Chapter 295: Encountering Old Acquaintances in a Foreign Country

On the tablet is written in golden cinnabar in horizontal and vertical lines some words that I can't read at all, which seem to be oracle bone inscriptions. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

But these are not the points I pay attention to, what surprises me the most is the appearance of this tablet, including the text on it, and the ancestral plaque I saw in the phoenix's house in Huilongzhai many years ago, exactly the same!

However, in the case of not being sure of the identity of the other party, I naturally can't show too many doubts.

At the moment, he could only look at it left and right: "Professor, your house is well furnished, looking at this spotless appearance, it is estimated that there is a very capable hostess in the house, right?" ”

"Haha, I'm ashamed to say it, I'm not married!"

Professor Wu replied as he poured tea.

"What...... What, you're not married? ”

I looked at him with wide eyes, a look of disbelief in my eyes.

"yes, is there a problem?" Professor Wu glanced at me casually and asked a little puzzled.

"Oh, it's okay, it's okay."

Suddenly, I felt that my performance just now seemed to be a bit out of shape.

Maybe it feels like this house is too clean, which makes people a little hard to believe that this is a single man's home.

"Oh, it's fine."

Professor Wu replied calmly, and then changed his words and asked indifferently: "You said earlier that you were looking for me to discuss academic issues, what kind of academic issues are you?" ”

I rolled my eyes, sat on the chair next to Professor Wu, and responded sincerely: "That's right, we want to write a graduation thesis, and I chose the topic of Xiangxi, since you are a history professor, you must have a different opinion on the development history of Xiangxi, so I took the liberty to come over to ask you for advice." ”

As soon as Professor Wu heard me mention Xiangxi, his originally smiling face instantly froze, but he quickly regained his composure, but the change in his expression at this moment was fully visible to me, who was well versed in the Zhu You Wangqi technique.

The curiosity about him in my heart also became stronger.

After all, among the four major families, I have crossed paths with the people of the Wang family and the Long family, but the people of the Wu family, except for a side uncle Wu Mingming, I have never seen the other Wu family, and my understanding of the Wu family is even more pitiful.

Seeing that I mentioned Xiangxi, Professor Wu cleared his throat and said loudly: "Xiangxi, haha, Yiyang, you came to me to ask about the development history of Xiangxi, which is the right person, I am the authentic Xiangxi man!" ”

Professor Wu looked at me with a smile on his face as he spoke.

"Really, that's really a coincidence, I'm also from Xiangxi, I don't know where the professor is from Xiangxi?"

I tried to knock him on the side to see if I could get some useful information from his answer.

"You're an ancient soldier?" After listening to my answer, Professor Wu began to look at me with some vigilance.

"Yes, I am a child in the mountains of Guzheng County, and now I am successful in my studies, so I want to make a little contribution to the development of Xiangxi, write a paper about Xiangxi, and let more people understand the peculiar customs of Xiangxi."

I responded with sincerity on my face, while a pair of eyes looked at Professor Wu's face, observing every subtle change in his expression, which turned into factors in my favor.

However, this time he was very calm, his face did not change significantly, and his mouth exclaimed: "Your idea is very good, I fully support your idea, why don't you start discussing it now?" ”

Good!

I responded briskly, and then said succinctly: "Xiangxi is a place where witch culture is prevalent, and its history is so long that it can be called the first in China. ”

"After I entered the house just now, I noticed that there was a plaque in the professor's house, which seems to be related to the Zhuyou family in Xiangxi, why don't we start with this plaque?"

As I spoke, I pointed to the black plaque that sat quietly in the main hall.

"Yiyang, Mingren doesn't say dark words, it seems that you are also a knowledgeable person?" Professor Wu squinted at me suspiciously.

"Well, it's not a secret, I'm from the Gu Zhan Bai family, I believe the professor has already guessed it!" I just got straight to the point.

"That's right, from the first time I saw your name, I thought that you might be from the Bai family, and you probably expected that I was from the Wu family in Xiangxi, right?"

"Otherwise, you wouldn't have been staring at me for so long during class that day, if it wasn't for your sexual orientation, but it must have been something between us."

The professor looked at me indifferently, without the slightest timidity on his face, and didn't seem to care about being exposed by me.

I squeezed a harmless smile at him, and said calmly: "The four major families in Xiangxi are originally one, and they are all inherited by the Ten Witches of Lingshan during the Chiyou period. ”

"Originally, I really wanted to talk to the professor about the graduation thesis today, but when I saw the plaque at the professor's house, I simply raised the doubts in my heart on a whim."

"So we are a family, so we don't talk to two families."

"My grandfather's name is Bai Renshi, I don't know if you've heard of it, professor?"

"Bai Renshi, the Zhuyou master who crisscrossed Xiangxi decades ago?"

As soon as Professor Wu heard his grandfather's name, he immediately stood up from the stool with a swish.

"That's right, it's him, I don't think the professor knows his name?"

In fact, I was a little surprised that the professor knew his grandfather's name, after all, he had been teaching in this university for nearly 30 years, and I thought that his understanding of those people in Xiangxi was very limited.

"Of course I know Bai Renshi, he is a great character, he was already a famous master in Xiangxi when he was twenty years old, but he was low-key, he lived in seclusion in Baishuizhai at the age of thirty or forty, and he has only asked about the world since then."

Professor Wu told my grandfather's glorious past like a treasure, and even some details that even I, as a grandson, had never heard of.

I used to think that my grandfather was very powerful, but I didn't expect him to be so famous, which was completely beyond my expectations.

"You...... You know my grandfather so well? I looked at the professor in front of me, who was less than fifty years old, in disbelief, and was full of surprise.

"Of course, Wu, Wang, Bai, Long, these four Zhuyou families are the same qi and branches, and I, as a professor of history, must also have a certain ...... on the development history of Xiangxi Zhuyoushu."

Do you know the once-in-a-century curse? I interrupted the professor impatiently, and couldn't wait to ask about the curse.

Originally, I came here purely to write a thesis today, but I accidentally talked about Zhu Youshu, and everyone talked openly and honestly about the development of Zhu Youshu in Xiangxi, but I was really afraid that an old pedant in the history department like Professor Wu would be endless.
