Chapter 201 The King of Qin's Bone-Illuminating Mirror
"Professor Chen, Shirley must have told you and Professor Hao about the situation in China, right?"
Cheng Feng poured tea for the two of them and said softly.
Professor Chen adjusted his glasses and sighed, saying:
"Xiao Yang did mention things happening back home. We originally thought that after the catastrophe, all the evil spirits and monsters would be wiped out."
The idea is good, but the reality is that it grows internally, impossible to eradicate completely.
At this point, Professor Chen angrily continued:
"These parasites will be eliminated by the people sooner or later; their arrogance won't last long!"
"Professor Hao is right, their arrogance won't last long, but we still need to be careful during this period."
I think it would be safer for you two to use your illness as an excuse to rest at Shirley's place for a while longer.
Cheng Feng offered heartfelt advice to the two professors.
Both of them had a sincere love for history, and involving them in those shady matters would be a waste of resources.
Hao Aiguo didn't speak, but looked at Professor Chen.
The two were both teacher and friend, and Professor Chen usually made the decisions.
Professor Chen sighed and said:
"What you said makes a lot of sense, Xiao Cheng, but I'm already this old."
I still want to take advantage of my mobility to do what I can for the research of our country's history.
Cheng Feng sighed inwardly. People of this era, regardless of their profession, all share the same belief.
That is to do everything in my power to make my country better.
Cheng Feng was once like that, but after coming to this world, all those past experiences vanished.
Ultimately, this world is just a similar flower, not enough to make Cheng Feng abandon everything to contribute.
"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. Xiao Cheng, I want to thank you. Thank you for helping to break the curse on the Ghost Cave."
That's what allowed this old body of mine to live a few more years.
Professor Chen changed the subject, his eyes filled with gratitude as he spoke to Cheng Feng.
He and Hao Aiguo had discussed this matter with Yang Xueli and learned that Cheng Feng was not actually cursed.
But without saying a word, they chose to help them go to the dangerous ruins of the Demon Kingdom.
"Professor, there's no need for such formalities between us. If it weren't for your permission back then..."
I didn't even get the chance to join the research institute, and I still received several months' salary!
Cheng Feng laughed and joked.
The two professors smiled knowingly; they knew perfectly well that Cheng Feng, with his abilities, would never be interested in such a small salary.
After the three of them drank a few more sips of tea, Yang Xueli, who had escorted Hu Bayi and the other two upstairs, came downstairs.
After getting to Cheng Feng's side, she sat down on the same sofa with him.
"What are you talking about?"
After Yang Xueli sat down, she asked curiously.
"It's nothing, Lao Hu and the others have made all the arrangements?"
Cheng Feng poured a cup of tea and placed it in front of Yang Xueli.
Yang Xueli nodded: "Yes, I had Susan prepare everything I needed for daily life in the room in advance."
"That's good!"
While the two were talking, Professor Chen and Hao Aiguo exchanged glances.
They all looked somewhat troubled, but finally Professor Chen gritted his teeth and spoke:
"Xiao Cheng, there's something Aiguo and I would like to ask you for help with."
Professor Chen's words caught the attention of Cheng Feng and Yang Xueli.
"Oh? What kind of help do you need, Professor Chen? Please tell me!"
Cheng Feng didn't make any grand promises, as he would be embarrassed if he couldn't fulfill Professor Chen's request.
Professor Chen first stood up and took a folded newspaper out of his trouser pocket.
After unfolding it, Professor Chen handed this page of the newspaper to Cheng Fengdao:
"Xiao Cheng, take a look at this news."
"it is good!"
As Cheng Feng spoke, he took the newspaper from Professor Chen's hand. It was a Daily Mail article from five days ago.
There was a news article circled in the text.
The gist is that a priceless treasure from a mysterious Eastern country was auctioned off to a wealthy Chinese businessman for an astronomical price.
The ocean-going ship that the wealthy merchant used to transport his treasure sank.
In the end, a large sum of money was wasted.
"Professor Chen, what do you mean?"
After reading the news, Cheng Feng handed the newspaper to Yang Xueli and asked Professor Chen a question.
Professor Chen began to explain:
"Xiao Cheng, this wealthy businessman has some connection with me. He asked me about this treasure when he bought it."
So I know some inside information.
Cheng Feng was not surprised by this; Professor Chen was able to single-handedly lead a major category of historical research.
You'll naturally develop some connections.
At this moment, Yang Xueli also finished reading the news in the newspaper and spoke up:
"I've heard about this too. It's said that the wealthy businessman gave up ownership of a gold mine for this treasure."
Cheng Feng thought to himself, "Good heavens, this is a gold mine! This treasure must be extremely valuable."
"Xiao Yang is right, but this treasure is worth it."
Hao Aiguo said firmly.
Cheng Feng and Yang Xueli looked at Professor Chen with curiosity, wondering what the wealthy businessman had traded the gold mine for.
"Xiao Cheng, Xiao Yang, have you ever heard of the Qin King's Bone-Illuminating Mirror?"
Upon hearing Professor Chen's words, Cheng Feng immediately thought of CT scans. He had undergone these scans quite often when he injured his leg in the past.
The so-called Qin King's Bone-Illuminating Mirror functions similarly to a CT scan.
Legend has it that after unifying the six kingdoms, King Ying Zheng of Qin ordered the collection of treasures from all over the world.
The Qin King's Bone-Illuminating Mirror is one of them.
There are countless legends about it.
For example, the Qin King's Bone-Illuminating Mirror can reveal the bone structure of a person, which is even more amazing than a CT scan.
There is also a legend that this mirror can reflect people's hearts, and that the First Emperor used this mirror to discern whether those around him harbored rebellious intentions.
Moreover, this Qin King's Bone-Illuminating Mirror can expose demons and monsters, and has the effect of warding off evil.
"No wonder that wealthy businessman was willing to exchange a gold mine for it. If it is the legendary Qin King's Bone-Illuminating Mirror, then everything makes sense."
Cheng Feng nodded and sighed.
Seeing that Cheng Feng knew about this item, Professor Chen didn't continue explaining, but instead said directly:
"This Qin King's Bone-Illuminating Mirror is priceless, both in terms of its historical and research value."
So, I'd like to ask you, Xiao Cheng, to go to the place where that ship sank.
Let's see if we can salvage it.
Since the matter had already come to this point, Professor Chen had no choice but to bite the bullet and make the request.
After a moment's thought, Cheng Feng asked:
"Professor Chen, where did that ship sink?"
"The South China Sea sank when it passed through the Coral Spiral area."
Upon hearing this, Cheng Feng frowned.
He was very familiar with this place; the underwater tomb in the Xisha Islands was not far from this coral spiral area.
He had heard a boat captain mention it when he went to the underwater tomb with Chen Wenjin and the others.
This area is a no-man's-land in the South China Sea, close to the unfathomable depths of the South China Sea.
The so-called "no man's land" refers to the central area bordering Vietnam, the Philippines, and the South China Sea.
The water here is unfathomably deep, with countless reefs, complex seabed topography, and numerous whirlpools.
"Professor Chen, could this wealthy businessman have done this on purpose? As far as I know, that area of the sea is practically uninhabited."
Neither cargo ships nor fishing boats will go there.
