Tomb raiding has existed since ancient times.
It can be said that with the formation of funeral customs, tomb robbers also emerged, entangled in a relationship that spanned thousands of years.
The oldest historical record is the raiding of Shang Tang's tomb.
Such acts, naturally, are not condoned.
Especially those in power, who want lavish burials without being dug up and exposed after death, decreed from the Pre-Qin period, "Thieves shall be punished," and "grave robbers shall be executed."
By Tang Dynasty times, the "Tang Code of Administrative Laws" even stipulated, "Those who climb mausoleums without cause shall also be punished as if they had entered the Grand Temple."
In short, even getting close would mean death.
That's the purpose of the Tomb Guardian Army, unauthorized entrants killed!
However, it was all in vain.
Li Yan's good friend, Zhao Lvzi, had once told him about this line of work.
