Since I hadn't slept for two days, I was exhausted and my eyelids were drooping. When I was about to give up, Shen Bing came back excitedly, holding an empty lunch box and a few pieces of ceramic jar fragments.
"You're picking up junk. The scrap collection station doesn't want this thing." I said to her weakly.
"Go away, you still claim to be smart, but don't you realize the value of these two things?" Shen Bing wrinkled her delicate little nose at me unhappily.
"It's just a lunch box. It must have been left here by the person who cast the spell while eating. What's so strange about that?"
"It's not a lunch box. There's a bunch of them in the corner over there, and there are empty water bottles. It seems that someone has lived here before. Look at these pieces of ceramic fragments. Can you tell what era they are from?" Shen Bing proudly held the fragments in front of me as if she had found a treasure.
I'm not an archaeology expert. Apart from running a shop, I also catch ghosts. Isn't it stupid of you to ask me this
"I see."
"What era is it from?" Shen Bing's eyes lit up and his gaze was very eager.
"ancient."
Shen Bing gritted her teeth in anger, her almond-shaped eyes widened like apples, and she looked like she wanted to bite me twice.
"You country bumpkin, you have no culture. This is a ceramic from the Han Dynasty. Look at this bluish-grey porcelain piece, it is the main ceramic product of the Han Dynasty, but it usually appears in tombs and is rarely unearthed in other places. Don't you think it's strange?" Shen Bing said with his head tilted.
"What's so strange about this? The Feng Shui here is good. Who knows, there might be a tomb underneath the Feng Shui Bureau?" At this point, I sat up suddenly. This Feng Shui Bureau must have chosen the layout of a dragon tower and a palace. In ancient times, emperors and nobles would look for such a place with excellent Feng Shui to be buried. So, is there really an ancient tomb here
"Hey, what's wrong with you?" Shen Bing shook me.
"Nothing, I'm just wondering how you know about antiques?" I said casually, still thinking about the underground ghost town and the blood river passage.
"We have encountered many tomb-robbing cases in the past, two of which were Han tombs. We invited archaeological experts to identify these antiques, and I also gained a lot of knowledge from them." Shen Bing said with a smile.
I turned a deaf ear to her explanation, looked back at the base of the tower, and said to myself, "The Ghost Town is deep underground, and the Blood River leads to this blood pool. The Ghost Dragon Tower is built on the blood pool. Ah... There must be something under the blood pool!" This is a new discovery. Maybe there is a Han tomb underneath!
Shen Bing blinked and said, "Nothing works. The entrance is blocked and we can't get in."
"Come on, take me to where I found the lunch box."
Shen Bing scratched his head and asked, "What on earth did you think of?" while leading me to the southwest corner of the tower.
I told her, "I guess there was originally an ancient tomb under this Feng Shui Bureau, and the Feng Shui Bureau was built on top of it later. The Ghost Town and the Blood River were not built to serve the Feng Shui Bureau, they were just a burial city..."
Just when he said this, she interrupted him: "You are just talking nonsense. You have heard of burial pits, but you have never heard of burial cities."
I also think I am a bit whimsical, but the ancients often did things unexpectedly and generously. Many of them were only discovered after excavation. For example, the Qin Emperor's Mausoleum, a huge burial pit, how many pottery figurines and bronze chariots were unearthed? Until now, the Qin Mausoleum has not been excavated and has become a mystery. And this ghost town is just a city, which must have mobilized countless migrant workers. Those decapitated corpses are probably the ones who were killed in the pit.
As expected, the Yinfeng Tunnel was used to confuse tomb robbers. It was a dead end, trapping those who wanted to enter the tomb to death. People would never imagine that the real tomb passage was an underground ghost town. Even if you solved the mystery, you would still die if you entered the ghost town. Even if you didn't die in the ghost town, could you cross the blood river
This Feng Shui Bureau was just based on the original foundation, using all the structures here to build their own twelve-story Ghost Dragon Tower. They paid very little at the time, and the Li Tang family got a bargain.
