it was for the sake of making money, there was nothing he wouldn't dare to do. The gang of gangsters under him not only robbed tombs, but also did other unscrupulous things. They were full of evil.

Mr. Tongsuan and Yang Erdan, together with the bandits from the "Mu'erhui", dug ancient tombs in the deep mountains and old forests. They dug holes in the places where there might be ancient tombs in the mountains, and then resold the exposed objects in the tombs. , in exchange for money, smoke and soil, they squandered it lavishly. As long as the buyer paid a high enough price, even if it was sold to a Japanese businessman and he was accused of being a traitor, he didn't care at all. If the people in the group had the slightest objection, they would just He will be assassinated by Mr. Tongsuan and lose his life.

Lao Yangpi figured it out, and if he continued to follow the "Mu'er Hui", he would definitely not get a good end. He hit his head against the wall to persuade Yang Erdan to turn back, but Yang Erdan was so obsessed that he didn't take it to heart at all. If you are determined to go all the way to the dark side, you will become a gangster. You will be a popular person, drink spicy food, kill men, play with women, smoke big cigarettes, and play with old money. If God is the king, the gangster will be the second king. It is not better than being that Good people who live in peace and contentment are happy, and a lifetime is enough for a person to go through this world once.

That winter, a Japanese came to see Mr. Tongsuan of the "Ni'er Society", and the two secretly discussed a major plan behind closed doors. It turned out that Mr. Tongsuan had established a relationship with the Japanese Black Dragon Society by reselling antiquities. At that time, the Japanese Kwantung Army was looking for something lost among the Chinese people. According to the intelligence, it might be buried in a tomb or under a temple monument.
