He had inspected the antiques here last time, and this time he didn't have much hope to find anything from the pile.

He did this firstly to pass the time, secondly to try to see if he could catch the leak, and thirdly to wait for those people to arrive.

Now that the Qi family has found out that Professor Hu participated in the excavation of the ancient tomb in Dakeng Village, they will send someone over sooner or later.Maybe in a few days, maybe tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.

Although none of the three inspectors from the capital had the surname Qi, but the Qi family has a complex network, and at least one of the three came to help the Qi family.

It is also fortunate that Professor Hu has not revealed the matter of the sheepskin map, otherwise the matter will only get worse, and he may not be alive today.

But he didn't see Professor Hu's graduate student Gu Donglai today, and he was a little worried that something bad would happen to him.

The lunch break was over, and both Professor Hu and Dean Zhang came to the underground warehouse. After a few chats with Dean Zhang, he also left.

Professor Hu took Lin Xiangyang into a research room dedicated to him, where all the floors and walls have been reinforced, and there are many high-tech research equipment.

Lin Xiangyang activated the isolation cover to isolate his conversation with Professor Hu in a small space.Even with monitors and listeners on the wall, you can't hear what they're saying.

Lin Xiangyang asked: "The ancient maps I passed on to you, you haven't shown them to others, have you?"

Professor Hu said confidently: "Don't worry, I've been cautious since what happened to Xiao Gu. I didn't show it to Dean Zhang, and I didn't let Xiao Gu know. Unless someone stole it, other than me No one outside has seen it."

Lin Xiangyang nodded, feeling slightly relaxed.At least judging from the old professor's secrecy methods, the information and quantity of the sheepskin map have not been leaked yet.

"Where did you hide it? Take it out and have a look, and tell me what you have researched during this time."

Speaking of the research results, Professor Hu suddenly became happy, and happily pressed a button on a smooth wall.

Immediately afterwards, an almost inaudible sound sounded, and a groove slowly appeared on the originally smooth and seamless wall, and a box was placed inside.

Lin Xiangyang was a little surprised. He had obviously probed this area just now, but he didn't find the switch or the box on the wall.

Professor Hu laughed and said: "This box is made of lead. If you don't know the password to find it, you can't find its existence even with a detector. Lead is a good thing. It can absorb and isolate radiation, so it can prevent detection by others."

He spoke complacently, and Lin Xiangyang also got a very useful thing from his mouth: lead can block the detection of experts.

Although he doesn't know what the principle is, at least he knows that it is true and effective, and he can develop many useful things on this basis in the future.

When I have collected all the sheepskin maps, I will put them in a lead box and bury them. No matter how high the opponent's realm is, I just can't find the whereabouts of the lead box and the sheepskin map.

Professor Hu spread out the sheepskin maps, and after flipping and deflecting at a specific angle, the boundaries of the three maps blended together perfectly.

Of the three sheepskin maps, the first one was obtained from a local snake in Haifeng City, the second was snatched back from the Qin family, and the third was obtained from the Cao family in Jiquan City.

In the process of obtaining the sheepskin map, he also learned that not only he himself knew the secret of the map, but even families like the Qin family already knew the whereabouts of some treasures and had already come out.

This gave him a sense of urgency. If he procrastinated any longer, even if he could get the sheepskin map, the treasure inside might be dug away.

What he is more worried about is that a big force like the Qiao family will have constant talents and experts to help him hunt for treasures. While digging out the treasures, they will destroy more information. Even if he gets the map later, he will find nothing.

As for whether the Qi family will use all means to obtain the part other than the map in his hand, there is basically no doubt about it.

If he doesn't protect Professor Hu, Professor Hu will die sooner or later.

He was thinking about it divergently, and Professor Hu had already called him: "Mr. Lin, judging from the known maps, there should be two remaining maps that have not been found yet."

"Are there only two left?" Lin Xiangyang couldn't help murmuring.

"Yes, there are only two left, so there should be no mistakes." Professor Hu said with certainty.

Lin Xiangyang looked down at the copy of the map, and found that the redrawn map was very clear, with very obvious lines and topographical features, and it was not comparable to the original sheepskin map full of ancient monuments.

Lin Xiangyang asked: "In addition to the Dakeng Village we have already discovered, where are the other places corresponding to the two remaining pictures?"

Professor Hu said: "According to my inference, the five sheepskin maps correspond to the graphic attributes of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. The Dakeng Village excavated last time corresponds to the attribute of soil. These two maps correspond to the attribute of water, and the third map corresponds to the attribute of wood. attributes. The remaining two should be metal and fire attributes respectively."

"I found the location in the corresponding historical dynasty map, and after comparing it with the modern map, I found that the second map corresponds to the Nushui City area along the Nushui River in Dianyun Province, and the third map corresponds to the The location is the Tamu Basin area in Xinjiang."

Lin Xiangyang asked in surprise: "How can the Tamu Basin belong to wood? Is it because of the word wood in the name?"

Professor Hu explained: "Tamu Basin is also a wonder of Populus euphratica forest. This kind of tree is said to live for 1000 years without dying, die for 1000 years without falling down, and fall down for 1000 years without immortality. So there is no problem at all if it belongs to wood. Of course, if from The ancient five-element deduction, the logic will be more rigorous."

Lin Xiangyang waved his hand and said, "Farewell, I don't understand such professional knowledge, so there is no need to explain it to me."

"However, what surprises me is that judging from these three maps, the actual distances between the three places marked on it are very far away. The ancients put it on the same sheepskin, which is really incredible."

There was a trace of mystery on Professor Hu's face, and he said: "Mr. Lin is already an extraordinary person. It doesn't seem so difficult to understand ancient people with your thinking, right?"

Lin Xiangyang suddenly realized that if the map was made by an ancient cultivator, then this distance span is really nothing.

He asked again: "Can we deduce from existing maps what information they really hide?"

Professor Hu stared at the map for a while and said: "Judging from the current situation, I can only be sure that the five locations marked on all the remnants of the map are superficial. location."

"But I'm sorry, from the currently known information, I can't infer the hiding place yet."
