After coming out of the hospital, I went back to Zou Yanchang's residence. In the room where the pen was beaten and tattered www.biquge.info I found a stool and sat down.

All this is too coincidental, I just encountered the disease, he told me that Zou Yanchang had been killed by him, out of the ancient tomb just returned to Wuhan, I rushed to Zou Yanchang's house non-stop, but the day before I arrived, Zou's house was ransacked by a group of robbers, Zou Yanchang also because of the fight with it, injured and hospitalized, this time is too coincidental.

After all this experience, I feel a little nervous now, and such a coincidence has to make me feel that someone has arranged it in advance. And I really can't think of anyone else this person except for that disease.

Just thinking about it, the fat man came with the poison-eyed dragon, and when he saw the mess in the house, the fat man was also stunned: "What's going on?" What about Uncle Zou? Is that really coming? ”

I gave the fat man a blank look: "That Guan Ji didn't come, and a group of robbers came." Already caught. ”

I told the two of them all the important things about the cause and effect, and they both felt that the incident was too coincidental, as if someone had deliberately arranged it.

But then the poison-eyed dragon said: "Maybe we are too worried, maybe our preconceived ideas are too strong, and it can't be said that it is not his own auspicious appearance." ”

The next few days were calm, nothing happened, and I was temporarily inconvenient to leave for a hundred days, so I paid some people to rearrange the broken things in the house.

I would go to the hospital every day to see Zou Yanchang, and during this time, I have been thinking about why Guan Ji didn't attack us in the ancient tomb since he seriously injured his grandfather and designed to kill his grandfather and father.

What exactly does he want from me, what secrets are hidden in the fragments in my hands?

After the fat man and the poison-eyed dragon returned to Wuhan, the Jianshu and jade pillows brought out of the ancient tomb were also inexplicably gone, and the two of them were lost for a long time because of this incident.

On this day, I saw Zou Yanchang come out of the hospital, found a noodle restaurant at random, ate a bowl of hot dry noodles, the fragrant sesame sauce attracted mouthwater, gobbled up the noodles, got up and prepared to leave.

Two student-looking boys sitting diagonally across from me were chatting with each other, and one of the boys with glasses said, "I'm depressed, we're going to call papers these days, and although I've been studying for three years, I haven't even seen a decent cultural relic, and the museum is about to stink." ”

Another smiled wryly and said, "Hey... It turned out that my dad had to ask me to study archaeology, saying that I would go back and see if there were any valuable antiquities at home, so that I wouldn't understand anything and sell it as a bargain. ”

Hearing this, I suddenly remembered that I still had a position in the Education Bureau, and for various reasons, I chose to leave my job without pay and go to Guangdong to earn a living. The Education Bureau has this relationship with various universities, and it should not be difficult to use the convenience of the position to find people.

After leaving the noodle shop, I found the fat man, at this time the poison-eyed dragon has been in Wuhan for many days, and is about to go south to Guangdong to see his business, after listening to my idea, but also said that it is feasible, after all, there are masters everywhere, maybe there will be someone who can understand what I have in my hand.

The director of the Education Bureau is a fat man with a fat head and big ears, named Luo Tian, who is oily and powdery, and he knows that he usually eats not much worse by looking at his stomach.

At first, he thought that I was here to be reinstated, and his attitude was a little lukewarm, but after I explained where I came from, the whole person's attitude turned 180 degrees, and he very enthusiastically introduced a staff member who had a good relationship with the history department of Wuhan University to me, and asked her to take me to Zuo Zhongtian, a professor at the School of History of Wuhan University.

Luo Tian called this clerk Xiao Li, looking at her, she should be less than twenty-five years old, quite handsome. According to Luo Tian, she graduated from the School of History in college and was assigned to the Education Bureau, which is specifically responsible for liaising with the history schools of various universities.

Along the way, Xiao Li asked very enthusiastically, especially when he saw the poison-eyed dragon dressed as a fortune teller, he felt even more curious, how could anyone still dress up like this for years, and couldn't help but take a few more looks.

I smiled and said, "Don't look at him like that, he's a famous figure in archaeology." ”

"People give the nickname - Poison-Eyed Dragon. I haven't heard of it. The fat man didn't forget to tease the poison-eyed dragon at this time.

Xiao Li didn't buy it at all: "Don't fool me, how can there be such a young big man in our archaeological world, even if there is, I should know something." ”

I said, "Don't believe me, do you know how he got his nickname for the poison-eyed dragon?" This is not the one-eyed dragon with one eye, this poison-eyed dragon means that his eyes are poisonous, and as soon as the object is in his hand, he can immediately see the age and provenance, which is not blown. ”

The poison-eyed dragon always looked unfazed, and he didn't speak, Xiao Li listened to my words, and couldn't help but look at him a few more times, and pouted suspiciously.

Today, Wednesday, Xiao Li took us around the campus of Wuhan University, and finally found Zuo Zhongtian, who was in class at this time. I looked at the time, waited for him to get out of class, and estimated that he would get some food, but fortunately, Xiao Li said that he usually doesn't go to class in the afternoon.

We waited in a small shop downstairs until he finished class, all the students were gone, and Zuo Zhongtian was unhurriedly packing up his things in the back. Maybe it's his professional habits that make him so meticulous in everything he does.

Finally waited for him to walk out of the classroom, Xiao Li walked up quickly, Zuo Zhongtian saw her, and a smile appeared on his serious face: "Xiao Li, why do you have time to come to me today?" Isn't there any errand in your Education Bureau..."

Before he finished speaking, Zuo Zhongtian saw the three of us following behind Xiao Li, and the smile that was originally on his face disappeared in an instant, and I was puzzled by the poison-eyed dragon and the fat man, and I didn't know where to offend him.

Seeing this, Xiao Li hurriedly explained: "Oh, I almost forgot, let me introduce, this is my teacher, Professor Zuo Zhongtian, this is..."

"Hello, Professor Zuo, my name is Zou Yi." Xiao Li winked at me, I hurriedly took over the conversation, stretched out my right hand to shake hands with him, but who knew that this Professor Zuo just glanced at me, lowered his head and sorted out the textbooks in his hand.

Xiao Li seemed to have expected this embarrassing atmosphere, and laughed: "Teacher, this Mr. Zou is also from our Education Bureau, but in response to the call of the country, he left his job without pay and went to the sea to do business." This time, I was also entrusted by our director to bring him to meet you. ”

I heard that Xiao Li and I belong to the same unit, Professor Zuo's gloomy face eased slightly, and the textbooks in his hand were almost packed: "Let's go, let's go to my office and tell me something." ”

On the way to the office, Xiao Li kept following Professor Zuo's side and said a few words from time to time. Along the way before she came, she told me that Professor Zuo Zhongtian is a stubborn old man with a strange temper, and he seems to have some indescribable complex grievances with Luo Tian, the director of education, but the strange thing is that Professor Zuo is still a little different from other university professors, unless necessary, he rarely publishes some papers, and even articles rarely write out, so that he is not a very good person, and few people generally know how deep his historical and cultural skills are.

But even so, I still can't understand his initial attitude towards us, even if it's a stranger, it shouldn't be.

When you approach Professor Sun's office, it doesn't feel like there's a special feeling, it's like when you approach a medical professor's office and you can't see a skull shelf, or a geographer's office doesn't have a globe. Professor Zuo's office has almost nothing to do with history and archaeology, just a simple bookcase filled with all kinds of books, a desk, a coffee table and two leather sofas, all of which are standard in public homes.

It's no wonder that Xiao Li said that the outside world would feel mysterious about this Professor Zuo, and even experts like the Poison-Eyed Dragon showed disappointment on their faces after walking into the office.

Without waiting for us to speak, Zuo Zhongtian put down the textbook in his hand and asked, "What's the matter with the surname Luo asking you to come to me?" ”

I glanced back at the photo on the table, and didn't answer his question directly: "Professor Zuo has also been to Yunnan?" Zuo Zhongtian glanced at the photo frame on the table, did not speak, and I said: "I think Professor Zuo must have some misunderstanding about us, when I was a soldier in Yunnan in the past, what I admired most was cultured people, and I didn't want to leave a bad impression in the heart of a purely cultured person." ”

Zuo Zhongtian still has that calm and serious face: "Since he is a soldier who serves the country, even if he takes off his military uniform, he should not be in the company of those shameless villains." Tell me, what's the matter, I'll have a class later. ”

It's all said about this, if I still don't understand why, it would be too stupid, fortunately, there is Xiao Li on the side, I glanced at her, and said to Zuo Zhongtian: "Professor Zuo, I think you have misunderstood, I have been assigned to the Education Bureau since I changed jobs, counting this time, I have stepped into the door of the Education Bureau twice, almost no one in the unit knows me, if it weren't for this document of suspension without pay in my hand, I am afraid that Director Luo would not let Xiao Li take me to see you." ”

Hearing this, Zuo Zhongtian glanced at Xiao Li suspiciously, Xiao Li nodded heavily, indicating that it was indeed as I said, and his face softened: "Please sit down." ”

The four of them sat on the sofa one after another, Xiao Li gave us all tea, saw that the big thing had been accomplished, so he left under the pretext, after Xiao Li left, Zuo Zhongtian's face showed a smile again: "Xiao Li, this girl is a good girl, when she is studying, she is not the best, but she is also the hardest, she likes to study, I asked her to stay in school to teach, her family did not agree, I had to let her enter the agency." ”

Speaking of which, I couldn't help but feel a little sorry later, I smiled and said: "Professor Zuo, I don't regret it, maybe Xiao Li will play a more important role in the protection of history and culture in the institution than in the school, I believe that in time he will be able to make a great difference." ”

Zuo Zhongtian snorted coldly: "Hmph, just that Education Bureau, if it was before, with Xiao Li's ability, maybe it would be a matter of time before he could make a big difference, but now there are such hooligans as leaders, it's just a fool's dream." ”

The hooligan mentioned by Zuo Zhongtian is Luo Tian, when I first saw him, I felt that this person was not a good person, and after talking with Zuo Zhongtian, I knew their grievances, Zuo Zhongtian is a person with a temperament, and it is difficult for such a person to make a difference in the current institutional environment.

Luo Tian is different from him, he is sleek and unscrupulous. The two are both college classmates, Zuo Zhongtian has always wanted to achieve something in academics, while Luo Tian is bent on seeking a half-official position in the agency and getting promoted to make a fortune.

It just so happened that this year, the Municipal Education Bureau came to recruit people, hoping to find a fresh graduate with insightful history, and both of them were optimistic about this opportunity at the same time.

Zuo Zhongtian felt that getting a job in the Education Bureau would provide a better opportunity for the protection and dissemination of history and culture.

The title of the election campaign was a dissertation, a dissertation on historical archaeology. At first, the two almost discussed the content of the paper together, and after a sleepless week.

In the end, when the Education Bureau announced the list of hired personnel, Zuo Zhongtian's name fell to Sun Shan, and less than a month later, Zuo Zhongtian saw the paper that Luo Tian was admitted to in a magazine, which was almost exactly the same as what he wrote.

Zuo Zhongtian was about to go to Luo Tian to theorize at that time, but Luo Tian had been avoiding it, Zuo Zhongtian wanted to report to the city, but was criticized by the city leaders, telling him not to think about these crooked ways all day long, and to do his own thing.

Zuo Zhongtian was puzzled by this matter, and as soon as he said it, the leaders of the city criticized him without asking the reason. In the end, I had to go back in disgrace.

Later, through some gossip, I learned that before he went to the city leaders, Luo Tian had already mentioned this matter to the city preemptively, and pitifully said that he didn't expect that one of his papers would cause such a big turmoil, and if he delayed his work, it would really not be worth it.

The city leaders also listened to Luo Tian's words, and then Zuo Zhongtian criticized him with a head and face, so far, although the paper turmoil subsided, but Luo Tian plagiarized his own paper, Zuo Zhongtian has always kept it in mind, so that he will never publish half a word in any magazine or newspaper unless necessary.

The change in attitude towards us was also after Xiao Li's affirmation.

The more Zuo Zhongtian spoke, the more angry he became, and finally he had to sigh: "Hey... Let me make you laugh, such old things should not be mentioned to outsiders. ”

The fat man took over the conversation with a big grin: "Hey... What is the professor talking about, this kind of Sven scum should be preached everywhere, otherwise others will still worship him as a wise and martial leader, if I want to say that you scholars have a good temper, if I meet this kind of person, I would have already shaved his ears. ”

Zuo Zhongtian laughed: "I can't see that your fat friend is quite bloody."

The fat man was a person who couldn't listen to good words, and immediately came to his senses: "That's, I think when I was in Vietnam..."

"Okay, don't blow it, let's come to the professor for business, don't delay the professor to educate the next generation of the motherland." If I let the fat man continue, I guess I won't be able to finish it, so I hurriedly interrupted him.

Zuo Zhongtian put away his smile, I took out the pair of tiger talismans from my bag, and the remnants left by my grandfather, and handed them to him: "Professor Zuo, can you help me see where these two things come from." ”

Zuo Zhongtian took the things and looked at them in his hands, then walked to the desk and turned on the lamp, and looked carefully under the light with reading glasses.

He took off his reading glasses, rubbed his eyes, and asked, "Can you tell me where you got this thing from?" ”

I said, "This piece of scrap was handed down by my grandfather when he was learning art, and this tiger talisman was also snatched back from a Japanese when he was fighting." My grandfather said that the things of our ancestors were almost robbed by little Japan, and this thing belonged to us. ”

Zuo Zhongtian stared at my eyes, as if he wanted to see if I was lying, and after a while, he sighed: "Our country has now lost countless treasures overseas, and it is rare that there are still people in your time who can remember these precious cultural relics." Why don't you consider donating it. ”

I was a little embarrassed, but I also learned from him to sigh: "Hey... To tell you the truth, one of these two things was inherited by my grandfather, and before his master died, he told him to find the other half, and now this thing has been passed down from my grandfather's hand to me for some years, and I don't want to find the other half, I just want to know a history, and I will have an explanation for my grandfather in the future. Besides, my grandfather's elder brother seems to have been obsessed with this thing all along, and he may come back to me one day. I've thought about it, but I don't think the time has come. ”

Zuo Zhongtian didn't dwell on this matter anymore, but his face suddenly changed, and he said in a low voice: "Your story is very moving, if you are someone else, you may really let you pass, but you can't deceive me." The smell of the earth on your body, except for professional archaeologists, only tomb robbers will be contaminated, and the three of you are not dressed by the archaeological team, let's say, what are you doing. ”

It's been a long time, this Zuo Zhongtian has been testing me, and he didn't even believe me from beginning to end, when he was in Beijing, he was bombed once by Gu Nan, Gutong's teacher, and he was unprepared and not fooled, where could he be coaxed at this time.

I smiled unhurriedly, "Let me explain this. I don't know if Professor Zuo knows Professor Gu Nangu. Zuo Zhongtian glanced at me, nodded, and I continued: "Half a year ago, Professor Gu's student Gu Tong formed an archaeological team in Guangdong and entered the Xinjiang region to investigate ancient ruins, and I was fortunate to participate in it. He was accompanied by medical expert Tong Qin, biologist Li Mei, and Duan Xiaoxuan, honorary lifelong advisor of the British Museum. ”

After listening to my story, General Zuo Zhongtian asked me some details about Gu Nan suspiciously, and then he regained his peace: "Your entry into the Xinjiang desert was also a huge adventure, and I have also heard about this matter. ”

The fat man was on the side, listening to Zuo Zhongtian's constant tentative questions, and he was already impatient: "I said old professor, we are also old friends around the corner, you can't show me what the origin of this thing is, if it is worth the trip." ”

As soon as I heard the fat man's words, my head buzzed with a big buzz, when did this idiot speak badly, and I was about to open my mouth to reprimand him when he said such an inappropriate thing at this time.

Zuo Zhongtian waved his hand to signal that it was okay for me: "You are really an impatient, okay, I will also tell you my opinion, but first make it clear, out of this door, don't say that I said it anywhere." ”

Everyone nodded in agreement, and they almost swore to make up their minds, and Zuo Zhongtian opened his mouth to say: "Let's talk about this tiger talisman first..."

I don't need to say that I know the role of the tiger talisman, but the thing I brought out from the mountains of Sichuan in my hand is at least four or five thousand years old, and it belongs to the late Shang and early Zhou periods, that is, the era when King Wu was defeated.

Some words are engraved on the inside of the two tiger talismans, which probably means that this thing is the thing of Taigong Jiang Shang, which is used to command the soldiers and horses of the world. And it seems to have a special purpose, being the key to open the door of a certain Vault.

When the three of us heard this, our hearts ached, could it be that there is still a treasure in the ancient tomb of the general of Pakistan? But these two tiger talismans are both used in the ancient tomb, and after opening it, it is nothing more than coming out of it, where is there any treasure. We can't ask Zuo Zhongtian about this now, we have to think about it in our hearts.

Zuo Zhongtian looked at one of the small lines and said to us, "This secret treasure seems to be used for sacrifice, and it seems to be related to a kind of sacred object. During the Western Zhou Dynasty, King Wen had a legend - Fengming Qishan, and later someone found a phoenix platform in Chu State, it is said that some ceremonies must be held to attract the return of the phoenix, of course, this is just a legend, and the credibility is a matter of opinion. ”

The half of the jade slip left by my grandfather, Zuo Zhongtian took it in his hand and looked at it for a long time, shaking his head for a while, nodding his head for a while, and we were all shocked to see it, for fear that he would see something from this quick remnant, and even more afraid that he would not be able to see anything, and everyone was sitting on the side and the cold sweat was about to flow down.

Zuo Zhongtian put down the remnants in his hand and shook his head: "With all due respect, my knowledge is limited, and it is really difficult to see where this thing came from and what era. But at least it should be in the period of Liangchu culture. It seems to have some kind of connection with the tiger talisman in your hand, and as far as I can judge, this thing should not be a piece of calligraphy, but a white jade tiger talisman, you can see if this thing is just right for the tiger's legs. ”

I took the remnant and put it on the tiger talisman to compare, as Zuo Zhongtian said, this thing is a leg on the tiger talisman, compared to it, I found that it is almost identical, only slightly larger. (To be continued.) )
