Actually, the beginnings of many stories are far older than we imagine. That box was never that famous at first, and it appeared without warning. At the end of the 1970s in New China, several old farmers were bent over, bracing the shovels that had sunk into the ground. Zhu Laosan took a few hard drags on the cigarette between his lips, the ember flashing and fading in an instant in the black mountain hollow. "Zhu Laosan, you fucking blind or what? We all grew up in this damn hollow, so how come out of…-

In a house on Longshan Road in Lăngling, Henan, I sat on a long bench and had already been waiting for more than an hour. The little half-cup of tea in my hand had been topped up again and again, and cooled again and again. For the thirty-second time, I checked my watch. If no one showed up in ten minutes, I was going to buy an afternoon train ticket and get the hell out of here. This private house had been left behind by my maternal grandfather before he died. It was swept clean, with a memorial tablet…-

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…-

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…-

I wasn’t sure why Tian Yuqing insisted on having the men from his own family and the Tan family go down first. From what I knew of him, he was shrewd, calculating, and obsessed with efficiency. He would never do anything pointless. There had to be a reason he wouldn’t let the archaeologists go down. As for whether he was after treasure, I couldn’t see through him. "Are you done arguing?" Before Wu Yili could answer, Lu Ayao’s voice came from inside the cave. He poked his head out of the low tunnel,…-

After a night’s rest, Tian Yuqing brought us to a small homestay. At night, everyone gathered around a big round table for dinner. Lu Ayao went to the main table, and He Yu and I had been hiding off to the side, happily picking at the dishes. Then Tian Yuqing sent someone to call us over to the main table too. I couldn’t really refuse, so I dragged my feet over there. The main table was in a private room. The moment I stepped through the door, I felt a strong, oppressive pressure, and then I saw Tian…-

Tian Yuqing opened the car door and tossed me a black backpack from Lao Gen’s hands. "Put the jade casket away. No matter where you go, you have to keep it with you. If you think the time on the road is too boring, you can also try cracking it to pass the time." I packed the jade casket away, slung the backpack over my shoulder, and got out of the car. He Yu was already standing in front of the second car waiting for me. He smiled and came over. "Buddy, I didn’t know you were this ruthless. How did it…-

I’m not someone who gets curious about everything. Being able to follow this team all the way here while knowing nothing was already my limit. What Tian Yuqing said was very absolute: if I learned everything from him, then I would definitely have to follow the team to the very end. On that point, his attitude was very firm. But leaving Fourth Brother behind and running off on my own, I absolutely couldn’t do that. My mom was a woman with a strong sense of ambition. As soon as her breastfeeding period…-
