Chapter 37: Luoyang Shovel becomes universal! Popularizing smelling soil to identify tombs!

But before it was Zhang Zhang Qilin's turn to go to Old Changsha City to investigate Hei Bei Lao Liu.

A piece of heavy news entered the public eye.

Hei Bei Lao Liu's grave had been robbed!

Not only were several grave robber holes dug, but even the corpse had disappeared!

This was truly a highly dramatic and ironic scene.

Hei Bei Lao Liu's first half of life was a blade-wielder on the banks of the Jinshajiang.

The second half of his life was a tomb raider.

In the end, after he died, his own grave was robbed!

Because of Zhang Lin's storytelling, Hei Bei Lao Liu's reputation spread across the internet.

The fact that his grave was robbed and his remains were missing immediately caused an official shock.

Many people left messages online, demanding that the authorities clarify the disappearance of Hei Bei Lao Liu's remains as soon as possible.

At the same time, everyone was very puzzled. Hei Bei Lao Liu had been dead for decades.

When he died, he had almost no burial goods.

Because all the money he earned from tomb raiding was squandered on opium.

The price of opium in those years was not much different from gold!

There couldn't be anything valuable in Hei Bei Lao Liu's grave.

And looking at the technique of the tomb-raiding holes, it didn't look like intentional revenge.

Otherwise, Hei Bei Lao Liu's grave would be a mess, not looking normal on the surface like it did now.

So what was the purpose of these people moving his grave?

Netizens couldn't figure it out, but Zhang Lin, seeing this news, smiled in his heart.

Hei Bei Lao Liu probably didn't expect that even after being dead for so many years, someone would still dig up his past. ===== CHAPTER 77 =====

Most importantly, it was all things he least wanted the world to know.

Now not only did the whole world know, but a group of people, out of admiration for him, had found his grave and wanted to sweep it for him.

Zhang Lin estimated that someone would come looking for him soon.

The current Old Nine Gates people, like Old Lady Huo and Zhang Yueshan, were just coming to listen to the excitement.

But gradually, this group would discover that what Zhang Lin was telling was not just a documentary of the Old Nine Gates figures.

There were also some secrets the Old Nine Gates didn't want people to know, which Zhang Lin would also tell one after another.

By then, this group would probably be truly surprised.

Why would a storyteller know so many secret rumors?

The things the Old Nine Gates did behind the world's back were not as simple as just tomb raiding.

A group of people from the Eight Outer Gates and Nine Lowly Trades in the underworld dared to participate in earth-shattering events.

I don't know if I should say this group was ignorant and fearless, or if the older generation of the Old Nine Gates was too greedy?

……

When Zhang Lin started talking about the Yama Chen Pi A-Si of the Flat Three Gates the next day, the archaeological team had already determined the location of the ancient tomb and started using the shovel.

As soon as Zhang Lin got on stage, someone below started making a scene.

Zhang Lin listened for a long time; it turned out that when the archaeological team was digging, they were using a Luoyang Shovel!

This was a very rare thing.

The things used by tomb-raiding families had never been revealed before.

First, it was a technical monopoly; second, those who did tomb raiding in the past were somewhat disreputable.

So they wouldn't go around publicizing their own tools of the trade.

Now the archaeological team was using the Luoyang Shovel, naturally because they heard it from Zhang Lin's storytelling.

"Mr. Zhang, you don't know, when the archaeological team took out the Luoyang Shovel, I was stunned!"

"To be honest, this is also the first time I've seen a real Luoyang Shovel."

"This thing is a genius design, connected section by section, it can bring up the soil from the deepest depths."

"Until I saw the archaeological team using the Luoyang Shovel, I didn't know how the Wu family's grandfather used his nose to smell the soil; they were smelling the soil from the depths of the ancient tomb! Give me a Luoyang Shovel, and I can find an ancient tomb too."

"Stop it! The Wu family's grandfather smelling soil to identify ancient tombs is a skill; do you think anyone can do it? Then tell me, what's the difference between the soil in an ancient tomb and ordinary soil?"

Everyone was discussing every move of the archaeological team.

This also included smelling the soil brought up by the Luoyang Shovel.

However, of course, no one in the archaeological team had the skill to smell soil.

The one who finally helped the archaeological team determine the ancient tomb was that Heavenly Master Zhang.

Hearing signs of an argument below, Zhang Lin quickly started to control the scene.

"Everyone, no need to get anxious!"

"Actually, the friend who spoke just now was right. If you all go out tomb raiding or archaeological digging and bring a Luoyang Shovel, you can also identify ancient tombs by smelling the soil."

"This, you all might not know, but I can tell you all about it."

Old Lady Huo, listening on the second floor, frowned when she heard Zhang Lin was going to perform a trick.

"Hmph, he's generous! How many years of experience did our Old Nine Gates accumulate in tomb raiding?"

"He, on the other hand, just tells others for free!"

The Upper Three Gates basically didn't go down, and the New Moon Hotel was only responsible for selling goods, so Zhang Yueshan and Yin Yin Nanfeng didn't have much of a reaction.

At this time, the audience below, hearing that Zhang Lin was going to teach the secret of smelling soil.

They were all shouting with excitement!

This was the secret of tomb-raiding families and talented people.

Buying a ticket to hear storytelling today and getting to hear this, that's a huge profit!

"Actually, this smelling soil to identify tombs has no special requirements."

"You all just need to remember one trick."

"The word 'smell' is not very accurate; it should be smelling with the nose plus looking with the eyes."

"Any ancient tomb's soil is absolutely different from ordinary soil."

"In the eyes of tomb-raiding families, soil is subdivided into many types: dead soil, floating soil, fluttering soil, silt soil, clear soil, oily soil, and so on."

"If you want to understand the differences between these soils, you definitely can't do it without decades of experience."

"So, I will roughly distinguish these many types of soil for you all; actually, there are only two."

"Divided into dead soil and living soil. Dead soil is soil that hasn't been moved for years and has no artificial traces."

"This kind of soil naturally means there is no ancient tomb nearby."

"And living soil is soil that has been moved by humans; the time it was formed is less than ten thousand years."

"Among this living soil, there is one type that should most attract your attention, and that is flower soil—simply put, it's colored soil."

"For example, rotting coffins will cause the soil to turn black, and copper and iron oxidation will make the soil turn black or green."

"If the Luoyang Shovel brings up such soil, then it is very likely you have found the right place."

"Of course, such soil has a special smell, which is generally related to the reason for its formation."

"Rotten stench, rust smell, are all smells they might have."

"Among them, the most dangerous one, you have already heard of, and that is the red soil brought out by the Blood Corpse Tomb in Biaozi Ridge, Old Changsha."

"That kind of soil not only has a heavy bloody smell but also drips red liquid."

"If the Luoyang Shovel brings up this kind of soil, you all better run away!"

Hearing this, the audience below felt their faces heat up with excitement.

Some couldn't wait to go into the wild and practice it!

Just at this moment, a viewer watching the archaeological team's live broadcast suddenly shouted.

"Mr. Zhang, the archaeological team's shovel brought up red soil, and it's dripping blood!"
