Chapter 5: The First Pebble
"Professor, it's not easy to argue this, although the Jerusalem Guardianship Group of Eight is not good, but I believe that with your qualifications, you will definitely be able to see the real bronze scroll.
As for the ancient map of the Dead Sea, it won't be difficult to think of, even if the National Museum of Israel refuses to lend it, we can just get a copy. Xing Jie said.
The professor paced back and forth in the room, rubbing his hands together.
Xing Jie smiled, knowing that the professor's old mistake had been made. In the innermost layer of the luggage, he took out a bottle of five-year-old Monchoxie wine. After opening it, he poured a cup and handed it to the professor.
The professor began to get excited as he sipped his wine.
"If this argument is true, it would be fantastic. ”
After finishing speaking, he drank the wine in the cup in one gulp, put on his clothes and rushed out.
Since the professor is not there, it is good news for the rest of the group, although it was their dream to come to Kiber Quinnland to participate in the excavation of the Dead Sea Scrolls, but the gap between this dream and reality is a little too obvious.
They are among the top ten universities on campus, and the top students in the history department of the University of Chicago are also the existence that a group of students need to look up to.
But here, anyone who can participate in the excavation is a well-known expert and scholar. was called back and forth as a little brother, which made them very unhappy.
Professor Aziz has something to do in the afternoon today, so he doesn't have to eat and drink the wind and drink the soil, which makes Amy and the others excited.
"Jay, what's wrong with the Professor? I saw him rushing frantically toward Jerusalem?" Amy asked.
"I don't know, I just told him he wanted to go to the Dead Sea over the weekend, and he drove out. Maybe it's too lonely and I want to find spiritual solace. Xing Jie shrugged his shoulders and said.
Since Professor Aziz asked Xing Jie to be careful of Amy, then he will talk nonsense about truth and falsehood, after all, Asher knows something, if he leaks out one day, wouldn't he be even more suspicious?
"Oh my God, I'm so dizzy every day that I forgot that this place is so close to the Dead Sea. Jay, how about we go swimming together on the weekend? It is said that the mineral salts produced there are very famous, and if you use them regularly, they have a good effect on the skin. ”
"Of course there is no problem, as long as the workaholic professor does not arrange overtime, I will gladly accompany the beautiful Miss Amy to swim. ”
"Weekends are sacrosanct, even God has to rest on weekends!
"Not today, because I asked someone to bring some ingredients back, and if I don't deal with them quickly, there will be no food to eat in the evening." Of course, if you choose to eat white bread and drink coffee, I have no opinion. ”
Amy, a girl from a wealthy family, has completely degenerated, and when she hears the word food, she can't help but start her eyes to shine.
At the same time, Miller, who came with her to inquire about the news, said softly: "Amy, I think if the professor comes back later and finds that he can only eat white bread, he will definitely be furious. I assure you, you're never happy to see a professor like that. ”
The small side drum played at a good level, and Xing Jie vaguely cast an approving look at Miller. Then he turned and walked towards the barracks of the Israeli army.
Miller wanted to pursue Amy, and that was something the whole group knew. Just now, Amy invited Xing Jie to swim on the weekend, which already made him a little unhappy, not to mention that this Xing Jie is just a life assistant.
Xing Jie also understood what Miller was thinking, and he was also happy to be quiet. Now his biggest thought is to get through these few months honestly.
Professor Aziz is well paid, and even if he pays off the money he owes his family, there is still a lot left.
Opening a small restaurant is Xing Jie's biggest ambition at present.
The Israeli army was stationed at the bottom of a small dirt hill, which was said to be a barracks, but nothing more than a bungalow. Besides, this is not a strategic place, but it is to protect those so-called experts and scholars, and in addition, I don't want the Palestinians to take advantage, so I built a few houses here.
The same is true on the Palestinian side.
Before the ingredients were shipped back, the bored Xing Jie staggered to the hill.
Looking around, the poetry is flourishing, but there is really not much ink in the stomach. Isn't it painful enough to memorize the lesson of the previous ??, when I was in school, and finally forbidden the mantra 'to recite the full text'?
Thinking of what he said to Professor Aziz today, Xing Jie couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive in his heart. Although the shape was exactly the same as on the map, Professor Aziz really agreed. But what if it's really just a coincidence? It's not like this hasn't happened before.
Wouldn't that be a shame?
But now that it's hard to ride a tiger, it's useless to think about it. All you can do is pray that Professor Aziz will not be angry at the end.
The more he thought about it, the more worried Xing Jie began to pace back and forth on the top of the hill.
It's still too young and impulsive.
"Fuck it, dead balls up. It's a big deal, Lao Tzu was driven home, what else can I do?" Thinking of this, Xing Jie kicked a round stone fiercely.
So what is known as the most controversial discovery of this century was kicked out.
Later, a reporter from the American Geographic magazine interviewed Xing Jie, and when asked about this, he smiled mysteriously and said that he may have received God's guidance at that time.
Whether it was guided by God or not, no one else knows. At that time, Xing Jie had already greeted all the matrilineal relatives of the Jade Emperor, the Buddha, the Lord, and all the great gods and ancestors who could shout.
Why? Because his foot was about to break.
Xing Jie hugged his feet, pointing to the sky and muttering, while looking at the stone curiously.
It's just a round stone that looks like a ping-pong ball, why is it so heavy?
And the appearance of such a shape of stone in such a place is not scientific at all.
This is not a riverside, it is the top of a mountain, although it is only a small dirt bag, but it is also dozens of meters high. Even if there are various weathering effects, there should not be a stone of this shape, which is fundamentally different from the schist around it.
Use your hands as shovels, and you can only suffer flesh and blood.
But now Xing Jie can't care about his fleshy hands, looking at the stone shape under the round stone, he is already a little stupid.
Whoever told Xing Jie now that this cone-shaped stone was caused by weathering, Xing Jie would definitely spit on his face. It's definitely artificial! But what is it? The amount of labor required for such a statue to be tens of meters high is absolutely astronomical, and after the hard work of making it, it is buried in the earth?
What would happen like this?
The mound of sealed earth for the grave!Damn, only mausoleums do this!
And it's definitely a mausoleum of awesome people. But this is the wilderness of Kiber Quinland, where there is desert everywhere, and who can do that without the rich Pharaohs of Egypt?
Go back!
"Haha, this time Lao Tzu is developed. After Xing Jie reburied the pit he had dug in three strokes and divided five by two, he turned around and rushed to the camp like a madman.
Miller and Amy, Wilson, went to the Dead Sea together, Davis was reading in his room, and Rodriguez was sitting in the courtyard, leisurely drinking Xing Jie's black tea.
If it was usual, Xing Jie would definitely sit down and enjoy this rare afternoon tea together. But now there was no time, and after saying hello to Rodriguez, he rushed into Professor Aziz's room.
"Professor, where are you? I have something to tell you. ”
"Haha, dear Jay, I'm in a hurry to wait. I was too excited to tell you. Good news for you. I carefully examined the bronze scroll with a team of eight overseers, and we all agreed that there was a good chance that your speculation would be high.
However, the earliest map of the Dead Sea in the National Museum of Israel is only 600 years old. But it doesn't matter, the mentors here have already started to mobilize all their strength to find the earlier map.
If you're right, a shocking secret will unfold.
If it's true, then get ready, you're going to be famous. I would like to congratulate you in one of your Chinese words, and that is that you will go down in history!" Professor Aziz said with a maniacian smile on the other end of the phone.
"Ah, Lao Tzu is going to be famous, famous in history, these four words will also fall on me?" Xing Jie was stunned and muttered.
"Well, you're right!
Xing Jie shook his head, calmed down and said in a low voice: "Professor, if you don't know anything about it later, it's better for you to come back first." Because I found a little bit more. ”
"What do you find comparable to this?"
"Not far from our camp, I seem to have found a mausoleum!"
"This can't be, I've never heard of any mausoleum in this area of Kiber Quenland!"
"Damn, it's true, if you don't believe me, I'll take a picture of you, wait. ”
After speaking, Xing Jie picked up the phone and rushed out.
……
"What's wrong with Jay? running around like a gust of wind?" Davis asked Rodriguez as he looked at Xing Jie's distant back.
"I don't know, but at noon he seemed to have asked the Israelites to bring him some kind of food. Miss Amy also said that Jay would strike again tonight. Rodriguez said with a shrug.
"Seriously, I think the life assistant that Professor Aziz hired this time is really good. The Chinese food is awesome and the people are very kind. Davis said, pulling his glasses on.
"Well, you're right, that lamb at noon, my God, I never thought that it would taste so good just for such simple cooking. I must travel to China, Davis, why don't we do it together?" Rodriguez said with a smile.
"Okay, I'm going to definitely go in the future. Davis turned back with that, but there was a strange glint in his eyes.
This kind of essence is chilling.
