Immediately, Luo Feng headed toward the spot where the coffin should have been placed. He had just found out that something seemed to be buried beneath.

Luo Feng was determined to investigate.

So far, the Qin Dynasty tomb appeared quite peculiar.

It did not resemble a typical royal tomb at all.

“Luo Feng, have you discovered anything?” Su Meiji asked as she noticed Luo Feng looking down at the ground and raising his head repeatedly.

“Do you not feel that this spot should be where the coffin is placed? However, there is no coffin here!” Luo Feng replied with a faint smile.

“Oh, indeed. How did I not notice that?”

“Maybe they didn’t have time to bury it?”

“What was Luo looking at on the ground?”

“Could it be a tomb without a body? Hence, no coffin was arranged?” “That’s foolish! Even without a body, there should be a cenotaph!”

“Perhaps they couldn’t find the clothes and the tomb owner’s related items, so they didn’t bother with a coffin?”

“This explanation does not make sense. No matter what, there should be a coffin.”

“What about the auspicious qi from the east? Is this place’s layout against the heavens? I think it looks rather shabby!” “Is it still shabby even with the Terracotta Army?” Everyone was puzzled.

What did it mean for the tomb to have no coffin?

However, they could only wait for Luo Feng to unravel the mystery.

“The soil beneath is not very hard; I think something is buried down here!” Luo Feng said as he stomped on the ground.

“Indeed, it is not as hard as the other compacted soil!” Su Meiji crouched down, gently pierced the ground with a shovel, and managed to break through a few centimeters. “Right!”

Luo Feng nodded.

Since it was not a floor tile, they began to dig.

Although it was not as hard as regular soil, it was still much harder than a vegetable garden.

Digging proved to be quite laborious.

“Whoa, is there something else below?”

“Is the streamer about to make a fortune again?”

“Why were these ancient people so peculiar? Why do they always like playing hide and seek?”

“No matter how well hidden their treasures are, as long as the host is on their case takes action, everything will eventually be revealed!”

The buried object was not deep.

In about ten minutes, they had reached it.

With a thud, the surrounding soil collapsed a bit.

The system’s prompt arrived immediately. “Ding! You found gold! Worth 60 million!”

Huh?

How could it be gold?

Was this a joke?

Luo Fenq looked at the collapsed soil and used his foot to step on it, causinq it to continue collapsing without even having to dig.

In no time, the pit’s area expanded.

After shoveling up the collapsed soil.

Upon seeing the gold below, Luo Feng’s eyelids twitched.

He had thought it would be gold bars or that there would be a box.

But…

This was a… Huge gold chunk about several dozen centimeters across.

“Whoa! Gold! Gold!”

“Such a large piece of gold?”

“Is this a gold mine? How could it be so big?” “What gold mine? Would your gold mine have gold in chunks?”

“Heh, have you ever heard of natural gold?”

“Natural gold isn’t in chunks either!”

At that moment, Luo Feng crouched down and tapped the massive gold piece.

He found it to be solid.

Since it was solid and gold has a high density, this was roughly a 200-pound gold chunk.

The folks from ancient times really knew how to have fun.

What did it mean that there was no coffin here, but instead such a large piece of gold?

Of course, based on the current gold price.

A 200 -pound gold piece would only be worth approximately 30 million.

However, the system’s evaluation was 60 million, doubling the value.

This indicated that it had unique antique properties.

“Everyone’s oxygen tanks are running out; let’s head back up first!” Luo Feng inspected the surrounding walls, trying not to miss any details, but they were running out of oxygen.

“Let’s go! We’ll talk once we’re back up!”

Su Meiji nodded in agreement.

Subsequently, everyone left the burial items untouched. Since they had already been discovered and someone was guarding the area, no one would come to steal them.

Exiting the tomb passage and following the ropes, they climbed up, taking about ten minutes in total.

“These snake holes were clearly made by the tomb owner during construction, providing an environment for the snakes to thrive. Otherwise, the upper part of the well’s mouth would not be made of stone, while the lower part was made of earth. It is likely that the venomous snakes were released by the tomb owner, and after generations of living here, they multiplied. The purpose was to block the life gate, fake the death gate, and deter tomb robbers.”

Luo Feng looked at the snake holes and suddenly thought of the piercing hall winds one kilometer away and the bears that lived there.

Upon careful consideration, he felt that these occurrences were not a coincidence.

In addition to keeping snakes, the tomb owner also raised some black bears.

And they deliberately chose a location near the piercing hall winds?

Everything indicated protection and deception tactics against tomb robbers… Indeed.

Luo Feng was truly grateful to this cunning tomb owner; otherwise, the area would likely be full of thief holes when he returned.

Keeping black bears for protection, releasing venomous snakes, and having the ominous fengshui nearby?

All of this showed the tomb owner’s intentions, but who was he?

Logically speaking, during the Qin dynasty, there would have been many princes and ministers in this area.

But such a fengshui layout was not something a prince or minister could possibly acquire.

Only an emperor could be buried here.

Because their virtue did not match their status.

However, upon entering the ancient tomb, Luo Feng was surprised to find how incredibly simple the tomb was,

The whole setup was extremely unreasonable.

After the reforms of Shang Yang were implemented by Duke Xiao of Qin, the Qin state had always been a powerful nation. If it were an emperor’s tomb, it would not be such a shabby burial site..
