Upon crouching down, Luo Feng attempted to lift the object, but discovered it was impossible to budge.
What a find! Was there more beneath?
Peering closer, he realized it was actually a large piece.
Hey, Luo Feng, what have you dug up? Is it just a rock again? Do you have a grudge against rocks or something?” Qin Rubing looked at the object covered in mud, making it difficult to discern its true nature.
“Rubing, this is not a rock, but jade.” Luo Feng wiped the surface of the jade a
few times, allowing her to see it more clearly.
As the sky was getting darker, her view from a distance was not very clear.
“What a huge piece of jade!”
“It’s hard to tell what it is, but it’s at least cylindrical in shape!” “Wow! Could there be an ancient tomb underneath?”
“With such a large piece of jade, it must be an imperial tomb!”
The viewers in the livestream were, of course, very excited. Such a large piece of jade was rare. Naturally, there was a significant difference between jade and jadeite. Jade referred to the finished product, while jadeite was the raw material or a semi-finished product.
“It really is huge! ” Luo Feng was also surprised. He had dug up several ancient tombs before, but this was his first time encountering such a large piece of jade.
He straddled the jade and began to use a small hoe to loosen the soil on both sides. After pulling a little, it loosened somewhat. Luo Feng intended to extract the jade artifact.
“Wow! I still can’t pull it out!” Luo Feng was at a loss for words.
He had thought that it had loosened enough to be pulled out, but he had been too naive.
“How big is it? It’s so deep! We’ve dug around it for about a meter, and it still can’t be pulled out?” Su Meiji was stunned.
Such a jade artifact was truly a rare sight in the world.
“This jade artifact, given its size, could easily sell for at least 100 million at auction!” Qin Rubing excitedly said, but then remembered that Luo Feng would be keeping this piece in his museum.
It did not matter, though. She recalled that Luo Feng had agreed that after she had worn black stockings for him to see, he would let her borrow artifacts from his museum for her Rare Treasure Pavilion. At this thought, Qin Rubing felt quite smug.
She wanted to ask what is the condition for borrowing next time? Perhaps white stockings? If so, she would gladly wear them for Luo Feng to see.
More than an hour later, the full view of the jade artifact finally emerged. It was a jade column about two meters tall, carved with two king tigers on top.
“Oh my goodness! This jade column is so long!” “What dynasty is it from? How can it be so big?”
“Could it be the heavenly pillar of the Jade Emperor?”
“I think it’s a beam from an imperial tomb. There must be an imperial tomb below!”
Luo Feng said, “Looking at the cutting techniques, it’s clear that this jade artifact is from the Han Dynasty!”
As for whether it was a supporting pillar of an imperial tomb, Luo Feng knew that was not the case. If it were a supporting pillar, the ancient tomb below would have collapsed.
Examining the jade column, he found no signs of breakage. It was still intact.
“There should be many more valuable artifacts in this area. Let’s dig some more!” Luo Feng looked toward a treasure marker not far from the jade column.
After digging just a few times, he unearthed another object.
[ Ding! Gold and silver: valued at 36 million! ]
Wow! Gold and silver that is worth this much?
Could it be a large chunk of gold and another of silver?
Was the gold meant to suppress the emperor’s energy? And was this object just a few meters away from the jade column?
Could there be any connection between these latest finds?
Luo Feng was very curious and quickly dug the object out. Soon, something
resembling a silver rope emerged. It appeared to be cast from silver.
“Is it a silver rope?” Luo Feng could not help but exclaim.
He continued to excavate along the silver rope. Soon, the top end of the object was fully exposed. It was quite thick, with a diameter of about thirty centimeters. Unfortunately, there were no markings to indicate which dynasty the object belonged to. But since it was buried only a few meters from the jade column, could they both be artifacts from the Han Dynasty?
“Wow, host, it’s so thick and huge!” the viewers commented.
“Hahaha, I bet the host is envious of this silver rope!”
“If you were as big as this thing, I bet Su Meiji would already be yours!” As for the viewers in the livestream, they could not possibly know Luo Feng’s thoughts. He was in a dilemma, wanting both Su Meiji and Qin Rubing. What a ridiculous dilemma. Seriously, any man would just want both.
“Wow! Don’t just spout nonsense, you guys!” Luo Feng rolled his eyes and ignored them.
As for the silver rope, its diameter was indeed quite thick, but its length remained unknown.
After digging for another hour, it had reached two meters, but there was still no sign of an end.
Where was the promised gold and silver? Why was there only silver and no gold?
Luo Feng stared at the object for a long time, thinking back to the jade column. Suddenly, a thought struck him, and he exclaimed internally, “No way, no way!”
Muttering to himself, Luo Feng looked at the silver rope again and gently poked it with the tip of his knife. The gleaming golden color inside the silver rope was quickly revealed.
“So, the outside is silver, and the inside is gold?”
“Hahaha, I knew it!” Luo Feng laughed. As it turned out, the gold was wrapped inside the silver rope. No wonder he was unable to find it earlier.
“Wow! Gold?”
“How did you discover this, host?”
“Do you have x-ray vision?”
Luo Feng glanced at the bottom of the silver rope, wondering how much more was buried below. He said, “Do you remember what I said earlier? Although this place has incredible fengshui, it’s not suitable for burials.. I think that jade column was probably used for sacrificial purposes!”
