Chapter 031 Ancient Chinese Expert
Ye Caiying's virtual full-body image was projected onto the open space in front of Duan Shi, and he greeted Duan Shi with a smile.
"Good afternoon, Xiao Duan. Why are you looking for me all of a sudden? Is there any breakthrough or any difficulty?"
"Good afternoon, Mr. Ye, it's like this..."
Duan Shi gave a summary report on their team's work in recent days. Ye Caiying listened carefully and asked questions from time to time.
When he heard that they had found a stone tablet but couldn't understand it, he excitedly turned around a few times: "Not being able to understand it is a small problem! Just wait, I will send a few ancient Chinese experts to you right away, and I guarantee that you will see them tomorrow morning."
As he spoke, he didn't care that he was still talking to Duan Shi. After some work over there, he quickly gave the order.
Then he came back with a big smile on his face and said to Duan Shi: "Ah, you guys are really the elite among the elites. Your efficiency is amazing! Especially Xiao Liu, you have made a great contribution this time. I will give you a big reward when I come back."
Ye Caiying turned his gaze to Liu Jimeng next to him and praised her highly.
The praise from the senior leader made Liu Jimeng blush with excitement. She quickly thanked him for the compliment, "Secretary Ye, thank you for the compliment. It's all my duty. And this is not just my achievement. Senior Qiao Ji, Team Leader Duan, and Teacher Fang have all contributed a lot."
She looked at everyone around her, "Especially Senior Qiao Ji and Teacher Fang. Without their efforts, I would not have been able to succeed in the first try."
When she mentioned this, Fang Xiuwen shook his head modestly: "It's what it is. This time it is indeed you, Xiao Liu, who made the greatest contribution. What I did was just a little bit of assistance. I really don't dare to take credit for it."
"Hahahaha." Facing their modesty, Ye Caiying smiled heartily, waved his hand, and said generously: "Don't be modest, this success is inseparable from the efforts of all of you. I know it all, and when you come back, there will be rewards waiting for you."
"Thank you, Secretary Ye."
"Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Ye."
Since the leader said so, everyone naturally acknowledged the credit and expressed their gratitude to him.
Ye Caiying accepted their thanks and said, "Okay, I'm going to report the good news. You guys just stay here and we'll conduct more in-depth research when the experts arrive tomorrow."
After he hung up the phone, Duan Shi started to arrange his own work.
"Don't stand here, go clean up the environment here, and make sure not to miss any potential threats." He arranged the work of others first, and then communicated with Fang Xiuwen: "Teacher Fang, do you want to continue your research?"
"Of course." Fang Xiuwen answered him while leading his team to the spiritual energy measuring instrument. "We need all-round energy data of the stone tablet, as well as various numerical changes in the surrounding environment. There is still a lot of work to do."
"Okay, then you teachers can make your own arrangements." Duan Shi nodded, not interfering with the experts' work without authorization. "Xiao Liu, you can go around with Liang Hang and the others first. With you around, we can investigate more thoroughly."
Liu Jimeng didn't waste any words. He took the order and walked towards Liang Hang and others who were waiting on the side. A few people whispered about the plan and walked into the depths of the jungle together.
Seeing that everyone went about their own business, Duan Shi left the stone tablet and walked towards the edge of the camp. He had something to discuss with Qiao Ji. The stone tablet was on the dragon vein, and Qiao Ji would not be used to it if she came over, so he had to stay away from here first.
After reaching the edge of the camp, he said to the Hashihime who was slightly suspended in mid-air, "Senior, I have something to ask of you."
Hearing his voice, Qiao Ji came back to her senses and said, "Tell me, what's the matter?"
"It's like this. I would like to ask you to go outside the mountain tomorrow morning to pick up the ancient Chinese experts who are coming to support us." Qiao Ji can fly and walk in a straight line, so picking people up is fast and convenient. If someone else goes out, they will have to wait until the afternoon to arrive.
Chu Yi thought Duan Shi wanted to ask him for something, but it turned out to be this.
"Okay, it's just a small matter."
"Thank you very much." Duan Shi showed a grateful smile, "Then I'll trouble you tomorrow."
Seeing that he had nothing else to say, Hashihime left the camp and went to scout the surrounding area like everyone else.
Although Duan Shi did not assign her a job, she had nothing else to do here anyway, so she might as well go around and enjoy the scenery.
Once you get busy, time flies by and before you know it it's time to rest.
Because the work has made some progress, everyone put their worries aside and slept soundly tonight.
I had no dreams all night until dawn.
Early the next morning, Qiao Ji said hello to Duan Shi and went straight to the camp at the foot of the mountain to wait for the arrival of the ancient Chinese experts.
Division Commander Zhang Zhen, who was still stationed at the foot of the mountain, received Duan Shi's news early in the morning and immediately arranged for his soldiers to go to the outermost cordon to pick up people. He himself stood in the square, waiting to greet Hashihime.
While waiting, Zhang Zhen adjusted his military uniform from time to time, looking a little nervous.
As the only Nascent Soul cultivator in the world, even if she is a ghost cultivator, Qiao Ji is someone that countless people want to make friends with. Every minute and every second, countless people are trying to contact her.
However, these requests were ruthlessly rejected by the Dragon Team, including the one submitted to Liu Jimeng. No one could break through the Dragon Team's defense and contact the two monks.
That's why he didn't do anything without permission when he met Qiao Ji last time. Seeing that Duan Shi had no intention of introducing himself, he didn't take the initiative to say hello. He didn't even want to make friends, but ended up offending the person.
Although it was a pity that I missed it last time, the opportunity has come now.
Zhang Zhen waited in the square for a few minutes and saw Qiao Ji approaching from the air at a very fast speed from afar.
He finally tidied up his appearance, put on a friendly yet polite smile, took a few steps forward, and waited quietly for someone to come over.
A few seconds after he discovered her, Hashihime arrived at the square.
She glanced at Zhang Zhen who was standing alone in the square, slowed down, and slowly landed in front of him: "Captain Zhang, good morning."
She greeted him calmly.
Zhang Zhen didn't mind her unenthusiastic attitude and said with a smile, "Good morning, Senior Qiao Ji."
After saying hello, Zhang Zhen did not bring up other topics, and directly talked to her about business: "I have arranged for someone to pick up a few experts from the outside. When they arrive, they will be brought in as soon as possible. It shouldn't take long. Please wait a little longer, Senior Qiao Ji."
Seeing that he didn't talk nonsense, Qiao Ji's impression of him improved a little. She softened her expression a little and said to him, "It's okay, I'll just wait here. Has Commander Zhang been guarding here all the time?"
Seeing her take the initiative to bring up the topic of small talk, Zhang Zhen was very happy, but his face still had that close yet distant expression, "Yes, after all, it is a national event, I still have to guard it in person to feel at ease."
Hearing his sigh, Qiao Ji casually praised, "Commander Zhang is really patriotic and dedicated to his work."
Zhang Zhen knew that her compliment was not sincere, but he took it as a sincere compliment. He acted modestly, as if he was being praised too much, and kept saying, "It's all my duty, it's all my duty, it's really not worth mentioning."
Qiao Ji smiled, skipped the topic, and turned to talk about other things: "Did the commander find anything during the past few days?" After she asked this question, she didn't wait for Zhang Zhen to reply, and quickly said: "If it's not convenient to mention it, there's no need to say more."
"Hey, there's nothing to be said about this. It's not a secret."
Zhang Zhen didn't care about Qiao Ji's caution. Even if ordinary people couldn't know, couldn't she know? "Since we blocked Mount Tai, many monsters have indeed appeared, but it's still a hundred years too early for them to break through our blockade."
While despising the evildoers, Zhang Zhen also praised himself subtly.
Qiao Ji was well aware of his little thoughts, but she didn't care. It was just human nature.
Zhang Zhen saw that Qiao Ji didn't react, and he wasn't embarrassed. "On the first night when you all arrived here, we caught a man. He said that he was curious about the mountain closure and martial law, so he sneaked over to take a look. After that, we often saw people snooping around. Some of them were caught, and some were smart enough to escape."
"So how did you deal with it?" Qiao Ji was quite curious about this.
"What else can we do? On the surface, they are all citizens of our country, but those foreigners will be involved in international disputes." Commander Zhang shrugged helplessly. "In the end, we can only interrogate them, detain them for a few days, and then let them go."
"Aren't you worried?" He just let him go? So humanistic?
Zhang Zhen saw the surprise in her eyes and said cheerfully, "Human rights cannot be violated. Moreover," he raised his left hand and shook it with a little pride, "this technology is not something they can break through just because they want to."
Over such a long period of time, the country has analyzed and applied more than just the virtual screen technology. Now in terms of technology, even if other countries use all their hidden means, they cannot do anything to the flower growers.
Chu Yi laughed. She didn't expect that their confidence came from the things she traded.
The man and the ghost chatted idly like this. After more than twenty minutes, the soldier who went to pick them up finally came back.
Chu Yi saw from afar that several fully armed military vehicles slowly drove into the square. Surrounded by these cars is a low-key black SUV, which must be filled with the ancient Chinese experts who came to support.
When approaching Qiao Ji and the others, several military vehicles tacitly dispersed to both sides, allowing the SUV to stop directly in front of Qiao Ji and Commander Zhang.
After the car stopped steadily, the door opened quickly, and two old professors who looked knowledgeable got out of the car swiftly and greeted Qiao Ji and Teacher Zhang happily.
"Senior Qiao Ji, Commander Zhang, hello, hello."
The first old man who spoke was named Xu Wenwei, a national treasure-level expert who has been studying ancient characters for 40 years and has made enormous contributions to the ancient Chinese literature community.
At the same time, he is also the president of the Flower-growing Ancient Chinese Literature Research Society, and he was the one who took the lead in establishing this society.
Zhang Zhen only knew that there would be experts coming to support, but he didn't know that such a national treasure would be sent over. It seems that the things in Mount Tai are not simple, he thought thoughtfully.
Just as Zhang Zhen was lost in thought, another old expert greeted them with a smile.
This expert is called Xie Yimin. He has also been studying ancient characters for decades and is also a professor in the Department of Ancient Chinese Literature at Yanning University, a top university in the field of flower cultivation. During his teaching career, he trained numerous well-known scholars of ancient literature, and his students spread all over the world.
Faced with such old experts, Qiao Ji did not treat them with a cold attitude. She softened her face, showed a gentle smile, and responded to the greetings of the two experts.
Scholars and experts are worthy of respect at all times.
Seeing that the two old experts were absent-minded, Zhang Zhen did not drag them here to chat. He directly said to Qiao Ji: "Since the two professors have arrived, let's leave it to the seniors. I will take the troops back to continue the mission."
"Thank you, Master Zhang. I won't bother you any more."
Qiao Ji thanked him, and after chatting for a while, her impression of Zhang Zhen obviously improved a lot.
Zhang Zhen was excited enough to receive such a thank you. He said goodbye to the three people in a good mood and returned to the base with his subordinates who were on standby nearby.
After they left, Qiao Ji said to the two experts who were waiting patiently, "You two gentlemen have been exhausted from the journey. It's still a long way from here to our camp. In order not to waste time, I will take you there directly."
Chu Yi didn't plan to waste time in these places. It would be much more annoying to let the elderly climb mountains and walk than to let the young people. Therefore, she planned to fly there directly with the two veteran experts to save time, effort and worry.
Xu Wenwei and Xie Yimin looked at each other, wondering how Qiao Ji was going to take them there. However, thinking that she was a cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage after all, there would definitely be no problem, he did not ask any questions and simply nodded in agreement.
Seeing that the two of them had no objection, Chu Yi waved her hand lightly, and the shawl she was holding on her arms automatically flew to their waists, loosely wrapped around their waists to form a safety net. Then, a thin green smoke emerged from under her feet, and in the blink of an eye, it lifted the three of them up and flew into the air.
Xu Wenwei and Xie Yimin were shocked; they didn't expect it to be carried this way. The thin smoke that was visible beneath their feet made both of them feel their hearts in their throats.
But after they got familiar with it for a few minutes, they were not so scared anymore.
And this is really fast, you can get there in about two or three minutes. In order to see the ancient stele as quickly as possible, the two old experts were of course willing to endure these few minutes of "torture".
