Xu Ming looked angry and said, "So, are you pretending to be stupid?" Or are you fooling everyone? The shape of this relic is strange, what is so special? Each cultural relic reflects the social form, culture, science and technology, economy and people's thoughts of that period, China up and down for 5,000 years, countless cultural relics have unique characteristics, many cultural relics look weird, this is caused by the times, isn't this very normal? If you go to museums all over the country, where are there no such hideous faces, similar to the shape of gods and monsters, or with such gods and ghosts? Our country has a long history of culture, rich in religion, and myths and legends are too numerous to mention. There are more scary statues enshrined in folk temples, isn't there a ghost everywhere? You are a researcher at the Institute of Archaeology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and what you have seen and heard should be beyond our reach, how can you say such ignorant and amateurish words?! ”

He continued with a mocking tone: "Researcher Qiu, I think it is because you have not worked for a long time and because you are timid that you can make such a ridiculous mistake. Your academic level is not average, but low! I heard that when you gathered in the synagogue, you hid in fear at a critical moment, and you can't be blamed for it, not everyone can bravely face the gunmen. However, such a statue makes you so scared and suspicious, you still need to exercise more, or don't participate in such an expedition. ”

Xiao Gang was originally very disappointed and a little annoyed by the reason Qiu Tian said, but seeing that Xu Ming said something excessive, he hurriedly said, "Okay, Xiao Xu, don't say more." Researcher Qiu has his own opinions, his reasons, and we should respect them. Everyone is a team, and everyone can get along slowly. ”

Xu Ming saw that Xiao had just come forward to stop him, so he waited for this moment, turned around and said, "Teacher Xiao, you are right, I am a little extreme. I'm sorry, I was too impulsive, Researcher Qiu, what I said just now was very excessive, I hope you don't take it to heart, I apologize to you. ”

Qiu Tian was not angry, and said with a smile: "Expert Xu, you are too polite, I really don't have any level, you are right to criticize, I am really timid." ”

Zhou De suddenly said to the world: "What's your name?" Where did it come from? ”

Qiu Tian was stunned for a moment, and replied very politely: "My name is Qiu Tian, I am a researcher at the Institute of Archaeology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. My level is low. ”

Zhou De nodded and said: "It is worthy of being a staff member of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, with keen senses and such modesty, although he is not famous, he has much more knowledge than these experts in the house." He went on to say: "These so-called experts, whether they are old or young, are very famous, they think they are knowledgeable and talented, and they have seen too many cultural relics, but none of them do practical things, they are all in pursuit of fame and fortune, and they have long lost the ability to observe every cultural relic." Based on their judgment of this golden eagle, when they enter the ancient ruins, they will definitely die! ”

When everyone heard this, could there be any clues on this golden eagle? Or what is the special meaning of this golden eagle?

Zhou De said with some disdain: "Researcher Qiu, just rush to you, today I want to tell these experts about the true meaning of this golden eagle!" ”

Xiao Gang said sincerely: "If Master Zhou is willing to teach, it would be great." ”

Zhou De said: "This carving takes gold as the body and the child as the shape, which happens to take the meaning of 'golden boy'. ”

After hearing this, everyone was secretly surprised: this boy golden eagle is indeed a 'golden boy'! When everyone saw that these cultural relics were made of gold, they thought that the owner of the golden eagle used gold to create these cultural relics in order to be luxurious and show off his treasures. At this point, they ignore the implicit hint of 'gold'.

Xiao Gang is a diligent scholar, and when he heard Zhou De's words reveal the secret of this cultural relic, his curiosity suddenly rose, and he wanted to continue researching. Gao Qin and Xu Ming were also shocked, and they both regretted that they were careless and neglected such details. Even Nanyang knew that he had underestimated Zhou De, a strange old man.

Gao Qin, this girl is very arrogant, she knows that she is still too young and not experienced enough to make such a mistake, she bit her lip and warned herself that she must be careful in the future. She also remembered the lesson that the old man had taught her.

Xiao Gang has fallen into the state of mind of academic research at this moment, he has forgotten his identity, and said: "This 'Golden Boy and Jade Girl' is a character in ancient myths and legends in our country, and has always shown people a positive image of innocence, innocence and kindness. With a sinister aura? What does this statue represent? ”

Zhou De said lightly: "Although this character borrowed the body of a golden boy, he is not a golden boy, but it is the opposite. ”

Xiao Gang asked, "What's that?" ”

Xiao Gang said: "It is the legendary 'demon boy'!" ”

Everyone was surprised: What is this demon boy?!

Zhou De said: "The so-called demon boy, I also learned from the mouth of an old Jianghu more than 30 years ago, and the records in the literature have long been lost. This is a mythical figure in an ancient sect, people often call it 'Soul Hooking Boy', legend has it that its function is to collect people's souls, gather yin energy, if ordinary people meet the demon boy, they will die. ”

Xiao Gang and the others were secretly surprised when they heard what Zhou De said. They have never heard of this folk legend, although the words of virtue have a strong feudal superstitious thoughts, but looking at the appearance of this old man, what he said is not false.

Xu Ming said: "Master Zhou, even if this is a mythical statue, it can't say that this story is true, let alone how dangerous it is. What is the danger of an artist creating a work of art through imagination, which may represent a superstitious and legendary character, but it only has artistic and academic value? Aside from the fact that it may be hiding some deadly mechanism, can it now become a so-called demon boy eating us? Although there are many myths and legends, they are all made up and do not exist in the first place. We are scientists, we should rely on science and believe in science. ”

“…… Science ......" Zhou De looked ahead blankly, as if immersed in memories, he seemed to be talking to himself, and said with a sad wry smile: "...... Can science really save lives......

At this time, Gao Qin said, "Master Zhou, how do you know that there is danger in this ancient ruin?" ”

Zhou De picked up the gold medal on the table and said, "Do you know what the words are engraved on it?" ”
