Chapter 258: An Imperial Tomb from the Spring and Autumn Warring States Period? (2)
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
At one moment, Luo Feng mentioned that the civilian burials had disrupted the feng Shui of the area, and the next, he stated that perhaps the emperor did not care…
This left the viewers’ hearts fluttering in uncertainty.
“Well, let me look around and see if I can find the location of the main tomb!” Upon hearing Luo Feng’s analysis, Gu Santong became extremely excited, his face flushing red.
He knew what Luo Feng meant: there was a tomb here, a large tomb. At the lowest level, it would be a tomb for a noble, a general, or a high-ranking official. At the highest level, it could be an imperial tomb.
“Alright, let’s go!” Luo Feng nodded, no longer paying attention to the horse bones and walked several dozen meters toward the main tomb chamber.
The treasures in this area were scattered. At first, Luo Feng did not understand why this was the case, but after analyzing the situation, he was finally able to grasp the layout below him.
It was a character-shaped tomb, approximately 160 meters long. There were around 60 treasure dots surrounding the main tomb.
At this scale, Luo Feng could not rule out the possibility of it being an imperial tomb.
What if the emperor had chosen a simple burial instead of a lavish one?
What if he had deliberately only placed a few burial items?
Regardless, it was undoubtedly a tomb of a high-ranking noble.
“Master Gu, Miss Su, Shishi, and An Peng, come over here and look!” Suddenly, Luo Feng stopped. The light from his headlamp shone down on an irregular hole beneath some weeds.
Indeed, Luo Feng had discovered a hole, one that was around the size of a fist. If one was not careful, it would be easy to miss.
“Could this be a robber’s tunnel?” Gu Santong walked over and was immediately shocked and infuriated.
“Yes!” Luo Feng nodded.
It was evident that tomb robbers had been here before. The fist-sized hole indicated that the robbery had taken place a long, long time ago. Due to this, the tunnel the robbers had dug out had almost been filled by nature.
“Ah!” Gu Santong sighed regretfully. For an archaeological team, finding a robber’s tunnel was not good news.
Without thinking too much, Gu Santong and Luo Feng led the group forward another dozen meters. They found yet another robber’s tunnel. This ancient tomb, covering more than 3,000 square meters, had robber’s tunnels appearing at regular intervals. After several hours, they found over 160 of them.
Of course, 160 tunnels did not mean there were 160 tomb robbers. If a tomb robber dug one and found the location incorrect, they would simply dig another. Or, a later tomb robber might use an existing tunnel dug by their predecessor.
The fact that so many tunnels had been dug in this ancient tomb indicated that it had been raided countless times over thousands of years. It was lamentable that modern archaeologists had not found it yet, while tomb raiders had visited in several dozen waves.
“Damn, so many robber’s tunnels! There’s over 160 of them?”
“Are these tomb robbers all so crazy?
“How did they even find this place?
“Compared to them, Old Luo is just average! They all came before him!”
“Came before him? Isn’t it more accurate to say that it’s a shame that Old Luo was born later?”
“Yeah, it’s been said that most of these tunnels are several hundred years old!”
Luo Feng sighed and said with a smile, “Master Gu, it’s getting late. Let’s go back and rest for today. We can continue tomorrow.”
“I suppose that’s our only choice.” Gu Santong nodded, his mood still quite heavy. After all, no one would be happy with having discovered so many tomb robber’s tunnels.
Luo Feng led the wealthy heirs down the mountain to their campsite to rest for the night.
Meanwhile, Luo Yun and Huang Tianba led the villagers to keep watch over the 3,000 -square-meter area, as they were now livestreaming and potential thieves might attempt to steal from the site.
Should such a scenario truly transpire, these thieves would be in a surprise as they had to face a formidable force of over 1,000 villagers.
“Basically, we’ve confirmed that there’s a large tomb, but it has already been visited by tomb robbers. Everyone should be prepared that there may not be many treasures left. With that out of the way, I’ll be ending the stream now!”
Upon arriving at the campsite, Luo Feng addressed and tempered his viewers expectations before trying to sleep.
However, Li Shishi unexpectedly entered his tent to comfort him, praising his skills and suggesting that he could find another large tomb next time. The two of them alone in the tent, Li Shishi was unaware that Luo Feng, who had not eaten meat for several months, was practically itching to take her on the spot.
Later, Su Meiji visited Luo Feng’s tent alone to discuss some feng Shui matters. This beautiful woman seemed genuinely interested.
Luo Feng felt frustrated; he had just seen off Li Shishi, and now Su Meiji, who had an even more attractive figure, had arrived.
The tent was not large, and her presence made Luo Feng uncomfortable. He had already shown respect to Li Shishi by keeping his distance, but with Su Meiji, it was more than just a matter of respect. It was pure discomfort.
After a few minutes, the clever Su Meiji noticed Luo Feng’s unease and said goodbye, suggesting they continue the discussion the next day. She was not angry, as she was well aware of her own beauty and knew that any normal man would have thoughts about her.
That night, Luo Feng had a bizarre dream again, featuring Su Meiji and Qin Rubing. One of them took care of his upper body, while the other took care of his lower body. Then Li Shishi returned from work, cooked for the three of them, and even helped wash their feet. She was a servant, while Qin Rubing and Su Meiji were the main wives.
“Mom, why do I keep having dreams like this? Is it true that our thoughts during the day affect our dreams at night?” Luo Feng forced a bitter smile, glancing at his watch: it was 6:10 in the morning. He thought he had woken up early, but….
