“Moreover, he has even mastered the art of fengshui that was developed by the ancients!”

Of course.

These things were said for the benefit of the viewers watching the livestream.

Indeed, it was for this reason that the three girls held him in such high esteem.

“Let’s go in!”

“Oxygen tanks and gas masks will suffice! ”

“As for hidden traps and mechanisms, you all have been following me on these tomb explorations for a while now. Those things found in novels could scarcely be found in reality!”

Luo Feng glanced at the people behind him.

What he spoke was the truth.

It was impossible for ancient tombs to be filled with traps and mechanisms everywhere.

Not to mention whether the ancients had such skills to begin with.

Even if they did, these contraptions would have become useless after the thousands of years had passed since their construction.

At most, they would have dug some pits.

However, with the Swallowtail Hoe’s life-prolonging effect, Luo Feng was practically invincible in the face of such traps.

For example, several times when digging holes, Luo Feng almost fell down, but the Swallowtail Hoe’s effects would immediately rescue him, grabbing onto ledges automatically.

Thus, with the Swallowtail Hoe in hand, Luo Feng had no fear as he held his head high and led the way.

“Holy crap!”

“This is so luxurious!’

“It’s so huge!”

When Luo Feng and his party stepped over the half-meter brick wall, the scene inside left everyone in shock.

Despite shining his flashlight forward, there was no end of the tomb chamber in sight.

How could it not be huge?

There was even a courtyard and doorways inside the tomb chamber.

It was like a miniature palace.

It was evident that the tomb’s owner was wealthy, but due to the emperor’s authority, they must have restrained themselves.

Otherwise, it would have been even more luxurious.

Zhao Gao’s tomb they encountered earlier was enormous, but in terms of luxury, it could not compare to the one they were in now.

During the Ming Dynasty, due to the society’s productivity and population, the scale of tomb construction became increasingly luxurious, which made sense.

“Luo Feng, whose tomb is this? Why is it so huge?” Qin Rubing looked at everything in front of her, pinched herself, and could hardly believe that this was an underground palace.

“I don’t know yet; let’s go in and find out!”

Luo Feng shook his head. He was not a deity and as such, could not possibly know of the tomb owner’s identity right after stepping into their tomb.

Without saying much more, he headed straight inside.

The tomb passage led to an enormous coffin.

On either side of the coffin, there were three more coffins.

It appeared to be a joint burial tomb.

But why was it in this location? “They used a Guanyin stone?”

“Does the tomb owner not have a son?”

Upon seeing the material of the stone pillars beside the coffin,

Luo Feng immediately smiled.

“Guanyin stone? What’s the situation? Why does it mean they didn’t have a son? Is there a story behind this?” Li Shishi did not understand and curiously asked.

“Hehe, isn’t it simple? Guanyin, the Goddess of Mercy, is known for bestowing children. Who would normally display a Guanyin stone? When found in ancient tombs, they must have been placed by someone who didn’t have a son!”

Luo Feng laughed, “It seems that the tomb owner had issues in that department. After all, someone this powerful, who could build such a massive tomb, would have no problems in procuring women. After changing several partners, they are bound to have a son, unless the problem lies with the man himself! However, in ancient times, people did not believe it was the man’s issue; and they blamed the women instead! So, those women probably were not well-regarded by the tomb owner when they were alive, not knowing that he was the real culprit to begin with.”

“Then, if he had no son, who built the tomb for him?” Qin Rubing asked.

“Haha, for such a wealthy person, it doesn’t really matter whether they had a son or not. Let’s go inside.” Luo Feng playfully ruffled Qin Rubing’s hair, noticing that she was becoming more and more naive, and chuckled.

He walked towards the tomb chamber’s entrance.

“This tomb owner was likely not a merchant!” Luo Feng said.

“Ah? How do you Imow that? Could you tell from the fengshui?” Li Shishi jokingly asked.

“Dummy, of course not. Did you take me for a charlatan?” Luo Feng rolled his eyes, “How many layers of coffins do you see?”

“It looks quite large, probably several layers!” Qin Rubing said.

“It’s nine layers!” Luo Feng nodded, ‘Who would dare to use such a massive coffin with nine layers? In ancient times, even if a merchant was wealthy, they might build a more luxurious tomb, but they wouldn’t dare use an inappropriate specification. If you dared to use a nine-layered coffin for yourself, someone would report you, and you would be waiting for your property to be confiscated and your execution!”

Luo Feng continued, “Generally, ancient merchants didn’t have the guts to challenge imperial authority!”

Hearing this, Qin Rubing frowned, “Could this be an imperial tomb? But that doesn’t seem right. The fengshui layout here is said to be unfit for an imperial tomb, isn’t it?”

“Since it’s not an imperial tomb, why would they be so bold as to use a nine-layered coffin?” Su Meiji asked.

“I’m not sure, but finding the epitaph might help us understand!” Luo Feng replied.

There were many people in ancient times who wanted to be emperors. They dared not express such wishes while they were alive, but what if when they were dead?

Who would stop them?

As long as they killed everyone involved in the tomb construction, their secrets could be protected.

“The specifications of this tomb are quite high. Although not quite on the level of an imperial tomb, it’s close to the scale of an imperial mausoleum!” “Yes, is there any chance it could surpass Zhao Gao’s tomb?”

“Don’t think about it. Zhao Gao was a powerful figure in the Qin Dynasty. For a period, he held great influence. Were there such powerful figures in the Ming Dynasty?”

“There were many such figures in the Ming Dynasty, right?”
