Your knowledge is too taboo

Chapter 17 Folklore Professor

Maybe it was because he was really confused, or maybe he was feeling guilty that Chen Qing was on the list like him. Before driving to his house, Lu Mingcheng couldn't wait to tell Chen Qing all the news he knew.

According to his statement, a few months ago, a friend of his in college chatted with him about Xu Xiangyang.

I didn't know that friend Chen Qing. They were not from the same department, but Lu Mingcheng was quite familiar with that guy.From that friend's words, Lu Mingcheng suddenly remembered that he had a classmate named Xu Xiangyang.

"Honestly, if he didn't tell me, I would have almost forgotten about Xu Xiangyang."

Lu Mingcheng sighed: "But as soon as he said it, I immediately thought of it."

Maybe it's because people related to Xu Xiangyang can cover up the power of his name?
Similar thoughts flashed through Chen Qing's mind.

Ever since he knew that this world was anything but ordinary, he was working hard to change his way of thinking to be unimaginable.

None of those taboo objects can be dealt with by ordinary methods. The infinitely replicable gold coins, the ancient mirrors that connect the two worlds, and the preserved oil lamps are far scarier than the novels and animations he has read in the past.

It's obviously a small object, but it has the ability to subvert the rules. Chen Qing can't help but be imaginative.

But before that, he had another question: "Where is that friend who told you about Xu Xiangyang? How is he?"

According to Chen Qing's idea, if the two of them were recorded on the postcard because Xu Xiangyang's name was mentioned, then the friend who first talked to Lu Mingcheng about Xu Xiangyang was probably recorded on the paper earlier than Lu Mingcheng.

Lu Mingcheng thought for a while and said with some uncertainty: "He? He seems to have gone to the border, right? Is he going to teach or to guard? I can't remember clearly. After all, they are just ordinary friends. We met at the class reunion before. Yes, we just had a chat."

After hearing this sentence, Chen Qing was thoughtful.

Looks like I'll need to look it up a bit then.

Because he needed to sort out his thoughts, he basically didn't speak much afterwards.Lu Mingcheng was also in a state of confusion at the moment and stopped talking.The two of them stayed in silence as they drove all the way to Lu Mingcheng's home.

After getting off the car, Lu Mingcheng led Chen Qing into his home: "Come in, there's no need to take off your shoes."

Chen Qing also walked into the entrance hall as instructed.

As soon as he entered, even with his temperament, he was shocked by the furnishings in Lu Mingcheng's house: "Your house... is quite big, huh?"

Although he knew that Lu Mingcheng's family was probably quite wealthy, when he actually saw his house, Chen Qing couldn't help but roll his eyes secretly, and then said the nickname Lu Mingcheng had memorized for four years during college - "Big Dog"!
The house covers a large area, the furniture is full of antiques, and there are all kinds of cultural objects that are worth a lot of money at a glance.Although the owner of the house is low-key, he is not simple.At least judging from the furnishings, the owner definitely spent a lot of money on this home.

Lu Mingcheng, on the other hand, rarely showed a smile: "The family's foundation is nothing, and I'm just coming back to stay temporarily."

With that said, he took Chen Qing into his own room: "Let me show you the postcard first."

Chen Qing nodded and followed Lu Mingcheng.

Lu Mingcheng soon moved a large box. The box had been unpacked, but not completely opened.

Staring at the box without a seal or sender, Chen Qing frowned slightly: "Is this the one?"

Perhaps because he was frightened by the contents of the box, even though he had experienced it once, Lu Mingcheng was still a little frightened when he picked up the box again: "Yes, this is the package containing the severed hand!"

He put the package aside: "Look at it as you like, but I advise you not to look at it. That thing... will affect your appetite if you look at it."

Hearing this, Chen Qing smiled, and indeed did not look at the box immediately.

In his opinion, the postcard with his name appearing in Lu Mingcheng's mouth clearly had a bigger secret.

Glancing at the postcard placed on the table, Chen Qing picked it up.

The material of postcards is the same as ordinary objects, there is no difference at all.But there were a lot of words written densely on it in red letters. Chen Qing counted them and found that they turned out to be 45 names.

45 people like me?

Chen Qing was thoughtful.

He did not look at the names one by one, but examined the postcard first.

But basically nothing special was found.

The only thing that Chen Qing found more meaningful was the postcard's logo.In the side corner where the name is written, there is a pure black pattern.The lines of the pattern are twisted and connected together, and the tentacles are entwined with each other, giving people a "lotus" feeling.

It was as if it was a bunch of crazy lines... a black lotus.

"Do you have any impression of this?" Chen Qing asked Lu Mingcheng, pointing to the logo.

Lu Mingcheng glanced at it and was stunned for a moment: "Which one?"

Ok?
Chen Qing frowned: "That's the black lotus."

Lu Mingcheng: "What black lotus?"

He looked at it for a long time, and in the end he could only see a bunch of scary blood letters on the postcard: "I don't see anything black, only red?"

Hearing this, Chen Qing was slightly startled.

The next second, a glimmer of understanding arose in his mind.

[Sure enough, this is very likely to be an extraordinary event]

If he could see it but Lu Mingcheng couldn't, either one of the two people had an eye problem, or... their "field of vision" was different due to different experiences they had recently.

Chen Qing has been exposed to a lot of taboo objects recently. Perhaps because of this, he saw things that Lu Mingcheng couldn't.

"So, the water in this world is indeed very deep."

Touching the postcard, Chen Qing had a lot of thoughts in her heart.

At this time, he began to review the names above one by one.

He looked from the beginning to the end, and his name was the last one.

When he saw the No. 12 name, Chen Qing said "Huh".

Lu Mingcheng, who was already suspicious and was frightened by Chen Qing's "Black Lotus" and turned pale, quickly asked: "What's wrong? What's wrong?"

Pointing to the postcard, Chen Qing said, "I know this person."

Following the direction pointed by Chen Qing, Lu Mingcheng looked over: "Shan Tiexiong...?"

"Who is Shan Tiexiong?" Lu Mingcheng was a little confused.

Chen Qing put the postcard aside: "It's not very appropriate to say we know him. It should be said that I know him unilaterally, and he most likely doesn't know me."

"Shan Tiexiong is a professor at the nearby Jianghan University. I have seen his videos online."

Because this professor's name was very special, Chen Qing was very impressed.

With such a name, you may not be able to find another one in the whole country.

So, was this professor also involved in this "Xu Xiangyang" incident?

Staring at the postcard in his hand, Chen Qing's eyes were profound.

Professor Shan was very famous and even appeared on local TV.

And the content of his speech on TV...

If Chen Qing remembers correctly.

It seems to be about folklore.

"And I read on social media that Professor Shan will appear on TV again soon..."

Touching the postcard, Chen Qing looked thoughtful.
