180 Trouble for Luo Feng! Unearthing Someone’s Burial Grounds! (3)

[ Ding! Treasure markers: 58! ]

My goodness!

Looking at the treasure markers, which seemed to all be gathered in one place.

Luo Feng had a strong suspicion that this was the ancient tomb that he had been seeking.

!!

Finally, he had found it.

Unable to contain his excitement, Luo Feng immediately led the wealthy second-generation heirs and started digging at one of the markers.

However, with only 58 markers found, it certainly was not a large tomb, but rather a small tomb for an ordinary family.

[ Ding! Tomb-sealing stone! Ming dynasty! Worth 100 thousand! ]

“Is it really that cheap? A tomb-sealing stone is worth only 100,000?”

Now that they had unearthed something like this, Luo Feng’s suspicions were finally put to rest.

He could now be sure that there was indeed a small ancient tomb below him.

However, why had he dug up a tomb-sealing stone this soon?

Shouldn’t this item be within the tomb?

Could it be that the underground tomb had collapsed?

Luo Feng could not understand.

The only thing he could do was to proceed wiping the mud off the surface of the tomb-sealing stone, revealing a large traditional Chinese character “?” in the process.

On its back was a sword pattern.

“Ooh, is this a tomb-sealing brick? Does this mean Old Luo has found the tomb?”

“When it comes to digging up ancient tombs, no one can beat our host! Archaeology teams? Step aside!”

“What does the character “?” on this item mean?”

“It means ‘to suppress’!”

“Host, please continue digging! Hahaha!”

There was no need for them to say it.

Luo Feng immediately changed his digging location. After digging more than a meter deep and uncovering nothing, not even broke tomb bricks, Luo Feng moved on to the next spot.

[ Ding! Tomb-sealing stone! Ming dynasty! Worth 100,000 yuan!”]

Luo Feng found another identical tomb-sealing stone and was very puzzled. How could one tomb contain 2 tomb-sealing stones?

“I understand now. Perhaps there’s a joint burial tomb below?”

“But a joint burial tomb wouldn’t require two tomb-sealing stones! One suppressing stone is enough for a family… Naturally, a husband and wife would only need one!”

“Could it be a group burial tomb?”

Seeing that there were newbies watching his stream, Luo Feng shook his head with a smile and said, “It’s not possible for it to be a group burial tomb! Group burials hardly require tomb-sealing stones. I’ll just keep digging and see! We’ll know once we find more items or the tomb itself!”

Half an hour later.

Ding.

[ You have found another tomb-sealing stone. ]

[ Worth 100,000 yuan. ]

Damn!

Luo Feng was speechless. It was another tomb suppressing stones of the same size and with the same character.

[ Ding, you found yet another tomb suppressing stone. ]

Damn it, this is already the 5th one!

By the time it was past 5 p.m., Luo Feng had dug up a total of 8 stones. He felt frustrated and puzzled.

“What the hell is going on with all these tomb-sealing stones?”

“Could it really be a group burial?”

“But Old Luo said that group burials don’t use tomb-sealing stones!”

“Don’t be so absolute! There might be exceptions!”

Thinking that the viewer’s comment made sense, Luo Feng nodded and agreed, saying “Perhaps there are exceptions, but we don’t know yet!”

“Let’s take a break and continue digging after we eat! Let’s work overtime today!”

Although it was already 5 p.m., now that their interests were piqued, they did not plan on leaving anytime soon. Though they had not found any ancient tombs yesterday, the fact that they had discovered tomb-sealing stones this time meant that they were on the right track. As such, staying up late was inevitable.

“What’s going on down there? Luo Feng, have you figured it out?”

Li Shishi carefully prepared a bowl of rice for Luo Feng and asked curiously.

“I’m not sure either, but it’s possible that the ancient tomb below was collapsed by tomb robbers!” Luo Feng said.

“If it collapsed, wouldn’t the treasures be damaged too?”

“Porcelain would definitely be broken! Gold and silver treasures can withstand the impact, though!”

“Hehe, and gold and silver treasures are the least valuable things!”

Luo Feng thought for a moment, then took out his phone and called Gu Santong. Although they had not found the ancient tomb yet, he decided to give him a heads-up, so that he would not complain about not being informed.

Upon hearing the news, Gu Santong was excited and said he would come right away, but Luo Feng asked him to wait a bit longer. However, there was nothing Luo Feng could do to stop him regardless.

...

Meanwhile, the private archaeological team and museum staff that were located around ten kilometers away from Luo Feng’s spot were feeling utterly disheartened. After resting in the morning, they continued to dig at the spot where Luo Feng had found the golden hairpins, but after digging down ten meters, they found nothing.

It was during this time that they heard that Luo Feng had already found tomb-sealing stones. How could they not be devastated?

So, was it true, as Luo Feng had said, that tomb robbers had already done their work here and there was no ancient tomb beneath the surface?

…

After half an hour of rest, although it was not completely dark yet, Luo Feng had already put on his headlamp, as had the wealthy second-generation heirs. They all looked eager and ready for action.

Truthfully speaking, working with Luo Feng on treasure hunting was so thrilling that many wealthy second-generation kids would be willing to pay a million a month for such an exciting experience. Many of them were itching to join, but Luo Feng’s current requirements were either to purchase two cars worth five million each or pay 2 million a month directly to him. Both of these conditions deterred many of the less wealthy second-generation kids.

“Ding, you’ve dug up jade!”

“Ming dynasty! Valued at 60 thousand yuan!”

Jade again? Luo Feng wondered if the tomb owner’s social status was rather ordinary since the jade was so cheap. In just a few minutes, Luo Feng lifted the jade plaque-like object from the pit, chuckling, “It seems that the tomb below has indeed collapsed!”

After removing the dirt from the surface, Luo Feng saw a toad pattern carved on the jade plaque. Made of ordinary white jade, its carving was quite crude. Its value of 60 thousand yuan was mainly due to its origin in the Ming Dynasty.

As he continued to dig… Jade… Jade… And even more jade had been unearthed.

...

About an hour and a half had passed, and it was around 8 in the evening, with night fully descended. Luo Feng had already unearthed 5 or 6 jade plaques. Although their patterns varied, their sizes and values were similar. Glancing at the remaining dozen or so marked spots, Luo Feng furrowed his brow, wondering what kind of ancient tomb this was. It seemed rather humble. He had initially thought it belonged to a wealthy family, but it seemed that it might not even qualify as that.

Another half-hour of digging passed. There was a clang, and the feedback from the Swallowtail hoe was intense. Luo Feng was ecstatic.

[ Ding! You’ve discovered an ancient tomb! ]

[ Ming Dynasty! ]

[ Value: ??? ]

What was this? Its value is unreadable again? Regardless of the value, Luo Feng continued to dig. Several dozen minutes later, a pit over a meter deep had been excavated by everyone. It contained irregularly shaped fragments of stone, some the size of a fist and others as large as a volleyball. After digging for a while, Luo Feng spotted a massive, smooth stone slab beneath the densely packed stones.

He cleared the stones surrounding the large slab, and its full appearance was revealed. It was roughly two meters long and over a meter wide. At first, he thought it was a stone coffin, but upon closer inspection, it was not. He called everyone over, and together they lifted the 200-kilogram stone slab.

To their surprise, they found a stone box underneath. The box was a cube, about several dozen centimeters on each side.

Its surface was carved with intricate patterns, and upon opening the box, Luo Feng’s immediately widened, and his chat went utterly silent.

It was a person’s skull…

As Luofeng gazed upon the skull before him, his heart nearly leapt out of his chest in fright. Suddenly, he remembered something important. The direction of the tombstone should align with the position of Bagua. As he inspected the jade pendant that had been unearthed, he realized that the creatures depicted on it were not toads, but rather frogs. Additionally, he recognized four other patterns: centipedes, poisonous snakes, geckos, and scorpions.

It slowly dawned on Luo Feng that he had stumbled upon a tomb without descendants. The gravity of the situation was not lost on him – this was no ordinary discovery. With his heart racing, he realized that he was about to embark on a treasure hunt like no other.
