He's alone, but he's a tomb raider!

???

"Brother Yun, what do you mean by that?"

Qin Yun: "She is the same as 'she'. The ancient book Guangya records that 'ku' means 'she'. 'She' is a colloquial pronunciation of 'ku' and is the same as 'she'. Therefore, 'she' can refer to a warehouse."

The character 哑 (mute) is composed of 口 (mouth) and 亚 (subtle).

The original meaning of "亚" is the inner palace of the palace.

Therefore, "Ya She" can be understood as the emperor's private treasury, implying that "treasures can only make a sound within the palace!"

An ordinary shop dares to challenge the Imperial Treasury. How come such a prestigious name sounds so different in your mouth?

Qin Yun's tone was calm, yet it carried an undeniable certainty. Liu Yanyan was taken aback and couldn't respond for a moment.

She had initially thought it was just a tacky shop name, but she hadn't expected there to be such a story behind it, and her initial disdain for it inexplicably faded a bit.

Or perhaps, Liu Yanyan, who had been busy learning the secret techniques of corpse driving since childhood and had fallen behind in her academic studies, was indeed somewhat lacking in this area.

Seeing her look of realization mixed with disbelief, Qin Yun continued.

"As for the remote location, that was intentional."

"In Tianjin, every inch of land is precious. The shops along the street look lively, but the people coming and going are just ordinary people who want to watch the excitement, find bargains, or join in the fun."

But my shop wasn't opened for passersby to casually browse!

"The items displayed on the first floor are all ordinary antiques that can be put in the open, used to deceive people and deal with ordinary visitors."

Although they are all genuine antiques passed down through generations, even the most valuable ones are only worth a maximum of 100,000 yuan on the market.

The real masterpieces, the most important artifacts, and the funerary objects unearthed by tomb raiders are never displayed here.

Qin Yun looked up and gazed out the window.

"There is another private villa in Tianjin, where all the most treasured items are stored in a secret underground room."

Insiders conduct business here, and only after paying the money can they go over there to pick up their items.

In this way, even if the transaction is discovered, it won't be a big problem.

"In our line of work, we seek wealth, but even more so, we seek to collect treasures."

Being too ostentatious will only bring unnecessary trouble.

The location is a bit off-center, so that irrelevant people can be filtered out and only the real insiders can come.

Remember, tranquility and safety are the keys to long-term well-being!

Liu Yanyan was completely stunned.

Your words have truly transformed my worldview!

She had initially thought the shop was remote and strange, with an odd name, but now she realized that Qin Yun had never intended to do ordinary business from the beginning.

"This isn't just an ordinary antique shop; it's clearly our gang's hideout!"

"How can you talk like that? Calling this our team's base is not rigorous at all."

Forget it, there's no point in talking to you about this.

Starting today, you'll be living in the second bedroom upstairs. Your daily tasks will be cleaning and such, and you generally won't have much business coming in.

In our line of work, the motto is "three years without business, then three years of feasting when we do!"

But be careful, very careful, don't be clumsy!

"I understand, Brother Yun. I have a steady hand, I can definitely handle this."

Such a salary is earned simply by cleaning.

These days, everyone says the economic climate is bad and it's hard to find a job, but in Liu Yanyan's opinion, it doesn't seem to matter much!

……

After settling Liu Yanyan in, Qin Yun said no more and turned to walk up the wooden escalator to the second floor.

The master bedroom on the second floor is furnished very simply, except for a high-end computer which is used to relax.

Hidden in the innermost wall is a secret door that blends seamlessly with the wall itself.

Key, pupil, fingerprint!

After passing all three security certifications, the heavy alloy safe slowly popped open without any mechanical noise.

The Qin family has been tomb raiding for four generations, accumulating at least eight hundred to a thousand antique treasures.

The Qin family's tomb-raiding lineage rose to prominence from the late Qing Dynasty to the early Republic of China. By Qin Yun's generation, five generations had passed, so such wealth is not surprising. In fact, if they hadn't donated the majority of their wealth to the war effort against Japan, the amount would have been even more staggering!

The first ancestor, Qin Xiaotian.

Born at the end of the Guangxu era, during the chaotic period of warlord conflicts, he was originally the leader of a small warlord faction in Yunnan, with about a thousand men under his command, possessing both guns and territory.

He also mastered the ancestral art of finding auspicious burial sites and amassed his first fortune by excavating desolate tombs and royal mausoleums from chaotic times and previous dynasties.

In 1937, the Japanese invaded China and coerced Qin Xiaotian into cooperating. When he refused, he was assassinated by Hiroshi.

Second and third generation ancestors.

Born in a time of national crisis, without the power of warlords, all that remained was the art of tomb raiding.

They took over the burden from their ancestors, making money and collecting supplies by tomb raiding, secretly supporting the anti-Japanese resistance army, while also guarding the Qin family's ancestral property and secret treasures.

They all later died on the battlefield fighting against the Japanese invaders.

The fourth generation, namely Qin Yun's father, Qin Zheng.

With the end of the chaos and the return of peace, he should have lived a peaceful life, guarding his family's wealth.

But three years ago, a friend in the industry invited me to explore an ancient tomb of a mysterious being.

Despite his repeated refusals, his affection for Qin Zheng was undeniable, and Qin Zheng genuinely wanted to go, so he left and never returned.

……

Closer to home!

Although most of the exquisite artifacts and antique funerary objects passed down from the Qin family were kept in secret underground chambers of a private villa on the outskirts of Tianjin.

But inside the safe in front of us were some recently acquired collectibles.

Previously, because they were rushing to raid the tomb before Quanxing, they left too quickly and hadn't moved the items yet; they were just temporarily stored in a safe.

But since we're already here, we might as well use the Golden Eyes we got from the lottery to take another look.

Who knows, there might be magical artifacts or treasures inside!

Qin Yun bent down and took out the items from the cabinet one by one, laying them flat on the long table.

Warm and lustrous ancient jade, bronze fragments, seal script tokens, incomplete scrolls... each piece carries the weighty aura of time, and are indeed genuine artifacts.

However... even with the sweeping gaze of his golden eyes, Qin Yun couldn't spot the magic weapon.

That's true. If there really were that many magical treasures, then weapon refiners would be worthless... Wait a minute!

Upon seeing the center position, Qin Yun's expression became excited as his golden pupils blazed with heat.

It was a strangely shaped Qin sword. He bought it from the seller for 14 yuan because it was well preserved and somewhat similar to Wei Zhuang's Shark Tooth Sword from the TV series "Qin's Moon" in his previous life.

However, judging from what the Golden Eyes revealed, this thing in front of us doesn't seem to be that simple!

[Item: Shark Tooth Sword!]

[Grade: Superior Magic Treasure!]

[Status: Unclaimed: After soaking in shark blood for three days to restore its spirituality, the sword can claim ownership by dripping its blood onto the blade!]

【Origin: During the Warring States period, Xu Fuzi, a swordsmith of the Mohist school, had his parents forge the famous swords Shark Tooth and Broken Rainbow respectively out of a competitive spirit.

Shark Tooth originated from the Xu family, a renowned sword-making clan. Its strength was comparable to Yuanhong, ranked second in Fenghuzi's sword manual, but it was considered a demonic sword due to its extreme ferocity and was therefore not included in Fenghuzi's sword manual.

Its unique tooth-shaped structure makes it the nemesis of many famous swords, and it happens to be an enemy sword with a closely intertwined fate with Yuanhong.

Gai Nie, a successor of the Guigu School and the swordsman of the Warring States period, ultimately had his Yuanhong sword broken by Wei Zhuang, a fellow disciple, with the Shark Tooth sword!

[Ability: A hundred weapons will crumble; the shark's teeth are indestructible and incomparably sharp, capable of breaking even high-grade magic weapons using their saber-like teeth!]
