36 Dusty past
Professor Hua invited Wang Zhifei to the café for a deep talk.
"Zhifei!" Professor Hua lowered his voice and motioned for Wang Zhifei to pay attention to his surroundings.
Wang Zhifei calmed down, and also lowered his voice but still looked very excited: "Teacher, you have to do some experiments, let me come!" I'm not afraid! I want power! He repeated these words over and over again, apparently in a state of madness.
Professor Hua looked around for a while, and found that no one noticed this, so he reached out and patted Wang Zhifei's shoulder, waiting for him to calm down completely.
Wang Zhi flew and suddenly whimpered like a child. The anguish caused by the nightmare he experienced in the Eastern Wa Kingdom was finally released at this moment.
Professor Hua sighed, secretly feeling sympathy for Wang Zhifei in his heart. He is not a source field force himself, but he is coincidentally involved in this crisis, which can be described as the core of all mankind, and Zheng not only participated in the battle himself, but also experienced the betrayal of his teammates and the death of his friends. This is unbearable for an adult with a mature mind, not to mention that he is only a college student.
Professor Hua lamented the sudden change in Rao's astonishing way. Among the three students of Qi Yuancheng, Wang Zhifei and Hua Banxue, Wang Zhifei is the most stubborn. He was loose and free, and never cared about his responsibilities, missions, and even his own future, but after experiencing this incident, he turned out to be a persistent avenger.
After a long while, Professor Hua saw that Wang Zhifei's emotions were no longer so excited, and finally spoke: "Zhifei, in fact, I knew about the existence of the Langmu people and Gu Luo Knock a long time ago. ”
Wang Zhifei was still immersed in grief and unwillingness, but was suddenly stunned by Professor Hua's words. He raised his head, looked at Professor Hua in disbelief, and asked, "Did Senior Sister tell you that?" ”
Professor Hua shook his head, "It's much earlier than you discovered the letter stone. He took a sip of his coffee and looked out the window as if he was reminiscing about the dusty past.
"Zhifei, although you are not a source field power, you know a lot about Lang Mu Rao's affairs, and you have even fought directly with Gu Luoke. This is an experience that most people in the world have never had. Although you are resentful of your friend's sacrifice and want revenge, I hope you will think about it. Professor Hua said to Wang Zhifei, "Don't make a decision in a hurry, I'll tell you a story, and then reply to me after you listen to it." ”
About 30 years ago, three of my best classmates were graduating together. They invariably chose the same archaeological expedition team for internship training. This is exactly what Professor Hua, Director Jin and Professor Zhang experienced when they were young.
Three good friends have very different personalities, but they are very close, both at work and in life. Because the three of them are young and talented, coupled with hard work, the old experts in the team love them very much, and often tell them some rare ancient books and history.
Although Director Jin is also a history major, he is not interested in real research, but more in the thrill of exploration and the achievement of discovering history, while Professor Fuhua and Professor Zhang are very interested in ancient historical books.
During one excavation, Curator Kim stumbled upon an inconspicuous stone carving tablet in the mound and rubble. The pattern on it is extremely primitive. He only knew that this was a rare antiquity, but he was not good at screening and identifying these antiquities, so he simply handed it over to Professor Hua and asked him to study it.
Professor Hua took the stone carving, and the peculiar pattern on it immediately attracted his attention. He painstakingly cleared the surface of the dirt with his tools and looked at it carefully with a magnifying glass. Although Professor Hua was young at the time, he already had a lot of insight into ancient culture. The artifact made his heart beat wildly. He judged it to be an ancient object that did not belong to any known dynastic civilization. But he was still not sure whether this belonged to a foreign civilization or a minority civilization, and planned to bring it back to study it carefully. He was about to put the board registration number in the safe deposit box when he suddenly hesitated. His instincts told him that this might be an opportunity to change his future.
Seeing that there was no one left and right, Professor Hua quietly put the slate into his clothes pocket, and then continued to clean and screen other items as if nothing had happened. For the rest of the day, he didn't have the heart to work at all, he just wanted to get back to his residence as soon as possible and study it carefully.
Just as Professor Hua was upset, a hand slapped him heavily on the shoulder. "Hua, was that thing valuable just now? What dynasty is it? The words were none other than Director Jin, who came back in a circle.
Professor Hua was already preoccupied, but this sudden startled him. He turned his head angrily: "It's just a broken tile, you are still a treasure." His face was a little ugly, "Lao Jin, you have time to study and study historical materials, so as not to be surprised by picking up anything." "I turned around and left.
Director Jin was confused by Professor Hua's head-splitting and face-to-face counting, but he didn't take it seriously and continued to work.
When Professor Hua returned to his residence, he first painstakingly rubbed down the patterns on the stone slabs, and then searched the school's library. At that time, the conditions were not as good as now, and there were no advanced retrieval tools such as computers, so they could only search through the materials one by one. Finally, the hard work paid off, and Professor Hua saw a description of a similar pattern in an article written by an unknown scholar. The meaning of the pattern is not detailed in the article, but it is mentioned in passing that some mountain people in the southwestern mountains have found such stone carvings, and classify it as a kind of totemic script in ethnic minority areas.
Professor Hua was overjoyed. He knew that the origin of this stone carving was by no means as simple as the article deduced, but should hide a greater secret. Fortunately, he already knew where this kind of stone carving had appeared, and he began to look for opportunities to go to the southwest mountainous area, and pay attention to the information related to this stone carving.
What made Professor Hua a little disappointed was that except for the stone carving and the only document in his hand, there was no clue at all. But it only made his curiosity and desire to explore grow even more. He never mentioned it to anyone, including his mentor and his close friends, Zhang and Jin, and only planned to make a shocking discovery in the academic world after the results of his research.
Finally, half a year later, the expedition team set off to the southwest mountains to investigate an ancient tomb of the Han Dynasty, which made Professor Hua very excited. In the past six months, he has been tormented by the desire to explore the truth and is about to go crazy, and after knowing the news of the expedition, he was the first to sign up.
The mountainous area of southwest China has always been a difficult point for archaeology. The terrain was dangerous, the geographical conditions were complicated, and it was the rainy season at that time, so most of the expedition members were worried, and there were few people like Professor Hua who volunteered.
