Ma Tan walked to the podium, threw the book on the table, and held his gold-wire glasses, looking at the students in the audience.

This simple action couldn't be simpler, so that the originally noisy environment off the field suddenly fell silent.

Afterwards, Ma Jian began his performance on the podium.

It turned out that I had only heard of Ma Yan's status in the academic world, and I heard that he was highly respected and respected in the School of Paleontology. Today, I saw Ma Tan's lecture with my own eyes, and it was only then that I really understood some things that were originally just hearsay.

I now understand why Ma Jian can't live without his academics, without his school, and is willing to immerse himself in it for the rest of his life.

Because Ma Jian belongs here, he belongs to the three-foot podium at his feet.

His performance on the podium is in stark contrast to the dullness and woodenness of most of the time in reality.

Ma Tan's lecture is relaxed and lightweighted. Even though I didn't really understand what he was talking about, I still thought it was a pleasure to listen to his lectures.

It's not hard to see why it's overcrowded. I heard in the whispers of my classmates next to me that there were many students from other schools who came here to listen to Lao Ma's class.

As a result, my admiration for Ma Jian has gone up to a new level.

Ma Tan's lecture lasted nearly two hours, and finally ended with thunderous applause.

Ma Jian walked down from the podium with the book in his hand, saw me standing in the doorway, and waved at me. I followed him back to the office building of the School of Paleontology.

Ma Tan's face on the podium was full of energy, and when he walked down, he looked like an ordinary little old man.

I watched Ma Jian laugh incessantly.

Ma Jian stared at me and asked, "Li Yang, are you so happy to see me?" What are you laughing at? ”

I gave Ma Jian a thumbs up and praised, "Old Ma, I have seen it today." You really behave like a general in command. That aura, I obeyed. But you are such a good professor, you can't wear decent clothes to give lectures, right? This school leader doesn't care about you? This affects the image of the school so much, no wonder they all call you a strange professor. ”

Ma Jian pouted: "In my life, I have been used to doing my own thing, like this when I was young, and even more so when I am old." My lectures are for preaching and teaching, not for models to perform on stage, what can I wear? Even if I go up naked, it doesn't affect what I'm talking about. For so many years, the students I have sent away, one stubble after another, and that's how I talked about it......"

Ma Tan usually doesn't talk much, but when he sees me, he is willing to say more. As he spoke, I couldn't stop a little, and I didn't speak, just looked at him and smiled.

Ma Jian realized that he waved his hand: "You stinky boy, didn't you come to see me give a lecture this time?" What's going on again? ”

When I'm with Lao Ma, it's always a rare ease. This ease comes from the heart.

However, this ease did not last long, and when he asked, I had to mention the real purpose of my trip. This is bound to be an uneasy topic.

"Old Ma, I know you're studying paleontology, so you're right

Is there any research on ancient civilizations, ancient writings, etc.? ”

Ma Tan was a little surprised to hear my question, he glanced at me and shook his head: "What you are asking is all nonsense." You've also gone to college, so you should know that you specialize in art, especially at my age. In paleontology, I'm still learning, let alone other areas...... Why do you ask this? ”

I didn't hide it, I took out the note that the third uncle gave me and put it in front of Ma Yan.

On it were a few Yin characters that the third uncle had barely sketched out with his own memory. In fact, I know that these words look similar, and whether the specific writing is correct or not, the third uncle himself has no score.

Ma Tan said that the art industry specializes in that truth, and I naturally understand it. It is unlikely that a person of such learning will be able to be knowledgeable in all fields. The reason why we wanted to take this Yin script to consult Ma Jian was also to see if he could help us find someone who had studied ancient characters.

If it can be determined that these characters are not ancient characters, then it is very likely that this thing is the Yin script mentioned by the third uncle.

So I didn't pin my hopes on Ma Yan, but I didn't expect Lao Ma to take the note, flip it over and over again, and suddenly say: "Li Yang, you painted this...... Is it Yinwen? ”

I was originally sitting, but when I heard Ma Tan ask, Huo Ran stood up and was taken aback: "Old Ma, you ...... Do you recognize Yinwen? ”

If Ma Tan really knows Yinwen, then I can take him to the front of the stele and recognize the words on it.

At least it can provide us with a clue to solve the murderous situation.

I didn't expect Ma Jian to see my reaction, but he waved his hand: "Don't get excited, how can I recognize any Yin Wen?" ”

"That'...... You're ...... Why do you ask? "I was a little discouraged.

Lao Ma sighed: "It seems that what should be faced must be faced." Come on, come and see this ......."

The old horse did not answer me directly, but led me to the front of his bookcase, opened it, and rummaged through it.

While rummaging, he muttered: "It's been a long time, I'm older, my memory is not good, and I don't know if I can find ......."

The old horse flipped out the books in the bookcase one by one and threw them on the ground.

I had to help him sort out the books on the floor one by one.

After turning over for more than half an hour, Ma Jian finally shouted: "Yes, this is the ......"

I was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly leaned over to take a look.

Ma Tan was holding a book in his hand, but he was not looking at the contents of the book, but at a photograph sandwiched in the book.

Ma Tan showed me the picture.

When I saw that the picture was an old photo, it should have been taken with the kind of camera with film in the past, and the picture was far less clear than that of today's digital cameras. The environment in the photograph looks like a wilderness, but the subject is a huge rock.

I looked at it for a long time and didn't understand what the old horse meant by showing me this picture, so I asked puzzledly, "Old horse, isn't this just a stone?" What are you asking me to do with this? ”

Ma Tan glanced at me and picked up a magnification from the table

The mirror plugged me: "Take a closer look." ”

Suspiciously, I used a magnifying glass to take a closer look at the picture.

As a result, I really saw that on the surface of that boulder, there were also characters.

It's just that the stone is covered with turquoise moss-like plants, and the handwriting is a little blurred. But judging from a few words that are still a little clearer, it is indeed very similar to the so-called Yin inscriptions on the stone tablets we see and on the walls of the room.

Could it be that this stone is also a kind of yin script?

I couldn't help but ask, "Old Ma, where was this filmed?" ”
