โOnly children make choices; if I were the host, I would choose them all!โ
โMy goodness! Both at once? Wouldnโt that break the hostโs back?โ
โHahaha, whatโs there to be afraid of? We can always soak some goji berries in a thermos!โ
โThatโs right! With such beauties, Li Bai once said, โWe must seize lifeโs pleasures to the full! Drink wine today, for tomorrow we may die!โ Are you afraid of emptiness? Then donโt pursue girls, especially beautiful ones like these.โ
Luo Feng led everyone and quickly arrived at the spot filled with treasure markers.
They began digging from the outermost marked point. However, after only half an hour of digging, they saw a helicopter overhead.
Since there was no landing area in the mountains, they could only lower a large net filled with backpacks and equipment from the archaeological team. Several people, secured by safety ropes, also descended from the helicopter, holding onto the ropes.
โMaster Gu?โ Luo Feng glanced over and recognized an old acquaintance, initially thinking it was another wealthy person trying to snatch the treasure.
โLittle Luo, are you still digging?โ
โYes, Master Gu. Our beautiful Miss Su claims that there is excellent feng Shui here. So, I decided to dig and see!โ Luo Feng replied with a grin.
โMiss Su understands feng shui?โ
โOf course! Look at who her master is. A great teacher produces outstanding students โ thereโs truth in that saying.โ Luo Feng boasted, then pointed at the mountain peak behind him,
โThere are seven ancient tombs back there, and the coffins havenโt been opened yet. I figured since youโre getting paid by the government and have nothing to do all day, Iโd tind you some work.โ
โYou little rascal, what kind of talk is that? What do you mean โgetting paid by the government and doing nothing all dayโ?โ Although the official archaeological team was indeed quite idle, there must have been a better way to phrase it. Luo Feng was probably the only one who could get away with saying something like that. Otherwise, if the national archaeological teams heard this, the boy would be drowned in saliva as teams across the nation would curse incessantly at him.
However, with the speed at which Luo Feng was discovering treasures, all the national archaeological teams would have to treat him like a revered ancestor. โHaha, just kidding. If youโre interested, you can work overtime tonight. If youโre not busy, you can start tomorrow morning!โ Luo Feng suggested.
โWe will definitely go now! Weโll take a half-hour break and then set off!โ Gu Santong said and added, โOf course, no matter what we find inside, itโs all yours, and it will always be yours!โ Gu Santong glanced at the many treasure hunters in the mountains who seemed to have found nothing but were in high spirits.
โEnough talking, letโs go!โ Luo Feng did not pay too much attention to these competing treasure hunters. After all, a burial site might have at most one million worth of burial items, and if that were the case, he would not even bother competing for them. They could do whatever they wanted.
On Gu Santongโs end, after opening the coffins later on, he found that the burial items were similar to those that Luo Feng had discovered: some pottery jars with inscriptions from Xianyang. Generally, the coffins were the most valuable part of the collection, while the burial items themselves were just trivial. Nonetheless, more than a dozen archaeologists were still enthusiastically studying them, not at all put off by the scarcity of the burial items.
On the other side, Luo Feng continued digging. After a few shovelfuls, he examined the soil and laughed, saying, โBrothers, this time, there is truly a large tomb beneath us!โ
โA large tomb? How can you tell?โ
โHere it comes, the hostโs secret feng Shui technique! Everyone, take out your notebooks and start taking notes!โ
โDamn it, heโs looking at the soil texture. What does this have to do with feng shui? Iโm truly impressed by you clueless people.โ
โLooking at the soil texture is separate from feng shui; this is called science.โ
Luo Feng squatted down and asked, โDo any of you recognize this type of soil?โ
โI only know three types of soil: loess, black soil, and white clouds.โ
โDamn, are white clouds soil?โ
โYes, they are, Sister Dan Dan!โ
โThis soil? It seems to have many colors, doesnโt it?โ Luo Feng laughed and said, โYou donโt recognize this? This is Wuhua soil!โ
โIn the archaeological or tomb-robbing world 20 years ago, there was a saying, โPractice brings true Imowledge.โ Any superficial judgment is less reliable than actual action. To find a burial site, examining the soil is crucial. Thatโs why, at the beginning of this century, the โSoil Masterโ (tomb robber) from Nanhu invented a marvelous tool called the โLuoyang Shovelโ to effectively detect underground soil layers.โ
Through this tool, you can investigate the underground soil conditions and determine the soil grade. The quality of the underground soil becomes apparent. If the soil dug up contains โWuhua soil,โ it means thereโs likely a tomb beneath.โ
Luo Feng continued, holding up the Wuhua soil in his hand, โWhat is Wuhua soil? Itโs a soil layer containing a mix of gypsum, metal, wood, cinnabar, mercury, and limestone. In addition, during the digging process, you can effectively judge the underground conditions by assessing the force exerted on the shovelโs bottom. Experienced experts or tomb robbers can tell whether theyโve encountered a rock or a coffin based on the force at the bottom of the shovel.โ
โHow can I put it? Although modern archaeology has various detection devices, sometimes these โstandard devicesโ are no more effective than a tomb robberโs experience. After all, their experience is the culmination of wisdom handed down over thousands of years.โ
After Luo Feng finished speaking, the barrage of comments in the livestream soared. However, very few people truly understood his words. โAlthough I only partially understood, it still seems reasonable!โ โKnowledge changes destiny; this is true for every profession!โ
