The next day at noon.

Su Bai took a bus to the door of an old community.

Looking up at this old neighborhood that was at least a few decades old, he couldn't help but wonder if that antiquarian really lived here.

In the morning, considering his lack of professional knowledge, he asked Professor Zhang, who was still researching archaeology in Lixing Village, for help, and Professor Zhang gave him the contact address of the relevant expert.

said that he had known an old friend for more than ten years, and he could ask him for help if he had similar problems.

So after contacting, Su Bai decided to pay a solemn visit, and he also carried a little cigarette and alcohol and other small gifts in his hand to show his gratitude.

He followed the address and came to the door of Room 203 in Building 3 and rang the doorbell.

Soon, footsteps could be heard inside.

The door was opened by a gentle young woman in her early thirties, who seemed to be stunned for a moment when she saw him outside the house, and her face was puzzled.

"You are?"

"Hello sister, my name is Su Bai, I am the person who contacted Dean Zhu on the phone in the morning, and I came this time because I want to ask Dean Zhu for some problems in the old days......"

"Oh, Dad mentioned it to me just now, come in."

The young woman gave him a warm welcome, and when she entered the house, she made him a cup of hot tea with a fragrant fragrance.

"I'm sorry to let you sit down for a while, my dad is still in the study discussing some work matters with my husband."

She whispered to a room behind her with a closed door.

"Well, it's fine."

Su Bai nodded and took a sip of tea, which was slightly sweet.

In his ears, he vaguely heard the voice coming from the study, and his expression was a little subtle.

The discussion was unexpectedly intense, and even if the sound insulation was good, with his excellent five senses, he could hear the man's loud argument coming from inside.

"Dad, what age is it now......

"Why are you still so pedantic......"

"What should I do if I don't have money in this day and age......"

Su Bai noticed the young woman's somewhat embarrassed look, and he didn't want to listen carefully, so he looked at his nose and nose and heart, and drank his tea silently.

A few minutes later, the door of the study opened, and a man in a suit in his thirties wearing glasses walked out angrily, and the young woman hurriedly greeted him.

The man straightened his loose tie, still a little angry: "Hurry up and persuade Dad, don't keep sticking to the old routine!" What's the use of being famous, can you eat it if you don't exchange it for money? ”

"Wait, there are guests at home now......" The young woman awkwardly pointed in the direction of Su Bai on the sofa.

The man's eyes glanced at it and noticed that there was another person in the room, so he restrained his anger slightly, but he still didn't have a good face, and after hesitating for a while, he still said: "Forget it, I'll talk about this later, I'll go to the company first, and there are still many important things waiting for me to deal with." ”

The man picked up the briefcase on the table and walked out of the room quickly, and when he closed the door, he made a loud noise, obviously still dissatisfied.

The young woman couldn't help but sigh.

At this time, Dean Zhu's calm voice came from the study: "It's Xiao Su, come in, let's talk about your problem." ”

"Good!"

Su Bai, who was already a little restless, immediately got up and walked in.

The study room is very clean and tidy, and the back row of bookshelves is full of books, most of which are books about the old era, and many of them have bookmarks on them, which are obviously often read rather than just furnished.

Dean Zhu was sitting at the desk inside, with gray hair and a pair of reading glasses on the bridge of his nose, looking down at an atlas.

"Hello Dean Zhu!" Su Bai greeted politely.

"You're welcome, sit down." Dean Zhu glanced up at him, stretched out his hand to beckon him to sit down, and then smiled kindly, "I'm really sorry, there was a lot of trouble in family matters, and I made you laugh just now." ”

"No, no, every family has its own difficulties, I can understand it."

Dean Zhu sighed: "Is it difficult...... It may be true that my old man is a little pedantic, but this bottom line still can't be moved. Nowadays, young people understand that they are eager to make money, but they still have to maintain a basic sense of reverence for those ghosts and gods......"

"Like my son-in-law, although he is talented and has founded a company, he has no taboos in this regard, and he wants to borrow my name to attract investment, I am afraid that something ......will happen to him sooner or later."

Su Bai nodded, hesitating slightly: "Dean, do you also believe that there are ghosts and gods in this world?" ”

"Hehe, you don't need to say this sentence, you also know, since you have studied the culture of the old times, you should know some strange things in it. And I don't just believe it, I've seen ghosts with my own eyes. Dean Zhu smiled, with a look of nostalgia on his face.

"But that's all when I was younger. There was a lot of uproar, several people died, and I was the one who survived, and I've been in awe ever since. ”

"But there is no need to say more about these bad things, speaking of which, the 'Ninghe City City God's Temple' you asked about should also be a temple of ghosts and gods in the old era." He changed his words and talked about Su Bai's intention today.

As he spoke, he handed over the atlas in his hand.

"Ninghe City, according to the data, is the name of a prefecture-level city that belongs to the old era, and it belongs to a third-tier small city."

"Normally, I wouldn't be impressed. But you're lucky, because after thousands of years of time, the original Ninghe City has evolved into the current Nanjiang City. ”

He smiled and gestured to the ground beneath his feet.

"Right under our feet!"

Su Bai was stunned when he heard this, and was immediately surprised.

It's really a no-brainer.

I took it and took a look, and after last night's exquisite study, I quickly recognized that this was the current map of Nanjiang City.

"The study of geological changes in the old era has always been a hot topic in the archaeological community now, and as a local, I am of course particularly interested in Nanjiang City, so I have collected materials for a long time."

Although Dean Zhu is very old, when he talks about these things, his eyes seem to be shining, and the wrinkles on his face are a little less, and he looks very happy.

It was something he had truly loved all his life.

"It's just that with the movement of the ground plates that have been unknown for thousands of years, the orientation has shifted to a certain extent, which has also caused us a lot of trouble when researching the evidence."

"Some mountains have turned into plains, some farmland has become rivers, and the list goes on ......"

Su Bai listened while looking down at the album carefully.

The content is very detailed, basically to the point that every street and every building has a corresponding mark.

Dean Zhu said, and spread out another map the size of half a table.

"This is a drawing of the old era, but it is all marked according to the remains that have been excavated so far."

"I checked the known information about the City God Temple you said, in the myths and legends of the old era, it should be the Yin God Mansion in charge of the land of a mansion, the layout is like a yamen, it will not be in the center, it is generally sitting in the north and facing south, and it also occupies a high point......"
