Tomb Raiders I Can Hear Antique Talk

Chapter 62 Accidentally Joining the Archaeological Team

Xiao Ran couldn't remember at all when, where, and why he would write such nonsense.He only remembered that in the fourth underground floor of the Kwantung Army in Yerengou, in the secret room locked with the giant three-eyed tower belly, when he saw the handwritten book with strange characters, he felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity, but And that's all.

He never imagined that when he was young, he had personally written such a thing that made people uncomfortable just by looking at it.

He assumed in his heart that maybe this kind of writing is also an ancient thing, a long-lost writing, and used this as an entry point to listen carefully, but in the end there was no practical result except brain pain.

He went to ask Yajiu Kuo and Yin Yang Jing for their opinions, and the responses they got were "I haven't seen it" and "It looks a bit evil".

Is not this nonsensical?Show it to Aunt Wang, and she will say the same thing, return the artifact...

The information given by the second uncle was too explosive. He had just thought of finding his place and responsibility in this world, but he did not expect to become the successor of the heavenly hair Qiu Zhonglang.But considering the recent encounters and his own changes, he couldn't question what his second uncle said.

Xiao Ran decided not to tell Hu Bayi and the others the news, and wait until the time is right.

These few days when Xiao Ran had nothing to do, he went to drink and chat with Hu Bayi, Fatty Wang, and Da Jinya, and his life was relaxed and happy.The second uncle is still a dragon who never sees the end. I don't know what he is busy with, but he just comes back occasionally.

A few days later, there was finally news from Dajinya that he had made an appointment with Professor Chen of the archaeological team, so he took the three of them to Professor Chen's office.

When Da Jinya brought a few people in, Professor Chen was discussing something with his assistant.His office is very simple, only a large bookcase full of books, a desk, a few chairs and an old sofa.

"Professor Chen! The Feng Shui expert I told you is here!"

As soon as Da Jinya entered the room, he greeted him warmly. Professor Chen nodded friendly, but the assistant next to him frowned, and seemed a little dissatisfied with Da Jinya's sudden arrival.

The fat man murmured into Hu Bayi's ear: "This old professor seems to be almost seventy, right? Can this small body get into the desert?"

It is true that Professor Chen's hair is gray and a little bald.The whole person looked dry and thin, feeling that a gust of wind and sand could wrap him up and blow him away.

Hu Ba nodded, and said, "There's also that old nine next to him, with a face full of bitterness and hatred. Intellectuals like this are usually stubborn, stubborn and love to cause trouble..."

Xiao Ran looked at the assistant next to the professor, it should be Hao Aiguo, with disheveled chicken coop hair, two big glasses with thick wine bottle bottoms, paired with splayed eyebrows and sunken cheeks, he was born with a resentful face .

He was also wearing a gray Chinese tunic suit and two blue cotton sleeves. He looked like a character from an old movie.Such an image of a role is usually synonymous with rigidity and inhumanity, but it also means rigor and assiduity in academic research.

Sure enough, before Professor Chen could speak, Hao Aiguo spoke first.

"Everyone, I have received too many people recently, so I will cut to the chase. You are all here to join the archaeological team, so naturally you already know the requirements of the archaeological team. This time we are breaking the rules to recruit professionals from the society. What we need is Those who have experience in desert survival and exploration, or they must understand Xingxiu Fengshui. If you don’t have the above conditions, then I can only invite you to go back, no matter who introduced it, it’s useless.”

At the end of his speech, he glanced at the big gold tooth.

These words made the scene a little awkward for a while, Hu Bayi kept silent, the fat man rolled his eyes and stopped looking at Hao Aiguo, but Da Jinya was still smiling, it seems that this is not the first time he has been with Hao Aiguo Hao Aiguo made a deal.

Seeing this, Professor Chen quickly got up and came over to invite everyone to sit down.After all, he and Da Jinya and his son also had some knowledge exchanges on antiques, so he didn't want to ruin their friendship.

But when he saw Xiao Ran, he suddenly froze, adjusted his glasses, held Xiao Ran's hand and said in surprise, "Xiao Ran? Are you Xiao Ran? Xiao Changfeng's son?"

Suddenly, some images flashed in Xiao Ran's mind like a movie film version. A professor Chen who was nearly fifty years old stood in front of him, looking so tall, stroking his head with a smile, and calling him "Xiao Ran".

Xiao Ran subconsciously said: "Chen...Grandpa Chen..."

Professor Chen quickly pulled him to sit down and called the others to sit down.Da Jinya, Hu Bayi, and Wang Kaixuan were full of curiosity, wondering how they met.

Professor Chen pointed to Xiao Ran and said to everyone: "His father, Xiao Changfeng, is my best student, and his achievements in archaeological research in Western Xinjiang have surpassed mine. It's a pity that God is jealous of talents. His parents went to Western Xinjiang for inspection a few years ago. I disappeared by accident. Later I heard that some relics were recovered, but I still don’t want to believe that Changfeng is gone..."

Professor Chen's eye circles were slightly red, and his voice trembled a little.

He held Xiao Ran's hand and continued: "I've been running around in other places for the past two years, and I only returned to Beijing in the last few months. How are you recently?"

Although Xiao Ran didn't fully remember the things related to Professor Chen, he could feel the familiar intimacy and said, "I'm sorry to miss you. Normally, I should visit you on behalf of my parents. I had a car accident, and I just recovered recently, and I can’t remember some things from the past.”

Professor Chen sighed about what happened to Xiao Ran, and said "poor child" as if Xiao Ran was still a child.

Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan understood what they heard, and looked at Da Jinya with doubts on their faces, wondering why he didn't know that Professor Chen and Xiao Ran still had such a relationship.

Da Jinya hurriedly explained: "My dad and I mainly chatted with Professor Chen about common knowledge about antiques, and it's not easy to inquire about Professor Chen's personal communication. Besides, it was through the incident last time that Xiao Ran and I became close friends. , I used to be a nodding acquaintance in the same industry, how could I know such things..."

After Professor Chen finished feeling, he asked Xiao Ran, "Do you also want to join the archaeological team when you come this time?"

Xiao Ran has been thinking for the past few days whether he has a suitable reason to join the archaeological team, but he still can't find a way.Hu Bayi is the only one who understands Tianxing Fengshui, while Fatty has a ghostly jade pendant related to the Queen Jingjue, and he is good at marksmanship.

After much deliberation, he decided to use his ability to recognize sounds and the blessings of those artifacts to say that he is an expert in cultural relics, and he can also provide some personal protection, so that Da Jinya can be a guarantee.

Now, he felt that he could play the emotional card, so he said: "I just wanted to retrace the path my parents walked in the past, and pay homage to them by the way. I didn't expect that this archaeological team was organized by Grandpa Chen...Professor Chen , then I have to fulfill my duty as a student for my father. I have also done some research on the identification of cultural relics, as long as you need it, I will definitely provide you with some protection and help within my ability."

Hao Aiguo, who insisted on principle, wanted to say something, but was stopped by Professor Chen.

Professor Chen nodded firmly: "If you want, I can recommend you to join. It's a pity that you have been smart since you were a child. If you didn't have mental illness, you should not be inferior to your father..."

Hu Bayi, Wang Kaixuan, and Da Jinya stared at each other. Now that Xiao Ran was the first to join the archaeological team, and Xiao Ran had a mental illness since childhood, they no longer knew which one to be surprised about first.
