Guanzhong Tomb Robbery Notes

The lie about the bronze plate is not convincing.

If Professor Pan paid more attention, he would be able to expose my lies.

It is impossible to predict what consequences this will cause.

Ai Wuzhuang pouted and puffed up his cheeks, glaring at me: "You're still rude to me. If I hadn't helped you, would you have been able to understand the meaning of those inscriptions?"

"Besides, the reason Professor Pan wanted the inscription was because you asked me to translate it for you. The root of the problem lies with you."

"..."

Well, after all this time, this boomerang hit me again.

Come to think of it, if I hadn't asked Ai Wuzhuang to help translate, Professor Pan wouldn't have seen those inscriptions.

Now is not the time to complain, we have to find ways to cover up the lie as much as possible.

"I was a little impulsive just now, don't mind me."

Ai Wuzhuang rolled his eyes at me.

"Humph!"

"Sister Ai, I'll treat you to a good meal to make amends! I'll treat you to whatever you want."

"That's pretty much it."

Ai Wuzhuang is quite easy to coax.

As soon as you ask me to treat you to something delicious, my attitude changes immediately.

"Professor Pan just took a look at the original document and returned it after reading it. He also discussed some of the content with me. Do you want to listen?"

I didn't expect things to take such a sudden turn.

Judging from Ai Wuwu's smug look when he was keeping the secret, and judging by his discussion with Professor Pan, there must be important content.

"Want to hear it."

"Hehe, you're being good now. Why don't you continue to be as fierce as before?"

Women are really petty.

I thought he had been coaxed by the promise of a big meal, but I didn't expect he still holds a grudge now.

"Sister Ai, I know I was wrong. How about I treat you to a big meal?"

"Two meals are enough. Eating too much will make you fat. You're not as pretty as Nan Nan to begin with, and if you get fat, you'll be even less so."

Ai Wuban held his waist, looked down at his slightly plump belly, his face full of regret.

Women, it turns out, always care about beauty.

"Sister Ai, you are very beautiful. A little fatter and a better figure is also a kind of beauty. Being too thin is actually not good-looking."

"Just your sweet mouth."

Ai Wuzhuang sat down on a bench in the corridor. "Professor Pan said that he had seen a rubbing of a bronze inscription in his early years, and the content recorded was related to the inscriptions you copied."

"Oh? Please tell me in detail."

I urged excitedly.

Now I am eager to know any clues related to the search for the Baon snake.

"Because it's been so many years, Professor Pan only has a rough idea of ​​what it was. When he first saw the rubbing, he thought it was fake."

"After reading the inscriptions you copied, Professor Pan felt a little regretful that he didn't bite the bullet and buy the rubbings. Otherwise, they could have been combined now for more in-depth research."

"Oh, hurry up and tell me the content." I said impatiently.

I really don't want to listen to these trivial things.

"The content of the rubbing is roughly that when Jupiter passed the boundary where the Yong Kingdom was located, strange changes occurred on the earth. A divine messenger appeared in the mountains with his people. The king of Yong accompanied Bi Gong, who had come from afar, to offer sacrifices and pay homage to the divine messenger."

Jupiter was the ancient name for Jupiter.

The Jupiter calendar was already used during the Xia and Zhou dynasties, with the year consisting of sixty Jiazi cycles, which repeated over and over again.

The content of the rubbing mentioned by Professor Pan can actually corroborate the content of the bronze plate.

"Oh, by the way, when Professor Pan was talking about this, he also mentioned Professor Zhang."

"He said Professor Zhang's recent research was too radical. Mythology isn't history, and the idea of ​​divine messengers is simply due to the ignorance of the ancients."

Myth is not history, it is a theory in academia.

It is believed that the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors to the Xia Dynasty period, which have no empirical support, are all myths and legends and are not real history at all.

I stroked my chin and pondered what Professor Pan meant.

It sounds like Professor Pan knows something.

It is even possible that there was an academic dispute between him and Professor Zhang.

"Are Professor Pan and Professor Zhang on good terms?"

"Their relationship was pretty good, but ever since Professor Zhang took on the project to study the python, their relationship has taken a sharp turn for the worse, and they've even had a few arguments."

"I heard that the project was originally given to Professor Pan, but for some reason it was transferred to Professor Zhang, and then the two of them fell out."

I was a little confused when I heard it.

We are both professors, how can we fall out over such a small matter?

Besides, there is not much funding for research on humanities topics, so there is not much profit involved.

"Did Professor Zhang steal Professor Pan's research project?"

"No, Director Ma assigned the project to Professor Zhang, and Professor Zhang's original project was suspended for this reason."

"That's strange. If Professor Zhang hadn't taken the initiative to steal the project, how could they have fallen out?"

Ai Wuzhuang shook his head slowly, unable to figure out the reason.

At this time, Zhang Nan finished his meal and walked out of the ward. He tilted his head and looked at us: "What are you two talking about?"

"Let your brother treat us to a big meal."

Ai Wuzhuang walked up and took Zhang Nan's arm, and the two of them were as close as sisters.

Zhang Nan smiled and poked her belly.

"Who thinks they're fat?"

"Who said we should eat less and exercise more?"

"Have you forgotten what you said?"

Ai Wuzhuang stomped his feet frantically: "Nannan, you just don't want Shitou to pay for the meal."

When the two were having fun, Cui Hao came over.

"Sister Nan, Grandpa wants to talk to my brother."

"Oh, okay, Shitou, go quickly." Zhang Nan urged.

I followed Cui Hao into the stairwell.

Seeing that there was no one around, Cui Hao whispered, "Brother, my sister is here."

"Ok?"

I was a little confused: "Your sister is not shameful, so why would she be so sneaky."

"My sister didn't come alone, she brought Meng Jingwei with her!"

Meng Jingwei is Meng Jianshe's second uncle.

Before, when Meng Jianshe knocked over the chicken soup that Cui Hao gave to my grandfather, Meng Jingwei also acted arrogantly in front of me.

If Tuoye hadn't stepped in to stop me, I would have smashed his head with the iron chisel.

"What is he here for?"

"My sister said that Meng Jingye and Meng Jianshe are both dead, and most of the Meng family members who went crazy while visiting the tomb are also dead."

"The Meng family held a grand funeral together, and now Meng Jingwei has become the village chief."

I was stunned.

Why did the Meng family father and son die?

At this moment, I suddenly remembered what Grandpa Tuo said: I can't walk far.

It seemed that they could not stray too far from the tomb.

Suddenly I had a sense of enlightenment.

The reason why the black slime used their skin to return to the village was to make their deaths more reasonable.

As for what role Tuo Ye played in it, I can’t guess.

"Where is Meng Jingwei now?"

"In the hospital garden."

I came to the garden.

Meng Jingye, the bully who once ran rampant in the village, showed a look of three parts fear and seven parts awe when he saw me.

This has never happened before.

He seemed very afraid of me.

He took every step towards me very carefully, as if he was afraid that a wrong step would make me angry.

"Shi, uh... Chen, Chen..."

He was so nervous that he didn't know how to address me.

I changed the words several times but still couldn't make up my mind.

"Everyone calls me Brother Chen Ye," Cui Hao reminded.

Meng Jingwei hurriedly said, "Master Chen, I have heard everything Master Tuo said. If you have anything to tell me in the future, just tell me and I will do my best to do it."

"What did Master Camel tell you?"
