[ILivestreamDivination] Chapter 43.5 — Tomb of the Local Tyrant

[The owner of the tomb must be a rich man!]

[Must be an imperial merchant.]

[I guess they are more powerful officials and landlords.]

An Rugu was also a little curious about the identity of the tomb owner, but with the feng shui array being so auspicious, she felt that the identity of the tomb owner was not just what the audience said.

The layout of the tomb was quite rigorous. Like other Ming Dynasty tombs, the Shinto was used as the central axis, and the various components were arranged in an orderly manner.

Immediately afterwards, she came to a room, and the scene in front of her shocked her and everyone in the livestream channel.

It was actually a treasure house filled with gold and silver!

There were more than twenty big red trunks neatly placed on the coffin bed, and each red trunk has a vermillion lacquered copper lock.

The jade pieces in the red trunks were of various shapes, and the jade quality was crystal clear. The blue and white porcelain was placed randomly, with uniform color and fine glaze. It was obviously the best among the best.

Many gold ingots were scattered on the ground, covered in dust.

Originally, they would have been put away properly, but they were looted before, so they became what they were today.

[Fuck! The walls, floor and bed are all covered with gold, and the floor is paved with gold. How come you are so rich?]

[Not only are they rich, students from the Department of Archeology are saying that these jade, porcelain and gold vessels are likely to be used by the royal family, and their owners may be princes and nobles.]

An Rugu was not greedy in her heart; she just looked at the golden mountain with appreciation.

She did not pick up the gold ingots scattered on the ground but left and walked over to the next room.

As a result, the audience who were still immersed in the treasures of this vault were once again deeply surprised.

There was another set of more than twenty big red trunks placed on the coffin bed. There were countless colorful gems in the trunks and lying scattered on the ground.

Ruby, sapphire, emerald, chrysoberyl—these extremely precious gems that should be regarded as treasures, all scattered on the ground like ordinary glass balls with no one caring about them.

In addition, there were many shining jade and white pearls.

An Rugu walked in and took a look around. It turned out that there were many priceless jewelry in the opened trunks.

[The chrysoberyl on the ground in front of the host could not have been produced in China. It was probably a gem brought back from Western voyages.]

[Oh my God, guess what I saw—a jade enduring step! This was a festive item for weddings. It has many pendants such as pomegranates and mandarin ducks. It jingles when you wear it, which meant many children and good fortune. It is said to be a treasure given by the emperor.]

[I deeply empathize with the tomb robbers. I can clearly see the golden mountain, but I can’t take it away. This is too painful. ]

An Rugu was also very surprised. Although she knew how rich the ancient princes and nobles were, the books only contained illustrations and descriptions, and they were not as intuitive as actually seeing them in person.

After looking at the things before her in surprise, she found that there was no curse here, so she turned and left, regardless of the audience’s desire to see more.

“When the archaeological team comes, you can see them in the museum.”

In addition to the two luxurious rooms they had seen before, there were two more equally luxurious rooms.

One room was full of exquisite brocades, and the other room was filled with funerary objects such as pottery figurines and lacquerware.

When the audience saw this grand scene in their screens, no matter how stoic they were, they couldn’t help but exclaim.

An Rugu couldn’t find any clues about the curse on the first floor, so she went to the second floor of the underground palace.

She had walked through almost all of the first floor and had an excellent sense of direction. She already knew a lot about the structure of the tomb, so she said, “This tomb is very regular and can be divided into five parts, the front room, the middle room, the left hall, and the right hall. And the back room. There should be something similar on the second floor.”

On the first floor, she didn’t find the coffin; so it must be above.

Arriving on the second floor, she looked for the curse as usual, and was even more surprised by the family background of the owner of the tomb.

One room was full of valuable antiques, such as bronzes and tri-colored glazed pottery from the Tang dynasty.

The other room was full of calligraphy and paintings. She took a casual look and found what seemed to be Wang Xizhi’s original work.

The audience in the livestream channel were going into a frenzy.

[Is it because the owner of the tomb was too rich, or am I not understanding things? ]

[This archeology student says it’s the former. This level of luxury is not much worse than the Dingling Tomb that was excavated before. My teacher is speechless with excitement and is now booking a flight to rush to Blackwater Village overnight. ]

[Plus 1, after watching the livestream, the professor in our department took several quick-acting Jiuxin Pills and rushed over excitedly.]

An Rugu walked around but didn’t find the coffin or the curse, so she walked directly up to the third floor.

Walking to the third floor, the surroundings took on a new look, with colorful and lifelike murals on the walls. The fine carvings and exquisite colors showing the superb craftsmanship.

The audience in the livestream channel was extremely excited.

[There are often important information in the murals, which can be used to find out the identity of the tomb owner. ]

[The owner of the tomb is so powerful. I think he is a prince and general who would engrave his political achievements and famous battles in the murals.]

[Plus one! Looking forward to the big scene.]

An Rugu was holding her cell phone, looked up, and her eyes fell on a mural of a man and a woman looking at each other.

The man on the mural was playing the guqin and wooing a beautiful woman wearing a red and green dress.

In the second picture, the woman was shy and gentle, having accepted the man’s courtship, and the distance between the two was very close.

In the third, the man and woman got married in a prosperous wedding, with red makeup and numerous servants.

An Rugu: “…”

The audience in the livestream channel: “…”

[Is this ancestor’s dog food?]

[Why does it feel like they just painted a love story between these two people?]

T/N: The jade enduring step was an actual relic found in the Ming (1368 – 1644) Dingling imperial tombs. These ornaments were worn on either side of the consort’s leather belt and would sway elegantly with each step.
