Two p.m., Xiacheng Airport.

Xu Ran waited in the VIP waiting hall for about two or three minutes, and then heard the flight announcement from the Western Capital, but he did not delay the pick-up.

Before Song Wenli and Xia Tanhe got on the plane, Xia Tanhe sent a text message to Xu Ran, but Xu Ran was playing with women in the office at the time and did not receive it.

Afterwards, he checked the text message and made sure that the three teachers and students were seated on the flight he had booked, so he drove quickly.

After waiting for a while, Xu Ran saw the three teachers and students coming out of the exit of the station at a glance.

Song Wenli was wearing a mask, his condition seemed to be relatively poor, and he was walking with the help of someone and coughing faintly, but he tried not to cough it out.

And the one next to him whose whole body and face were wrapped very tightly, that was obviously Xia Tanhe, if it weren't for Xu Ran's very close acquaintance with them, I'm afraid he wouldn't really recognize it.

Tan Nian, who was supporting Song Wenli, looked relatively normal on the surface, but his state was not as good as before, and ordinary strangers couldn't see any clues.

But it was also Xu Ran's negligence, if Song Wenli's cough was too severe, and Xia Tanhe was misunderstood as having some skin infectious disease, they might not be able to get on the plane at all, and it would be difficult for them to get on the plane smoothly for somehow, maybe it is the off-season for air transportation, and it has something to do with the fact that the ticket Xu Ran bought for them is business first class.

"Teacher, how are you feeling now?"

When Xu Ran waved his hand and picked up the three of them, Xu Ran hugged Song Wenli and asked for the first time.

"Ahem......"

Xu couldn't help it, Song Wenli coughed heavily, coughed for about a minute and coughed up a mouthful of bloody sputum, then he was a little better, and then said: "It's okay, it's just that when I cough, I feel a lot of pain in my chest, as if something is going to grow......"

Hearing this, Xu Ran lifted Song Wenli's clothes and took a look, and saw that Song Wenli had many dark spots with unknown symptoms on his body, and there was a place on his chest and lungs that was not particularly obvious, but like a protruding tumor, which was obviously a symptom of a latent microorganism that was about to undergo a mutation and began to attack, and he couldn't help but change his face.

"Brother Tan Nian, what about you, how do you feel?"

Tan Nian's voice was very small, as if he would be very uncomfortable when he spoke loudly, and said softly: "I feel that the bones in my body seem to have thorns pierced into it, and I also have bone spurs, I don't dare to exert force, and when I exert my strength, I will ......die in pain."

Xu Ran looked at Xia Tanhe again.

Xia Tanhe was afraid that her current ugly face would be looked at by Xu Ran, so she couldn't help but push her glasses and tighten her scarf, and said, "Xu Ran, don't look at me, I'm so ugly now, I don't want to see anyone!"

"Without further ado, hurry up and follow me!"

Xu Ran didn't dare to delay their treatment time, so he helped Song Wenli and Tan Nian to quickly transport them to the parking lot and put them in the car, and quickly rushed in the direction of Haisha Town.

On the way, Xu Ran told Song Wenli about some of the process of this expedition.

After listening to this, Song Wenli coughed for a while, and couldn't help sighing: "Who would have thought that the mages of the eight major tribes who advocate the true Ding culture would have such a powerful mysterious technological power, I always feel that it seems to be the black technology of aliens."

The altar sacrifice curse you are talking about, in fact, is a means of extinguishing the mouth arranged for the sake of secrecy, it is really vicious, people can't prevent it, we inhale it unconsciously should be a microbial virus, fortunately, modern medicine is developed, and there are antibiotics and other drugs have a certain resistance, so the virus will be latent and slowly attacked, if it is in ancient times, I am afraid that it will die in less than three days......"

Xu Ran's driving is in a state of automatic driving, so naturally he doesn't need to focus on road conditions.

After listening to Song Wenli's words, Xu Ran said: "Teacher, although this Huo family is said to be the descendants of the Yuezhi tribe, I guess they are probably in possession of many secrets left by the eight major tribes, whether it is Master Lian or Professor Luo, it seems that they have a hand to guard against them, do you know this?"

"You have to be on guard!"

Song Wenli nodded and said: "Such a powerful and rich ancient family, after centuries of ups and downs, still continues to this day, its heritage is not ordinarily powerful, they sometimes do things unscrupulously, the reason why Lao Luo and Lao Lian agreed to them is actually the Huo family's grace and power."

And Lao Lian is also eager to recover the lost numerology compass of their genre ancestors, but he didn't expect such a change to happen, he can't calculate it properly, and there will be a change in time and space for eight hundred years, according to superstition, this seems to be a certain number that is destined to be produced.

You have to use science to explain that this kind of space phenomenon is extremely rare, and it may involve quantum mechanics, cosmic space, geography, biology, high-energy physics and other disciplines, which is really broad and profound, which further shows that the unknown black technology mastered by that group of ancient mages is very likely to be developed by the evolution of normal civilization, but it is applied by them in the situation of religious deification......"

Xu Ran thought of something, so he took out the small stone from his pocket and handed it to Song Wenli and said: "Teacher, you and Professor Luo have been close friends for many years, you should know some of his habits, when I went to visit the ward, he quietly stuffed this thing to me with a monitor behind his back, I really can't see any mystery in it......

Song Wenli glanced at the small stone and said: "Lao Luo does have an unknown little habit, that is, when he does some confidential things, he will use some specific things instead, and it is also a way to transmit secret information, this small stone can be seen everywhere on the side of the road, it is not unusual, but the attributes of the small stone itself, Xiao Ran, do you know that this stone has a scientific name that is rarely mentioned?"

Xu Ran looked at the stone and thought for a while, "It's a river dry stone, right?"

Song Wenli said: "Then what about reading these three words in reverse?"

"Shiganhe?"

Xu Ran was a little puzzled, and said, "What does this Shigan River mean, I don't think I've ever heard of such a river?"

Song Wenli said: "You young people may not know the origin of this Shigan River, but among the older generation, there was a major discovery in the archaeological community, which was an ancient city found in the Tara Desert, when the ancient city had been destroyed, there was nothing left, and there was not much archaeological excavation value.

But later in the ancient city they found a very special stone tablet from a hidden underground palace, engraved with the word Shigan River, archaeologists at that time were very puzzled, thinking that Shigan River was an underground river, but at that time there was no underground river near the ancient city, and there were no riverbed remains found.

It wasn't until later that the border of Renqing Province found a magnetic mountain that could not be detected by instruments, and after the remains of an indigenous tribe were found in that mountain, a mysterious stele and palace engraved with the three words of Shiganhe were also found in the ruins, but there was more information left in the ruins of the palace, and archaeologists finally interpreted the meaning of Shiganhe through two comparisons, it turned out that it was not a river, but a place name, Lao Luo had translated this ancient script into the meaning of Chinese characters, and called it the cradle of God......"
