Chapter 42: The Road to No Return (Part 1)

But Yang Erdan was about to go there. After repeated questioning from Lao Sheepsie, he learned from him that there were tomb robbers who had torch robbers who were active in the Daxinganling area. They were a scattered thieves who were brave and evil, and dared to dig anything. But they didn't know how to find unmarked ancient tombs. Yang Erdan was more sensible than Lao Sheepsie and learned more skills.

After being introduced by people, he had evil thoughts and wanted to get into Nierhui. At that time, the "Nierhui" needed people like Yang Erdan, whether it was women or money, as much as possible, the most important thing was to let him take the first place to hold a gold seat and deliberately welcome him. Yang Erdan used to look at other people's faces. He lived a low life for so many years. Perhaps it was because he had too many years of living in the low-level society, so he himself didn't even have the courage to make a world of things. After being frightened by the people of "Nierhui", he couldn't even find the North. Seeing such a good thing, he went to the Northeast to make a "big cabinet" of Nierhui.

Yang Erdan was so obsessed with greed that he went to the mountains of the northeast to become a big cabinet for the tomb-robbers "Ni'er Club". The only brother of the old Sheepsie was respectful to him more than his own life. Seeing that Yang Erdan had decided to leave, there was no other way, so he had to follow him to the three eastern provinces and become the "understanding of the bureau" of the Ni'er Club. This profession is probably equivalent to a modern technical consultant.

Although Lao Yamao and Yang Erdan are two relatives, their personalities are completely different. Yang Erdan is more ambitious, while Lao Yamao is timid and afraid of things and just wants to live a peaceful life. Not only that, Lao Yamao also respects ghosts and fears gods, and has deep-rooted superstitions. However, as the saying goes, "I am afraid of ghosts but not to rob tombs, and I am not afraid of ghosts." With his personality, he is really not suitable for "fighting" and "violent" business.

The so-called "violent sect" refers to the act of tomb robbers who are usually covered up. Tomb robbers get various valuable burial objects in ancient tombs and desolate tombs, and they need to trade and find a purchase price. The communication methods in the old society are relatively backward and the pace of life is slow. In order to facilitate contact with buyers and expand their business scope, they have to use the "two guises" in the underworld. Any tomb robbers do business, but do not open antique shops, but specialize in various funeral supplies, such as paper horses burned to the dead, including paper people, paper horses, paper cows, paper houses, paper sedan chairs, etc. Anyway, they are all things that can be used in the underworld.

Ordinary funeral shops are different from them, called "bad stock". The kind of shops opened by tomb robbers are different from ordinary paper-tied shops. In the past, there were guises on the shops that used to do business and were hung in front of the door, so that people could tell at a glance what kind of products the shop was doing. When tomb robbers opened paper-tied shops, they would have to hang a string of white paper money on the cover. There were 72 paper money in total, which became a number of evil evils. There were all embossed bad patterns on the paper money. A serious businessman, even if the shop sells paper horse scent, would never hang such unlucky paper money on the cover. Anyone who hangs seventy pieces and one string of paper money, is called "bad stock" by those who know the business. Even if they were not opened by tomb robbers, they were at least used as places to sell stolen money for tomb robbers.

The craftsmen who "fight" always do their jobs and sweep their holes. As the saying goes, "A thief comes like shaving." Everything in the tomb is wiped out, and even the things in the dead man's feces are not spared. Those valuable artifacts are very easy to take action. Some small things, or some artifacts, are not found suitable buyers, and they are all classified as "evil". Every now and then, some businessmen who buy antiques come to buy them. When they negotiate, they have a slander and secret exchange. The paper horse scented stew that is openly operated in the store is completely false, but for most people who do not understand these tricks, they cannot see it at all.

The thief named Chen opened several "violent artifacts" in Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces, and reselled Minghua in private. Lao Sheepsie made a cabinet for him, but she was almost scared to the point of falling into trouble. The Minghua in the ancient tomb was dark and foul, and the stench was hard to remove. Moreover, some of the strange things often happened on some of the Minghuasie. Lao Sheepsie was not the material for this business at all. Later, she followed her accomplices to rob the tomb and dig the tombs, and encountered many terrible experiences, which were not something that his psychology could bear.

After the whereabouts of the thief named Chen were unknown, Lao Yamai planned to use the savings he had saved in the past two years to go to the countryside to spend a few days of being obedient. He hung up the black tiger talisman and washed his hands thoroughly, and stayed away from the industry where he dealt with dead people all day long. However, things went against his wishes. In order to take care of his brother Yang Erdan, he had to follow him to become a bandit in the Northeast again.

"Ni'er Club" won over the old Sheepskin brothers and asked Yang Erdan to make a big cabinet. It was not out of sincerity, but to use them as guns. The one who really had the final say in the "Ni'er Club" was the "Mr. Tongsu" in the clue. This man had worked as a teacher before, digging mud in the river, and also a fortune teller who ran around the world. He has been in the past for more years. He is knowledgeable, sinister and cunning, and cruel. As long as it is for money, there is nothing he dared to do, the bandits under his command are not only robbing tombs, and have done a lot of other despicable things, which can be regarded as a full of evil deeds.

Mr. Tongsuan and Yang Erdan, with bandits from "Mi'er Club" who were digging ancient tombs in the deep mountains and forests, digging holes where there might be ancient tombs in the mountains, and then sold the artifacts in the tombs, and exchanged them for money and opium, and squandered them. As long as the buyer paid a high price, even if it was sold to a Japanese businessman and was accused of being a traitor, he would not care at all. If the person in the trap had a slight objection, he would be plotted against by Mr. Tongsuan to lose his life.

The old Sheepskin saw it, and if he continued to tossing with the "Milk Club", he would definitely not have a good ending. He hit the wall with his head and tried to persuade Yang Erdan to turn around. However, Yang Erdan was obsessed with it and did not take this matter seriously at all. He was determined to go all the way to the dark, become a bandit, eat a lot of people, drink a lot of spicy food, kill men, play with women, smoke smoke a lot of money, and if God is Wang Da, the bandit is Wang Er, it is no better than being a kind-hearted and cowardly good person. If a person goes to the world, he will be considered a solid and reliable person. If he lives in the world, how can he live a lifetime of his life be considered sufficient.
