Traveling Through the Grave Robbers' Chronicles: Starting from Meeting You

The fat man carefully took out three or four dusty sandalwood carved jewelry boxes and placed them on the table.

He opened one at random, and inside the box were a few pieces of jewelry worn by girls. Although the jewelry was covered with dust over the years, one could still see how precious they were.

"You... your family is quite rich. Look at this glass jade bracelet, this red gold silk bracelet, and these..."

The fat man rummaged through the jewelry box, pushed everything aside, and then couldn't wait to open several other jewelry boxes.

The jewellery in each jewellery box is extremely precious and rare, and you can vaguely see how dazzling they were in the past.

"My dear, are these all given to you by your father?"

Lin Nian Yao looked at the fat man and nodded, then shook her head again in his shocked eyes.

Wu Xie looked at her in confusion, not understanding what she meant.

“Some were given to me by my dad, some were left to me by my mom, and some I bought myself.”

Zhang Hanyan picked up a royal blue hairpin with kingfisher feathers, brushed off the dust on it, and looked at it carefully.

"Things from the late Qing Dynasty. If you were a person from that era, maybe the person you are waiting for would have already passed away."

As soon as she finished speaking, Wu Xie and Fatty nodded in agreement.

They all knew how chaotic and difficult that era was. It was very difficult, extremely difficult for an ordinary person to survive safely in that turbulent era.

Lin Nian Yao frowned and looked at them. She pondered for a long time, tears in her eyes about to fall.

Her pale lips trembled for a few moments, but in the end she said no word. When she turned and left, her back looked lonely and fragile.

Suddenly, a strong wind blew outside the house, the leaves in the courtyard rustled, the stars in the sky disappeared, and dark clouds covered the sky. In just a moment, heavy rain came suddenly.

"Sister Hanyan, she looks so pitiful. How about we go to the village tomorrow to ask about her situation and help her?"

Yun Cai looked at the direction where Lin Nian Yao left, and thought of her experience, and tried to persuade her reluctantly.

Zhang Hanyan didn't say anything, but just stared quietly at the open door.

Wu Xie and Fatty looked at each other. Fatty smiled and pulled Yuncai to sit down, comforting her softly.

"Yuncai, actually, it's not that we don't want to help her, it's just that her time is too long ago, and the villagers nowadays may not know anything about her."

“But…she looks so pitiful, waiting alone for so many years, and she doesn’t remember anything except that person.

If her only wish is not fulfilled, then...will she always be waiting like this for a long, long time?"

"No, ghosts will not be reincarnated in the underworld. They are just wandering souls. Wandering souls only exist for a limited time between heaven and earth. When the time is up, they will completely dissipate."

As Zhang Hanyan spoke, she closed the jewelry boxes one by one.

These were Lin Nian Yao’s things when she was alive. Even if she doesn’t need them now, they should be kept well for her.

Zhang Qiling saw her intention and took the jewelry box from her hand and put it back into the compartment of the closet intact.

"Sister Hanyan, if you say so, doesn't that mean she won't even have a chance to be reborn?"

“Well, as long as she voluntarily returns to the underworld before completely dissipating, the underworld will not ignore her, but...she may be punished.

After all, she has been dead for so many years, there must be many ghosts who come to arrest her soul. If she doesn't go, according to human law, it would be resisting arrest."

After hearing what Zhang Hanyan said, Yun Cai thought of Lin Nian Yao, and the smile on her face disappeared. She looked worried.

Zhang Qiling looked down at Zhang Hanyan. She knew that she wanted to help Lin Nian Yao.

However, her wanting to help is one thing, but whether Lin Nian Yao is willing to help is another.

If a person's obsession is too deep, it is impossible to get out of it easily.

Lin Nianyao's obsession is nothing more than wanting to see that person again, or to hear news about him.

Wu Xie sighed in frustration, sat down on the stool, propped up his chin with one hand and looked at the drizzling rain outside.

"What can we do? The era she lived in is too far away, and we can't help her. We don't even know whether the person she is waiting for is dead or alive."

Wu Xie's words made Zhang Hanyan's eyes suddenly light up. She looked at Zhang Qiling with a smile and pulled him to sit next to her.

"Yan Yan, do you have any idea?"

Zhang Hanyan smiled and nodded. Under the gaze of everyone, she took out a piece of talisman paper that had not been drawn on it.

"If that person is alive, we really can't find him, but if he is dead, I can find him."

When Wu Xie and Fatty heard this, they knew it was obviously a good thing, but they immediately felt creepy.

Yun Cai didn't care about these things. When she heard that she could help Lin Nian Yao find that person, she was just happy.

Zhang Qiling stared at the blank talisman paper in her hand, and the soul-calling talisman she had drawn in the Lama Temple in Medog, Tibet suddenly emerged in his mind.

His face turned pale and he suddenly grabbed her hand that was about to draw the talisman.

"What's wrong, bro? Any problem?"

Zhang Hanyan looked at him with confusion, not understanding why he suddenly tried to stop her.

Wu Xie, Fatty and the others all looked at Zhang Qiling at the same time, with the same confusion and puzzlement in their eyes.

"Yan Yan, is this spell like a soul-returning spell?"

In the quiet room, his voice trembled slightly, as if he was fighting against the fear in his heart.

Zhang Hanyan put down the cinnabar pen in her hand, handed him a cup of tea at the right temperature, and smiled gently at him.

"No, this is just a talisman that can summon a ghost. It's very simple and won't cause any harm to the person who drew it."

She gently patted his unconsciously clenched hands, pulling him out of his past memories bit by bit.

"It's okay little brother, I can teach you after I finish drawing."

Zhang Qiling nodded slightly, slowly let go of her hand, and stared at her every move intently, fearing that something might happen to her.

Wu Xie looked at the nervous Zhang Qiling and gently touched the fat man's arm.

"Fatty, tell me, did Han Yan have any problems drawing talismans before? Look how nervous he is, he doesn't even dare to breathe."

The fat man shifted his gaze away from the talisman paper and quickly glanced at Zhang Qiling.

"It must be, otherwise why would the young man be so afraid that something might happen to Han Yan? But then again, Han Yan's talisman paper is really amazing, it can even see ghosts!"

Wu Xie saw that his attention was all on the talisman paper, so he just rolled his eyes at him and didn't say anything else.
