“From the looks of it, prior to the Ming Dynasty, there were a thousand peaks here. After the Ming Dynasty, however, one of the peaks had gone missing! Indeed, Liu Bowen must have leveled it,” said Luo Feng.
After he finished, he did not continue speaking. He simply began digging.
Three hours passed in the blink of an eye. A deep pit had already been dug here.
[ Ding! You have discovered an ancient tomb from the Three Kingdoms era! Value: 5.2 billion yuan! ] Only this much?
Just a little over 5 billion?
Luo Feng was slightly dumbfounded in his heart; it was indeed a humble burial. You see, for someone of Sima Yi’s rank, a value of 5 billion means it certainly was a humble burial.
“We have found it, everyone!” Luo Feng declared, “If there are no mistakes, this should be Sima Yi’s tomb!”
Although Luo Feng was somewhat speechless, he still made an announcement to everyone in the livestream channel.
“Wow, did you really find it?”
“Amazing, Old Luo is amazing!”
“I bet those treasure hunters are looking on in envy!”
“Isn’t that so?”
“Host, hurry into the main burial chamber and take a look!”
“Sima Yi could never have imagined that Old Luo would eventually find his burial site!”
“I see a helicopter is already on its way here, are they trying to take away the tomb Old Luo found?”
“Steal my tomb? Do you think I, Luo Feng, am just sitting idle? My contacts are already waiting for them! ”
The ancient tomb had already been discovered. Even if these people were certified, it was of no use. After all, Luo Feng discovered it first. They did not stand a chance.
Soon, Luo Feng cleared away the soil above the tomb entrance and suddenly felt that something was off. The entrance to the tomb passage was far larger than usual. Normally, the entrance to the tomb passage would be sealed off with compacted earth. But here, it was blocked by a large stone slab. It was hard to tell how thick it was, but it was at least two or three decimeters.
The key point was that the slab was incredibly large. Even after half a meter had been cleared, the edges were not visible. Half an hour later, when the entire stone slab—or should I say, brick—had been unearthed, even Luo Feng was taken aback. This two-meter-long, intact, enormous stone slab was indeed quite formidable.
In ancient times, encountering such a large stone slab would have made it extremely difficult to proceed, especially without machinery and relying solely on manpower. Tomb robbers dreaded such situations the most. Using dynamite would risk being heard.
If they wanted to forcibly move it—how many people would that require?
But fortunately, Luo Feng, who was living in modern society and was certified, could do this openly and without any problems.
“Buried under quicksand?”
After the large stone brick blocking the tomb passage was cleared away, Luo
Feng saw these words and could not help but twitch at the corners of his
mouth.
“What the heck does that mean?”
“It’s simple, does it mean there’s quicksand inside the tomb?” “The Kind-hearted Sima Yi even wrote a warning outside for his visitors?” “Hahaha, your ‘visitor’ joke almost killed me with laughter!”
“I think it means if you forcibly enter the tomb, you’ll be buried in quicksand!” “Good heavens, are they trying to trap us inside?”
“This is indeed the understanding, but I suspect that it is likely a mere intimidation tactic. As Sima Yi would not have desired his tomb to be destroyed, would he?” one of them asked.
“Indeed, if this was the case, why would the ancients have designed numerous traps rather than a single mechanism for self-destructing their tomb?”
“Perhaps they wished to guard their homes after death, but I doubt they would opt for self-destruction!”
“Let’s go, it’s time to open the stone tablet and enter!”
While some were not fearful of the potential consequences, nor afraid of loss, they wanted to force their way into the tomb. However, a group of men, bearing black tubes, suddenly approached. Their shoulders marked them as members of the National Security.
“What’s the meaning of this? We have the proper permits. It’s within our rights to excavate!” they protested.
“Having permits is one thing, but destroying the entire tomb is strictly forbidden. The artifacts inside are very valuable. If you destroy them, can you bear the responsibility?”
It was abundantly clear. The authorities would not let them gamble so recklessly. If Luo Feng was going to gamble, they might negotiate with him, considering his views. But they would not permit these people to proceed.
“You all know nothing, recklessly causing havoc. If you really destroy everything, the consequences would be unthinkable.”
Helplessly, seeing the black tubes of the authorities, they could only step back. Like Luo Feng, they had to continue their search, finding a way to gain entrance without damaging the whole tomb.
Meanwhile, Luo Feng continued his search with his three wives and the wealthy second-generation heirs.
As night fell, a sudden notification sounded,
[ Ding! You’ve discovered a sword! Dynasty: Ming! Worth 25 million yuan! ]
What on earth?
What does this mean?
Another artifact from the Ming Dynasty?
Upon discovering this item, Luo Feng was immediately filled with questions..
