As A Trash Collector, I Collected A Imperial Jade Seal

202 The Ming Dynasty Golden Lock! A Gold Dragon! Is the Treasure Hidden in a Cave? (2)

“I am certain there is a third treasure site hidden within Dalong Mountain!”

Ding!

[ You have dug up a Ming dynasty jade ornament! Worth 350 thousand yuan!

Ignoring the notification, Luo Feng bent down, cleared the soil around him, and plucked out a jade ornament. The material was Hetian jade, similar in quality to the 1-million-yuan jade piece he had found the day before. However, the craftsmanship was not as exquisite as the 1-million-yuan piece, reducing its value significantly.

!!

Of course, Luo Feng did not care whether the jade was worth 300 thousand or 1 million yuan; his concern was how to use his latest discoveries to locate the third treasure site of the rebel king.

As the three words, “stone cliff rapids” echoed in his mind, Luo Feng fell into deep contemplation. Yet, after searching numerous places within the mountains, he was unable to find a spot that corresponded to the verse.

“Is this another ancient jade ornament?” asked a viewer.

“It seems that ancient people did come here!” another person exclaimed.

“Since they’re antiques here, then this must be the path to the hidden treasure!”

“Has the host not yet determined the location of the third treasure site?”

Luo Feng shook his head and replied, “It is difficult to analyze its location at the moment. All I can say is that if there is a treasure, at least we are heading in the right direction. Along the way, there have been some hemp ropes and bronze coins, which I suspect have spilled out of the chests that the rebel king and his men were carrying around.”

They were definitely on the right track.

All that was left was to continue searching as they moved forward.

By around 5:30 in the evening, Luo Feng had taken a break after eating some food and sat under a large tree. As the sun set, the orange glow covered the entire mountain, including the towering peak in front of him. However, despite its proximity, it was still several kilometers, if not dozens of kilometers, away.

Wait a minute, he thought.

Stone cliff rapids? Rather than rocks, perhaps they are referring to mountains instead?

Or perhaps a cave within the mountains?

Could the final treasure be hidden in a cave? This thought excited Luo Feng, but he did not rush off immediately. It was already evening, and it was better to wait until the next day before continuing his search.

The next morning, Luo Feng woke up at around 6 a.m. and called the wealthy scions to start the livestream.

“Wow! The host is up early today! Did those other mountain-goers annoy the host? Perhaps he wants to get ahead of them and shake them off?”

“There’s nothing he can do. This mountain is not his; unlike last time with the pond, he cannot completely take it over. All he has this time is a foraging permit.”

“Did those randos even obtain a permit? Or did they just start digging as soon as they arrived?”

“They have no authority. If the objects they find are worth a few thousand or ten thousand yuan, the government will not care. But if they find objects worth millions or billions of yuan, they must surrender them.”

“Haha! The government wouldn’t bother with small fry like that, right?”

“If it were me, I would block the road at the foot of the mountain and search everyone who enters!”

“In that case, I’d bury it in the mountain and come back for it later! Hahaha!”

Luo Feng was not worried about the Dalong Mountain folks who were tailing him.

After all, they did not share his cheat.

He activated his level-three scanning ability, and nothing within a one-kilometer radius could escape his detection.

[ Ding! You have found an energy drink! ]

[ Ding! You have found a super energy drink! ]

[ Ding! Insect repellent! ]

[ Ding! Antique from the Ming dynasty! Valued at 2 million yuan! ]

Most of the items Luo Feng had dug out were props, however, at the very end, he had dug up an item worth over 2 million!

However, since he had yet to see the full appearance of the object, Luo Feng could not confirm what it was. Nevertheless, through the feedback he received from the hoe’s tremors, it was most likely made of metal rather than jade.

“What the heck? Did the host find something else?”

“Indeed he has!”

“Has the host unearthed another antique?”

“From the sound, is it a stone? Or perhaps a large piece of iron?”

Luo Feng quickly dug out the item and saw that it had a handle. It was a large, golden lock!

“Wow!”

“(⊙o⊙)…”

“What is this?”

“This is amazing, host! This must have been taken from the imperial palace, right?”

“To reach this place, it must have been taken from the rebel king’s stash!”

“I can now confirm that there is still another rebel king treasure site hidden within Dalong Mountain!”

“Isn’t this a long life lock from ancient times?”

“It says so right there, what else could it be if not a long life lock?”

“It seems to be made of gold and has exquisite craftsmanship. It should be worth a lot.”

Luo Feng gave the golden lock to Brother An to safeguard before continuing deeper into the mountain, saying, “Just because it came from the palace doesn’t mean it was stolen or looted. During the Ming dynasty’s Dragon Boat Festival, the emperor would also grant blessings to his officials, personally bestowing such things as a Ruyi scepter, a longevity lock, a bag of fragrant fortune characters, and other items. The longevity lock should have been granted to some old senior officials or children and is generally not commonly seen.”

But whether it was stolen or looted from the palace or granted by the emperor, none of them were simple items, and they all had high value. A longevity lock like this one, valued at 2 million yuan, was quite normal.

“Holy sh*t! The host seems to have dug up something again!”

“It’s a big golden lock!”

“Damn, I wish I had found it!”

...

“He woke up so early today!”

“He probably wants to leave us behind and get rich alone, without even saying goodbye!”

“Let’s catch up quickly! We don’t want him to find all the treasures by himself!”

“I still haven’t figured out what the three characters ‘Stone cliff rapids’ mean! I’ve been looking through ancient books all night!”

“We don’t have to understand it. As long as the host understands, we just need to follow him!”

With their lack of thinking, how could they possibly understand those three words?

Even Luo Feng had a hard time figuring it out, and he was still not certain if his hypothesis from the previous day was right on the money.

Luo Feng spent the morning trekking deeper into the mountains, covering about 5 kilometers.

Apart from finding the longevity lock, he also discovered two pieces of jade worth tens of thousands of yuan, scattered copper coins, broken porcelain bowl pieces, shoes, and hemp ropes, among other things.

Luo Feng suspected that these items were left behind by a large team that had carried the treasure into the mountains. He was also getting closer to the mountain peak he had seen yesterday.

After having lunch, Luo Feng did not rest for long before setting out again. The Dalong treasure hunters were also tailing closely behind.

...

Luo Feng admired their perseverance. They had followed him for more than ten kilometers in the mountains over the past two days, and their clothes were mostly torn and covered in dirt and bloodstains from thorns.

Of course, the reason they refused to give up was simple: Luo Feng was constantly finding new treasures, which made them believe that they too could discover treasures. Once they found the rebel king’s stash, they would become rich beyond their wildest imaginations, as even a single chest of gold, silver, and jewelry that Luo Feng had found previously could make them financially set for life.

Alas, they did not share Luo Feng’s cheats, so how could they possibly hope to outdig Luo Feng?
