In that era, there are two novels that must be mentioned when talking about tomb robbery.
One is "Ghost Blows Out the Light" written by Tianxia Bachang, and the other is "Grave Robbers' Chronicles" written by Sanshu of the Southern School.
The story Luoyang wants to tell is the story of "Ghost Blows Out the Light". Although this book was once surpassed by the later generation "The Tomb Raiders' Chronicles" in its previous life, its status as the founder of tomb robbers is unquestionable.
Of course, the story of "Ghost Blows Out the Light" is very long.
It is impossible for Luoyang to finish the story in one night, he just happened to be bored and shared it with everyone.
The story he shared was the first volume of the story in "Ghost Blows Out the Light" in his previous life, and its name was "Jingjue Ancient City".
Jingjue Ancient City can be roughly divided into two parts, front and back. The first half ends at the underground military fortress at the Black Wind Inlet of Yerengou. It is mainly a framework. The construction of the platform does not have any clues that have a clear relationship with the main line.
This half is meant to be written as a folk legend, a rural talk about the type.
In the second half, the archaeological team entered the desert to search for the ancient city of Jingjue, and began to touch on distinct geographical and cultural elements, including the Western Regions Desert, Peacock River, Shuangsheng Mountain, Thirty-Six Kingdoms, Loulan Female Corpse, and Dunhuang murals. When these elements were mentioned, a mysterious atmosphere came to the nose.
So in the second half of Jingjue Ancient City, the author takes mystery as the core of the story.
Even the Queen of Jingjue, which readers are thinking about, has never appeared, and is completely the rhythm of carrying the mystery to the end.
"Hu Guohua's ancestors were very rich, but when he was young, he had all the five poisons, including eating, drinking, gambling and smoking, especially because he was addicted to smoking.
If a person becomes addicted to smoking, he will be heart-wrenching and he will be unbearable. But who can't let you smoke without money? When he was rich in the past, the boss and the boss in the tobacco shop saw him as Mr. Hu, and he was very careful and thoughtful. But once you are penniless, they will treat you as a beggar and rush and drive him away, which is too much to drive him away."
When Luoyang talked about this, Dai Shanshan raised her hand and said, "I know, it is said that the big smoke used to rage the world!"
The history of the Dragon Kingdom is naturally different from its previous life, but coincidentally, there was a time when big smoke spread around the world, eroding the minds of many people, and finally arousing the anger of officials from various countries, banning addictive drugs such as big smoke.
"Shanshan, don't interrupt, let Luo Da continue to talk."
Mai Yingjie glared at Dai Shanshan and said, he was fascinated by the hearing.
The other crew members also looked at Dai Shanshan and were very dissatisfied with her interruption of Luoyang. After all, the people of Longguo knew about the history of big smoke, but tomb robbery made everyone particularly interested.
Luoyang was not unhappy because of Dai Shanshan's interruption. He nodded and continued to talk.
"At this time, Hu Guohua's old cigarette addiction was reborn again. He wanted to go to his uncle's uncle to cheat some money to buy big cigarettes, but his uncle knew the virtues of this nephew and was unwilling to lend money to Hu Guohua. Hu Guohua finally had an idea and lied to his uncle and said that he borrowed money to marry a wife..."
The beginning of the Ghost Blows the Light is narrated from Hu Bayi's perspective.
This Hu Guohua, who loves to smoke big cigarettes, is the uncle of the protagonist Hu Bayi.
Luoyang is telling stories, so he naturally cannot endorse all of them, so he summarized some plots in his own language.
"Hu Guohua has the most ideas. In order to deal with his uncle, he went home to find a paper-making man in the village, a craftsman who burned him to the dead. This paper-making master is very skillful and can do everything you can say.
He laid a paper woman with white paper paste on Hu Guohua as required.
He also used watercolor to draw eyebrows, eyes, nose, clothes and hair on the paper man. When he looked at him from a distance, hey, he was like a living person."
When I finished this passage, Luoyang clearly saw Mai Yingjie and others glaring slightly. He always felt that the air was inexplicably gloomy, but at the same time, his heart seemed to be scratching his claws, and he wished Luoyang could finish it in one breath.
So in the silence of the atmosphere, everyone stared at each other.
Obviously, we are all waiting for the following text. No one in Luoyang has been waiting for a long time, and continued:
"A few days later, my uncle bought a lot of things and came to see my nephew's wife. Hu Guohua refused and said that his wife was unwell and could not meet guests. He asked his uncle to open the curtains and put them down."
"Of course I'm very dissatisfied."
"In addition, Hu Guohua kept blocking him, the two started arguing. At this moment, the curtain of the inner room was lifted, and a woman appeared with a white and clean appearance, with a big face and a big butt and a small foot. Hu Guohua's heart skipped a beat. Oh, isn't this the paper man I'm looking for someone to mess with? How did it survive?"
When Luoyang said this, he suddenly stopped.
Dai Shanshan, who has always claimed to be a tomboy, shivered and whispered to her assistant: "Give me another piece of clothing, it's a bit cold."
Not only Dai Shanshan, but the other crew members also had a slightly pale face, and they squeezed tighter together, because the story was really a bit cunning, and it wasn't scary to say it was scary, but they always felt that it made people feel numb and uncomfortable all over.
After revising the "Ghost Blows Out the Light" in the previous life, this paragraph was deleted in order to cooperate with the publication.
What Luoyang is talking about is the uncut version of the Internet. This version is recognized as good in terms of atmosphere and is better than the castrated version.
Li Tianyin quietly wrapped her coat tightly, but her eyes were still staring at Luoyang with shiny eyes. While this story was intriguing, it was also surprisingly exciting. When telling Luoyang, it used some small stories and the effect was quite good.
"The woman gave a bow to her uncle and said that she was in poor health recently. She didn't come out to greet her. She would forgive her for being rude. Now she suddenly felt that she was getting better. Today she would leave her uncle at home for a meal. After that, she turned around and went in to cook.
Hu Guohua's uncle was so happy when he saw it!
This nephew's wife is so virtuous and has a good appearance that is good for her husband. My dead girl is aware of her. She must be happy to see her son marry such a good wife. When my uncle was happy, he gave Hu Guohua another ten dollars.
Hu Guohua stayed on the spot, feeling panicked, not knowing whether to be grateful or afraid.
Time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye it was night. The white paper man cooked a table of food. My uncle was so happy that he couldn't even close his mouth, but Hu Guohua was unwilling to eat and drink.
He looked at the woman sitting opposite him and felt disgusting as if he had eaten a fly. His scalp couldn't help but burst out with hair. The paper man's face was very white, with no blood at all, and the rosy on his face was smeared with rouge..."
The wind on the grassland was whistling, and the fire below the roasted lamb swayed.
The crew was holding the horse milk wine in a daze, and forgot about the action for a moment...
