When Dongfang Chen told Professor Mu the explosive news, the professor didn't act as ecstatic as him. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Mu Lao was still very sensible, and thought in his heart that even if the age of this artifact coincided with the time of the legendary existence of Atlantis, there was nothing to be happy about.

Because Atlantis itself is a legend, it appears in the eyes of historians on the most formal occasions either as legends or as heard, and even Plato's records are still told by others, and he himself has not seen them. So far, there is no direct archaeological evidence to prove the existence of Atlantis, there are more civilizations that can refine gold 10,000 years ago, and this thing has no technical content, but the purity of the ancients refining gold is too low.

"Ah Chen, don't get excited, calm down, are you sure this thing belongs to Williams himself?" the professor diverted from the subject.

"Of course, he personally said that this was a gift for the coming-of-age ceremony, but he was the only seedling of the Williams family, and it should be impossible for him to fool him with this!" Dongfang Chen was so anxious that he couldn't take care of the basic etiquette between teachers and students, and blurted out foul words.

The professor didn't say a word, but picked up the gold coin-shaped object with his gloved left hand, and looked at it over and over again, his eyes wandering and his expression cloudy.

Dongfang is the best at observing words and feelings, and when he saw the professor with such a look, he couldn't help but wonder in his heart.

Just as Dongfang Chen was deducing the professor's possible thoughts in his heart, the professor suddenly said in a strange tone: "I know that none of the people in the William family have any good things, and all the pretending is to act for outsiders, and the real good things must be all in their pockets." Hmph, it's okay to deceive foreigners, but you want to fool me? “

After saying this, he couldn't help but blush, and quickly raised his head, just as he saw Dongfang Chen staring at him, he immediately returned to the demeanor of a master and asked, "What's wrong?" Ah Chen, is there any other problem?"

"Teacher, please tell me responsibly whether you used to rob tombs or not?"

Dongfang Chen didn't save any face, and asked very seriously. Besides, he did hear rumors about the professor's catching wind and shadows in this regard.

"Hehe, young and frivolous, don't mention it, don't mention it. “

The professor neither admitted nor denied it, but he wailed in his heart: Why do you always forget this kid's IQ, and always think that you have eaten more than others for decades, and then you inadvertently get carried away? Hey, I have been shrewd all my life, but I have carelessly lost Jingzhou when I entered the soil, and I can't make such a low-level mistake again in the future. Fortunately, this matter is not a secret, and you must be careful with this kid in the future.

Professor Mu seemed to be a little tired, so he found a chair by the window and sat down, looking at the leaves outside the window in a daze, Dongfang was also very interested in swallowing all his questions, and stood quietly aside.

At this time, Professor Mu had already wandered into the world, recalling his own bits and pieces.

Professor Mu, formerly known as Li Mu, was born shortly after the founding of the People's Republic of China. Born in an inconspicuous merchant family in Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

This family has passed down the ancestral teachings since ancient times, where the family men, according to the qualifications are divided into two parts, some people or study into the office, or speculative business, or widely placed in the good field mulberry garden tea mountain, called Yutang. After a little success, these people will all change their surnames, no matter what the final outcome is, and leave them to their own devices, but each family will send the newly weaned eldest son of the family to the patriarchal hall according to the old rules.

On the surface, Yutang seems to have nothing to do with the family, but in fact, they secretly break off the connection with the sect master's hall, and use various conditions and relationships to try their best to maintain the development of the family, and if necessary, they would rather sacrifice themselves to protect the family, and their family names can still enter the ancestral temple after their death.

And the other part of the people is called Motang, that is, the sect master hall. These people have been harshly trained since childhood, specializing in the family's true old business: tomb robbing! After all, not forgetting the roots is also a traditional virtue of the Chinese!

The members of the Ink Hall are also responsible for the rewards and punishments of the entire family, overseeing and deterring those who have changed their names and surnames to prevent them from breaking away from the control of the Patriarchal Church. The number of Motang is relatively scarce, because the accidental mortality rate is too high, but everyone who survives is the elite of the family elite, and it is also an important branch of the southern sect of tomb robbers in ancient China.

However, it is this peculiar ancestral precept that has made this family flourish in the land of China with the change of dynasties for more than a thousand years, and I can't help but sigh at the wisdom of its ancestors!

Li Mu is really an outlier, an unborn genius in the family who has not met in a hundred years. Because he was born at the time of liberation and grew up under the red flag, in such a harsh environment, he still had extraordinary talent and superhuman perseverance, and he learned all the unpassed skills of the family at the age of twelve.

What is even more rare is that he was extremely intelligent, diligent and studious, and when it was impossible to do his old job, he devoted all his attention to learning scientific and cultural knowledge, and at the age of fourteen he had already completed the university courses at that time. At this point, he has a lot to do with Dongfang Chen, which is also the reason why Li Mu did everything possible to get him by his side after getting to know Dongfang Chen, because Dongfang Chen is too much like himself, except for his appearance.

If this was placed before the liberation, Li Mu could simply be regarded as the family's all-round talent in civil and military affairs, not to mention the patriarch, even the hall master who was both the two halls of ink and jade, I am afraid that no one would object.

It's a pity that the good times didn't last long, and then the members of the Jade Hall scattered in the upper echelons of the family were keenly aware of the impending storm, which was not a force that a small family could fight, and the details of the family's past were not unknown to outsiders, after all, there was no impermeable wall in this world.

This makes it even worse and more fatal. The patriarch and the hall master were so anxious that they finally decided: to run away. After mobilizing all the forces that the family could mobilize, he successfully got the elites of his Sect Hall to leave their homeland and go to Europe and the United States, including the young Li Mu.

After arriving in the United States, Li Mu was simply a fish leaping into the sky and a bird flying in the sky; he was first admitted to the history department of Stanford University as easily as eating and drinking, and then traveled all over the world in the name of archaeological investigation and study abroad.

During this period, he learned and accumulated a huge amount of historical knowledge, cultural background, funeral culture from all over the world, as well as other anecdotes that Li Mu was interested in, and also made friends with many bigwigs in the circle. Of course, his kung fu has not been left behind, and his old profession has not been less, especially when he sees that the level of tomb robbery in other countries in the world is simply a blank slate, he can't help but be happy.

In this way, Dr. Li Mu combines theory with practice, combines Chinese and Western, and constantly confirms what he has learned, and his knowledge accumulation is becoming richer and richer, all-encompassing, and he is called second in individual fields, and no one dares to say that he is the first. In the end, he simply thought hard for a year behind closed doors, and merged his own skills into a unique set of theories. This set of theories is world-class, and it is common to archaeology all over the world, but only he knows it at the moment. In fact, when Dongfang Chen is included in his own disciple, he is regarded as a closed disciple, and when the time comes, he will teach his own skills, so as not to break the incense.

This was actually not Li Mu's original intention, it was really a last resort, and hundreds of members of the Jade Hall had to draw a line with the family after losing the suppression of the Sect Master Hall, and they had become veritable people with foreign surnames.

The elites of Motang who fled abroad back then were basically young men who had not yet started a family, and it didn't take long for them to combine Chinese and Western cultures, marry wives and have children. Looking at his mixed-race children and grandchildren, his heart is mixed, the iron law set by the ancestors to pass on the male but not the female, and the inner and outer is like a tight spell on the head of the grandson monkey, reminding them all the time that they dare not forget their roots, plus these mixed-race children and grandchildren are really not angry, all of them are pampered, and Lao Tzu may be sued by the foreign wife to the court if he moves his son's fingers. These young masters and young ladies are good at clubbing and flirting with each other, so if you want them to practice with such hard work? Don't even think about it.

Li Mu, who was already the master of the Motang Hall, was bleeding every time he thought of this, could the family inheritance be destroyed in his own hands? If this thing really happened, what face did he have to meet the ancestors and ancestors underground? Li Mu had no children and no daughters, and according to the clan rules, he could pass on his art to Yizi, and there was not much time left for him, Li Mu decided that no matter how the heirs were, they must be found among the Chinese.

For this reason, Li Mu, who is already 60 years old, gave up his privileged life in the United States and politely refused countless invitations from prestigious universities, but he was surprised to choose the University of Hong Kong as a tenured honorary professor and doctoral supervisor of the university's Department of History.

He was really afraid to go back to China, a place where he had good memories of his childhood and had hurt him deeply. His purpose in choosing Hong Kong was to keep the whole of China under his nose and to keep his eyes open and look for suitable candidates.

This person finally appeared after Li Mu had waited for eighteen years, and he was Dongfang Chen!

As his successor, Li Mu has carefully inspected Dongfang Chen for a period of time, this son is ordinary-looking, strong and has a kung fu foundation, extremely intelligent, quick thinking, sophisticated and changeable, and most importantly, the decisive and decisive ruthlessness to deal with problems at critical moments, which is the most important characteristic of doing this business. The only drawback is that he is kind-hearted and too upright. It's just a small flaw, and it's just a matter of adjusting it slowly in the future.

There is another reason that even Dongfang Chen himself doesn't know, Li Mu also inadvertently inquired, that is, Dongfang Chen is actually an orphan, and he was adopted from the orphanage by his current parents when he was still an infant, which is simply the good news that someone sent a pillow when he was sleepy.

Because according to the original plan, when it was really time to teach Dongfang Chen the secrets of the family, due to the clan rules, Li Mu originally planned to send someone to secretly kill all of Dongfang Chen's immediate family members, and when he was sad and helpless, he relied on his relationship with him to adopt Dongfang Chen as an adopted son, which could be regarded as a sideshow and barely avoided the clan rules.

Unexpectedly, Dongfang Chen was originally an orphan, and Li Mu had secretly used his connections in the mainland, but he still hadn't found out any information about his biological parents. In this way, you can rest assured, and you don't have to be so troublesome, when the time comes, you just need to send someone to find his adoptive parents, give a slight hint, and give another sum of money, let Dongfang Chen's adoptive parents tell him about this matter in person, and then find a reason to give up custody, and finally come forward in person, isn't that an immediate success?

But Dongfang Chen's kid is too cunning, he is not a fuel-efficient lamp at all, he has come over with many strong winds and waves, and he was almost seen by Dongfang several times, showing his horse's feet, and almost capsized in the gutter. However, the more Dongfang Chen was like this, the more Li Mu liked it.

This son should be the heir of our Li family, and he is simply a natural Motang master.

Thinking of this, Professor Mu couldn't help but smile kindly, turned back to Dongfang Chen and said, "What's the matter?

I know you're most interested in this, but sometimes we're so pitiful when we engage in history, no matter how beautiful the legend is, no matter how powerful the evidence is, and we can't find the ruins, everything is empty. ”

Dongfang Chen raised his head, his lips moved slightly, and he didn't speak in the end.

Professor Mu gently patted Dongfang Chen's shoulder again and said, "Hehe, don't think about those useless things, there is a seminar in Geneva at the end of July, I will also go to see it, and you are ready to prepare." After the seminar, we left for Germany, and we heard that the Hannover Historical Museum in Germany was going to exhibit several stone tools of the Neelandethals, which were the treasures of the museum, and they had not been shown since they were excavated. ”

When Professor Mu said this, he actually wanted Dongfang Chen to go out with him to relax, to distract his energy, not to think about Atlantis all the time, and to visit an old friend by the way, and introduce Dongfang Chen to him.

"Yes, teacher. ”

Dongfang Chen replied listlessly. He was now full of just wanted to go back and get some sleep.

"Hehe, it cost a lot of money, right? Ahaha・・・・・・"

The professor deliberately teased his protégé, and then laughed out loud.
