Someone knocked on the door. There was no door in Kuchan Temple, so he knocked on the wall. In fact, the person outside the door had already seen Chu Xiang sitting on the steps.
"Please come in." Chu Xiang said.
The visitor is an acquaintance from Tang Zhiming.
"Mr. Chu, long time see." Tang Zhiming cupped his hands and said.
"Long time see." Chu Xiang said. To these senior government officials, you should be more polite when you should be polite, otherwise you will get into trouble if you do something stupid.
"It's freezing cold, why don't we talk in the car?" Tang Zhiming said.
"Too comfortable can easily make people slack off," Chu Xiang said.
"That's right." Tang Zhiming smiled.
Tang Zhiming is not fat, unlike those pot-bellied officials. On the contrary, he looks a bit stout. He doesn't wear many clothes. He seems to be in good health and walks steadily. He doesn't look like an old man in his sixties or seventies.
Chu Xiang reached out and swept away the snow on the steps. Tang Zhiming didn't show any pretense and sat down directly on the steps.
"Mr. Chu's strategizing and decisive victory makes me, an old man, very envious." Tang Zhiming said, he was wearing a high hat.
As high-ranking government officials, they are responsible for the life and death of countless people. They compete with others for power and profit every day. They are the masters of many calculations and plots. Of course, Chu Xiang will not believe such compliments: "Mr. Tang is the real one." The conversation and laughter make you respectable."
"Mr. Chu's great talent is really wasted if he does not use it to benefit the people."
"Mr. Tang is joking, how dare the pearl of rice shine?"
"In today's world, although there are many masters, who can be as step-by-step as Mr. Chu and do such a big thing? Being humble is a good thing, but belittling oneself makes people feel a bit fake." Tang Zhiming said, as if he must let Chu The same compliment he received.
"I don't have this ability." Chu Xiang said.
"I know very well what Mr. Chu has been going through during this period. Throughout the ages, no one has been able to achieve great things without relying on external forces, let alone leave a name in history. People's energy is limited. If they are always entangled in trivial things, how can they have time to do it? Do really big things, and we can solve your troubles for you, so you can concentrate on what you want and not be troubled by trivial matters." Tang Zhiming said, finally getting to the point.
"The conditions are very tempting. It's great to be free without having to worry about trivial matters, but there is no free lunch in the world, right?" Chu Xiang said.
"Lunch is very cheap, as long as you take us with you when you do what you want to do." Tang Zhiming said.
Chu Xiang shook his head and said: "Some things, once interests are involved, are no longer pure and difficult to do well."
Tang Zhiming nodded. He understood this very well: "We have a simpler plan. Just announce your ownership when needed."
Declare belonging, to whom? Of course it is them. Chu Xiang smiled and said: "The future is unpredictable. Who can guarantee your purity? If you are indeed pure, then what's the problem."
"With your words, I feel relieved. I believe that one day we will let you agree. I look forward to the day when we work together in the future." Tang Zhiming said with a smile.
"I'm looking forward to it too," Chu Xiang said.
"Then I won't disturb you and let you have less trivial matters." Tang Zhiming said, standing up and holding his hands in front of him as a courtesy.
"Please." Chu Xiang stood up and returned the greeting.
Tang Zhiming left. Chu Xiang took out his mobile phone and started browsing various information on the Internet. There must be signs before big events. Tang Zhiming's tone was very confident. Chu Xiang wanted to find out this sign.
Holding the mobile phone in his left hand, he was browsing information on the Internet. With his right hand, he continued to breathe in, and the popsicles were formed one after another and lined up in a row beside him. Sixty-five popsicles gathered in the palm of his hand. Chu Xiang still didn't find any special signs. However, while browsing the web, Chu Xiang found that the situation in Qingcheng was recorded. The video was very clear and could be clearly seen. Seeing clearly Xiang's face bursting into tears, the video was posted on the headlines of the web, with millions of views and countless comments.
Chu Xiang was so embarrassed that he flew into a rage. He wanted to cut the person who recorded the video into pieces. With one palm shot, the gang energy surged and all the snow in the yard disappeared. Several broken houses were almost knocked down.
The room shook, but the crazy monk was still lying up, snoring as before.
Feeling depressed and unable to wait for Zhang Zhen, Chu Xiang carefully browsed the military government's website to see if there were any interesting places to visit. When such a big embarrassment happens, you have to leave crowded places and hide in the wilderness to avoid being pointed at and laughed at.
After browsing the website for a while, Chu Xiang discovered that the military government was organizing several scientific expedition teams, some to Siberia, some to Southeast Asia, some to the northwest, and some to Nansha. There were all kinds of scientific expedition teams, and some clearly stated that the scientific expedition The purpose is only vaguely described in a few sentences.
I had been to Siberia before, but Southeast Asia was not interesting because of the language barrier. The Nansha Islands were just a sea, and Chu Xiang had a lot of fun in the water. Chu Xiang thought about it and clicked on recruiting for the scientific expedition team in the northwest.
The scientific expedition team has scientists organized by the government and recruits escorts for the scientific expedition team. The recruitment of this northwest scientific expedition team is divided into three teams, one goes to the Taklima Desert, one goes to Lop Nur, and one goes to the Kunlun Mountains. The mysterious Lop Nur, the endlessly imaginative Kunlun Mountains, and the vast desert where countless civilizations are buried. Chu Xiang struggled for a long time and decided to sign up for the scientific expedition team in Lop Nur.
The mysterious Lop Nur, the legend of the Pisces Jade Pendant, the mystery of Peng Jiamu's disappearance, and what kind of secrets are hidden. These are the things that Chu Xiang has been interested in since he was in junior high school. Go there and go to the whirlpool that is just far away from Wucheng to let yourself know. Disappear in other people's mouths and ears, temporarily avoiding the wind and waves that roll back.
There was no need to verify the identity. Soon Chu Xiang received the information and the registration was successful, allowing Chu Xiang to gather and report in Anxi before April 25th.
In fact, Chu Xiangyuan walked outside the Great Wall not because he was afraid of being laughed at, but because he wanted to leave the center of the whirlpool. Tang Zhiming was so confident that it was obvious that the matter was not small. If he was involved, he would be in big trouble. In addition, those old immortals are determined to kill him. With the current situation, the younger generation of top masters are just around the corner. Those old immortals will definitely set off a wave of sniping, leave Wucheng, and disappear from their sight until the situation changes. Coming back again is the best choice for Chu Xiang.
With only four days left before the 25th, Chu Xiang sent a message to Song Xiaoting, went to the city to buy a passable knife, and set off for Anxi.
The heavy snow kept falling, thousands of miles of ice covered, thousands of miles of snow drifting, and the snow on the road became thicker and thicker. It was already the evening of the 24th when Chu Xiang arrived in Anxi.
The assembly point of the scientific expedition team was in Anxi City. There was a sign of Anxi Archaeological Research Institute hanging on the door. After entering the door, the staff at the reception desk asked Chu Xiang for his registered phone number, confirmed his registration status, and took Chu Xiang to a In the reception hall.
Chu Xiang was surprised that the reception staff did not verify his true identity. They only confirmed Chu Xiang's registration number and did not ask Chu Xiang to verify his fingerprints. This was too casual for a rigorous scientific expedition team. .
When they arrived at the reception hall, the staff asked Chu Xiang to wait and left.
After a while, a lean man came in, wearing a military coat and several sweaters in a mess. His face was covered with stubble, his hair was messy, but his eyes were bright. He looked at Chu Xiang. He stretched out his thick-knuckled palm and said, "Hello."
Chu Xiang stood up and shook hands with the lean man: "Hello."
No matter how hard the lean man exerted his strength, his palms were like iron hoops. Seeing that Chu Xiang had no reaction, the veins on the back of the lean man's hands were like horned dragons, and the joints creaked.
Chu Xiang's expression remained unchanged. The lean man stopped his strength and nodded: "My name is Tao Gongchi, the leader of the scientific expedition team."
"Tang Long, nice to meet you." Chu Xiang smiled.
Tao Gongchi withdrew his hand and put it in his pocket: "The people haven't arrived yet, you can go to 304 to rest, or you can come back at nine o'clock tomorrow morning."
"Okay." Chu Xiang nodded.
As soon as Chu Xiang left the institute, a figure bumped into him. Chu Xiang stepped aside and the man didn't even raise his head. He said sorry and went in. Chu Xiang glanced at the man's back and felt that he looked familiar. .
After leaving the institute, Chu Xiang walked half a street back to a mobile station. After having a full meal, he found a room to take a shower and sleep.
Lop Nur was mysterious and unpredictable. He didn't know what would happen. Chu Xiang didn't dare to be careless. He had breakfast and rested for a while before heading to the research institute.
The receptionist at the front desk was still the same as last night. When he saw Chu Xiang, he asked Chu Xiang to go to the reception hall by himself and ignored him.
There were already more than twenty people in the reception hall, divided into two waves. The group on the left looked fierce and had evil spirits on their bodies. They were obviously recruited guards; the ones on the right were obviously archaeologists, including men, women and children. There were two of them. The old man’s hair was all white and he was wearing thick glasses. Going to that place in this kind of weather can only be said to be a sign of courage.
Chu Xiang frowned. Except for the two old men, there was only one young man and two middle-aged people in the archaeological team who seemed to be in good health. The others were all troublesome people. A middle-aged woman in her thirties who wears less clothing should not be that troublesome, but the other younger woman is more difficult. She is wrapped up tightly, and her body of less than 100 pounds can be blown away by a gust of wind.
Two women, two old men, and two thin young men who didn't look very healthy. An archaeological team of nine people. It would be a disaster to protect such people in a place like Lop Nur.
Before Tao Gongchi came, Chu Xiang found a seat and sat down. He didn't talk to anyone else. The other dozen or so people who had been recruited didn't say anything either. Only a few young people from the archaeological team were whispering.
After Chu Xiang arrived, two more people came one after another. When Chu Xiang looked at everyone, a lean and short man walked into the reception hall with his head lowered. Chu Xiang caught a glimpse of him from the corner of his eye and his eyes stayed on the visitor.
Chu Xiang was still wondering who the person he met last night was. It turned out to be this guy, the guy who even dared to dig up the tomb of Qin Shi Huang - He Nanfeng. When Chu Xiang was thinking about the purpose of this guy joining the escort team, he suddenly thought about it and felt a strange feeling in his heart.
