After Qi Yuancheng confirmed his trip to Northeast Province, he ran to Hua Banxue's house after class and had nothing to do. On the one hand, he asked Hua Banxue for information about the source field force, and on the other hand, he asked Professor Hua to discuss the precautions for this operation.

On this day, Qi Yuancheng was discussing with Hua Banxue how to use less spiritual power to manipulate the source field force Gu Mist, when Professor Hua walked in from outside. When the two saw him coming back, they hurriedly got up to say hello. Professor Hua motioned for the two to continue, and entered the study by himself.

Qi Yuancheng said to Hua Banxue: "Senior sister, I have always had a question I want to ask the professor, but I am afraid that he will be unhappy. ”

Hua Banxue said: "You are his tall foot, the student asks the teacher, what is the teacher unhappy about?" ”

Qi Yuancheng scratched his head and said, "I haven't thought clearly, why did the professor arrange for me to go to Northeast Province?" ”

Hua Banxue couldn't answer for a while. In fact, she also felt that Qi Yuancheng, Wang Zhifei, Hua Banxue, and Xiaoshi should combine their strength to explore, so that they could have a great safety guarantee. And his father actually split the four of them into three teams, and even let himself take a small child to Xikang. She thought for a moment before saying, "To be honest, I don't quite understand Dad's thoughts either. You can just ask him later, so that you don't have to guess yourself. ”

Qi Yuancheng said with some embarrassment: "I'm just afraid that the professor will accuse him for not thinking, so I will ask him everything." ”

Hua Banxue said: "Is my dad so strict? If you don't dare to ask, I'll be with you. With that, she pulled Qi Yuancheng up and went straight to knock on the door of Professor Hua's study.

Professor Hua listened to the intention of the two, pondered for a while, and asked Qi Yuancheng: "Yuancheng, you have all experienced the adventure of Shiyin Village. I would like to ask you, what are the characteristics of the place where the letter stone was found this time? ”

Qi Yuancheng thought for a while and said, "This Shiyin Village is a very primitive and isolated mountain village. ”

Professor Hua asked again, "What are the other characteristics?" ”

Hua Banxue said tentatively: "The people in the village are very simple? Very little contact with outsiders? ”

Professor Hua nodded and said, "You are all right. Moreover, the geographical location of Shiyin Village is one of the largest primeval forests in China, which is also the basis for my preliminary selection of the site. ”

Only then did Qi Yuancheng and Hua Banxue understand Professor Hua's intentions, and before there were obvious clues, they chose an area as similar as possible to Shiyin Village to explore.

Professor Hua added: "However, my speculation is not much basis. You can only try it hard for you to run. If you don't get anything, you have to change your strategy. ”

Qi Yuancheng said: "It doesn't matter professor, this is also an academic investigation in itself, even if you don't find the letter stone, you can count it as completing your coursework." ”

Professor Hua nodded approvingly.

Seeing that the time was not early, Qi Yuancheng said goodbye to Hua Banxue and Professor Hua: "Professor, I will prepare again in the next few days before leaving, and there are still some supplies to be prepared today, so I will go back first." ”

Qi Yuancheng only embarked on a flight north two weeks after Wang Zhifei's departure. At parting, Hua Banxue and Professor Hua both came to the airport.

Hua Banxue asked Qi Yuancheng with concern about the big bag on his back: "Yuancheng, have you brought all the food and use?" Here are some of the foods I prepared for you. As he spoke, he handed over the two bulging bags to Qi Yuancheng.

Qi Yuancheng had a bitter face. He couldn't refuse, so he had to reluctantly change the topic and say to Professor Hua: "Professor, do you need to pay attention to anything when I go this time?" ”

Professor Hua looked at him and said with a smile: "It seems that I don't have to worry about your food and accommodation." ”

Qi Yuancheng looked helpless, and said with a wry smile: "Professor, don't make fun of me." ”

Professor Hua said, "Okay. Let's get down to business. He said with a straight face: "Yuancheng, I have a hunch that your trip to Northeast Province this time will definitely have a very important harvest." The deep mountains and old forests of Northeast Province are infested with wild animals, especially in the high latitudes. Beware of big beasts like bears and tigers. Try not to get into conflict with them. Besides, I listened to Banxue's source field power carefully introduce it to me, although you can control the enemy invisibly, but there is a great instability factor. Therefore, you should not rely too much on the source field force, your own wisdom and courage are the most important. ”

Qi Yuancheng was moved in his heart, Professor Hua took good care of himself on weekdays, and he also fully trusted himself. What he said just now made his originally anxious heart feel much more calm. He said, "Thank you, Professor, I remember your instructions." ”

Hua Banxue said with a smile on the side: "Yuancheng, then I have prepared so many supplies for you?" You don't want to thank me? ”

Qi Yuancheng's head was big for a while, and he hurriedly said, "Thank you, senior sister, thank you senior sister for taking care of you." ”

Hua Banxue has always been a calm and quiet image, only occasionally making a little joke. She regained her normal color and asked Professor Hua, "Dad, the fish intestine sword is still kept with me." Just let Yuancheng take it away, right? Didn't Zhifei also find the same handle in the Wa Kingdom? ”

To Hua Banxue's surprise, Professor Hua shook his head and denied her opinion. He said: "It is precisely because of Zhifei's discovery that I think these two swords must have a great future. Perhaps the key to unlocking the secret of the letter stone. ”

Hua Banxue still didn't quite understand what Professor Hua meant. She asked puzzledly: "This sword is extremely sharp, wouldn't it be right for Yuancheng to defend himself?" ”

Professor Hua said with a smile: "When it comes to sharp blades, I don't think today's knives are necessarily worse than fish intestines. This time, the equipment brought by Yuancheng and the expedition team was more practical than that of fish intestines. Besides, haven't you found any other effects of fish intestines besides sharpness? It's better to stay, and when Zhifei and the others bring that one back, we'll study it together. ”

Qi Yuancheng nodded. He thinks Professor Hua's analysis is very reasonable. He said: "What the professor said makes sense, this time with a large army, there are many people, and I have made a lot of preparations myself. He clenched his fists and said, "My source field power is not longer than hand-to-hand combat, so I don't need a divine weapon like fish intestines. ”

Hua Banxue saw that the two had reached an agreement, although she was still a little worried, she didn't say anything anymore.

At this time, a greeting voice came from afar: "Qi Yuancheng!" ”

The three of them turned their heads to see a middle-aged man walking towards them. Professor Hua said: "Yuancheng, this is Professor Zhang who led the team this time. He is very knowledgeable about the history of the ancient Jurchen people and is a great expert in this area. You must learn more from him this time. ”

Professor Zhang walked over, shook hands with Professor Hua warmly, and said, "Lao Hua, you are here too." It seems that you really care about you! How? Don't worry about me leading the team? Do you want to come in person? ”

Professor Hua smiled and said, "Professor Zhang, what you said is really right. I'm a thousand worried, and I can't wait to join your expedition myself and see if you can take care of my disciples!" ”

The two have a close relationship, and when they meet, they naturally meet with a burst of ridicule and laughter.

Professor Hua said: "Lao Zhang, although my disciple is not studying the ancient history of Longhua Kingdom, I hope that he can dabble in many aspects, so this time in your team, you let him exercise more." And also—" He lowered his voice and said, "I told you before that I have some personal matters for him to deal with. He may need to leave the team for some time this time, so you can make it easier for you. ”

Professor Zhang frowned, although he had a close relationship with Professor Hua, he rarely heard Professor Hua talk about his personal affairs like this, and understood that there must be something very important. Although he is a typical person from Northeast Province, he is thick and fine. He understands that it is inconvenient for him to ask more, and Professor Hua is a decent person and has a good reputation in the school, so his affairs must not be anything against the law. Thinking of this, he smiled, patted Qi Yuancheng on the shoulder and said, "Then it depends on how well you understand this disciple!" I'm very busy at work, but I don't have time to keep an eye on it for you! Besides, this time I'm going to find Lao Jin, he ...... I guess I will take care of your disciples, too. ”
