Chapter 389 - Paying Out of My Own Pocket to Investigate

At noon on this day, Zhou Xiaolong saw Director Tao walking towards the dormitory building.

After saying hello, Director Tao said to Zhou Xiaolong: "By the way, Xiaolong, Professor Cui is looking for you, you go to the department office, Professor Cui is waiting for you there!" ”

Zhou Xiaolong nodded and said, "Well, okay, I'll go over now." ”

When I arrived at the department's office, Professor Cui was sitting at his desk looking at the materials, with a thick stack of materials in his hand and many photos on the table.

Professor Cui was very busy, with his head down, he was engrossed, wearing reading glasses for a while, and then raising a magnifying glass, looking very serious.

Seeing that Professor Cui was so busy, Zhou Xiaolong was not embarrassed to disturb, and stood behind and waited for a while, until Professor Cui turned back the water cup and found that Zhou Xiaolong had already come.

"Hey, Xiaolong, you're here, why didn't you tell me?" Professor Cui said to Zhou Xiaolong with a smile.

"It's okay, I'm not in a hurry anyway." Zhou Xiaolong also said with a smile.

"Hurry up, sit down, little dragon, I'll tell you something." Professor Cui beckoned Zhou Xiaolong to sit down.

"What's the matter?!" Zhou Xiaolong asked curiously.

"Xiaolong, do you remember the dungeon we went to together this spring?" Professor Cui picked up a few photos and said.

Zhou Xiaolong looked down at the photo, and he remembered that Professor Cui probably said that Zhou Xiaolong and Professor Cui participated in the field expedition for the first time.

That is, the broken temple with a coffin, Zhou Xiaolong found that there was a mechanism on the coffin floor, and then everyone went down together from there, and behind a wall, they found a dungeon that was not very large.

Although the area of the underground palace is not very large, there are many murals in it, which are very valuable, and Professor Cui was fascinated when he saw it, and said at that time that this mural is worth studying carefully.

At this moment, the content of the photos Zhou Xiaolong saw was mainly those murals, as if they were also taken by Gu Lili herself at that time.

Although half a year has passed since this incident, Zhou Xiaolong naturally has not forgotten it, it seems that Professor Cui has not given up studying those murals, and has been quietly studying.

Professor Cui explained to Zhou that after he repeatedly studied the photos of the murals, Professor Cui found some words and symbols on the murals.

In the most important text paragraphs, three words are found, which are used most frequently.

Hearing this, Zhou Xiaolong asked, what are the three words?

Professor Cui wrote three words on a piece of paper with a pen - Yun Qingshan!

Yun Qingshan, Zhou Xiaolong felt that these three words seemed to refer to a place name.

"Yun Qingshan? Does that sound like a place name?! Zhou Xiaolong said casually.

"yes, that's what I thought, too." Professor Cui nodded in agreement.

"Then what does this name have to do with the murals in those dungeons?!" Zhou Xiaolong was brought into it and began to feel interesting.

"Yun Qingshan, if I guess right, should refer to Yun Qingshan in Shu, there was a metaphysical heavenly master, because of a coincidence, cruising to this mountain, seeing the deep and secluded here, knotting Mao preaching, the aura is indulgent, so he went up the mountain to explore, and because of coincidence, this metaphysical master found a hole, and in the cave to understand the doctrine of the way of heaven, from which the mountain was established......"

Professor Cui chewed the words and said a long paragraph, Zhou Xiaolong heard it in a fog, although he didn't know what Professor Cui wanted to say, but listening to the name Yun Qingshan, it felt like a fairy mountain.

Zhou Xiaolong nodded, looked at Professor Cui and said, "If this Yunqing Mountain is a famous mountain of the Immortal Family, then what does it have to do with the mural of the underground palace, and the content on the mural does describe the process of a person's salvation, since the words on the mural refer to it, will there be any connection between it?!" ”

Soon, Professor Cui asked Zhou Xiaolong, "Xiaolong, do you think we should go there and have a look?" ”

Zhou Xiaolong was also very interested, and immediately agreed: "Okay! ”

Professor Cui was very happy when he saw Zhou Xiaolong agree, and then said: "This organization activity was initiated by the relevant departments, why did you launch this activity?" That's because, in recent years, the cultural relics market has set off a niche category of collection fever, a lot of magic vessels, statues, ancient murals have become the eyes of collectors of fragrant bait, so that the items sold on the market are uneven, true and false are difficult to distinguish, therefore, the relevant departments let each university archaeology department form a team to conduct a national cultural survey, haha, what a coincidence, this time I will report that our archaeology department is going to Yunqing Mountain to investigate, the above will definitely be able to pass this application, It's hard to survive in the city on such a hot day, this summer vacation, let's take it as a tour of the mountains and rivers, don't you say it's okay?! ”

Professor Cui was full of interest, and Zhou Xiaolong was also full of expectations, this trip to Yunqing Mountain was imperative.

……

Now Yunqing Mountain is already a tourist attraction, as long as you buy a mountain ticket, you can naturally go up the mountain to visit.

One day at noon in early July, the sun outside was baking the earth, and in an authentic local restaurant, four strange people were sitting.

An old man in a wilderness adventure suit, a little fat man in a straw hat, a young girl with a good figure, and a young man with a big pill head, but who looks like a fairy and a bone.

These four people are none other than Professor Cui, Ouyang Lei, Gu Lili and Zhou Xiaolong.

Ouyang Lei's eyes kept rolling towards the red dishes on the table, and his mouth kept smashing, panting and drooling.

"Don't just look at it, when are we going to eat?!" Ouyang Lei couldn't help but swallow another mouthful of saliva and said.

"Isn't the dish we ordered a little too spicy?!" Gu Lili said with a frown.

Gu Lili is right, indeed, the spicy smell of this table of food fills people's nostrils, and Zhou Xiaolong also feels that eating such a spicy meal in such a hot weather will it be hot?

"If you can't eat spicy food, don't do it, eat more rice and less vegetables, follow the local customs, let's just eat some casually!" Professor Cui said, picking up a piece of spicy tofu and placing it in his bowl.

That's right, Professor Cui and Zhou Xiaolong went to other places to investigate, and this time the destination was Yunqing Mountain.

Some people may ask, since it is an activity initiated by the relevant departments, how many people do we participate in the inspection?

The reason is this, under the call of the relevant departments, Jinhai University and the city's archaeological society originally approved this expedition, but later the relevant departments looked at the list of members and felt that Professor Cui's age was too old.

Such an old professor, if he goes out, I'm afraid it's not safe, and it's still summer, in case he gets a heat stroke halfway, who is responsible?!
