Luo Feng scrutinized the stone tiger that lay before him, his mind abuzz with questions. The artifact's origin could be traced back to the Song Dynasty, yet its presence in this location baffled him. It was unlikely to be mere coincidence.
Zhang Xianzhong, when he buried his treasure, was undoubtedly preparing for a swift departure.
Under such exigent circumstances, how could he have procured a stone tiger and dragon? Luo Feng surmised that Zhang must have stumbled upon the ancient stone carvings during the burial process, cleverly utilizing them to construct a mnemonic riddle.
Given the current water level, it seemed impossible for it to have been so high during the time of the burial.
"In which direction is the stone tiger facing?" Luo Feng asked himself, mentally retracing the details from his earlier underwater explorations. His view had been hindered by the thick layer of silt covering the stone tiger.
