Liu Shuyan kept staring at Xie Jun's eyes and found that Xie Jun was a little rude. He immediately shook his hand and said to cut off Xie Jun's words: "Master Xie, don't rush to refuse, but I haven't finished it yet. This archaeological operation is not just to let you be a bodyguard for us, but more importantly, the destination we are going is probably the place you are looking forward to."

, "Hmm?!" Xie Jun looked at MonoShuyan in surprise. The mysterious look on Liu Shuyan's face made Xie Jun laugh and cry. This scholar who was always very scholarly, had no experience in making yin. The expression on his face was a little too much, which would make people feel that he was weird and lost interest in the incident itself.

"Where I'm extremely looking forward to going? Professor Liu, how do you know my wish?"

Xie Jun did not expose Liu Shuyan's tricks, but cooperated to continue the show.

, "You are a warrior! What you want to see most is nothing more than martial arts secrets, right? I think so, right?" Liu Shuyan said proudly, "Pick up the teapot and add tea to Xie Jun and himself."

He reached out and signaled to Xie Jun to have tea.

Xie Jun smiled and nodded in agreement, but did not speak out, picked up the gray pottery cup in front of him and slowly drank the tea.

"According to my speculation, the Chu State fought against Qin Ji at that time, and there was a saying in history that "although Chu is three households, it can be seen that the war between Chu State and Qin State was cruel. The nobles of Chu State had a very bad premonition about the end of the war, so they arranged this idea of ​​retaining inheritance and fire. So, "What kind of place can ultimately avoid the Qin army with deep hatred? Should we find a place like Taohuāyuan?"

Xie Jun nodded and agreed with Liu Shuyan's speculation: "What do you mean is that place I am interested in? That place must have been not a place without people, but a place where people live, or a place where experts who are proficient in martial arts live. Moreover, that place is very mysterious and difficult to enter, just like Taohuāyuan."

Liu Shuyan was stunned for a moment. Before he could say anything, Xie Jun guessed it. Isn’t it that the prepared surprise? Liu Shuyan smiled awkwardly: “Uh, yes.”

"Oh? Then I'm really interested. An ancient martial arts sect? It's interesting!"

, "No, it is not a martial arts sect, but a legendary cave heaven and blessed land. Xiaowei Cave Heaven. People generally believe that Xiaowei Cave Heaven is actually near Changsha. However, after my research, many of the legendary thirty-six cave heavens are not located in the places that people know now. You must know that cave heaven is a very magical place, how can it appear in the intensive activities of people?"

Xie Jun was surprised. "I didn't expect that Liu Shuyan had a deep study of the cave heaven, and this time he went to search for a cave heaven hidden in historical legends. In addition, Liu Shuyan's view on the cave heaven is also very reasonable. There are indeed many cave heavens that are not recorded in the books, perhaps misunderstandings in the name, or intentional misleading. At least, what is known is still preserved on the cave heaven ruins of major sects, and the location is indeed different from the records of ancient books. However, Liu Shuyan's basis is wrong, because he does not know the magic of the cave heaven. Even if there is a cave heaven in the tea room where they are located, there is no right method, and you can't see it in. Therefore, even if the cave heaven appears in the downtown city, it is not a strange thing, and it is not necessarily in a rare place.

"But, how did you determine that it was Xiaowei Cave Heaven? There should be no records in the book, right?"

Liu Shuyan pushed the glasses on his nose, raised his eyebrows proudly, and said seriously: "Based on the speculation of historical books, we can think about it the other way around, that is, where is the Xiaowei Cave Heaven now? According to the current records, we know the location of the Xiaowei Cave Heaven, but the remains and cultural relics left there can be clearly explained that this place appeared after the Han Dynasty, but the Thirty-Six Cave Heaven actually existed in the Shang and Zhou dynasties and even earlier.

At least it should have been used before Qin, but there was no clear statement of the 36 Cave Heavens and Seventy-Two Blessings at that time. The statement of this system was indeed proposed by the Han Dynasty. However, this has nothing to do with the real history of the 36 Cave Heavens. Looking at the long river of history, there are too many secrets buried in history, and there are more speculations from later generations, who are considered the truth by later generations, and thus buried the true truth. This is also the pleasure of studying history."

"It's off topic, Professor Liu." Xie Jun reminded with a smile when he saw Liu Shuyan, who was getting more and more in a state of state as he spoke.

, "Haha, sorry, when you talk about professional matters, it feels like you are back in class.

Let’s talk about the key point, through the exclusion method, we can remove the speculative annotations given by later generations to the Xiaowei Cave Heaven, and then, we can vaguely find some obscure clues in earlier books, such as the limited books such as the Zuo Spring and Autumn Period. Through this method, I spent more than two years searching through all the historical books and even the Taoist books, and basically it is confirmed that the Xiaowei Cave Heaven should be in the current primitive forest area of ​​Shennongjia.

That is, the beginning of Bashan in ancient times, the source of the Chinese epic "The Legend of Darkness". I think maybe "The Legend of Darkness" was circulated from the Cave Heaven of Xiaowei Mountain. Otherwise, how did the mountain people know about the above-mentioned things from six thousand years ago in the Cave Heaven of Darkness? Look at the lyrics, this is basically in line with Taoism, and maybe it has a close relationship with the Cave Heaven of Xiaowei Mountain. It can even be inferred that those mountain people are probably descendants of the nobles of Chu at that time and live around the Cave Heaven of Xiaowei Mountain."

When Xie Jun was in the information room of Baiyun Temple, he also spent some time "studying the so-called ten caves, thirty-six small caves, and 72 blessed lands. Some of them had lost their specific locations early, and many of them were speculations and speculations from later generations. Only the locations of the seventy-two blessed lands were all accurate, because the seventy-two blessed lands were determined after the Eastern Han Dynasty. According to the order of appearance, the ten caves first appeared. Although the names are the same as the current mountain name, all the guardians insisted that those are just the same name, and the real ten caves are in Kunlun, in the closed passage.

The Thirty-Six Small Cave Heavens exist on the earth. Note that it is on the earth rather than on the Chinese land. In other words, some cave heavens are not actually in China, but are just misleading their names. The known cave heavens now basically have no original mysterious effect, and there are only eleven in total. This also requires the Xuantian Cave Heaven that was discovered not long ago. Other cave heavens disappeared from people's sight early. Some may no longer exist, but some are lost under the cover of the magical magic array.

Now, Professor Liu Shuyan actually inferred the existence of a cave based on clues. Xie Jun naturally became interested. Whether it was his own curiosity or his self-consciousness as a descendant of the Qi Sect of China, such things still need to be confirmed as long as possible. Xie Jun thought about it and said that this matter should not be public for the time being. Just go and see it like an adventure."

If the news leaks, it will be another trouble. If you can really confirm the location of Xiaowei Cave Heaven when you go, it will not be too late to notify the National Security Bureau.

"Okay, I admit that I was moved by your words, but you also know that I have just returned from the capital. I want to know the schedule of Zhou's archaeology this time. In addition, during May Day, I need to go to Guanzhong."

Xie Jun thought about it and told him about his itinerary, hoping that there was no conflict with Liu Shuyan's schedule.

"Haha, just say you agree. I also want the archaeological team to set off tomorrow. Unfortunately, this is impossible. The school has to submit an application report here, and the local cultural security department in Shennongjia also has to look. However, I have a classmate there, so there should be no problem, but time still needs it.

I guess it will be mid-May at the earliest, which is a month later. In addition, I need your identity information, which is what you need in the application form. It is best to copy a copy of your ID card for me."

Liu Shuyan shrugged helplessly and suppressed his impatient thoughts, especially after Xie Jun agreed to his invitation and the final obstacles of the archaeological team had been cleared, he became more urgent about this archaeological operation. He fully trusted Xie Jun's ability because the person introduced was Zhang Jixuan, who came to the school as a visiting professor.

"No problem, I will give you a copy of your ID card later. Can I ask for another location? I think my junior sister should go there together."

"Junior sister? What are her specialties? Is it what our archaeological activities need?"

"Well, the main reason is that I need her to experience it. Also, she has a strange beast, and I think we need it."

"Okay, there is no problem with this. She is your junior sister. We are like an extra protector. It's great! In this way, I, my two graduate students, plus Master Xie and your junior sister, have five people in total. If you ask for a guide in the local area, our archaeological team will be fully qualified."

Liu Shuyan said excitedly, his speech speed was much faster, and his eyes were flashing with uncontrollable movements.

"That... Plan 1 is good, but you'll talk about it after your application report is approved. In addition, while there is still time, you master and apprentice will also do some physical training appropriately. In the primitive forest, physical fitness is a very important factor. Even if we are helping with our fellow brothers and sisters, your own physical fitness is also very important."

Liu Shuyan put away the excessive excitement in embarrassment and nodded and responded: "We know, my two students have been urged to train. There should be no problem with physical fitness. If you want to get archaeology, how can you do without a good body? Haha..."
