The archaeological team's camp was built in a canyon, with mountains and primeval forests on both sides. A river swooped down from the mountain stream and rushed past the camp.

The sunset fell from the mountains, and the sunny hillside was shining with golden light, but the shaded hillside had already entered darkness ahead of schedule and the scenery was hazy.

Next to a tent, Ji Wengui, the captain of the archaeological team, and Yang Chen, were discussing something. Ma Tongtong and an elderly female expert were cleaning wild vegetables by the river. It seemed that they were preparing to make supper.

"Oh, I'm so tired, Brother Ning, why aren't you tired?" After rushing all day, Jian Mi was so tired. Before he even arrived at the camp, he sat on the grass and gasped.

Ning Tao said: "I have practiced Kung Fu, and rushing this little road is nothing. Otherwise, I will give you another massage and you won't feel tired."

Along the way, he used his spiritual power to massage Jianmi three times. Every time, Jianmi was so tired that he couldn't walk. Once he massaged Jianmi, his fatigue disappeared. If it weren't for this reason, he and Jianmi would probably still be walking halfway and would not be able to get to the archaeological team's camp.

"Thank you, Brother Ning, but you don't want it anymore. You have been so far away and must be tired. We are all here, so I'll just take a few breaths." Jian Mi said.

"Okay, I'll go over and say hello, you can rest and come over." Ning Tao said, and then walked towards the river.

The mountains and rivers were rushing, and the rushing rivers hit the rocks in the riverbed and made a rustling sound. No wonder Ma Tongtong and the female expert did not hear Ning Tao and Jian Mi talking.

"Dr. Ma." Ning Tao stood behind Ma Tongtong and greeted her.

Only then did Ma Tongtong hear someone calling her behind her, she turned around in a hurry. When she saw that it was Ning Tao, she immediately smiled, "So it's Dr. Ning, why are you here? When did you come?"

While talking, a handful of wild vegetables she placed by the river was suddenly swept away by the water. The older female expert beside her exclaimed, "The vegetables are washed away!"

Ma Tongtong hurriedly reached out to fish for it, but her feet slipped, and she fell down into the river as soon as she leaned.

Ning Tao rushed forward with a steadily, grabbed Ma Tongtong's arm and pulled her back. At this time, one of Ma Tongtong's arms had already pierced into the water.

Ma Tongtong was obviously scared, and her delicate face was covered in innocent colors, not even a trace of blood. If Ning Tao hadn't pulled her, the water flow was so turbulent that it would be possible to drown.

Ning Tao said a little bit of blame: "You can wash away a little wild vegetables and then wash them away. If you go fishing like that, will you be dead?"

Ma Tongtong finally recovered and smiled awkwardly, "You seemed to have saved my life again just now. You are really the savior in my life."

The older female expert coughed dryly, "That, Xiaoma, Dr. Ning, I'll pick some wild vegetables again, you guys can talk."

Ning Tao said: "Sister Dong, be careful, it is not safe in the forest, there are snakes."

The older female expert's name is Dong Qing, who is an ore expert. Last time he encountered an archaeological team that had been poisonous and miasma, he saved members of the archaeological team. He remembered everyone's names.

Dong Qing smiled politely towards Ning Tao, and then left.

"Doctor Ning, why did you come here?" Ma Tongtong asked the same question just now.

"I brought Brother Ning here." Jian Mi appeared in Ma Tongtong's sight, her dark face full of a sunny smile.

Ma Tongtong smiled and said, "It seems that I have asked this a lot. I should have guessed it. Hello, Jianmi."

"Hello, Dr. Ma." Jian Mi also asked, then walked over.

Ning Tao said: "Dr. Ma, have you gained anything during this period?"

Ma Tongtong said, "I can't say it right, I'm a little clue, but there are still too few clues. Come with me, I'll take you to see Captain Ji and Yang Chen."

Ning Tao followed Ma Tongtong to the camp. Ji Wengui and Yang Chen were also surprised. After saying hello, Ji Wengui called out the other members of the archaeological team, and the atmosphere suddenly became lively.

After chatting for a few words, Ning Tao got to the point, "Captain Ji, it's almost half a month since the last time they were separated. Have you noticed?"

Ji Wengui sighed, "I found out one thing, but there are still too few clues. But there is also a good thing. I received a notice that the leader above said that a businessman wanted to sponsor us and provide us with funds. The businessman might have arrived here in the next two days." After pausing, he added, "That businessman is really rich. He asked for our coordinates and said that he wanted to take a private helicopter and he would also bring us more advanced equipment and supplies."

"What businessman?" Ning Tao asked calmly, but he was curious about what kind of businessman he knew about such an unpopular archaeological project, and not only paid for sponsorship, but also came here in person.

"This is not explained above, but no matter who he is, we just need to give us funds. We have been searching in this primeval forest for three years, so we can't just go back like this, right? That's how I'm really unwilling to accept it." Ji Wengui said.

Ning Tao had an intuition in his heart, that is, the businessman was not as simple as Ji Wengui said.

Yang Chen said: "Doctor Ning, come and see what I found a week ago."

Ning Tao came to the place where Yang Chen and Ji Wengui discussed before. A stone used as a table was placed with a modern map, and another one that looked a bit like a brick and a bit like a rock. He then awakened the state of looking and hearing skills of his eyes and nose, and he quickly got the result. It was a fired clay brick. However, after a long period of weathering or the impact of running water, it had lost its original edges and looked more like a flat pebble.

Yang Chen picked up the clay brick and faced Ning Tao with the one placed on the rock.

There is a symbol engraved on the other side of the clay brick, which is a bit like an oracle bone inscription, hatefully vague and difficult to identify. However, even if it is clear, Ning Tao doesn't know what that means.

Ji Wengui said: "I have some research on ancient Chinese characters. At first I thought it was oracle bone script, but it is not. It is a text that has never been recorded before. I initially determined that it is a text of Yin Yueren, so we will call it Yin Yuewen for the time being."

Ning Tao asked: "Where did you find this?"

Yang Chen said: "This is what I discovered by the river. At first I thought it was a stone, but as the intuition of the archaeologists, it was not simple. I dug it out and then found that the other side of it was engraved with words. This discovery made us realize that we have walked a long way for the past three years. Whether it is the Yinyue people or the Mayans, their cities must need water sources. If we had searched along the water sources three years ago, we would have probably found the Yinyue people's city."

Ning Tao's heart moved, "After you reported this discovery, did the businessman come to invest?"

Ji Wengui said: "It is true that after we reported the latest discovery, some people said that a businessman wanted to invest, and asked us to report the coordinates so that the businessman could come." He spread his hands, "Now, we are camping here now waiting for the boss to come."

Yang Chen smiled and said, "No matter who he is, it is a good thing to give us funds. It is better than the termination of this project. We are all engaged in archaeological research. Finding a city of Yin and Yang people is our greatest wish, and we don't care about the rest."

Ning Tao's gaze moved to the map spread on the rock, and there was a circle on it. An arrow extended out of the circle, pointing to a rolling mountain range. He carefully identified it and soon found that the position in front of him was really the position marked by the circle, and the extended arrow pointed to the location where he and Qingzhu dug to the abyss where the White Jade Holy Lotus were located.

He once drew a blood lock next to the mud, but it had been destroyed by the crazy savages. If he wanted to go to the abyss, he could only hike.

"Doctor Ning, what are you thinking?" Ji Wengui stared at Ning Tao. After all, he was a little older and his ability to observe words and expressions was stronger than others.

Ning Tao put away his thoughts, "I don't doubt that you can find a city of Yin and Yang people. You have been searching for three years, and God will not let anyone down. However, I am more worried about your safety. What if you meet a savage?"

Ma Tongtong giggled and said, "Doctor Ning, are you scaring us? We also know the legend of the savages in Shennongjia, but we have been searching for three years in Shennongjia and haven't met one. If we really meet the savages in Shennongjia, it might be scared away by us, right?"

Ning Tao's mind saw the image of the violent Vajra of the Savage of Shennongjia, but he didn't know how to tell them. If he had told them, he would have long suspected that the civilization of Yin and Yang people was in that abyss and met the Savage of Shennongjia, what should they think of him? I'm afraid there would be no friends.

"I mean, but I didn't say absolutely. Otherwise, I'm fine anyway. Can I join you anyway? I'll provide you with medical insurance. If I meet a savage, I can also act as a bodyguard for you." Ning Tao said.

"Okay, I welcome it." Ma Tongtong said happily.

Ji Wengui remained silent.

The members of the archaeological team turned their attention to Ji Wengui. They wanted Ning Tao to join. Having a doctor in such a primeval forest would have an extra life. However, the decision was in Ji Wengui's hands.

Ji Wengui was silent for a moment before saying, "I personally welcome you to join, but I have to ask the leader for such a thing. In addition, the sponsor's opinions are also very important, I have to consult. Dr. Ning, if you really want to join our team, you can wait for two more days, is that okay?"

Ning Tao smiled and said, "Okay, even if I don't join, I will protect you."

Joining is just an excuse for him to stay, and it doesn't matter whether he joins or not. He really wants to see who the sponsor was coming by a private helicopter.

"Doctor Ning, we have a spare simple tent, so I feel sorry for you and Jian Mi to stay in a tent tonight." Ji Wengui said.

Ning Tao said: "No, I have to pick a medicinal material that only appears at night."

"Uh, what kind of medicinal herb is that?" Yang Chen said curiously.

"Night-born flowers." Ning Tao said.
