Another Tomb Below? A Tomb within a Tomb? (1)

“Good heavens!”
“A prime minister from the Tang dynasty? Who exactly was it?”
“Host, tell us quickly, which one was it?”
“From what I recall, in the Tang dynasty, there was a system of three departments and six ministries, right? How did a prime minister come about?”
“Heh, who said there wasn’t one? Can you stop showing off now? Your knowledge of history is only half-baked!”
Luo Feng explained, “During the Tang dynasty, there were indeed prime ministers, but it depended on the time period. For a while, the position of chancellor was a semi-official title.”
Inwardly, Luo Feng pointed out, this shouldn’t be the main point, right?
Whether the tomb owner was a prime minister or not, it didn’t matter.
It was merely an official title.
If “dumb *ss” were an official title, then even those two characters would sound quite impressive.
Of course, Luo Feng did not keep his viewers in suspense. He pointed at the tombstone and said, “This is the tomb of Yuan Zai!”
“Who that?”
“And here thought it would be Wei Zheng or Fang Xuanling!”
“I don’t understand, which prime minister is this?”
“Seems like he’s from the Bao Ying period, right? During Emperor Daizong’s reign!”
“Damn! This guy was a major treacherous minister!”
“Our host has hit the jackpot! He has dug up a treacherous minister!”
“What? Hit the jackpot? This man was incredibly corrupt! Even before becoming a prime minister, he was already extremely greedy. After assuming the position, he practically fleeced the entire bureaucracy! I’m telling you, his tomb must be worth a fortune!”
Hit the jackpot?
Sure, I might’ve hit the jackpot, but not in the way you all are imagining!
Having confirmed that this is that man’s tomb…
The burial items here should have been worth extraordinary amounts of money.
But in reality, their worth is a mere 20 million.
If the tomb hadn’t collapsed, adding two more zeroes to that figure might not have been an overestimation.
Unfortunately, once it had collapsed, its value had truly plummeted.
“Let’s dig and see first. Even if it has collapsed, perhaps there’s still something valuable left behind!”
Luo Feng spoke casually.
He was naturally unhappy about it.
It had taken so much effort to dig up a Tang tomb with such a high-ranking occupant, only for it to ultimately collapse…
Luo Feng felt truly stifled.
It was not about the money, because Luo Feng did not lack money. What he needed were numerous Tang Dynasty artifacts to enrich his museum.
After all, foreigners were quite fascinated by the Tang Dynasty, and Tang artifacts held a very high status internationally.
“Goodness, the golden light from the markers buried underneath is so dense, isn’t it?”
“How many broken treasures are there?”
Of course, it is worth mentioning that as Luo Feng’s treasure detection level increased…
The value indicators for his treasures no longer showed red, orange, yellow, or green price prompts.
All that was left were golden lights.
This was the reason Luo Feng had been unable to determine the value of the items below all this time.
(ps: I forgot to mention this, sorry, I thought I’ve talked about it before.)O
[ Ding! Corpse! ]
[ Tang Dynasty! ] [ Value: 2000 yuan! ]
[ Corpse! Another corpse! ]
[ Corpse! Tang Dynasty! ]
As they excavated the collapsed tomb chamber, one corpse after another was unearthed.
Their numbers kept increasing.
It made Luo Feng feel that something was off.
Could it be that these were the bodies of tomb raiders from the Tang dynasty who had been buried here?
Even if that were the case, there were too many of these bodies…
In just half an hour, they had dug up more than thirty bodies.
Luo Feng speculated once more, but without giving it much thought, he walked past the coffins in front of him and headed towards the dense golden light beneath his feet.
Thump, thump, thump.
This ground is solid?
Thump, thump, thump.
Still solid.
After trying more than ten different spots, all of them were solid.
Luo Feng was now utterly baffled.
Were they all really solid?
How could there still be treasures underground?
Could there be a natural mine beneath them?
“Host, what are you knocking on? Are there any more treasures down there?”
“With this level of damage, even if there are any treasures, I’m afraid they’ve already been dug up by others, right?”
“Accept the reality, host. There’s nothing here!”
Luo Feng grabbed a pickaxe and laughed, “Don’t worry. What if there really is something? These tomb raiders wouldn’t have bothered digging three feet deep otherwise!”
Luo Feng led the others in digging vigorously.
When they ran out of oxygen, they replaced the tanks.
After more than an hour.
They had dug a meter deep into the ground beneath the tomb chamber.
Even so, they still had not found a single treasure.
However, the treasure indicators continued to shine brightly below them.
“What is it? Why is it buried so deep?” Luo Feng was on the verge of going insane.
Another hour passed.
Still, no treasure had been found.
However, the golden light still glowed radiantly underneath him. “Damn! Is the host going crazy?”
“Yeah, they’ve dug several meters already. Are they still digging?”
“Hahaha, the host is so stubborn. We’ve already said it’s a place that’s been ransacked by tomb raiders, yet he still won’t believe it? Does he think he can find what the tomb raiders left behind?”
At that moment…
Clang!
Luo Feng’s Swallowtail Hoe struck something, and the sound echoed through the tomb chamber.
[ Ding! You’ve discovered an ancient tomb! ]
[ Era: Ming Dynasty! ]
[ Value: ] What the hell?
What is this?
Is there another ancient tomb below?
A Ming Dynasty tomb at that?
Oh my god.
At this moment, Luo Feng felt as if ten thousand expletives were galloping through his mind.
“Hahaha! That clang just now, I’m sure it was bedrock. Congratulations to our host for digging up another large slab of bluestone!”
“Why is the host frozen? Did something scare him silly?”
“The host must be in desoair. right? It’s just too tragic. If I were in this
situation, I’d be in despair too!”
“Haha, after two hours, they’ve only dug up a single rock. Anyone would be upset! “
