“Good morning, brothers!” Luo Feng greeted, scanning over the wealthy youths assembled at the foot of the mountain behind him.
Several were locals from the Northeast, including the daughter of a renowned sketch comedy actor. Anywhere else, her presence would be overpowering, but among Luo Feng’s group of affluent heirs , her aura was somewhat diminished.
“Are we genuinely at Changbai Mountain, Streamer? Is this really Changbai Mountain?”
“Do you need glasses? If this isn’t Changbai Mountain, then what else could it
“I recognize this place; it’s a hotel at the base of Changbai Mountain, I’ve stayed here before!”
“I’m fortunate to have shared a hotel with the host!”
“What’s the host’s aim at Changbai Mountain? Is he hunting for Sima Yi’s tomb?”
Upon hearing this, Luo Feng couldn’t suppress his laughter.
As expected.
Following a casual encounter with tourists at the airport, the news of his Changbai Mountain expedition had spread like wildfire.
“I heard there’s plenty of wild ginseng at Changbai Mountain. I came to see if I could dig up some,” Luo Feng responded jovially.
“Host, are you serious?”
“Surely, your current status wouldn’t satisfy with merely digging for ginseng.” “You probably wouldn’t even bother digging up blue and white porcelain!”
“So, tell us, could Sima Yi’s tomb be here at Changbai Mountain?”
“Host, your lottery prizes are wild ginseng, I find it hard to believe that you’d take an interest in such trivial matters!”
Hearing everyone’s doubts, Luo Feng shook his head and countered, “The likelihood of Sima Yi’s tomb being at Changbai Mountain is slim. But why am I
here, you ask? What else could I be up to? Naturally, I’m treasure hunting!” Their conversation flowed freely as they journeyed onwards.
Before long, Luo Feng led the group to the true base of Changbai Mountain. What they had previously referred to as the base was merely a general area.
They were still quite distant from the actual mountains.
But now, they were close enough that they could barely distinguish the body of Changbai Mountain. They had reached the true foothills.
Luo Feng activated the scan.
Hundreds of treasure markers scattered sporadically nearby.
Throughout the journey, Luo Feng would occasionally dig, revealing the frozen-hard soil beneath. But to Luo Feng, a seasoned treasure hunter, even the toughest terrain posed no threat.
That afternoon, Luo Feng unearthed only a few young ginseng roots, too juvenile to be harvested.
In what seemed like the blink of an eye, Luo Feng and his group had spent six days in Changbai Mountain, venturing deep into its mountainous region.
Not far from their position was Baiyun Peak, the second highest summit of Changbai Mountain, towering nearly 2,700 meters high.
Online, speculation was rife about Luo Feng’s potential discovery of Sima Yi’s tomb. Some even presented his journey to Liaodong records, supporting their theories with logical reasoning.
However, the primary focus of these debates was the claim that Sima Yi’s tomb certainly contained “The Art of Sima,” “Three Deathbed Commandments,” and an extensive collection of invaluable calligraphy from the Three Kingdoms period.
The “Three Deathbed Commandments” detailed the many contributions Sima Yi made to Cao Wei in his role as a deathbed minister.
The majority of surviving calligraphy from the Wei and Jin dynasties exist as stone inscriptions.
No paper copies have survived.
However, at the time of Sima Yi’s death, record keeping transitioned from carving to paper, suggesting the likely survival of paper copies of the “Three
Deathbed Commandments.”
Discovering Sima Yi’s “Three Deathbed Commandments” would undoubtedly invigorate the Chinese calligraphy world.
“The Art of Sima” is a remarkable treatise, detailing not only strategies for leading soldiers in battle but also effective methods for winning hearts and minds.
It expounds on the art of administrative struggles and power tactics. The rumors whipped up excitement as if Luo Feng could genuinely unearth these treasures.
How captivating!
Many, convinced by these rumors, braved the harsh weather and descended on Changbai Mountain.
“I’ve read that article; it offers thorough analysis. There’s validity to it. The tomb of Sima Yi could indeed be in the Northeast, right?”
“With the streamer here, the tomb of Sima Yi must be in the Northeast. Why else would he come here? Would he venture into unknown territory without any assurances?”
“Those suggesting it’s in Changbai Mountain lack common sense. It’s simply not feasible!”
“Old Luo’s presence at Changbai Mountain is probably a decoy. He’ll subtly diverge from here and seek out the real tomb of Sima Yi!”
“Hahaha, do you truly believe Old Luo is so crafty? Creating a smokescreen?”
Faced with the barrage of cynical comments from netizens, Luo Feng was dumbstruck. Was this the typical demeanor of the current generation? What unsettled him more was their assumption that he was up to no good.
He could only shake his head in silent dismay.
Taking a sip of his hot beverage, Luo Feng initiated another scan.
Moments later, about a hundred treasure markers appeared nearby.
As Luo Feng traversed the area, he found a variety of medicinal herbs.
But then…
Suddenly…
His hoe struck something, the feedback numbing his hand with the vibration. Luo Feng knew instantly that he had discovered something far more significant than an herb….
