With everyone in tow, Luo Feng decided to leave the area.
“Hello… I am…” “Oh? You’re already making your way over?”
“Thank you, then.”
Luo Feng had just dialed the Yun Tai Mountain police and discovered that they were already en-route. Well, considering the popularity of his livestream and the number of artifacts discovered, it was no surprise they were moving quickly.
“Meiji, Rubing, Shishi, An Peng, let’s rest a bit. The police will be here soon,”
Luo Feng announced upon returning to the crowd. He picked a stone and sat down, watching over the entrance to the ancient tomb.
“So, Luo Feng, is this place really an ancient tomb, or…” Qin Rubing asked, her curiosity piqued by the bizarre surroundings.
“As for the tomb, it certainly is ancient, though it seems someone may have claimed it for their own! Moreover, the tomb itself appears quite sizable, and there are likely many cultural relics inside,” Luo Feng responded, a tinge of regret in his voice.
“What a shame, we could have profited greatly!” “Shall we go, perhaps delve deeper into the mountain?”
“The police have not arrived yet, let’s wait a bit longer.”
Luo Feng nodded, “Indeed, let’s wait for the police before making any decisions.”
Soon, they would have to make a record of events, and Luo Feng’s assistance would be essential. They could not simply walk away.
Around twenty minutes later, Luo Feng heard the whirring of a helicopter propeller from above. He looked up to see an armed helicopter.
“Damn! That’s a Zhi-9 police helicopter!”
Seeing such an impressive machine flying towards them stirred a bit of excitement within Luo Feng, especially as he noticed the rocket pod hanging from the helicopter.
“Is this a police drill?” he wondered. Had they stumbled upon a rehearsal?
However, in the next moment, the helicopter halted above Luo Feng and began to lower a ladder. Luo Feng was stunned once more. Wasn’t this supposed to be just regular police intervention?
Had it not been a rehearsal after all?
“Good day, Mr. Luo,” came a greeting from a middle-aged man in a group of armed policemen who had just arrived.
“Good day to you as well,” Luo Feng replied courteously.
“Thank you for your report, Mr. Luo. You can leave the rest to us now.”
“Very well.” Luo Feng asked no further questions, having a hunch of what was happening. He had initially thought it was a bribery case, but who would hide evidence of bribery in such a secluded mountain area?
“Mr. Luo, aren’t you curious about the scale of our operation?” the middle-aged man inquired after some thought. The amount of force they had deployed this time could almost be classified as an SSS-level mission.
“Could it be a spy?” Luo Feng ventured.
“Ha-ha, Mr. Luo, you are indeed astute,” the middle-aged man chuckled.
“Indeed, that’s the case!”
After Luo Feng’s report, he had expected a group of regular police to come, but surprisingly, armed forces arrived. Rumor had it that more troops would soon arrive from the nearby military zones. Things were evidently more complicated than he had thought.
If it were a minor incident, it would naturally be handled by the police, but with military involvement, it was unlikely to be as simple as money laundering or bribery. Furthermore, it appeared to be a big case.
“Mr. Luo, please provide your identification. There is a reward for such reports!”
“Yes, of course!” Luo Feng did not refuse, even though he did not expect any financial gain. But receiving five hundred thousand as a reward, that was an honor that he could not reject.
Shortly after, Luo Feng bid his farewells and left, even noticing a military helicopter arriving on his way out. Luo Feng shook his head, it was indeed a big case.
“Damn! Could it really be a spy?”
“Yeah! And the spy was hiding in an ancient tomb? What an oddity!”
“Why would a spy even buy lottery tickets?”
“Clearly, it’s to bribe people!”
Upon hearing this, Luo Feng intervened: “Lottery tickets are indeed the best method of money laundering. If someone wins, they show up at your door. Your winning ticket is worth ten million, they offer you eleven million, would you not sell?”
“As for those antiques, the chicken cups may be fake, but there are many antique dealers who, like myself, would be happy to spend a few billion on them. What could you do about that?”
As for the chicken cups and the Qing Dynasty porcelain bowls, they were probably bought by some high-ranking officials from the street, then sold to those who enjoyed such antiques. Such bribery schemes were child’s play.
Furthermore, the CDs and videos likely contained indecent footage of some leaders, which were likely to be used as blackmail. As for the spies, they were not alone. Some were in charge of exploring maps, while others were responsible for dealing with influential figures.
Luo Feng had not initially considered this until he noticed high-end surveillance equipment. The locations couldn’t be found, which suggested two possibilities. First, these locations simply didn’t exist. Second, these locations were protected addresses in China that couldn’t be searched.
Even local people might be unaware of these protected addresses, let alone Luo Feng. Unfortunately, he had not had a chance to watch the CDs. If he could have watched them in private, that would have been interesting. The women that these influential figures were involved with were bound to be attractive. The woman from earlier, for example, was quite appealing…
“Host, please be careful of retaliation from the spies,” a voice chimed in.
“Heh, there is nothing to fear. Our Old Luo possesses remarkable skills. He could handle ten of them without breaking a sweat!” a viewer joked. Luo Feng merely chuckled in response.
These were not concerns that he should dwell upon. By now, he surmised that he was already under official protection. No matter where he went in his treasure hunting expeditions, there would likely be a covert tactical team shadowing him. Although Luo Feng was not aware of their presence, he reasoned that with his abilities, why wouldn’t the authorities protect him?
“Ha! Brothers, I figured out where our Old Luo is!” one viewer announced excitedly.
“What? You’re not going to share?” another demanded.
“From the paint on the military helicopter, I noticed a character ‘*l ! That means he must be in Henan province!” the first viewer proclaimed.
“Dude, you are so attentive!” another viewer complimented him.
“Do you think it’s Taihang Mountain? The terrain seems a bit similar,” a viewer speculated. But what use was it knowing the location? None of them had licenses to dig. Digging without a permit was illegal. Of course, if they could escape with the finds, that would be a different matter altogether. Besides, if what they dug up wasn’t valuable, the authorities likely wouldn’t bother them.
For instance, if you found an ancient porcelain bowl worth a thousand yuan in the ground, the officials would most likely ignore you.
Luo Feng said, “I am indeed in Taihang Mountain. This is one of the tombs of Cao Cao documented by Zhuge Liang. The feng Shui of this area is indeed suitable for a burial site, and the tomb is not small. However, all the relics inside have been cleared out. We have to wait for the police to catch the perpetrators to find out what was originally inside.”
“It is probably one of Cao Cao’s false tombs,” Luo Feng continued. “Though the fengshui and layout are somewhat impressive, the quantity of items was small. Although Cao Cao never declared himself emperor, he was an emperor in all but name. If this were his real burial site, it wouldn’t be this modest.” “So how far is the next ancient tomb?” Li Shishi inquired.
“What if I said all eighteen are fake, what would you do then?” Qin Rubing interjected suddenly.
“You’re a jinx!” Seeing this, Luo Feng didn’t hesitate to flick Qin Rubing’s pristine forehead.
Speaking of the next tomb, it was approximately seventeen kilometers away. They would need to head west from their current position. The records were a bit off, but not by much. As long as they used fengshui techniques to search, nnamg tne location wouldn’t De a promem.
Three days passed in the blink of an eye. Luo Feng, comparing the location with Zhuge Liang’s records, believed he was in the right place. Ahead was a valley with promising fengshui. But whether the fengshui was good or not didn’t really matter anymore.
Who could possibly know what a person as suspicious as Cao Cao was thinking? Perhaps he purposely chose a place with bad fengshui. Good fengshui could be for false tombs? After all, when searching for Cao Cao’s tomb, one should stop relying on fengshui and conduct a proper scan. “Initiate a level three scan!”
After lunch, Luo Feng started scanning the valley.
“As expected!” Upon seeing a dense array of treasure markers, Luo Feng laughed. It seemed he had not chosen the wrong place.
There were approximately eight hundred treasure markers. This was a significant quantity.
With a full stomach, Luo Feng began his excavation. He wondered what items
Cao Cao had been buried with.
During the Three Kingdoms period, were there any valuable cultural relics? The Qin Dynasty, Han Dynasty, and Tang Dynasty were known for their treasures. The Three Kingdoms era, on the other hand, wasn’t particularly renowned for its artifacts.
Even if he considered calligraphers, there were only a few of them during the Three Kingdoms period. Although paper was invented during that time, most records were still kept on bamboo slips. [ Ding! You have unearthed a stone stele! ] [ Properties: From the Three Kingdoms era! ]
[ Value: 3 million yuan! ]
