Chapter 91: Humans light candles, ghosts blow out lamps!

  "It's not a joke, the story I'm about to tell is more appropriately called supernatural. How about it, do you have the guts to listen?" Su Xichen asked with a provocative tone.

  "Cut it out, big brother! I'm not even afraid of Japanese and American horror movies, let alone the ghost stories you tell." Huang Sanqian was the first to comment, knowing that he had stayed up all night watching horror movies yesterday.

  "It's just in time that I'm feeling bored, and I believe the story you're going to tell with your writing skills, Xiaochen, should be very interesting." Li Xie also showed great interest.

  "Hurry up and don't drag it out, I'm already uncomfortable and adding boredom to it makes it even more unbearable." Qiu Yeming's voice was weak.

  Yu Qiyuan sat in the passenger seat and heard Su Shichen want to tell a story, but didn't show any expression. Rong Zhen was also like this, possibly because they were not interested in the story that Su Shichen was about to tell.

  "The story I want to tell is called 'Ghost Blows Out the Light'"

  "Alright, a name is very important. The name 'Ghost Blows Out the Light' evokes desire upon hearing it." Huang Sanqian suddenly shouted.

  "Three thousand, stop arguing and listen to Xiao Chen's words." Li Shu said.

  "In fact, San Qian Ge said it right, the name of a book is very important, and the story I want to tell has a very significant meaning in its name." Su Xichen wants to talk about the story called "Ghost Blows Out the Light", one of the two great classics of the grave-robbing genre, written by Tian Xia Ba Chang.

  "What does 'Ghost Blows the Lamp' mean?" Li Xie frowned.

  "What does it mean by 'the ghost blew out the lantern'? Is there any other implication?" Huang Sanqian was also puzzled.

  Su Shi didn't explain immediately, but instead continued to talk about "According to legend, the historical transmission of the four major tomb raiding schools has been passed down to this day - Mogin, Xie Ling, Fa Qiu and Banshan. Among them, Mogin is the school with the highest technical content and the most rules."

  "It is said that during the Three Kingdoms period, Wei Wang Cao Cao did not have military expenses, so he gathered a special army to collect military rations. The method of collecting military rations was to dig up the tombs of the royal nobles of the previous dynasty, and even the Han Dynasty's tombs were not spared. The head of this army was called Mo Jin Xiang Wei, and it is said that the Mo Jin Sect was passed down in this way. Cao Cao was the ancestor of the Mo Jin Sect." Su Shiyan spoke slowly.

  "Touching Jin School Lieutenant, Yu Dao you are more familiar with history, is there such an official position?" Huang Sanqian asked curiously.

  Yu Qiyuan didn't know when he also leaned his body back and was attracted by the story told by Su Shicen.

  "Cao Cao did indeed rob graves in history, but whether he touched the golden armor or not is unknown, you'd have to ask Vice Director Su."

  Huang Sanqian cast his gaze over and Su Xincheng explained, "The term 'Mo Jin Xiao Wei' indeed exists. In the Eastern Han dynasty, Chen Lin wrote an article called 'For Yuan Shao's Letter to Yu Zhou', which records: Cao specially set up Fa Qiu Zhong Lang Jiang, Mo Jin Xiao Wei, wherever he passed through, no one was left unexposed. According to this record, it is indeed true that such a thing existed."

  The protagonist of our story is a person from the Mokumon sect, and the Mokumon sect has an iron rule: people light candles, ghosts blow lanterns. The origin of this story's title also comes from this.

  "What does 'humans light candles and ghosts blow lamps' mean? Why light candles and why would there be ghosts blowing lamps?" Huang Sanqian asked.

  "The three words and two phrases of Su Release in the morning attracted everyone's attention. 'Human candle, ghost lantern' is an unspoken secret in the legend of the Mò Jīn school, which means that when entering an ancient tomb, first light a candle at the southeast corner, then open the coffin to touch gold. The most valuable things of the deceased are often carried on their body. Some royal tombs have jade in their mouths, golden jade on their bodies, and protective jade on their chests. They hold jade scepters in their hands, and even their **** is filled with precious stones. At this time, when taking action, one cannot damage the remains of the deceased. Gently and quietly, from head to toe, finally leaving one or two treasures for the deceased."

  "In the meantime, if the candle in the southeast corner goes out, you must put back the goods you have taken and kowtow three times with reverence before retreating along the original route."

  "Because legend has it that some tombs have ghosts in them, as for why these ghosts don't enter reincarnation and stay in the tomb for thousands of years, it's hard to say, the reasons are different, but it's very likely that they can't bear to part with their past glory and wealth, even after death, they still stare at their treasures every day. If you encounter this kind of master who is reluctant to give up his life or wealth, taking his things by force will definitely not end well. Therefore, it is said that humans light candles, ghosts blow out the lights, this is a rule set by our ancestors, passed down for thousands of years, and cannot be broken!"

  There is also a proverb as evidence: Fa Qiu Yin, Mo Jin Fu, Ban Shan Xie Ling Xun Long Jue;

  Humans light candles, ghosts blow lamps, geomancers invert the Big Dipper to search for Star Peak.

  Mercury spots, nourishing utensils, dragon building treasure hall gone countless times;

  Deep coffin, bronze outer coffin, eight characters are not hard, don't approach in front.

  Upright burial pits, coffin tombs, moving mountains and removing ridges to walk around;

  "Wearing red clothes is ominous, smiling face is a dead body, nothing is more terrifying than hearing a ghost cry."

  Su's voice was low and husky, which was intentional, as telling ghost stories required this kind of low and husky tone.

  "In fact, in the southeast corner of the lamp, if the light goes out, it's a certain scientific basis for quitting: the ancient tomb has been closed for thousands of years, without air circulation, which can prevent people from being poisoned by bad air." Yu Qiyuan suddenly said, "Director Su is indeed professional, just this opening story is so fascinating, if handled well, making a movie series out of it would be no problem at all." A director is always a director, when listening to stories or reading books, they always consider the filmability first.

  "Just casually mention it, and everyone will just listen to it casually." Su Shi continued, "The Mò Jīn school mainly relies on observing the wind and water, arguing about the weather, taking the I Ching as its doctrine, and determining the position of ancient tombs. Therefore, among the four tomb-raiding factions, it is said that this one has the highest technical content."

  "What about the other three tomb raiding schools? What are they relying on to raid tombs?" Huang Santian asked, getting more and more absorbed.

  Fa Qiu Pai is also known as Fa Qiu Tian Guan or Fa Qiu Zhong Lang Jiang. It is said that the ancestor of this school was a Taoist, whose secular surname was Liu, and he was short in stature. He had practiced the shrinking bone technique to perfection, making his body's muscles, bones, and joints soft like cotton, allowing him to stretch and move freely as he pleased. Because most Fa Qiu Tian Guan practitioners were short in stature, their shrinking bone technique for survival was exceptional. When stealing tombs, they would use a Luoyang shovel to dig a tunnel, the entrance of which was so small that even children found it hard to crawl through, but he could pass through like a mole, effortlessly and freely. This is the method of Fa Qiu Tian Guan.

  "As for the Mountain Moving Sect, it was called the predecessor of the Mountain Moving Taoist and had some connection with the Mao Shan Sect, but due to different ideologies, they mutually excluded each other. Because the sect was established later, it did not inherit many Feng Shui magic techniques, and completely disregarded traditional rules, so it was also excluded by other sects. The Mountain Moving Taoists do not like to cooperate with others, prefer to be alone, and have various self-made small manual weapons in their hands. Most of them disguise themselves as Taoist priests, and legend has it that the Mountain Moving Taoists have a technique called "Mountain Moving Split Armor", similar to the Mao Shan Taoist magic. The biggest difference between the Mountain Moving Sect and the Mó Jīn (Touching Gold) is that the Mountain Moving Taoists generally use trumpet-shaped tomb raiding, which is a means of external destruction, while the various schools of Mó Jīn emphasize technical links."

  "In the end, it's all about the Ridge Power Warriors. As the saying goes, among the 72 professions, tomb raiding is king, and Ridge Power Warriors are the strongest. Most Ridge Power Warriors are outlaws from the green woods, who dig up graves and steal valuables. However, they prefer to use human wave tactics, so even if there's a giant tomb, they dare to rob it. According to legend, the founder of the Ridge Power sect was taught by a mysterious person with superhuman strength, which is why most members of the sect are incredibly strong, earning them the name 'Power Warriors'. It's said that even Lü Bu, the greatest warrior of the Three Kingdoms era, was once a member of the Ridge Power sect and dug up many Han dynasty imperial tombs to prepare military rations for Dong Zhuo."

  "There are those who claim: Fachu has a seal, Mogin has a token, Banshan has an art, and Xieling has a suit. This is what they mean by the orthodox descendants of the four schools of grave robbery all having one thing as proof. Just like Fachu has a seal, that is to say, the Heavenly Official of Fachu has a Fachu Heavenly Seal, which is engraved with the words 'Heavenly Official Bestows Blessings' and 'No Taboos or Prohibitions'. It's an irreplaceable divine object, known as 'One Seal in Hand, Ghosts and Spirits All Avoid'."

  "Mokam has a token, and every Mokam person wears a protective amulet made of pangolin claws when working. The Mokam token is both a protective amulet and a symbol of identity."

  "As for the art of moving mountains, it refers to the secret techniques of filling the sea with mountains and digging through the earth, which are not passed down outside of the two schools of mountain-moving. The mention of 'unloading the ridge' is actually referring to the 'ridge-removing technique'. As Su Ruo Chen delved deeper, Rong Zhen was also drawn in, and to be honest, Tian Xia Ba Chang's 'Ghost Blows Out the Light' is really too realistic, so realistic that it makes one wonder if the original author Tian Xia Ba Chang wasn't actually a tomb raider."

  "Fa Qiu Tian Guan, Ban Shan Dao Shi, Mo Jin Xiao Wei, Xie Ling Li Shi... I didn't know that tomb raiders were divided into so many factions. It's too strong! Hurry up and tell the story!" Huang Sanqian urged.

  "The first story I want to tell is about a group of tomb raiders in Jingjue Ancient City. Before I start, let me give you some background information: Jingjue was a small city-state in the western part of China during the Western Han Dynasty. It was located on an oasis by the Niya River and mainly relied on agriculture. As it was an important stop along the Silk Road, merchants gathered there, making it a prosperous and wealthy place."

  "The Book of Han: Records of the Western Regions" has a record: Jingjue Kingdom, with its king governing Jingjue City, is 8,820 li away from Chang'an. It has 480 households and 3,360 people, with 500 soldiers. The "Records of the Western Regions During the Tang Dynasty" also mentions it. These evidences all prove that Jingjue Kingdom really existed. However, it was later annexed by the increasingly powerful Yutian Kingdom. Of course, this name is also unfamiliar to everyone. Around 77 BC, Yutian Kingdom was called Loulan. But after the 3rd century AD, Jingjue Kingdom mysteriously disappeared. It's as if it vanished overnight. There are many speculations about its disappearance, but none of them have been proven with certainty. The story takes place in this mysterious ancient city of Jingjue, which already makes one look forward to it.

  Su Yue begins to narrate the first volume of "Ghost Blows Out the Light", Jing Jue Ancient City.

  Huang Sanqian, Qiu Yeming and Li Lishu listened with relish, even Yu Qiuyuan and Rong Zhen also perked up their ears, not for anything else, because "Ghost Blows Out the Light" was really too wonderful.
