The men in the murals are proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, while the women are beautiful and elegant.
In the exquisite mural, the expressions of the two people are lifelike, making the audience seem to be able to see through the mural and see a pair of ancient lovers who truly love each other.
[I wish to win the heart of one person and stay together till old age. I wish this couple to grow old together.]
[Wow, it's so sweet, love is engraved on the mural, the mural will become a precious archaeological material, and it may be passed down through the ages in the future. ]
[I suspect I ate a bowl of expired dog food, and I have evidence.]
For some reason, An Rugu frowned slightly, feeling something was a little strange. The mural occupied an entire wall, so it was unlikely to be just the trivialities of a loving couple's life.
Maybe there's something she hasn't discovered yet.
She then took a flashlight and illuminated the mural next to it.
In the fourth mural, a man and a woman are playing the piano and zither in harmony, and they are very affectionate. The atmosphere is as harmonious as before.
Then, the light illuminated the fifth mural, and the content of the mural changed subtly.
The original man has disappeared from the screen.
The woman was holding her belly, weeping. In front of her stood many elder-looking people. Their expressions of impatience and disgust were portrayed very realistically.
Audience: “???”
[Suddenly I had a bad feeling. The host said this was a Feng Shui arrangement for longevity. Longevity locks are usually worn by children. Is this for female infertility?]
【During the Ming Dynasty, Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism prevailed, and the status of women suddenly declined. There are three types of unfilial behavior, and the worst is to have no offspring. If a woman cannot give birth to a child, she will be divorced.】
[Damn it, how come there is glass shards mixed in this good dog food? ]
[I won’t complain about the dog food anymore. Can you give it back to me? I want to eat it. I don’t want to eat the knife. 】
In the fifth picture, the figure of a man in blue robe finally appeared in the picture.
He sat on the stool, hugged the woman, and held her tightly, as if to comfort her, but the woman's eyes were tired and her face was full of resistance.
In the sixth scene, for some unknown reason, the man was lying on the bed, and the maid and the servant were cleaning his body and feeding him medicine.
The seventh picture shows a funeral procession. The man is put into the coffin, and the woman and others are wearing mourning clothes and kneeling on the ground crying.
In the eighth scene, a group of people carried two coffins into the underground palace and placed them together. Next to the larger coffin, there was a celadon lamp.
Audience in the live broadcast room: “???”
What kind of strange trend is this?
Some people with sharp eyes and good reading skills have already guessed what was going on from the murals.
[After they got married, the woman was unable to have children, and the man suddenly fell ill. Could it be that the woman didn't want to be divorced so she killed her husband? ]
[What a cruel woman. I like her. ]
[Getting promoted, getting rich, and then my husband died. From now on, I can be an old lady. It’s so cool. 】
[Ah, this... No matter what, killing is wrong! ]
After An Rugu finished reading the murals, she picked up her phone, looked at the comments from the corner of her eye, shook her head and said, "It doesn't look like a woman killing her husband. Look carefully at the previous murals. In fact, in each mural, the men are relatively slender.
At first I thought it was a problem with the style of painting, but other men appeared in the background.
The others were big and strong. But the man seemed frail and fragile. Maybe he had some health problems.
As soon as she finished speaking, the audience immediately recalled the mural they had just seen. Some people who had the means even took out the previous screenshots and looked at them repeatedly.
[I just flipped through the screenshots and it is indeed true. In the first mural of a man playing the zither to courtship, there is a gilded medicine jar with curved ears on the right hand side. In the sixth mural, a maid feeds medicine to the man, and there is also this jar next to her. I suspect that not only is he in poor health, but the reason he cannot have children is because of himself.]
[Good fellow, you must have used a microscope to see this. ]
[So, the man was in poor health and infertile, so he died early. After the woman died, they were buried together. The beginning of the story is sweet, but I can't tell whether it's a be or a he in the end. It's numb.]
[They clearly agreed to grow old together, but the man left, leaving the woman alone and crying. ]
【By the way, thinking about the many women's jewelry I just saw, men are really good to women. 】
[Yes, in the penultimate mural of a funeral, there are only women who come to mourn, so it is possible that the couple is monogamous and has no concubines. In ancient times, if a wealthy old man did not take eight or ten concubines, he would be considered pure and chaste, and monogamy was really rare.]
[Wow, this reminds me of the monogamous emperors of the Ming Dynasty. Both men are nobles, but they are equally affectionate. It's so touching.]
An Rugu lowered his eyes in deep thought. The man built a golden house for the two of them and buried them together in a Feng Shui layout that would bring good fortune and longevity, hoping that they would be rich and prosperous in the underworld, with many children and grandchildren.
They seem like a truly loving couple.
But fate played a trick on them, and they parted and the mirror was broken. The two were separated by life and death, and the woman was left alone in the world.
Fate is unpredictable!
.................
Just as she was sighing with emotion, something strange happened suddenly.
The underground palace was pitch dark, with only light from mobile phones and flashlights to illuminate it.
However, at this moment, a rustling sound was heard in the distance, and the mural they were looking at was suddenly covered with a layer of soft yellow light, and the originally dark areas were illuminated and became clearly visible.
audience:"???"
[When did the anchor light the candles? ]
[No, I didn't hear the host taking anything out. ]
What the audience did not see was that since hearing the noise, An Rugu's eyes became stern, as if facing a formidable enemy. He shook the Five Emperors' Coins on his wrist, and then grasped the backpack with his backhand.
Suddenly there was a noise in the underground palace, either from evil spirits or wild beasts. The Five Emperors' Coins can resist evil spirits, and the sword in the backpack can temporarily resist wild beasts.
Almost in the blink of an eye, she turned around and looked in the direction of the noise.
When she saw the scene in the distance clearly, she paused and a look of deep confusion flashed across her eyes.
In the center of the underground palace in the distance, there are two coffins made of golden nanmu wood placed side by side, one is larger and the other is smaller. Next to the larger coffin is a celadon lamp.
The base of the lamp is a shallow plate with a cylinder in the center. The cylinder supports a small lotus-shaped plate upwards, and the short twisted tube is the lamp head.
The bright lamp was casting a faint light, illuminating her face.
This seems to be the scene of the last mural.
She looked at the bright lamp in the distance and suddenly realized that it was a celadon eternal lamp.
The eternal lamp is a standard lamp in ancient tombs. It is said that the eternal lamp, as its name suggests, will never go out, but in fact, after the tomb is sealed, the oxygen content gradually decreases and the eternal lamp will eventually go out.
For example, there is a large celadon jar in the main hall of Dingling Mausoleum, which contains a lot of wax lamp oil with a wick inserted in it. It may be hoped that the lamp will never go out, but by checking the capacity of the lamp oil, it is obvious that the eternal lamp went out shortly after the tomb was closed.
However, the eternal lamp in this tomb is extremely strange.
When she just came in, she clearly didn't see any bright objects, so she guessed that the celadon eternal lamp must have been extinguished.
If that’s the case, why did it suddenly light up?
The audience in the live broadcast room were so frightened when they saw the light next to the coffin turn on.
[Help, I have only heard of ghosts blowing out the lights, but never heard of ghosts lighting the lights. ]
[Ahhh, host, kowtow three times, say sorry to the tomb owner, and run away quickly! ]
