Do It, Then Die

Zhang Zhengyi had many little schemes, loved archaeology, coveted wealth and profit, and feared death. Aside from archaeology-related matters, everything he excelled at involved running away. He had learned the Lotus Manual and other arts, yet had somehow incorporated them all into archaeology.
