Chapter 78

Watching the tourists and fans in the live stream argue again, Lin Yi shook his head speechlessly. The popularity had increased, but with more people, it had also become chaotic.

After all, they were all seeking amusement online and didn't need to control their emotions, saying and cursing whatever they wanted.

Now that there were moderators, Lin Yi felt much more relaxed, leaving these matters to the moderators to handle. Those who cursed and argued would be muted or banned according to the severity of their actions.

In particularly severe cases, they could be directly banned from the live stream, with their IP addresses blocked.

At this moment, Wu Xie suddenly let out a light exclamation, pointing to the back of the coffin and said, "There's a box here."

Lin Yi looked over, and indeed, there was a purple jade box at the back of the coffin. Purple jade, which is purple quartz, is generally used to make amulets and talismans, and it is rare for it to be used to make a box.

This box seemed to be carved out of a single piece of purple jade, which is quite rare. Purple jade is not easy to carve, so there were no patterns on the box, only a gold edge on the lid.

Judging by its position, it was likely used as a pillow for the corpse. A jade pillow is already very precious, and a purple jade one is even more valuable. Even the emperor at the time probably didn't have such a luxury.

Uncle San and Wang Fei were studying the jade figurine, both of them captivated by this "divine object," paying no attention to Wu Xie.

The young man glanced at the purple jade box, sighed, and turned his head to stare at the corpse of King Lu Shang, which Uncle San and Wang Fei were examining, his eyes becoming distant.

Pan Zi and A Kui, who were most interested in such treasures, stepped forward and lifted the purple jade box, placing it on the ground.

The box was not locked. When opened, it revealed a golden-embroidered yellow silk scroll. This item was well-preserved. When unfolded, it read "The Book of King Lu Shang" on the left, with dense small characters beside it.

"Hmm, I can understand some of it," Wu Xie said, "These small characters mainly record two events.

The first event is how King Lu Shang obtained the 'Ghost Seal.'

At the age of twenty-five, King Lu Shang inherited his father's position and led the army of the State of Lu to rob graves to gather military funds.

Once, he entered a tomb of unknown age, and the coffin inside contained a giant snake, lying still.

King Lu Shang was very brave. He thought the giant snake lying in the coffin must be a demon, so he cut it with a knife and ordered it to be gutted. As a result, a purple gold box was found inside the snake's belly."

As Wu Xie spoke, he suddenly paused, wondering if the box in his bag was the one from the snake's belly?

"Keep going!" Pan Zi and A Kui urged.

Lin Yi listened with interest, even though he already knew the story, it still had a unique charm. The purple gold box in the story was the one the young man gave him, which he then gave to Wu Xie.

However, the treasure inside the purple gold box had already been replaced with a snake-browed copper fish.

Wu Xie continued, "At the time, King Lu Shang didn't pay much attention to the box, thinking it was just something the snake had swallowed.

Later, when he was sleeping, he dreamed of an old man with a white beard asking him, 'Why did you kill me?'

King Lu Shang was usually very cruel and had killed many people, often forgetting about them. He didn't know who this old man was and said, 'I kill whoever I want!'

The old man suddenly turned into a giant snake and bit him. However, King Lu Shang was so fierce that he cut the snake in the dream and then stepped on it, ready to cut off its head.

The snake began to beg for mercy, saying that if its soul was also killed, it would never be reborn. If he let it go, it would teach King Lu Shang two treasures that could make him a prime minister.

At the time, the grave robbers, although directly managed by the emperor, had a low status. King Lu Shang, who was very proud, found this condition very attractive and agreed.

The snake then told King Lu Shang how to open the purple gold box in its belly and taught him how to use the treasures inside.

After listening, King Lu Shang found the method very profound and thought that this matter should only be known to heaven, not to the world. He then cut off the snake's head."

At this point, Wu Xie exclaimed, "King Lu Shang was really ruthless!"

Uncle San and Wang Fei were also drawn in by Wu Xie's storytelling. Uncle San said, "One of the two treasures must be the Ghost Seal that King Lu Shang used to summon the ghost army. What about the other one? Could it be this jade figurine?"

Lin Yi said calmly, "No, the jade figurine was obtained by King Lu Shang later. The two treasures at the time should be the treasures held by the two evil-faced ghost statues we saw when we entered."

Wang Fei and the others, who didn't come with them, were confused and didn't understand.

However, everyone was also surprised. When Lin Yi took the black jade seal from one of the evil-faced ghost statues at the entrance of the main tomb, it was actually the Ghost Seal?

The young man also took a ghost claw from another evil-faced ghost statue, could it be the other treasure?

Everyone looked at Lin Yi and the young man, truly lucky!

Lin Yi smiled and said, "Later, King Lu Shang, with the help of the two treasures, became very successful, both in war and in politics, winning every battle. The title of 'King Lu Shang' was also obtained through these treasures.

However, in his later years, his health declined, and he began to fear death.

At this time, his military advisor, Iron Face, revealed that the jade figurine could bring the dead back to life, grant immortality, and rejuvenate.

The jade figurine is in the Western Zhou tomb above us.

At the time, King Lu Shang mobilized thousands of grave robbers and spent a long time to rob the Western Zhou tomb and find the jade figurine.

Afterward, King Lu Shang built this tomb under the Western Zhou tomb. He then pretended to die in front of the emperor, claiming he was returning to the underworld to repay a debt, thus escaping."

Everyone listened intently, never expecting such a story from thousands of years ago.

Wu Xie looked at the records and nodded, saying, "What Lin Yi said matches the records."

Everyone looked at Lin Yi curiously, wondering how he knew so clearly?

In everyone's eyes, Lin Yi and the young man were mysterious and seemed to know everything about this place.

Wu Xie added, "The military advisor, Iron Face, seems to be a significant figure, but the records don't mention his fate. Could he have been buried with King Lu Shang?"

Uncle San said, "This person is very smart and would have foreseen that King Lu Shang would kill him to cover up the truth. He wouldn't have been loyal enough to be buried with him."

Lin Yi said calmly, "Iron Face lived for over three thousand years and was just killed by the young man."

"What?"

Everyone exclaimed in surprise, then looked at the corpse in the jade figurine.

Wang Fei, full of astonishment, said, "You mean the corpse in the jade figurine isn't King Lu Shang, but Iron Face?"

Lin Yi nodded and smiled, "Iron Face schemed for a long time, just to use King Lu Shang's power to achieve his own immortality.

With Iron Face's abilities, he couldn't rob the Western Zhou tomb. It took King Lu Shang thousands of grave robbers and a long time to do it.

Later, Iron Face burned his family to death, found a fake corpse to impersonate himself, and played a grand deception.

After King Lu Shang was buried, he sneaked into the tomb, dragged the defenseless King Lu Shang out of the jade figurine, and lay in it himself.

King Lu Shang's hard work ended up benefiting someone else, something he probably never expected."

Everyone was enlightened and amazed, never expecting such a bizarre and intricate story.

Lin Yi said, "We shouldn't stay here long. Let's take these treasures and leave."

Everyone nodded, this grave robbing had been very fruitful.

Just the jade figurine alone was worth a fortune!

Everyone sprinkled some Tianxin rock powder on themselves and climbed the nine-headed snake pine tree, emerging from the ground, saving a lot of time compared to the way in.

Lin Yi looked at the sky; it was almost dawn!

He greeted the audience in the live stream, telling them to rest early, and then closed the live stream. Mobile users, please visit http://m.piaotia.net
