Antique Street, Spotlight Pavilion.

Professor Lin closes at 8 p.m. every night.

He never cared if he was in business or not, and he opened such a shop purely for his own preferences.

Before the age of 40, he worked in a museum in the capital, and his position was not low, and it was also beautiful.

But later, for unknown reasons, he resigned and disappeared for a while, and it was only in recent years that he returned to his hometown where he was born and raised and opened such an antique shop.

His shop opens at 10 a.m. and closes at 8 p.m., and is always on time, without exception.

Compared with other counterparts on this street, it seems quite Buddhist.

"I don't know if my body can support me until the day I unlock the secret?"

In the quiet room, he sat alone on a straw futon, looking at the two-foot-square painting on the wall, "The Immortality of the White Crane".

Sighing, reminiscing.

He had never shown this painting to outsiders before today.

And he himself has been watching it for 20 years.

It was also because he had studied by himself for too many years and failed to produce results, coupled with the fact that his health was getting worse and worse, he was afraid that he would not be able to support it, so he let Song Yuchen and Zheng Wenbing take a look today.

Speaking of this painting, it was not bought or given by anyone.

It was taken out of the body of a skeleton 20 years ago during an archaeological operation.

Professor Lam still remembers that scene.

Even the countless nights when I woke up from my dreams were because of that scene.

Twenty years ago, he was 45 years old.

Because I received news one day, it was said that a certain village in Central South Province had caused a landslide due to heavy rains for several days, and a historic site had appeared.

After receiving this news, Lin Gaohan immediately rushed over with the people who led the team.

After arriving at that place, the rain continued to pour down.

Wearing raincoats and umbrellas, they rescued monuments that had been buried in the soil for an unknown number of years in the mudslide.

That time, they had a lot to gain.

A lot of the things I got were from the Northern and Southern Dynasties.

At that time, the team leader felt that there might be a huge group of ancient tombs in that place.

Therefore, after rescuing those ancient monuments that showed their heads, he immediately made a decision and divided his men into four groups to disperse and investigate.

Professor Lam was on a team with a young assistant, Xiao Li.

At that time, the two of them made a big circle, went around the back of the mountain village, and carried out a comprehensive exploration.

In fact, the shape of that mountain village, when viewed from a height, looks like a giant turtle all along.

The location of the village is on the back of the turtle, and the mountain where the landslide is the head of the giant tortoise raised.

Lin Gaohan and his assistant Xiao Li surveyed for three days in a row, and during the three days, it rained heavily every day, and the dense fog lingered in the mountains, and the visual distance was very limited.

But on the morning of the fourth day, where Lin Gaohan and the others were inspecting, the mountain slid down more than half as if someone had cut it.

It was also at this time that a decaying coffin flew out of the center of the mountain.

The coffin slid down the hill and fell into a mud puddle.

"It's a coffin, Professor Lin. Assistant Xiao Li shouted.

Of course, Lin Gaohan also saw it, and immediately beckoned: "Use a rope, drag the coffin out first, don't get too close to the mountain, beware of another landslide." ”

"Yes. ”

The assistant Xiao Li quickly took out a Mawang nail, knocked it into one end of the coffin, then tied the rope, and dragged the coffin out of the mud pit with Lin Gaohan and Lin Gaohan.

For safety, they dragged the coffin a little farther away.

"Professor Lin, shall we tell the team leader about them first, or take a look first?" asked the assistant Xiao Li excitedly.

Young people who have just joined archaeology are excited every time they have a harvest. Lin Gaohan understood very well and said with a smile: "Let's take a look first, this coffin is very ordinary, maybe it was only a few decades ago." ”

"Good. ”

The coffin has decayed, and it is indeed not a high-standard production.

The pouring rain in the sky continued.

Xiao Li picked up a steel drill and pried the coffin lid open.

At that time, the sky was gray.

But just when Xiao Li opened the lid of the coffin, a burst of red light erupted from the coffin.

The light pierced people's eyes.

Lin Gaohan was shocked, he had been in the industry for many years, and he had never seen such a strange situation.

The dazzling red light only lit up for two or three seconds before disappearing.

Then, both Lin Gaohan and Xiao Li rushed to the mouth of the coffin excitedly and curiously and looked inside.

I saw that there was a white skeleton inside, covered with a black tattered cloth.

The red light came from under the cloth.

Assistant Xiao Li couldn't help but want to reach out and lift the rag.

"Be careful, let me come. Lin Gaohan called out to him in time.

The young man is not experienced enough, and he is not very reassured.

"Oh. Xiao Li retracted his hand apologetically, his eyes full of curiosity. Staring at the inside of the coffin without blinking.

Lin Gaohan stretched out his hand, carefully twisted a corner of the rag, and then lifted it little by little.

When it was halfway open, the red light on the corpse's body flashed again, and the light pierced their eyes again.

Then, in a trance, they seemed to see a brilliant flam, like a dragon, flying out of this coffin, piercing into the sky, and disappearing in a blink of an eye.

Lin Gaohan was so surprised that he couldn't stop talking.

Suddenly, the remaining rags were completely uncovered, but a white crane was vaguely seen descending from the sky, flapping its wings, and landing in a corner of the coffin.

The white crane pulls its neck and makes a long buzz.

Lin Gaohan and Xiao Li were stunned.

But in the blink of an eye, the white crane also disappeared.

All that was left was a picture of the white bones in the corner of the coffin.

And where the red light flew away just now, there was only a rotten scabbard left.

"Professor Lin, this ...... What's going on?" Xiao Li seemed to be refreshed and shocked all cognitions.

"Scabbard?"

Lin Gaohan picked up the scabbard, but as soon as he picked it up, it broke—the degree of decay was too high.

He went back to pick up the picture in the corner.

Strangely, this picture can be protected from rainwater, and although it looks dirty and broken, it is still like it existed before.

The picture was spread out, and in the rainstorm, I saw the five words "White Crane Immortal Picture" soaring over it.

In the painting, there is an ethereal red-crowned crane dancing and singing.

Lin ...... Professor Lam...... This ......" Xiao Li was so excited that he couldn't speak, and his whole body trembled.

"Immortal Diagram, White Crane Immortal Diagram, Immortal Immortality, Could it be that this Diagram has the secret of immortality?" Lin Gaohan also felt that his mouth and tongue were dry.

Such a wonderful scene can't help but make people think about it.

"Professor Lin, this is a miracle, this is definitely a miracle, no, it should be said to be a miracle, yes, it is a miracle. We had to tell the team leader that this was a major discovery and a discovery that could shock the world. Xiao Li shouted excitedly, turned around and was about to run towards the station.

I'm going to tell the good news.

Lin Gaohan was stunned, muttering "immortality" and "immortality" in his mouth.

Suddenly, somehow, an evil thought suddenly sprung up, he picked up a sharp stone from the ground and smashed it towards the back of Xiao Li's head.
