Now the archaeological team's opinions are completely unified and they must continue to move forward.
We went through countless hardships, crossed the miasma forest, and personally exterminated two legendary monsters.
We have overcome so many difficulties. To put it more superstitiously, even God is helping us!
If you don’t rush now, when will you wait?
Seeing everyone's high spirits, Sun Cheng was very embarrassed and apologized to us repeatedly.
He felt that his previous ideas were too conservative, not only affecting morale, but also indirectly risking the bodies of the two professors.
Most importantly, he showed his distrust of me.
In fact, neither I nor Lan Jianguo have any dissatisfaction with Sun Cheng.
As a team leader, in that situation, it is understandable that he should start from the overall situation.
But Sun Cheng always felt guilty and resolutely resigned from his position as team leader and elected me to take over.
There was certainly no objection to this decision.
Facts have proved that we are in a special environment that cannot be explained by common sense. In the face of those extraordinary and supernatural events, no one except me can make correct judgments.
After experiencing these ghostly and evil things, these people have completely convinced me.
Lan Jianguo expressed his rare gratitude to me and praised me very highly.
What he meant beyond words was that people like me are definitely special talents and industry treasures.
If there were a few more patriotic and responsible evil doctors like me in China, our archaeological expeditions would have taken off long ago.
Old Lantou recovered physically and was in a good mood. He was not in a hurry anyway, so he simply told us about the development of archaeological exploration and some allusions.
…
Archaeological exploration is a boring, professional and hard-working business all over the world. We often encounter some weird things that ordinary people will never come into contact with.
The places where archaeological expeditions are least willing to go and where the greatest dangers occur are the so-called three restricted areas.
They are the virgin forests hidden deep in the mountains, the snow-capped mountains that remain cold all year round, and the endless hot deserts.
The reason why these three places are called restricted areas is that they are often filled with supernatural horror events. Let alone ordinary archaeological expedition team members, even professional troops cannot solve these problems at all.
Lan Jianguo can be said to have rich experience. He started in this industry when he was young in China.
In his thirties, he went abroad to study again and participated in countless archaeological expeditions. Each time, he had the best equipment and the most professional team members at the time.
But he had never really gone deep into these three places. This time he was already pleasantly surprised.
Lan Jianguo rarely talks about foreign affairs. Today he made an exception and told us some of his experiences while studying in Western countries.
According to him, Western countries also have many myths, legends and stories about supernatural beings.
There is even a specialized subject called theology.
Talk about God, angels, gods, vampires openly in regular classes...
He didn't know whether foreigners believed it or not. Anyway, as a Chinese, he didn't really believe in these things.
Moreover, he has been abroad for so long and has never experienced these Western demons and ghosts during his archaeological expeditions.
I just came into contact with many strange monsters and insects, and also encountered some things similar to curses.
What about after he returns to China? I found that it is more complicated at home than abroad.
During several expeditions, he encountered some special corpses, somewhere between zombies and rotting corpses. They didn't have any special abilities, but they were very scary.
I came into contact with something similar to corpse crickets and mutated snakes and rats in the tomb.
These experiences have turned Lan Jianguo into a rather contradictory person. On the one hand, he firmly believes in science and believes that these ghosts, gods and demons are all feudal superstition.
On the other hand, the large number of facts at work also forced him to accept some things that were difficult to understand.
So when he came into contact with me, he heard me talk about vixens, basilisks, zombies...
He didn't make a fuss like most people, but he always felt that I was exaggerating and was suspected of telling stories.
However, during this expedition, he personally experienced real monsters, such as shadow-eating snakes and ghost stories, including Beauty Dream and Chang'e Rabbit.
Although he didn't see anyone alive, he knew that those two monsters must be real. He had seen the corpses?
That's why Lan Jianguo felt that the world was different from what he imagined.
He now deeply understands this. Why do many foreign expedition teams also bring some witch medicine men? It is to prevent this kind of situation.
It's just that he was lucky enough not to encounter it before.
Finally, Lan Jianguo sighed: "Oh, Xiaodao, now I understand. Why are so many archaeological expeditions that obviously do not lack funds and professional equipment, but often end up halfway in the end?
“Actually, some supernatural phenomena happened in the middle, so we had to stop it.
"It seems that after I return, I should report to the organization and find more talents like you in the future. Maybe we can conquer the three forbidden areas in the future."
The more Lan Jianguo talked, the more interested he became. Finally he took out a small notebook and insisted on letting us take a look.
There are several archaeological projects including snow-capped mountains and deserts, which are said to be more attractive than the treasures of the Qing Dynasty.
Seeing that her father was getting further and further away, Lan Yue hurriedly stopped Lan Jianguo's grand plan.
Now there is not even a shadow of the treasures of the Qing Dynasty. What are you talking about about snowy mountains and deserts?
And now there is the biggest problem?
In the past two days, everyone has inspected the surrounding terrain. Not to mention landslides and ground cracks, there are no roads around at all. Even the rivers are blocked. It is very difficult to move forward.
As a guide, Liu Han definitely had to express his opinion at this time. He took out a piece of paper with two routes drawn on it.
This is a simple map he compiled recently after inspecting the terrain.
"Professor, Sun Cheng, Xiaodao, take a look.
"I have studied the terrain here. If I want to go forward, I can only go around the woods from the left and right sides.
"The left is an unknown territory, the right..."
Liu Han looked up at me.
"Just go back and take the other branch of the river fork to the right."
"Xiao Dao, which way do you think we should go?"
"Of course we have to take the river on the right." I picked up the pen and marked it on the drawing.
The mark on the treasure map has reached the end here. If we want to get to the treasure of the Qing Dynasty, we must break the other hole.
Once the feng shui tactic of Two Dragons Playing with Pearls is completely gone, I will be able to find out the real route to the Qing treasure.
After I made my point, everyone agreed.
So everyone started to pack their things, and each person packed a little of the gold ingots and stuff.
Lan Jianguo made it very clear that everything obtained on the road must be registered and taken back completely.
If we really find the treasure of the Qing Dynasty, the country will not treat us badly.
As for the few things Du Jun had hidden, he had never exposed them to the public.
Lan Yue was embarrassed to say that Du Jun took advantage of her.
After everything was arranged, we headed towards the other side of the formation.
