Chapter 6 "Dog Brother" Training Method
Misunderstanding resolved.
Li Zhi stated his purpose again.
Perhaps because Li Xiaoman was by her side, Xia Siyu seemed to be more confident and said again: "Then take out your article written in oracle bone script and let me see it."
Li Zhi shook his head and said seriously: "That is a priceless treasure, I can't show it to you."
"If you don't show it to me, how can I know if you are lying to me?" A hint of cunning flashed in Xia Siyu's eyes.
Li Zhi looked at Xia Siyu and Li Xiaoman's faces, then said, "Xia, Li, goodbye."
After saying that, he left HKUST directly.
Looking at Li Zhi's hurriedly leaving back, Xia Siyu asked, "Who is he?"
Seeing this, Li Xiaoman asked, "Sisi, you are not interested in him, are you?"
Xia Siyu immediately widened her eyes and said, "Xiao Man, he and I have only known each other for less than ten minutes, and you actually said that I am interested in him? Do you think I am a flower maniac?"
Li Xiaoman smiled and said, "It doesn't matter whether you are a nympho or not, but I have never seen you show such curiosity towards a man."
"You are so brave, Li Xiaoman, how dare you tease me." Xia Siyu immediately opened her arms and was about to hug Li Xiaoman to teach her a lesson.
"Hmm!" At this moment, Ye Fan's voice sounded behind them.
"Two beauties, am I here at the wrong time?" Ye Fan said as he looked at Xia Siyu and Li Xiaoman who were playing around.
"Ye Fan, come and help me with some advice. I just met someone."
Seeing Ye Fan coming, Xia Siyu's eyes lit up, and she immediately told Ye Fan what Li Zhi had just done, and then asked, "Do you think he is a tomb robber?"
It turned out that Xia Siyu was worried that the article written in oracle bone script in Li Zhi's hand was copied from the inscription on the cultural relic. The reason why she consulted Professor Gao Peijun was to determine the value of the cultural relic in his hand.
Any bronze artifact unearthed, whether with inscriptions or without inscriptions, has completely different prices on the black market.
And the more inscriptions there are, the higher the price.
After listening to it, Ye Fan thought for a moment and said, "Siyu, what you said is not impossible. That Boss Li is very suspicious. He suddenly disappeared for a few days, and then reappeared but did not go back to open the store. Instead, he came to our school to find Professor Gao."
Li Xiaoman, who was standing by, sighed and said, "Are you two okay? You suspect each other of being tomb robbers for no reason. I just saw that Mr. Li's clothes are very valuable. He should not be someone who is short of money. Why would he go to rob tombs?"
Xia Siyu said, "Xiao Man, you don't understand this. There are many unscrupulous businessmen like Li Zhi who open jewelry stores on the surface but actually sell cultural relics in secret. Sometimes they can't make up their minds, so they will ask experts like Professor Gao for advice in various ways. Professor Gao has told us no less than ten cases in class. All of them were under the guise of asking for advice, but they were actually conducting cultural relic appraisals behind the scenes."
Ye Fan said, "Now that Boss Li is back, Pang Bo and I will go to his store tomorrow to return the goods. You can go with us and find out more about him."
After listening to Ye Fan's suggestion, Xia Siyu pulled Li Xiaoman's arm and asked, "Xiaoman, are you going?"
Li Xiaoman nodded helplessly and said, "Go, how can I let you, Sisi, take the risk alone?"
Afterwards, on the way to the cafeteria, the three continued to discuss whether Li Zhi was a cultural relic dealer or a tomb robber.
After leaving HKUST and sitting in the driver's seat, Li Zhi still felt a little unwilling to give up.
Then he continued to think about how to get close to Gao Peijun.
I'm afraid the normal way won't work.
He was still worried about asking a middleman to introduce him.
After all, what he had in his hand was extraordinary.
It would be troublesome if someone targeted you.
Li Zhi, who was an amateur archaeologist in his previous life, knew very well how much a truly good thing was worth.
It’s not a question of how much money you have.
It’s a question of how many people have to die to ensure safety.
Li Zhi doesn't really believe in human nature.
Interests are even less worthy of his trust.
Only ordinary people fight for their own interests, while the real ruthless people fight for their dreams. In the past, in order to pursue immortality, many people tried inhuman cultivation methods and eventually killed themselves.
How many people would even use their own sons' blood to wash their bodies in order to ensure their youth.
Li Zhi personally buried his three "close friends" forever underground.
He just wanted to live his life again, but he didn't want to go back to the old ways.
But now, reality seems to be forcing him to go back to the old path.
Is this path dependence?
After sitting in the car for ten minutes, Li Zhi changed his coat, put on a pair of plain glasses, and returned to the science and technology campus again.
I casually bought two books, a notebook and a cup of coffee at the bookstore on campus.
Then he took his books and coffee and followed the group of students to the HKUST library.
Then, relying on the skills he had acquired in school, he followed a student and sneaked in without a library card.
The HKUST library is much larger than the library he attended when he was in college.
The collection of books inside is very rich.
Following the index, Li Zhi quickly found the place where the archaeology-related books were stored.
Then he started from the first bookshelf and began to look for what he wanted, one book at a time.
Half an hour later, Li Zhi finally found a collection of documents on the bookshelf that detailed the oracle bone inscriptions.
As Li Zhi had thought, those document collections were not publicly available books.
Instead, it is internal information compiled by the Archaeology Department of HKUST.
Afterwards, Li Zhi took out all the document collections, chose a secluded corner, took out the article in his pocket, and began to check it word by word against the materials.
By the time the library closed, Li Zhi had only found forty-five oracle bones with clear meanings.
The remaining text is all unparseable.
It is even somewhat different from the characters included in the Oracle Bones Encyclopedia.
Moreover, the forty-five oracle bone inscriptions that can be parsed are not connected into sentences, but are scattered throughout the article.
Not usable at all.
If one misunderstands the practice method, it could even cost lives.
He understood this truth no matter in his past or present life.
At this point, Li Zhi had completely given up on the idea of being able to analyze the content of the article from the university professor.
I left HKUST with disappointment.
The moon was at its zenith when Li Zhi finally returned home. He tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep.
Finally, he went to the study and copied the oracle bone inscription again with a brush.
Then, Li Zhi felt his heart calm down, but he fell into a deep sleep.
It was already past noon when he slowly woke up.
After cooking some dumplings to fill his stomach, Li Zhi went to the store with the newly copied article.
He decided to learn from Brother Gou. Since he couldn't understand them, he simply gave up trying to understand them and treated them as simple pictures.
Maybe one day a flash of inspiration will suddenly come to you, and you will suddenly be able to understand the truth contained in it.
Before that, he also planned to memorize the classics of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism.
