“Judging by their reactions, it must be it!”
“Do we have a tyrannosaur in our country?”
“It seems like history is about to be rewritten, doesn’t it?”
This discovery was utterly shocking to the field of paleontology. Scientists had once discovered a tyrannosaur in Zhucheng and thought it might be the real deal, but it turned out not to be the case. They had also once found footprints left behind by a tyrannosaur, but never a single fossilized bone.
Now, however, Luo Feng had unearthed a fossil with an astounding 70-80% completeness. Regardless of whether it had drifted over during the Mesozoic oceanic period, a tyrannosaur had been excavated within the borders of China. At that moment, Luo Feng’s phone was flooded with calls. However, he did not answer them. Instead, he continued digging and even turned off his phone. Everyone else had no choice but to leave messages.
Over the next month, Luo Feng and his team continued to excavate at the site. However, the remaining fossils were peculiar—all they found were scattered bones, either heads or legs. No complete dinosaur fossils were discovered. They dug for almost fifteen more days.
With only scattered treasures remaining, Luo Feng decided not to continue digging. “Professor Gu, Professor Liu, I will leave this hillside to you!” he announced. “You will not be digging for free; your institutions will be compensated!”
“Alright, no problem,” the two men agreed without hesitation. Their departments always struggled with insufficient annual budgets. This additional income was a true blessing for them.
“Well, I will be leaving now, ” Luo Feng said, looking at the deep mountains before proceeding further into them.
Over the past half a month, numerous people had called, wanting to purchase his tyrannosaur fossil. However, Luo Feng had refused them outright. His museum was in need of such a grand exhibit. The thought of owning such a fossil was awe-inspiring for him. A tyrannosaur fossil with such a high degree of completeness would rank among the top five in the world. Other tyrannosaur fossils only had about 50% completeness, meanwhile, the rest were reconstructed with artificial parts.
In the blink of an eye, Luo Feng had left Mount Taiyi and arrived at the Qinling Mountains, nestled beside a river. He followed a narrow mountain path, steadily advancing.
Ahead of him lay the highest mountain range of the Qinling, Mount Taibai.
“Activate level-five scan!” he commanded.
After the scan, Luo Feng followed the treasure markers and began digging. He dug all morning, had lunch, and then continued searching with his team. This journey lasted for three days.
On the third day at noon, under the scorching sun, Luo Feng passed through a cool forest with his team. After they had rested sufficiently, their view suddenly widened.
“What excellent fengshui!” Luo Feng exclaimed upon seeing the picturesque landscape nestled by the mountain and river.
“Ah? Excellent fengshui? Could an ancient tomb be lying about?” someone asked.
“Looks like the host is going to strike it rich again!” another remarked.
“Yeah, I heard that when a tyrannosaur was discovered in our country, the Great Wall Museum was packed with tens of thousands of visitors. The foot traffic on the first day alone included over 1,000 foreigners!”
That was right. Luo Feng’s museum had opened. After considering Su Meiji’s suggestion, he had decided to name his museum after the Great Wall, a symbol of China. This would let foreigners know that it was a Chinese museum. Tickets were priced at 100 yuan each.
Tens of thousands of visitors translated to millions of yuan in revenue on the first day alone. Of course, this was just the opening day,
Although the museum’s popularity would still rise for a while, it would eventually decline. It was not possible to maintain such high numbers every day. However, sustaining this level of attendance for a month was not an issue.
Some might say that Luo Feng was making millions a day, but the cost of the land for constructing the museum alone had been several billion yuan. What did a few million mean in comparison? Not to mention, the cultural relics would be worth tens of billions if sold. There were even offers of several billion yuan for the tyrannosaur fossil.
“This place is incredible!” Luo Feng smacked his lips and raised his hand to exclaim, “These five mountains and nine dragons form a majestic and steep mountain range! On the left, it is surrounded by a river, and on the right, it lies against Dragon Ridge!”
Narrowing his eyes, Luo Feng frowned, “But this place is not suitable for a burial! The dragon energy converges from all directions, attracting the forces of heaven and earth!”
‘Why is it not suitable for burial?” someone asked.
“Isn’t it the emperor’s pattern with nine dragons, dragon energy, and heaven and earth?” another inquired.
“Yes, it seems like a grand pattern, perhaps even greater than the tomb of Zhao Gao?” suggested someone else.
Luo Feng shook his head, “This place is not suitable for burial because its fengshui is too good—so good that it shares longevity with heaven and earth!
This is a symbol of national fortune!”
“What the heck!” one person exclaimed.
“What does that even mean?” asked another.
“National fortune?” someone else wondered, puzzled.
Everyone was stunned by Luo Feng’s revelation.
“Is it because the fengshui is too good that we need to suppress it with gold?” Su Meiji suggested.
“It cannot be suppressed! Excellent fengshui does not necessarily make it suitable for burial! This place is more fitting as a site for an imperial ritual!” Luo Feng explained. “Even the most powerful emperors would be unable to suppress it!”
The more Luo Feng looked, the more amazed he became. To think he had actually discovered an area with such exceptional fengshui.
“Is this fengshui good or bad, then?” someone inquired.
“Of course, it’s good— Extremely good, in fact! Or perhaps it’s a case of things going to the extreme and reversing?” another person speculated.
“So as long as we don’t bury anyone here, it’s fine? Is that what you mean?” asked someone else.
Luo Feng ignored their questions and continued studying the mountain’s shape. If there were indeed ancient tombs, they would likely be located where the dragon energy converged in the mountains. However, it was also possible that some amateur fengshui masters had mistakenly buried tombs in this area..
