Chapter 596 The past!
When Jia Dongming heard Grandpa Guan say the words "there is reincarnation in the world", his eyes suddenly brightened up. At this moment, he didn't need to think to guess that Grandpa Guan must know something.

With this thought in mind, Jia Dongming introduced to Grandpa Guan in a serious manner: "Grandpa Guan! Not only was Guan Yunshan's entire family killed, but he himself was also tortured extremely cruelly by the murderer before his death. Not only was he tied to a pillar while kneeling, but there was almost no intact skin on his body except for his face. In addition, the murderer opened a large hole in Guan Yunshan's lower abdomen, and even his intestines flowed out."

When Grandpa Guan learned about Guan Yunshan's experience and thought about the past events that happened more than 20 years ago, he couldn't help but sighed, "When will the cycle of revenge end? I reminded Yunshan back then to quit his criminal ways, but he ignored my advice and ended up like this."

Jia Dongming heard the sigh of Grandpa Guan and the information revealed in Grandpa Guan's words. Thinking of his inner judgment, he hurriedly asked Grandpa Guan: "Grandpa Guan! You just said that you want Guan Yunshan to quit the business. If I'm not mistaken, you should be persuading him not to engage in the tomb-robbing business anymore, right?"

When Grandpa Guan heard Jia Dongming's question, he showed a surprised expression on his face and asked Jia Dongming curiously: "Comrade Public Security! Guan Yunshan was engaged in the business of tomb robbing, but that was before liberation. How do you know that Guan Yunshan had done such a thing?"

When Jia Dongming heard Master Guan's question, he smiled and introduced to Master Guan: "Master Guan! We found the identity symbol of the tomb-grabbing lieutenant on Guan Yunshan's body, the tomb-grabbing talisman!"

"In addition to Guan Yunshan's family being killed, last night in Dongcheng District, a family named Jin Bingwan was killed except for his daughter and son-in-law who were away visiting relatives. We also found the tomb-grabbing talisman on Jin Bingwan."

"Also, according to what Director Zhang said before, Guan Yunshan has a master named Master Zhang San. If I'm not mistaken, this Master Zhang San should be the famous tomb-raiding lieutenant Zhang Sanlianzi from the previous dynasty. And Jin Bingwan, who was killed last night, should be a fellow apprentice of Guan Yunshan?"

"Comrade from the Public Security Bureau, judging from your age, you should be less than 30 years old, right? How do you know Zhang Sanlianzi?" When Guan Yunshan heard what Jia Dongming said, an expression of extreme shock appeared on his face, and he asked Jia Dongming with confusion.

The reason why Jia Dongming knew about Zhang San Chain was entirely because of a later novel called "Ghost Blowing Out the Light". In this novel, Master Zhang San was a legendary tomb-raiding lieutenant who was famous for wearing three tomb-raiding talismans, so he was called Zhang San Chain.

The only difference is that in the novel, Zhang Sanlianzi's four disciples are Elder Liaochen, Jin Abacus, Yin-Yang Eyes Sun Guofu and Tiemotou, while in reality, Zhang Sanlianzi's disciples are Guan Yunshan, Jin Bingwan and others.

When Jia Dongming heard Grandpa Guan asking him how he knew about Zhang San's chain, he naturally could not tell Grandpa Guan that he came from later generations and the only reason he knew about Zhang San's chain was because of a tomb-robbing novel.

Facing Grandpa Guan's question, Jia Dongming introduced in a serious manner: "Grandpa Guan! When I was in the army, one of my comrades-in-arms, his ancestor was a tomb keeper of the previous dynasty. I heard about Zhang Sanlianzi from his story about the tomb-robbing lieutenant." Grandpa Guan is also an old man from the old times, and naturally he is not unfamiliar with the tomb keepers of the previous dynasty. When he heard what Jia Dongming introduced, he was no longer surprised that Jia Dongming knew about Zhang Sanlianzi.

After hearing what Jia Dongming said, Grandpa Guan couldn't help but sigh again and introduced to everyone slowly: "Comrade Public Security! Since you have heard of Zhang San Lianzi, let me tell you why I said that there is reincarnation when I just learned that Guan Yunshan's entire family was wiped out."

At this point, Master Guan picked up the purple clay teapot beside him, took a sip of tea, and then continued to introduce: "This matter started 27 years ago. According to legend, when King Chuang retreated from Sijiu City after his defeat, in order to make a comeback in the future, he took away all the gold, silver and treasures from the homes of all the officials in Sijiu City and ordered his most trusted general Li Guo to secretly transport them out of Sijiu City and bury them in the Tianmen Mountain area."

"Since the news of King Chuang's treasure spread, many treasure hunters have entered Tianmen Mountain for the treasure for more than two hundred years, but they all returned empty-handed. Until twenty-seven years ago, a message suddenly spread in the antique world that the Li family in Hunan Province was the descendant of Li Guo and had a map of King Chuang's treasure. When the Japanese learned of this news, they sent people to surround the Li family and demanded that the Li family hand over the treasure map, otherwise they would exterminate the entire Li family."

"However, the Li family in Hunan Province is not the descendant of Li Guo at all, but a family that specializes in tomb robbing. The reason why the antique world spread the news that the Li family is the descendant of Li Guo is because Guan Yunshan and the Li family were eyeing the same large tomb at the same time, and the dispute between the northern and southern factions of tomb robbers deliberately spread rumors."

"In order to deal with the Japanese, the Li family used the sand tomb to forge a treasure map. After the Japanese got the treasure map, they did not keep their promise and let the Li family go. Instead, they massacred the entire Li family. In the end, except for a few children who hid in the secret room and luckily escaped, all the other members of the Li family died under the Japanese's butcher knife."

"When I learned about Guan Yunshan's actions, I advised him to quit tomb robbing. He agreed with me verbally, but turned a deaf ear to my words and continued to engage in tomb robbing with his three fellow apprentices. One time, when they were digging a large tomb, the news somehow leaked out and they were retaliated by the descendants of the Li family. Guan Yunshan's third apprentice Zheng Jingpeng and fourth apprentice Lin Longfei were completely trapped in the tomb because of the Li family's revenge."

"I originally thought that after so many years, the Li family should have been able to let go of this grudge, but I didn't expect that the Li family would come back again and wipe out Guan Yunshan and Jin Bingwan's entire family in such a cruel way. This is really the law of nature!"

After hearing what Grandpa Guan said, Jia Dongming and the others finally understood what Grandpa Guan meant when he said that everything goes as it should. Thinking of the grudges between Guan Yunshan, Jin Bingwan and the Li family, Jia Dongming always felt something was strange for some reason. After all, this incident happened so many years ago, why didn't the Li family take revenge earlier or later, but waited until now?
