Wen Li is going to participate in a program related to archaeology. Tan Xiaoxiao is very happy for Wen Li and even bought her a small cake that night to celebrate.
She wouldn't be jealous like Tian Yuzhi.
Wen Li's efforts were no less than hers, and Professor Mu's temper was so strange, yet she was deeply liked by the professor. Moreover, Wen Li could still maintain first place despite having to film and even have fortune telling done. Apart from feeling envious, she really couldn't find any reason to be jealous.
"I heard that Mangbei Mountain is very desolate. I don't know if it's easy to buy things there. Maybe we won't be able to eat small cakes for the next few months."
Wen Li found it somewhat amusing.
"It shouldn't be that tough. After all, it's a documentary, and it's such a big ancient tomb with people all around. We won't be short of food."
However, Tan Xiaoxiao's concerns were not unfounded, because archaeology is indeed dangerous and arduous.
The tomb they were going to was rather strange, and there was no record of it in history. Even experts couldn't determine which dynasty it belonged to, only that it was very likely an imperial tomb.
In the following days, Mu Shuxin often asked Wen Li to come to his office for special meals. Miao Miao was already on summer vacation. After learning that Wen Li would be coming over often, she pestered Mu Shuxin to come over every day. Then she would seriously feed Wen Li, forgetting about her grandfather for a moment.
When they arrived at the airport, Miaomiao insisted on being held by Wenli, and Mu Shuxin's eyes were so sore they could practically soak cabbages in water.
Fortunately, Miao Miao hugged her grandfather at the last moment; otherwise, Mu Shuxin probably wouldn't have been able to sleep for the next few months.
The production team arranged first class for the two of them. As soon as they boarded the plane, Mu Shuxin said sourly, "I didn't expect Miaomiao to like you so much. She used to say she wanted to come see you every day at home."
Wen Li explained with a smile, "Children all have spiritual energy. They can naturally sense who is good and who is bad. Before, his soul was wandering outside, and I summoned him back. Subconsciously, he felt that I was the safest person for him."
I don't know where Mu Shuxin is, but I feel a pang of sadness in my heart.
After flying for two and a half hours, the plane finally arrived at a city near Mangbei Mountain, 1,500 kilometers away.
The production team arranged a special car early on, and the two of them, master and apprentice, finally arrived at Mangbei Mountain before dark, despite the swaying and staggering motion.
Mangbei Mountain has a large area of vegetation and forest. As soon as Wen Li stepped into the vicinity, she could feel countless spiritual energies, and in the basin deep in the vegetation, she could faintly feel purple energy.
Wen Li affirmed, "The surrounding area is a dragon vein, teeming with birds and beasts, and if I'm not mistaken, there are many snakes and beasts near the cemetery."
"Yes, the tomb was first discovered by two tomb raiders who found the entrance and went inside. They walked around for a whole day but couldn't get in, which scared them so much that they called the police. In the end, the rescue team went through a lot of trouble to pull the people out and reported it to the relevant departments."
"As soon as a tomb was opened, many snakes and insects crawled and guarded the entrance."
Wen Li looked around and said, "This tomb is extraordinary; it's the first time I've ever seen one like this."
Mokusuke immediately looked over.
Wen Li quickly explained, "I used to perform rituals with my master and have seen many tombs. We are a legitimate archaeological team."
Only then did Mu Shuxin look away.
Wen Li breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that if she had spoken a word later, Professor Mu might have sent her in without hesitation the next second.
The production team provided two tents for Mu Shuxin and Wen Li. The conditions were simple, but at least they had a place to shelter from the wind and rain.
Wen Li had been traveling all day and fell asleep in the tent not long after lying down.
The next day, birds and insects chirped, and a faint fragrance filled the air. Wen Li was awakened by the sound of wood bundles and firewood.
Wen Li suddenly opened her eyes and looked at the curtains around her, only then realizing that she had arrived at Mangbei Mountain.
After quickly getting ready, Wen Li came out of the tent, but soon she discovered that cameras had been set up around her.
Mu Shuxin said, "The rest of the experts and interns have arrived."
The variety show "Searching for the Past" has a total of twelve episodes, each corresponding to an ancient tomb from a different dynasty. Each episode features three experts and three interns, but in reality, there are hundreds of staff members involved.
Mu Shuxin and the other two experts knew each other. The other two were men, both of whom were older. One was named Mei Congyun, and the other was named Tang Yide. The two interns accompanying them were selected from schools.
After exchanging pleasantries, the group set off for Mangbei Mountain with their tools on their backs.
Tang Yide and Mei Congyun's two disciples are named Wu Chi and Su Mingzhang, both of whom are doctoral students. They were shocked to learn on the way that Wen Li was still a freshman in college.
Then Mu Shuxin explained, "I haven't supervised graduate or doctoral students for several years. Wen Li is the most outstanding student I've ever supervised. Her grades have always been number one, and her appreciation ability is no worse than mine."
Upon hearing this, Wu Chi and Su Mingzhang's faces immediately showed a hint of respect.
Both of them come from families with a long history in archaeology, so they are well aware of Mu Shuxin's status in the archaeological world. Among living archaeological experts, Mu Shuxin is second to none.
A student who can elicit such praise from Mu Shuxin must be quite knowledgeable.
The two of them didn't seem to recognize Wen Li yet. They felt that the person in front of them was inexplicably familiar, but they couldn't remember where they had seen her before.
Su Mingzhang said, "For Junior Sister Wen to receive such high praise from Teacher Mu, her academic achievements must be very high. I wonder if her family is also involved in this field?"
The two racked their brains, but they really couldn't think of anyone they knew with the surname Wen.
“My dad and eldest brother manage a company, my second brother works in the arts, and my third brother is currently in the military,” Wen Li said honestly. “I only came into contact with these things after I went to university. Professor Mu values me and often gives me extra tutoring.”
The two: ...
Wu Chi and Su Mingzhang lowered their heads and moved a little further away from Wen Li, not saying a word to each other on the way.
This scene made the three experts burst into laughter.
Mei Congyun said, "Tsk, you're already discouraged?"
The two: ...
Mei Congyu added, "Your junior sister is so capable; there are even greater challenges awaiting you in the future. This is nothing compared to what's to come."
Wu Chi and Su Mingzhang exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with sympathy for each other.
