Who is not a monk

Too bad it's not a cut flower variety.

While smelling the flowers, Chen Shu turned around and asked Ning Qing, "What are you doing in summer vacation?"

"I'm working, and you?"

"I want to participate in the opening of the Ancestral Cube and the inventory of cultural relics." Chen Shu smacked his lips, "Professor Chen finally has a little effect. It's not easy."

"Just what you want."

"hey-hey……"

"Why are you so interested in Shengzu?" Ning Qing glanced at Chen Shu.

"I want you to manage."

"..."

Ning Qing turned her head and said nothing.

At this time, Chen Shu received a call from Professor Chen. As soon as he got through to Professor Chen, he said, "The excavation of the cube will start this afternoon. Would you like to join in the fun? We should wait until tomorrow after clearing the earth and rocks next to it. "

"want."

"Where are you?"

"Ning Qing's family."

"I'll pick you up."

"it is good."

Chen Shu stood up and said to Ning Qing, "I'm leaving."

Ning Qing nodded lightly.

……

Jinghai is the second largest freshwater lake in Yuanzhou. It is long and about 40 kilometers long, with a maximum width of 10 kilometers from east to west.The urban area of ​​Baishi is located at the foot of the mountain to the west of Jinghai, opposite to the Youlong District. From the urban area to the foot of Meiren Mountain, you can only take the Huanhu Road. There is no expressway, and it takes about an hour's drive.

Professor Chen drives very well and never speeds.

An hour later, they reached their destination.

Standing at the foot of the mountain at close range, you can realize how terrifying the power of nature is.

Half of the mountain's earth and rocks collapsed, and the road around the lake was buried for at least one kilometer. The earth and rocks rushed into the lake, and there must have been a lot of momentum at that time.

The cube is inlaid in the upper part of the mountain, exposing a corner, and the dark gray and almost black material reveals an extremely simple and heavy feeling.It just happened that it has just crossed the 5000-year long history, and meeting people of this era has a magical sense of time and space travel.

Gazing at it, it's as if time is compressed.

Chen Shu saw that this place had already been sealed off. There were heavily armed soldiers standing guard and armored vehicles with their own spiritual shields. Anyone who passed through had to be identified.

Large excavation equipment is ready.

The archaeological team has already arrived.

There are many leaders.

In short, there are many people.

However, Chen Shu basically didn't know these people, but he did know two historians:

Professor Shi and Professor Liu.

Chen Shu has read their books and watched their programs. The status of these two in the field of history is probably similar to that of Professor Chen, and they focus on different dynasties.

In addition, there are two other people who are very eye-catching——

A woman in a Taoist robe has an ordinary appearance, without the taste of immortality, and the Taoist robe is also different from her previous life.

The other is a male, wearing a yellow monk robe, with a fierce appearance, his face is covered with scars left by knives or swords, and dirty scorching marks, his eyebrows are thick, and he seems to want to look at people when he opens his eyes. Eat it, it turned out to be a Buddhist.

Both Taoism and Buddhism were founded by the disciples of the holy ancestors. They are evergreen sects in the history of practice, and they are still powerful and have widespread followers.

Of course, it still has to accept government control.

These two should have been recruited to maintain safety.

At least a high-level practitioner, right?

The Holy Ancestor Cube has a lot to do with the source of Chinese civilization, and there are many cultural relics and treasures inside.Although Yiguo's excavation of the Holy Ancestral Cube has never been an accident, the necessary safety measures must still be taken.

"Hello, Professor Shi, I have read your Dasheng handouts." After Chen Shu finished speaking, he looked at another person, "Professor Liu, I liked you very much when I read history lectures when I was young. Very exciting, really, you are a lot of people's history enlightenment teacher."

"Hello." Professor Shi was very reserved.

"Hello Xiao Chen, thank you..." Professor Liu said, "Professor Chen said that you have a deeper understanding of the history of the Xia Dynasty than he does. You are truly a hero."

"Where is that, I am just very interested in the Holy Ancestor. You also know that basically every boy has been interested in the Holy Ancestor since he was a child." Chen Shu said modestly, "If there is something I don't understand, I will ask the elders to teach me a lot. .”

"Do you plan to develop in the history field in the future?" Professor Shi asked Chen Shu.

"I don't have this idea at all, it's just an interest." Chen Shu replied honestly, "I plan to apply for the Principles of Magic here."

"Oh……"

Professor Shi was taken aback.

When they heard Professor Chen say that his son knew more about the Holy Ancestor than he did and wanted to bring him over as an assistant, they thought it was Professor Chen who paved the way for his son's future.It is also normal for the children of well-known historians to continue to study history.

Now it seems that may not be the case.

Professor Shi then asked, "Have you finished the exam, have you got your scores?"

"not yet?"

"Is there a goal?"

"See if I can go to Yujing Academy."

"Oh... yes, yes."

Professor Shi said two things in succession, because he is a professor of the History Department of Yujing University.

Professor Liu didn't make a sound, he was next door.

Someone came to ask the three professors, and after getting the answer, the machine on the mountain started to start immediately, and the sound of bang bang bang was heard from afar, and I am afraid that it could be heard across the lake.

Chen Shu looked up, very focused.

Some people always compare tomb robbery with archaeology, but the two are obviously completely different.

Tomb robbery is for selfish desires, extremely barbaric active invasion of the tomb, and obtaining valuable items inside.They can cause great damage to the tomb and its contents, and many treasures have been completely destroyed by their unprofessionalism.The few left behind are often sold abroad, or hidden in some collectors' houses.

Archeology is usually passive.

Most of the time, the archaeological team will conduct rescue excavations when the tombs and ruins have already appeared due to natural reasons, or there are already traces of tombs being robbed.

Of course, there is also the wisdom to actively explore, but it was basically sprayed out later.

What about the results of archaeological excavations?

Some can fill in historical gaps, some can correct cultural gaps, and these are very important.

Without history, without culture, there will be no identity, and there will be no great country and civilization.

As for some substantive items, a few will be preserved, and most will be put into museums. Everyone in the country can appreciate the treasures left by these ancestors, and in fact, many museums charge no or very low fees.

The claim of 'legal tomb robbery' is pure nonsense.

Even in this world, in this era, the value of items unearthed from ancient tombs or ruins is mostly at the level of 'cultural', and rarely of practical value.There is no such thing as saying that ancient practice methods, spells, techniques, etc. are more advanced than those of today.

The Holy Ancestral Cube is very special.

One is its present world:

The Holy Ancestral Cube always appears actively. Before it appears, no one knows where it is, and it will not be discovered actively or by accident.It might even be in an already battered mine.When it appeared out of thin air, all the mines were blocked, which is very miraculous.

The second is its value:

In addition to cultural significance, the things in the Holy Ancestral Cube have real strategic significance.

"bang bang bang..."

The outline of the holy ancestral cube gradually emerged.

The gray-black Hanxing stone is harder than steel, and it is still a strategic material. You can dig it boldly without worrying about damage.

This is also the atmosphere of the Holy Ancestral Cube.

For ordinary relics, you have to use small shovels, small spoons, small brushes, and small graduate students to dig bit by bit. It takes time and effort, and the graduate students are very delicate.

"Wow!"

The water drops rushed down, and the pattern on the square stone wall gradually appeared.

Simple pine branches pattern.

The pattern of each square is different, and the one in Yujing is the picture of auspicious clouds.

Dig further down, and the cube door will appear.

Now the side facing the lake is the west gate. There are six gates in total, all of which can be entered.

And apart from such a heaven-defying 'hidden mechanism', the Holy Ancestral Cube has no other defense and counter-attack facilities, only the gate needs to be cracked for a while.

Shengzu didn't have the idea of ​​killing the thief.

The fellow is kind.

The sound of bang bang bang gradually stopped, and then a large amount of water washed away the surface of the cube, revealing the outline of a huge arch.

It was getting dark.

More and more lights gradually gathered at both ends of the blocked Huanhu Road. It was the citizens who came to watch after hearing the news, and some people sailed from the other side of the lake to watch.

People from the military went up.

It will take a while to crack the gate, and then there will be air isolation, to go in to verify safety, and to transport equipment in, it may take until midnight or tomorrow morning.

Chen Shu will not be able to follow Professor Chen into the Cube until at least tomorrow.

I just came here today to watch the fun and learn a lot.

twelve o'clock in the evening.

Chen Shu had already returned home.

And practice is completed.

In addition to being tired, he couldn't fall asleep, and all kinds of messy thoughts came up one after another, making him confused.

Chen Shu carefully looked at the crystal in his hand, and after a while he lifted it up, facing the lamp in the room, the light penetrated through the crystal, and there was sometimes pink and sometimes light purple mist lingering inside.

He once read a book called "Zhou He Ji Shi".

Zhou He was a person in the early Xia Dynasty and the first historian in the history of China in this world. He usually stayed in the palace and was responsible for compiling history books.But in addition to the official history, he also recorded his daily work records, occasional feelings, and things he saw and heard that were not enough to be recorded in the history books, into a book.

This is "Zhou He Ji Shi".

The protection measures of this book are not as good as the official history books. Later, the Taoist sect recorded the history of the dynasties and dynasties, and they neglected to preserve this book, resulting in many defects.However, there are Daomen masters in modern times who have carried out a unified restoration of these books, and the content should be correct as before.

This book is often used as a reference for early summer history.

Chen Shu saw these words in the book:

The moonlight in the deep palace is clear, and the candlelight shadows on the corridor waist.

The White-headed Sage Emperor is here, sitting idle playing with crystals.

It's not really a poem, it's just a simple record of a small incident about the holy ancestor.

There were a lot of things going on that day, Zhou He was working overtime in the palace, and he didn’t leave the palace until very late. He accidentally saw the holy ancestor, alas, the moonlight in the deep palace was cold and quiet at that time, and there were lanterns and candle shadows dangling in the long corridor , His Majesty the Holy Emperor is very old, but instead of resting in the palace, he sat on the palace porch, sitting idle, playing with crystals in his hands.

Are you in a trance?

What would His Majesty the Holy Emperor be thinking at this time?

Zhou He thought it was very interesting, so after returning home, he quickly wrote it down.

Everyone in the world thinks that this poem describes the bleakness of the deep palace, the lonely scene of the elderly holy emperor sitting alone under the moon. It turns out that the holy emperor who ruled the world and created China will have a fragile side that needs company just like ordinary old people at night. Maybe the more lofty you are in front of others, the more lonely you will be behind you?

Chen Shu looked at the crystal in his hand again.
