These tomb robbers have a certain understanding of cultural relics, but their understanding is not too deep.
There are so many things, so many types, and they are so complicated. How is it possible to understand them all?
It would take them a long time just to study the knowledge about tomb robbing.
These people steal things and then search based on the stolen things to determine their value.
Of course, these are just rough estimates. The information they can find is limited, and the prices may not be accurate.
Although they cannot be 100% sure, these people do have a psychological price, and they will sell it as long as the price is similar to this price.
These people do not act alone. They are divided into groups of people, with different people responsible for different tasks.
Some people are responsible for guarding the gate, some are responsible for digging the soil, and some are responsible for digging graves. These people have clear division of labor.
Different people do different things, and each of them is good at something.
This is because there are too many things to solve by one person. Just finding the tomb is a very difficult task.
Only those who have learned a lot can find the exact position.
If you don't understand, even if you find the tomb, you won't be able to find the location of the tomb passage and you won't be able to go down into the tomb at all.
Only by finding the accurate location of the tomb can we dig a hole into the tomb and find the coffin.
The good things are all inside the coffin, and the things here are the most valuable.
Although the things outside the coffin are valuable, there is still a big gap compared to what is inside.
What tomb robbers target is the things in the coffin.
If the coffin is not found, it means that this operation has failed.
This is not something that can be found by just anyone. The person required is very professional. If the person's level is not up to par, their efforts will be wasted.
What these people did was not a good thing.
You will be despised by many people. If you dig up other people's ancestral graves, you will be beaten to death if you are caught.
Especially those who pay attention to Feng Shui are very taboo about such things.
You dug up someone's ancestors, which destroyed their feng shui and affected the fate of the entire family.
But they were very angry and decided to be beaten to death when they were caught.
If you do too many immoral things like this, something bad will definitely happen.
People without ability cannot do this job.
To do this job, first of all, you have to be strong.
There are many mechanisms inside these large tombs, and if you are not careful, you may lose your life.
There are all kinds of mechanisms in here, and no one wants his tomb to be dug up by others.
The profession of tomb robbing has existed for a long time.
They were all afraid that their tombs would face the same fate, so they took this issue into consideration when building the tombs.
Many measures were also developed to prevent tomb robbery. At that time, no one could rob tombs.
However, these people would never have imagined that in the future, there would be something called gunpowder.
Those huge stone doors were directly blown open by gunpowder.
This is something they would never have thought of.
In order to prevent the tomb passage from leaking, some craftsmen were also sealed inside the tomb passage.
The ancients did a lot to prevent tomb robbery.
These people, who lived in that era, still believed very much in reincarnation and attached great importance to their own corpses.
They don't want their bodies to be destroyed, as it would have a bad impact on them.
Building a tomb is not an easy task. Some large tombs take decades to build.
This is a huge project that cannot be built by ordinary people. It has certain specifications.
The higher the status of a person, the higher the specifications of the tomb and the more burial objects contained in it.
It takes fifty or sixty years to build these tombs.
While they were still alive, they would arrange for someone to build their tomb.
They all attach great importance to this matter. It is also a confidential matter. Not many people know about it and it is built in secret.
The fewer people know, the safer they are.
If they could live longer, they could use it directly when they died.
If it is not completed, we will have to wait until it is built before we can bury it. This wait may take many years.
Anyone with a high status will be able to arrange this matter.
They don't want to die without knowing when their bodies will be buried.
If something happens later, it is unknown whether their bodies can be buried.
This matter is more important than when you are alive. When you are alive, it is only a few decades at most, and when you are dead, it is at most thousands of years. You must find a Feng Shui treasure land for yourself.
This way you can find a good place for yourself to rest and live comfortably.
The most important thing is not to be disturbed by others.
This is the case for the rich people; those who don’t have money don’t do this.
Just find a straw mat, roll it up, and throw it somewhere.
All the bones have weathered away, and there is nothing left.
The bigger the tomb, the more people care about it.
These Buddhist monks and tomb robbers have similar professions and there is a lot of communication between the two groups.
They all have some overlap.
Some people do such things, and some specifically target these people.
These people are all rich people. They can eat for several years after their next tomb visit.
They are all rich people, and you can make a lot of money by targeting them. Even if their money is stolen, they can't do anything about it.
The source of their money is problematic, and they dare not speak out when something goes wrong.
They can only blame themselves for their bad luck.
Moreover, these people have a smell of death on their bodies. This smell is acquired from their long-term underground activities and can never be washed off.
Ordinary people cannot sense it, but for these Buddhas, this smell is particularly familiar.
They deal with it often and know what it smells like.
If you keep an eye on such people and find out their lair, you can steal their things.
The next time tomb robbers go to a tomb, they will take out a lot of things. They will not sell all the things at once.
If so many things are sold at once, the target will be too big and it will be easy to be targeted by others, so they sell them in batches.
Only after one batch is sold will they consider the next batch.
This is safer and the target is smaller.
More importantly, no one has so much money to buy everything at once.
