Lin Xia and Professor Wen were shocked, and Professor Wen said tremblingly: "I thought that the events of more than 2,000 years ago had long been sealed in history, and there were really people who knew about it. ”

Lin Xia packed up the photos and said: "Since everyone is talking about this, then let's open the skylight and say something, our company is very interested in this project now, and this matter is also my father's wish in this life, we hope that the two of us will take us to discover the belt This place to see, as for the honorarium, 100 oceans per person." ”

On Tuesday, Mao was still in an unhappy mood, and pouted and said: "100 oceans, what about sending Hanako?" ”

Lin Xia smiled and said: "An officer in the national army is only a dozen yuan a month, is there a more fair price than this?" And we absolutely guarantee the safety of both of them. ”

I said, "Do you know what to expect, how do you keep us safe?" ”

Lin Xia said: "Our company has participated in many businesses such as the excavation of a large number of ancient tombs in Egypt and Southeast Asia, and has rich experience in this area. So don't worry. ”

I shook my head and said, "Forgive me for being unheard, but this is probably unlike all the expeditions you've ever experienced, and the most regrettable thing is that the buildings inside the cave have been destroyed. ”

"Ruined?!" Lin Xia and Professor Wen exclaimed at the same time

I nodded, "There is nothing in that cave except a skeleton, a sacrificial platform, a prototype building, and a chain bridge. ”

Professor Wen nodded slowly, and said to Lin Xia, "What this gentleman said is actually similar to what I said in the telegram between me and your father that day. I believe that. It took a total of more than 30 years to gather the five gas gathering platforms of gold, wood, water, fire and earth, and the one that was finally selected was this one that represents the water attributes. At this time, it was already the period of Emperor Wen of the Western Han Dynasty, and what really stopped things was the untimely death of Ji, the son of Ziying. And Ji lived in a cave all the year round, and it seemed that there was something wrong with that aspect, and he died without children, and the whole huge project came to an abrupt end. Therefore, the water attribute gas gathering table is actually just an empty shelf, and it is not really finished. ”

From Professor Wen's speech, I seemed to have seen the old Ge Zhang, sitting alone in the stone cave in front of the deep sacrificial platform, looking at the stone platform that was still under construction in despair. As the stone door slowly closed, the last bit of light went out, Ge Zhang half-knelt on the ground, holding the bronze magic weapon in his hand, closed his eyes, and goodbye was also an unwilling skeleton two thousand years later.

Lin Xia sat down a little helplessly, didn't speak for a long time, the atmosphere was a little cold, I took a sip of tea and said, "That's nothing, we'll go back first." ”

Professor Wen looked at Lin Xia, who was silent beside him, and then looked at us and said, "I've always had a question, I don't know if I can break your rules by saying it. ”

I thought to myself, "This old man really thinks of us as professional rats." ”

He said in a deep voice: "It's nothing, you ask." ”

Professor Wen said: "More than 40 years ago, when I was still studying for a Ph.D. at the Center for East Asian Studies at the University of Pittsburgh, I also accidentally saw such a small specious record about Ge Zhang from an ancient Han Dynasty book, but why he brought people into the Wuling Mountains did not record in detail, and about the secret incident of Ge Zhang and Yu Jian's Qi Gathering Platform, the old man also basically figured out the ins and outs of this Miss Lin's father in recent years, I don't know how the two of them knew so much? ”

So I started with my uncle's exploration notes, and then how I chose to rob the tomb, how to enter the Seven Star Mountain, and all the strange things I encountered were told to everyone. Hearing this, Professor Wen couldn't help but shake his head.

After talking about the experience, Professor Wen pondered and said: "It is really extraordinary, even if only a small half of the gas gathering platform is built, there can be such a huge amount of work, the wall is carved through the mountain, the plank road is built in the cave, there are such dangerous piranhas in the water, and there are such vicious bats in the cave wall. If these gas gathering platforms and spiritual mountains are found, what a grand project it is, and it will shock the world. ”

Lin Xia thought for a moment and said: "What you have encountered is likely to be a flying monkey, an animal that attacks all kinds of livestock and sucks their blood, it is one of the largest bat species in the world, but this creature is mostly found in the East Indies and some islands in the Philippines, we once saw it in a cave in the rainforest when we went to salvage a shipwreck. Unexpectedly, there are flying monkeys in this kind of mountainous area, which is really incredible. ”

Professor Wen sighed: "The clues that I finally found are all broken, I really don't know if I will be able to see such a grand project in my lifetime." ”

Lin Xia was also a little discouraged and wrapped his hair, and after a while, Lin Xia raised his head and said, "It's a pity that my father didn't really learn the "Di Jun Kanyu Secret" back then, otherwise there would still be a chance." ”

I was shocked and asked, "How do you know about "The Secret of the Emperor's Confession?"

Lin Xia looked at me suspiciously, and said, "How do you know about this book?" ”

I said: "It's a long story, there is one thing I may have missed just now, which is this "Di Jun Kan Yu Jue". So he told his story again.

When Lin Xia suddenly heard the words "Tian Fengzong" from my master, he suddenly stood up from his chair and said in a trembling voice: "You... Are you saying your master's name is Tian Fengzong? ”

I nodded and looked at Lin Xia strangely, Lin Xia looked at me with an incredulous expression, and then crossed the left and right palms together, the big finger of the left hand was bent inside, and the remaining nine fingers were exposed, and then looked at me.

Professor Wen and Tuesday Mao looked at Lin Xia for some reason, but I was shocked that this trick turned out to be the lotus trick of our Kaba faction. I hooked my right index finger and grabbed the middle finger of my left hand with my right hand and made a white tiger mark.

Lin Xia: "Ah! He said, "Is he still alive?" ”

I said strangely, "Who?" ”

Lin Xia said: "The fifty-second generation descendant of Kaba Paitima Tian Fengzong. ”

"What?" This time it was my turn to be surprised.

I suddenly remembered what Master had said before, and said, "If that's the case, could it be that the girl's father went to the South Seas to go out in the past?" ”

Lin Xia sighed and said, "My father is Lin Shiyuan, Tian Fengzong's apprentice. ”

At the same time, I also knew why a girl from the United States would still know this "The Secret of the Emperor".

Lin Xia asked, "I don't know what your relationship is with my father's master?" ”

I then informed Lin Xia of the situation of me and Master. And informed that the master had passed away this year, Lin Xia sighed and said: "This time I went back to the mainland, my father has been asking me to go around to find out the whereabouts of the master, but I don't want to hear the bad news from you." ”

I said, "Master has been lamenting that although your father had a master-apprentice relationship with him, he has never been able to truly learn the art of Tima. ”

Lin Xia said: "After all, it is a troubled time, and Tima really has no way out, so he has to go to Nanyang to make a living, and in the end he only gets a master-apprentice status, and he doesn't know much about Tima." ”

He smiled and said, "After talking for a long time, I didn't know that my father had another junior brother, but it was really interesting." ”

I asked curiously, "Then why didn't your father come himself, but let you come?" ”

Lin Xia sighed: "My father worked in the Nanyang rubber forest, and then he built a rubber forest by himself, and slowly his career became bigger and bigger, and finally immigrated to the United States, and opened a company specializing in this kind of archaeological treasure exploration. However, while participating in the excavation of the pyramids in Egypt, he unfortunately fell from a high platform and lost both legs, and now he is in the last years of life and cannot return to his hometown. ”

Professor Wen smiled: "I didn't expect Miss Lin to have such an experience when she returned to China for the first time, it seems that there is still something to say!" ”

Lin Xia smiled: "It's really amazing. ”

Professor Wen said to me: "Mr. Chen, maybe you don't know, these Qi Gathering Platforms and the Spiritual Mountain that are offered are not completely unknown in history, but the mystery lies in the feng shui techniques used by Ge Zhang and Yu Many techniques are different from the feng shui of Middle-earth, and a large number of Ba people's "Di Jun Kanyu Jue" are used. And "Di Jun Kan Yu Jue" is a copy, in the hands of the Tujia Tima from generation to generation, and later it is rumored that Yu destroyed all the feng shui secrets in it, leaving only a very small dozen pages handed down, and this book is recorded in the most mysterious text of the Tujia family, so there is no record of this feng shui book in later generations, I didn't expect you to get this book by chance and learn the content of it. It's really gratifying! ”
