As Luo Feng’s flashlight illuminated the passage, everyone who was watching the stream gasped in astonishment.
When Luo Feng entered the passage, museums from across the nation watched attentively.
Most likely, it was Luo Feng’s fengshui secret techniques that were so impressive, that had made them all extremely curious about the ancient tomb.
Moreover, they all had great expectations towards Luo Feng.
What kind of tomb owner would choose a site with such peculiar fengshui?
According to Luo Feng’s account, land with such auspicious fengshui could not be used for burials unless the person to be buried was an emperor; as anyone without the qualification would be barred from being buried on such hallowed grounds.
With that in mind, just who was the ambitious person buried here, someone without the qualification to be an emperor but still regarded themselves as one?
The burial objects they had seen thus far were terracotta warriors and horses, as well as half a tael of Qin coin, which suggested that it was very likely a tomb from the Qin dynasty.
Of course, the tomb could also be from the Han or Tang dynasties, as both could use Qin artifacts as burial objects.
However, since almost all the burial objects were from the Qin dynasty, and from the lack of Han or Tang artifacts, everyone was very certain that it was a Qin tomb.
If the tomb was indeed from the Qin dynasty, the three emperors that reigned over the dynasty could be immediately excluded, as Luo Feng had already mentioned earlier that the tomb owner was not an emperor. It was due to this that the tomb owner had decided to bury gold to stabilize the royal aura, after all.
If they were among the three legitimate emperors, there would be no need for such measures.
Qin Ziyin had to be excluded as well, since he was a genuine king.
Although Qin Shi Huang proclaimed himself as an emperor, by the time it reached Qin Ziyin, only the Xianyang region remained, and thus, his title was lowered to king.
With the three emperors eliminated, who else was ambitious enough to fulfill the role of the tomb’s owner?
This was an extremely broad criteria, and it was not easy to pinpoint down.
Many ancient ministers secretly harbored ambitions to become emperors and immortals.
Luo Feng did not need to walk too fast; they had brought plenty of oxygen tanks, more than enough for their use.
Moreover, there was no need to dig any further either, as the passage was already laid right before them.
After walking for about seven or eight minutes and turning a corner, the view ahead opened up.
They had exited the fake tomb and had entered the proper one.
Despite this, yet another long passage awaited them.
Luo Feng looked back and saw that the previous passage was about ten meters long.
That is to say, starting from the false tomb, one had to walk through a ten-meter-long connecting passage to reach the true tomb’s boundary.
And now that Luo Feng was in the true tomb’s passage, he found it to be quite wide, much wider than the connecting passage, which spanned about five meters wide and three meters tall.
As for its length, Luo Feng had no way of gauging it since the flashlight could not reach the end,
Nevertheless, the seemingly endless and long tomb passage sent shivers down the party’s spine.
“Murals!”
“Luo Feng! There are murals here!”
Su Meiji excitedly pointed to the walls.
“Indeed, there are many murals here! The tomb owner spared no expense, that’s for sure!”
“Yes, damn, this tomb passage is wider than the country road at the entrance of our village!”
“Haha, I bet a shuttle bus could easily pass through here!”
“Murals everywhere, truly impressive!”
“I just want to know whose tomb this is; it seems quite luxurious!” “Could this be the true tomb of Qin Shi Huang? Is the one that the historians found a fake?”
“Please, stop speculating wildly. How could that be possible?”
Forget the casual viewers, even the museum experts watching the live broadcast were extremely curious as to who the tomb owner was.
And they, too, lacked the ability to analyze the tomb owner’s identity. More unearthed artifacts would be needed for them to reach a conclusion.
“This is really crazy!”
Luo Feng, who was walking in the front, looked at the murals and then at the ground beneath his feet.
“You all see this? These are green floor tiles! And red brick tiles!” “Such vibrant colors! The tomb owner really went all out.”
“And have you noticed? Every few meters, there’s a white tile; these tiles are made of Han white jade!”
“All I can say is, with a tomb passage this luxurious, the tomb owner must be going against the heavens!”
Luo Feng could not help but exclaim.
It was truly formidable.
One could say that among all the tombs Luo Feng had explored, this one was the most formidable.
“Yes, it’s so extravagant!”
“The scale of this tomb is truly terrifying! ”
“Qin Shi Huang! I think this is the true tomb of Qin Shi Huang!”
“Stop talking nonsense, it’s completely impossible! If we compare, the discovered tomb of Qin Shi Huang is much more impressive. Among the tombs of ancient emperors, none is as magnificent as Qin Shi Huang’s!” “He ruled for so many years, united the entire nation, and spent decades building his tomb, of course his tomb is impressive.” Luo Feng walked slowly at the front.
He carefully counted the Han white jade blocks.
After walking a few hundred meters, he finally reached the end of the tomb passage.
“I counted earlier, there were Han white jade blocks about every ten meters or so, totaling 9 blocks!”
“And each block is about 5 meters wide!”
“This undoubtedly represents the supreme authority of the emperor!”
“This tomb is definitely built according to the specifications of an imperial tomb!”
Luo Feng could not help but sigh.
How much manpower, resources, and wealth must have been consumed for this?
Luo Feng did not rush into the tomb chamber but turned back to examine the murals in the tomb passage.
He had been busy counting the steps earlier and had not taken a close look at the murals.
At this moment, the mural depicted a middle-aged man in a black robe, sitting on a dragon throne, looking down at the crowd.
“Have you figured out what it means?” Su Meiji asked, as she did not understand it herself.
“Ahem, we should start with the first mural so we can comprehend the story!”
Luo Feng awkwardly scratched his nose.
There was no reading a novel from the last chapter first.
While leading everyone, Luo Feng returned to the beginning of the tomb passage.
There, he observed the murals on the walls once more.
At first, the mural showed a man in a black robe walking on the street, with the common people around him kneeling and worshiping him..
