Seeing the excitement of the viewers who were all asking about the jade implements’ worth… Luo Feng naturally did not hesitate to burst the bubble on their enthusiasm.

Soon, he continued to walk past a folding screen and entered a space of about 300 square meters. The tomb was indeed vast.

“Are those Bianzhongs? A set of them, perhaps?”

The Bianzhongs were placed on a mat. The mat was covered with golden silk cushions, displaying a set of bronze artifacts. Luo Feng could discern their identity. Bianzhongs, generally speaking, were ancient musical instruments.

Bianzhongs originated during the Zhou Dynasty, flourished during the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods, and continued to be popular through the Qin and Han Dynasties. China was the first country to manufacture and use musical bells.

Made of bronze, they were cast in various sizes and shapes, and arranged in a specific order based on their pitch. They were suspended from a massive bell frame and struck with T-shaped wooden mallets and long sticks to produce different tones.

Each bell had a distinct pitch, and when struck according to a musical score, they could produce beautiful melodies. The bells were suspended from a wooden frame and played by attendants using small wooden mallets.

According to historical records and unearthed relics, China already had Bianzhongs during the Western Zhou period. At that time, Bianzhongs were generally composed of three bells of different sizes. The number of bells increased gradually from the late Spring and Autumn period to the Warring States period, with sets of nine and thirteen bells, among others.

Of course, why did they disappear after the Qin and Han Dynasties? That was because more advanced jade artifacts had emerged, leading to the obsolescence of these instruments.

“Is this chair a Dragon Throne?” Luo Feng was initially attracted by the Bianzhongs on the chair. Only after that did Gu Santong and Luo Feng notice the chair itself.

“It indeed is a Dragon Throne!” Luo Feng confirmed after taking a closer look.

Upon hearing this, the viewers in the livestream went wild.

“Amazing! You found a Dragon Throne?” “Is it true? Are you just teasing us?”

“Is the Dragon Throne a soft mat?”

Luo Feng laughed, “Do you know the term ‘sitting up straight in a dangerous situation’? In the pre-Qin era, people sat on their Imees, even emperors. Hence, the Dragon Throne was a soft mat… In later years, the Hu bed emerged, which eventually evolved into the modern chair.”

“Is this decaying garment a dragon robe?” As for the decaying dragon robe, it was poorly made and only worth a few million at most. Its significance was not very great. The recent Zhu Youjian’s robe and crown were the real treasures.

Continuing forward, they reached the next tomb chamber. Luo Feng looked up at the chamber ceiling, which was adorned with a dragon pattern. He knew this might be the main burial chamber. The space here was enormous, spanning around 2,000 square meters. The first thing everyone saw was a bronze Ding. Behind the bronze Ding was a bronze coffin.

“A bronze coffin? This level of extravagance is truly terrifying!”

In front of the bronze coffin were two stone pillars that seemed to be steles. The steles were over five meters tall, and their tops were carved with human faces, possibly representing deities. There were also a few human figurines and a bronze crane with a base. Of course, there was also an alchemy furnace.

An alchemy furnace? A bronze crane? A bronze coffin? Any one of these items, if taken out, could shock the antique world. Luo Feng pondered once more, unable to think of anyone other than the emperor in the Qin Dynasty who could have such a high-ranking tomb.

“This bronze Ding has the characters ‘Yuzhou’ on it!” Luo Feng carefully observed the ancient Yi script on the bronze Ding that no one else could recognize and spoke up.

“Moreover, it seems that the placement of the Nine Zhou Dings should be in nine different directions. Later, in other directions, we should be able to find the other Nine Zhou Dings!” But Luo Feng also knew that since the first one was a counterfeit made during the Qin Dynasty, the rest were likely the same. Nevertheless, even as counterfeits, they were worth a fortune.

“Wow! Another Nine Zhou Ding has appeared?”

“Are there more in other directions? Why isn’t the host looking for them?”

“Yeah, even if he only finds Nine Zhou Dings and nothing else, these things are worth at least 100 billion!”

Luo Feng shook his head with a smile, “Just by looking at it, you can tell it’s only 2,000 or 3,000 years old. How could it be from the Xia Dynasty which existed over 4,000 years ago?”

“Yes, at first I was excited, but after taking a closer look, it’s indeed impossible for it to be a relic from the Xia Dynasty. Only artifacts from the Xia Dynasty can truly be called Jiuzhou Dings.” Gu Santong nodded and chimed in.

“Let’s go further in and see! Perhaps we’ll find out the identity of the tomb owner!” Luo Feng decided not to continue examining the bronze Ding and Dragon Throne, opting to move forward instead.

They discovered another bronze Ding. This one was much larger and covered with intricate animal and dragon patterns, as well as dense Taoist inscriptions.

The bronze Ding was about 1.9 meters tall. Luo Feng stood on his tiptoes and peered into it but found nothing.

“Could this be the alchemy furnace used by Qin Shi Huang?” Gu Santong boldly speculated.

“Maybe, but we can’t be certain,” Luo Feng nodded. The appearance of such a large alchemy furnace in the main burial chamber indicated that it might be the legendary furnace used by Qin Shi Huang.

“Why don’t we take a look at those steles first?” Gu Santong suggested..
