    Luo Feng was indeed astonished, but he feltpelled to dampen the growing excitement, saying, “This ce does not appear to be Shen Wansan’s tomb!” “Indeed, it doesn’t look like a tomb!” Master Li agreed, nodding his head.


    Though he was aware that this location was connected to Shen Wansan, it was clearly not his burial site.


    The areacked several crucial elements, such as a gravestone and a corpse — neither of which were to be found.


    Furthermore, the burial offerings were surprisingly scant,prised of only porcin and a bit of gold and silver; it was nowhere near suitable for a burial.


    A personage like Shen Wansan, who had umted immense wealth during his lifetime, would never have epted such a modest resting ce. “This ce certainly has good fengshui,” Luo Feng observed, “but in the context or an ancient tomD, It seems more 11Ke a rengsnul treasure spot createa for amassing wealth for his descendants. Also, since there’s no physical entity inside the tomb, it’s likely not a burial site!”<div>

    He had initiallye to assist, but Luo Feng’s curiosity was now kindled.


    Where was Shen Wansan’s actual burial site? After all, one must beid to rest after death.


    “Old Luo, you and I are on the same wavelength. I also see this as merely a ce Shen Wansan designed for gathering wealth, and not a true burial site,” Master Li remarked. “I suspect that at the time of his interment, being at a low point in his life, he would not have been buried in a grand manner.”


    “If this is his true burial site, I think he would have been buried discreetly, even with abundant offerings. Who would ever know?” Luo Feng added.


    “Young Luo, let’s talk privately once we’re finished here. Will you be traveling to the Cherry Blossom Country again?”


    “I won’t!” Luo Feng responded, curious. ‘Why do you ask?”


    “You won’t, eh? Well, if you find the time, you could visit Lou Mountain in our country!”


    “What ce is that, and what’s there to do?” “Why, to find treasure, of course!” “What treasure?”


    “Zhang Sanfeng’s treasure!”


    Luo Feng was slightly confused. “Zhang Sanfeng left behind treasure?”


    Master Li exined, “There has been an ancient legend around Lou Mountain that it conceals a treasure left by Zhang Sanfeng.”


    “!!!” Luo Feng voiced his skepticism, having never heard of this before.


    Master Li continued, “You’re an outsider, so yourck of knowledge is understandable. But this isn’t mere conjecture. Historical records, specifically in the book ‘Qian Nang,’ mention Zhang Sanfeng’s prophecy that six hundred generationster, a destined person would unearth the treasure. The government has even sent expeditions to search for it!”


    “The government?” Luo Feng was even more taken aback.


    “Yes, back in ’87, the Culture Ministry dispatched dozens of people into Lou Mountain. They scoured ancient texts and determined that the treasure’s existence was quite credible. Many legends have a kernel of truth, but as the story spreads, details might be distorted, though the core event remains real.”


    “Moreover, someone did discover treasure in Lou Mountain,” Teacher Li continued. “Ten years ago, Lou Mountain’s local authorities announced a treasure hunt, offering a gold medal worth 100,000 and an additional cash prize of 100,000 to whoever found it. These were incentives to encourage the search!”


    “When the news spread, many treasure hunters flocked here, and some valuable items were indeed found!”


    “These included Ming Dynasty silver ingots, gold bars, and jewelry, though not in vast quantities.”


    Listening to Master Li, Luo Feng smiled wryly.


    He suspected that the governor of the city might have staged this event based on local legends, employing historical artifacts to garner attention.


    But these were merely Luo Feng’s musings; who could say whether the tale was authentic?


    If it were a mere fabrication, Master Li certainly would not have spoken of it with such gravity.


    “I’ve shared all this to suggest that if there truly is a treasure, it shouldn’t fall into the hands of insignificant individuals or foreigners before you find it. We would all feel more at ease with the artifacts in your care, whether it’s the government or myself!” Master Li stressed.


    Luo Feng nodded in understanding, “I’ll head into the mountains tomorrow then!”


    “For the core location, Cangbao Temple, you should find information online.


    Luo Feng agreed, “Alright!”


    Later, Luo Feng took a leisurely stroll around the ancient tomb before heading up.


    Upon emerging, he sat down, enjoyed a light meal, and began researching on his phone.


    As Master Li had said, the area had attracted many treasure hunters over the past few decades, and bits and pieces of treasure had indeed been unearthed.


    What piqued Luo Feng’s curiosity was this: Zhang Sanfeng was known merely as a Taoist practitioner, so where would he have amassed such treasures? The next morning at eight, after breakfast, Luo Feng called for his helicopter.


    “Master Li, I’m leaving now!”


    “Yes, go ahead.. We owe you our gratitude for the excavation of this ancient tomb; without you, it would have taken us several more months! Safe travels, and good luck!”</font>
