Chapter 1
It was bustling in the streets of Beijing, this the pre republic era everything was new, there was a mixture of the ancient and modern. Outside the newspaper agency famous at this time called Qixin News, a man wearing a long brown coat with black pants and white shirts was standing there smoking, if you look closely you would see the impatience all over his face, Song Chi knows as Golden hands is a grave robber coming from the family of grave robbers who robbed the rich to feed the poor during ancient times, ever since he received a message from his friend telling him about a torn map for a tomb, anxiety and ecstasy been over him.
He cannot wait to see what goods did his friend come across, just the thought of finding it makes him happy, just when he was about to reach madness because of waiting, Qi Ying came smiling like an old fox just looking at his sword like eye lashes with protruding jaw you would see how cunning he is, this is like a wolf acting like a pig to eat a rabbit, that him being known as the deceiver. "Old Song, Yhuwe I can smell your impatience from miles away, my good brother don't worry I have good stuff here", talking as if he was handling drugs. ''Old Qi, you will never change looking at the time you will never be able to grasp it", ''Aigooo, let cross the street so we will study what I came with".
What I haven't told you yet, is that the two of them are part of the organization called "Tomb Movers", which robs the tombs of nobles and sell the antiques they find or collect them while feeding the poor, what you don't know is that they are elders of Xixhuan school known for their mechanism and traps, Song Chi being the current chief, Qi Ying the first elder, Mo Xu Chi's only disciple, Mao Mao the second elder and Ning Yi the third elder. Their fame is known throughout rivers and hills, most people respect them for their deeds to provide for the poor.
After sitting down in the restaurant Old Qi, took out papers from his bag you could see that they've been put away nicely he opened them when Old Song saw the content he was shocked and excited, ''I told you it good stuff to think that I found it in that down town market is shocking, what I've seen this is about General Tang Xi of Tang Dynasty also known as the third prince, that the only thing I could read on this book, what did you get?", he asked while anticipating more surprises this is not for greed nor fame but the adventure they get to do while helping people, also learning through these tombs is something amazing.
''Old Qi, this tomb is the most mysterious one I've ever heard about Old Yang once told me that there was a prince who was ruthless and known for his killing during Tang era who killed enemies left , right and centre to a point that even demons and ghosts were afraid of him, it was said that his tomb consist of almost all his riches during his life and also the most vicious mechanisms you could come across, if this is a real map than we have hit the jackpot but also woke a devil", Song Chi said this while thinking about how they will act on this tomb if it real.
Qi Ying was getting goose bumps just thinking about this general after seeing what they've been through during their tomb raiding, anything is possible, "Let ask Old Ning to get the authentic of this map if it is true we will learn it and plan on how to embark on this. He couldn't stop thinking about the zombies they came across during the time they went to Zhou Fan's tomb, that tomb was too quiet for it own good, when they reached the entrance they found that the mechanism was full of the well known trap during Western Zhou Dynasty "99 wins one", this one of the profound mechanisms consisting of 33 weapons, 33 poisons and 33 bugs you could say it also the most painful method to die with since you only take your last breath during the 99 part if you are an healthy individual.
When they realized this they couldn't help feeling like they just came to a tigers den and offered themselves as food. For dealing with this mechanism it needs the opposite or the enemy of what they used but they didn't know what bugs were used, weapons and poison. That when they decided to find another way of getting in, when they were checking they realized the ground was hollow meaning underneath there was an open space but is it safe? that was an unanswered question since the sand just swallowed them.
When they reached the ground they found they were on top of a lake which had piranhas, the ground they were standing in was getting smaller as they moved and the piranhas were getting more aggressive that when they realized they were in one of the most ruthless tombs, thinking back it seems like that one was nothing if this tomb has that prince it can't be anything good.
After eating they went out to their place so they could hold a meeting with their brothers, when the others saw the map especially Ning Yi, she was shaking as if she saw something dreadful, "I never thought in my lifetime I'll get to see this tomb, it real! real! real! If I look at the text at the back of the map it seems like a warning not to think about entering this tomb", when they had this they got the premontion that this tomb was anything good.
"Old Song what are we going to do? I feel like going to this tomb is asking for death, I think we should forget and sell this map", Qi Ying felt this was not worth it, during this times of distress looking for death after warning is simply foolish but raising his head looking at his senior brother and junior sister he felt that the decision has already been made to go but this feels like going to a place where all your fears are in. He shuddered just thinking about it.
