Chapter 368 - 368: A Titan of the Calligraphy World! The Best Cursive Script in the World! (1)
“You’ve found a precious relic?”
“What kind of relic is it?”
“Do we not have plenty of experts down there? Can none of them identify it?”
Upon hearing this, Luo Feng was filled with confusion. He could not fathom what treasure these people had laid their eyes upon.
However, he decided that he should go down and see it for himself.
Quickly, he donned his oxygen tank and gas mask and followed Little Wu, the archaeologist who had come to inform him, back down into the tomb.
“Did they manage to get through the stone brick wall that I pointed out?” Luo Feng asked curiously as they navigated the crawling passageway.
“Mr. Luo, they’ve managed to get through about half of it. They might be able to fully open it by tonight. Then we can take the main path. You truly are incredible. Every location you point out proves to be correct, leading us directly to the tomb passage!” Little Wu praised.
“Haha, I am merely average. The more tombs I explore, the more proficient I become,” Luo Feng responded modestly, rubbing his mouth slightly embarrassed by the praise. The two continued their trek in silence.
Approximately ten minutes later, they reached the main tomb chamber.
Looking around, Luo Feng saw no one and asked in bewilderment, “Little Wu, where is everyone?”
“They’re over at the Hall of Supreme Harmony,” Little Wu replied.
“Alright, let’s go.”
Luo Feng quickly proceeded with Little Wu to the Hall of Supreme Harmony. They found a group of archaeologists huddled together, chattering incessantly about something.
What on earth had they discovered that required so many onlookers?
“Master Gu, Mr. Luo has descended into the tomb!” A disciple at Gu Santong’s side pointed out.
“Mr. Luo has arrived?”
“Mr. Luo, please come over!”
The archaeological team undoubtedly held Luo Feng in high esteem. They made way for him, allowing him to enter the circle.
“Who is the most professional in recognizing treasures under heaven?” “Of course, that is our Mr. Luo!”
“Indeed, no one can surpass Mr. Luo’s ability in identifying treasures!”
Hearing these praises, Luo Feng became perplexed.
He was indeed a professional.
But was he really worthy of the title ‘best in the world’?
It was a bit overwhelming.
“So, what exactly did you find that requires me, a livestreamer, to appraise it?”
“I mean, I have seen several experts brought in by Master Gu! And yet, none of them were able to identify it?”
“Is this the highlight moment for our host? An artifact that even experts can’t recognize?
Once the crowd parted, Luo Feng quickly walked in. Gu Santong beckoned him,
“Come over quickly, Little Luo. Take a look at this!”
As he spoke, Gu Santong pointed at an object on the Dragon Throne.
It was a box made of gold and jade.
“What is this?” Luo Feng asked, gently touching the box. A system notification appeared immediately.
[ A p*nis! Ming Dynasty, Value: ?? ]
“Damn your sister’s leg!” Luo Feng cursed under his breath, flabbergasted, before he opened the box.
The contents resembled those unearthed previously.
They were all wrapped in silk.
“Pass me a pair of gloves,” Luo Feng asked, slipping them on and pretending to scrutinize the item, “Is this a p*nis?”
“What the hell? Why is the livestreamer cursing?”
“You greenhorn up there, the host didn’t curse. This is indeed a p*nis!”
“What does that mean?”
“It’s simple, take it literally!”
“Is it really a p*nis?”
“Didn’t we say it before? This is an eunuch’s tomb, isn’t it? What’s so strange about that?”
“Where did you find this?” Luo Feng asked.
“Right on the Dragon Throne.”
“Yes, on the Dragon Throne.”
Luo Feng was speechless. Initially, he had scoured the entire room but hadn’t found it. Was it really placed on the Dragon Throne? But he hadn’t paid any attention to the throne initially, presuming nothing significant would be placed there. He must have overlooked it.
“It’s really an eunuch’s…”
“Yes,” Luo Feng nodded, “Judging from the preservation measures, it is definitely an eunuch’s. By the way, how long will it take to break through the remaining stone bricks in the passageway?
“Not much longer, there’s about half more to go,” replied Little Wu.
“I’ll go take a look then,” Luo Feng said.
He understood that now that the p*nis was found, if they could also find the accompanying tombstone of the buried eunuch, it would confirm everything. After all, the name of the deceased would be engraved on the tombstone.
“Seems like the livestreamer’s fate is entwined with d*cks,” the archaeologists commented as he exited the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
Upon reaching the excavation site, Luo Feng saw several people working to dismantle the stone wall.
“Everyone, take a break. Let me handle this,” he called out to the workers. Picking up his Jungle Blade, he began chiseling away at the wall.
With every movement, blocks of stone bricks were dislodged.
Watching Luo Feng at work, the professionals were dumbstruck.
Who was supposed to be the expert here, them, or Luo Feng?
Why was he so skilled?
The stone wall, which they estimated would take until evening to dismantle, was over halfway done in just an hour with Luo Feng’s help. Now, only a third remained.
In about forty more minutes, with the last block of stone brick removed, Luo Feng stepped into the passageway leading to the tomb.
The passageway was exceptionally wide, about ten meters, stretching for nearly a hundred meters. There were traces of wheels on the floor, likely left by hand-pushed carts or horse-drawn carriages used during the tomb’s construction.
“Is this decayed yellow pine wood? Are these wooden planks?”
Seeing remnants of wood on the ground, one of the archaeologists asked, and someone went to notify Gu Santong.
“Wooden planks in the tomb passageway? What’s the reasoning behind that?”
