Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Upon reaching the well’s opening, Luo Feng looked about a kiloter ahead, and noticed a multitude of treasure markers, which were even more abundant than those below him.
Could there be two ancient tombs?
“Consider this from a different angle,” Luo Feng pondered. “Perhaps this burial site is not an ancient tomb at all?”
“Because there’s no coffin!”
“But if it’s not an ancient tomb, then what could it be?”
Lost in thought, Luo Feng stared blankly ahead.
“Damn! What happened to the livestream host? He looks like an idiot!” “Could he have been bitten by a snake and now he’s poisoned?” “What’s this host babbling on about?”
“He must be too excited. There are terracotta warriors down there!”
Luo Feng remained silent, his mind racing once more.
“In a typical ancient tomb, if the tomb owner had no grand ambitions, there would be no so-called ‘life and death entrances.’ The idea of reviving and leaving the tomb after death might be superstitious, but there’s no need to go that far! It’s a waste of resources!”
“And these gates of life and death were arranged using the Qin Dunjia technique!”
At this thought, Luo Feng’s eyes lit up.
That’s right.
Arrangents?
Let think…
Luo Feng looked around in all directions.
The view here was not optimal, so he decided to change locations.
Quickly.
Luo Feng sprinted towards the opposite hilltop.
About half an hour later, he arrived there.
His gaze swept across the landscape, eventually settling on the area with more treasure markers.
“Fortunate Twin Stars! This is the land of the hidden dragon!”
“The sinister land and the black bears and venomous snakes are all there to protect the ancient tomb!”
“The terracotta warriors face the interior of the ancient tomb! The animal figurines face three directions, forming an encirclent!”
“Hehe, I understand now!”
Luo Feng blurted out, leaving his livestream viewers dumbfounded with questions.
“What’s going on, Old Luo? Did you figure sothing out?”
“What did you learn?”
“Black bears and poisonous snakes were raised by the tomb owner? That’s a bit far-fetched, isn’t it? It’s been thousands of years!”
Luo Feng smiled and said, “Black bears can reproduce, and so can poisonous snakes. It’s quite normal! Moreover, black bears are territorial and fierce.
Combined with the sinister piercing winds, any half-hearted tomb robbers would imdiately leave upon encountering such a place. There’s no way a grand fengshui formation could be found in the location of the penetrating winds!”
“I even suspect that those wild boar herds were also released by the tomb owner!”
“The ancient tomb we just explored is not the main tomb but a decoy! If you don’t understand, you can think of it as a place specifically designed to provide nourishnt for the main tomb!”
“During the Pre-Qin period, the appearance of the taotie beast was only found on bronze vessels. Ordinary people wouldn’t create a separate animal figurine for it. Ferocious beasts on bronze vessels symbolize suppression, while creating one separately signifies great misfortune.”
“But this tomb owner did it anyway, which ans it must be a decoy tomb!”
“The direction faced by the four taotie beasts is definitely not the main tomb! But the terracotta warriors do face that direction! I assert that it is the main tomb!”
“Earlier, I was puzzled as to why the terracotta warriors’ direction was incorrect! It turns out this is only a decoy tomb!”
Luo Feng pointed at the area dense with treasure markers ahead, “So, I suspect that place is the main tomb! It is what they are guarding—the true ancient tomb of the tomb owner!”
Luo Feng felt that his analysis was quite good.
It should be the correct reasoning.
“Is there another ancient tomb? Then what about that massive gold block? Why is it buried below?”
“And why would the ancients go through the trouble of creating two tomb sites?”
“This is nothing; Cao Cao had seventy-three suspected tombs.”
“In the Pre-Qin period, gold was a luxury item. Everyone used copper coins. Using gold, especially such a large piece, must an it belonged to soone extraordinary! ”
Luo Feng smiled and said, “If it weren’t for this piece of gold, I wouldn’t dare to make any conclusions. This is called ‘burying gold to suppress the royal aura.”‘
“Damn! What does that an? I don’t understand!”
“Speak in layman’s terms, please!”
Luo Feng explained, “This practice has its origins in myths. It is said that when King Chuwei arrived in Jinling, he looked to the northwest and saw a mysterious halo around Mount Lulong. The strange glow, like a lit candle, illuminated the sky. Upon seeing this, the sorcerer beside him told King Chuwei that the halo signified a royal aura, suggesting that there might be a treasure sword hidden in the mountains, and perhaps even more treasures underground. The sorcerer then advised King Chuwei to bury gold in the area to benefit his royal family. Heeding the advice, King Chuwei buried ‘disgusting objects’—gold pieces believed to possess spiritual properties by the ancients.
The tomb owner must have followed this legend, which is called ‘burying gold to suppress the royal aura.’
In this way, they could enjoy the imperial fengshui without any concerns!”
At this point, Luo Feng pinched his brow, feeling sowhat exhausted, and continued, “However, this implies that the person is not an emperor!”
If it were a ruler of the Qin state or soone like Qin Shi Huang, they would inherently be entitled to such fengshui.
There would be no need for such asures.
“Damn, what are you talking about? What’s this about burying gold? I don’t understand at all!”
“I’m completely lost in this blind spot of knowledge!”
“Can soone with a high IQexplain?”
“Let put it this way: in ancient tis, fengshui practices were often emulated. When an ancestor used a thod to suppress the royal aura, later generations of fengshui masters would cite this precedent, urging tomb owners to do the sa. It’s a sort of trend -following within the fengshui profession. As for why gold can suppress the royal aura, only the first fengshui master who employed this thod would know! Perhaps it’s because gold is the king of tals and very valuable..”
