Mountain and Sea Treasures

Chapter 69 Ancient Shu Kingdom, Tsing Yi God

I don't know if it's because I'm too tired, or because I'm not wary of everything here, so I just lay down and fell asleep very quickly.

"Hey, Chang'an, are you in there?"

There was a knock on the door, and I struggled to wake up from my sleep. It took me a while to realize where I was. At this time, the kid outside the door couldn't wait any longer, and the knock on the door was loud. .

"Come here!" I replied loudly, got up from the bed and opened the door: "What's the matter, this early in the morning..."

Before I finished speaking, I stopped myself, because the sky outside didn't look like it was early in the morning.

Sure enough, the boy scolded: "It's already past noon."

I smiled embarrassedly and asked him what he wanted from me.

"It's Lao Yan looking for you, it seems that the thing you brought back has made some progress!" Yazai pushed me and told me to hurry over.

As soon as I heard his words, I wiped my face anxiously and followed him.

Lao Yan was in one of the rows of offices that I was very curious about yesterday. When he saw us push the door in, he first waved to me, then turned his head and sat next to him with a gold-rimmed glasses and kept a goat. Hu, the old gentleman who looks very refined is talking about something.

"Old Yan." Yazai yelled first, and then respectfully yelled at the old gentleman: "Master."

This is Professor Xu?

I sneaked a few glances at him. Yesterday when Yazai talked about his master, his expression was not only respectful but also awe-inspiring. He said that his master knew astronomy from above and geography from below, and was an encyclopedia of 701.Seeing such an elegant person now, let alone whether he is really capable or not, it doesn't look simple just like this.

Professor Xu thanked him, then whispered a few words to Lao Yan, stood up and walked towards the door.

When he reached the door, he turned his head and glanced at Yazai: "You come out too."

Yazai glanced at me and seemed to be very interested in the things here, but in the end he followed Professor Xu away.

"Chang'an, come and sit down." Lao Yan called me, and then I noticed that his eyes were bloodshot, as if he hadn't rested well.

I asked: "I heard from the boy that the ancient mirror of Pisces has made progress?"

Lao Yan didn't answer me immediately, but took out a cigarette, tapped it on the table before lighting it, took two deep puffs and asked me if I was interested in going out again.

"Is there really any progress?" I was a little curious, after all, it was only one night.

He puffed out the smoke ring: "Do you still remember the masked man in green on the mural?"

I nodded. At that time, we guessed that this man in Tsing Yi was the infatuated suitor of the Queen of the Long Night, and also the ruler of a small country in the south. The Pisces Ancient Mirror was jointly researched by him and the Queen of the Long Night.

Lao Yan's gaze was fixed on nothingness, and he said slowly after a long while: "After our research last night, we found that this man in Tsing Yi is very likely to be related to the ancient Shu Kingdom more than 3000 years ago."

"Ancient Shu Kingdom?" My eyes lit up.

I have read information about the ancient Shu Kingdom. After the excavation of the Sanxingdui ruins in [-], this country thousands of years ago caused a sensation. However, according to the research, the Sanxingdui ruins are only a small part of the ancient Shu kingdom. The faults in the civilization of the ancient Shu Kingdom were found to be very severe.

Although the archaeological community has been working hard to find the real remains of the ancient Shu Kingdom, there has been no progress.

Unexpectedly, this time in the remote Western Regions, they found clues about this mysterious ancient country!
Lao Yan nodded, and added: "And we suspect that this man in Tsing Yi is very likely to be the most famous ruler of the ancient Shu Kingdom——Can Cong."

My eyes became hot instantly, and I asked him if he was going to look for the ancient Shu kingdom?
"That's right, the research on the ancient Shu kingdom has not made any progress. We finally got a clue this time, so we will go there naturally." Lao Yan said.

I stared at him and said eagerly, "Take me."

Lao Yan smiled: "I called you here because I planned to bring you, but you have to be mentally prepared. This time it will not be easier than going to the ancient country of Changye."

Thinking of the dangers along the way to the ancient country of Changye, I fell silent, and after a while I raised my head and said with certainty: "Then I have to go!"

"Okay, you go back and wait for the news first. We are still studying the specific matter. I will call you when the research is done and it is determined who will go." Lao Yan nodded in agreement, and then took out a copy from the drawer. The palm-sized walkie-talkie was handed to me: "You hold this, it's convenient to connect."

I quickly picked it up, this is a rare thing, I'm sure there are not many people in the country who have this thing, I didn't expect that I got one today.

Then Lao Yan asked me to go back first, to learn about the situation in Sichuan and prepare something.

I looked at Lao Yan with some embarrassment: "Well, I don't have the money to prepare things."

My father left me a lot of money, but before I came to Yanjing, I found a time to divide the money and send it to the relatives of those comrades who died in the desert. Very limited.

Lao Yan suddenly realized and patted his head: "Look, I've been thinking about research since I came back, and I forgot about this. All your expenses are paid by the department, and you can just go get it later."

I nodded repeatedly, then exchanged a few words with Lao Yan and went back.

What I didn't expect was that as soon as I walked to the bottom of the dormitory, Yazai's voice came from above: "Hey, you are back."

Speaking of which, he excitedly rushed down from the second floor, pulled me aside and said mysteriously: "Did Lao Yan tell you about the ancient Shu Kingdom?"

"You know that too?" I froze.

Yazai danced happily: "I'll go this time too."

"Didn't Lao Yan say that there is no appointment yet?" I asked strangely.

The boy said with a smile, his master Professor Xu was indispensable to go to places like the ancient Shu Kingdom, after all, too much historical knowledge was involved, but it happened that Professor Xu had other archaeological tasks conflicting this time, so he, his apprentice, play.

He said eagerly, "You don't know, this is the first time I haven't gone out with Master."

I finally understood why he was so excited, and he felt that he could show his talents this time.

It is estimated that when he was at Lao Yan just now, he was discussing this matter with Professor Xu.

"Lao Yan asked me to find you and see what I need to prepare." I hurriedly conveyed Lao Yan's intentions to him, since he was going anyway, so we could prepare together.

Yazai let out a hey: "Most things are available in the department, but some things still have to go to the ghost market to find them. Let's go tonight."

"Ghost market?" This is the first time I've heard of this place.

Yazai glanced at me, as if wondering why I didn't even know this, but seeing his appearance, I was more excited.

Sure enough, the next second, he put his arms around my shoulders, and said bluntly that he would take me to see tonight!

I had nothing to do in the afternoon, so I went to the archives room again, searched inside, and sure enough, I found a secret case about the ancient Shu Kingdom.

Compared with the outside rumors, the inside is more detailed, but the details are also very limited. It seems that the progress of research is indeed very little.

But it's enough for me, at least it's better than knowing nothing.

This stay was another afternoon, and I reluctantly left the archives room thinking of the promise I had made with Yazai. I didn't expect to see Professor Xu, whom I had just met in the morning, walk in from the door as soon as I went out.

"Professor Xu." I hurriedly greeted him respectfully.

He glanced at me and smiled gently: "You are the young man brought back by Lao Yan, right? I saw you this morning."

I smiled and nodded, not knowing what to say.

Professor Xu probably saw my embarrassment, and smiled more kindly: "I heard Lao Yan talk about you, and I will trouble you to take care of me when I go out this time."

"Definitely." I nodded repeatedly, and then felt that my words were wrong, so I quickly changed my words: "Actually, I need his care."

"Hehe, if that kid doesn't cause trouble for me." Professor Xu waved his hand: "Okay, when I just came here, I saw the boy looking for you in your dormitory, so go quickly."

I hurriedly responded and left in a hurry.

Sure enough, as soon as I arrived downstairs in the dormitory, I saw Yazai wandering there, as soon as he saw me, he rushed up: "Where did you go?"

"Archive room." I replied, and then I took out the walkie-talkie that Old Cigarette gave me from my pocket as if remembering something: "I have this now, how do you use it?"

After Yazai taught me patiently, the two of us went out and got into the car. We first found a place to eat something casually, and then ran directly to the ghost market he talked about.
