“Wow, really?”
“Am I really this incredible?”
“Zhuge Liang’s tomb? For real? And I’m the one who found it?” Luo Feng stared at the characters on the wooden tombstone, dumbfounded, speechless for a long time.
Truth be told, the discovery of tomb belonging to a figure as acclaimed as Zhuge Liang had astonished Luo Feng, as many people throughout centuries had searched for his tomb without success. “Marquis of Wu Xiang? Who that?”
“Are you kidding me? Have you never watched the ‘Romance of Three
Kingdoms’? All perhaps you’ve only been paying attention to Xing Daorong?
How coudl you not know who the Marquis of Wu Xiang is?”
“Marquis of Wu! The famous Marquis of Wu, who else could it be but Zhuge
Liang!”
“Zhuge Liang? Really?”
“You baffoon! Of course it’s Zhuge Liang!”
“How is that possible? KongmingO’s tomb should be near Mount Dingjun, right? How could it be all the way here?”
“It was never confirmed to be there to begin with!”
Luo Feng’s heart was still racing at this moment, and his eyes were glued to the tombstone, looking constantly at it over and over again.
Yes, it indeed had the three characters “Marquis of Wu Xiang.”
Luo Feng was not mistaken. The people in the live stream’s chatroom had not seen it wrong either. However, at this moment, Luo Feng had many doubts in his mind. Nevertheless, among all his doubts, there was not one shred of him that doubted the tomb was fake.
After all, if the tomb were fake, this wooden tombstone would not be worth 2 million. The piece of wood had only skyrocketed in value due to it being engraved with the characters, “Zhuge Liang’s Tomb.”
Luo Feng placed the tombstone aside, excitedly grabbed his Swallowtail Hoe, and began digging.
While doing so, in his mind, he quickly searched for clues, trying to figure out what was going on with the location.
At this moment, Luo Feng’s entire online audience, even those from overseas, were stupefied. If the tomb unearthed here was really Zhuge Liang’s tomb, then the one already discovered must be a fake. However, even without this discovery, the mainstream scientific community and general consensus was already claiming that the Zhuge Liang tomb discovered at Mount Dingjun was fake. “Thud!”
“Thud!”
After about another hour of digging, another piece of wood appeared.
[Ding! You’ve unearthed a coffin!]
[Eastern Han Dynasty, Three Kingdoms Period! ]
[Value:
Seeing so many question marks, Luo Feng was certain that this item, which even the system could not determine its value, must be Zhuge Liang’s coffin. If it were not Zhuge Liang’s coffin, why would it have such an outrageous value?
Soon, Luo Feng began digging around the coffin. Coins, as well as the coffin and tombstone, were all buried just over a meter underground, meaning that it was not very deep.
The coffin and the altar were not far apart. Moreover, the material of the coffin was nanmu wood, more than two meters long and over one meter wide. In ancient times, ordinary families could not afford such wood. But who was
Zhuge Liang? Even a nanmu coffin seemed somewhat unworthy of his status. “Host, hurry up and open the coffin to see if it’s really Zhuge Liang!”
“Wow! Am I going to see Zhuge Liang in person? I’ll examine the body! See if he was really over eight feet tall and had an extraordinary appearance!” “Hahaha, maybe Zhuge Liang was actually a little short?”
“It’s said that Zhuge Liang was very handsome. Today, I’ll see just how handsome he was!”
“Come on, it’s just bones, how could he still look handsome?”
“Maybe Zhuge Liang knew some magic and managed to preserve his true body?”
“It can’t be Zhuge Liang’s tomb; the tombstone is wrong. Zhuge Liang should be Marquis Zhongwu!”
“Is this really the tomb of the most brilliant prime minister of the Shu Han Dynasty? It seems too simple!”
“It’s not just simple, it’s downright miserable! Utterly miserable!”
“Yeah, there are no decent burial items!” “Aren’t there a dozen or so copper coins?”
“Hahaha, you call that a burial item?”
Obviously, everyone was joking around, but they still could not accept Zhuge Liang’s tomb beingso simple. It was highly unusual. He was a remarkable figure that had achieved numerous accolades in history, so, why was he buried so hastily?
Even Luo Feng found it ridiculous. If it were not for the system prompt, he would not have believed that this was Zhuge Liang’s tomb.
However, as he scanned across the horizon, Luo Feng started seeing the clues.
An inspiration struck when he combined the fengshui of the mountains, the jade columns, and the arrangement of the silver cords. First, he looked inside the coffin and found that there were a few treasures inside, but not many, and they were not particularly valuable. He guessed that there were only one or two personal jade ornaments.
Seeing the barrage of comments in his chat, Luo Feng announced, “There’s no need to argue, everyone. This is definitely Zhuge Liang’s coffin!” “Really?”
“How do you explain the Marquis of Wu’s tomb at Mount Dingjun?”
“I don’t know about the others, but I absolutely refuse to believe that such a simple place could be Zhuge Liang’s tomb!”
Luo Feng chuckled, “Everyone, don’t worry. At first, I was very puzzled too, but after thinking it through, this place might indeed be Zhuge Liang’s tomb!”
“Do you all remember? I mentioned that the feng Shui of this place was not suitable for burial. Even an emperor wouldn’t be able to suppress it!
“Remember the jade columns we found yesterday, the stone tablet, the silver cords and so on?”
“They all prove that this place was either for worship or for sealing the land!”
“But I think it’s more likely to be a special kind of worship, not a Fengshan ritual!”
“However, if it was a place of worship, many things didn’t make sense. Yesterday, I couldn’t figure out why it was arranged this way! It was only after discovering Zhuge Liang’s tomb today that I finally understood!”
