"Though I don't know the reason, whether it's to return the object to its rightful owner or to give it to someone destined, it should be given to those two. Why has the Ancestral Master been avoiding this all along?
"Moreover, the Ancestral Master could leave a diary as a guide and even hide the treasure in a tomb, but didn't reveal what the fragment of his soul cherished, sealing it within the Inscriptionless Stele in the hall, isolating it from the treasure.
"Is it that he couldn't, or was the Ancestral Master afraid that once the fragment of his soul knew what the treasure was, it wouldn't want to let go?
"And since the Ancestral Master stole this object, why didn't he return it during his lifetime but chose to bring it into his tomb after death?
"This grand tomb is empty, is it that the Ancestral Master was indifferent to worldly possessions, or did he regard this treasure as surpassing all others on earth?"
Tang's words left Hu Jiusan speechless.
