"Young Master Zhang, I have to say a few words."
"You've done a brilliant job, truly avenging us!"
Da Jinya gave a thumbs up, his face showing excitement.
Burning down their important sacrificial site took a kind of courage not found in ordinary people.
Zhang Tian waved his hand.
"Let's not dwell on that topic. Here are some things we retrieved from inside. Mr. Jin, take a look and tell me how much you'll buy them for." 138 Reading Network
As Zhang Tian spoke, he took out some burial objects from those children and some from the tomb of the Divine Emperor.
There were over a dozen jade pendants.
And some official kiln porcelain and other items.
Zhang Tian took out three pieces of official kiln porcelain.
"These jade pendants are of good quality. Judging by the era, they should be from over four hundred years ago."
"These jars are also excellent."
"Young Master Zhang, I won't be polite then. Thank you again."
Da Jinya said, standing up.
Gratitude appeared on his face.
After all, these items were not cheap, and they were genuine. Zhang Tian's willingness to sell them to him was a sign of respect.
Da Jinya's further inquiry was merely a courtesy.
"Mm, estimate it yourself."
Zhang Tian nodded gently.
Da Jinya knew Zhang Tian understood more than him, so he wouldn't show off.
"For each jade pendant, I can offer a thousand yuan. For the jars and vases, five thousand each. What do you think, Young Master Zhang?"
Da Jinya stated the market price directly.
This price left no room for further negotiation.
Whether he could make a profit would depend on Da Jinya's salesmanship.
"Fine."
Zhang Tian nodded, and Da Jinya happily took the items.
He was confident he could sell them.
After a brief conversation with Da Jinya, Zhang Tian got up to leave.
"Farewell, Young Master Zhang."
Seeing Zhang Tian to the door, Da Jinya maintained a smile.
"By the way, are you interested in joining my group?"
Zhang Tian asked before leaving.
"I'll consider it."
Da Jinya answered decisively without asking what the group did.
The implication was, I don't want to go.
"Alright, I'll await your news. If you're willing, my Nine Gates Group will always welcome you."
Zhang Tian nodded and quickened his pace, soon disappearing from the front of Da Jinya's antique shop.
"Nine Gates Group? The name sounds good. I wonder what they do. I need to go back and research it."
Da Jinya muttered to himself.
He was a person who disliked fighting unprepared battles.
Even if he were to join, Da Jinya would first investigate thoroughly.
Zhang Tian drove towards the familiar Archaeology Institute.
Zhang Tian believed that Da Jinya would eventually agree; it was only a matter of time.
Meanwhile, at the Beili Archaeology Institute.
The sheer volume of cultural relics they had retrieved from the tomb had kept the expert team busy for several months.
They had only recently begun to relax.
Currently, in the courtyard of the Archaeology Institute.
A group of experts were gathered around a stone pedestal.
On the stone盘, a map was laid out.
"It's said that the tomb of King Xian has been discovered in the Nanyun region. We don't know if it's true, but this map contains information about the legendary tomb of King Xian."
"We are currently organizing a team to investigate the tomb of King Xian. Who would like to volunteer?"
Professor Li looked at the surrounding young people with fiery eyes.
Since returning from Jingjue Ancient City, Professor Li had been feeling deeply unsettled.
Fortunately, some of his disciples had survived, which allowed Professor Li to regain his spirit.
Hearing about another major tomb discovery, the surrounding experts hesitated.
The events of Jingjue Ancient City still flashed through their minds.
The strange collapse, the piles of gold coins, and even the peculiar hallucinations, all lingered like nightmares.
Professor Li looked at his colleagues, who were showing signs of retreat. He took a deep breath.
"Xia Guo needs these cultural relics. History needs witnesses, and those ancient artifacts are witnesses to history. We will be the ones to sing its praises."
"Are you truly willing to let our history be plundered by others and become someone else's history?"
"That history needs to be remembered. Are you willing to die with regrets in your old age?"
"You chose this path, and I believe you are all the best. Of course, if anyone wishes to withdraw now, I can agree."
Professor Li said in a low voice.
He didn't intend to obstruct or force anyone.
Instead, he shared his innermost thoughts.
After all, he was advanced in age, but the other team members were not. He needed to consider them.
"Professor Li, I swore under the national flag to make outstanding contributions to our country's historical cause. I will not flinch."
"That's right, Professor Li. Isn't it just the tomb of King Xian? We won't be afraid and won't back down. Don't worry!"
Xiao Guang was the first to speak.
Following him, other team members voiced their commitment.
Looking at the spirited young members, Professor Li's eyes began to water.
"Good! We will rest for a month! Then we will head to Nanyun!"
Professor Li's voice boomed.
A hint of excitement on his face.
With these passionate young people, Xia Guo had nothing to fear in terms of prosperity.
"Great! Then, Professor Li, we'll go and prepare!"
Xiao Guang said, intending to get started on preparations.
Just as everyone was about to rise, hurried footsteps were heard from outside.
A security guard rushed in, out of breath.
"Uh, Director Li, comrades, that person is here again!"
The security guard panted, his face filled with urgency.
However, a hint of joy could be seen in his eyes.
Zhang Tian brought wealth, so why wouldn't he be happy?
"Who's here?"
"Could it be..."
Suddenly, Professor Li thought of something, and his heart skipped a beat.
This person, haven't seen him for a while, why has he suddenly shown up now?
Recalling the map Zhang Tian had given him last time, Professor Li still felt a lingering fear.
Zhang Tian's map was accurate, but the tomb was truly perilous.
"Quick, invite him in."
Professor Li, despite his surprise, immediately instructed.
The other archaeology colleagues also looked towards the courtyard.
Then, Zhang Tian's figure slowly appeared.
As usual, his expression was unreadable, and he was even wearing a balaclava.
"You're here, please have a seat."
Seeing the familiar figure, Professor Li smiled.
Zhang Tian waved his hand.
He slowly handed over a map.
"This place needs it."
Zhang Tian left these words and then walked away directly, without any unnecessary talk.
Professor Li stared blankly at his retreating figure, momentarily lost in thought.
Suddenly, he seemed to realize something and quickly called out.
"Comrade! Are you interested in joining our archaeological endeavors! It's a significant unit of Xia Guo!"
Professor Li extended an olive branch.
A national position, perhaps a dream job for many, though the salary was indeed not high.
"Not interested."
Zhang Tian waved his hand, and he was already leaving the scene.
Professor Li sighed deeply.
As he had expected, he couldn't retain such talent!
"Professor Li, quickly look! What kind of map did he give us this time!"
"Why is he alone this time? It's strange!"
"Yes, quickly look at the map!"
The crowd was excited. The arrival of Zhang Tian, the bringer of fortune, ignited the atmosphere.
Professor Li nodded, opened the map, and upon seeing the markings, everyone was stunned.
This tomb was actually located in Beili!
