Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, another ten days had passed.
In order to understand more about Tang Zheng's businesses, Mu Hongyan, along with Lin Hu and Fire Phoenix, went to the Ordinary Balance to investigate.
Tang Zheng and Nanna stayed behind. Tang Zheng bought two houses near the school, one for Ye Yuan, and the other for Tang Zheng and Nanna.
Now that Nanna and Tang Zheng were together, it was impossible for Tang Zheng to stay in the dormitory, so he moved out.
During this period of time, a magical scene appeared on the campus of Yenching University. A boy brought a delicate little daughter to class, occasionally strolling around the campus, and occasionally followed by another great beauty.
These three people were Tang Zheng, Nanna and Ye Dingdang.
Li Xiaotian had suddenly disappeared in the past few days, causing Tang Zheng to be at peace for a few more days. Tang Zheng knew that she had gone to investigate Louis's movements.
Louis had disappeared from the face of the earth, so they guessed that the other party had not left Hua Xia yet. They did not know what other schemes he had, so they had to be on guard.
As for the Martial Sect, they did not directly come to find trouble with Tang Zheng. It seemed that they were still investigating the whereabouts of the Demon God and the Third Elder, but they did not have any leads.
The commotion caused by the Martial Arts Assembly had gradually subsided, and no one would point at Tang Zheng as he walked on the road.
Tang Zheng, other than going to class every day, would occasionally discuss archaeology with Professor Qi Shaowen. Other than that, he would either cultivate by himself or cultivate with Liu Qingmei. Of course, he would also spend a lot of time playing with Nanna.
Liu Qingmei had not found a job yet. He used to be a teacher, so there were not many professional jobs. However, she was not in a hurry and worked hard to cultivate every day.
Just as Tang Zheng finished his class and went downstairs, Nanna flew towards him. When he was in class, Ye Yuan looked after Nanna.
"Big brother, where are we going to play today?" Nanna asked curiously. These few days, the little girl had been pestering Tang Zheng to play in many places in the capital.
Before Tang Zheng could reply, Li Xiaotian walked over with a dark face and said in a deep voice: "Tang Zheng, there's news."
"What news?"
"Louis and Wales went to South Yunnan."
"Hey, what are they going to South Yunnan for?"
Although their whereabouts were secretive, they were still foreigners. In the end, they were unable to escape the Li Palace's intelligence network.
"I don't know. Their whereabouts are mysterious, and their schemes are not small."
Tang Zheng frowned, he could not figure out the other of Tang Zheng's goal.
"I'm going to South Yunnan. Are you coming?" Li Xiaotian asked.
Before Tang Zheng could answer, his phone rang. It was a call from Professor Qi Shaowen, asking Tang Zheng to go to his office.
"I'll go to Professor Qi's office first. We'll talk in detail later." Tang Zheng said. After getting along with him for a while, he had a good impression of Qi Shaowen. This little old man talked about archaeology in a serious manner, but he was an upright person and was indeed knowledgeable.
"Big brother, I'll go too." Nanna said reluctantly. Now, she no longer called Tang Zheng brother Godly Doctor, but directly called him brother. This way, it would not cause unnecessary trouble.
"Alright, let's go."
A moment later, the two of them arrived at Qi Shaowen's office. Qi Shaowen was studying an antique carefully. He raised his head and saw Nanna. He asked curiously, "Tang Zheng, whose little girl is this? She's so cute."
"She's my little sister. She's playing in school, so I brought her along," Tang Zheng said.
Nanna nodded at Qi Shaowen obediently. "Hello, grandpa. Are you my big brother's teacher?"
Qi Shaowen laughed. "This little girl is quite smart. Have a seat. I have something important to talk to you about."
"What is it?"
"Do you still remember that I mentioned to you that there was a new archaeological discovery in South Yunnan?" Qi Shaowen asked excitedly, as if something had excited him.
Tang Zheng remembered. Qi Shaowen did mention it to him some time ago, but he did not take it to heart.
"What new discovery?"
"Hehe, this is the biggest archaeological discovery in recent years. I have a feeling that it will shock and even turn the archaeological world upside down."
Tang Zheng's curiosity was piqued. He waited quietly for him to reveal the secret.
"Our country's satellite reconnaissance found that there are many tall mysterious stone statues in the South Yunnan mountains. They have never been detected before. Maybe it's because of the advancement of science and technology."
"Mysterious stone statues?" Tang Zheng was shocked. His heart thumped wildly. He subconsciously thought of the guardian deities of the Wu Tribe, the four stone statues that were about ten feet tall.
"Yes, this is a new discovery in the archaeological world. The Hundred Thousand Mountains has always been a blind spot in the archaeological world because of the rampant miasma, swamps, and ferocious birds and beasts. In the past, many archaeological teams wanted to go in and explore, but none of them returned. Therefore, no one in the archaeological world went to explore that unknown mysterious area." Qi Shaowen said regretfully.
After a pause, his eyes lit up again. He continued, "But it's different this time. This time, we really made a big discovery. The four stone statues are very tall. They must be the work of the ancient people. But why are they in the South Yunnan mountains? There must be many secrets behind it. As long as we can solve these secrets, it will be a great event in the archaeological world."
Seeing how excited Qi Shaowen was, Tang Zheng felt as if his heart had fallen into an ice cave. He was certain that the four stone statues detected by the satellite must be the guardian deities of the Wu Tribe.
As for why the satellite had only detected them now, it was not because of the advancement of science and technology. It was because Tang Zheng had destroyed the prohibition of the South Yunnan mountains. Thus, everything was exposed to the light of day.
Tang Zheng could not help but feel regretful. If he did not destroy the prohibition, the Wu Tribe would not be able to cultivate. This was a paradox. At this point, there was no use regretting. The key was how to fix it.
He thought for a moment and said, "Professor Qi, didn't you say that the South Yunnan mountains are full of dangers? In the past, the archaeological teams have never returned. We can't put ourselves in danger just because of this news."
Qi Shaowen refuted, "Which profession is not dangerous? In the past, we stopped exploring because we did not have conclusive evidence. Now that we have solid evidence, we can't just give up. Archaeology is a profession with many risks. We often have to go to places where ordinary people can't reach. Therefore, in addition to professional knowledge, we need to have a strong body. You are very good at it. You are so good at martial arts and have a natural sensitivity. You are born to be in this profession. "
"The higher-ups have made a decision. This time, they will send an archaeological team to South Yunnan to investigate. We didn't break into the South Yunnan Mountains before. This time, we will not give up until we reach our goal." Qi Shaowen said heroically.
Tang Zheng's expression had become very ugly. If this was the case, wouldn't the Wu Tribe be exposed? If that was the case, he did not know whether it was a blessing or a curse.
"Tang Zheng, what's wrong? You look so pale. Are you not feeling well?" Qi Shaowen asked with concern.
Tang Zheng quickly shook his head and smiled awkwardly, "I'm fine."
"Tang Zheng, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. I will participate in this archaeological expedition as well. Originally, you didn't have a chance, but you are my disciple. Of course, I will fight for this opportunity for you. So, come with me." Qi Shaowen patted Tang Zheng's shoulder and said.
Undergraduate students were not qualified to participate in this level of archaeological expedition. If it were not for Qi Shaowen, the higher-ups would not have agreed to this request.
"Don't feel burdened. Although this expedition is dangerous, as long as we are careful, it will not be a big problem." Qi Shaowen thought that Tang Zheng was afraid, so he comforted him gently.
However, Tang Zheng's heart skipped a beat. Since this archeology was imperative and he had no way of stopping it, then following the archeology team was a good idea.
He said gratefully, "Thank you, Professor Qi. I will use this opportunity to learn humbly."
"Haha, I knew I wasn't wrong. Get ready, we'll set off tomorrow." Qi Shaowen smiled in satisfaction.
Tang Zheng held Nanna's hand and left the office. Li Xiaotian and Ye Yuan were waiting downstairs. Upon seeing Tang Zheng, Li Xiaotian asked impatiently, "I'm going to South Yunnan to track down the whereabouts of those two people. What are you going to do?"
Li Xiaotian could not care less about the Heaven-shocking Bow for the time being.
"I will go to South Yunnan with the archaeological team tomorrow. You can go first. We will keep in touch when the time comes." Tang Zheng said.
"You're going to South Yunnan with the archaeological team?"
"Yes, it's said that the archaeologists have made a new discovery, so Professor Qi brought me along to broaden my horizons." Tang Zheng said calmly, not mentioning the stone statue.
Although Li Xiaotian had entered the Ten Thousand Huge Mountains, he did not reach the settlement of the Witch Clan.
"Alright, then I'll take my leave first. I'll contact you when the time comes. Tang Zheng, I'm leaving again, why don't you give me the Heaven-shocking Bow now? "Li Xiaotian said, unwilling to give up.
Tang Zheng was silent, the Heaven-shocking Bow was his life saving treasure, how could he give it to her?
Seeing that Tang Zheng was ignoring him, Li Xiaotian curled his lips helplessly, turned around and left, and snorted: "I will definitely take back the Heaven-shocking Bow."
Seeing that Li Xiaotian had walked far away, Tang Zheng then whispered to Ye Yuan about the discovery of the satellite and the purpose of the archaeological team. Ye Yuan was shocked when he heard this.
Ye Yuan had learned a lot in the past few months. It was not the ancient times anymore, technology was advanced, and weapons were incomparable. No matter how strong a person was, they would not be able to contend against modern weapons.
If the Witch Clan were to be discovered by the archaeological team, they would most likely be studied as Xiao Bai mice. That would be terrifying.
"Lord Envoy, what should we do now?" Ye Yuan asked helplessly.
Tang Zheng warned: "Immediately return to the Ten Thousand Huge Mountains and inform the elders of this news. See if the elders have any countermeasures, I will follow the archaeological team and act according to the situation. In short, we must not let the Witch Clan be exposed."
Ye Yuan also had no good ideas, and could only accept the order worriedly: "Yes, Lord Envoy, I will definitely pass on your orders to the elders. But... Can we really turn the situation around this time? "
