A family in Chongyang district, Ham Ninh city, Hubei province, China was surprised to discover a strange phenomenon at their ancestors' graves.
One day in 2018, Mr. Ton was working in his family's fields when he saw smoke rising from his ancestors' graves. This smoke has a mysterious blue color.
Seeing the strange smoke, Mr. Ton thought that his ancestors had appeared and brought good news. According to local people's beliefs, such manifestations of ancestors will help future descendants prosper in business and lead a lucky and prosperous life. Mr. Ton immediately ran home to tell his family about this and they decided to go up the mountain to visit their ancestors' graves the next day.
Upon arriving, Mr. Ton and his family realized that the blue smoke rising from their ancestors' graves was not a supernatural phenomenon. They found 4 to 5 large holes right next to their ancestors' graves so they quickly reported them to the police.
According to the police investigation, they found that these holes were caused by explosives, which was the cause of the rising blue smoke.
Mr. Ton said that his ancestors were once quite rich and powerful, but later because of war and other reasons, they moved to this remote mountainous area.
Police said the explosives were not aimed at Mr. Ton's ancestral grave but wanted to take something else from underneath. So, they contacted archaeological experts to help.

Archaeological experts, after a thorough examination, found the path. They discovered an ancient tomb located right below the Ton family's ancestral tomb. The explosion was due to the ancient tomb being noticed by tomb robbers. Therefore, experts immediately requested to blockade the entire mountain to prevent the ancient tomb from being violated and affected.
After excavation, archaeological experts determined that the tomb dated from the Song Dynasty, 800-900 years ago. However, the tomb robbers took away almost all the artifacts inside, leaving only a few severely damaged relics. Therefore, the archaeological value of this ancient tomb is much reduced.
The fact that his ancestors' graves were dynamited made Mr. Ton indignant and angry because it affected the dignity of the entire clan. He hopes that the authorities will strengthen investigations and catch the thieves so that this does not happen again.
