Section 52 Thesis Defense

Mingyue of the Great Song Dynasty http://www./0_1/  The latest work of Xiangnan Xiaoxiaosheng!

The appearance of the lower half of the Western Zhou Pangshes made my thoughts surge. Two days later, I submitted my graduation thesis.

The storm of the parchment continues to ferment in the industry. Every day I receive countless invitations and receive countless related calls. In short, I have once again become a news figure in the archaeological column. Director Wu was very excited about this matter because this is the first time that the Shanghai Institute of Cultural Relics has been answering the doubts of the entire archaeological community. Faced with such an opportunity, Director Wu naturally led the way and stood in front of the media.

I have almost never been idle these days. Either accompanying Director Wu to meet with various industry insiders and leaders, or accompanying Director Wu to interviews from major media. Next, Director Wu personally arranged the itinerary and booked more than a dozen seminars for me.

I have had experience answering various repetitive questions. Once again, I seemed a little disgusted and felt a little overwhelmed. Fortunately, Director Wu took good care of my emotions and handed over most of the answers to the publicity office in the institute, and I only had to face some more important people.

The seminar was still under intense preparation and planning, but at this time I received an invitation to a graduation defense. The school leaders asked me to go back to school to complete the defense as soon as possible.

The first semester of the second semester of the second semester of the second semester of the second semester of the second semester of the second semester of the second semester of the second semester of the second semester of the second semester of the second semester of the second semester of the second semester of the second semester of the second semester of the second semester of the second semester of the second semester of the second semester of the second semester of the second semester of the second. It is now that the school is urging so tightly that they obviously want to get more information about the Western Zhou parchment from me as soon as possible!

On the day I returned to school, some snowflakes fell in the sky. This kind of weather is rare in winter in Shanghai.

I always have a thought in my heart, hoping to have a girl who loves me for a walk together on such cold snowy days, so that I will not feel lonely and romantic.

But now I don’t have such conditions. The snow fell, and I was still walking alone on the road of the campus. I had been internship for a while, and when I returned to school again, I felt a little strange! Looking at the juniors walking by on both sides, I actually became a little envious, envious of them for continuing to enjoy the carefree campus life, without worrying about the dangers of the outside world, nor being suppressed and bullied by the company’s leaders.

Suddenly, a familiar call woke me up from my thoughts! I turned my head and looked at me, and saw Wang Jiali standing alone by the road, staring at me from a distance, without a smile on her face.

It was a coincidence that I could meet her here when I came back to school.

I walked up to greet me and said, "Hello, Wang Jiali, I seem to have not seen each other for several months. Are you doing well recently?"

Wang Jiali looked at me silently, and remained silent for a long time without saying anything.

I put away my smile and asked seriously: "What's wrong? Are you in a bad mood?"

This was just a casual greeting. Unexpectedly, after Wang Jiali lowered her head and pointed it twice, a tear slowly slid down the corner of her eyes.

When old lovers meet, they will pretend to be very good. Needless to say, this must be because she has been very bad, otherwise she would not cry sadly! But she has nothing to do with me now, and I don’t know how to comfort her, so I had to say, “Is there anything I need to help me? Everyone is a classmate who doesn’t have to see me, so I just tell me if you have something to say!”

Wang Jiali sobbed, reached out to wipe her tears and said, "Xiao Feng, can you lend your shoulder to let me lean on me?"

I am a very conservative person, not to mention that this is on the streets of the crowded campus. I replied naturally: "Haha, what's wrong with you? Don't do this!"

After hearing this, Wang Jiali's eyes showed infinite disappointment and tears surged out! Soon she lowered her head again and said in a very light voice: "I am pregnant with Xiao Feng, what should I do?"

..., I have been breaking up with her for more than four months. I originally thought that everything about her would not affect me anymore, but this sentence still made me feel a tingling pain in my heart.

I was speechless about this. I suppressed my grief and anger, and said with a reluctant smile: "Oh, then you can see it yourself! It is best not to go to the hospital for an abortion, and discuss with your boyfriend about getting married and giving birth!"

After hearing this, Wang Jiali looked at me blankly. Her helpless expression made me feel a little unbearable, but I couldn't do anything.

She nodded silently, then suddenly said goodbye and turned around and left.

I don't understand what she means. Even if I understand it, it has nothing to do with me at all, because I can't accept her like this.

I came to the teaching and research building with a complicated mood. The teachers in the defense office were already waiting for me early.

The instructor Zhang Wenyuan greeted me and said, "Xiao Feng, you are here, come and sit here, the teachers have been waiting for you for a long time!"

I nodded and asked while walking, "Why is the time arrangement of this defense so tight? I didn't see such a hurry when I was in the undergraduate defense before?"

After hearing this, Dr. Zhang Wenyuan laughed and said, "Are you busy with work? You may be sent to the wilderness for archaeology at any time, so the school wants to complete your defense in advance when you are in Shanghai, so that it will not affect your work!"

"Oh!" I walked to the chair in front of the teachers' podium and sat down. I was naturally too lazy to pay attention to Dr. Zhang's polite words.

Dr. Zhang asked with a smile again: "How about Xiao Feng? Are you still used to the work of the Cultural Relics Research Institute? I heard that last time you went to participate in the rescue operation, you encountered a major accident and you were injured! How are you doing now? Is it okay?"

Faced with this long list of questions, I simply replied: "Oh, okay, it's okay now!"

"Yeah!", Dr. Zhang seemed a little anxious. He flipped through my paper and said, "Okay, we won't waste time, just start!"

As soon as the words were finished, a professor sitting beside him immediately asked, "Xiao Feng, why are you so sure that the Huahe Group's parchment scroll is the real second volume? What is said in the next volume is like a folk mythological and ghost story. As a rigorous archaeologist, have you never questioned it?"

I felt a little depressed when I heard this. As soon as I opened my mouth, I asked questions that had nothing to do with my thesis. I replied: "I have questioned it, but I have also personally seen the real mantra. I also used mantras to save my classmate Chen Liang! We are all people who base the facts on them, and we must be able to imagine boldly! Since those mantras are true, then what is said in the next volume may be real!"

After hearing this, the professor sneered and said sarcastically: "Just, even if some spells really have some effect, it is impossible to be reborn through spells! As a university graduate student in modern society, you should analyze everything from a scientific perspective, rather than be confused by this feudal superstitious idea. If you cannot change this decadent idea, you will suffer a great loss outside in the future!"

I was a little angry after hearing this. As you ask, you can ask a question. As you talk, you start to teach me a lesson.

After listening to it, Dr. Zhang explained for me: "Okay, discussions are all about discussions, don't target people! I think Xiao Feng's ideas are very novel. Sometimes when we do academic research, we need to get rid of those rules and boldly imagine, so that our thinking can become broader and achieve self-breakthroughs!"

After hearing this, the professor glanced at Zhang Wenyuan, then continued to ask me, "Okay, didn't you say you had saved Chen Liang with a spell! Then write down that spell and explain to us what it means! Why is there a curse effect!"

I heard it speechlessly and said unhappily: "I'm sorry, it seems that all the questions you asked have nothing to do with my graduation project. I refuse to answer such questions!"

"Yoho!" After hearing this, the professor mocked me and said, "I went to the institute and became the deputy captain of the archaeological team. I went to the archaeological rescue and made a splash. You thought you were amazing! Let me tell you Xiao Feng, you are still a student of Fudan now, and you have not graduated yet! Let me tell you the truth, in the graduation defense, with your attitude, I can give you a failed, you can't even think about graduating from our school!"

Since I participated in the internship, I have faced the test of life and death and have seen the team members die with my own eyes. Now I am no longer the student who dares not speak out. I stood up with a whoosh and scolded the professor: "How come you sound like a hooligan outside? Are you threatening me? After all, you are also a professor. Even the director of our unit with a bachelor's degree will not be as unreasonable as you. Why are you so poor in your quality?"

"Bastard!" The professor was completely angry by me and pointed at me and cursed: "You are simply lawless. How could there be a student like you in our school? I must give you a failed defense. Dr. Zhang, you don't have to protect him. There is no one to talk to!"

After saying that, he grabbed the pen angrily, drew a big fork at the end of my paper, and then slapped the pen in his hand on the table!

Zhang Wenyuan is my tutor, so he naturally understands his students very well. He comforted the professor with a smile and said, "Okay, don't get angry. Xiao Feng's attitude is a bit problematic, but what you said is indeed a bit too much. Our graduation defense this time is to discuss Xiao Feng's "On the Development and Influence of Ancient Chinese Witch Culture". It is not to worry about these spells and the Western Zhou Pangshes, that is another research topic! Otherwise, we should get back to the point and start from a new beginning?"

The professor said angrily: "Yes, but the premise is that Xiao Feng must answer my question just now!"

Zhang Wenyuan nodded and said to me sternly: "Xiao Feng, although you are now the captain of the archaeological team of the Institute of Cultural Relics, no matter what, you are still a student of our Fudan University. You must respect your teachers! Let's do this, you should answer Professor Yang's question first!"

In the past few years when I was in school, because I came from the countryside and my grades were too low in class, these teachers always liked to yell at me, and I was very annoyed to them. This time, I didn’t give face to my mentor and directly refused: “Sorry, Dr. Zhang, when I joined the Institute of Cultural Relics, the confidentiality agreement signed clearly stipulates that all relevant information is not allowed to be revealed to the outside world for archaeological actions involved in the institute, otherwise I will be held criminally legally responsible! I believe that one of the purposes of our Fudan University’s training students is to hope that everyone will be good students who are law-abiding in the future and do not discredit us Fudan! So I really cannot disclose any information on Professor Yang’s question!”

After hearing this, Zhang Wenyuan smiled and said, "Oh, I haven't seen you for a few months, you have become very good at talking!"

After saying that, Dr. Zhang asked the professor and said, "Professor Yang, Xiao Feng's statement is also very reasonable! As a student, he knows how to safeguard the reputation of our Fudan. We who are role models should not behave worse than our students, right?"

Professor Yang looked at him, then turned his head and glared at me. The professor had a very big temper. Then he got up to pack his belongings and answered while busying himself: "Okay, okay, you teacher-student relationships are good, you know how to understand and defend each other! I am just an ordinary professor, only enough to teach those undergraduates, so how can I ask you graduate students? I have nothing to do here. Anyway, nothing I say does not work. Those who shouldn't graduate can still graduate in the end, right? You can continue, and I won't disturb you anymore!"

After saying that, Professor Yang left with a briefcase in his arms.

The remaining three professors looked at each other, obviously they were speechless at this bad temper Professor Yang. One of the professors comforted Dr. Zhang and said, "Dr. Zhang, don't worry about him! It is because of this bad temper that his wife divorced him with her children!"

Zhang Wenyuan replied with a smile: "Haha, forget it, let's not talk about other teachers behind the scenes. This is not good! Let's sit down Xiao Feng, and we continue to defend!"

"Oh!", the anger in my heart began to calm down after they said this, and I sat back honestly.

Next, the professors began to ask questions about the topic of my thesis. The attitude was obviously much more kind, and the atmosphere finally became harmonious.

Half an hour later, my graduation defense was finally coming to an end! After the professors discussed, because Professor Yang and I had an unhappy quarrel, they only gave me one good deed.

At the end, a professor couldn't help asking: "Xiao Feng, I still want to ask a question that has nothing to do with thesis defense. I hope you can satisfy my curiosity. Is the great wizard of the Western Zhou Dynasty who was reborn through the underground palace the legendary Western Zhou Dynasty owner of the tomb of the Western Zhou Pangs?"

I was stunned after hearing this, and saw Zhang Wenyuan frowning and glance at the professor, with a hint of displeasure on his face. I thought I would give Professor Zhang a face, at least he was pretty good to me! I then replied, "I can't answer your question with certainty! But according to our speculation, the legend of the great wizard of the Western Zhou Dynasty, these two Western Zhou sheepskin scrolls, and the ancient temple we went to during the last rescue, should be related to the same person! We have no more evidence to prove this, and this is the task that our second archaeological team will complete next!"

"Oh!", the three professors responded in unison. Only Professor Zhang Wenyuan looked at me silently, as if he was thinking about other things without saying a word.
Chapter completed!
