Soon after, the scanning had concluded.
Gazing at the hill in front of him, which glittered with gold, Luo Feng knew he had identified the correct location. Furthermore, that hill was indeed the authentic fifth peak. It seemed that the ancient Liu Bowen had truly flattened a mountain, altering the area’s geomantic layout. How ruthlessly shrewd those emperors must have been to believe such things.
“Old Luo, did you actually find Sima Yi’s tomb?” one viewer asked.
“We’ve been searching for days, frantically, and we’ve received no information!”
“Were we tricked into coming here just to admire the view?”
Considering Luo Feng’s current situation, many believed the tomb of Sima Yi was unfindable, suspecting that the clues given by Zhuge Liang were mere deceptions. Yet, some held faith, reasoning that if Zhuge Liang left clues, they couldn’t be lies.
Luo Feng paid them no mind and arrived at the scanned hill after about half an hour. Based on the display of the treasure markers, the ancient tomb should be in the shape of the Chinese character The tomb passage was approximately fifty meters long, which was rather modest for a person like Sima Yi who had real control over Cao Wei.
However, this place was in Liaodong, and it was not an easy task to build a tomb in such a distant location, where human and material resources were far more constrained. If one were to build a larger tomb and even further away, it would exhaust even more resources.
Luo Feng was also curious about one thing. What were all these markers underneath the tomb indicating? Theoretically, Liu Bowen, with his skill level, should have detected the tomb after finding the dragon vein and severing it.
Based on his abilities, he should have known it was Sima Yi’s tomb. Given Sima
Yi’s rank, who could resist the temptation to dig it up? Especially for Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang, who needed money, and considering Sima Yi had always had a bad reputation, anyone who found his tomb would want to dig it up. Or could it be that there was nothing valuable in Sima Yi’s tomb?
“Luo Feng, what are you digging for?” someone asked after Luo Feng began excavating.
“We’ve already dug more than a meter. There shouldn’t be any treasures here, should there?” Qin Rubing spoke up.
“Heh, I think there’s definitely something beneath. Let’s continue digging!” Luo Feng didn’t elaborate, and everyone continued digging.
An hour later, they had dug quite a large area. However, everyone felt something was amiss. They had been digging for so long and found nothing. This was unlike Luo Feng’s usual style.
But just as Luo Feng was enthusiastically digging, the other treasure hunters following him realized what was going on.
“Listen up, everyone. Luo Feng is digging over there. Sima Yi’s tomb might be underneath!”
“Old Luo hasn’t dug it up yet. We should hurry over. Whoever digs it up first gets it!”
“I have doubts. Look, Old Luo has been digging for quite some time, and it seems like he hasn’t found anything!”
“That’s right. Old Luo mentioned before that he wasn’t confident he could find
Sima Yi’s tomb.”
“Regardless of you guys believing my theory or not, I’m going. Old Luo has been digging for so long without giving up. There must be something valuable underneath!”
After hearing the news, a large group of people hurried towards Luo Feng. Some even suggested renting a helicopter to get there faster.
However, just at that moment, Luo Feng hit something hard. It was stone.
[ Ding! You have dug up a stele worth 10 million, Ming Dynasty property! ]
“What the hell!” Luo Feng furrowed his brow. This was unbelievable. Another Ming artifact? Was Sima Yi from the Ming Dynasty or the Three Kingdoms period?
Despite his confusion, Luo Feng did not halt his progress and pulled out the stele. After cleaning the mud off it, he read the dense line of characters. “In his prime, he wielded power without illness or hindrance, commanded strong armies without servility… The Sima family usurped the throne, established the great Ming, and fixed the nation’s fate!”
Upon reading the text, Luo Feng pursed his lips. The classical Chinese on the stele essentially accused Sima Yi of usurping the throne. None of the words were complimentary.
Liu Bowen must have been quite a character, not just for severing the dragon vein but also for listing over a hundred charges against Sima Yi on the stele.
“Holy crap, is this stele Liu Bowen’s work?”
“How did you know that?”
“Yeah, how did you know?”
“Are you blind? The signature at the bottom is Liu Bowen’s. It’s definitely about severing the dragon vein given what the broadcaster said earlier!”
“It’s not just likely, the stele explicitly talks about severing the dragon vein and
Sima Yi’s illegitimate rise to power!”
“Could the tomb underneath be Sima Yi’s?”
“This stele is quite imposing!”
After reading the characters on the stele, Luo Feng continued to dig and said, “Now do you believe I wasn’t tricking you? Indeed, Sima Yi’s tomb was hard to find. Had Liu Bowen not altered the geomancy, we should have found it days ago.”
“The truth is there really is a dragon vein here at Qianshan, not a false one. It’s
Liu Bowen who flattened a mountain!”
“The reason why Qianshan is called Qianshan is because it has a thousand peaks.. However, the records of later generations and the official information claims that there are only 999 peaks!”
