Ye Fan's heart skipped a beat. He took out a small shovel from behind him and handed the flashlight to Cheng Qingyu, who was at the side, and started digging hard.
Cheng Qingyu and Huang Linsheng were confused by his actions. They shone their flashlights at the place where Ye Fan dug the pit.
Ye Fan carefully dug around with a small shovel. When he dug more than 30 centimeters deep, the small shovel seemed to have touched something and made a slight crisp sound.
Ye Fan became excited and threw away the small shovel. His hands slowly swept the soil along the hole he had dug. The three of them were immediately stunned by the situation in front of them.
The soil covering the ground was swept away, and jade ornaments appeared in front of the three of them. When Ye Fan reached out and touched the jade ornaments, the dense spiritual qi was like a flood of river water. It quickly passed through his palm and entered his dantian along his meridians.
After feeling the spiritual energy of the jade ornaments, Ye Fan let out a long breath and buried all the jade ornaments again. He said to Cheng Qingyu and Huang Linsheng, who were in a daze,"Let's go out."
Cheng Qingyu seemed to want to say something, but Ye Fan shook his head slightly at her, indicating that she should not say anything. After leaving the tomb, he said to Huang Linsheng with a serious expression,""Brother Huang, you must keep the news of this ancient tomb a secret.”
Huang Linsheng looked at Ye Fan's solemn expression. Even if he was stupid, he knew that this matter was probably of great importance."Don't worry, I won't tell anyone.”
After Huang Linsheng left, Ye Fan took out a box of " white sand " from his pocket and lit it up. He took a deep breath and frowned. He was sure that the ancient tomb behind him was definitely a tomb from the Han Dynasty. Moreover, the owner of the tomb had a very high status. He was at least a prince.
The artifacts in the tomb were at least national treasures. If the news of this ancient tomb spread, it would probably become a hot commodity in the eyes of grave robbers all over the country.
The status of the tomb owner was not low, which meant that there were many rare treasures in the ancient tomb. The value of this ancient tomb could not be estimated. Therefore, Ye Fan felt troubled and did not know how to deal with this matter.
Seeing that Ye Fan was only focused on smoking, Cheng Qingyu couldn't help but say,"Ye Fan, this ancient tomb is the property of the country. I think we should report it to the Cultural Relics Bureau and hand it over to the government to handle.”
Ye Fan took a deep breath of the cigarette and said with a solemn expression,"You're thinking too simply. We don't talk much. Even if we report it to the Cultural Relics Bureau, they will send people down to investigate first. Moreover, who knows if the people from the Cultural Relics Bureau will be greedy and smuggle a portion of the artifacts out behind the government's back before reporting it to the authorities for excavation.”
It wasn't like this had never happened before. A few years ago, in a small mountain village in Wujiang City, local farmers discovered a Ming Dynasty tomb and reported it to the government. However, the government officials used the excuse of investigation to secretly smuggle out a large number of cultural relics. After this matter was exposed, it caused a sensation.
If it was a year ago, Ye Fan might have been greedy for the ancient tomb of the Han Dynasty. However, since he cultivated the Wisdom Eye, his state of mind had improved. He could always maintain a clear state of mind and erase his greed.
This year, he experienced the beauty of mountains and rivers, felt the spiritual qi of heaven and earth, entered the world to cultivate and distinguish between real and fake antiques, and tempered his Wisdom Eye. At the same time, his state of mind also sublimated.
Cheng Qingyu pursed her lips, realizing that this matter was not as simple as she thought.
"Then what should we do? Are we going to drag this out?" Cheng Qingyu said timidly. She was inexperienced and naive. She had never thought of taking the things in the tomb for herself.
Ye Fan threw the burnt cigarette butt on the ground and extinguished it. He fell into deep thought. If this matter continued to drag on, no one could guarantee that the news of the tomb would not reach the ears of the grave robbers.
Modern grave robbers had their own network of connections and sophisticated detection equipment. It was not difficult to smuggle the items out of the tomb.
The most difficult thing about this matter was the government's attitude towards this matter. Only by making the government pay close attention to this matter would the Cultural Relics Bureau start digging quickly, instead of investigating first before digging.
After figuring out the key point of the matter, Ye Fan had a flash of inspiration. Since the government attached great importance to this matter, then this matter would be much easier to handle.
He turned around and entered the tomb. Ignoring Cheng Qingyu's strange gaze, he picked up the small shovel and started digging again at the place he had just dug."Help me shine." Ye Fan handed the flashlight to Cheng Qingyu.
Cheng Qingyu looked at Ye Fan strangely and asked,"What are you doing?"
Ye Fan smiled mysteriously and said,"You'll know later." With that, he buried his head in the soil and stopped talking. His expression was relaxed and his movements were careful, afraid that he would damage the things buried underground.
The small shovel slowly dug. When it dug more than 30 centimeters deep, a crisp sound rang out. Ye Fan smiled slightly. He didn't know where he got a small brush from, but he gently swept the soil on it. Then, he continued to use the small shovel to dig around the object.
"You want to dig it out? You want to take it away?" Cheng Qingyu could not help but raise his voice a little. He thought that Ye Fan wanted to keep this thing for himself.
Ye Fan glanced at him helplessly and explained,"Don't worry, I'm not that kind of person. Otherwise, I wouldn't have asked you to come with me.”
"Then what do you want?" Cheng Qingyu hurriedly asked.”
Ye Fan raised his hand and wiped the sweat on his forehead with his sleeve. As he carefully dug, he said,"This thing is very precious. As long as we dig it out, take a photo, and show it to the higher-ups of the Cultural Relics Bureau, they will definitely attach great importance to this matter and send an archaeological team over as soon as possible…"
Ye Fan did not continue. He knew that if Cheng Qingyu was not extremely stupid, he should be able to understand the meaning behind his words.
Sure enough, after listening to Ye Fan's explanation, Cheng Qingyu revealed an enlightened expression and stopped asking questions. He focused on being a small worker and used the flashlight to illuminate Ye Fan.
The excavation work was undoubtedly hard. After a full half an hour, Ye Fan finally dug this thing out of the ground. The ancient object that had been buried for a thousand years had finally been seen again.
He took a deep breath and didn't have time to look at it. He hugged this thing and rushed out of the tomb. As the ventilation of the tomb wasn't very good, when Ye Fan and Cheng Qingyu came out of the tomb, they were already drenched in sweat. Their clothes were soaked in sweat.
Ye Fan was still fine, but Cheng Qingyu was a little embarrassed. He was drenched in sweat and stuck tightly to his skin. Ye Fan swallowed and praised in his heart,"Good figure."
Sensing Ye Fan's gaze, Cheng Qingyu revealed his true colors. He glared at Ye Fan and shouted like a lioness,"What are you looking at? If you keep looking, I'll dig out your eyes.”
Although her words were full of momentum, her expression was difficult to hide her shyness, making Ye Fan unable to help but take a few more glances.
Ignoring Cheng Qingyu's murderous gaze, Ye Fan teased,"Your figure is not bad.”As he spoke, he even touched his chin with a professional expression.
This made Cheng Qingyu even more furious. She gritted her teeth but could not move. She had no choice. Her clothes were already drenched. If she did not use her hands to protect herself, Ye Fan would only see her more clearly.
"Pervert, have you seen enough?" Cheng Qingyu gritted his teeth so hard that they creaked. He really wanted to go up and bite Ye Fan.
Seeing Cheng Qingyu's expression, Ye Fan no longer teased her. He retracted his lecherous gaze and said seriously,"I won't tease you anymore. Take a look at this jade plate first.”
Cheng Qingyu, who was still gnashing his teeth a moment ago, suddenly became interested when he heard Ye Fan's words. He said,"Put it down and let me see."
Ye Fan placed the jade ornament he had dug out on the ground and carefully cleaned the soil on it with a small brush. Soon, the two of them could see the true appearance of this object. When they saw the appearance of this ornament clearly, even Ye Fan gasped.
In the tomb, he could feel that the spiritual energy in the artifact was abundant and guessed that it was a rare treasure. However, he did not expect it to be the Nine Dragon Painted Phoenix!
