Back in the master bedroom on the second floor, Wen Qi put on a mask and changed into a professional suit, not that he is a big man who loves beauty, anyone who stays in the jungle for 13 months will have rough skin, in order not to be noticed by his mother, he must do enough acting homework.

Wen Qi went to the bedside table and took out another mobile phone to turn it on, showing that there were 32 missed calls with the notes of Professor Liu, and the callback calls were very connected.

"Hey, Xiaoqi?" The voice of an elderly man came from the phone.

"Professor, I'm back from a business trip, do you have any clues?" Wen Qi was calm and expectant.

"You kid is really anxious to kill me, the phone has been turned off when I call you, the watch you handed over to me has been stolen, we called the police to check all the school's surveillance, obviously put it in the safe...... This ......" the voice on the phone looked anxious.

Glancing at the pocket watch lying still on the bed, Wen Qi helplessly comforted: "Professor, don't worry, I'll come over right now, it's okay if I lose the watch, the point is that there are any clues to that totem?" ”

"What do you mean to lose it, you little guy knows the magic of that watch, its material does not exist in any kind of metal on the earth, we used all the instruments and could not disassemble it, and even now we can't analyze its approximate year, if ......."

"Alright, Professor Liu, let's talk about it when I get there." Wen Qi didn't wait for the other party to continue chattering, and hung up the phone directly.

Putting the phone in his trouser pocket, Wen Qi opened a box of cigarettes in its original packaging, lit one, and in the smoke, his slightly squinted eyes became wandering.

Liu Zhonghong, one of the leaders in the field of contemporary history and literature, was rehired by Qianyu University in S City as an honorary professor of the Department of Archaeology after his retirement, and he has studied the history of various civilizations in ancient China and abroad. Half a year ago, Wen Qi entrusted a lot of relationships in order to cling to this old scholar. On his own, his sources of information are really limited.

Many people may ask why the Wen family has not turned to the help of the state for generations, which will be mentioned later.

Snuff out the cigarette, Wen Qi habitually glanced at the time, at 14:21 in the afternoon, got up and came to the underground parking garage, chose a Lincoln new energy SUV parked in the corner, and drove to the gate of Qianyu University.

Getting out of the car and hurriedly walking to the experimental building, many young students wearing school uniforms pointed at him along the way, and couldn't help but remind him of the good times when he was in school.

Liu Zhonghong, who was full of white hair, wore a lens-type magnifying glass, leaned down on the desk, and turned his head from time to time to flip over the thick pile of materials on the side.

There was a knock on the door, and Liu Zhonghong didn't raise his head and said, "Enter~"

Wen Qi pushed the door in, and in the middle of the wide office was a workbench with several desks combined, on which layers of materials and documents were piled up, and all around the room were a few framed old photographs, and the smell of old books and ink penetrated into his nostrils. Although it is not the first time for Wen Qi to come, he will still be touched in his heart.

The weather is getting hot and humid, and there are hardly any electrical appliances in the whole office except for a vertical fan and water dispenser. It's not that the school picks, but the older generation is used to it.

This is a wise man who has dedicated his life to historical literature, and he deserves to be respected and respected by all.

"Professor, I'm here." Wen Qi came to him softly, looking at the color photo on his countertop, which was a high-definition enlarged view of a gold pocket watch.

"Oh, you kid made me miserable this time." Liu Zhonghong was wearing a striped shirt, gray trousers, and the old Beijing cloth shoes on his feet were slightly white. I saw him take off his glasses, take out a passbook wrapped in red cloth from the drawer, hand it to Wen Qi and said: "If I hadn't forced that watch to stay, it wouldn't have been lost, this is all the savings that my wife and I have saved over the years, and the child is also older, I usually don't need any money, there are 300,000 in it, I know these are definitely not enough, but you take it first, and then I am thinking of a way." ”

"Professor Liu, what are you doing here? I'm embarrassed enough to ask you for help, I really don't care if I lose my watch. Wen Qi shook his hand and retreated, extremely conflicted in his heart, he didn't want to deceive this simple old professor, but the secret of the pocket watch was too shocking, once it was made public, it might not only bring turmoil to his family.

It is likely to implicate the whole world......

"Professor, if you don't think this will work, what about the money, you keep it for yourself, but I have a small request, I want you to keep this pocket watch secret for me, if it doesn't work again, then I'll leave now."

"Hey~ You, aren't you going to make me feel guilty for the rest of my life."

"Guilty what, that watch was originally a gadget that my grandfather picked up when he was young, if it wasn't for the cleaning at home, I just turned it out and was curious, so I asked a friend to introduce you to this palm."

"You kid stuff me......"

"Hey~~ My old expert, old professor, you, just relax, wait for the next time I go back to the old house, find a way to sweep and see, maybe I can make an identical piece, and you also know that I am not short of money, just if you owe me a personal favor, there will be more trouble for you in the future." Wen Qi dragged Liu Zhonghong back, sat back on the chair, and forced him to stuff the passbook back into the drawer. Directly changed the topic and said: "Professor, do you have any clues about the totem?" ”

"Hey~ Okay, come to me at any time if you have anything in the future, and show you something first." Liu Zhonghong frowned, took out his mobile phone from the pocket of his shirt shirt, clicked on a web page, entered the account password, and then jumped out of an interface similar to a post bar. While flipping through the introduction: "This is a Sino-foreign joint historical and archaeological forum, and someone replied to my post last week, look, that's it." ”

The post is very simple, just two lines of Chinese and English comparison, with a totem photo of a pocket watch attached below, pulled to the bottom, is a picture of someone abroad replying, with a large paragraph of tadpole text.

Liu Zhonghong seemed to know that Wen Qi couldn't understand it, and while enlarging the picture, he translated: "This is Arabic, to the effect that they took a picture of the same totem on the mural inside a pyramid 14 years ago, and the tomb is buried with the pharaoh of the 18th Dynasty during the New Kingdom of ancient Egypt, his name is Tutankhamun, I heard that he died of a family genetic disease, which represents the peak of Egyptian archaeological work at that time, so he became one of the most famous pharaohs." ”

"Professor, but what is the direct connection between this and the totem on the table?" After listening to a lot, Wen Qi didn't know anything except that this totem also appeared in the pyramids of ancient Egypt.

Liu Zhonghong smiled and took out a pen and wrote two years on the table, "You see, Tutankhamun was born and died in 1341 BC ~ 1323, and the appearance of the first pocket clock (pocket watch) in history should be around 1462, the popularization time is not to mention, according to the transportation and interconnection at that time, the probability of totem replication is very small, that is to say, your watch, more than 2700 years earlier than the known history, but if it is more than that, do you know what this represents?" It's very likely that it is a new faulty civilization that has never been discovered. ”

Wen Qi: ...... Still with a sullen face, he wondered: "Professor, don't care about any fault civilization first, so what does this pattern represent?" ”

Hmm~~~ Liu Zhonghong pondered and replied: "At present, some people speculate that it is reincarnation, and some people speculate that it represents another world, but it is just speculation. ”

"Reincarnation, another world?" Wen Qi's pupils contracted violently, could it be that someone in BC began to travel through another world? "Professor, can you tell me more about that picture?" ”

"This pharaoh's original name was Tutankhamun, which means the image of the god Atun, and later changed his name to Tutankhamun, indicating that his belief changed from worshipping the god Atun to the god Amun, and died violently at the age of 19, in fact, there are many mysteries on his body that have not been solved so far, through the 'virtual dissection' of modern science and technology, the scientific community speculates that he \ she may be hermaphroditic, and there are no outstanding achievements in the history of ancient Egypt, how can you kid care about the totem for a while, and then care about this pharaoh?"

"Hee-hee, isn't it like I'm learning more about history from you?" Wen Qi said with a hippie smile.

Liu Zhonghong rarely laughed and said: "Don't compliment me here, why don't you usually see you running to me, I really want to learn history, I will give lectures in the big classroom every week, Thursday and two afternoons, and remember to come over the day after tomorrow to audit." ”

"Ah~~~ that...... By the way, Professor Liu, what kind of god is Amun? Wen Qi scratched his scalp and quickly opened the topic.

"Don't, I can see that your kid is not sincere, forget it, don't embarrass you." Liu Zhonghong paused for a moment and continued: "Amun means 'hidden one' in ancient Egyptian, one of the eight gods, and his wife Mutt and son Khons are called the three pillared gods, and when Egypt's 'Thebes' became the capital, he became the main god of the New Kingdom period and the new sun god......"

……

This chatting time unconsciously came to the evening, if it weren't for Wen Qi suddenly remembering that he promised his mother to go home for dinner today, they wouldn't know what time they would talk.

Wen Qi said guiltily before leaving: "Professor Liu, I'm really sorry, I dragged you so late, I promised my mother to go home for dinner today, you see, I'll take you to have a light meal together." ”

"Hahaha, you have your mother waiting at home, and I also have a wife waiting, no need, next time." Liu Zhonghong got on his bike and waved to Wen Qi.

Looking at the back of Liu Zhonghong riding away, Wen Qi smiled bitterly, drove the car back to the villa, and took a taxi to go home again.
