Chapter 191 - 191 Jade Artifacts from the Yuan Dynasty and the Colorful Golden Pheasant (1)
The second half of the mantra had already been verified through Luo Feng’s latest discovery.
However, the earlier part about the stone cliff rapids and the three bridges had not been confirmed.
The treasure they had just discovered was not related to this first part of the mantra.
It was for this reason that Luo Feng believed that there were more of Old Li’s treasures contained within the mountains.
However, there was no need to seek them out yet.
After all, they needed to transport the treasure chests they had just dug up.
Buzz, buzz, buzz!
Suddenly, Luo Feng’s phone rang. It was none other than Long-legged Woman, the envy of women and the object of desire of men.
Was she watching my stream again?
“Little Qin, have you been watching my livestream again?”
“Yes, how do you plan to deal with all these large chests?”
“Well, I will think about it!”
Luo Feng pondered. The amount he had with him was massive — Could a single auction even manage to handle them all?
Moreover, these treasures were too standard and unvaried, they were just normal gold and silver currencies used in the past.
So far, not many people had contacted him, which indicated that these items were not very popular.
If they were artworks or antiques of the same value, many people would definitely be interested.
“Actually, you can entrust these items to my auction house as well! There may be many unsold items, but I can arrange for them to be auctioned in future events!”
“Where are you?” Luo Feng asked.
“Of course, I’m in the Dalong County’s town!”
“Oh? When did you arrive? Well done, Little Qin, I commend you for thinking ahead!”
“I’ve been here for several days, keeping an eye on you while working online…” Qin Rubing explained that she had been staying in a hotel in the county town for the past few days. Though its facilities were not great, it was the only way for her to reach Luo Feng as soon as possible should he unearth even more treasures.
In spite of this, she had not expected Luo Feng to unearth so much gold and silver.
Fortunately, this meant that there would be little competition, and even if anyone were to request to purchase them from Luo Feng, Qin Rubing would not mind splitting the goods with someone else.
In the ideal scenario where no one had requested for a share of the treasure, she would gladly take them all in and auction them off instead.
“Alright then, wait for me at the foot of the mountain. I’ve already rented a helicopter to transport the gold and silver down the mountain. You can take stock of the goods then, and transfer the money to me after you’ve successfully auctioned them all off!” Luo Feng replied before casually chatting with her about other trivial matters.
Of course, he did not forget to flirt with her a bit.
A few minutes later, he hung up the phone.
…
An hour later, the helicopter Luo Feng had requested finally arrived.
It was a large Zhi-7, capable of carrying dozens of passengers. Naturally, the 42 chests of gold and silver posed no issue to it as it effortlessly carried the treasures down the mountain.
Fortunately, they were not fragile antiques, so there was no need to handle them with care.
“Let’s take a break. That’s it for today!”
After watching the dozens of chests being successfully transported away, Luo Feng decided that it was time to end the stream.
However, even after the livestream had ended, the online buzz continued to run high.
Apart from the online hype, the most significant impact was undoubtedly on the nearby mountain village and county town close to Dalong Mountain.
For them, this incident was quite a shock.
After all, generations of people had known about the mantra, yet it was an outsider who had uncovered Li Zicheng’s treasure!
Over the years, both locals and outsiders had searched Dalong Mountain countless times but had found no treasure, causing many to believe that it was merely a legend.
But now that the treasure had indeed been discovered, they were very upset.
In the livestream, professionals had estimated the value of this treasure to be around 1 billion yuan.
Even after taxes, there would still be 800 million yuan left.
“Have you heard? Li Zicheng’s treasure has been found!”
“What? Old Li’s treasure? The ones belonging to rebel king?”
“It must be nonsense, right? How could there be actual treasure from him? Only fools believe in legends!”
“Yeah, it’s impossible. It only happens in novels!”
“But these days, the internet has been talking about how the treasure has been found. They’ve transported dozens of boxes of valuables down the mountain!”
“That’s right, I watched the original livestream! It’s true!”
“Dalong Mountain is bound to become popular, with many treasure hunters likely to head there again to search for more treasure!”
“Who knows? The rebel king might not have buried treasure in just one location within the mountain!”
The locals were filled with envy and jealousy.
Outsiders, on the other hand, were merely enjoying the spectacle, with some also envying Luo Feng.
However, as Luo Feng’s expertise became increasingly apparent, many people stopped feeling envious because he had the right tools for the job…
It was apparent that it was no longer just a matter of luck.
...
At first, the bezoar could be attributed to Luo Feng’s good fortune. But later, as he discovered an underwater ancient tomb, a World War II-era battlefield, another ancient tomb in the mountains, and a shelter, among other things.
Who could still attribute all this down to just good luck?
…
…
Meanwhile, in the city, Zhang Shunyong and other wealthy second-generation heirs had returned home to rest for a few days.
Many of the wealthy heirs within the Chinese social sphere had invited Zhang Shunyong and Li Shishi to dinner, wanting to hear about the treasure-hunting process.
“Brother Yong, do you think Luo Feng could be one of those tomb raiders? He must have some secret manual or something, right?”
“I think so, too. Otherwise, it would be too incredible. How can finding treasure be as simple as finding a girlfriend for me?”
“Is finding a girlfriend simple for you? Don’t you just throw money at the problem?”
“You’re wrong. You don’t understand. In this world, all you need to do is drive a luxury car and look a little handsome, then goddesses will be fighting to give you gifts every day!”
“I really want to join you guys in treasure hunting, but spending millions on a car sounds absurd to me! Plus, we need to purchase 2 of them!”
