First-class Celestial Master [Rebirth]

A week later, X City Airport.

Chu Zeyun and Zhou Tong's flight landed, and the two walked out of the airport. In the airport, the people sent by the archaeological team to pick them up were waiting for them. Although those people were wearing plain clothes, their demeanor was capable, and their gestures were meticulous and rigorous. Specifications, one can tell at a glance that they have received special training.

Chu Zeyun explained: "These are sent by the state to protect us."

Zhou Tong nodded in understanding.

Those soldiers came over to help them carry their luggage. The leader was Zhao Han, who had a friendship with Chu Zeyun. He said to Chu Zeyun, "Mr. Chu has worked hard all the way."

"No hard work, how is Uncle Zhao?"

Zhao Han: "The chairman is in good health, thank you Mr. Chu."

"Duty." Chu Zeyun smiled and introduced them, "This is Zhou Tong, the current custodian of the Tianyan town's altar wood."

Zhao Han knew a little bit about inner sects, and when he heard Chu Zeyun introduce Zhou Tong in this way, he was surprised on his serious and serious face. He looked at Zhou Tong carefully, although he couldn't see what was so good about Zhou Tong. , but to be able to win the top spot in such a talented conference must be superior, he gave a military salute to Zhou Tong.

Zhou Tong smiled back politely and said, "Hello."

The two got into the car, and Zhao Han told Chu Zeyun the latest progress in the tomb on the way.

The archaeological team inspected the periphery and preliminarily determined that it may be the tomb of an ancient nobleman. The tomb is not small, with a length of more than 25 meters from east to west and more than [-] meters from north to south. It is considered a large ancient tomb.

The process of the discovery of this tomb is also quite coincidental. The tomb was dug in a small hillside. The nearby farmers reclaimed wasteland on the top of the hillside and wanted to use it to grow vegetables. As a result, the hillside was dug up with a shovel. Yes, and unlucky enough to bury himself in it.

Seeing that he didn't come back at night, his family called people to look for him in the middle of the night, and finally found him in the pit.Coincidentally, there is a graduate student in this family who is studying archeology-related majors. When he saw the terrain and then associated with local legends, he guessed that there might be a tomb here.

When it was dawn the next day, I came here and walked around. With [-]% certainty, I hurriedly called the instructor to make sure that there was really an ancient tomb here.

The village where the ancient tomb is located is also quite legendary, and there are many old people who have lived over a hundred years old.

As the saying goes, "Life at seventy is rare since ancient times." It is a rare thing to live to be 70 years old. Most of those who live to be over [-] years old are enshrined in their homes like living Buddhas.

In this village, almost no houses have one or two elderly people who have lived over a hundred years old.

Although Zhao Han looked a little serious, he told the story very humorously. He told Zhou Tong and the others a legend that was particularly famous in the local area.

The protagonist of the story is an old man who is only about half the height of a person. This old man is called "Vegetable Basket Man" by the people in the village. Because he lived to be more than three hundred years old, his flesh and bones were all shrunk into a ball, and he lost the ability to walk long ago. It is often put in a vegetable basket by the villagers and walked around behind their backs.

"Vegetable basket man lived for more than 300 years, people are very curious about his longevity, but the most rumored in the village is that vegetable basket man has died long ago, but the monster in the mountain wants to use vegetable basket to spread the word, so Let him live in the form of flesh, although the vegetable basket man is asleep all the year round, but once he opens his eyes, he will convey the will of the monster, and the village will offer sacrifices to the monster in the mountains every year." Zhao Han beat With the steering wheel, the military jeep drove into the mountain. The road here has not been developed yet, and the road is quite difficult to walk. It can be bumped several times after driving a few meters away, making Chu Zeyun turn pale.

Zhou Tong also felt uncomfortable, but immersed in Zhao Han's story, he asked, "Then what then?"

"One day it was very hot, and the vegetable basket man was carried by the young people in the village to enjoy the coolness by the river. On the other side of the river, two people were walking back and forth on the bank. The vegetable basket man suddenly opened his eyes and called out, 'Who are you'? The two people on the opposite side heard the words and looked over, saw the vegetable basket man in the vegetable basket, and said, "The voice of the old man is so loud at such an age, and he has a long life." The vegetable basket man snorted proudly and said, " The old man has lived for more than 300 years, and he is living a long life, but you, don’t you know that the other side of the river is Huang Daxian’s territory? Leave quickly’. The two did not speak, and they were silent for a long time, talking about something face to face. Vegetable basket man Seeing that they didn't leave, he was about to warn again, but found that the figures of the two disappeared with the wind, and Cai Lanweng suddenly had an ominous premonition. As expected, that night, the person in charge of taking care of Cai Lanweng found , Cai Lanweng died suddenly at home, and his death was very miserable."

Zhou Tong sighed a little, and Zhao Han told them several stories. Zhou Tong listened with great interest, and arrived in the village without knowing it.

After getting off the bus, a few villagers greeted them. The state will subsidize them for digging archaeological tombs in their fields, and it is a considerable subsidy. Of course they are willing to offer Zhou Tong and others like the God of Wealth. .

Zhao Han walked in the front and brought Zhou Tong and the others into a guest house in the village.

The people from the archaeological team have already arrived, and the person in charge of meeting them is a young man in his thirties. He is wearing a white shirt and a pair of silver-rimmed glasses. With this kind of strange arrogance, it seems that Zhou Tong and the others are very disdainful.

Chu Zeyun has been to this kind of occasion before, so it is not surprising that these scholars who do research believe in science, and can give a scientific explanation for any matter they take, and they are not the same as those who go against science and engage in special views. Faith is definitely different.After meeting, it's over, and they can't get together for the follow-up work.

Zhou Tong was not in the mood to deal with them either, just like looking at the air, after saying hello, he let Chu Zeyun socialize in the front, while he hid in the back and casually watched the Feng Shui in the guest house.

Since he entered the village, he discovered that the people in this village are very particular about Feng Shui.

The location of the house, the orientation of the doors and windows, the planting of trees in the front and back of the house, and the spiritual energy from the gods are enshrined in every room.Even such a hostel with a relatively harsh environment has good Feng Shui.

Zhou Tong looked up at the seven tattered light bulbs on the roof, and it happened to be the formation of the green dragon soaring into the sky, which catered to the three-legged jade toad placed in the north of the living room. Hotels do not have such a good Feng Shui layout.

Zhou Tong walked to the window and gently opened the window. Outside the window, there was a continuous green hill spouting green. The direction of the mountain looked like a koi wagging its tail. The bright sun was hanging high above its head, which was a good pattern of prosperity.

Surrounded by mountains, interlaced by rivers, all over the mountains.

Good Feng Shui.

Looking at the green mountains and forests, Zhou Tong was in a good mood. He stretched himself. Under such a good feng shui, it is not surprising that the villagers can live a long life.

One side of water and soil supports one side of people.

"Zhou Tong?"

Zhou Tong happened to be looking at the scenery in a good mood, and was about to take a couple of photos and go back to check them out so that he could come here for a vacation to raise a family when he was free, when he suddenly heard someone calling him from behind.

Zhou Tong turned around and looked, also quite surprised.

"Professor He?"

The old professor walked over excitedly, as happy as seeing his son-in-law who had met his eyes, he patted Zhou Tong on the shoulder and said, "Zhou Tong, haven't you seen each other for three years? How are you doing? Listen Professor Chen said that you have been in poor health, are you feeling better?"

"Thank you Professor He for your concern, it's much better."

The professor's surname is He and his first name is Dongfang. He is an old friend with Feng Yizhong, Zhou Tong's graduate tutor, and the two have a very good relationship.

Once when He Dongfang came to visit Feng Yizhong, he met Zhou Tong. He fell in love with Zhou Tong when he saw him. He chatted casually about archaeology. After hearing Zhou Tong's opinion, he wished he could poach Zhou Tong to him. Unfortunately, Feng Yizhong refused to let go.

Later, when he inquired about Zhou Tong's whereabouts, he heard Feng Yizhong say that Zhou Tong was in poor health and could not do stressful work, and he didn't know where he had gone.

Now I met Zhou Tong, just like the treasure I got again, He Dongfang wanted to pull Zhou Tong to come here for everything, and his assistant went abroad for further study. Paved the way for Zhou Tong directly!

Two students followed behind He Dongfang. They were surprised when they saw their tutor's reaction. They looked at each other and were very curious about Zhou Tong.

A slightly older man came out of the room, and when he saw Zhou Tong, he explained to the two juniors: "This is the Zhou Tong that the teacher is thinking about."

"Zhou Tong? Is that the Zhou Tong that the teacher often mentions?"

"That's right." Zheng Lin whispered to the juniors, "I heard that the teacher dreamed of Zhou Tong one night, and vaguely pronounced his name, and was overheard by his wife..."

Several students: "..."

He Dongfang happily took Zhou Tong's hand and said, "Where did you go to work after graduation? Do you have any ideas about coming back to study for a doctorate?"

Zhou Tong smiled and said, "Follow my dad's work."

He Dongfang was a little regretful when he heard the words, and asked tentatively, "Where is your father high school?"

"Zhou Tong." Chu Zeyun, who had finished talking with the man with glasses, called Zhou Tong's name in surprise. He was a little surprised to see the old professor and students surrounded there, and asked, "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing." Zhou Tong explained, "I met my mentor's friend."

"I see." It's not that Chu Zeyun didn't know that Zhou Tong was a graduate of a prestigious university, and so was he himself. It's just that his major didn't match his employment, and he studied finance for four years for fun.

The man with glasses also came over. He pushed his glasses and asked He Dongfang: "Professor He, the matter has been discussed. They will go to the tomb tomorrow. We can start archaeological exploration work in a week at the latest."

"Okay." He Dongfang became a little cold when talking to other people. He nodded, his eyes still on Zhou Tong.

Seeing that the situation was wrong, the man with glasses came over and whispered something in He Dongfang's ear. He Dongfang's face changed, and his joy obviously sank a little. He looked at Chu Zeyun, then at Zhou Tong, his eyes revealed Feeling sorry, he finally shook his head and sighed.

"Teacher?" Zheng Lin has been by He Dongfang's side for several years, so he can clearly see the boss's temper. He hurriedly followed, but when He Dongfang entered the room, he slammed the door and made it clear that he started to lose his temper.

Zheng Lin looked at the man with glasses suspiciously, but the man with glasses didn't change his expression, and said calmly, "Mr. Zhou, Mr. Chu, your rooms are ready, come with me."

As soon as these words were said, Zhou Tong and Chu Zeyun's positions were immediately drawn together. These students knew that before the tomb was opened, some people from "other departments" would go to the tomb for initial inspection, and they also signed a confidentiality agreement. .They also know that today, people from "other departments" will come.

Both Zhou Tong and Chu Zeyun are from that "other department".

In the eyes of outsiders, the "other department" is an invisible department, they can only see the work of the archaeological team, and for those who have been close to the "other department" of the archaeological team, the "other department" is the same as the one given to them. You send a text message saying which bank card your son is going to transfer money to when he is hospitalized, it is also a liar.

Zheng Lin finally understood why his boss was so disappointed. The good student who was full of expectations in the past was reduced to go to a liar organization to cheat after graduation. Everyone would be disappointed...

When Zheng Lin looked at Zhou Tong, his eyes were also a little disappointed. However, when he looked at Zhou Tong, Zhou Tong just noticed that his gaze was on Zheng Lin. Brilliant, jet-black eyes are like black gemstones.Zheng Lin was stunned for a moment, and began to doubt the knowledge he had received in the past.

Eyes are the windows of the soul, how can a person with such clear eyes be a liar?

After checking in, Zhou Tong read the books brought over in the room. This time the tomb is likely to be an ancient tomb from the Western Han Dynasty, and the books and materials Zhou Tong brought were all about the tomb knowledge at that time.

There are customs in the tombs of all dynasties, and there are taboos that cannot be touched. If one is not careful, the originally safe tomb will be turned into a dragon's pond and a tiger's den. He has to be careful.

At this moment, the door was knocked, Zhou Tong went to open the door, and it was Chu Zeyun who came.

Chu Zeyun put the fruit plate on the table and said to Zhou Tong: "Just now Zhao Han sent it over and said it was given to us by the village head. Try it, it's quite fresh."

Zhou Tong nodded, took a cleaned date and ate it. It was crispy and refreshing, and the sweet juice flowed into his mouth. It was indeed very delicious. Zhou Tong asked, "What's the matter? What do you want from me?"

"Hmm..." Chu Zeyun thought for a moment, then said, "Don't mind what happened today."

Zhou Tong looked at Chu Zeyun suspiciously: "Huh? What's the matter?"

"It's about the professor."

"Oh." Zhou Tong squeezed another jujube and ate it, and said, "It's okay, I know Professor He's character well, besides, I'm not the liar they imagined, why do I feel uncomfortable?"

Chu Zeyun smiled in relief, and said with admiration: "It's just like what grandpa said, you have a big heart."

"It's all about being petty." Zhou Tong smiled, and he picked out a few more dates and put them aside, and put the rest by the window.

Chu Zeyun asked in surprise, "What are you doing?"

Zhou Tong smiled without saying a word. Not long after, many small animals climbed up from the window. Three or five of them crowded into the house and started to eat the fruit in Zhou Tong's hand.

Outside the window, the full moon hangs high.

The next day, Zhou Tong and Chu Zeyun woke up early and followed Zhao Han's troops to the site of the tomb.

The tomb still remained as it was when it collapsed, only a little bit was dug down, and the scope was determined, and they didn't dare to move around until they had seen it.

After Zhou Tong arrived at the scene, he walked around the tomb and shook his head at Chu Zeyun.

After getting Zhou Tong's answer, Chu Ze walked around with the compass on the cloud, but he didn't expect the result to be exactly the same as what Zhou Tong saw with his naked eyes. There was nothing weird about this tomb.

Zhao Han asked, "How is it?"

Chu Zeyun pondered for a moment, then said, "Dig down."

After getting the order, Zhao Han immediately called people to start the work. All the hired workers were skilled workers. After a little guidance, they knew what their work was about. Chu Zeyun watched them dig.

As a result, halfway through the work, the people below climbed up and said: "I found a robbery hole."

Chu Zeyun hurriedly followed them down the ground, and sure enough, he saw a huge robber's hole looking at them with its mouth open. He held a compass and turned around the entrance of the robber's hole. The pointer of the compass trembled for a moment, showing a strange angle.

Zhou Tong squatted at the entrance of the cave and said to Chu Zeyun, "I'm afraid the tomb is not complete."

"Hmm." Chu Zeyun said, "There's something down here."

Zhou Tong said: "The yin energy is so heavy, someone must have been buried alive inside."

Chu Zeyun also thought of this, but he wasn't sure. After hearing Zhou Tong's words, he immediately had an idea. He climbed back to the ground and said to Zhao Han, "Zhou Tong and I will go down the robbery cave to have a look."

Zhao Han nodded: "Okay."

The rope was tied around the waist, and the people outside pulled Zhou Tong and Chu Zeyun down slowly along the robbery hole.

Zhou Tong asked: "There is indeed an aura left by the Yin soldiers passing through the cave."

Chu Zeyun nodded, and said: "My grandfather's dark eyes saw it. It was on the tree trunk in front of the left side of the cave. There was a small section of armor left there, but it was too weak and we couldn't take it off."

Zhou Tong said, "How did you escape from the tomb?"

"I don't know either." Chu Zeyun said, "If it weren't for the special circumstances, I wouldn't bother you to come and work with us."

"No." Zhou Tong said, "I'm also quite interested in this tomb."

The voices of the two talking echoed in the narrow robbery cave. At the same time, the two who noticed the abnormality did not continue talking. The air was very quiet, filled with an unbearable dead silence.

Chu Zeyun: "..."

Chu Zeyun suddenly pulled the rope, Zhou Tong looked down, Chu Zeyun's foot bumped into something, it was sticky, like mud after rain, very inconspicuous, but Zhou Tong's attention But it fell on that thing.

"It's white mud paste." Zhou Tong said.

Chu Zeyun nodded: "There must be a tomb below."

White mud paste is used to seal the tomb to prevent tomb robbers, and it has a very good sealing and protective effect. Most of the tombs of ancient nobles were sealed with white mud paste.

The plaster was obviously destroyed, and it is uncertain whether the tomb underneath is still there.

Zhou Tong and Chu Zeyun looked at each other, they were both asking each other's opinion, Zhou Tong shook his head, Chu Zeyun complied with Zhou Tong's opinion, the two pulled the rope, and soon someone pulled them away go up.

He Dongfang rushed over as soon as he heard that he had discovered the robbery cave. When he saw Zhou Tong and the others coming up, he hurriedly asked, "How is it?"

"The white clay paste has been demolished." Zhou Tong said, "I'm not sure if the tomb is still there."

He Dongfang's face was flushed with anxiety, he took two steps left and right, and muttered, "Oh, what should I do, what can I do?" He looked at Zhao Han and asked, "Can we start mining now?"

Zhao Han looked at Chu Zeyun and Zhou Tong.

Zhou Tong said: "Not now, the tomb is too cloudy."

He Dongfang stared, "Of course there is Yin Qi in the tomb!" There was a repressed anger in his words.

Zhou Tong reassured: "Professor He, don't worry, if it opens sooner or later, this robbery hole will not disappear, and it won't change anything sooner or later."

Chu Zeyun ignored He Dongfang at all, and said to Zhao Han, "Let's drive away the yin energy tonight, and we'll see tomorrow."

Zhao Han nodded and went to order the workers to call it a day.

"Teacher." Zheng Lin came over and said something in He Dongfang's ear. He Dongfang frowned and asked, "What's going on?"

"I don't know either." Zheng Lin's brows were a little anxious, "They said they were going out for a walk and never came back."

A worker passing by next to him asked, "Did you go to Hexilin?"

"Hexilin?" Zheng Lin asked, "Where is Hexilin?"

The worker pointed to the north and said, "It's the forest on the other side of the river. If you haven't worshiped the ancestors in the village, don't go there. It's very dangerous."

"Hexilin?" Zheng Lin chewed on the place name, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt familiar. He suddenly remembered something, took out his mobile phone, opened the WeChat group composed of several postgraduate and doctoral students under their teacher, and scrolled up. In the chat records, it was more than a week ago that I saw the conversation between the two juniors.

"I heard that there is a Hexi forest in Xinglong Village, and there is an ancient stone tablet from the Western Han Dynasty in it. I really want to see it."

"I also heard that Hexi Lin is very evil, do you dare to go?"

"There's nothing to be afraid of. I'm afraid the boss won't approve it. You know our boss... He definitely wants us to focus on this ancient tomb inspection and doesn't want us to run around."

"Hey, didn't you say that Feng Shui masters will go to see the tomb first? Let's go while they are looking at the tomb."

"Don't worry about it. The boss attaches great importance to this job. Be careful that you will be eaten by the monsters in Hexilin!"

Seeing this, Zheng Lin's right eyelid twitched, and he said the last sentence, don't let it come true.

Zheng Lin was very worried, took out his mobile phone and called the two juniors, but still no one answered.

This has disappeared for nearly a day. How can young people nowadays not play with their mobile phones for a day?Even if he didn't receive the call at that time, it is impossible to see the missed call from him and not return it to him.

"Maybe it's a bad signal." Zhou Tong saw that Zheng Lin was calling frequently, and said with a smile, "The legend may also be to scare people."

Zheng Lin nodded gratefully, but just as Zhou Tong finished speaking, the phone rang.

It was a call from his junior brother.

He hurriedly connected the phone, but there was a buzzing sound full of electric current, and suddenly there was a sizzle, and a strange laugh came from the other end of the phone.
