Although he had some understanding of the abilities of immortal cultivators, Xiao Tian was still shocked.○
Xiao Fan really came too quickly.
When he heard Xiao Fan say on the phone that he was in Europe, he asked his secretary to notify the relevant departments to hold a meeting on time at three o'clock tomorrow afternoon.
Unexpectedly, not long after he hung up the phone, Xiao Fan appeared directly in Ouchi and came to his official residence.
Xiao Fan drove in, and the Ouchi Security Office gave him a special pass, which allowed him to enter and leave the Ducheng at any time without undergoing any inspection. This is the highest level of pass. So far, no more than a hundred people have received this treatment.
.
The reason why he went to so much trouble is that Xiao Fan didn't want too many people to know that he was an immortal cultivator.
Letting everyone know that President Xiao Tian has a brother who is an immortal cultivator may not necessarily be a good thing. Once it is known to the Xuanwu Realm and the Blood Tribe, it will probably bring unnecessary trouble to Xiao Tian.
But even if there was a small delay, it was enough to surprise Xiao Tian.
Even if Xiao Fan immediately boarded the special plane and rushed here as soon as he hung up the phone, he couldn't have arrived so quickly.
The escape speed of the great monks in the late Nascent Soul stage is definitely beyond the imagination of ordinary mortals. What's more, Xiao Fan is proficient in the wind escape technique and is considered outstanding among the monks of the same level. I am afraid that compared with the ordinary ancestors in the spiritual awakening stage, it is also
Not to mention more concessions.
"What's going on?"
Xiao Fan asked directly without any polite greetings.
In order not to cause a fuss among the people around him, Master Xiao used the art of disguise to skillfully change his appearance by twenty years, making him look about the same age as Xiao Tian. In this way, no one would wonder why President Xiao
His brother is much younger than him.
As for the personal guards who met Master Xiao that night, how can they still have such clear memories after such a long time?
I'm afraid that in their minds, President Xiao's brother is what he is now and has never changed.
"That's right. As I told you, a large spiritual vein was discovered near the Snowy Plateau not long ago. People from the Xuanwu Realm informed us that they would mine spiritual stones within three months, and asked us to mine the spiritual stones within three months.
Move all ordinary people away from the central area of the spiritual vein, and do not hinder the cultivation of immortals
Therefore, in the past two months, we have seized the time to relocate, and we have tried our best to relocate some cultural relics... As a result, experts discovered an ancient temple that had been hidden for many years on a snow peak on the east side of the plateau.
I encountered some very strange things inside..."
Xiao Tian personally made tea for his brother while introducing the situation.
"Be specific."
"Let them tell you, they have been to the scene." Xiao Tian nodded, and then said to the secretary beside him: "Inform everyone to come over for the meeting, right away."
"Yes, President!"
The secretary responded respectfully and immediately walked to the desk to make a phone call.
Adhering to the principle of handling special cases, the expert team was directly responsible for the President's Office and was extremely efficient. In less than an hour, the archaeological experts who had just dispersed gathered again in the small conference room next to the President's Office.
Xiao Tian personally accompanied Xiao Fan to the conference room.
In addition to archaeological experts, several senior military generals also attended the meeting.
Such a large relocation operation needs to be completed within three months. It is impossible to achieve the goal without using the army. In order to ensure the personal safety of the vast majority of citizens in the relocation area, coercive measures sometimes have to be taken. Faced with the tough demands of the cultivators
, such a relocation operation will never allow the emergence of nail-biting households.
What surprised Xiao Fan was that he actually discovered an "immortal cultivator" among the archaeological team.
This is an expert who is about forty years old. It can be seen from his seat that he is the leader of the archaeological team. Xiao Fan sensed extremely weak spiritual power fluctuations from his body. He should be an entry-level disciple in the Qi training period.
level.
However, after Xiao Fan used the power of his spiritual mind to investigate this person, he was immediately relieved.
This person should be an ancient martial arts master.
When ancient martial arts masters reach an extremely high level, they can often break through automatically and enter the ranks of low-level cultivators, which is equivalent to the level of low-level disciples in the Qi training period. But that's all. Without the guidance of real cultivators,
You have to stop at this level of achievement throughout your life and cannot go any further.
Among the mortal group, this is very remarkable. It not only means strong fighting power and healthier body, but also means a lifespan far longer than that of ordinary mortals.
As long as there are no accidents, a hundred-year lifespan will never be a problem.
Everyone was also very curious about the gentleman who came in personally accompanied by the president. Of course, on such an occasion, no one would reveal their curiosity and even conceal their eyes well, otherwise it would be rude.
"Everyone, this is Mr. Xiao, who is also an archaeological expert and has extensive research on the history and habits of immortal cultivators..."
Without any pleasantries, Xiao Tian introduced Xiao Fan's "identity" straight to the point.
Naturally, many experts disagree with this.
The people sitting in this conference room now are already the best archaeological experts and historical experts in the country, but they have never heard of "Mr. Xiao". As for President Xiao's introduction that he is an archaeological expert, that is simply nonsense.
Is there an archeology expert they've never even heard of?
"Which organization did Mr. Xiao work for before?"
The archaeological expert who practiced ancient martial arts asked very politely.
Even in front of the president, we have to question it.
The difference between experts and politicians is still very big.
Xiao Fan glanced at him and said with a smile: "Dr. Tao, this question is not the point. Please get to the point. What exactly was found deep in the snow-capped mountains?"
With the power of Xiao Fan's spiritual power, he knew almost everything in the minds of these ordinary mortals. Everyone here had almost no secrets about him, and they just casually called the experts' names casually.
Dr. Tao was about to speak, but Xiao Tian's eyes swept over him sternly and said in a deep voice: "Dr. Tao, we don't have much time to argue. Please get to the point!"
Dr. Tao was surprised and couldn't help but nodded.
What the president said makes sense. It doesn't matter who this Mr. Xiao is. What matters is that there is less than half a month left before the three-month deadline stipulated by the Jinpeng people. We must seize the time, otherwise it will be difficult to convert the ancient building.
Everything in the temple was evacuated safely.
The lights in the conference room dimmed, and the experts began to play the video of their entire inspection in the ancient temple.
Xiao Fan was no stranger to the ancient temples on the snowy mountains. He had once seen the temples where the masters practiced hard in the depths of the snowy mountains. They were really snow-sealed and isolated from the world. Only eminent monks who were truly determined to seek enlightenment could
Only then can we let go of everything in the world and hide in such a place outside the world to practice quietly.
Experts said that this ancient temple is almost deserted, with only two old masters practicing hard in the temple. During the short freezing season every year, believers from hundreds of miles away will travel across mountains and rivers to send gifts to the masters in the temple.
Necessary daily necessities, and burn incense in the temple to pray for good weather and smooth life in the coming year.
Similar ancient temples are not unique on the snow-covered plateau.
However, the age at which this ancient temple was built far exceeded their expectations. According to records in some ancient books in the temple and scientific measurements of the buildings, experts discovered that this ancient temple has an extremely long history and has been around for centuries.
It was built thousands of years ago.
"Tens of thousands of years? Is it 20,000 years or 30,000 years? Or 40,000 years?"
Xiao Fan interrupted the expert's introduction, stared closely and asked.
Whether it is 40,000 years, 30,000 years or 20,000 years, it has far exceeded the inheritance period of Plateau Buddhism. Even according to the oldest legends, the earliest origin of Plateau Buddhism can only be traced back to more than 10,000 years ago.
The expert in charge of the introduction looked at Dr. Tao and swallowed, not knowing how to answer Xiao Fan's question.
Dr. Tao smiled bitterly and said: "According to carbon isotope testing, this ancient temple was built at least 30,000 years ago, and maybe even older..."
Although carbon isotope measurement is a very scientific method and is generally not error-prone. However, an ancient Buddhist temple built 30,000 years ago is still completely beyond the common sense of the experts here. Because human civilization with written records has so far
That is only thousands of years. The origin of Buddhism is even later. As for the origin of Buddhism dating back more than 10,000 years ago, it is completely mythical and has no scientific basis.
Xiao Fan did not show any surprise, but nodded slightly.
"Aside from the year when this ancient temple was built, what else did you find in the temple?"
Dr. Tao glanced at him and then said: "We also found such a sign and a...maze in the temple..."
When talking about "maze", Dr. Tao obviously hesitated. He seemed to think that the definition of "maze" was a bit vague and not enough to cover their findings.
The archaeological expert responsible for playing the video freezes a pattern and displays it on the wall of the conference room.
Everyone else had seen this pattern before, and they were not too surprised. Xiao Fan, who had been calm and composed, suddenly contracted his pupils.
Golden-winged Dapeng!
This is clearly an image of a golden-winged roc.
Although it is just a portrait, it is full of majesty, and the aura of a king who dominates the world is ready to be breathed out. Especially the glittering golden feathers all over the body add a lot of wealth and aura to it.
The expert switched to several different pictures, all of which were images of golden-winged rocs in different shapes. However, the wings of the rocs in two of the pictures were not shining with gold, but shone with silver, and were as big as golden-winged rocs.
The golden color of the Peng bird is very different.
However, no one pays much attention to this detail. This may just be a different style of painting, and there should be no other meaning.
"Plateau Buddhism has many legends about the Garuda. Among them, the most famous heroes are said to be the reincarnations of the Garuda..."
The expert introduced casually.
Xiao Fan's eyes stayed on these frames for a long time.
"Okay, tell me what the maze is about?"
After a while, Xiao Fancai slowly said. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novels are better and updated faster!
