The two laborer classmates were about to split open, leaning on their shovels in shock as they looked at Tan Xiao. Was the BGM really not misplaced?

Tan Xiao had to ignore them and pretend to be calm. Accompanied by the festive BGM, he chanted:

"Red pen records, black pen writes off... No worries forever, please accept the payment."

This was a marriage document. After Tan Xiao finished singing, he burned the documents, with two copies each. The ashes of the paper rolled up with the wind and were evenly sprinkled on the bottom of the grave.

Professor Mo's two disciples immediately got goosebumps. This landlord game was actually useful.

But they still didn't quite understand after listening. From the song, they could only tell that Tan Xiao had burned some gifts. But with the music of the landlord game, they couldn't help but ask: "Could it be that the two buried below were... gambling addicts?"

They originally wanted to say "gambling ghosts", but didn't dare to say the word "ghost" after thinking about it, as it was quite scary.

Hearing this, Tan Xiao smiled and sang another verse for Pusanu and Cheng Xueying:

"Can't finish singing 'Guan Ju', let alone dare to sing 'Zhou Nan'. On the islet of the river. The fair and gentle maiden, the gentleman desires to woo."

The melody was melodious and quite ancient. The Peacock God tilted his head to look and couldn't help but gently clap along with the music. After the song ended, he said, "No pledge of white hair in life, the bones continue together in the same coffin in death. The mandarin duck score is complete, jointly soaring in flight."

Thinking back to the gift list now, what could Professor Mo's two disciples not understand?

One was a Song tomb, the other a Ming tomb. Why were the bones picked and coffins combined? It turned out the gentleman had feelings and the lady had intentions, wanting to get married!

Such a magical netherworld wedding left the two dumbfounded. Besides the wedding being magical, it was also quite amazing for Tan Xiao to preside over it. The business scope of this Chu shaman classmate was really quite broad now.

This night had no stars or moon. In the mountains and forests, only the bright illumination lights were working hard. A gust of night wind blew, and the light bulbs flickered with a crackle.

In a place the two couldn't see, Pusanu and Cheng Xueying also looked at each other and smiled. Leading the newlywed documents, they bowed gratefully to Tan Xiao and Kong Xuan, performing modern etiquette, and chanted, "For a thousand years, ten thousand years, may you be without trouble."

......

Recently, Nanchu had a deep connection with ancient tombs.

Under the anticipating gazes of many, at the latest press conference held by the National Cultural Heritage Administration, the progress and discoveries of recent important archaeological projects were introduced. This included the Nanchu tomb site that had caused some discussion recently but had no substantive news released.

This tomb was discovered during the construction of the subway in Nanchu City. After rescue excavation, the preliminary work was a great success. After discussion, it was confirmed that the tomb owner was Emperor An of Chu from the Warring States period.

It is said that when you discover a Chu tomb, there are more Chu tombs around it. This is a characteristic of Chu tombs. Within a few miles around Emperor An of Chu's tomb, there were indeed traces of other Chu tombs.

This tomb group with Emperor An of Chu's tomb as the main one had extremely high archaeological value. At present, a large number of cultural relics had been rescued and unearthed. Next, the excavation team would continue to survey it and the surrounding areas, organizing a large-scale scientific archaeological investigation.

At the same time, there were also plans to build a museum on the original site.

After introducing a series of news, at the end of the press conference, the spokesperson said, "On behalf of the excavation team, I would like to thank the following units and experts for their cooperation and assistance in the excavation work."

He read a list of units, then said, "...Chu Province Bureau 404, Mr. Xiong Hui, and Tan Xiao, a student from Nanchu No. 1 Middle School. Thank you to the above units and personnel for their great help in this excavation."

The press conference ended here.

Topic: A royal tomb was dug up in Nanchu! Awesome, awesome!

Main post: As a Nanchu native, I had heard before that this might be a higher-level tomb. Everyone here was saying it was a princess or prince's tomb. I didn't expect it to be a Warring States Chu emperor's tomb, and it hadn't been robbed! It's really awesome. I searched and found that this is unprecedented. The only two previously discovered Chu emperor tombs had both been visited by tomb robbers. PS: Cursing those damn tomb robbers in passing.

1L: The team leader is an archaeological big shot. Really awesome. It's only been a few months and they've already confirmed the tomb owner's identity. In my impression, this is really... too fast!

2L: Because part of it had already been completed by the subway? Just kidding, just kidding!

3L: I'm also watching the news. Did you guys notice the spokesperson's thanks at the end? There was actually a student from Nanchu No. 1 Middle School. Shocking, can high school students also participate in tomb excavations?

4L: High school student?? When I was in high school, I was dreaming every day, while others were already going to dig Chu emperor tombs??

5L: Hahaha, it's not as exaggerated as you guys say. I also watched. Later, a reporter also asked, saying that this student is a Nanchu folk culture descendant. Because many Chu shaman elements appeared in this tomb, they asked him to help take a look. It really corresponded with the text and pictorial records in the tomb, thereby assisting in accelerating the confirmation of the tomb owner's identity.

6L: That's still very impressive... This Chu emperor sounds so mysterious. I looked it up and found that the Chu state had the same lineage as the Shang dynasty. In my impression, the Shang dynasty was also very mysterious and scary.

7L: Yeah, the ancient Chu region was very shaman-worshipping. Even now, there are still many remnants of that. It's also quite magical that it has been passed down for many years and can still correspond now. I really want to know the details of their archaeological discussions. I heard there will be a documentary.

The customs of the ancient Chu state were dug up and discussed by everyone. People are always very interested in this kind of mysterious culture. As they discussed, they inevitably also dug up the business of this student - that is, Tan Xiao's family.

Everyone agreed: Hmm, folk culture really has a long history.

51L: Wait!! Tan Xiao, isn't this the student who collaborated with the Zhurong Band on "Leaving Fire" some time ago? The video link is here. The official recording just came out today. I really love this live performance!

52L: Shocked, it really is. I had forwarded this video before. The atmosphere is great. I also sighed that the collaborating boy was quite good-looking. It turns out he's still in high school.

53L: Hmm? No wonder he also looked familiar. I had also seen this student. I went to visit his family when I was traveling in Nanchu before. I even took a video of him performing a shaman ritual and bought a few mask keychains and paper tapes. They look quite nice. [Image] [Image]

Also, the food at his family's place, I'm willing to call it the treasure of Nanchu. Absolutely amazing, absolutely amazing, absolutely amazing. It's so delicious! [Image] [Image]

54L: Finished watching the video. The drumming is simply amazing!! How come I feel my blood boiling? There are even peripherals. I want to buy, I want to buy! Also, can I say he's quite good-looking? Someone tell me, how long until he turns eighteen?

55L: I'm also from Nanchu! I want to say that his mother Tan Chunying is quite impressive too. She's a locally renowned artist who adapted ancient shaman dances into dance dramas and square dances. She performs at some events in our city. I've also seen her son as a supporting performer, didn't expect him to grow up so fast [drooling]. Their family's food is really delicious, it's just a pity they closed the shop, can't eat it anymore...

56L: [Image] The official account of Nanchu No. 1 Middle School also quickly issued an announcement to claim him, haha, it turns out the archaeology team even sent a thank you letter.

57L: It's normal, if it was our school participating we would also immediately publicize it, feels so proud.

58L: LOL, Tan Xiao didn't accept media interviews, but their principal did accept an interview with local media, emphasizing in every sentence: our Tan Xiao only went "grave digging" after finishing his homework.

59L: I saw that too! It's said that Tan Xiao himself has very good grades and only assists in his spare time. I thought, what else, go during class?

60L: ?? Other people's extracurricular life

......

The excavation of Emperor An's tomb is considered one of the major discoveries in the archaeology field of Nanchu and even the entire Huaxia in recent years. This press conference attracted attention from all sides and had a lot of buzz.

As soon as the related content was released, it caused a stir from academia to society.

Nanchu culture entered a bigger spotlight, and Tan Xiao's name inserted among that string of official units was indeed a bit different, so it's no wonder it also attracted some attention. No one noticed that there was also a "Xiong Hui" mixed in, thinking it was some expert they didn't know.

And after the collaboration video of Zhurong Band and Tan Xiao from earlier was dug up, it got another round of hot forwarding. Because it was a small-scale local performance, it was mostly seen by Nanchu locals and band fans with limited previous spread, but this time it broke out of the circle.

Along with that, netizens also dug up many of Tan Chunying's past performance videos.

After some viewing and discussion, it made many people become interested in Chu shamanism and even the entire Huaxia shaman culture.

The biggest benefit for Tan Xiao's family was that their remaining inventory of tourist souvenirs like paper tape, talisman paper, mugs, etc. instantly sold out...

Tan Chunying exclaimed that they finally got to ride this wave! She hurriedly had the factory produce another batch to see if they could sell some more while it's hot.

If it wasn't for Tan Xiao's studies being important and the family temporarily suspending tours, they could probably attract quite a few tourists.

And among the ever-present crowd coming to check out Kong Xuan at the entrance of Class 3, there were quite a few more coming to see the modern-day shaman. Although Tan Xiao was already well-known at school, this was taking advantage of the hype to see something new.

Not to mention his classmates. Tan Xiao didn't usually hang out closely with many classmates since he spent his free time on the family side business. But who would have thought he quietly went to do archaeology, they all exclaimed he had hidden depths.

"I'm your deskmate!!" Lin Yang howled, "I didn't even know!! I only found out from the news!"

If the "unit" wasn't clearly stated as Nanchu No. 1 Middle, he would have thought it was someone with the same name.

Searching his conscience, if Lin Yang himself had participated in such an awesome project, he really couldn't act like nothing happened at school.

During this time, Tan Xiao truly showed no signs of anything related, even when he performed with Zhurong Band, he mentioned that more. After all it was a public performance and he got autographs for people.

How could his mouth be so tight!

"Because I signed a confidentiality agreement," Tan Xiao dryly pointed at Kong Xuan beside him. His real deskmate didn't know, but, "My other deskmate also didn't know."

Kong Xuan: "..."

He glanced at the seat under him and remained unmoved.

Lin Yang was also in disarray, "Okay, but this is also, this is also too... awesome." He didn't know how to describe it either.

The classmates all excitedly joined in and struck up conversation with Tan Xiao.

"Tan Xiao, did you go into the tomb? Did you see the Chu emperor himself?"

"The burial objects must have been super luxurious? Were there terracotta warriors?"

"There must be mechanisms in the tomb, the Chu emperor rising from the dead!"

"Didn't they say ancient kings would use living people as sacrifices... ah, and have pandas sacrificed too, did you see anything special?"

Tan Xiao didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said, "No rising from the dead, and no pandas, only a snake spirit guarding the tomb that I subdued."

Everyone laughed together.

LOL, snake spirit, Tan Xiao is so funny.

Only Kong Xuan looked at them speechlessly, "..."

Tan Xiao didn't notice at all. After all, Kong Xuan sat in the front (sort of), he just thought in his heart that he could only spout nonsense. If he had to make up a more scientifically rigorous story on the spot, he might not even be able to do it!

The head teacher Ji Huiming also came to the class and called Tan Xiao out from the enthusiastic crowd.

"Come, come, Tan Xiao, come chat with me for a bit." Ji Huiming had long known about Tan Xiao going to assist, and now that it was broadcast, with a student from his class on the news, he was also in high spirits and shared in the glory.

Ji Huiming took Tan Xiao to the office, "Tan Xiao ah, in a while it will be our school's 60th anniversary celebration, and we need to put on an evening gala then. You should definitely sign up for a program, right?"

The classmates had joked about this with Tan Xiao before.

Now after the fermentation from the archaeology press conference, Ji Huiming was seriously discussing this matter with him. A program with Nanchu characteristics that can also be counted as intangible cultural heritage, if not this then what?

Tan Xiao had often been asked to perform at school since he was young, and even Tan Chunying had been invited to perform at the schools he attended. He didn't find it unusual and said, "Sure, are there any requirements?"

His family's program list was not short...

Do you want to see exorcism, praying for rain, worshipping heaven or summoning gods?

Drumming or shaman dance, or variety performances like climbing knife mountains and crossing seas of fire?

Just order whatever you want.

"Of course we want your most distinctive one. I've also read many posts, the most classic is drum music and dance right?" Ji Huiming thought of something and his eyes even lit up, "Hey, you can find a few classmates to collaborate with you too... forget it, you're the expert, experienced in performance in this area. I'm an outsider so I won't interfere with an insider's work. And I really feel that the dance your mom created has depth and visual appeal."

What's popular online now with high praise are none other than the drum music accompaniment and Tan Chunying's shaman dance.

Just the drum music alone, without the Zhurong Band singing like last time, was obviously a bit monotonous. If it was paired with dance, it would be much richer. Moreover, the Chu Shaman dance has been promoted by Tan Chunying for many years, especially the snake dance, which is even being danced as a square dance.

Tan Xiao understood: "I get it."

"Then I'll sign you up." Ji Huiming registered him in a seemingly authentic manner. There was only Tan Xiao's name on the notebook, indicating this was an early recruitment. "Our class is counting on you, the backbone of the arts! By the way, what about your deskmate, do you know if he has any talents? He looks like he does."

When it came to performances, besides Tan Xiao, the first person Ji Huiming thought of was Kong Xuan.

Although he didn't know if Kong Xuan had any talents, it was very obvious that just his face alone was enough to attract attention. No matter what he did on stage, he would definitely receive a lot of cheers. This was simple logic.

As long as he wasn't tone-deaf, Ji Huiming felt that Kong Xuan could definitely sing a song or something.

Tan Xiao: "..."

What does it mean by "looks like he does", and why did even Teacher Ji call them deskmates??

"I don't know, Kong Xuan and I aren't very close." Tan Xiao told the truth.

Although that's what he said, Tan Xiao always felt that based on his experience interacting with Kong Xuan, he didn't seem like the type of person who would be willing to perform. Should he let him go on stage to perform a tantrum?

Ji Huiming took a sip of tea and clicked his tongue: "I see that Kong Xuan isn't fighting with you anymore, and you even helped each other before. Plus, you live so close, don't you hang out together during breaks?"

"I've never even seen him on Huaxi Road." Tan Xiao felt a bit hollow after saying it himself. That should be the case, right? In any case, no one greeted him. Maybe Kong Xuan saw him and refused to say hello, which made him unhappy before.

"Forget it, I'll ask Kong Xuan." Ji Huiming pretended to be calm, but felt a little sad in his heart. He didn't even dare to say that he was actually a little bit afraid of Kong Xuan...

"Goodbye, Teacher." Tan Xiao was afraid he would come up with some strange idea, so he quickly left.

Tan Xiao left the office and walked towards the classroom. As he turned the corner, he felt a gust of cold wind behind him.

His heart pounded wildly, and his instincts told him that something was wrong. He was no longer the high school student who used to think of everything scientifically whenever he heard a sound. He instantly became alert, thinking about what Sister Mu would do.

The moment he turned around the corner, Tan Xiao suddenly turned his body, stepped out the Nine Provinces, pinched a spell with his hands, and sent out the Golden Knife Spell. At that instant, a strange scream sounded out of nowhere in front of him, followed by the sound of breaking through the air, whoosh whoosh.

He even felt an invisible object being knocked back, wailing on the ground a couple times, and shouting, "Ouch, it's me!"

People often said this to Tan Xiao, and his reaction was still the same.

"Who are you?" Tan Xiao took a look. It was a male ghost. Calculating it, he only knew three male ghosts in total. Based on the other party's wording, it seemed like he knew him. Tan Xiao hesitantly said, "...Senior Liu?"

Tan Xiao already had quite a lot of experience in guessing people's identity. Uncle Lin might have already reincarnated, and Cheng Xueying was newly married, so it didn't seem like he would come to the school alone to find him. Eliminating the options, there was only one left.

"Yes, it's me!" The other party responded resentfully, still not showing his form.

He guessed right. Tan Xiao affirmed to himself that this was indeed Mu Fei's senior, Liu Qingquan, the deceased rehired expert of Bureau 404 whom he had met once before.

Who knew why he appeared at the school?

Moreover, Liu Qingquan was indeed a ghost with cultivation. His quality was really high, completely concealing his form, probably to prevent ordinary people with spiritual sensitivity from seeing him and scaring them.

Before Tan Xiao could show concern, he saw the door of the office next door open, and two teachers appeared, staring blankly at Tan Xiao's movements.

"Tan Xiao, what are you doing..."

Tan Xiao: "..."

There were people.

He quickly thought about what to say. His movements just now were a bit too big, and even made some slightly strange noises. Ordinary people who heard it would probably be suspicious or even scared, just like Lin Yang in the storage room last time.

But before he could make up a lie, the other teacher nudged his colleague and said, "No need to think, he must be practicing a family heirloom skill."

"With sound effects?" That teacher asked suspiciously, "You sound like you know a lot."

"Nonsense, otherwise why would it be called a heirloom skill? I'm in the physics group so of course I can tell at a glance, but this kind of thing can't be revealed to others."

Tan Xiao: "............"

Thank you teachers for personally demonstrating what it means to study science well, not being afraid to catch ghosts face to face...
