Yang Xiaoling's story is very long, but Huan Xin is definitely a good listener. Different from the stories she heard in the past, Huan Xin only felt that Yang Xiaoling's story was quite interesting, so she did not interrupt her during the whole process, just like this in Kunlun.
Deep in the mountains, in this dark cave, listen quietly...
Later, Professor Yang came to Qiannan several times almost every year, and it became Professor Yang’s second home. Over the past few years, Professor Yang has gradually moved from an ordinary department level to a leadership position, with slightly better conditions.
Things were getting better, and Professor Yang also came up with the idea of bringing mother and daughter to the city.
Over the years, the girl has never complained, and it seems that following Professor Yang is a choice she will never regret. But more than ten years have passed, and the baby girl has grown up into a teenage girl.
In this cottage, it is not a problem. After all, the girl knows that there is still a big world outside, a big, big world.
This is what Professor Yang has always thought about, and he couldn't bear to let his daughter live in that secluded mountain, so on Xiaoling's thirteenth birthday, her father brought her back to live in a prosperous city.
Originally, Professor Yang wanted to bring Xiaoling's mother with him, but Xiaoling's mother refused to agree, saying that she was used to the life here and would not be able to integrate into the complex society if she went out, so Xiaoling reluctantly followed her father.
, came to the city.
After Xiaoling came to the city, Professor Yang cared for her in every possible way. In addition, his eldest son had already been admitted to college, and the relationship between Professor Yang and his first wife had not been good over the years. After Xiaoling came here,
Professor Yang had divorced his wife before, so he had more energy to take care of Xiaoling.
Xiaoling, who had just arrived in the city, was naturally not used to it, and everything she saw was strange. However, Xiaoling had been very smart since she was a child. After several years of careful training by Professor Yang, Xiaoling also relied on her own efforts to get into the university where Professor Yang was.
In college, Professor Yang often introduced people to Xiaoling as the child of a relative in his hometown. In this way, the two of them were often together without arousing anyone's suspicion.
Also in the year when Xiaoling was admitted to college, Professor Yang and Xiaoling also received bad news from Qiannan: Xiaoling's mother passed away.
The two of them rushed to the village in southern Guizhou without stopping. Seeing her mother pass away, Xiaoling burst into tears. Originally, Xiaoling and Professor Yang had already agreed to take her mother to the city when Xiaoling was admitted to university.
Here, the family reunited happily, but fate was such a coincidence that Xiaoling was admitted to college and her mother left her forever.
When sorting out his mother's belongings, Professor Yang discovered that her mother had left them a damaged map, and her mother also mentioned in the letter that being pregnant with Xiaoling had already violated the taboos of the ghost country.
The mother also used secret techniques to allow herself to last for eighteen years before receiving this punishment. Seeing that Xiaoling has grown up now, the mother no longer cares about her wishes, so the mother left them.
The letter also mentioned that there is a secret technique of resurrecting the dead among their ghost tribe, which is hidden on this damaged map. My mother said that as long as the other nine copies of the map are collected, the ruins of the ghost country can be found, and the same can be found.
This secret technique of bringing back the dead.
Professor Yang was deeply shocked by his mother's description. The words "resurrection from the dead" undoubtedly shocked Professor Yang, but he believed deeply in what his mother said, so after burying his mother, Professor Yang also stayed at his mother's funeral.
Scientific research and excavation work began at the ruins of a ghost tribe.
Under the circumstances at that time, Professor Yang also opened up various connections and applied for this project. He and Xiaoling were both determined at the time. As long as they put together the remaining fragments, their mother would be able to be resurrected.
So the information about the ghost country was unearthed in central Henan, and Professor Yang became famous in the industry for this. However, just when he felt that all progress was being made, the project was stopped by the superiors for unknown reasons.
.
But Professor Yang's team at that time was also deeply attracted by this unprecedented civilization, so after everyone discussed it, they decided to conduct research at their own expense. Many people also determined that they would devote their lives to studying the ghost country, and one day they would definitely
It will be famous forever.
So Professor Yang led these people out of their original units and carefully studied the matters related to the ghost country. This is what Li Muyuan and others come back to the Kunlun Mountains to search for every year.
Professor Yang and others who left the unit are also divided into two groups. One group will search for the descendants of the ghost country in China, while the other group will search in the Kunlun Mountains based on the existing information.
Professor Yang naturally wanted to search for the broken map of the Ghost Kingdom across the country, and the Kunlun Mountains was left in charge of his right-hand assistant Li Muyuan.
After seven years of hard work, Professor Yang has really collected a lot of map fragments. Of course, some of the fragments have never been traced, but now that science has progressed, Professor Yang has gone to foreign countries to develop restoration techniques, and added
By comparing satellite cloud images, it was only this year that the specific location of the Ghost Country ruins was determined.
The reason why Professor Yang was able to piece together these fragmented maps in such a short time was Xiaoling's greatest contribution. After all, she was the only person who knew the characters of this ghost country, so it was easier to crack it than ordinary people.
Quite a few.
After determining the direction, those who had followed Professor Yang for several years also saw hope. They just felt that their persistence was about to see rewards. So this year, Li Muyuan's mountaineering team can be said to be exceptionally strong. They almost
People from the entire research institute came out in droves and came to the foot of Kunlun Mountain.
In fact, there is a secret that no one knows, that is, there are actually two copies of the map, and the other map can only be understood by people from the Ghost Kingdom, which is the map in the Kunlun Underground Palace.
But now that this map is in Professor Yang's hands, even Xiaoling can't remember what it says.
After telling this story, Qing Xin also let out a long sigh with emotion. Although the story was very touching, Qing Xin also knew that there must be some things that Xiaoling had not told yet, but Qing Xin was only curious about one thing now, which was this group of people.
People consume a lot of money every year, so where do these people who only engage in learning come from?
After Xiaoling heard Huan Xin's question, she frowned and said, "I don't know very well about this. Dad has been talking to them all the time. I only know that the one who has been supporting us all these years is a person named Lai. As for this person
Who it is, I don’t know.”
The surname is Lai? Huan Xin couldn't help but feel a little bit in her heart, wondering if it was that old man. If it was him, then this old man must have come here for the secret technique of "resurrection from the dead" in the Ghost Kingdom.
Qing Xin thought that only by finding Professor Yang would the truth come to light! But in the cave buried deep underground, where is the way out?
While the two were talking, Qing Xin suddenly felt a ray of light coming from the distant passage. She turned around with new instincts and saw the outside of the cave. I don't know when it was filled with blue butterflies, but not a single one.
The butterflies all emit a kind of blue light, and this heart-wrenching scene can definitely be described as aesthetic.
Seeing these blue butterflies, Huan Xin also felt that these butterflies seemed to only appear at a certain time, so she lowered her head to look at her watch. It was now half past five in the afternoon, so she turned around and asked Yang Xiaoling: "Do you remember when you entered this place?"
What time is it in the cave?"
Xiaoling frowned and recalled for a moment, and said with some uncertainty: "It seems to be evening, when it is getting dark."
Huan Xin also knew it well, and he felt that he should be able to find other ways out here.
