Professor Wang couldn't help but cheer excitedly when he heard Old Jiao's chant.
Shi Dong's face also turned red. Just now, he had said that he was incapable, but now, he could not understand a single word of what he was saying.
"High mountains must be recognized as stars, while the flat land has another name for the dragon. The name of the wind star is taken from its kind, and the stars below the mountain take shape.”Hearing Old Jiao's chant, Jia Yan suddenly remembered a chant he had read in a book and unconsciously recited it.
However, when Jia Yan said this, Old Jiao was quite surprised. He carefully savored it for a while. Old Jiao looked at Jia Yan and said with a bitter smile. "Master Yan, your attainments in Feng Shui are not inferior to my brother's!”
Jia Yan shook his hand. Other than memorizing, he really didn't understand the meaning behind it.
"Mr. Hu, Mr. Jia, Xiao Jin and I have been friends for two generations. Please give Xiao Jin some face and help us. This trip to Xinjiang is really important to our archaeological team.”Professor Wang pleaded as he looked at Big Silver Tooth.
"Master Yan... You see…This…" Big Silver Tooth didn't know what to say. Because Jia Yan was right. It seemed like their archaeological team was quite formal, but thinking about it, this was really a muddy water.
"Master Silver, we are all brothers. But I didn't agree to go because I was thinking about Professor Wang.”Jia Yan sighed and continued.
"With Professor Wang's body, he can't withstand such torture at all. It's fine if he's fine after entering the ancient tomb. If something really happens, we can't protect Professor Wang.”
Especially since Professor Wang and Big Silver Fang had a relationship of two generations. Anything could happen in the ancient tomb. If they really encountered something like a dumpling, not to mention protecting Professor Wang, even their own safety would be a problem.
"We can spontaneously organize some people to do security work. I guarantee that you won't be distracted!”Professor Wang said.
Jia Yan smiled bitterly and shook his head. They organized security work? They were just a bunch of nerds. How many of them could play with guns?
Even if there really was one, so what? Would guns really work in the ancient tomb?
"Professor Wang, let's make things clear today. We can come here because of Master Silver. Originally, we wanted to have the opportunity to go with him and see the world. However, your group is not suitable to excavate ancient tombs that have not been discovered by the world. It's too dangerous. If I really bring you into the desert, it'll be good enough if only a few of you come back.”
Jia Yan paused.
"Finding an ancient tomb is a piece of cake for us, but the things in the ancient tomb are probably beyond your imagination. There are not only buried cultural relics, but also many things and phenomena that even science can't explain. If we really encounter those things, we can't even protect ourselves. We can't take care of you at all.”
After Jia Yan finished speaking, he looked at Professor Wang's disappointed expression and felt helpless.
The ancient tomb was not something that scholars like them could understand. They studied the murals and the history or meaning of the cultural relics. It was more reliable. Follow them to explore? That was equivalent to making them face death.
"Have you entered the ancient tomb?" Miss Yang suddenly asked.
Jia Yan turned his head and glanced at this foreign lady. Didn't they say that this chick was from the United States? Why did she speak Chinese so fluently?
"We did. That time, the three of us brothers accidentally entered an ancient tomb. It should be the ancient tomb of the Liao Dynasty. It was already fortunate that we were able to escape from it.”Just as Jia Yan said that he had entered the ancient tomb, Shi Dong looked at them with a strange gaze. "Don't look at us like that. That ancient tomb is connected to an underground fortress in Japan. There are some cotton clothes and quilts inside. The local villagers have already helped to get them out.”
Jia Yan said this to tell Shi Dong that they weren't grave robbers. Even if they were, he wouldn't tell them.
"If not, I'll only bring two or three students with me. What do you think?”Professor Wang asked.
"Professor Wang, it's not difficult for us brothers to go there, but with Master Silver taking care of you, we didn't bring you there because we didn't want you to die in a foreign land in your later years. Professor Wang, please don't take my words to heart.”Jia Yan rejected Professor Wang's suggestion.
After a few more words, although Professor Wang continued to plead, Jia Yan kept shaking his head.
In the end, they were helpless. Jia Yan didn't agree, so the others naturally couldn't say anything.
Moreover, Old Jiao and Skinny Man agreed with Jia Yan's point of view. After all, Professor Wang was already so old. If something really happened in the ancient tomb, it would be difficult to explain it when he came back.
After exchanging a few pleasantries, the four of them left the guest house.
In just a few days, Big Silver Tooth had already settled the matters of the shop.
The shop wasn't considered big, with an area of less than 60 square meters. However, after Big Silver Teeth cleaned it up, it was really antique and had a special charm.
Skinny and Old Jiao were helping Big Silver Tooth in the shop. At the same time, they were studying the authenticity of these items to train their eyes.
Jia Yan continued to throw himself into the book.
At the same time, he also instructed Big Silver to help collect some ancient books, such as books on Dao techniques like the Maoshan technique, books on ghosts and gods, and books on martial arts.
Jia Yan thought that since these ghosts and gods were real, then martial arts would definitely be more reliable than these ghosts and gods.
The four of them did not lack money now, so their lives were quite leisurely.
On this day, the antique shop received an object that broke the short peaceful life of the four of them.
"Master Yan, look at this!" Da Yinya placed a piece of jade in front of Jia Yan.
Jia Yan picked up the jade and carefully examined it. The quality of the jade was ordinary, and the shape and patterns were very simple. It didn't look like anything good. Moreover, this jade was not big. It was only the length and thickness of a person's index finger.
"Master Yin, this jade doesn't look like much. You're an expert in this thing, so don't keep me in suspense.”Jia Yan put the jade back on the table.
"That's right, Master Silver, hurry up and tell me. Is this thing valuable or what? You've been so mysterious all this time." The thin man could not help but ask.
After receiving the jade, Big Silver directly closed the shop door. No matter how the thin man asked, Big Silver did not say a word.
"Hehe, let me tell you, we really got a big harvest today!”Da Yinya smiled so widely that his face bloomed. At the same time, he raised the small jade and said.
"Do you know what this is called? This is called the Jade Dolphin. Sigh ~ Yes, yes, yes. Do you know what this thing is used for?”Big Silver Fang said as he inspected the three of them.
"Let me tell you, this thing is something that a dead person holds in their hands. It's one of the burial items!”
