## History

### Early Life

Liu Sang's background is mostly based on the rumors Pangzi heard from Pan Zi's war buddies. They were never denied nor confirmed by Liu Sang. According to the unconfirmed rumor, Liu Sang's father found a valuable tomb while serving in the Sino-Vietnamese conflict. However, the mountainous area was destroyed by artillery, and his father could not find the tomb later. Liu Sang's dad told several comrades-in-arms about it, even Pan Zi, but decided against entering into the grave robbing business.

Liu Sang was born sometime in the 1990s. His parents divorced when he was a teenager and his dad remarried. Liu Sang started to rebel and run away from home. At some point, his father was diagnosed with intestinal cancer. He then lived with his stepmother and she splashed boiling water on him. He left home to find his father at the hospital. He had to beg for food on the streets to survive. By the time he was able to find him at the hospital, his father had already died.

He was then lived as a beggar with a disability who shouted and begged in the streets. Laitou Guzi, a grave robber, picked him up because Liu Sang talked about the tomb his father had found in Vietnam. Three years later, his stepmother and her whole family died in the house owned by Liu Sang's father. An arsonist had locked all the windows and doors and used a tape recorder to record all of their screams. The rumor was that Liu Sang was the arsonist. Wu Xie believed that there was something more to Liu Sang's background because he thought the other didn't have such an evil character.

Later, Liu Sang, Laitou Guzi, and seventeen people from Xuancheng’s old market entered Little Python Mountain and went into Empress Dowager Chengtian’s tomb. Only Liu Sang survived but many rumors started about him because of that incident since it is likely he had to commit murder. After Laitou Guzi's death, Liu Sang found another teacher.

### Exploration of the South Sea King's Tomb

Liu Sang met with Wu Erbai and the rest to explore the South Sea King's Tomb. Liu Sang immediately did not get along with Pangzi. The two had met before and they continued to bicker with each other. When Liu Sang first met Zhang Qiling, his body trembled, his face turned red and he had to look away from him out of embarrassment. He continuously took pictures of Zhang Qiling on the ride to the beach that contained the South Sea King's Tomb much to the annoyance of Wu Xie and Pangzi.

Once they arrived on the beach, Liu Sang, along with Wu Xie, Zhang Qiling, and Pangzi, made preparations to use detonators in the mudflat to find the tomb. Liu Sang set up a device used by the ancients to guard cities from enemies who sought to dig tunnels from the outside. When it was buried under the city wall it would amplify any digging sounds. Wu Xie was impressed that Liu Sang used such an old method, and his opinion of him changed.

Liu Sang went to the middle of the mudflat, while Wu Xie, Pangzi, and Zhang Qiling buried the detonators on the edge. Liu Sang continued to listen while the detonators exploded but after some time he became confused because he thought he heard someone talking below. Soon, hundreds of thousands of sea cockroaches began to crawl out of the mud. The mud beneath their feet became unstable. They heard voices before the ground collapsed beneath them. While down below, Liu Sang got separated from Wu Xie, Zhang Qiling, and Pangzi.

Later in the tomb, Wu Xie, Pangzi, and Zhang Qiling looked for Liu Sang's bluetooth device nearby. They found Liu Sang's phone which was named “be aware that you can’t use lights around the murals—Liu Sang” Liu Sang was nearby but not returning any of Pangzi's messages. The three of them continued to explore more of the tomb before they came to an impasse, so Wu Xie decided to try and see where Liu Sang was. He checked his bluetooth device and found that Liu Sang was below them. However, his bluetooth device name had changed to "People everywhere, people everywhere, people everywhere.” The three of them had no idea what he meant and thought he had gone crazy. They decided to let Liu Sang be because it was too dangerous to go down to the drainage level without proper equipment. Wu Xie believed that Liu Sang wasn’t experienced enough to know this. He also thought that if Liu Sang was in the dark he was probably hearing those voices and would go mad if he stayed in the dark for too long.

After not hearing from Liu Sang for a long time, Zhang Qiling went to retrieve him and left Wu Xie and Pangzi. Zhang Qiling returned with Liu Sang on his back. Like Pangzi, Liu Sang's ears were covered with shellfish that looked like little hands and was unconscious.
