“When I was young, I studied all kinds of traditional Chinese culture and had a lot of contact with talented people and strangers. I don’t reject many things.
“Of course feudal superstitious activities are definitely dregs, but I still support treating diseases and saving people, especially treating such evil and strange diseases.
"Is this considered serving the people and saving lives and healing the wounded?"
Professor Lan chatted with us while drinking tea.
During this conversation, I realized that Professor Lan was really not a polite person just now. He is very knowledgeable about these folk religious cultures, and he also knows a lot about great gods, tomb robbers... these special professions that ordinary people can come into contact with.
His kind of research is purely for academic purposes. The amount of knowledge involved in these Jianghu schools and historical tombs, archeology and other subjects have reference significance.
Especially tomb robbing.
Professor Lan affirmed that there are many real talents in this field, who are more professional than the historians and architects from the academy.
Professor Lan also specifically mentioned that before he went abroad, he led a team to participate in the excavation of some ancient tombs, and there were some experts in the field in that investigation team.
Professor Lan told us some past work experiences and talked about history from the ancient tombs.
This old man is a professional history professor. He knows a lot about China's many allusions and secrets that ordinary people don't know. He also combines it with historical analysis from other countries in the world, which opened our eyes.
I also discussed with him the mysterious traditional culture that I am good at, the Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon and the Five Elements and Bagua.
Although my knowledge is not as good as that of Professor Lan, I am specialized in the field, especially with some cases, and Professor Lan nodded repeatedly.
The more we talked, the more we talked about each other, and our names changed from Classmate Zhou Quan to Xiao Dao, and Professor Lan became Uncle Lan.
"well,"
Lan Jianguo sighed.
"Thinking about China's thousands of years of history, it has gone through countless changes of dynasties. During this period, I don't know how many ancient books and masterpieces were destroyed in the war, and a lot of traditional culture has been lost.
“Countless rare treasures were buried underground or became burial objects for emperors.
"Those of us who study history and archeology, the biggest hope is that these wealth belonging to the country and nation can be unearthed as soon as possible!"
"The place where you are going to the countryside is in Dajin Village. It is close to the virgin forest. It can be said to be one of the few pure lands for mankind. There are endless treasures in it."
Lan Jianguo seemed to have remembered something
"It turns out that I have a junior brother named Luo. He once led an expedition team to the primeval forests of Northeast China. It seems that this is your place?"
"What, Professor Luo, he is your junior brother?"
Du Jun and I were shocked.
"Are you talking about the expedition team searching for precious minerals, but Professor Luo later became ill?"
I answered hesitantly.
"Yes, it's Luo Jingye. He went crazy when he came back. He heard that he met a ghost there.
"Lao Luo is still unconscious and lying in the hospital in the military area. I visited him not long ago."
Lan Jianguo had a sad expression on his face.
"Xiao Dao, do you know about this matter? If you know, tell your uncle quickly."
Lan Jianguo's face became serious.
"You don't know that the country has approved it and will set up an expedition team next year to continue to search for minerals and some ancient tombs in the mountains. I may be the leader of the team.
"I need to know as much as possible about the previous situation before this."
"Ah, Uncle Lan, we do know something about this matter."
Du Jun and I looked at each other. Unexpectedly, Lan Yue's father was actually Professor Luo's senior brother, and he would lead a new expedition team next year to continue the unfinished mission.
This is definitely great news for Du Jun.
After what happened last time, I am no longer as enthusiastic about the Qing treasures as before.
The risk here is too great. Instead of wasting time here, it would be more reliable for me to study my medical skills and take on two more patients with evil diseases, or to buy more valuable antiques and herbs.
But Du Jun never gives up.
In his words, money is not enough. This is the wish of several generations.
Grandpa and Grandpa Wang have all devoted their efforts to this matter.
Besides, what happened before grandpa died? We don't know either.
It is indeed a pity to give up like this.
But Du Jun also understands that if he wants to explore the treasure, he must have a suitable opportunity. He must have more equipment and personnel than Professor Luo did, and only by bringing Liu Han along can he succeed.
Otherwise it is to die.
But doesn’t this opportunity come now?
If Lan Jianguo and the others really want to go into the mountains, they will definitely have to find a guide and even accompanying medical staff. There is no one more suitable than Liu Han and us.
Du Jun immediately became energetic.
"Uncle Lan, you don't need to ask Xiaodao about this, I know better than him.
"Don't think he is a great master. He is no different from your nephew. I can handle all these logistical messes by myself."
Du Jun used his strengths and told these people in detail about our encounter with zombies in the valley. It can be said that except for Liu Qingshan, Xiaolian and Wang Man did not know that much.
Lan Jianguo heard more and more sweat on his face, and kept wiping it with a handkerchief.
"Dajun, if we hadn't been chatting for so long and had your relationship with Lan Yue, I wouldn't have believed what you said!"
Lan Jianguo said with a wry smile.
"You two, remember, you can just talk about these things at home, but never say them in front of outsiders.
"Although the movement has passed now, if you promote these things, you will still be punished if you fail to do so."
"Uncle Lan, you said that experts and scholars in archeology like you, haven't you ever entered ancient tombs or other special places in the past?
"I don't believe you have never seen zombies or experienced these messy things?"
Du Jun asked somewhat unconvinced.
"Oh, that must be the case."
Lan Jianguo nodded.
“The world is such a big place, and it’s normal to have some things that science can’t explain.
"You can tell us about mutated corpses, including some weird things, we have all experienced them.
"But it's so mysterious as you said, so many zombies? What about wooden giants, yes-men... This is your story, and it won't be good if it reaches the ears of caring people.
"I'm not questioning whether you are lying to me!"
Lan Jianguo was afraid that we would be too preoccupied, so he explained again.
"It does not rule out that some things are due to my ignorance. We will discuss these things in the future."
Lan Jianguo changed the topic.
"Xiao Dao, no matter what, your line of work is somewhat dangerous.
"When I was young, I collected a lot of antiques and old objects, and there are some things you might use. Come to my place tomorrow and see what you like? My uncle gave you two.
"I don't have much use for keeping those things. Maybe they can play a special role in your hands."
"Yes, Dad, he saved both of us today.
"Besides, it turns out that Xiaodao saved me in the ghost temple. You can't thank him properly."
Lan Yue felt that what his father just said was a bit too official, so she shook her father's arm like a little girl.
"Hahaha, okay, okay, Xiaoyue, don't worry, I won't treat your friend badly!"
Lan Jianguo patted his daughter.
"Uncle Lan, I see that you were very attracted to Yu Ruyi in the ghost market just now.
"Lan Yue said this belongs to your family!"
I winked at Xiaolian, who turned around and took the backpack, took out Yu Ruyi and put it on the table.
