A month later, we both officially came out of seclusion.

At this time, Xiaojun was already skilled in the Finger Heart Art and was quite proficient. The most important thing is that she could control herself so that she would not be moved casually and call out divination.

You should know that most people with academic numbers are stuck at this level, and many people have stopped moving forward from now on, and even their previous cultivation has been destroyed.

I have been a primary school student, so it is not difficult to pass this level, but Xiaojun only learned it after adulthood. She passed this level in just one month, which shows how good her talent is.

Du Ling made a very accurate time. Just the day after we left the confinement, she called me again.

But this time, her tone became very urgent.

"Wu Zheng, can you help me now?" she asked, "What happened there is that. Now it's a problem. If you don't do it well, it's more than a dozen lives. Brother, I know you're busy, but this matter can't be delayed anymore."

"Sister, don't worry, Xiaojun and I will go to your place immediately," I said, "Let's meet and talk."

"Okay! Then I'll wait for you", she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

I hung up the phone and looked at Xiaojun, "Go to the Du family."

Xiaojun nodded, "Okay!"

We went out to get in the car and drove towards Xiaotangshan.

At noon, we arrived at the Du family mansion. Du Ling invited us into the study room, closed the door, then turned on the projector, and showed us a top-secret information.

These slides are information about the ruins of an ancient royal city in the Qinling Mountains in the southwest.

I looked at the photos and couldn't help but be stunned.

"Three years ago, we discovered this ruin in the Qinling Mountains. It was covered with all the original forests," Du Ling said. "The part we see in the photos now was cleaned up after more than two years. It is estimated that this is only about one-tenth of the ruins of the entire royal city, and it belongs to the sacrificial area of ​​the royal city."

She changed a picture, and the picture was enlarged and detailed. The three areas of abc were drawn with lines on the picture.

"We researchers can enter areas a and area b, but when we walk in, area c is like a restricted area and our personnel cannot enter at all," she said.

"Why can't you enter?" I asked.

"This place should be a temple or a royal tomb," she said. "Our staff have tried it a few times. After each entry, they will get lost. They will wander around it for three or five days and will return to Area B and will never be able to move forward."

"That's a temple," Xiaojun said, "There's something inside."

I remained silent and signaled Du Ling to continue.

"In the past two years, I have invested 1.6 billion yuan in this project." Du Ling took a file bag and walked over and sat down to look at us. "About two months ago, the boss noticed this matter and sent someone to talk to me, saying that he was entrusting our group to secretly explore the ruins and they provided financial support. The man brought me these information and said that it might be helpful. You can take a look."

I took it and opened the file bag. There were more than a dozen pages of information inside, with eye-catching red "top secret" words covered in the upper left corner.

I took out the information and started to read it carefully.

The first page is a summary report, called "Research on the Existence of the Gu Xiaoyu Kingdom". I glanced at it and continued to look through the information below, including photocopy of ancient books and archaeological photos. All the information is related to the Xiaoyu People mentioned above.

"Sniaoyuren..." I looked at Xiaojun.

"Can I see it?" Xiaojun asked Du Ling.

"Of course," Du Ling said.

I immediately handed over the information to Xiaojun, "Look at it."

"The Xiaoyu people are a mysterious ancient northwest nation, which is not recorded in official history," Du Ling said, "But in some archaeological discoveries of the Xia and Shang dynasties, researchers discovered the name of this ancient country. After summarizing various fragmented data, we can basically draw the following conclusions: First, the Xiaoyu people are located in the Qinling Mountains in the southwest. In the early Xia Dynasty, this was a very powerful nation; second, the Xiaoyu people have wings on their backs, their roars are shocking the sky, and their combat effectiveness is very strong; third, many oracle bone documents and bronze inscriptions from the Xia and Shang dynasties are recorded that the Xiaoyu people have magical techniques that can make people resurrect..."

"Return to life?" My heart moved.

"Yes," Du Ling looked at me, "Return to life."

I didn't say anything, turned around and looked at the royal city on the screen, as if I understood.

For those with high status and power, wealth, beauty and power are no longer important. For them, what else can be more attractive than resurrection?

It doesn't matter whether the Gu Xiaoyu people really have this ability. For the superiors, there is a glimmer of hope, and they don't want to give up.

Forever, you will see what you want, the higher your position, the more you will be.

"The superiors think that this may be the ruins of the ancient Xiaoyu Kingdom. They hope you find this secret. Is that true?" I asked Du Ling.

Du Ling looked at the curtain and said, "That person means to entrust us to explore this ruins and they provide financial support. If it is done, the project will be developed publicly in the future. If it is not done, it has nothing to do with them. It is purely our group's own business behavior and we do not need to bear any responsibility."

She paused, "The superiors attach great importance to this matter. Two billion yuan of funds have been put into our account."

I nodded, "I understand..."

After reading the information, Xiaojun installed the files and returned them to Du Ling.

Du Ling took it and put it on the coffee table, and then said, "I talked to you last year. I originally wanted to ask you to take a look and see if you can't enter Area C and figure out what's going on. Because Area C is too weird. If you can't enter, I must stop the loss in time and can't invest money in it anymore, otherwise I will only lose money in this project. But now, the nature of this matter has changed. A month ago, when I called you last time, the man sent us three national treasure-level experts, formed a scientific expedition team with our people, and entered Area C again. I called you that night, thinking that if you are convenient, I would be more at ease. But I didn't say it at that time."

"What happened to those people?" I asked.

Du Ling sighed, "After they entered Area C, they lost contact. The radio was connected, but no one responded. We sent people in before. If we got lost, the longest record was six days, and people came out after six days. But until today, they have been in for fourteen days, just like the world has evaporated. Moreover, the abnormality occurred in Area C the second day after they entered. There was a huge fog over the sky, and even the remote sensing satellite could not penetrate the fog, which was very strange."

She said as she picked up the remote control and changed more than a dozen slides in a row, "This is a satellite picture from the appearance of heavy fog until today. You see, Area C is completely covered."

I looked at the photos on the curtain and, indeed, there was a blank space in area C and nothing could be seen.

Du Ling looked at me, "Wu Zheng, can you give me a clear idea? Is this ruin related to Xiaoyu Ren?"

Xiaojun also looked at me and waited for my answer.

I took a deep breath and didn't know what to say.
Chapter completed!
