Chapter 8: Inferences After a Meal (2)

After listening to Zhang Tianye's reasoning, Professor Lin nodded with satisfaction, which also represented his recognition of Ye Xinxin's efforts in the past two years.

The legend of Lao Ye Mountain and the "Twelve Dooms" both point to that stone, it is obvious that this stone is the connection point of these two things, Ye Xinxin finally made a conclusion about this stone, she stuck out her tongue and continued, so the next question came: "Where did He Asan get this stone"?

This question directly pointed the finger at the key point, Zhang Tianye agreed with Ye Xinxin's reasoning, but there was no way for the two to unify their views on how He Asan got this stone.

This is also the reason why Ye Xinxin directly set her eyes on Professor Lin after speaking, of course, everyone wants to prove that their inferences are correct.

Professor Lin, who had not spoken, got up and stood up, walked to the bookshelf next to the desk, and took out a book called "Miscellaneous Talks at the End of the Joke" Zhang Tianye and Ye Xinxin.

Professor Lin wiped the book with his hand, and then began to say to them, this stone is indeed very strange, although I don't know the origin of this stone yet, I do know some information from the wild history, which happens to have something to do with this He Asan.

Legend He Asan himself is very evil, for the heart of the heart is not right, Zhang Xiuquan in the Lao Ye Mountain camp, once let He Asan in the vicinity to understand the terrain, who knows that this person is so happy, with his subordinates, secretly left Lao Ye Mountain.

In a family surnamed Wang, after ruining the old man's daughter, he killed his family, and when he was about to leave, he happened to meet the old man who came to the door to ask for water to drink.

This stone was found from his body, and the people at that time were very superstitious, thinking that the things on the Taoist priest must be able to ward off evil spirits, so they stayed, and then instructed his subordinates, including Lao Dao, to be locked in the house and burned everything in a fire.

On the way back, He Asan coerced and lured his subordinates not to tell them about today's events, and promised to take them to the house of the richest Lin rich man in Shili Town the next day, and turn around, so as to hide the matter.

There is also a theory that the gang of people of unknown origin who wanted to kill Zhang Xiuquan had colluded with He Asan a long time ago, and they handed over this stone to He Asan, as for the reason, the book does not say.

Professor Lin told the two of them what he knew with some regret, but his intuition told Zhang Tianye that this was not the case, Professor Lin must have hidden something and didn't say it, but he was embarrassed to ask, so he had to shake his head like him to express regret, but in his heart he was already thinking about how to make Professor Lin speak.

Obviously, Ye Xinxin was not very satisfied with such an answer, because although the results of her and Zhang Tianye's inferences were different, both clues pointed to the deeper origin of the stone, and she also began to suspect that her uncle was hiding something.

The two of them were full of joy when they returned to China this time, because they believed that Lin Zhengwei would definitely bring them a lot of information, and Zhang Tianye and Ye Xinxin, who chose to take "Twelve Calamities" and "The Mystery of Lao Ye Mountain" as their topics two years ago, were precisely because this story completely attracted them.

But the two of them are very decadent, the overall content of the conversation tonight, they know that they are all pediatrics, as long as the people who are traveling with them, with a little analysis, they can also come to the same conclusion, facing Lin Zhengwei, who has a strange attitude before and after, the two of them muttered in their hearts.

But this is not only the final thesis of the two of them, to a large extent, it represents the regret of the entire archaeological community over the years, as a well-known professor in China, to be able to find Qing Dynasty history books related to this mysterious stone, but to know very little about the ins and outs of this matter, it is indeed very unreasonable.

Ye Xinxin was a little breathless, and wanted to open the topic again, but was choked back by Zhang Tianye, because the matter of "hiding jade in the sea" was the only hole card for the two of them, and he didn't want to share it with Professor Lin too early, at least after Professor Lin was honest with each other.

This also once again verifies that Ye Xinxin, like himself, has only contacted Professor Lin by phone in the past few years, and there is nothing else, which is also the reason why he finally chose to rest assured of Ye Xinxin, because the matter of "hiding jade in the sea" is very important, not only involving the treasure of the ancient tomb, but also some other more important things.

But on this basis, that stone is the key point of the whole thing, because it is a crucial clue to open the legend of "Hidden Jade in the Sea".

Facing the reaction of the two people, Professor Lin smiled knowingly, I already knew that you two little ghosts are not so easy to fool, let me give you a clue, but the matter is over, I won't tell you anything more, and you have to find all the answers for yourself.

Seeing that Professor Lin was relieved of the two of them, the little guard in his heart was gradually lowered, Zhang Tianye hurriedly hinted that Ye Xinxin should take notes, and the real dry goods are coming!

Professor Lin coughed twice and cleared his throat, and his whole voice became louder, but he only said twelve words: "Under the jade, looking for the mountains, the dragon comes out, and the sea seeks."

Ye Xinxin and Zhang Tianye, who quickly recorded these twelve words, exclaimed at the same time and said four words: "Canghai Hidden Jade"!

Professor Lin, who was originally confident, sat on the chair next to him in shock after hearing these four words, the whole person seemed to fall apart, the expression on his face became nervous, and he yelled uncontrollably: "What else do you know, hurry up"!

Professor Lin's sudden reaction really startled the two of them, and Ye Xinxin, as Lin Zhengwei's niece, ran to him even more nervously, and asked a little timidly: "Uncle, what's wrong with you?" When I say this, it is like the attitude of the teacher when I teach the child after making a mistake, as if I have made a big mistake.

That's it, things have come to this point, I won't hide it from you, Professor Lin pointed to the white medicine bottle next to the desk, motioned for Ye Xinxin to take it, and saw his uncle loosen his mouth again, Ye Xinxin was very happy in his heart, but he was a little worried about what his uncle was stimulating.

After taking it, Ye Xinxin took out the 'phenytoin sodium tablets' from the medicine bottle, Lin Zhengwei took it in his mouth, swallowed it, closed his eyes, raised his hand to soothe his chest a few times, Ye Xinxin saw that his uncle's mind gradually stabilized, and sat back in his original position, seriously preparing to record what he was going to say next.

At this moment, Zhang Tianye seemed very calm, from Professor Lin's reaction in the school lecture hall yesterday, he saw the clues, and couldn't help but sigh that Uncle Lin was still Uncle Lin at that time, but people have changed, and they are a little less open-minded when they were young.

After closing his eyes, Professor Lin slowly opened his mouth and talked about what he tried to hide: "The Jade in the Sea" is not a legend, it is real, and your father died in this incident.

When Zhang Tianye heard that this matter had something to do with his father, his head buzzed, and he clenched his fists a little nervously, no one knew that for so many years, he wanted to wake up and tell everyone that his father was not a smuggler, and he and his mother didn't have to suffer so many years of white eyes, and even his mother would not die!

"Two years ago, you called me and said that when you were a child, your father told you the story of the "Twelve Sufferings", and you wanted to solve this historical mystery, and I was very relieved at that time, and your father had a successor, and he was also very worried, and you followed in his footsteps, and his obsession was very deep.

Alas! If I had listened to my advice at that time, there would have been no tragedy later, Professor Lin sighed with some regret.

The allusion of "Canghai Tibetan Jade" comes from a very ancient legend, according to legend, after successive emperors took office, they would send people to find the mysterious stone, the first to find this stone was Qin Shi Huang, which is why there is a story of Xu Fu looking for immortal medicine, but it is not enough that this is all wild history, there is no research.

The last person to get this stone was the Ming Dynasty Emperor Zhu Di, since the Ming Dynasty, there is almost no record of this stone, many years ago your father and I concluded that this stone was on the disappeared Zhu Di, but how it ended up in the hands of the expedition that invited your father to join, I don't know.

I remember that winter, one night when it was snowing heavily, your father was very excited to run to my house, telling me that he would soon be able to solve the mystery of 'Canghai Hidden Jade', and when I asked me if I wanted to join him, I was also very excited, but when I learned that I was cooperating with a smuggling gang, I chose to quit, and at that time your father's face was full of disappointment and left", Speaking of this, Professor Lin opened his eyes a little tiredly, and looked at Zhang Tianye with self-reproach.

Zhang Tianye, who also had bloodshot eyes, didn't look up at Professor Lin, because he knew that once he raised his head, Professor Lin would blame himself even more, and he would hate Professor Lin who had taken care of him for so many years.

Professor Lin, who was full of apologies, also hated why he didn't stop Zhang Xinghai at that time, otherwise there would be no tragedy later.

After rubbing his eyes, Professor Lin continued: "When your father was leaving, he told me that 'Canghai Hidden Jade' refers to a mountain, there is an ancient tomb in the mountain, according to legend, there are many treasures in it, and there is a map, the route of that map ends in a mysterious place that no one knows, and the mystery in it can make people reborn and lead to another world, but I only believe that there is such a thing as an ancient tomb, but I don't believe that there will be that kind of anti-scientific existence, which is one of the reasons why I rejected your father.

Originally, I wanted to bring this secret into the coffin, when your father took a long leave from school to set off with this team, he quietly came to my house and told me, if you grow up and know, the matter of the hidden jade in the sea, you must tell you about it, in fact, your father was also forced back then, because this gang used you and your mother as hostages, if he didn't agree, you would be in danger, and finally before leaving, he left me a note with three words written on it'.
