The next day!
Chen Cang arrived at the Beijing History Institute.
School of Geography.
Chen Cang looked at the sign on the building and nodded.
Then, he walked into the geography department.
"Hello, I'm here to see Professor Zhang Chengzhi.”
"Is he in the office?”
A girl wearing thick glasses raised her head and glanced at Chen Cang before nodding shyly.
"Yes, Professor Chen is inside."
He walked to the office door.
Chen Cang knocked on the door lightly.
"Come in."
A bespectacled professor sat in the office.
He was already in his fifties this year.
His hair was already white.
However, he was still working.
Professor Zhang paused when he saw Chen Cang enter.
"Hello, what's the matter?”
"Hello, Professor Zhang!"
"I'm a student of Professor Chen Jiuren from the School of Archeology. My name is Chen Cang."”
Are you Professor Chen's student?"
Professor Zhang was stunned.
"You know my teacher?"
"Sigh."
Professor Zhang sighed.
"Professor Chen and Professor Hao, one dead and one crazy, caused a huge uproar in the school.”
"Besides, your teacher, Professor Chen, and I have been friends for many years. We used to go on field trips together.”
"I didn't expect him to fail this time!”
Professor Zhang shook his head, looking a little regretful.
After sighing for a while.
"Tell me, what's the matter?" Professor Zhang asked.”
Chen Cang took out a map from his backpack.
This was the map that recorded the treasures.
"Professor Zhang, this is a map that I accidentally saw in an ancient book. You are very knowledgeable. Do you know where this map is?”
Professor Zhang took the map, adjusted his glasses, and studied it carefully.
"This map…seems familiar?”After a while, Professor Zhang said with uncertainty.
Chen Cang's eyes lit up.
"Professor Zhang, do you know what this place is?”
"I forgot about it too."
"I seem to have seen the mountains and rivers recorded on this map before," said Professor Zhang with a frown.”
"How about this? Wait for me here for a while. I'll go and check the information. I'll tell you when I find it…"
"Okay, then I'll have to trouble you, Professor Zhang!”
About an hour later.
Professor Zhang walked over with a map.
"I remember now. Back then, when your teacher and I went to the Taihang Mountains for an expedition, we almost died there.”
"What's wrong?"
Chen Cang asked doubtfully.
"This map of yours is very similar to the Huaxing Mountain I've been to," Professor Zhang continued. At that time, we were still young and wanted to cross Huaxing Mountain to carry out field measurement and drawing work.”
"I didn't expect to see a huge wild boar on Huaxing Mountain. You might not believe it, but that wild boar was actually as big as an elephant.”
"If we hadn't carried guns and fired in time to scare away the wild boar, I'm afraid we would have died there.”
Professor Zhang recalled the past and still felt a lingering fear.
"A wild boar bigger than an elephant?"
Chen Cang was stunned for a moment. Wasn't this a demonic beast?
"What's wrong? You don't believe me?"
"No, no, Professor Zhang. So you're saying that Huaxing Mountain is drawn on this map?”
"It shouldn't be wrong. I'm 80% sure.”
"Thank you so much, Professor Zhang!”
A packet of tea leaves appeared in Chen Cang's hand.
"Professor Zhang, these are some tea leaves. Thank you for your help today!”
Professor Zhang was stunned.
"You can take it back…"
"Professor Zhang, these are just some tea leaves. It's not like they're anything valuable.”
"And you're my teacher's friend, so these tea leaves are for you!" Chen Cang said with a smile.”
Professor Zhang thought for a moment.
He felt that these tea leaves were not anything valuable.
He didn't refuse.
"Alright, I'll take the tea leaves.”
"In the future, when you have nothing to do, you can come and chat with me.”
"Alright, Professor Zhang, I'll take my leave then.”
"Yes."
Chen Cang took the map and left the geography department.
He was smiling.
He did not expect this trip to be so smooth.
He immediately knew where the treasures were hidden.
"As expected of Professor Zhang!"
Chen Cang praised.
Professor Zhang had traveled all over the country.
This was simply a living map!
If there was anything he did not understand in the future, he would have to come over and ask Professor Zhang.
" Mmm, next time, come over and get some more tea leaves for Professor Zhang…"
In the Chen family's study.
An extremely angry voice sounded.
"Little brat, where are my tens of thousands of taels of tea leaves? Not even a little bit left for me?”
"Unfilial son! What an unfilial son!"
"I'll break your legs when you come back!”
-
"Taihang Mountains?"
Chen Cang fell into deep thought. The Taihang Mountains were an important geographical boundary in eastern China.
It started from the west mountain of the capital in the north, extended to Wangwu Mountain in the south, connected to the Shanxi Plateau in the west, and faced the North China Plain in the east. It stretched for more than 400 kilometers from northeast to southwest.
It was the eastern edge of the second tier of Huaxia's terrain, and also the eastern boundary of the Yellow Plateau.
The most important thing was that the Taihang Mountains were not far from the capital, only a few hundred kilometers away.
Chen Cang rubbed his chin and pondered.
"I can make a trip to Huaxing Mountain. I'll be back in two to three days.”
"Yes, let's do that!"
"Otherwise, Dad will beat me to death when I get home…"
Chen Cang scratched his head slightly and muttered," Father, you should drink less tea leaves. When that tea tree bears fruit next year, I'll buy more for you…"
"Mm, I should leave a note for my father.”
"I don't want him to worry…"
-
Taihang Mountains.
A group of people was walking up the mountain.
"Everyone, be careful."
"There's a wild boar over there."
The leader said.
Beside him was a young man who looked to be in his twenties.
"Uncle Tian, are there really spiritual fruits there?”The young man asked.
"An, don't worry. The outer disciples of the Huo family saw it personally. There was a wild boar demon that was bigger than an elephant!”
The young man was called Huo Wen 'an, the third son of the Huo family of Changsha.
The leader of the group was Tian Hongyue!
It was an elder of the Huo family.
Although he looked ordinary, he was a Rank-1 martial artist.
In this era, those who could cultivate to become martial artists were all people with great perseverance.
Therefore, even though Tian Hongyue was an outsider to the Huo Family, his status in the Huo Family was very high.
This time, someone found a spiritual fruit in the Taihang Mountains. Moreover, there was a wild boar demon guarding it.
Tian Hongyue immediately decided to lead his men to kill the wild boar demon and obtain the spiritual fruit.
The value of the spirit fruit was simply too great.
"Uncle Tian, does having a wild boar demon mean that there are spiritual fruits?" asked Huo Wenan.”
"That might not be the case, but since it can become a demonic beast, that wild boar must have an extraordinary fortune.”
"That's why most natural treasures are guarded by demonic beasts," explained Tian Hongyue.”
"Oh, oh."
Huo Wenan nodded in understanding.
"Uncle Tian, is that demonic beast powerful?"
"Can you beat it?"
Tian Hongyue pondered for a while and said,""I can't say for sure. Some demonic beasts are very powerful, while others are very weak.”
"Moreover, in this era, demonic beasts have become less and less. I've only seen them once when I was young.”
Huo Wenan was a little worried when he heard this.
"Uncle Tian, what if you can't defeat that wild boar demon?”
Tian Hongyue laughed out loud." Xiao An, you must remember that we are humans, not beasts.”
"The biggest difference between us and animals is that humans have smart brains. No matter how powerful that wild boar demon is, we have so many people here and a large number of guns.”
"Even if it has wings, it won't be able to escape!"
Upon hearing this, Huo Wenan finally felt relieved.
"Uncle Tian, is this spirit fruit very precious?”
"Haha, of course."
"An, you haven't heard the news from Beijing, have you?”
"What news?" Huo Wenan asked curiously.
"There is a New Moon Hotel in the capital. Speaking of which, this New Moon Hotel is related to our Old Nine Sects. Back then, the Empress Dowager of the Zhang family married the daughter of the New Moon Hotel, Yin Xinyue.”
"New Moon Hotel? I heard Grandma mention it!"
Huo Wenan's eyes lit up.
"Yes, a few days ago, the New Moon Hotel held an auction. At this auction, a total of three spiritual fruits were auctioned.”
"Do you know how much those three spiritual fruits are worth?”
Huo Wenan shook his head.
"Haha, the first one sold for 1.8 billion, the second one sold for nearly 2.3 billion, and the third one sold for 2.7 billion!”
Huo Wenan's eyes widened.
"This, so expensive?"
Tian Hongyue saw Huo Wenan's expression and nodded in satisfaction.
"That's right. Spiritual fruits can extend one's lifespan. As long as we can obtain this spiritual fruit, we can extend your grandmother's lifespan by several years.”
Huo Wenan's eyes lit up and he said firmly,""Uncle Tian, then we must obtain this spiritual fruit.”
"Okay, An, don't worry."
"Only we know about that place. Others might not have heard of it before…" Tian Hongyue said with a smile.
The group of people continued walking forward.
However, no one was in a hurry.
He was just walking normally.
