Six million annual salary, with a car, a driver, and a bodyguard.

For some reason, Ji Yiming suddenly remembered what Zhu Qianqian said to herself at the door of the office of the Department of History a few days ago.

"Regardless of the teacher-student relationship, in fact, there is a big gap between Goddess Jiang and you. ”

"You've been receiving poverty grants for the past four years, right? Our history department is not a major that can make a lot of money after graduation, do you really think that you are a goddess of this level with Teacher Jiang...... Is there a future?"

The way out for such an unpopular subject as the history department is either to stay in school as a teacher, or to take the civil service examination for literature and history.

Even if he has great hopes for the future, Ji Yiming never thought that he would be able to find a job with an "annual salary" after graduation - not to mention that the salary package in Yingxingtiankou is definitely the top position in China.

All the eyes that looked over.

Ying Xingtian's eyes were deep and he couldn't see any fluctuations, Yan Siguang was eagerly looking forward to just waiting for him to speak, Zhou Ze was full of provocation and anger mixed with thick disdain. Li Qi, Mo Chabai and the sloppy Ma Ben brothers were only pure curiosity.

A "good" is almost on the lips, but it seems to be stuck and I can't say it.

The bits and pieces in the process of interacting with Jiang Zhiyou and the process of cracking those hidden clues flashed in Ji Yiming's memories like a marquee. It seems that the curtain has been lifted, but there are still a few keys that are always hidden in the fog.

"Help you set up a formation at the Shanglin Lake node and sense the location of the main kiln, will you have a chance to find Jiang Zhiyou's whereabouts?"

He didn't say yes, he only turned his gaze to Yan Siguang and asked.

The latter did not hesitate: "She suddenly disappeared during the formation arrangement, I suspect it is because of the formation between the node and the main kiln,

There is a certain degree of overlap...... It was possible that she had been teleported directly into the nearby main kiln. ”

"But don't worry, if you make a mistake once, you won't make a second one. He lifted his glasses, and the little mung bean on his fat face flashed with wisdom in his eyes: "This time, what I want is that the node formation coincides with the main kiln formation." As soon as the induction between the two is present, I can figure out the latter position in a matter of seconds. Even if you are passed over like Jiang Zhiyou, we can quickly carry out rescue. ”

Ji Yiming still didn't answer Ying Xingtian's invitation, but asked the second question that he had been worried about for a long time: "Assuming that Zhi Youzhen was teleported into the main kiln area as you expected, then so many days have passed...... She ......"

Everyone but him looked at each other, and then laughed at the same time.

"There's a concept that I've been forgetting to popularize for you. Ying Xingtian coughed lightly and explained: "In the world of cultivators, people like you who have just broken through the life level and cultivated their inner breath and are beginning to approach the limit of the human body are called martial artists. Like Zhou Ze, who uses the formation with jade agate, cultivates the internal breath to the point that it has the power of a thousand jun when it is struck with mercury water and copper juice, and at the same time, the external strength and playing style are also tempered to a certain height, which is called a martial artist. ”

Zhou Ze, who was named, snorted lightly: "Within three years, I will break through to the Grandmaster realm." ”

Ying Xingtian was accustomed to this guy's reckless temperament and didn't pay attention to him, and only pointed at himself: "And someone like me who condenses his inner breath into substance, and no longer sticks to the so-called meridians and acupuncture points, is a martial arts master." Beings like ours have completely surpassed the limits of what human beings can reach. ”

"There is no threat from a master of the same level, who wants us to die...... Hard. ”

"Jiang Zhiyou, only one line away from the martial arts master. Even if you don't eat or drink for a few days in the ruins, you'll be fine. ”

Ji Yiming relaxed slightly, and his long-standing speculation was finally answered.

Jiang Zhiyou, who seemed to be weak and simple in front of him, was actually the group of cultivators who were close to the top.

At the end of a series of questions and answers, Ying Xingtian returned to the original "proposal".

"So what are your intentions for the position of Acting Minister of the Department of Ruins Exploration?"

Ji Yiming took a deep breath and pushed back the Audi key in front of him that was full of modern technology: "Thank you for your love,

But I'm sorry, I don't think I'm up to the job. ”

When he finished speaking, the atmosphere in the hall froze for almost a few seconds.

The old man Li Qi raised his eyebrows, and looked at Mo Chabai with a look of playfulness.

The two brothers, Ma Ben, who looked quite wooden, stared at them with wide eyes and disbelief.

A cold snort had reached the lips of the tall young man Zhou Ze, and he gasped for cold air and almost coughed out.

Only the hidden dragon yuan scientist yan siguang could not hide the disappointment on his face, looked at ji yiming and looked at win xingtian, it seems

I wanted to persuade him, because the latter had not yet spoken.

And just before Ying Xingtian wanted to speak, Ji Yiming took the initiative to say: "There is no problem in finding the main kiln, after all, my trip is for Jiang Zhiyou." As for whether or not to join your organization, I'll wait until I meet her before I think about it. ”

Yan Siguang's face immediately relaxed: "Okay! I will immediately arrange for someone to prepare, and I will be able to complete all the preliminary work before nine o'clock tonight at the latest." This time, there is a big win to suppress the formation, and there is no need to be afraid of the 'criminal soldiers' and the 'Yandao' group of guys. ”

Ying Xingtian glanced at Ji Yiming deeply, got up and left the conference room.

"Get in the best shape and set off at 8:30 tonight. ”

……

……

Not far from the Hangzhou Bay Hotel, less than a kilometer walk from Cixi city, there is another five-star Buckingham Hotel.

In the luxurious suite on the eleventh floor of the hotel, a silver-haired middle-aged man in a bathrobe is sitting at a table. A Cohiba Club cigar in one hand and a single malt Scotch whisky on ice in the other. On the laptop screen open in front of his desk, there is a video that is not very clear.

The video content is impressively everything that happened in the business conference room of Hangzhou Bay Hotel.

The image is a little blurry, and the sound is occasionally chopped. The silver-haired middle-aged man looked at it very seriously, and even rewound it several times and used EDIUS to adjust the sound track to reduce noise, converting every conversation into a non-textual record.

After a while, he bit his cigar and put down his wine glass and slowly got up, stood at the window and looked at the Hangzhou Bay Hotel a kilometer away.

There was a smile in his eyes that could not be concealed.

A black and white magpie robin landed on the windowsill, chirped at the silver-haired man, and then spat out a black moth the size of a thumb from its mouth, and then flapped its wings and flew into the sky.

The black moth didn't climb a few steps, but it was picked up by an invisible force and flew directly into the man's hand, and then was put into a delicate jade vial: "Win Xingtian...... I'm afraid you never dreamed that Qianlong Yuan, which has always been famous for embracing technology, will also be eavesdropped on and secretly photographed one day. ”

"The Mo family's mechanism technique is combined with the top micro wireless video camera, and then combined with the top Gu technique of the insect path to conceal the aura. No matter how keen your martial arts master is, it is impossible for you to spot this precious little thing. ”

The door of the suite room of the Buckingham Jue Hotel opened, and a tall and strong man who was not inferior to Zhou Ze walked in and whispered a few words to the silver-haired middle-aged man.

The latter shook his glass and drank the amber Thirty-Year-Old Macallan in one gulp, a slight look of excitement on his face.

"Jiang Zhiyou disappeared in the pseudo-unification formation, and the back hand left behind is actually the contemporary Ji family's heirloom ......"

He took out a custom-made mobile phone with a strange shape, and directly gave a few instructions: "The battle between the two emperors of Yan and Huang was so fierce back then, I didn't expect that thousands of years later, their descendants would be able to talk about a relationship." ”

As the silver-haired man's command was issued, a large number of cultivators who were hiding in Cixi City began to take action.

"The old guys of Yan Dao don't need to know, but that group of 'worm and pig dao' who play Gu are not as early as you think...... Playing with bloodlines, they're experts!"

——In the small town south of the Yangtze River in late summer and autumn, there is an undercurrent surging under the seemingly quiet and peaceful atmosphere.

……

……

For a whole afternoon, Ji Yiming was studying "Cixi County Chronicles".

He always felt that Jiang Zhiyou left him the Han Eight Swords Jade Cicada, and these two books that could only be found through Dewey's decimal code,

There should be a deeper secret hidden.

- Why did she arrange her back hand in advance before she disappeared in the pseudo-Great Unification Formation?

——The project leader on the side of Shanglin Lake is in distress, and according to Yan Siguang, he is the best chance to find the main kiln and rescue Jiang Zhiyou. So why the past four or five days...... And he had to make an invitation only after he cracked such an obscure clue and came to Shanglin Lake in person?

——Just to help them sense the formation, even if there is danger, it is impossible for him to refuse because of Jiang Zhiyu, why would Ying Xingtian give such a lucrative position?

——These people call Jiang Zhiyou "Miss", and Ying Xingtian "Adult". What are these two identities?

Many mysteries pressed in his heart, which made him wary of Ying Xingtian and the entire "Hidden Dragon Yuan" organization.

"In any case, Zhiyou will definitely not harm me to others. ”

So...... More secrets may be hidden in the two books, especially the "Cixi County Chronicles" that Jiang Zhiyou once folded.

Flipping through the pages, the history of this small city in the south of the Yangtze River is like a picture scroll, showing in front of Ji Yiming's eyes.

"In the twenty-sixth year of the first emperor, the county was divided"

"At the beginning of the founding of the armed forces, rice was widely planted, and silkworm farming, weaving, and paper burning ceramics were gradually started"

"Three Kingdoms, Wu. During the Chiwu period, the Indian monk Na Luoyan cultivated in Wulei Mountain, and Tang built Lingshan Zen Temple"

"From the first year to the third year of Xiankang, there was a great drought. Doumi is worth five hundred, and the people have each other. ”

When he turned to this one, Ji Yiming's hand trembled slightly.

As a history student at Hanzhong University, he knows very well that the word "xiangfu" means how much life and death are parted.

-- There is a great drought in the sky, and the people are struggling to make a living. Only by selling their children and daughters can they survive.

"Mane" was sold together, but when the drought lasted for three years...... It's hard not to be reminded of another idiom.

"Easy to eat".

The original meaning of the word "鬻" was porridge......

He didn't dare or want to imagine it any longer, and was about to turn the page when his fingers suddenly stopped for a second time.

Under the word drought, there is a shallow scratch.

The scratches are extremely shallow. It was so shallow that if it weren't for Ji Yiming, who had already turned this page for the second time, he was so serious that he didn't want to miss every word, so he noticed the difference with his keen eyes.

This is?

He leaned in to take a closer look, then slid his fingertips over it, finally confirming that it was a scratch carved with his fingernails—perhaps obvious at first, but becoming as imperceptible as time passed.

According to the computer records of the school library, "Yue Kiln Celadon Appreciation" has been borrowed several times, as for this unpopular "Cixi County Chronicles" in the old paper pile, there have only been two records of borrowing since the establishment of the museum.

Once it was himself, and once it was naturally Jiang Zhiyou.

So, is this sentence another clue?

Ji Yiming didn't guess the meaning first, but quickly and carefully flipped through the whole book, and after making sure that only scratches were left here, he turned back to this page and frowned slightly.

From the first year to the third year of Xiankang, there was a great drought.

If I remember correctly, Xiankang was the second era name of the Eastern Jin Dynasty Emperor Sima Yan, a total of eight years.

Sima Yan, the emperor, ascended the throne at the age of four, and died in the same year after giving way to his younger brother Sima Yue, the king of Langya, at the age of twenty-two.

In the 18 years of his reign, the real power was called "Xiankang" for several years.

His political achievements in his life were lackluster, but he made great achievements in calligraphy. It is said that "life knows the meaning of grass, and Yingwu is well-versed",

The work is "strong and cool, and the ancient style is contained", but unfortunately it is only recorded and no works have been handed down.

"At the beginning of the Xiankang year, eastern Zhejiang, known as the land of fish and rice, actually had a great drought, and a drought was three years. Thinking about it this way, it is indeed a bit strange. ”

The Eastern Jin Dynasty was not regarded as a unified dynasty in the whole country, and the entire ruling area was basically concentrated in the south of the Yangtze River. If the three-year drought in Cixi has even reached the point where "the people have a mutual relationship", then why is there no record of the great drought in the Eastern Jin Dynasty during the Xiankang period in history?

Unless this great drought ...... It only occurs in Cixi or Shanglin Huyue kiln production area.

Ji Yiming remembered the guess of the "scientist" Yan Siguang: there are more than 120 Yue kilns on the side of Shanglin Lake, and each one may be equipped with a formation to help promote the fire.

With the help of the Great Unification Formation of the Yamagata Lake, most of the formation was destroyed due to changes in the landform, resulting in the mutilation of the formation.

If this happened in the first year of Jin Xiankang......

Will it cause all the kiln formations to get out of control, thus triggering a natural disaster of three consecutive droughts?

The celadon bowl on the title page of Cixi County is decorated with a treasure phase pattern, and the unearthed age is the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Does the missing part correspond to the failure of the formation caused by the change of the landform during that time?

Thinking of this, he quickly took the other book "Appreciation of Yue Kiln Celadon" in his hand and read it carefully again.

"Sure enough!"

Compared with the celadon produced before the Eastern Jin Dynasty and the one produced later, there are extremely obvious differences in terms of shape, color and charm.

If this layer is not considered, professional archaeologists and historians will only regard this as the aesthetic change of the times, and will not deliberately study this point in the development of celadon firing - let alone think of the real reason, which is the different kiln firing effect caused by the reconstruction after the formation is destroyed.

So Jiang Zhiyou, has you already done your research here?

Ji Yiming rubbed his eyebrows and exhaled a breath of turbidity, although he found an important new clue, but when he arrived here, he was completely cut off - knowing that with the help of the natural landform, the Great Unification Formation was destroyed in the Xiankang period of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. This may be a precious research material for Yan Siguang, but it does not help his current situation

Ji Yiming didn't even go out all afternoon, and even called room service for dinner. Unfortunately, a second useful clue was never found in the two books.

Before I knew it, the clock had reached half past eight.
