Chapter 24: Meteorites
Use the teacher's pass to come to the library
Anxia came to the column of ancient documents.
The books on the shelves were disorganized and disorganized, and she originally wanted to see if she could find some clues from them, so she flipped through several documents one after another, none of which were written in the post-Western Han Dynasty.
There are some that have been mentioned slightly, but there is too little information and it is basically useless.
"These books look a little old."
She pulled out a copy casually, the cover was old, the edge of the book was torn, and the tape was covered over and over again, and it had been placed here for an unknown number of years.
"It seems that if you want to find something, you won't be able to find it for a while."
The Siamese cat meowed, and An Xia squatted down to hug him, "There is no other way, but to look here first to see if there are any other clues, time waits for no one, I'll go read the book first, and you can just wander around the school." ”
Yuchen meowed a few times, which counted as a response.
The library was deserted, and Anxia was quite at ease alone.
Finding information is a drain and needs to be treated with care.
For the rest of the day, she spent almost every day in the library.
In addition to eating, I was reading books all day, and what I wanted to find was a little bit of history about the end of the Western Han Dynasty.
But even though I go out early and return late every day, I still haven't found any useful clues.
She moved her stiff neck and squinted at the afterglow of the sunset, which was already the third day.
She wanted to get up, and as soon as she moved, she felt a soreness, and then remembered that she had been in this position for an hour.
Seeing that the closing time was approaching, she sighed, today was another fruitless day.
"Meow~."
Yuchen held a loaf of bread in his paw and placed it on the book in front of Anxia's eyes.
An Xia suddenly felt that the fatigue of the day was healed in an instant.
She tugged at her cute little fat face, "Thank you." ”
It wasn't until Yu Chen glared at her angrily that she laughed twice.
Yu Chen turned around and wanted to jump down, but one foot was unsteady, and the tall books on the table all fell down with a thud.
An Xia bent down to pick up the book and stumbled upon a copy of "Historical Books".
She flipped through it in confusion, "Have I read this book?" When did it appear here? ”
Flipping through a page, it is actually the life of Emperor Zhou, which has never been recorded in history, as carefully as a biography.
Taking advantage of the fact that there was still half an hour left before the museum was closed, she glanced at the catalog and found that the tomb of Emperor Zhou was really recorded.
The more you look, the brighter your eyes become.
"I found it!"
Yuchen's cat eyes are full of question marks.
"This is the history of the post-Western Han Dynasty, and even the feng shui location of the ancient tomb is clearly written, and the burial goods inside are listed one by one, you first see if the things written in the book are the same as the things you have seen."
Yu Chen's eyes quickly swept over the pages, licked his paws, and nodded.
Anxia breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that her whole body was relaxed.
"Now that I'm sure, I'll download the electronic version of the book first, and then study it when I get back."
Books here are not to be taken away, only electronic documents can be taken from under the reading room.
The reason for the stipulations of the president of NTU is that these books are several decades older than the old president, and they are all precious and out-of-print books.
"It's finally not in vain the work of the past few days."
Nine o'clock in the evening.
After the meal, Anxia sat on the sofa in pajamas and with her head tied with balls.
Yuchen has already become a human being, making himself coffee.
Glancing back, Anxia was looking at the computer cross-legged, very focused.
She's looking at today's download.
Yu Chen handed over a cup, she thought it was coffee, and took a sip without even looking at it.
When it got to the mouth, I knew it was milk.
Look at Yu Chen's cup and still have coffee in it.
"Why mine is milk, yours is coffee."
"Replenish nutrition." Yu Chen said lightly.
After all, it's too much brain-consuming to look things up.
Anxia tilted her head, what do you mean?
"Did you find anything?"
Yuchen drew her attention back to the computer.
"Oh, here, and here, you will be surprised when you see it, it is said that when Emperor Zhou reigned for thirty-five years, he once found a strange stone, the size of a stone mill, when the human body touches it, it will emit unbearable burning, the surface is slippery, and it will secrete some mucus, which does not cause much harm to people."
"And the timing of the appearance coincided with the birth of Emperor Zhou's eleventh son, that is, the later Emperor Yan, so it was regarded as a sign of good fortune, before the death of Emperor Zhou, his minister Jingfang liked to study the metaphysics of the Book of Changes, and knew a lot about Feng Shui, asserting that this strange stone can ward off evil spirits in the house, so Emperor Zhou ordered Jingfang to find a piece of feng shui treasure, bury the strange stone here, and leave a will, after his death to bury him in this tomb."
"According to the analysis of modern authors and the comparison of many materials, it is speculated that the strange rock at that time was a meteorite."
She originally came to see it as a wild history story, but the more she looked at it, the more surprised she became.
"You can't guess who wrote this book."
Yu Chen, "Who?" ”
"Fang Jingxuan, a famous scientist, died at the age of 90, and in October last year, the great scientist who discovered the composition of meteorites unfortunately died of brain cancer."
Meteorites, which were legendary in ancient times, seemed like a joke to Anxia, but what if the joke was written by a well-known person in the field? Can she still say it's a joke?
"So most of what is said in this book is true." She said, "I checked on the Internet just now, and in 18 years, it has been confirmed that there is indeed this meteorite on the earth, so ...... When you become a cat, it is very likely that the composition of the meteorite changes the cellular structure of your body, and this kind of mutation will occur? ”
This was surmised by Ansha.
Yu Chen slid the mouse, it was a matter of becoming a person, it could not be ignored, and he looked very carefully, "I am indeed because I am in the tomb of Emperor Zhou, this strange change will occur, but there is no proof that I am because of a meteorite, let's call him a meteorite for the time being, and it has become like this." ”
"The clues in the book are broken only here, and the subsequent accounts are vague, and we can't even confirm it even if we want to."
An Xia nodded, and what Yu Chen said was a very critical point.
"So what else can we do?"
Yu Chen's fingers moved, and a glimmer of light slipped under his eyes, "You just said that the author of "Shijian" is Fang Jingxuan?" ”
"It is said that it was because he was interested in meteorites that he went to great lengths to study the history of the Zhou Dynasty, but unfortunately he still did not gain anything after more than ten years of research, but he was able to write this book, which is a category of wild history and has not been taken seriously by most people."
"I remember your teacher, who had a bit of an intersection with this scientist."
An Xia was also influenced by her teacher, so she admired this old gentleman so much in and out of the conversation.
“…… Yes, you don't just focus on cultural relics, you also care about academics? ”
Is this person really omnipotent, he actually knows everything.
Even she occasionally heard the teacher mention it, and only then did she know that the two were New Year's friends.
Yu Chen saw her staring eyes, her lovely cheeks slightly bulging, and couldn't help but reach out and scratch her nose, "Professor Yan is a historian, as an archaeologist, of course I have heard of his famous name. ”
An Xia touched her nose, the touch left by the man was still there, and she always felt itchy.
"If I can see the information about the meteorite left by Fang Jingxuan before his death, maybe the mystery on my body will be solved."
An Xia was still a little dizzy because of Yu Chen's actions just now, so she felt an expectant gaze looking at her.
After a long while, she pointed to herself, "You don't want me to trouble the teacher again, do you?" ”
Yu Chen smiled appreciatively, although this woman is nervous in some aspects, she is really one step at the right time.
"But ......"
She always felt that it was not good to trouble the teacher again and again.
"It's okay, if you don't think it's convenient, just let my assistant check it, but I don't know how long it will take...... Yu Chen said lightly, as if he didn't care at all.
Anxia's heart softened.
It's taken so long, and I can know the truth at a glance, but if I let the assistant intervene, I don't know how long it will take.
She gritted her teeth, anyway, once is trouble, twice is also trouble, it's a big deal to find an opportunity in the future, and then repay the teacher well.
"I'll go tomorrow."
Yu Chen smiled gently, "Okay." ”
Early morning.
The daffodils are in full bloom, and when the wind blows, they shake their heads and tails.
Professor Yan watered the flower pot a little, this watering the flowers, it is also particular, if there are more, the flowers will also wither, and if there are less, the flowers will not live long.
He loves these flowers and plants, and treats them with great care.
Turning his head and seeing his little apprentice appear in front of him with a look of embarrassment, he couldn't help laughing, "Yo, this place has never been so vibrant, and you can actually visit twice in a week." ”
An Xia coughed with her hands, knowing that Professor Yan was making fun of herself, she couldn't help but bring a little coquettish tone when she spoke, "Teacher...... I'm bothering you again. ”
"This is the study where Mr. Fang often stayed before his death, and the research materials on meteorites are all here."
Professor Yan took An Xia to a room that had been locked for a long time, pushed the door open, and as soon as the dust dispersed, Su Xia's nose itched.
"Mr. Fang is a great man, but it's a pity that these materials are all ashes." He sighed, "When you find the information, don't forget to bring the door lock." ”
"Thank you, teacher."
Professor Yan still has something to do, leaving An Xia here alone.
It is said that it is a study room, but in fact it is more like a research room, where there are not only four rows of cabinets of materials, but also experimental equipment.
Yuchen turned into a human and put on his clothes, "I'll look for it with you." ”
An Xia turned her head calmly, the small bag she was carrying with her now contained not only her own things, but also Yuchen's clothes, which she had long been used to.
Yu Chen touched his finger and left a fingerprint.
He clapped his hands, picked up a stack of papers, and gently dusted it off.
On the first page, there is a chic cursive signature at the bottom left.
