Chapter 8: First Encounter with the Practitioner

The two came to Xidu Railway Station, found the pick-up point of the summer camp, and then took the shuttle bus to Xidu University.

Xidu University has a long history and profound cultural heritage, ranking 16th among universities in the country, and students walk in pairs, with laughter and laughter from time to time, mixed with poetry and poetry or academic discussions, vaguely showing a strong learning atmosphere.

Xiao Ning suddenly thought of something: "Mr. Wang, does Xidu University have a major in ancient language and literature or archaeology?"

"Yes, the archaeology major of Xidu University is very famous, and a few years ago, tombs were excavated and a large number of cultural relics of the Western Zhou Dynasty were unearthed, which made great contributions to the study of Western Zhou culture. Wang Siying replied casually.

"After reporting for that moment, you go back to the hotel first, and I'll take a look. Xiao Ning arranged the itinerary for the teacher.

"Little ghost, what do you want to do?" Wang Siying questioned Xiao Ning's thoughts and asked.

"I'm curious about ancient languages, culture, and archaeology, and I want to take this free time to learn about it. Xiao Ning dealt casually.

Wang Siying didn't interfere with Xiao Ning too much, and after registration, she went to the hotel with her suitcase, and Xiao Ning went to inquire about the teaching and research department of archaeology.

Inquire and learn that the most famous archaeology major is Professor Hao, who is in school at this time, Xiao Ning's divine sense swept the entire building, wanting to quickly locate the location of the teaching and research department, but the accident happened, when the divine sense swept through the office on the second floor, it seemed to be perceived, and there was a collision of divine consciousness, the other party's divine sense is not strong, but it is a real cultivator.

There is a master here, Xiao Ning found that this divine sense happened to come from the archaeology professional office, Xiao Ning quickly came to the second floor, wanting to see who this master was, so he knocked on the door and asked, "Is Professor Hao here?"

"What are you looking for Professor Hao, little friend?" asked a young teacher.

"I don't know some words, and many people don't know what they are, so I want to ask Professor Hao. Xiao Ning explained his intentions.

"Oh, can you write it out and I'll take a look?" The young teacher stepped forward and looked at Xiao Ning curiously, thinking that it was a teacher's child who came to ask a question.

Unexpectedly, the words written by Xiao Ning were like ghost drawings, and the young teacher looked confused, looking like a font, but he had never seen it. So he took the words written by Xiao Ning and walked into the room.

"Teacher, have you ever seen such a word?" asked the teacher a few years ago, handing over the note.

Professor Hao put on his eyes and took the note. After reading it carefully, he asked, "Where is the person who wrote these words?"

"Right at the door, it's a child. ”

"Come in, please. ”

The young teacher called Xiao Ning in and went straight to his own business.

"Little friend, did you write this?" Professor Hao was a little puzzled when he saw that it was a child who came in, but he still asked.

"Yes, I saw it on a hide, I don't know it, I want to ask for advice. Xiao Ning replied.

"Can you show me the animal skin?" Professor Hao did not answer Xiao Ning's question, but became interested in the animal skin, and it seemed that he knew it.

Xiao Ning knew that this professor was a cultivator, and he had also cultivated his divine sense, this person was not simple, he cared so much about animal skins, it seemed that animal skins had a lot of origins, and they needed to be treated with caution. "I didn't bring the hides, but I just wrote down a few paragraphs, and you can see if I wrote them correctly. Xiao Ning lied casually, and then wrote a paragraph silently.

"This is the Shang Dynasty text, and the content is probably that an immortal cultivator has cultivated into an immortal. Professor Hao replied casually.

Professor Hao lied, this is obviously a piece of exercise, how can it become a story of cultivating immortals? Xiao Ning silently realized that something was wrong, and changed his words and asked, "How do you read these words?" Does the professor have a comparative translation of the Shang Dynasty text, I want to see it. ”

"There is no comparative translation yet, I only found some of these questions through some ancient ruins, and I can't translate them all, if I can get a complete text, I believe I will be able to decipher it soon. Professor Hao probed further.

"I can't remember that much, so I just remembered a paragraph, and I don't know if it's right. Xiao Ning said.

"Then can you take me to see the animal skin, I will compare it to know if you have made a mistake, and this animal skin should be a cultural relic, and our laboratory can buy it from you." "Professor Hao's goal is to go straight to animal skins.

Xiao Ning only realized that he was careless today, and it seemed that he had to find a chance to get out, otherwise he would be in trouble.

"This is my dad's belongings, I have seen this paragraph copied down once, and the animal skin was put away by my dad. Xiao Ning began to lie, hoping to block Professor Hao.

"Where is your father, can you take me to meet him?" Professor Hao asked again.

"My dad went out to work and came to study in the Western Capital. You give me the phone number and I write to him and ask him to contact you. Xiao Ning resorted to the golden cicada's shelling plan and pushed everything to his father, who had been lost for many years.

Professor Hao didn't realize that an eight- or nine-year-old child lied and didn't type a draft, and began to retreat to the next thing: "That's fine, I'll translate this text as soon as possible, I'm worried that there will be a mistake, you write to your dad as soon as possible, and I won't make a mistake when I get the original copy." ”

Xiao Ning thanked Professor Hao, took his phone number and quit the archaeology department. He walked out of the building without looking back, and his consciousness was released, and he found that there was a gaze watching him, and a figure following him behind him, too bad, he was being followed, and he had to find a way to get rid of it.

Xiao Ning walked out of Xidu University, his divine sense swept through the nearby block, found a primary school, quickly walked towards this school, walked to the gate of the primary school and found that the person who was following him was still there, so he walked in quickly, at this time it was the afternoon class time, and there were students entering the school, Xiao Ning mixed in with the students and followed in, and the person who followed was stopped by the doorman, so he had to turn around and retreat.

Xiao Ning quickly exited the campus and followed the past in reverse, and the stalker did not return to the school office, but walked towards the family area.

The stalker walked to the phone booth downstairs for the family, picked up the phone and dialed a number, which was quickly picked up.

"Master, the target has entered West Street Elementary School, and it seems that he is a student of this school. ”

"Did he find out about you and deliberately dump you?" said Professor Hao's voice on the phone.

"No, he walked straight to the school, without a detour or turning back. ”

"You have to be careful, I met a master today, my sense is stronger than mine, I don't know if it has anything to do with him, you keep an eye on the school during this time, see who he is in contact with, it may be someone else sent to inquire about the news, find the person who contacted him and track him to his address. After saying that, he hung up the phone, and Xiao Ning withdrew his consciousness and walked towards the hotel.

It seems that the content on the animal skin has aroused the desire of the other party, and this Professor Hao is probably collecting cultivation exercises and resources in the name of archaeology. If he finds out that he is carrying animal skins, he will inevitably rob him, and his wealth will not be exposed, and he will be guilty, and it seems that he will have to be more careful in the future.
