Chapter 378 Same in the rivers and lakes, different lives
Evan Charles seems to be irritated by Yang Jingbin's attitude, and his pride as an aristocrat makes him no longer take the initiative to pay attention to Yang Jingbin.
It was Yang Jingbin who regretted a little afterwards and gave birth to the idea of taking the initiative to make friends.
It's just that in the leisure time of the academic report conference, there are constantly experts and scholars from all over the world, as well as those experts and professors in China, who usually have the rare opportunity to meet, and coincide with the academic discussion conference, they have invited Yang Jingbin or his assistant Wen Shuo in advance to discuss, communicate, and hold small meetings, and the daily schedule is full.
Time flies, the first phase of the conference is coming to an end, and the last one is Evan Charles's academic report.
His academic research is related to the process of civilization in Eurasia, which involves ancient beliefs, totems, and the spread and evolution of many witchcrafts, which is similar to Yang Jingbin's research, which makes Yang Jingbin, who already has the idea of friendship, want to discuss and exchange with Evan Charles more and more.
After the end of the report conference, Yang Jingbin, who had rarely made arrangements, returned to the room and couldn't wait to ask Wen Shuo's opinion: "Wen Shuo, this Evan Charles's academic report is a bit interesting, I want to take the initiative to ask for advice and exchange research with him in this area...... Well, mainly for academic discussions on archaeology and historical civilizations. Think about it, judging from the well-known history and the results of archaeological research in Eastern and Western countries over the past hundred years, is there an inevitable connection between Western magic or magic and our Chinese mystical law?"
Wen Shuo frowned and thought for a while, and said with a smile: "As the old saying goes, there is nothing in the world, and mediocre people disturb themselves. We can't figure out the origin and purpose of this Evan Charles for a while, so let's not get contaminated. ”
However, judging from his academic reports, he is indeed a professional and excellent archaeologist with a wealth of knowledge. ”
But he still ...... Hmm, in Western terms, should I be called a magician or a mage?"
"Looks like it's all right?"
Wen Shuo waved his hand and said, "I understand your feelings, I want to get in touch with Western magic, understand their magic talismans, spells, magic weapons, and the use and function of the corresponding magic talismans and magic weapons, etc." However, people may not be willing to share it with you, and even want to get some knowledge of Huaxia Xuanfa from you. ”
"Communicate and share. Yang Jingbin said indifferently.
"Your thinking is very dangerous, if you really do this, you will probably become the first person to board the killing order in the Xuanmen rivers and lakes in the nearly two hundred years since the withering of the rivers and lakes, and even bear the infamy of the ages. Wen Shuo sneered.
Yang Jingbin shuddered: "Why?"
There's an old saying that doesn't really sound like it, but it's just right to answer this question. Wen Shuo pursed his lips and said, "The cub sells Ye Tian......"
"Uh......" Yang Jingbin said embarrassedly, "Then I, what if I get some Western magical knowledge from Evan Charles, or rather, we have earned it? Besides, I, I just want to discuss academic issues with him." ”
Wen Shuo looked at him with some surprise and said, "Are you so sure that the other party is a big stupid hat?"
"Anyway, there will be no problem with academic discussion and exchange anyway. Yang Jingbin smiled bitterly: "What's more, I'm not a mystic scholar myself, if I want to communicate with the other party, I have to know how to do it, you don't have to worry." ”
"Be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years. Wen Shuo shook his head and said, "In his heart, you are already a Xuanshi!"
"I ......"
"Okay, I won't say anything else!" Wen Shuo glared and said, "At least, in the eyes and hearts of these gringos, you have to hold up the shelf of our Huaxia Xuanshi, and you can't fall into the trap!
"Okay. Yang Jingbin reluctantly agreed.
Wen Shuo then smiled and said with relief: "Maybe that Evan Charles is also hanging on your mind, wait, in case he takes the initiative to find you again, so that you can first occupy the initiative in the next exchange, and discuss the knowledge and research within the academic scope, if you want to exchange the mystical method, then don't talk about it, right?"
"Yes, yes, yes......"
Yang Jingbin is very self-aware, and in terms of people's hearts and business, he is not a little bit different from this student, so he obeys Wen Shuo's words.
At the same time.
It is thousands of miles away from Xiliang Wuwei City, west of Linyang City, deep in the mountains of Shanzhou County.
The sun sets in the west.
Because there are stretches of mountains and forests that have been planted since the founding of the People's Republic of China, shaded by lush trees, and the "artificial Tianhe" red flag canal meanders through, just the right amount to take away the heat without the air being humid, so even in this hot summer season, the deep mountains are breezy through the forest, creating a pleasant coolness.
In the small, old courtyard that had not been dilapidated because it had been tended for a long time, Hong Sheng lay shirtless on a bamboo recliner by the well platform, looking at the gradually darkening sky with a slightly dull expression.
If you look closely, you will find that there are no mosquitoes and flies in this courtyard, and it is exceptionally clean and tidy.
An old dog with white yellow hair lying on his stomach under a low wall not far away, squinting and sleeping soundly.
In the early morning when he found the corpse's body, he was so angry that he jumped to his feet in the mountains and forests, cursing the immortals and Buddhas, and cursing the Xuanshi who stole the corpse's evil qi, but when he finally calmed down, he found that Qin Zhen, Qin Luofeng, Qin Yao, the three ancestors and grandsons looked at them indifferently and suspiciously, and then Qin Luofeng's seemingly calm inquiry, detailed inquiry, including Qin Zhen and Qin Yao, both of whom were questioned by Qin Luofeng.
On the night when the corpse was lost, Qin Zhen and Qin Yao practiced in the room.
And Hong Sheng meditated and practiced in the courtyard.
Hong Sheng could easily detect whether Qin Zhen and Qin Yao, the two grandsons, were abnormal, because his cultivation was the highest. But Qin Zhen and Qin Yao may not be able to sense Hong Shang's quiet departure. This has also become an indescribable suspicion for Hong Shang.
Qin Luofeng had reason to suspect him.
After he asked Qin Luofeng about Yang Jingbin's situation, he became more and more sure that it was Yang Jingbin who happened to go to Xiliangzhou for a meeting to cover up the despicable behavior of rushing to Linyang to steal the corpse - Hong Shang's suspicions are justified, a professor at Beijing University, a well-known top expert and scholar in the domestic archaeological field, went to Xiliangzhou to participate in an international-level archaeological academic seminar, and did not choose to take a plane, but chose to spend dozens of hours by train at the expense of fatigue......
How can it be?
For such reasons, Qin Luofeng had to be suspicious, but Hong Shang's suspicion could not be lifted, so before the matter was investigated to the results, or it was confirmed that it was impossible to investigate the results and give up, Hong Shang, who was extremely suspicious, should not leave this small courtyard.
Hong Sheng has a violent temper and a stinky mouth, but he acts as a person, but he is a bright and upright character, and he never hides what he wants.
In order to prove his frankness and innocence, he promised Qin Luofeng not to leave the small courtyard for half a step.
But Hong Sheng was aggrieved, resentful, and helpless in his heart - he didn't want to stay here like this, he couldn't wait to fly to Hanwei City, Xiliang Prefecture immediately, find Yang Jingbin, who he had already thought had stolen the corpse's evil qi, questioned him face to face, and asked for the evil qi back.
!
Is it easy to encounter a corpse in this day and age?
Your Yang Jingbin's cultivation has already reached the mid-stage realm of refining the gods and returning to the void, and you got the yin and evil qi of a corpse last year, why bother to steal the two of us who worked hard to find the corpse that we found after great luck?
The sound of a car engine came from outside, and Hong Sheng put away his messy thoughts, turned his head and frowned to look at the door.
A white van taxi drove to the door, and after the driver got out of the car, he bent down around the car to check the condition of the car with a reluctant look on his face, and from time to time he squatted down and poked his head to check if there was anything wrong under the car.
Qin Luofeng got down from the co-pilot's seat, the back door opened, and Jing Bai, dressed in plain clothes, got out of the car with a smile on his face.
"Mr. Jing, please ......," Qin Luofeng gestured.
In the courtyard, Hong Sheng had already gotten up, and greeted him with a hearty smile of surprise: "Mr. Jing, why are you here?"
This guy with a foul mouth, but no heart and no lungs!
Jing Bai couldn't cry or laugh in his heart, and while going inside, he arched his hand and said: "I heard that the scenery here is good, so I can't help but want to come to the place of the two of you to bother you with a clean cultivation." ”
"Hey, as long as you like it, it's no problem to live here in the future!" Hong Sheng laughed.
Hearing the sound of talking outside, Qin Zhen, who was staying in the room, walked out, frowned, and said, "Hong Shang, this is not your home, you are doing it well!"
"Oh, yes, yes......" Hong Sheng smiled awkwardly.
Qin Zhen's stiff face immediately converged, and he walked towards Jing Bai with a smile: "Master Jing, look up for a long time, my remote and barren broken shed is also a little shining, welcome to the cold house, come, please sit ......"
"Don't dare to be, don't dare to be, is Mr. Qin well?" Jing Bai stepped forward with a smile.
"Okay, okay. ”
Outside the courtyard gate.
The boss of the taxi driver reluctantly complained to Qin Luofeng, he didn't expect it to be so far, and the mountain road was really difficult to walk, and he lost a hundred yuan in fare, until Qin Luofeng happily gave an extra fifty yuan in fare, the driver was full of joy, thanked him excitedly, and then drove away.
Hong Shang, who accompanied Qin Zhen and Jing Bai to the stone table in the courtyard, had been a little impatient with the nagging of the driver outside before, and at this moment, listening to the sound of the car engine, turning his head to see the vehicle leaving, Qin Luofeng walked into the courtyard, he snorted coldly, and said with a straight face, half sarcastic and half complaining: "Qin Luofeng, let you drive a motorcycle, what grade do you have to put up, get a taxi to pick up people...... Mr. Jing is not an outsider, which is really a superfluous move. ”
Qin Luofeng smiled and shook his head, but he didn't refute it, and he didn't have the same knowledge as Hong Shang.
On the contrary, Jing Bai was slightly embarrassed, so he had to say: "Mr. Hong is right, but let Lao Qin break your ......."
Qin Luofeng smiled again, it was a bitter smile, an embarrassing smile.
