“Once again, we can eliminate Duke Hui of Qin, as no major wars occurred during his reign. The murals depict the tomb owner’s most glorious moments in battle throughout his life. It is clear that he does not qualify!”
“Likewise, Duke Chu of Qin can also be ruled out, as he was only a few years old during his reign!”
“That leaves us with three candidates eliminated, and the only one left is Duke
Ling of Qin!”
“So, this is Duke Ling of Qin’s tomb!”
“In the sixth year of Duke Ling’s reign, in 419 BC, the Wei family of the Jin state built a fortress at Shaoliang, and Qin sent troops to attack. The two armies fought in Shaoliang for two years.”
“In the eighth year of Duke Ling’s reign, in 417 BC, the Wei army defeated the Qin army and built a fortress at Shaoliang again. The Qin army then built defensive fortifications along the Yellow River to prevent the Wei army from advancing westward.”
“Although he didn’t win any major battles, he still made some minor achievements!”
After thoroughly analyzing the situation, Luo Feng explained his findings.
His analysis left the livestream audience amazed, as they found it incredibly unbelievable.
“Wow, did he just figure out the tomb owner’s identity?” “Is the host really this amazing? “Just two murals is all it takes for him to realize the truth?”
“He’s a genius, I’m impressed!”
“His reasoning is sound! Among these kings, only Duke Ling of Qin has some battle achievements!”
“Hahaha, yes, otherwise Duke Xiao of Qin wouldn’t have criticized his ancestors’ incompetence in his search for talents!”
Luo Feng no longer paid attention to the comments and said, “Let’s go up.
These places should be left to actual archaeological teams and the experts.” Luo Feng arrived at the bottom of the tomb entrance and tugged on the rope that was lowered down.
In no time, he was pulled up by the people above.
“Master Gu…”
Luo Feng was about to say something to Gu Santong.
However, Gu Santong excitedly interjected, “Little Luo, I’ve already called the authorities and they’re sending people over. There’s no doubt that this tomb belongs to a ruler from the Qin Dynasty, and it’s Duke Ling of Qin, who has some battle achievements.”
The appearance of the artifacts confirmed the time period.
And it was during the pre-Qin period.
So, it could only be the tomb of a ruler.
“By the way, Little Luo, are there no other artifacts down there?”
“Of course not. Apart from some ironware and pottery that the tomb raiders didn’t want, there are only some bamboo tubes left in the coffin. The rest are just the murals! I guessed the tomb owner’s identity based on the content of the murals. As for whether the tomb owner is Duke Ling of Qin, you’ll need to conduct the necessary investigative procedures. After all, I’m not an authority on this subject.”
Luo Feng chuckled as he responded.
Although he did not sound entirely sure, deep down, Luo Feng believed he was right.
“So, Little Luo, you’re not digging anymore?”
“Of course not. Archaeology is your expertise; whereas my expertise is treasure hunting!” Luo Feng had no interest in things that were not valuable. after all.
“Hahaha, alright then. We’ll take care of this place. As for the treasures that are unearthed, we’ll still convert them to money for you!” Gu Santong laughed happily.
“Sounds good!” Luo Feng nodded, looking at Su Meiji, Li Shishi, and the others.
“Let’s rest for a while, then set off. It’s just past nine o’clock now.”
After resting for half an hour, they ventured deeper into Mount Taiyi.
Around half past ten in the morning, Luo Feng and his party had officially left the area of Duke Ling of Qin’s tomb, and were about three to five kilometers away, on an elevated piece of land. Luo Feng wished to assess the fengshui of the area through his vantage point.
At the same time, he would also combine his fengshui findings with his scanning system.
Otherwise, scanning every inch of Mount Taiyi would be overwhelming, as it was auite large.
However, just as he had expected, the fengshui in this area was average.
Compared to the dragon-entering formation at the previous location, it was far inferior.
However, it was the excellent fengshui chosen by ancient people that allowed later tomb raiders to study the fengshui and locate their tombs.
If it were up to Luo Feng, he would choose areas with the worst fengshui, and challenge others to find it.
Of course, the ancient people would never do that. Choosing poor fengshui would likely be detrimental to their afterlife.
Luo Feng scanned the area three to five times throughout the day.
Among the items found were two wild ginseng roots, worth hundreds of thousands, and other small trinkets.
Luo Feng led the group westward towards Mount Taiyi.
They had already traveled more than ten kilometers.
On the afternoon of the third day, at around 2 p.m., Luo Feng and his companions set off again after resting for an hour.
He turned on the scanner.
[Ding! 100 treasure markers!]
Holy moly!
100 markers?
But they’re highly scattered?
These seem like…
More herbs?
Deep in the mountains, the most troublesome thing for Luo Feng was undoubtedly the herbs.
They were truly frustrating finds.
“Luo Feng, how’s the fengshui in this area?”
Li Shishi was bored over the past two days, as there were hardly any treasures to excavate.
“The fengshui here is quite average! Otherwise, Luo Feng would have stopped and searched!” Su Meiji looked around and noticed the chaotic overall layout, which did not form a proper pattern. “Yes, the fengshui is not very good!”
Luo Feng nodded.
Half an hour later, he led the group to a hillside covered with weeds and vines.
Not far away, there was a bamboo grove.
“Look, there’s a cave!”
After clearing some weeds, Luo Feng spotted a cave and immediately exclaimed with excitement.
Then, he turned on his flashlight and shone it inside. The pitch-black cave was instantly illuminated.
“Is something moving in there?”
“Is it a snake?”
Su Meiji’s beautiful eyes widened, and she nervously grabbed Li Shishi’s arm.
“Wow, Shishi, it’s a good thing you’re here. Otherwise, the beautiful Su would probably be grabbing my arm!” Luo Feng muttered to himself..
