This woman had such an overwhelming presence it was frankly terrifying. Once she took her seat, the thug Tan on the other side didn’t dare keep cursing, but he was too foul-mouthed to stay quiet for long, and soon started speaking in a mean, mocking tone again: "Hey, Yujingzi, you’d better be careful. Sure, Zhongyuan Yinggantang is a nice place, but who knows whether Chen Si even feels like having a candlelit talk with you."] There was something underneath those words. I understood what he meant, but…-

In general, anything that was locked up belonged to the precious sort. At the time, I had several basic theories, and I’m writing them down here to help with understanding later. The first possibility was that the owner of the jade box simply didn’t want anyone opening it a hundred years later, which was why he made these nine silver rings as the lock. The Nine-Ring Lock was jammed fast at both ends inside the box, forming a dead loop. But there was one obvious problem with that idea. If this thing was…-

I’m a low-key person. Even if Fourth Brother hadn’t warned me, I would have naturally kept my mouth shut. In the outside trade, the thing most in short supply is a master who truly understands mechanisms. Even someone who only knows a little gets called in to work all the time, let alone someone like me, who has been learning for more than ten years. Whether it was Grandpa or Fourth Brother, they were completely aligned on the question of whether I should enter the trade. I was too prone to simplifying…-

After Tan Qiu left, Fourth Brother sent me off with fifty yuan as well. I had the money in my pocket, of course I was happy about it, so I hurried over to the little stall at the crossroads for a bowl of liangfen, then went to the supermarket and bought a few toothbrushes. On my way back from the supermarket, I saw the whole production street lined with mobile stalls selling New Year prints and Spring Festival couplets. Henan probably lacked nothing less than people. The county was always like this every…-

Fourth Brother wasn’t here. I locked the room door from the inside, flopped onto the bed, and began going over everything that had happened today, especially that nine-ring jade box. In fact, when Tian Yuqing asked me to look at it a second time, I really did notice some things I had missed the first time. A thin layer of pigment had been painted on the right side of the box, but I hadn’t paid it any attention during my first look, so I guessed it must be some special kind of paint that only showed up…-

I had thought Tian Yuqing would arrange for me to ride in the same car as him, but I never expected him to put me in the second car and get into the first one himself. I squinted and stole a glance into the first car, only to find an old man sitting in the back row, his beard already white with age. I found that odd. Why was there an elderly man in the group? He was already so old, and yet he still had to endure such a bumpy trip. That seemed pretty inhumane. I had no idea what kind of rule this was. Not…-

We didn’t have a family genealogy. As for the origin of the craft on my grandfather’s side of the family, all I knew came from oral tradition passed down from my grandfather and his ancestors. My grandfather’s forebears had once been an incomparably huge clan. From the way he described it, at its most prosperous, the family even rivaled the Ningguo Mansion in *Dream of the Red Chamber*. The years of those old events can no longer be verified now. Besides, what they were doing back then seemed to be…-

I thought to myself that I had always been an honest, proper sort of person. In all these years of living, I never seemed to have offended anyone. So how had so many big shots suddenly turned up here, each one seeming itchy unless they made a fool of me? A ghost wall was not something I’d willingly run into. How was I supposed to know that if you went there would be no problem, but if I went, another road would just appear? Tian Yuqing finally took his gaze off me. He pushed Tian Xiao slowly to the…-

Back in the car, the chill that had seeped into me seemed to be swept away at once by the air-conditioning and heater. He Yu had already been woken up by our noise, but he clearly didn’t have any grumpiness after being disturbed. Instead, he stared curiously at Lu Ayao, who had just gotten into the car. Tian Yuqing had said he was going to ask for help, but in the end he had only brought Lu Ayao. After we got in, the convoy turned around and got back on the highway, and my mood was pretty complicated.…-

This sort of mnemonic chant was never originally meant to teach people how to find dragon veins or explore ancient tombs, but in the past, many low-rent tomb robbers really took it at face value. But how could something so profound that some people spend their whole lives and still never even find the door be compressed into just one little chant? The chant’s original purpose was actually to introduce each of the Five Masters’ specialties, so that when people ran into big problems with house-reading…-
