Chapter 415 Wherever Qingqing Goes, I Go
"What are you going to do? Didn't the company start work today, the eighth day of the first lunar month?"
Qing Yanrou looked at Chu Tingbai who was following her and asked in confusion.
"I'll go wherever Qingqing goes. It's not like the company can't operate without me.
Otherwise, am I paying them such high salaries just to support useless people?"
"If you can't lead a team, you will just work yourself to death." Chu Tingbai deeply implements this sentence.
He doesn't want to work himself to death, so he should just lead the team and let the team do the work.
"Okay, I'll just watch while you're here."
As long as it doesn't interfere with his own affairs, Qing Yanrou is happy to take him with her.
After all, with such a worry-free apprentice by her side, she doesn't have to do anything herself and can enjoy the feeling of being taken care of along the way.
Well, very good.
This ancient tomb was discovered in a remote mountainous area with few people.
Local people don’t dare to live in this place, and coupled with the poverty alleviation policy, everyone in the village has moved away.
This time, the archaeological team lived in a house that had been abandoned by the villagers.
It was already past five in the afternoon when Qing Yanrou and the others arrived at the village.
"Just the three of you little brats? Where's Taoist Priest Mingyi?"
The leader of the archaeological team is an old professor over 70 years old, who has also collaborated with Master Mingyi and others many times.
As they are engaged in archaeology, they are bound to encounter strange things. Fortunately, they have Master Mingyi and others to help them, so they trust Master Mingyi very much.
However, seeing only three young people in their early twenties coming over, the old professor couldn't help but feel a little angry and skeptical.
"Hello, Professor Meng. Taoist Mingyi is in seclusion and cannot come. These two are Taoist priests from Yantai Temple. They will be the ones to come this time..."
"Is this a joke?! This tomb is weird. Even if Taoist Mingyi can't come, then we can invite the elders from Baiyun Temple. Why did they invite two young people?"
Professor Meng angrily interrupted Lin Yaoyao before she could finish her words.
"Professor Meng, don't worry. Taoist Master Qing and the others are no less skilled than anyone else in Baiyun Temple. Now, everyone in the Xuan Sect is buying the talismans she draws."
Lin Yaoyao quickly comforted him. She couldn't let Qing Yanrou, who was checking the environment not far away, hear that Professor Meng was dissatisfied with them.
After all, she was the one who called him to help.
"real?"
Professor Meng's mood was a little calmer now, but he still asked back with some distrust.
"How could I dare to ask someone who knows nothing about such a big thing as going to the tomb? Not only would they be of no help, but they might even be in danger. Don't you agree?"
"Well, I bet you wouldn't dare take this as a joke."
Although Professor Meng still had some doubts about the abilities of Qing Yanrou and the others.
But since they were already here, I thought they wouldn't joke about their personal safety, so I had to accept it.
"Hello, Professor. I'm Qing Yanrou from Yantai Temple, and this is Chu Tingbai."
After Qing Yanrou entered the village, she walked around and found that the village was extremely quiet, so quiet that it was a little abnormal.
Although the villagers have moved away, there is still no sound of insects or birds chirping, which is very abnormal.
Even in the winter in the north, it would not be so quiet in the mountains and forests, not to mention that this is still in the south.
"Well, hello, I need your help this time, let's go inside and talk."
Professor Meng saw that Qing Yanrou was modest and well-mannered, so he did not see the girl's face just now.
Now that I can see the person clearly, I find that this little girl is very comfortable to look at and gives people a sense of security.
The last time he had this feeling was by the old man, Taoist Mingyi. Upon seeing this, Professor Meng believed Lin Yaoyao's words 90% in his heart.
"Professor Meng, I heard that not all the villagers in this village moved because the government ordered them to. Are they just eager to leave?"
On the way here, Lin Yaoyao had already told her the general situation of the village.
"This girl told you, right? She doesn't know everything."
Professor Meng asked his assistant to pour hot water for them all, pushed his glasses on the bridge of his nose, and then spoke.
"Most of the people in this village had moved away earlier, and only a few who couldn't afford to move out were still here.
They were the first to discover this ancient tomb and then reported it.
It's strange to say, but the people in this village are always inexplicably resistant to the place where they have been living. They say that living in this village is particularly depressing and they feel anxious all day long.
That's why they tried so hard to move out. In fact, our archaeological team also found something wrong after entering the village."
The archaeological team lived in the houses left by the villagers, but they found that there was no trace of raising animals in the entire village.
Chickens, ducks, geese, pigs, dogs and cows are animals that are raised in most rural areas, but there is no sign that they have ever been raised in the entire village.
This is very unreasonable.
They also specifically asked the villagers, who had raised livestock before, but raising those livestock would not bring them peace.
Since it kept making noises and crying, they had no choice but to compromise and stop raising it.
They cannot raise livestock and all meat needs to be purchased, which is why their village is eager to move out.
"Master Qing, why is their village like this?"
After Professor Meng finished speaking slowly, he felt a little thirsty. He drank a sip of tea before asking Qing Yanrou curiously.
On the one hand, I wanted to see if she really had the ability, and on the other hand, I also wanted to know why livestock could not be raised here.
"Professor, just call me Yanrou. There's something wrong with the aura in this village, and it's not just the village.
Didn’t the professor notice that there wasn’t even a trace of a bird in the entire forest?
Animals have very keen intuition. There must be something here that they are afraid of, which is why they dare not stay here."
Qing Yanrou looked through the window beside her at the endless mountains outside.
It is so weird that such a small village surrounded by mountains does not even have the sound of insects or birds singing.
"What could be so frightening to so many animals?"
Although Professor Meng was skeptical about her statement, he did feel a sense of panic after they saw this village three days ago.
He also found that his temper had become more and more irritable since he entered the village, and he had not heard a single bird singing in the past three days.
"We have to go to the ancient tomb tomorrow to take a look. To be on the safe side, it would be better if the three of us go tomorrow."
"Can you guys?"
Professor Meng had asked the Xuanmen people for help several times, and of course he knew that if those things really existed, they would only cause trouble if they went there.
So he wouldn't force himself to keep up, but looking at the three juniors, he was still a little worried.
"Don't worry, it's okay. Give one to each archaeology teacher. Otherwise, you will be distracted for a long time and it will be easy for something to go wrong."
Qing Yanrou took out a stack of talismans and handed them to him, then said goodbye to him and prepared to go and take another look.
After receiving the talisman, Professor Meng immediately felt that the feeling of panic dissipated a lot.
He looked at the talisman in his hand, sighed deeply, and then handed it to his assistant to distribute it.
He is so old, how could he make such a low-level mistake of looking down on others?
Professor Meng had no idea that the reason he was so irritable just now was because he had stayed in the village for too long.
