Although spring has arrived, the weather is still quite cool. After a few cups of wine, everyone's body also started to sweat. Everyone was young and there were no barriers between them, so after introducing themselves, they quickly became familiar with each other.
After three rounds of wine and five flavors of dishes, the coffin spoke first:
"Today, we three can sit together, it's also a fate. Let's have a drink first."
The three of us raised our glasses again at the same time, and I've lost count of how many times we've done this. I told them about my dreams, and they were both amazed.
"Haven't you seen that map? It's the Yu Ming Shan Book."
"Yes, it's that tattered cloth Pongpang brought."
"Haha, it's done, finally found the person, and it didn't take much effort at all." Coffin and Pengpeng exchanged a smile.
"What kind of tricks are you two hiding up your sleeves?"
"Brother-in-law, this time you have no choice but to get involved." Pengpeng patted me on the shoulder and burst out laughing.
"Alright, stop messing around, I should tell him." The coffin suddenly became serious. I also listened quietly.
"As far as I know, this cloth book records the wealth of past lives, and only those who have been reborn in this life can sense its existence. In other words, you are the reincarnation of the person who wrote this cloth book, but because Pongpang damaged the original object, the fake one you saw can only bring back vague memories. If we could see the original, it would directly lead us to the location of the treasure."
"But in my dream, I was still just a child, and I drowned before I could grow up."
"I'm at a loss for words, you'll just have to figure it out yourself bit by bit."
"Can you tell where this painting is?" I asked.
Peng Peng and the coffin maker exchanged a smile, and at the same time pointed to the wall, I looked over and it was a map of our place. The place where I live is called Xingzhou, I don't know how big it is or how many people are there, but I just don't care. Carefully recalling that map I saw before, it seems to have some resemblance.
"After a long comparison of the map of China by me and Coffin, only our Xiangzhou is the most suitable place. Moreover, Coffin said that the old farmer who sold him the thing was also from our Xiangzhou. This is also the reason why I came back, such a big treasure in my own home can't be cheap for others."
After hearing them say that, I was also moved. At home, I was idle anyway, so why not give it a try? If there's treasure, that's the best; if not, then just consider it a trip.
"But who among us understands tomb raiding?" I asked. Suddenly, the three of us fell silent, all of us were ignorant about this profession. At first, we thought that as long as we found the map, we could find the treasure, but it turned out that the ancient people didn't have a scale or precision, they just roughly drew the direction, and without an expert to guide us, we couldn't even find the entrance.
"Brother-in-law, you've read a lot of books like this, shouldn't you understand something?"
"What nonsense! Even if it's true, where can we find that hair-growing, gold-touching person? We're just a bunch of inexperienced, disorganized people without any skills or background."
The dishes have cooled down a bit, but none of them are as cool as our hearts. We're all young people, and when we do things, we never think about the consequences, no planning, just doing what we want to do, in the end, it's all just empty joy.
"If there's no door, we'll find one; if there's no faction, we'll build one. As Mr. Lu Xun said: 'There were originally no grave robbers in the world; when many people robbed graves, then grave robbers emerged.' The coffin won't lose heart."
"Super, this phrase just came out of nowhere, but it's also true, anyway, there's no famous master anymore. Why don't we three people just create our own sect and use our ordinary methods to rob tombs? I think we should first come up with a name, it sounds more impressive that way. How about we call ourselves the 'No Gate Sect' since we have no gate or sect?" Pengpeng was still the most active one.
"You're too simplistic, lacking in depth. Why don't we call you a novice tomb raider instead?" said the coffin.
"Have you watched too many Japanese movies? Brother-in-law, it's your turn."
"I really can't stand your shallowness. Don't you care about what I just said? Let's just call ourselves the Ignorant and Audacious Party then."
