Su Bai was stunned, and silently took a yellow envelope that had been opened but repacked from his mentor.

Inside are some photos that still smell of ink.

He sat down at the table across from his mentor, looking at the photographs with some curiosity.

In the top photo, you can clearly see some experts in professional blue and white archaeological protective suits bending over some of the objects buried in the sand in the muddy yellow sand.

Judging from the exposed part, the sunlight reflects a dull metallic sheen, perhaps some mechanical object from the ancient world.

The mentor on the other side said casually: "That's a friend of mine, who works in the archaeological team, and recently discovered a large old world ruins, and some of the objects in it may have some value. Of course, this has nothing to do with us, but the important thing is the two special stone tablets found in this ruin. ”

"The stele?"

Su Bai's gaze quickly fell on the second photo.

Sure enough, you can see a stone tablet on the display stand, which has been somewhat weathered and blurred, and there are still some cracks and mud left after careful cleaning.

But some of the above characters can already be roughly distinguished.

And in the next moment, Su Bai's pupils shrank suddenly-

"Ghost Gate ......"?!

"What's wrong?" The mentor noticed his strangeness.

"Uh...... It's nothing, I just think that the things in this ancient tomb are more mysterious and beautiful than I imagined......" Su Baimian made an excuse without changing his face, pretending to be surprised, and gently rubbed the photo between his fingers, and wrote it down in his heart.

Professor Zhang smiled, leaned back on the chair, looked at the morning sun outside the window, and sighed with emotion: "Yes, the mystery of the old era is something that many people dream of, and the youth and hard work of several generations of our predecessors have been put on it, just to be able to see the prosperity and splendid scene of the old era again." ”

Su Bai smiled and didn't speak.

If you hand over all the knowledge in your memory without reservation, I am afraid that you will find that the old times are not at all the paradise and beautiful places you imagined.

Professor Zhang paused suddenly, looked back at Su Bai, and seemed to mean something: "You are very talented, one of the most powerful students I have ever seen, even more powerful than my previous students." If you continue to study, you will definitely achieve far more than me, and you will be able to discover those deeper and more interesting things in the old times! ”

Su Bai was stunned for a moment, feeling that this teacher had something to say.

"Mentor, what kind of secrets do you think there will be in the old days?"

"Secret?" Professor Zhang sighed, "If you can tell it, it's not a secret." But...... I can tell you a word as a teacher. ”

After a pause, his tone became much more solemn: "You can learn more about the ordinary culture of the old era, but try not to get in touch with some occult things, especially if there is any suspicious and strange phenomenon in the process of research, stop immediately!" ”

When he said the last sentence, his tone was much more serious, as if he was warning, making Su Bai, who had not taken it to heart, a little more serious.

He hesitated for a moment: "Teacher, do you believe that there are ghosts in this world?" ”

"Ghosts?"

Professor Zhang's eyes shook slightly, nodded and shook his head: "Maybe there is, but remember that these are not things that we ordinary people should understand." ”

When he said this, his mobile phone rang, he clicked on the screen and glanced at it, his face changed slightly: "I'm sorry to have an impromptu meeting, you can go back first today." ”

Before walking out of the door, Professor Zhang also deliberately stopped and solemnly instructed: "Remember what I just said, so that we can go further and safer in the study of old culture and culture." ”

The expression was so serious that Su Bai still remembered it long after he left the office.

"Could it be that Professor Zhang has encountered something before that makes him say that?"

Suspicious, he put the materials in his hand back on the professor's desk, and inadvertently glanced out the window, but unexpectedly saw the hurried back of Professor Zhang, who had just left, outside the first floor.

and several mysterious men in black uniforms standing beside him.

It seems to be talking about something.

It's just that Su Bai doesn't understand lip language and can't understand what they are saying.

Soon, however, a commercial vehicle stopped in front of the teaching building, and Professor Zhang got into the car accompanied by several people.

"It doesn't look like an ordinary meeting...... "Su Bai muttered to himself.

At this moment, one of them seemed to sense something, glanced back, and happened to meet Su Bai's gaze at the upstairs window.

A woman.

The face is very white and beautiful.

This was the general impression he had left in his mind.

He pretended to look away casually, and when he looked back a moment later, the car had already driven away......

"It should ...... It's none of my business. ”

Su Bai frowned.

He left the teaching building and returned to his dormitory, turned on the computer, and first found the information on the encyclopedia to search for the professor.

Professor Zhang's fame is well-known in the old-time cultural circles of the whole Union, and it is also well documented in the encyclopedia materials, including academic qualifications and a large number of research awards.

can have such a teacher to guide behind closed doors, if it continues, Su Bai has basically determined a bright future in this circle.

But in this enviable information, the sharp-eyed Su Bai quickly found some strange places.

"Teacher's students...... Seems a little weird? ”

There are six or seven disciples who are listed above and have names and surnames.

One of them changed to business after graduation and started a company for the imitation of cultural relics, and he is still well-known in the circle, but his health is not very good, and he is often accompanied by a private doctor.

The second student is a very talented rookie who is very favored by the seniors in the circle, but unexpectedly, when he was on a business trip to do archaeological research, he encountered an unexpected landslide and has not found his body so far.

The third student is a girl, although she is also talented and highly anticipated, but when she was about to graduate, she suddenly went crazy and went insane overnight, and everyone said that a ghost was going to eat her, and even kept hurting herself, and finally had to be put in a mental hospital.

……

To sum up, in fact, Professor Zhang has been teaching for nearly 30 years and has led countless students.

But the strange thing is, and perhaps the default common sense in this circle, - the more talented the student, the greater the probability of accidents!

The more obsessively one obsessively explores the mysteries of the old era, the more it seems to provoke something "unfortunate......

Su Bai suddenly understood the concern of Professor Zhang's words.

The other party is afraid that he will also follow the old path of those predecessors!

The old times were too mysterious, and the gods and ghosts were indeed things that ordinary people like them could not provoke.

Su Bai sighed lightly, and had a little more respect for this teacher, but he was also a little more curious.

"What kind of things did you encounter that would lead to such misfortune......

Was it really a taboo in the culture of the old days?
