Another Tomb Below? A Tomb within a Tomb? (2)

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Luo Feng was at a loss for words.

How could this be happening?

Luo Feng simply could not understand how there could be a Ming Dynasty tomb underneath a Tang Dynasty tomb. After all, the chances of a tomb being located beneath another tomb were extremely slim. Although this phenomenon had occurred in history, it was truly a rare occurrence.

The key question was, why would there be a Ming Dynasty tomb under the Tang Dynasty tomb? Even if there had been a Qin Dynasty tomb or a tomb from the pre-Qin period under the Tang tomb, Luo Feng would not have found it surprising. It was possible that this area had good Feng Shui, and pre-Qin period tombs were first buried here, followed by the Tang Dynasty tombs.

However, the tomb owners from the pre-Qin period had dug deep, while the Tang Dynasty dug less deeply, unaware that there were already burials in the area. But even so, when the Tang Dynasty people were digging, they should have realized that the ground had been previously disturbed by human activity.

All these factors made the presence of a tomb beneath another tomb a rare occurrence. It could only have happened under a series of coincidences, after all.

Due to this, the fact that there was a Ming Dynasty tomb underneath a Tang Dynasty tomb was truly baffling.

“Could it be some kind of tectonic movement that brought the two tombs together?”

“But… These tombs could only be a little over a thousand years apart. How could the movement be so significant?”

“It’s not like it’s a fossil that’s hundreds of millions of years old!”

At that moment, Luo Feng decided to stop pondering the mystery and continued digging instead.

It was evident that the object he had just uncovered with a clang was not a large bluestone slab but rather a smooth, light-blue brick-like object. “Goodness, it’s not a large bluestone slab! ” someone exclaimed.

“It’s a stone box!”

“Did the host really dig up something valuable?”

“How come the tomb raiders didn’t take this with them?”

Upon seeing the stone brick box, everyone’s reaction was that Luo Feng had discovered yet another treasure.

“This isn’t a stone box. It’s a tomb brick! I think there’s an ancient tomb beneath this!” Luo Feng announced.

As soon as he said this, it caused a great stir in his chat. “What? There’s a tomb underneath? You must be joking!”

“A tomb within a tomb?”

Luo Feng nodded, “Though it may sound incredible that these two tombs are only a few meters apart, I’m confident this is the case!”

With that, Luo Feng continued excavating. At this point, manv archaeological teams across the country began to take notice of the extraordinary discovery. Such an occurrence was extremely rare, even on a national scale.

“The host’s luck is incredible!”

“Who would have thought that there would be a tomb within a tomb in a collapsed area with treasure?”

By 6 pm, Luo Feng stopped digging for the day and took everyone out for dinner. As the sky darkened, Luo Feng received a phone call from Gu Santong.

“Hello, Mr. Gil?”

“Yes, I can confirm that there should be a tomb within a tomb down there!”

“Alright, you can come over if you want. After all, the tomb below is bound to be larger than Yuan Zai’s tomb!”

Luo Feng spoke into the phone while Gu Santong also understood that such a tomb was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and decided to lead his team to the site in person.

“The structure of the tomb below has been almost determined!”

“After digging at different points, we found the tomb’s ceiling at varying depths! There’s only one explanation: the tomb below has an arched structure! ”

“Furthermore, although we haven’t excavated enough to determine the exact dynasty of the tomb below, I have already made a preliminary guess!” “However, it’s just a guess. You can consider my analysis, but it might not be accurate!”

Luo Feng continued, “Another thing worth adding is that the tomb below might be a Ming Dynasty tomb!”

Upon hearing this, the people in the livestream chat immediately became agitated.

“What? Ming Dynasty? Are you serious?”

“Huh!? I thought it was a modern tomb!”

“Ming Dynasty? Are you sure you’re not joking, host? We could guess that the tomb below is from before the Tang Dynasty, but it definitely shouldn’t be after the Tang Dynasty, right? After all, the Tang Dynasty tomb could only have been built on top if it came later, right?”

“Exactly, what kind of logic leads to the conclusion that there’s a Ming Dynasty tomb below?”

“Unless the Tang Dynasty tomb is fake and it’s actually a Qing Dynasty tomb, then we might believe it!”

Indeed, these viewers were not fools. They had basic logic. Initially, Luo Feng had the same thoughts. Why couldn’t the tomb below be from before the Tang Dynasty? Why did it have to be a Ming Dynasty tomb?

With a smile, Luo Feng explained, “Different dynasties have different tomb structures and materials! For example, Tang Dynasty tombs usually have plain bricks or rope-pattern bricks. Yuan Zai’s tomb used rope-pattern bricks. Song Dynasty tombs mostly used gray bricks. We won’t discuss the Yuan Dynasty, as tombs from that period are unlikely to be found in this area.”

“Before the Tang Dynasty, geometric pattern bricks were common!”

“The tomb below uses green bricks. Although green bricks appeared during the Han Dynasty, it wasn’t until the Ming Dynasty that large-scale ancient tomb excavations revealed the use of green bricks.”

“Moreover, the vaulted ceiling of the main burial chamber that we just dug up is a structure unique to Ming Dynasty tombs!”

“My guess is not a bold one; it’s quite in line with reality!”

Although Luo Feng had already confirmed through his special means that it was a Ming Dynasty tomb, he still needed to provide a reasonable explanation.

“Ha, do you think I’ll believe that?”

“Anyway, it’s impossible for a Ming Dynasty tomb to be under a Tang Dynasty tomb!”

“Exactly, shouldn’t there be a chronological order?”

Luo Feng replied, “I don’t care if you believe it or not. Right now, all I’m thinking about is whose Ming Dynasty tomb it might be down there. We can rule out imperial tombs, as almost all the Ming Dynasty imperial tombs have been discovered, and the fengshui of this area is not suitable for an imperial tomb..”
