Chapter 1329: An Unexpected Archaeological Discovery
Although he had some understanding of the abilities of immortal cultivators, Xiao Tian was still shocked.
Xiao Fan really came too fast.
When he heard Xiao Fan say on the phone that he was in Europe, he asked the secretary to inform the relevant departments that the meeting would start on time at three o'clock tomorrow afternoon.
Who knew that not long after he hung up the phone, Xiao Fan appeared directly in Ouchi and came to his official residence.
Xiao Fan came in in in a car, and the Ouchi Security Office gave him a special pass, so that he could enter and exit Ouchi at any time without any inspection. This is the highest level of pass, and to date, no more than a hundred people have received this treatment.
The reason why he went to such a great deal of trouble was that Xiao Fan didn't want too many people to know that he was an immortal cultivator.
Let everyone know that President Xiao Tian has an immortal cultivator brother, which may not be a good thing. Once known by the Xuanwu Realm and the Blood Clan, I am afraid that it will bring unnecessary trouble to Xiao Tian.
However, even if there was a small delay, it was enough for Xiao Tian to be surprised.
Even if Xiao Fan hung up his phone and immediately boarded the special plane to rush here, he couldn't come so quickly.
The speed of the Great Cultivator in the late Yuan Infant Period was definitely not something that ordinary mortals could imagine. What's more, Xiao Fan is proficient in the Wind Escape Technique, and he is also outstanding among the monks of the same level. I'm afraid it's not much better than the ordinary Enlightenment Period Ancestor.
"What's the situation?"
Xiao Fan didn't greet politely, and asked bluntly.
In order not to cause a fuss among the people around him, Xiao Zhenren used the disguise technique to cleverly make his appearance twenty years older, looking the same age as Xiao Tian. In this way, no one will wonder why President Shaw's brother is so much younger than him.
As for the few personal guards who had seen Xiao Zhenren's side that night. After so much time, where can I still have such a clear memory?
I'm afraid in their minds. President Xiao's brother is what he is now, and he has never changed.
"That's right. As I told you, not long ago, a large spiritual vein was discovered near the snowy plateau, and the people of the Xuanwu Realm informed us that we would mine the spiritual stone within three months, and asked us to move all the mortals in the central area of the spiritual vein within three months, so as not to hinder the cultivation of immortal cultivators. Therefore, in the past two months, we have seized the time to relocate, and we must also try to move away some cultural relics and historic sites...... As a result, experts found an ancient temple hidden for many years on a snowy peak on the east side of the plateau. Something very strange happened in there......"
Xiao Tian personally made tea for his brother while introducing the situation.
"Be specific."
"Let them tell you, they've been there." Xiao Tian nodded, and then said to the secretary beside him: "Inform everyone to come over for a meeting, right away." ”
"Yes, President!"
The secretary replied respectfully, and immediately walked to the desk to make a phone call.
Adhering to the principle of special affairs, the team of experts is directly responsible to the Office of the President, which is extremely efficient. In less than an hour, the archaeologists, who had just dispersed, reassembled in the small conference room next to the president's office.
Xiao Tian personally accompanied Xiao Fan to the conference room.
Except for archaeologists. The meeting was also attended by several senior military generals.
Such a large-scale relocation operation must be completed within three months, and it is impossible to achieve the goal without using the army. In order to ensure the personal safety of the vast majority of citizens in the relocation area. Sometimes coercive measures have to be taken. In the face of the strong demands of immortal cultivators, such a migration action. There must be no nail household.
To Xiao Fan's surprise, he actually found an "immortal cultivator" in the archaeological team.
This is a specialist in his forties. As you can see from his seat, he is the head of the archaeological team. Xiao Fan sensed extremely faint spiritual power fluctuations from his body, and he should be at the level of a beginner disciple in the Qi cultivation period.
However, after Xiao Fan investigated this person with the power of divine thoughts, he was immediately relieved.
This person should be an ancient martial arts master.
Ancient martial arts masters who have cultivated to an extremely high realm can often automatically break through and step into the ranks of low-level cultivators, which is equivalent to the level of low-level disciples in the Qi cultivation period. But that's all, if you don't have the guidance of a true cultivator, you will have to stop at such achievements for the rest of your life, and you can't go any further.
In the mortal group, this is very remarkable, not only means strong combat power, double the health of the body, but also means a much longer life than ordinary mortals.
As long as there are no accidents, a 100-year life span is never a problem.
Everyone was also curious about the gentleman who was personally accompanied by the president. Of course, on such an occasion, no one will show this curiosity, and even hide their eyes well, otherwise it will be rude.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this is Mr. Xiao, who is also an archaeological expert, and he has studied the history and habits of immortal cultivators......
Without any greetings, Xiao Tian introduced Xiao Fan's "identity" straight to the point.
In this regard, a group of experts naturally disagree.
Now sitting in this conference room is already the best archaeological expert and history expert in the whole country, but he has never heard of "Mr. Xiao", as for President Xiao to introduce him as an archaeological expert, it is simply nonsense. How can there be an archaeologist they have never even heard of?
"May I ask which institution did Mr. Xiao work in before?"
The archaeologist who practiced ancient martial arts asked very unceremoniously.
Even in front of the president, be questioned.
The difference between an expert and a politician is still significant.
Xiao Fan glanced at him, smiled and said, "Dr. Tao, this question is not the point. Let's cut to the chase, what did you find in the depths of the snowy mountains? ”
With the power of Xiao Fan's divine thoughts, these ordinary mortals almost know what they are thinking, and everyone here has almost no secrets about him, casually calling out the surname of the expert, just waiting for leisure.
Dr. Tao was about to speak, but Xiao Tian's eyes had already swept over very sternly, and he said in a deep voice, "Dr. Tao, we don't have much time to quarrel. Cut to the chase! ”
Dr. Tao was taken aback and couldn't help but nod.
The president has a point, it doesn't matter who this Mr. Xiao is, the important thing is that there is only less than half a month before the three-month period stipulated by the Jinpeng people, and he must hurry up, otherwise it will be difficult to remove the one in the ancient temple safely.
The lights in the conference room dimmed, and the experts began to play a video of their entire expedition to the ancient temple.
Xiao Fan is no stranger to the ancient temple on the snowy mountain, he has seen the temple of the masters in the depths of the snowy mountain, it is really a snowy mountain, isolated from the world. Only a monk who is truly interested in seeking the path of enlightenment can let go of the worldly qiē and hide in such a worldly place to quietly practice penance.
According to experts, the ancient temple is close to desertion, and only two elderly lamas are practicing penance in the temple. During the short period of frost every year, believers from hundreds of miles away will trek through mountains and rivers to deliver necessary daily necessities to the master in the temple, and burn incense and pray in the temple for good weather and good life in the coming year.
Similar ancient temples are not isolated in the snowy plateau.
However, the ancient temple was built very old, which greatly exceeded their expectations. According to the records of some classics in the temple and the scientific determination of the building, experts found that the history of this ancient temple is extremely long, and it was built tens of thousands of years ago.
"Tens of thousands of years? Is it 20,000 years or 30,000 years? Or 40,000 years? ”
Xiao Fan interrupted the expert's introduction and asked staringly.
Whether it is 40,000 years, 30,000 years or 20,000 years, it has far exceeded the inheritance period of plateau Buddhism. Even according to the oldest legends, the earliest origins of Highland Buddhism can only be traced back more than 10,000 years.
The expert in charge of the introduction looked at Dr. Tao and swallowed, not knowing how to answer Xiao Fan's question.
Dr. Tao smiled bitterly and said, "According to carbon isotope determination, this ancient temple was built at least 30,000 years ago, and maybe even older......
Although carbon isotope determination is a very scientific method, it is generally not error-prone. However, an ancient Buddhist temple built 30,000 years ago is completely beyond the common sense of all the experts here. Because human civilization has been recorded for thousands of years. Buddhism originated even later. As for the origin of Buddhism, which dates back more than 10,000 years, it is completely myths and legends, without any scientific basis.
Xiao Fan didn't show any surprise, just nodded slightly.
"In addition to the age of the construction of this ancient temple, what else have you found in the temple?"
Dr. Tao glanced at him and then said, "We also found such a sign and a ...... in the temple Labyrinth ......"
When it comes to "labyrinth", Dr. Tao visibly hesitates, as if the definition of "labyrinth" is a bit vague and not enough to cover their findings.
The archaeologist in charge of playing the video freezes a pattern and displays it on the wall of the conference room.
This pattern, everyone else has already seen, and they are not surprised, Xiao Fan, who has always been calm, suddenly contracted his pupils.
Golden-winged Roc!
This is an image of a golden-winged roc bird.
Although it is only a portrait, it is full of majesty, and the breath of a king who reigns over the world is about to come out. In particular, the golden feathers added a lot of wealth to it.
The expert switched several different images, all of which were images of golden-winged Dapeng birds of different shapes. However, the wings of the Peng bird in two of the pictures are not golden, but silver, which is very different from the golden color of the golden-winged bird.
But everyone doesn't care about this detail.,Maybe it's just a difference in the style of painting.,There shouldn't be anything else.。
"Plateau Buddhism has many legends of the golden-winged Dapeng bird, and the most famous hero among them is said to be the reincarnation of the golden-winged Dapeng bird......"
The expert casually introduced.
Xiao Fan's gaze stayed on these images for a long time.
"Okay, tell me what's going on with that labyrinth?"
After a while, Xiao Fan said slowly. (To be continued......) R1292
