It's midnight, the moon and stars are sparse.
Quancheng, at the foot of Qianfo Mountain.
Lu Cheng, 22 years old, a senior student in the Department of Acupuncture, was sitting cross-legged on a small bed in the dormitory, with his five hearts pointing to the sky, his mind sinking into his Dantian, and his mind concentrated, motionless.
This is June 2027, which is not the era of Qigong craze. There are very few young people practicing Qigong.
The society is stable, the country is prosperous and the people are strong, the lights are on and the people are reveling in life. As a young man, it is not too late to get a beautiful girlfriend and spend time together, love each other, and enjoy life! If you are not over 60 years old, who would think about practicing Qigong to maintain your health?
But this is not the case at Quancheng College of Traditional Chinese Medicine, because a famous professor said in class: "Any relatively advanced acupuncture technique, such as burning a mountain fire, letting the sky cool, a green dragon wagging its tail, a white tiger shaking its head, or a green turtle exploring its hole. Red Phoenix Yingyuan can only be performed by a skilled qigong master, ordinary acupuncturists cannot achieve that kind of effect!"
"What is acupuncture? Acupuncture must first 'get qi' and 'cure the spirit'. 'See the black clouds, the rustling, and the flying, but you don't know who it is'... What does this mean? It means practicing, If you don’t practice, you can’t become a good acupuncturist…”
As a result, some students were bewitched by it, just like Lu Cheng, who started practicing cultivation as soon as he entered the campus, and it has already been three or four years!
At 2 o'clock in the morning, Lu Cheng finished his exercise, stretched his limbs, and slowly lay down.
After 3 hours of sleep, I feel refreshed and energetic.
At five o'clock in the morning, he got up quietly, washed his face and brushed his teeth, put away the thin blanket and packed it into a large suitcase.
Then he went downstairs, got on his old bicycle, put his suitcase on the frame, left the school, and meandered south.
It is about 80 kilometers from Quancheng to Daicheng.
If you are a young person who lacks exercise, you may be half exhausted from riding down the mountain in one day, and you may not be able to reach it even if you drag it until dusk.
Lu Cheng is considered a regular practitioner and his physical strength is much better than that of ordinary students, so he arrived home at around two o'clock in the afternoon under the bright sun.
Lu Cheng's home is located on the east side of Dai Temple, not far from the Red Gate. It is the third floor of a four-story building and has been at least ten years old.
There was no one at home, so he opened the door with his key and drank half a pot of cold water.
Take a long rest and wait until after five o'clock. Mother Rao Yuqiu just returned home and picked up a little girl from kindergarten. Three-year-old Lu Xinyuan was Lu Cheng's sister.
Rao Yuqiu is very young, only forty-three years old. He is a traditional Chinese medicine doctor. He can be considered an alumnus of Lu Cheng. It was because of her instigation that Lu Cheng studied acupuncture.
As soon as she entered the door, she shouted happily: "My dear son, when did you get home? Are you tired? Sit down and rest first. I know you are back and bought vegetables early in the morning, so I will cook."
Lu Cheng smiled and said, "You're not tired. I came back early and have already rested."
Rao Yuqiu said: "In a few days, you will go to the Second Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine for an internship. Mom has many acquaintances there. One of the directors is still my intern teacher, and he is about to retire. I have agreed with him to invite him Take you for a few months.”
Lu Cheng nodded and said "Okay".
The College of Traditional Chinese Medicine is different from the general undergraduate program in that it lasts for five years, with the final year being an internship in a hospital.
Rao Yuqiu originally had a regular hospital staff, but resigned two years ago and opened his own clinic. However, due to its small scale, it cannot provide internship conditions, which must be recognized by the school.
The mother and son said a few words, and then Rao Yuqiu left her daughter to Lu Cheng and went to the kitchen to prepare dinner.
Lu Xinyuan was at the age where she was naughty and playful, and she kept making Lu Cheng giggle.
Although Lu Cheng is young, due to his cultivation, he has already polished his temperament and has the patience to play with his little sister.
After waiting for a while, it was getting dark, and his father Lu Tianming came back.
Lu Tianming is older, twelve years older than Rao Yuqiu. In a few years, he will retire.
He is the leader of the expert group of the Dai Temple Cultural Management Committee and the director of the Archaeological Office of the Daicheng Cultural Relics Bureau. He was invited to take a look at the cultural relics unearthed around Dai City and even the tomb excavations in Qilu.
No, when it was time for dinner, he spoke: "There are two earth seals at the foot of Wulian Mountain. A few days ago, a robbery cave was discovered, and they had to be rescued. The archaeologists opened the earth seals and found a huge stone The cairn has exquisite rock paintings on the stone walls. The cairn has not been opened yet, and it is not yet known what the interior looks like. There are also several accompanying tombs and a large chariot and horse pit. The person pulling the cart in the chariot and horse pit is not a horse. ! But tigers, leopards, bears, and tigers! In addition, some strange creatures were also found, and they invited me to take a look."
While picking up food for her daughter, Rao Yuqiu asked, "What year is this tomb?"
Lu Tianming said: "I don't know. We have to wait until we open the cairn and find something that can date it, such as a seal, or use C14 testing to know the approximate age."
Lu Cheng smiled and said, "Dad, I heard what you said is weird. How can there be tigers, leopards, bears, and strange creatures? Didn't it say that after the founding of the People's Republic of China, you are not allowed to become a spirit?"
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, animals are not allowed to become spirits. This is an Internet buzzword in the past two years. Its original meaning is "Animals are not allowed to become spirits after the founding of the People's Republic of China." It is used to ridicule animals who are cute and smart and often behave like humans, saying that they seem to have become spirits. .
"This is an ancient tomb!" Lu Tianming put down his bowls and chopsticks, wiped his hands with a tissue, and took out his cell phone: "Here, the photo has been sent, but it's a pity that I can't see it clearly."
Lu Cheng took a look and said, "This seems to be the skeleton of a bird."
Lu Tianming nodded and said "Yeah": "The strange thing is that the skeleton of this bird is very big. One leg bone alone is 1.9 meters! You can imagine how tall it is! Because this bird Birds, together with the skeletons of tigers, leopards and bears, appeared in the chariot and horse pits. Many people in the archaeological community went crazy, saying that it was a shocking discovery that was more miraculous than Sanxingdui! This matter has not yet been disclosed to the public. Ordinary people don’t know.”
Lu Cheng asked: "Dad, can I go take a look with you?"
Lu Tianming turned to look at Rao Yuqiu.
Rao Yuqiu smiled and said: "He has half a month's vacation! Let him go out for a walk, learn more about you, and help you bring tea and water."
Lu Tianming looked at Lu Cheng and said, "Okay, but you have to be obedient and don't touch randomly. If you damage any cultural relics, it will be a big trouble..."
Lu Cheng smiled bitterly: "Dad, I'm about to graduate from college, and I'm not a child. I promise not to touch or touch randomly, okay?"
Lu Tianming said: "Okay, I will teach you some common sense about archeology later."
The little girl Lu Xinyuan couldn't help shouting: "I want to go too, I want to go too..."
Rao Yuqiu said: "No, children are not allowed to go!"
Lu Xinyuan curled her lips and made a cry: "Oh...Mom, you are partial and won't let me go..."
Rao Yuqiu knocked on the table: "Stop barking! Eat quickly! How old are you? Who has time to take care of you after you go out? When you are as old as your brother, I will let you out!"
