Chapter 492: Concrete and Warring States Bronze Ding? Is this a Time-traveler? (2)

Certainly.

The system had not indicated that it was a treasure.

In that case, it was definitely a construction of ordinary soil.

Luo Feng, however, was slightly confused.

Were these treasures mixed within the soil?

It did not matter.

Changing his position, he continued to observe.

Twenty minutes later.

A single crisp sound could be heard.

Luo Feng’s hand felt the vibration, but the system gave no indication.

When he dug it out, it was still ordinary soil.

He continued to excavate for a while.

Luo Feng understood.

All these treasure markers were under this layer of ordinary soil. In other words, the soil had covered all these treasure markers.

The treasures were under the soil.

“Regardless of the soil, I’ll dig anyway!” Luo Feng, carrying his Swallowtail Hoe, headed towards the hard soil.

The soil could not stop him.

Even if you used steel plates, Luo Feng was not afraid.

About half an hour later, he had finally dug out the soil.

However, what lay underneath was still soil.

Luo Feng picked up some of the soil and examined it. It was regular soil, not rammed earth.

After all, with rammed earth, there could be traces of ancient people.

Luo Feng speculated that this seemed more like a collapsed building from the surface, buried under the soil

Luo Feng had dug more than a meter deep.

Still, no treasure was in sight.

“Perhaps there is nothing valuable down there!”

“Just because Luo Feng sees soil, it must be modern. And as far as modern things go, aside from gold, nothing is valuable.”

“Use your brains. Where would soil come from in the deep mountains?”

Indeed.

Deep mountains?

Why bring soil here?

Luo Feng pondered for a moment, with no answer, and continued to dig.

Around three in the afternoon.

Ding.

[ You have dug up a bronze ware. ]

[ Bronze ware! Warring States period! Value: 500 million! ]

What the…?

Upon hearing the system’s prompt.

Luo Feng was somewhat stunned for a moment.

What was going on?

This place actually contained a bronze ware from the Warring States period?

Luo Feng’s reaction was not of surprise and joy, but of doubt.

What place is this?

This is Mount Changbai.

How could there be ancient tombs from the Warring States period here?

During the Warring States period, such a place would not belong to the Central Plains, would it?

Luo Feng did not think too much about it.

He continued to dig, and soon the bronze ware with an ear was excavated a bit.

He crouched down and observed it.

By now, Luo Feng had determined what kind of bronze ware it was.

Indeed, it was a bronze ding.

It had a flat rim and square ears.

It was likely a semi-spherical ding with three legs.

“What is this?” “A metal plate?” “It looks like a pot!”

“Is it an ancient cauldron?”

Seeing this item, the viewers’ first reaction was a cauldron.

Since they had dug down to the soil, no one considered it an antique.

Half an hour later, Luo Feng carefully unearthed the bronze ding. After all, it was worth 500 million, Luo Feng could not take it lightly.

“This thing is not a pot!”

“Yes, it looks like an ancient bronze ding?” “Should it be? Can there be ancient tombs in Mount Changbai?” “Isn’t the host looking for Sima Yi’s tomb?”

“But this looks like a bronze ding from the pre-Qin period!”

“Sima Yi’s tomb? Why couldn’t it contain a bronze ding from the Pre-Qin period?”

“Indeed, finding relics from the Xia Dynasty would be normal!”

“Are you kidding me? In Sima Yi’s tomb, could there be ordinary soil? Is this some kind of transcendence?”

“Truly, quite bizarre!”

Although some maturation can be seen in the craft, it still lacks the refinement of the Pre-Qin period. This should be a bronze ding from the Spring and Autumn period!”

Luo Feng had determined its era. He discussed some professional knowledge. Although most didn’t understand, they trusted his assertion that the artifact originated from the Spring and Autumn period.

“Wow, it’s actually from the Spring and Autumn period. The guy who mentioned it earlier, good observation!”

“This is Mount Changbai. Are you sure you’ve found a tomb from the Spring and Autumn period?”

Luo Feng responded, “This bronze ding is indeed from the Spring and Autumn or Warring States period. Bronze dings from different dynasties have significant differences. The Shang Dynasty is known for their flat and high-relief techniques. By the Western Zhou period, the level of craftsmanship had ascended a notch, with the greatest characteristic being more grandiose and refined bronze dings. By the time of the Spring and Autumn period, the designs of bronze dings had become even more perfect!”

“As for why it would appear here,” Luo Feng contemplated before continuing, “Perhaps there truly is an ancient tomb beneath us!”

These words were merely to satisfy his audience’s curiosity. Luo Feng was certain there wouldn’t be a tomb beneath. After all, how could people from the Spring and Autumn period be buried in Mount Changbai?

“This is fake! It’s definitely fake. Unearthing a bronze ding from ordinary soil, I can’t believe it. I can’t accept it!”

“Exactly, it seems highly unlikely to me too!”

Luo Feng replied, “The bronze ding is undoubtedly real. You can question me in other aspects, but when it comes to determining the era, I am not mistaken!”

However, it was indeed possible that it was buried here by modern people. After all, there were many traces of modern human activity nearby. Typically, artifacts are accompanied by ancient tombs, but the appearance of ordinary soil had thrown everything into question.

But this was an uninhabited area deep in the mountains. Who would leave antiques here?

Squish. Splat. Luo Feng resumed his digging.

This time, Luo Feng was very careful. After all, the first bronze artifact was so impressive, worth half a billion, the other items might also be very valuable. He could not afford to be careless; if he damaged them, the loss would be significant.

[ Ding! You’ve found oracle bone script! Dynasty: Shang Dynasty. Value: 3 million! ]

Luo Feng had unearthed a familiar object. It was a fragment of oracle bone script. Each piece was inscribed with text.

Now, Luo Feng was even more puzzled. First, he found a bronze ding from the Warring States period, and now oracle bone script from the Shang Dynasty? These two items were entirely unlikely to appear in the same place. And they were less than two meters apart, so it wasn’t possible that they were placed there by people from two different periods.

“Goodness, oracle bone script? Wow!”

“Is this real oracle bone script? Or a reproduction?”

Luo Feng nodded, “Of course it’s real!”

Having said this, he carefully set the artifact aside and resumed his excavation..
