Wandering Gods of Day and Night

Chapter 278: Chapter 193 Fake God

Yun Ziliang began telling Zhou Xuan about what the “Living Person Rope” is.

“In the Feng Shui Dragon Seeking, there’s an occupation called dirt-reversing, which is essentially grave-robbing the wealthy.

Some graves aren’t large; usually, a tunnel is dug into the grave soil. One person stands above holding the rope, tying it to another person who is lowered into the main tomb chamber to retrieve treasures,

Once inside the tomb, the person would untie the rope and attach the treasure to it to be pulled out by people outside the tomb.”

Yun Ziliang put down his bowl and added, “However, this method has its downsides. If the person holding the rope outside the tunnel harbors ill intentions and wants to keep the treasure all for themselves, they might obtain the treasure and throw the rope back into the tunnel…

Sometimes, it might not just be for greed. Perhaps the person inside the tunnel got entangled with something unclean, and the person outside, afraid of attracting misfortune, would simply cut the rope.”

“Then the person descending into the tunnel is in great danger, reliant on someone unafraid of death and not greedy. Such a person is hard to find,”

Zhou Xuan remarked sarcastically.

“That’s why this dual-partner model slowly evolved into a father-son partnership, where the father stands at the tunnel entrance holding the rope while the son goes down to collect treasure; it can’t be reversed.”
