During the internship period, you can receive the salary of a regular employee, which is the first time in the research institute!

There is always a limit to the luck of a person's life, and once it is used up, it will be less than once, I can't always try my luck and encounter good things every time, and it is most important to do something by myself.

I hadn't graduated yet, my master's thesis hadn't been finalized yet, and soon I was back to the Western Zhou parchment scroll and the secrets behind it.

Later, I finally remembered a certain text in the spell on the horizontal stone, as if I had seen it on the three turtle shells in Boss He's villa, and then I panicked in my heart, could it be that the eighty-one turtle shells were engraved with ancient witchcraft in the Shang and Zhou dynasties?

Spells originated in the matriarchal society of the ancient Paleolithic Age, and people tried to use the mysterious power of nature to influence or control people, things and phenomena through spells, so as to achieve the goal of conquering the natural world.

Legend has it that the leader of the Suiren people, Tizi, is good at spells, she often recites mantras to refer to the heavenly palace and for the first time named the North Star as the Heavenly Pole Star, also known as the North Star! This mythical female leader is a great priest herself, and her name is still widely spread to this day, the so-called Nine Heavens Xuannu who lives outside the Nine Heavens, refers to her! There are many myths and stories about this mysterious priestess in later generations, and it is even said that in the Western Zhou Dynasty, the Queen Mother of the West who lived in Yaochi on the west side of Kunlun Mountain, and the Queen Mother of the Heavenly Court were all her, and it was even said that she had always been in charge of the immortal elixir, and she could live forever if she ate it, and even ascended to the sky! For such absurd myths and legends, I can only express it with a smile and do not make any comments.

By the time of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, spells began to be added to séance rituals, and then gradually developed into witchcraft!

According to legend, the people of Wuxian were good at witchcraft, but in fact their witchcraft was only a technique of making salt from brine clay.

In the Spring and Autumn Period, Taoism began to appear, mainly based on the Taoism of the Book of Changes and Lao Tzu, and the Huang Lao Tao of the Eastern Han Dynasty created the Taiping Sutra in the later period, and Taoism began to prevail!

In the long process of the formation of Taoism, it continued to absorb all kinds of witchcraft, and finally formed a set of completed Taoism, after which Taoism began to be popular in the land of China, and all kinds of fantasy techniques emerged in endlessly, and the spells were carried forward to the extreme!

Later, with the introduction of Buddhism, Buddhism began to prevail in the land of China, which is only a pure religious belief, which is not the same as Taoism, and does not contain the elements of spell-casting practices.

When the ancients recorded events in the history books, their techniques were relatively exaggerated, and the various spells were depicted as divine and unpredictable! As for whether it was true or false, the age was too old to be exquisite! However, it can be seen from the records in the official historical documents that most of the storylines of the deification are fake, and only a few places still have mythological colors, which are difficult to understand!

After going to the underground temple in Henan, the facts are in front of me, and I have to admit that the matter of ancient spells does exist, and it is still quite effective! Moreover, part of the record in the text of the parchment scroll is about the author's own experience of learning witches, and in the end, he achieved a little success, and the subsequent life was also a witchcraft! Unfortunately, the parchment scroll is only a fragment, and the content is only written about entering the Xia Dynasty, and it is not at all the part of the Shang Dynasty, so there is no information about the ancient temple. It is estimated that there should be more than one parchment scroll in the tomb, at least there should be a part of the next scroll!

Boss He is really a businessman, after getting some information from me, he has never appeared again, businessman is such a reality, I can understand! It's a pity that I can't study the spell symbols on those turtle shells anymore, otherwise I will definitely go all out to crack the secret of the ancient spell and find an important research topic for my master's thesis!

Sitting in the dormitory in a daze, I unconsciously used a pen to write the words on the horizontal stone on the paper, and then stared at these words silently in a daze.

After Wen Yuan came back from outside, he walked up to me and looked at the runes, and then hurriedly said: "Uncle, why did you write those runes out again, tear them up quickly, it won't be good if they are obtained by the bad guys!"

I looked up and asked coldly, "Okay, then you have to tell me why you deleted all the rune-related photos in your camera!"

Wen Yuan scratched his head in embarrassment, and said very ashamedly: "I'm sorry uncle, I'm afraid that the bad guys will harm you in order to snatch those runes, it's better to delete this kind of thing as soon as possible, I don't want my uncle to have any accidents!"

I also expected him to say this, and I couldn't ask anything, so I had to say casually: "Oh, discuss it with me next time you make a decision, and don't make your own decisions, otherwise I won't take you with me to archaeology next time!"

Wen Yuan immediately sat next to me with a smile, nodded to me and said, "Okay, good, I will ask my uncle for everything in the future!"

Seeing that Wen Yuan was so polite, it was inconvenient for me to reprimand more, so I had to stop and reach out and tear the white paper on the table.

Wen Yuan was very cautious, he was worried that someone would pick it up and put it back together after it was torn, so he directly took out a lighter and burned the paper to the ground.

It's been half a month since my roommate left, and it is estimated that it won't be long before he comes back to live, and Wen Yuan and Zhang Xianyun's accommodation problem must be solved quickly, otherwise there will be no place to live at that time.

In the hot sunshine, we ran a few intermediaries and found that the rental price in the neighborhood is really not cheap, basically more than 2,000 yuan per month, how can we afford to live in such an expensive house.

Just when we were wondering, suddenly a Mercedes-Benz pulled over in front of us, Boss He rolled down the window and poked his head out and called out to me: "Xiao Feng, it turns out that you are here, I have been looking for you so hard, I just went to the dormitory and didn't see your figure! What are you busy with?"

I replied with some frustration: "Oh, I'm looking for a place to live for my two nephews, and I'm about to graduate soon, so I'll need a place to live then!"

Boss He said with a smile: "Renting a house, hehe, don't rent it yet, let's go and talk to my villa with me, I have a good idea to communicate with you!"

Anyway, there is nothing to do, these houses are estimated to be unaffordable, so I will go to the edge of the place another day to see. So I asked Zhang Xianyun to go back to the dormitory first, took Wenyun into their car, and followed Boss He all the way to his villa in the western suburbs!

Boss He is more straightforward, and after coming to the living room on the second floor, he said straight to the point: "I heard that you went to Henan, and not only successfully rescued those missing archaeological team members, but also solved the spell for them! Xiao Feng, you are really amazing, you can actually solve the spell, why didn't you tell me earlier?"

I smiled dismally, and replied weakly: "I stumbled by mistake, and occasionally saw a spell in the temple, and then I tried to solve the spell, and it turned out to be quite effective! I didn't know anything beforehand, this was all what happened after I went to Henan!"

"Okay!" Boss He nodded with a smile, and then continued: "I followed your prompt last time, and the experts classified the turtle shells into the seats, and then classified them for research, but there is still no progress! Since you have done so well in the matter of the Henan Temple, our company would like to ask you to help us continue to study these oracle bones! How about it, are you interested?"

I frowned and replied, "Ah, I'm afraid this won't work! I'm already working at the Institute of Cultural Relics, so I can't change jobs!"

Boss He said with a smile: "It's okay, you go to your class, I will come here to help when you are free, we will do our best to meet you for all your needs, and we will definitely not delay you to work!"

I looked at him and didn't give an answer immediately! Seeing that I was still hesitating, Boss He immediately smiled and said: "That's the case, a large part of our company's business is engaged in the domestic auction of cultural relics, and the words on many cultural relics cannot be studied, and they can't tell their sources and stories, and their value will be greatly discounted!" If you can find out the meaning and secret of the oracle this time, our company will decide to hire you as our fixed consultant for a long time, and there is nothing to disturb you in normal times, and we will only let you help when you need it! Aren't you looking for a house? As long as you are willing to reach a cooperative relationship with us, our company can arrange a house for you for free, and the surrounding environment ensures that you can be satisfied! You don't have to worry about traffic problems, the company will match you with a special car! Remuneration, as long as you get this batch of oracles, we will officially sign a private contract, the salary is 50,000 yuan per month, and you will get a good remuneration in advance, which is to express our company's integrity to you!"

I feel a little dizzy when I listen to it, 50,000 a month...... , also with cars and houses, how can these people be so rich, tens of thousands of dollars in their mouths are as casual as eating peanuts!

I immediately replied, "I personally have no opinion, but I work in a state unit, and I won't help you do anything illegal, and if you can't do this, I can't do it!"

Boss He laughed and said: "Of course! We are a regular international group company, all business procedures should be complete, absolutely abide by the laws of the country, and we will never do despicable things such as smuggling cultural relics and selling them abroad!"

Thinking about it, they are all such big companies, and many businesses must have already been formalized, and there is no need to do illegal things because of a few cultural relics! But I still asked uneasily: "But I don't understand a little, so I am responsible for helping you translate and translate ancient characters, why do you give me such favorable conditions? Which advantage do you fancy for me?"

Boss He nodded with a smile and replied seriously: "Okay, since you asked so directly, then I might as well tell you why! First of all, if a batch of ordinary ceramics from the Song Dynasty, the market price of the genuine goods is about 100,000 yuan per piece! But if you can find out the origin of this batch of porcelain, or the name of the workshop, or the production family to which the pattern belongs, from the text or from the internal materials and documents of your research institute! As long as you can tell some of the information, the price of these porcelains will immediately soar to 300,000 yuan, or even millions of pieces! You think your working environment is so good, and your ability is also very strong, your mind is also smart, and you specialize in the study of ancient characters, why not spend some expenses for you appropriately? For talents, our company is very concerned and respectful, as long as you can create more profits for the company, you can also get a part of the commission at that time, this is a considerable income!

Boss He's words completely touched me, and the more I listened, the happier I became, and I hurriedly agreed to his request.

Soon I was taken to another large room, where all office items such as computers, printers, desks, microscopes, magnifying glasses, etc., seemed to be prepared by Boss He a long time ago, just waiting for me to nod and agree to work here!

Before I entered the room, Boss He explained to me and said, "But the matter between us, as well as the situation of this batch of cultural relics, you can't reveal it to anyone, understand?"

I frowned and said, "Ah, I still want to use the contents of the parchment scroll and these oracle bones for the design of the paper, I can't write it!"

Boss He hesitated for a moment, but still said cheerfully: "Oh, it doesn't hurt if you write a paper, in case your paper causes a sensation, you can also help me advertise for free to increase the value of these turtle shells." But you can't mention the location of these oracles, I don't want to worry about others stealing all the time, I hope you can keep your promise, otherwise everyone won't be able to talk!"

I nodded and said seriously: "Don't worry, I'm the most trustworthy person! In addition, I need my nephew Wenyuan to be my assistant, so he must be able to enter and exit here!"

Boss He nodded and said: "No problem, this room will be your office in the future! You can't take all the cultural relics and materials out of the villa, from today onwards I will arrange a car and a driver for you, and he will be responsible for picking you up! After you get this batch of oracles, the company will buy a car for you alone, and then you can drive it yourself!"

After saying that, Boss He took us out of the room again, and after returning to the living room, he took out a stack of brand-new hundred-yuan bills from his leather bag, handed it to me and said: "This is a deposit of 30,000 yuan, whether you can find out the secret in the oracle bone inscription or not, these money will be given to you first! If you have a house, I will immediately arrange someone to help you find it, and I will give you an answer in a few days! Do it seriously Xiao Feng, our company will not treat you badly!"

I took the stack of banknotes, and felt that it was so heavy, and my hands were shaking! Wen Yuan immediately opened his backpack and helped me put the money in and zip it up.

Then I began to sign a private agreement with Boss He, in duplicate, and kept one copy after signing together.

Just like Boss He said, there was really a driver driving an Audi A6 to send us to the school, and then the driver also left me a business card, when you need to use the car at any time a phone call, he lives in a hotel near the school, five minutes to come over!

After joining the archaeological team at the institute, although it was very hard and dangerous to go on a business trip, the time to stay in Shanghai was relatively free. We, the team members, are responsible for recuperating at home, and we don't have to go to the unit every day to report to work, and only when we have a task do we collectively purchase equipment and start working.

So in the following time, Wen Yuan and I went to Boss He's villa every day to work, and I have been carefully studying those oracle bones.

But after a few days, I didn't make any progress, these classified turtle shells, the text on it still does not have any related order, it seems that the text of each turtle shell is really separate.

I was in a daze, I was a little embarrassed by this difficult task, and the money didn't seem to be so easy to earn. If you can't solve the story behind this batch of oracles, then I won't be able to enjoy the preferential treatment in the back, and I will definitely terminate the contract directly because of the lack of ability!

I began to search my mind non-stop, looking for the Taoist art that was still left behind, and soon I thought of what Wen Yuan told me, the corpse chaser in Xiangxi's hometown!
