Hu Rong quickly put away her phone when she heard the professor's question.
Hu Rong immediately felt a little embarrassed that she had been playing with her phone for such a long time despite being in the middle of an archaeological excavation. She could not help but blush and smile at the professor.
"Professor, it's not the Wang Xu of Guigu 'zi Wang Xu. The other person I was talking about is a young professor at Peking University, but he has the same name as Guigu' zi.”
Professor Murong nodded and put down the bamboo slip in his hand. There was a trace of doubt between his brows, and then he let out a sigh of relief.
"Is that so? Is there anything strange about this person?”
Professor Murong asked," You were very serious when you went to the tomb in the past. Why are you so distracted today?”
"Is there anything on the phone that particularly attracts you?”
Hu Rong took a deep breath and looked at the professor. She said meaningfully,"This…I can't explain it clearly, but Professor, after you read it, you should understand.”
As she spoke, she pulled out the public lecture video saved on her phone and handed it to Professor Murong.
Professor Murong took it and looked down.
After a while, his brows instantly furrowed together.
As the class progressed, Wang Xu's description of the Peach Blossom Spring as a ghost story was shocking, and the live VR technology was displayed. Professor Murong's eyes widened.
"Hiss…"
He couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air.
"This class is really something!”
Although Professor Murong was old, his experience and thinking were far from what Hu Rong, who was his assistant, could compare to.
After he finished watching the video, countless related associations and guesses instantly appeared in his mind.
Tomb Path!
Shangri-La mural!
The Peach Blossom Land!
Peking University professor, Wang Xu, who had the same name and surname!
Thousands of thoughts were flying in all directions.
An idea suddenly appeared in Professor Murong's mind.
Seeing the surprise on the professor's face, Hu Rong immediately understood.
The professor must have had the same bold idea as him.
Perhaps, that Peking University professor called Wang Xu must have done a very deep research on the truth behind the Spring and Autumn Curtain!
Could it be that the Peach Blossom Land really existed?
These speculations surfaced in Hu Rong's heart. She looked at Professor Murong from the side and asked tentatively.
"Professor, I think this person must know something. He must have a deep understanding of this tomb. Should we invite him over?”
Professor Murong heard this and nodded." That's good too. It's absolutely impossible for us to work behind closed doors here. The one who reaches the top comes first. Perhaps the fog of Peach Blossom Spring can really be lifted by him."”
"Oh right, can you show me the information on this Peking University professor?”
"Alright."
Hu Rong replied and took back her phone. She quickly found Wang Xu's information in the bookmark and handed it over again.
Professor Murong only took a glance and could not help but frown. His tone was filled with distrust.
"This professor is actually so young?”
Hu Rong smiled and said,"That's right. When I saw it just now, I was also shocked. It's really enviable. He's so handsome and talented. He's definitely a winner in life!"”
Professor Murong chuckled and suddenly said,""Rongrong, you're not young anymore. It's time for you to find a partner. My nephew…"
"Sigh, sigh, sigh! Professor, I have a headache! I can't hear what you're saying…"
When she heard that the professor was going to be her matchmaker again, Hu Rong immediately shook her head like a rattle-drum.
"Child, how can a girl not marry?”
Professor Murong smiled helplessly and did not continue.
Then, he paused for a moment and continued.
"But this professor is really too young. Will he have real talent? To be honest, after seeing this photo that looks like a celebrity, my heart is a little nervous.”
Hu Rong raised her eyebrows and said,"So you mean you're not going to look for this person?"”
"No!"
Professor Murong's tone was very firm.
"We have to find him. Instead of running around here like headless flies, why don't we give it a try? Maybe he really knows something.”
A staff member at the side handed over a vacuum bag. After Professor Murong finished speaking, he put the bamboo slip in his hand into the vacuum bag.
Then, he turned around and shouted at the director behind him,""Inspector Zhao."
Superintendent Zhao immediately walked over." Professor Murong, do you have any instructions?”
Professor Murong nodded and said confidently,""The antiques in this tomb are very old. There should be a special way to preserve them. That's why they haven't rotted or been damaged until now, especially the mural on the wall.”
"Don't open the stone coffin yet."
"Once it comes into contact with oxygen, the body will easily decompose. We will move together when our vacuum cabinet arrives.”
Professor Murong didn't look like he was joking. Inspector Zhao was stunned when he heard that. He quickly nodded and didn't dare to be careless.
"During this period of time, I will have to trouble Inspector Zhao to take care of this tomb. I have something to do in the capital. When I return, we will continue the excavation work.”
"Alright, don't worry. I'll definitely keep an eye on this place!”
Inspector Zhao patted his chest and assured.
Hu Rong caught up.
"Professor, are you going to the capital to invite someone personally? I can't work here without you. Why don't I go in your place?”
"No."
Professor Murong shook his head.
"All the talented people in the world tend to have strange personalities. If we can't let the other party see our full sincerity, what if the other party refuses to come?”
He chuckled." That's why I'll go myself. Besides, I'm also very interested in this young professor called Wang Xu.”
"Then can I go with you?"
"Sure."
Professor Murong said," Today and tomorrow, we'll make a rubbing of the inscription and do some restoration work on the bamboo slips. We'll leave for the capital the day after tomorrow.”
"Thank you, Professor!"
"Alright, go do your work."
"Yes, yes!"
Hu Rong walked away with a smile and began to copy the inscription.
She turned on her phone and was about to take a photo of the inscription when she was stunned.
She was stunned when she saw that there was no signal on her phone.
He hadn't noticed it just now.
This was the bottom of the tomb!
How could there be a signal when they were more than ten meters from the ground?
If there was a signal underground, the archeologist would be willing to carry a bulky communicator with him.
But what was going on with the internet on the phone?
It felt like someone wanted her to see all of this on purpose…
……
At this moment, in an ancient-styled villa near Peking University.
Wang Xu, who was lying on a rattan chair in the courtyard and flipping through an ancient book called the Classic of Mountains and Seas, had a self-deprecating smile on his lips, which was half covered by the book.

There were still two to three more hours at night.
