“Descendant of an ancient profession?”
Captain Xing was stunned for a moment. A tomb robber, and linked to an ancient profession?
Moreover, he had never heard of any powerful ancient professions.
Zhang Bo Yu also looked at Professor Sun with curiosity: “Teacher, what kind of ancient profession is Zhang Lin a descendant of?”
Professor Sun said: “The Fāqiū Tiānguān!”
Fāqiū Tiānguān?
Captain Xing’s brows furrowed.
The name sounded quite powerful, but what kind of profession was it?
Zhang Bo Yu’s face changed, and he said: “Teacher, you mean the legendary Fāqiū Zhonglángjiàng?”
Captain Xing said: “I do know about this Zhonglángjiàng. It was a military officer in ancient times who was responsible for leading the emperor’s guards, they were quite powerful, could Zhang Lin be a descendant of one of these Zhonglángjiàng?”
In Captain Xing’s eyes, Zhang Lin’s martial skills were so good that he could be a descendant of a Zhonglángjiàng.
After all, only those with high martial prowess were qualified to hold the position of Zhonglángjiàng.
However, Professor Sun shook his head: “This Zhonglángjiàng is not an ordinary one. The Fāqiū Tiānguān were specifically responsible for all underground affairs of the court, such as opening tombs and building mausoleums. Each of them was trained from a young age, they are all skilled in martial arts, and are like fish in water in ancient tombs.”
“Unfortunately, the Fāqiū Tiānguān disappeared as early as the Ming Dynasty.”
“And Zhang Lin’s fingers, they are very similar to the Fāqiū Tiānguān’s unique skill of ‘Double Finger Cave Exploration’!”
“Of course, based on this alone, we cannot be certain that he is a descendant of the Fāqiū Tiānguān. After all, the Fāqiū Tiānguān’s power lies not only in their martial skills, but also in their profound knowledge of feng shui and metaphysics.”
After hearing Professor Sun’s explanation, Captain Xing finally understood why Professor Sun wanted to find Zhang Lin.
The Fāqiū Tiānguān were simply born for archaeological work!
If Zhang Lin was indeed a descendant of the Fāqiū Tiānguān, once he joined the Institute of Archaeology, he would definitely promote the development of Xia’s archaeological cause!
Captain Xing exclaimed in amazement: “I didn’t expect Zhang Lin’s origin to be so extraordinary! Professor Sun, don’t worry, we are doing our best to investigate the whereabouts of these people. Once we find any clues, we will notify you immediately!”
Professor Sun nodded: “Then thank you, Captain Xing!”
After a pause, Professor Sun continued: “Also, I have another request!”
Captain Xing said: “Professor Sun, just say it.”
Professor Sun said: “From the live broadcast just now, we can guess that Zhang Lin and the others should be looking for an ancient tomb. My idea is to ask Dilireba to join Zhang Lin’s team, follow them into the tomb, so that we can also get more information and data about them!”
“This…”
Captain Xing couldn’t help but hesitate. He said: “The ancient tomb is very dangerous, we cannot guarantee her safety. This might not be appropriate.”
Professor Sun said: “After Dilireba wakes up, we can ask her for her opinion. If she is unwilling, I won’t force her.”
“Alright!”
Captain Xing nodded.
Then they continued watching the live stream.
Not long after, Dilireba also woke up.
She had completely forgotten what happened before, until she saw the barrage reminding her in the live stream, she gradually remembered what happened before she fainted.
Thinking of the female ghost’s appearance, Dilireba couldn’t help but feel a sense of fear.
She walked to Zhang Lin, and said gratefully: “Little brother, thank you for saving me. Otherwise, I would have been taken away by that female ghost!”
Wu Tianzhen asked curiously: “Female ghost?”
Dilireba blinked: “Yes! The one we met in the water cave was that female ghost, didn’t you know?”
Wu Tianzhen and the others looked at each other.
They really didn’t know!
After all, they didn’t look back, how would they know there was such a thing.
Da Kui said in fear: “My god! There really is a ghost in there! Let’s just go quickly!”
Wu San Sheng also felt that it was uncanny, so he said: “Let’s go, we have to reach Qián’ér Zhuāng before nightfall.”
After saying that, the group set off again.
After another two hours, the sky gradually turned dark.
They finally reached a village. Fortunately, there was a guesthouse in the village, so everyone stayed there.
After dinner, Dilireba said to Wu Tianzhen: “Tianzhen, lend me your phone, I need to make a call.”
Wu Tianzhen was about to take out his phone, but Wu San Sheng stopped him.
Wu San Sheng asked: “Miss, who are you calling?”
Dilireba said matter-of-factly: “Of course I’m calling the police. They should be able to find me quickly.”
After hearing Dilireba’s words, Wu San Sheng and Panzi couldn’t help but look at each other, both becoming wary.
After all, they came here to rob a tomb.
They couldn’t let the police come too.
So Wu San Sheng said with a smile: “Miss, we didn’t bring any phones with us, you should get some rest early, and wait until tomorrow to see if there are any ox-carts going out, and follow them out.”
Wu Tianzhen was about to say something, but Wu San Sheng pulled him away.
Zhang Lin didn’t say anything, and got up to go back to sleep.
Dilireba was dumbfounded.
What’s going on?
In this day and age, there are still people who don’t have a phone?
It’s impossible, right?
Dilireba was puzzled and couldn’t help but look at the live stream: “Babies, they don’t have phones, and I can’t make calls with this phone, so I guess I’ll have to take an ox-cart out tomorrow.”
A fan said: “Silly! Why don’t you ask the guesthouse owner for a phone?”
Dilireba saw the barrage and her eyes lit up.
Yes.
There are other people!
So Dilireba quickly found the owner, and after explaining the situation, the owner looked at her strangely and said: “Miss, you think I, a farmer who lives in a poor mountain village, can afford a phone? Don’t joke! If you want to make a call, you can go to the supply and marketing cooperative ten miles away, there’s a phone there.”
Dilireba was speechless.
What year is it? A village doesn’t even have a phone?
You have to go ten miles to the supply and marketing cooperative?
It’s impossible, right? Phones aren’t expensive now, there are a lot of phones for a few hundred bucks!
The fans were also arguing amongst themselves.
They were all complaining that it was the 21st century, how could they not even have a phone?
