Another Tomb Below? A Tomb within a Tomb? (3)

“I surmise that the owner of the Ming Dynasty tomb must have discovered the excellent fengshui here and noticed the Tang Dynasty tomb as well!”

“Constructing a tomb is already a massive project, and building one beneath another tomb is even more challenging!”

“Of course, there is one advantage to it—it makes it difficult for tomb robbers to find! After all, grave robbers who first come to the upper tomb will only plunder this place and won’t discover the one beneath it,” Luo Feng explained.

He actually admired the bold idea of the Ming Dynasty tomb owner. First, they had confirmed the excellent fengshui here. Then, they accidentally discovered that someone had already been buried here. At that time, it was inappropriate to dismantle the existing tomb and occupy the site themselves. Especially in ancient times, as doing so would be considered disturbing the deceased. But building a tomb beneath an ancient one would have a stabilizing effect in terms of fengshui. Moreover, it was a tomb of a prime minister. Another essential purpose was to prevent theft since no one wants to be disturbed after death. Otherwise, why would so many tomb builders in ancient times be killed by the tomb owners? It was to ensure that the tomb’s location remained undiscovered.

“I think the host is talking nonsense. It must be a tomb from the pre-Qin period!”

“Hahaha, that’s right! I cannot believe it either! How could it not follow logic?”

Luo Feng interjected, “Do not dwell on this point. In addition to the tomb bricks and the unique Ming Dynasty tomb structure, I have compelling evidence too!”

“What? You have evidence? Tell us!” Su Meiji was initially skeptical, but now she was very curious.

“Do you remember the mass burial pit not far from here?”

“It held more than a dozen people, along with copper coins and broken silver!”

“I was puzzled at first, but if there is a Ming Dynasty tomb here, it all starts to make sense! Those mass burial pits must contain the workers who built the Ming Dynasty tomb!” Luo Feng explained.

“Wow! When you connect the dots like this, it does make some sense!” Everyone was amazed, as most had all but forgotten about the seemingly endless mass burial sites outside.

“But why were they buried separately?” Su Meiji asked.

“Because the tomb owner’s identity was somewhat special!” Luo Feng replied.

“What does that have to do with their identity?” Qin Rubing looked at Luo Feng curiously.

Luo Feng said, “Building a tomb is a colossal project. Unlike modern times with excavators, the Ming Dynasty had to rely on manual labor! Only a powerful figure could gather so many people to dig a tomb! Of course, not too many tombs would be built at the same time, but they took many years to construct. Thus, the time span was extensive, inevitably resulting in many deaths! When someone died, they were taken to the side and buried. As people died every year, they were buried separately, resulting in many separate burial pits. Perhaps once the tomb was completed, the tomb owner would not let the tomb builders live. The mass grave I excavated previously may have been the last group of people hilried alive- The earlier nits with a dozen or so people or seven

or eight people were likely the builders who died from exhaustion during the short-term construction.”

There was no other explanation for this. That was how things worked in ancient times—human lives were as insignificant as grass. That was the nature of a feudal dynasty.

“Listening to the host’s analysis, it does make sense!”

“So is there really a Ming Dynasty tomb below? Even now, I still think it’s a bit far-fetched!”

Luo Feng chuckled, stood up after resting, and said, “I also find it a bit far-fetched, but when all other explanations have been ruled out, we’re left with only the most incredible one! Let’s keep digging and see for ourselves.. The truth lies beneath us!”
