Chapter 33: The Legend of the Absolute Queen

"Yes, yes, yes!"

Hearing what Hu Bayi said, Professor Chen nodded subconsciously.

Actually, this is common sense, and most people know it.

However, Hu Bayi is not only capable of this, in order to earn the other party's dollars, and to learn some knowledge from the archaeological team, it is called a gushing endlessly, and he can't shake out all the feng shui knowledge he knows in his head......

"The mourner, take advantage of the anger also. Qi is dispersed by the wind, and the boundary water is stopped. The ancients gathered to make it not disperse, and the line made it stop, so it was called Feng Shui......"

"To put it bluntly, this Feng Shui is a science that analyzes the relationship between heaven, earth, and man......"

"By observing the stars, the changes in the stars, and the direction of the leylines...... Then through the compass positioning, we can almost find the place we are looking for. ”

"There are 24 nights in the sky, 24 hours in the day, and 24 festivals in the year, so Feng Shui also has 24 directions, such as the Emperor, Tiangang, and Tiangong......

Of course, there are many schools of Feng Shui, and the Taklamakan Desert is the second most mobile desert in the world, so I can't guarantee that I will be able to find the tomb accurately......"

Several of Professor Chen's disciples, including a woman standing in the back room, were able to listen to it.

In fact, what Hu Bayi said, Gao Xing roughly knows.

It's just that these feng shui-related knowledge is obscure and rarely touched by non-professionals.

Although Professor Chan is a university scholar, he studies archaeology rather than Feng Shui.

Therefore, he was shocked for a while, got up and took Hu Bayi's hand and said excitedly: "Comrade Hu Bayi, you said it so well, God opened his eyes, and finally sent you to us......"

Speaking of this, he looked at Gao Xing again and continued: "You two are both talents, and I announce that from now on, you two will officially join our archaeological team.

As for the pay, Fluttershy should have told you about it, right? ”

"Hee-hee, I didn't tell them!" Fluttershy smiles sheepishly.

"Oh, that's right, this time our archaeological team is funded by Miss Yang from the United States, and each of you can get paid 10,000 US dollars.

If you can find the Exquisite Ancient City, the reward will be doubled, that is, 20,000 US dollars. ”

"Hey, old ...... Professor Chan, what do you mean? Look down on me for being fat, don't you? How can they have a share of the two of them, but not mine? ”

The fat man finally came back to his senses, Professor Chen invited Gao Xing and Hu Bayi, but he was ignored, and his heart was naturally unhappy.

"This ......"

"Professor Chen, let me ask him."

At this time, the woman in the inner room came out, stretched out her hand to shake Gao Xing and Hu Bayi respectively, and introduced herself: "My English name is shirley, you can also call my Chinese name Shirley Yang." ”

"Miss Yang is a Chinese-American, not a girl, but she is a photographer for the famous National Geographic magazine. This time, our event was funded by Ms. Yang. ”

Professor Chen added with a smile.

"Awesome!" Hu Bayi casually praised.

Shirley Yang continued: "I already have a general understanding of the situation of the two of you, Mr. Gao knows Taoism and medical skills, which is of great help to our archaeological team.

After all, once you enter the desert, you can't tell what strange things you will encounter, and we will be much safer with Mr. Gao here.

Mr. Hu has experience in conducting and knows how to divide gold and acupoints, which is also indispensable. So may I ask this ......?"

Shirley Young paused, not knowing what to call the fat man.

You can't call Mr. Fat, right?

"Fat man...... Ahem, my name is Wang Kaixuan! ”

"May I ask Mr. Wang, what are your skills? After all, the stakes are high for this desert expedition, and we don't need people without skills. ”

So the fat man is energetic.

Tu Mo flew and began to brag: "Tell you, I went to the desert to suppress the bandits, and the bandits I killed in the Niya Oasis are full of......"

Actually, this is not him at all, but his father's deeds, this guy doesn't want to make dollars.

"See, this is the trophy I used to kill the bandits......"

The fat man took out the jade pendant that his father had left him and displayed it without changing his face.

"Huh?"

At the sight of this jade pendant, Professor Chen's eyes lit up.

The same goes for Shirley Young.

The two took the jade pendant, turned around and looked at it carefully, then glanced at each other and nodded in unison.

Because, this jade pendant is not simple, and the symbol on it is actually the ghost cave text.

This indicates that this jade pendant is likely to have originated from a superb ancient city, or a nearby vassal state.

Legend has it that the Ghost Cave Clan is the most mysterious people in the ancient Western Regions, and it is they who created the Exquisite Kingdom.

According to some sporadic documentary records, or some wild historical records, it is said that the last exquisite queen is the first beauty in the Western Regions, dazzling and dazzling, which can eclipse the stars.

Professor Chen wanted to go to the Ancient Western Regions.

And Shirley Yang, whose father is also a lover of the Ancient Western Regions, once formed an expedition with several companions to find the tomb of the legendary Exquisite Queen.

As a result, there is no going back.

Therefore, the reason why Shirley Yang funded this archaeology also has her own purpose.

First, I want to find my father's whereabouts, and second, I want to fulfill my father's last wish, decipher the secrets of the ghost cave clan, and find the lost exquisite ancient city.

"Mr. Wang, can you cut your love with this jade pendant?"

Shirley Young turned around and asked the fat man.

"You ......"

The fat man saw the money and was about to ask Shirley Yang how much dollars he paid.

As a result, Gao Xing kicked the guy.

In the past, Gao Xing reminded the fat man that he must not sell this jade pendant, and coaxed him to say that it was a talisman.

After being kicked, the fat man coughed dryly, and his tone changed: "I won't sell it for as much as you pay, this is my talisman." ”

The fat man doesn't sell it, and Shirley Yang can't rob it openly.

I thought about it and said, "Okay, you can join." But let's say it first, 10,000 US dollars per person, and 20,000 yuan will be given unless you find the Exquisite Ancient City. ”

"No problem, we've earned your 20,000 US dollars, hahaha!"

The fat man patted his chest confidently and smiled very happily.

20,000 US dollars, which is converted into hundreds of thousands, of course he is happy.

Once the personnel have been decided, the next step is to discuss specific matters such as equipment and routes.

Professor Chen spread out the map and said, "What we mean is to take the train to Xinjiang first, then start from Bosten Lake, look south for the Peacock River, follow the river, find the Ziduyan River and continue south......"

The route they drew up was not a straight line, but a detour.

However, this route is also the approximate distribution of the 36 countries of the ancient Western Regions. After all, the Peacock River was a major source of water back then, and these small countries relied on the Yeque River for survival and development.

When the Sunque River dried up, these ancient kingdoms also migrated or disappeared, and disappeared into the dust of history.

But in any case, whether it is migration or extinction, since it has existed, there must still be relics.

The purpose of this trip is to find these ancient ruins buried in yellow sand.

This is of great significance to the study of the culture of the ancient Western Regions.
