Barely visible, there lay a skeleton inside, bent at the knees and lying on its side. Beside the skeleton were two coarse clay pots filled with soil, which could hardly be considered as fine artifacts.

“What kind of grave is this? An emperor’s tomb?”

“Are you trying to be funny?”

“Why is the skeleton in this position?”

“Are these broken pots supposed to be burial offerings?

“Hey, Old Luo, you didn’t accidentally dig up a local villager’s grave, did you?”

Luo Feng laughed helplessly, “A villager from the foot of the mountain could have a tomb that lasts for thousands of years? This is a genuine ancient tomb from the pre-Qin period!”

“Pre-Qin period? Spring and Autumn, Warring States, or the Zhou dynasty?”

“Can any grave be considered an ancient tomb?”

Everyone was at a loss for words. A dilapidated coffin and broken pots, could this really be an ancient tomb? Where was the sign of it being a tomb?

“Guys, not all ancient burials are grand in scale. Are you saying that commoners don’t deserve to be buried?” Luo Feng rolled his eyes.

“These ceramics can prove that this is from the pre-Qin period. See? The inscriptions are in small seal script!”

Luo Feng picked up one of the clay pots and examined it. “The characters on this pot seem to be from Xianting village… Maybe it belonged to a resident from that time? These three characters are the name of a place!”

After handing the ceramic to Brother An, Luo Feng explained, “See this skeleton bent at the knees and lying on its side? This should be a flexed burial from the pre-Qin period… Flexed burials are one of China’s ancient funerary forms. Its main feature is that the deceased’s limbs are bent so that the lower limbs are curled up, and then the body is buried in the tomb pit.”

“Compared to the extended burials, flexed burials refer to the posture of the body after death. It is a peculiar phenomenon in the history of Chinese culture, especially in the history of Chinese burial systems. However, the origin, prevalence, time, and region, as well as its meaning, remain long-standing unresolved questions.”

In essence, the skeleton looks to be in a fetal position.

“Where’s the grand tomb you promised? What’s the point of digging this up?”

“Indeed, what about the incredible feng Shui you mentioned? Didn’t you say that there might be a possibility of an emperor’s tomb emerging? Well, is this what you call an emperor’s tomb!?”

“Hahaha! Perhaps a king of a small kingdom? Not an emperor?”

“Are these clay pots valuable?”

Luo Feng shook his head, “Not really. These pots, aside from deducing the era of the tomb owner, have little significance. In the market, they’re worth tens of thousands at most.”

Luo Feng glanced at the other scattered treasure points. Even if there were ancient tombs, they would only be ordinary people’s burial sites. The only thing to look forward to was the treasure point under the magnificent central peak.

“Professor Gu Santong, I found a pre-Qin burial site here. Are you interested in coming over by plane to take a look?” Luo Feng took out his phone and called Gu Santong.

“Oh? How big is it? Pre-Qin?”

“About 2 meters long and half a meter wide.”

“Uh… have you dug it up already?”

“Yes!” “Alright then, I’ll send someone over.”

“You’re sending someone? You’re not coming yourself?”

“I’m busy!” “What if I say there are other grand tombs?”

“Really?”

“Really! Don’t you trust me?”

“Well, then, this changes things. I’m not busy anymore…”

“Shishi, Miss Su, it is getting late. Let us rest for now and continue digging tomorrow! There must be a large tomb here. With this kind of geomancy pattern, unless the people of the ancient times were blind, it is impossible for there not to be a large tomb buried here!”

“Even if no one discovered this good feng Shui pattern for a hundred years, eventually, someone would find it after five hundred years and choose to bury a tomb here!”

After Luo Feng finished speaking, he decisively ended the livestream. Of course, he expected that many people would come to the mountains with shovels tomorrow.

Due to this, Luo Feng had to notify the villagers from his hometown and the Shuitang Village, and have Luo Yun and Huang Tianba bring people to keep watch.

The next day, Luo Feng awoke naturally in his tent. Since he had gone to bed at ten o’clock, eight hours of rest was about enough. Glancing at the campsite, he saw that only a few of the wealthy second-generation youths were up, but Su Meiji was already dressed and ready. It must be said that professional women usually have a nine-to-five routine, they were always punctual.

After waking everyone up, they ate breakfast.

Luo Feng then picked up his Swallowtail Hoe and headed towards the spot they had been digging the previous day.

“Old Luo, why you are so diligent?! Is there really a large tomb underneath here?”

“Starting the livestream at six or seven in the morning? I’m not even fully awake yet!”

“The early bird catches the worm! Of course, we have to get up early, right, Shishi?” Luo Feng said with a mischievous smile, glancing at Li Shishi.

“Especially for you girls, waking up early is the only way to catch the worm!”

“Huh?” Li Shishi did not understand at first, but when she realized what he meant, she immediately began playfully hitting the scoundrel. However, she was secretly delighted. Typically, a girl’s reaction to a boy’s teasing depends on who the person was.

If they do not like the boy, they will definitely call him disgusting. If they like the boy, they will be overjoyed. Moreover, girls tend to be six times more interested in such topics than men. They actually enjoy these conversations, but it depends on the person they were conversing with.

For those they are comfortable with, they will not get angry or even be quite happy.

For the rest of the day, Luo Feng planned to excavate the areas marked with seven or eight treasure points. Based on the analysis of yesterday’s finds, these were likely small tombs.

With yesterday’s experience, the newly joined local second-generation rich kids were much more efficient.

With a thud, Li Shishi made a discovery.

Luo Feng looked forward and saw: [ Ding! Ancient tomb! Worth 600,000! ]

[ Dynasty: Pre-Qin Period! ]

“I found it! I found it!” Li Shishi excitedly shouted. This was her first time discovering something significant.

Her excitement was palpable.

“Did our cute little Shishi find something? Is it a big rock?” “Is it another ancient tomb? Or perhaps tomb bricks?”

“How can a pre-Qin tomb contain bricks?”

“It is possible, but the scale would not be large. The population was too small during that time! Large tombs are hard to come by.”

Seeing Li Shishi so happy, Luo Feng smiled and said, “Indeed, it is an ancient tomb, but we do not need to waste our time on it. It might be similar to yesterday’s find. Let’s leave it to the archaeological team to handle it!”

“Ah? I see…” Li Shishi looked a bit disappointed, thinking she had accomplished something great.

However, it did not matter.

Whether she accomplished something or not was irrelevant. The most important thing was to win over her heartthrob.

“Wow! You’re just giving it up? So generous! Letting the archaeological team take over?”

“Don’t do that, host! What if something valuable comes up? Won’t you suffer a great loss?”

“With a tomb like this, not belonging to royalty or nobility, what kind of valuable burial items could there possibly be in store?”

“Maybe just a few ceramic jars! The coffin itself is probably the most valuable part!”

An hour later, another ancient tomb with seven or eight treasure dots was found.

And then, there was a fourth one…

Around six in the afternoon, with a thud… [ You have discovered an ancient tomb. ]

All seven ancient tombs had been excavated.

Luo Feng had not missed a single one.

Although their values were not high, Luo Feng’s feng Shui analysis had still attracted many viewers.

After all, people enjoyed watching the excavation of Pre-Qin tombs. “This host is amazing! He really found ancient tombs using feng shui? All seven of them?”

“Can any professionals tell me the host’s level of feng Shui skill? What rank is

“Is he as awesome as Hu Bayi?”

“Hahaha, I will never doubt the host’s ability to find my family’s ancestral graves again!”

“I want to learn feng Shui to dig up my ex-girlfriend’s family graves!”

Seeing that it was still early, Luo Feng decided to continue digging, and he begun heading towards the next treasure point….
