The "grandfather" of the tomb robbing world never uses high technology when hunting for treasures, but he can find one accurately. What is his ability?
I have often heard of Feng Shui Cave, where mountains and rivers go endlessly. ——"Feng Shui Cave"
The explanation of Feng Shui in "The Book of Burial" is as follows: "It hides wind and gathers Qi, and gets water as the top priority, so it is called Feng Shui." The ancients would choose a Feng Shui location when choosing a cemetery. Treasure land, so that the ancestors can bless his descendants with better development, so Feng Shui masters also came into being. In ancient times, most Feng Shui masters found cemeteries for people or places to build houses for others. In modern times, some people choose to be Feng Shui masters. They also find cemeteries, but they are looking for ancient tombs just to steal them. Take the most valuable thing inside and live a rich life. These so-called Feng Shui masters in modern times can also be called tomb robbers. Most of the tomb robbers use modern advanced technology to find tombs. However, there is a person who claims to be the "grandfather" of the tomb robbing world. He never uses high technology to find treasures. But once you find one, what is his ability?
His name is Yao Yuzhong, and he comes from Chifeng City, Inner Mongolia. The reason why he embarked on a life of tomb robbing is because his family life is relatively poor. Yao Yuzhong was the third eldest child in his family. He had several brothers and sisters at home, and his parents couldn't take care of them. Even Yao Yuzhong dropped out of school after primary school. But just like Yao Yuzhong, who graduated from elementary school, his tomb robbing skills are really prohibitive and brilliant. Yao Yuzhong even said that he was the number one master outside the country and that no one could match him. However, his family members were dismissive of Yao Yuzhong's statement.
Speaking of Yao Yuzhong, although his family is relatively poor. But he is the smartest child in the family. It is understood that Yao Yuzhong's family did not inherit the skills of Feng Shui, but weaving bamboo baskets. At the beginning, Yao Yuzhong also learned the basket weaving technique inherited from his family, and he was also the one who learned it best. However, Yao Yuzhong felt that he could not make a lot of money just by weaving bamboo baskets. So, he gave up this ancestral craft. What did he do after that?
Yao Yuzhong’s hometown is very close to the Hongshan culture. This seems to have had the most significant impact on Yao Yuzhong. After he got married, he seemed to have changed from his previous poverty-stricken appearance and instead wore a Chinese tunic suit. The glasses make him look like a completely educated person. After this change, Yao Yuzhong always brought home some books about Feng Shui and spent a lot of time reading these books every day. However, Yao Yuzhong did not just read books. He even knew how practice can lead to true knowledge. Therefore, after studying for a period of time, he would visit nearby museums and the surrounding mountains, as if to test himself. level has increased. It was also because of this continuous study and study that he finally developed an excellent ability to find graves. He could basically find the cemetery accurately. It would take others a long time to study, but he only needed simple tools and a flashlight to do it. . Because of his ability, he has almost become a legend in the tomb robbing world.
However, because Yao Yuzhong used these powerful skills in tomb robbing and selling cultural relics, his life span was greatly shortened. In 2015, Yao Yuzhong was arrested by the police on charges of tomb robbing. Yao Yuzhong was still very arrogant when he was arrested. He provoked the archaeologists, saying that all of them together may not be as good as him alone. This really puts archaeologists to shame. Yao Yuzhong is indeed very good at finding tombs. However, if such powerful technology is used to help the country break through archaeology, it may not be a job that can make a living. It's a pity that Yao Yuzhong was too greedy. Because he lived a poor life, he was eager to live a wealthy life, which also led him astray.
After Yao Yuzhong was arrested, his brother Yao Yumin said that since his brother had committed a heinous crime, let him pay the due price for his mistakes. As for Yao Yuzhong's mother, they were afraid that something might happen if the old man was too fierce, so they did not take her to see him in prison. As for Yao Yuzhong's wife, they left their original home with their children and went to live in Chifeng City. Perhaps it was also because of Yao Yuzhong's relationship. They really didn't want to hear other people talking about Yao Yuzhong all the time, so it would be cleaner to change places. "There is no end to the sea of suffering, but turning back is the end." If Yao Yuzhong had known how to rein in his horse from the brink, perhaps he would not have had such a result, and perhaps he could have had a different life.
