Lu Yao saw that Professor Zhu not only put down his figure for this archaeology, but also came forward many times to reconcile the contradictions between Lu Xing and Lu Yao, and even tried his best to catch up in front of so many people.

Professor Zhu looked at the vast night, as far as the eye could see, where there were still Lu Xing and Lu Xue, his heart was desperate, he fell to the ground, and he didn't get up for a long time, and the three graduate assistants ran over to help, and barely pulled him up from the ground.

"Professor Zhu, I'm sorry." Lu Yao walked over, bowed to Professor Zhu, and said apologetically.

Originally, this matter was not Lu Yao's fault at all, and Lu Yao didn't need to apologize to anyone, but when he saw Professor Zhu's state, he couldn't help but say sorry, this may be the meaning that I didn't kill Beren, but Beren died because of me.

"No fault with you, no wonder with you." Professor Zhu's face was like ashes, and he looked at Lu Yao with empty eyes and said.

"Professor Zhu, Teacher Xiao Lu, everyone is tired for a day, let's go into the house and eat something." Li Chengmin ran over, looked at Lu Yao, and then at Professor Zhu, and said.

"Hmm!" Lu Yao nodded, looked at Professor Zhu and said: "Professor Zhu, people are iron and steel, you are hungry if you don't eat a meal, you are so old, you have walked the mountain road for another day, go in and eat something, let's think about archaeology in the long run." ”

Professor Zhu didn't look at anyone, and took a step forward gently, but with this step, his legs were a little weak, and if it weren't for the three graduate assistants, it was very likely that he would fall again.

In this way, the three graduate assistants supported Professor Zhu, followed behind everyone, and walked towards Li Chengmin's house.

……

……

Li Chengmin doesn't want such a thing to happen, no one wants such a thing to happen, but since the matter has happened, no one can undo it, even if Professor Zhu is in front of the table, he is also looking like a six gods and no owner, even if Li Chengmin sandwiched a lot of food in the bowl in front of him, he didn't move his chopsticks.

"Teacher Xiao Lu, this?" Li Chengmin really had no choice, so he had to cast a look at Lu Yao for help.

Lu Yao also understands Li Chengmin's dilemma, Professor Zhu has the approval of the city and county for this archaeological activity, as the lowest village official, he has to give his full cooperation, but now he not only failed to help, but also saw that this archaeological activity was lost in the first stop Tianyu Village, and it was not easy to explain to the above.

"Professor Zhu, what are you looking for in this archaeological activity, can you reveal it, maybe I can help a little?" Lu Yao was actually quite curious, so he tried to ask.

Professor Zhu didn't speak, just glanced up at Lu Yao slightly.

"Professor Zhu, don't be careful, I don't mean anything else, just ask, I am also an archaeology enthusiast, I also know a lot of wealthy businessmen who like archaeological activities, I just want to ask, what is going on with archaeology this time, and see if there is anyone in my circle of friends who can help and is willing to sponsor." Lu Yao saw Professor Zhu's eyes and quickly explained.

Lu Yao didn't know any wealthy businessmen who liked archaeology, and he said this completely to help Professor Zhu, after all, he himself could be regarded as a wealthy businessman.

"Really?" Professor Zhu didn't react at first, but when he heard Lu Yao's words, a strange look suddenly appeared in his eyes, and he asked cautiously.

"Really, don't look at my young age, I know a lot of people!" Lu Yao suddenly said with a smile.

The change in Professor Zhu's expression may not be obvious to others, but Lu Yao really feels it, he knows what it represents, and he doesn't want to make the atmosphere too serious, otherwise Professor Zhu is probably reluctant to continue.

"Professor Zhu, I can guarantee Mr. Xiao Lu's words, you don't know, our Tianyu Village was bullied by black-hearted medicinal material buyers some time ago, it was Mr. Xiao Lu who contacted his friend to come forward and signed a medicinal material purchase agreement with us, and the price given to us by his friend was several times higher than those black-hearted traders, and it solved the problem of selling medicinal materials in our Tianyu Village and several surrounding villages at once." Li Chengmin was afraid that Professor Zhu would not believe it, so he immediately stood up and said.

Young people may sometimes speak with some ostentatious and exaggerated elements in it, Professor Zhu and Lu Yao are not familiar with each other, and they can't fully believe it, but Li Chengmin is an adult, and when he says so, Zhu believes it for seven points.

Professor Zhu saw Lu Yao, Li Chengmin and everyone present looking at him, sighed, and said slowly: "This matter is a long story, it was still forty years ago, I came to Lingui Province twice with my mentor, and participated in the excavation of two tombs of ancient famous generals, I remember that when I came to Lingui Province for the second time, I excavated the tomb of a general in the Yuan Dynasty, that is, in that excavation, I met a local archaeological expert, and I had like-minded interests with him, and formed a friendship to talk for two days and three nights. ”

"His depth of knowledge is rare in the world, whether it is the official history or the wild history, everything is refined, everything is understood, in these two days and three nights I learned a lot of things that I could not learn from books and mentors, and it was also at that time that my life had a big turning point, we had a very happy conversation, even after the excavation work was successfully completed, we still maintained a long correspondence, I think he is the greatest mentor in my life." Professor Zhu was deeply immersed in the fond memories of those years.

"Our correspondence continued consistently until his death, and I remember very well that he had written me a letter of tens of thousands of words just three days before his death, and it was at that time that I began to prepare for this archaeological activity. This preparation has been 30 years, and for this archaeological activity, I have consulted a large number of books, visited many archaeological experts across the country, and I have consulted many people. Professor Zhu said at the end, suddenly stopped and looked at Lu Yao.

"Professor Zhu, what did your old friend write in the letter to you at that time, and why did you ask for someone again?" Lu Yao asked puzzled.

Professor Zhu paused for a long time before continuing: "Back then, he wrote to me that the general of the Yuan Army, Timuge, came to Lingui Province at that time to recruit a mysterious tribe living in the depths of the 100,000 mountains of Lingui Province, this tribe is said to have a way to make people immortal, you also know, the ancient Huaguo was listed as the emperor, whether it is virtuous or faint, there is no one who does not want immortality, forever protect the country, the first emperor once sent Xu Fu to cross the ocean, in order to seek immortality, Tang Taizong in order to seek immortality, Sent people to ask for immortals again and again, the Yuan Dynasty's generation of Tianjiao Genghis Khan is naturally the same, when Genghis Khan heard that there is a mysterious tribe living in the territory of today's Lingui Province, they have a recipe for immortality, he sent envoys to visit many times, but never thought that every messenger sent is there to return, and then Genghis Khan was angry, sent his most trusted general Timug expedition here. ”

"Professor Zhu, what about later?" Everyone's curiosity was aroused by this story, and Su Anran and Tan Xin, the two most curious people, asked in unison.

"It is said that Timug really found the mysterious tribe and got this recipe for immortality, but as for what happened later, Timug and his army of 1,000 people disappeared into the 100,000 mountains, and there was no news, no matter what method Genghis Khan used, it was fruitless, and a generation of Tianjiao could only return to the embrace of immortality with regrets." Professor Zhu said slowly.

"Could it be that your old friend at that time, he knew some of the original reasons?" When Lu Yao heard this, he was also curious, and he always felt that perhaps Professor Zhu's letter to Professor Zhu said something very important.

Professor Zhu glanced at Lu Yao approvingly, and continued: "Yes, he told me that the tomb we excavated for the second time was the tomb of the Yuan Dynasty general Timuge, although there was nothing valuable in it at that time, but one thing he was sure of was that Timuge did get the recipe for immortality, but for some irresistible reasons, Timuge and his thousand-man army commander were buried here and disappeared together with that secret." ”

“……”

After Professor Zhu's explanation for more than two hours, everyone learned that it turned out that in the tomb of Timug at that time, his old friend had found some clues, and after the archaeological work was over, he wrote these things in a detailed report and handed them over to his superiors, who hoped that the superior leaders could pay attention to their major discoveries and allocate a large amount of funds to restart this activity.

But it's a pity that the information provided by Professor Zhu's New Year's Friend is too sketchy, and these things are not recorded in the history books at all, and occasionally people mention it, all of which are in some little-known wild history books, and the superior leaders quickly rejected his request, and even criticized him for this, saying that he was a lie, a ghost and a god.

Without the support of the government, he had to study alone, but the 100,000 mountains, the vast forests, where to find, there was no clue, he persisted for a long time, and his wish could not be fulfilled, so he had to tell Professor Zhu all this when he was dying, hoping that he could continue his work.

Professor Zhu struggled with Xu Yi for that ten thousand words, and the things that his year-old friend said were indeed too unbelievable, too close to the theory of ghosts and gods, but he knew the other party too well, and knew that he was definitely not a person who had nothing to do and opened his mouth, and finally Professor Zhu agreed.

Since then, Professor Zhu began to consult classics everywhere, asking people for advice and learning, whether it was a well-known government archaeological expert or those folk inheritance elders, he visited them one by one, and as more and more information gathered into his hands, he also began to believe the words of the old friend.

With belief, he began to plan, but as his old friend said, this matter sounded too ethereal, whether it was the country or the individual, no one wanted to believe it, let alone sponsor this event, more than 30 years later, until he recently found the Yanjing Lu family, they readily agreed.
