Chapter 10: Taboos about Grave Robbery

  "My martial arts skills come from our school, but my grave-robbing skills were actually taught by another master."

  Jian Yu Mei was listening carefully.

  "I actually studied tomb raiding skills from a man and a girl. I was infatuated with martial arts at the time, but unexpectedly met her, and she taught me a lot."

  At this time, Shifu's eyes were gazing into the distance, and Jian Yuemei felt that Shifu was both sweet and sorrowful at this moment!

  "That year, I coincidentally met her at an ancient tomb site, and later followed her to rob tombs. I was so young back then!" Master said.

  "It was only later that we got separated, and for many years I didn't see her again. The reason for our separation came from a misunderstanding, but this misunderstanding can no longer be made up for now, nor do I know if she is still in the world!"

  The master said.

  "Later on, I met another master who taught me even more advanced tomb raiding skills. Originally, I had hoped to learn them and then laugh together with her, but I was unable to find her again. So, I often mixed in with the tomb raiders' circle and frequently went to the scene of the tomb raids! I had hoped to be able to find her, to find some trace of her, but after all these years, there has been no news of her!" said Master.

  Jian Yu Mei felt deeply sorry for her master at this moment.

  "Master, life is often not as one wishes it to be, seven or eight out of ten times. You don't have to worry too much, I believe that if sincerity can move heaven, you will have a chance to meet again!" Jian Yu Mei said.

  "Ah, Mei'er, you're still young, remember this: in the future, you must master your skills to be proud of yourself. Also, when it comes to emotions, if you like someone, you must treat her well; otherwise, for the rest of your life, you'll only have deep regrets. No matter how successful or renowned you become, your life will be destined to be melancholic!" Master said.

  "Hmm, got it!" Jian Yu Mei said.

  "Mei, the art of grave robbing is complex and vast, not just a simple matter of digging graves! You see, if you want to come and go freely in so many dangerous mechanisms, your skills must be good! This requires you to practice qinggong well."

  You also need to learn some professional knowledge, such as Feng Shui. You have to know how to look at Feng Shui. What is meant by "look" is looking at Feng Shui. A truly skilled Feng Shui master doesn't need any tools like a compass or anything else, nor do they need to consult books on the spot. Those are just petty tricks. A skilled Feng Shui master can see with one glance what situation is where and how to rescue it, how to supplement it!

  Apart from Feng Shui, you must also grasp the knowledge of history, the origins and evolution of various tomb shapes throughout history. You must know who were the masters of grave robbing and designing in history, how they thought, and understand them in detail!

  Look, our country has always had a contradictory relationship between tomb raiding and anti-tomb raiding. On one hand, people are constantly researching how to raid tombs, while on the other hand, they are also constantly researching ways to prevent tomb raiding. In reality, in the end, the side that tries to prevent tomb raiding still loses, because there is no great tomb under heaven that has not been raided!

  You must understand the knowledge of cultural relics, how valuable those cultural relics are, the more you understand, the more it will help you. You are not a simple tomb raider, you want to make this study an art, make it high-end, your knowledge is greater and more outstanding!

  You must reach the level of an excellent cultural relics merchant, and also reach half the level of an archaeological expert. For any cultural relic that you handle, you can know its era and origin, which is very important. I remember that many tomb raiders often lost watermelons and picked up sesame seeds, discarding or destroying things worth a city, and taking away the most ordinary gold and silver, making people sigh.

  In addition, you also need to learn the spell-casting skills of the Mao Shan sect. This type of skill is very important for you. As a master, I have learned many different types of skills from various schools and sects. The spell-casting techniques of the Mao Shan sect are still very useful because if you want to steal tombs, you need to deal with those corpses and ghosts. They have been underground for decades or even thousands of years, some spirits do not leave the tomb chamber for thousands of years, and some become zombies. You must know how to deal with them and break through, otherwise, you cannot retreat unharmed! My Mao Shan spell-casting skills were passed down from a genuine Mao Shan master, it was also a coincidence. Those spells, you must learn well! Otherwise, you cannot become a successful tomb raider!

  Of course, the more you learn about various minor skills, the better! Your master also knows some of them, and your master will teach you everything he knows. In the future, when you travel around the world, you will also learn some of them! These are all very practical!

  Always, 72 lines, grave robbing is king! This industry is full of risks and challenges, but also full of great temptation! As the saying goes, good fortune is sought in danger, but if you've really seen the joys and sorrows of a thousand years, you actually don't care about good fortune anymore! However, I still hope that you can learn this skill! This is also my pride as your master! I hope that after you learn it, you can truly see inside and out! If so, our school will be fortunate! You will also be fortunate!

  "But I think you are naturally simple and carefree, I believe you can become the kind of person I hope to be!" Master said.

  "Master, don't worry, I will definitely learn the kung fu you taught me well! I will make your skills shine!" Jian Yu Mei said.

  "Hmm, this line of study is very profound, you must work hard to learn it. I hope that in five years, you can pass the initial test and become a qualified master!" The master said.

  "Yes, I will definitely remember Master's teachings and strive to go out of the mountain in five years and travel the world!" Jian Yu Mei said.

  "Hmm, you remembered. I hope you can use what you've learned to help the world, I didn't teach you to get involved in politics, that's not our business as cultivators. I just pity the people of this world, they have many troubles. I hope you can use your skills to rescue them!" The master said.

  "Disciple knows, disciple will do well! Definitely won't let Master down!" Jian Yu Mei said.

  Just then, a girl's voice appeared: "I said where did you guys go, it turned out to come here, what secrets can't be told to me?"

  Jian Yu Mei looked up and saw a little girl in red clothes with her hands crossed, looking innocent and mischievous, appearing before them.

  "Alright, Lin Li, stop messing around, I'm discussing something serious with your junior brother!" Master said with a smile.

  "Hmm, what's so important that you can't tell me? Is it some kind of top-secret kung fu that's only passed down to men and not women?" Lin Li said.

  "Haha, Lin Li, you are my daughter, and this is not the Chen family's Taiji Fist ancestral hall where they only pass it down to males! You are all my children, and my skills will be passed down to all of you! Don't worry about that! It's just that I have to consider your individual talents, some things are passed on based on the person!" Master said with a smile.

  "Alright! Father and Shidi have been saying this for so long, let him play with me for a while, you can continue to pass on the skills later, how about that?" Lin Li said.

  "You little girl, I'm discussing important matters with your junior brother, and we haven't finished yet! Either you wait aside or go home!" the master said.

  "Alright! I'm right here listening to you all!" Lin Li said.
