Chapter 17: Departure
Hearing Zhang Hao's words, the needle drop in the room could be heard.
Professor Chen was even more excited, and asked, "What are you talking about, Comrade Xiao Zhang, you said that you have been to the Exquisite Ancient City, this is not a joke." ”
Zhang Hao smiled and said: "I'm really not joking, I've been to the Exquisite Ancient City, Lao Hu, do you remember the 75 years, when our troops went to the desert for exercises?" ”
Hu Bayi thought of this matter and said, "You mean? In that exercise, you took the soldiers of your squad to look for water, but as a result, a sandstorm blew up, and the other soldiers found you, but they couldn't find you, until more than half a month later, when the troops were about to withdraw, did you come out of the desert again? ”
After thinking about it, there was something wrong, and then he asked, "When I came back that time, I asked you, didn't you say that you didn't remember anything?" ”
"Yes, that was the time, when the sandstorm blew up, I fainted, and when I woke up again, all my comrades around me were gone, and the compass was broken, and I leaned on me to read what my grandfather remembered in his book, and walked south according to the stars.
Because I remember that I led my squad of soldiers north to find water, and when I found water, I headed south to return to the station, only to encounter a sandstorm.
I walked and walked to the south, and then I saw a mountain range, which ran like a giant dragon between heaven and earth, and the middle was broken, and I walked along the broken point, and I walked through the mountains, and I saw an ancient city standing in front of me. ”
Hearing Zhang Hao's narration, the scene was quiet, waiting for his next sentence.
"I went into the old city, found the tallest building, and when I slipped under my feet, I slid down the sand and into the building.
It was supposed to be a divine eagle, and in the middle was enshrined an eyeball-shaped jade. ”
When Zhang Hao mentioned the eyeballs, Shirley Yang was shocked.
Zhang Hao noticed Shirley Yang's strange appearance, but didn't care, and continued: "Then I found a groove on the top of that eyeball-like jade. ”
Saying that, Zhang Hao looked at the fat man, and the fat man was uncomfortable, so he asked, "And then, what does this have to do with me?" ”
Zhang Hao stretched out his hand and said to the fat man: "Fat man, take out the piece of jade that your father left for you." ”
The fat man was puzzled, but he didn't ask much, took out the jade he was carrying around his neck and handed it to Zhang Hao.
Zhang Hao continued: "The groove on the eyeball, after I thought about it carefully, I found that it fit perfectly with the fat man's jade.
And, most importantly, I found that the words on the fat man's jade and the words in that temple are a kind of writing, and this piece of jade should be the key to open that temple. ”
Professor Chen and Shirley Yang immediately went up to inspect the piece of jade.
Zhang Hao handed the jade to Professor Chen, and then Professor Chen and Shirley Yang whispered, and when he came back, Professor Chen handed the jade back to Zhang Hao, and Zhang Hao returned the jade to the fat man, and Professor Chen spoke.
"We believe in the abilities of the three, welcome the three to join the archaeological team!"
At the moment when Professor Chen agreed to the three of them to join the archaeological team, the voice of the system sounded.
"Ding, congratulations to the host for completing the task, reward: sixteen-character celestial phenomena hexagram land characters, human characters. Rewards have been distributed to the host's Portable Space. ”
Zhang Hao didn't have time to pay attention to the system's rewards for the time being, because, Shirley Yang spoke at this time.
"In this operation, the three of them will be paid $10,000 each, if they find the Exquisite Ancient City, double it, do the three of them have any opinions?"
The fat guy, seeing that the money couldn't move, asked, "That is, I found it, and we paid 20,000 US dollars each, right?" ”
Shirley Yang didn't talk nonsense, nodded and said, "Yes, I found it, 20,000 US dollars per person, what do the three of you think?" ”
Zhang Hao thought about the house payment, and hurriedly said, "We need to pay 10,000 US dollars first." ”
Shirley Yang looked at the three of them and said, "Okay, then please go back and prepare, and I will inform the three of you when you leave." ”
......
The three of them walked out of the courtyard of the archaeological team, and the fat man felt the $10,000 in his pocket and couldn't put it down.
"Alright, fatty, don't touch it, it won't be ours soon." Hu Bayi teased at the right time.
The fat man doesn't care, he can touch it for a while.
The three of them returned to the house they had been optimistic about, and the owner didn't expect the three of them to come back so soon.
The house owner was also neat, and in the afternoon, he followed the three of them to handle the transfer of the house.
The owner of the house was too lazy to move, so he gave all the 1,000 yuan of all kinds of furniture in the house to the three of them, Zhang Hao asked the big gold tooth to come and take a look, and found that some of the furniture was still made of precious wood, and he thought that this could be done, so he agreed, and the 1,000 yuan deposit did not have to be returned.
......
That afternoon, Chu Jian came to Zhang Hao's house and informed the three of them to leave the next day, and the three of them packed up the items they might use one by one.
Zhang Hao took out the three talismans of heaven, earth and man, and made a hexagram, and found that this trip can be described as turning evil into good fortune, and he was relieved that there was no danger to his life after all.
It needs to be explained here that Zhang Hao's grandfather taught him the ability to tell hexagrams when he was a child, but at that time, it may be that Zhang Hao's level was limited, and the things he calculated were not effective.
And after Zhang Hao obtained the sixteen-character celestial phenomena hexagram, he comprehended the true meaning of the divination by himself based on what he had learned before, and at the same time transported three hexagrams, and the content calculated could be at least eighty or ninety percent accurate.
Downwards in the back to get other hexagrams, but also to improve more accuracy.
But this trip will definitely be difficult, and Zhang Hao has no good way to do this, so he can only take one step and see one step.
Early the next morning, Zhang Hao and the three of them packed their luggage, locked the door, and went out.
Everyone agreed to meet at the train station.
As a result, Zhang Hao and the three of them waited at the train station for a full hour before they saw the archaeological team coming over with large bags.
In this regard, Zhang Hao is also helpless.
......
"Brother Zhang, Brother Hu, Professor Chen asked you to come over, saying that he had something to discuss with you."
Sa Dipeng came over to find Zhang Hao and Hu Bayi, saying that Professor Chen was looking for them.
Zhang Hao and Hu Bayi got up and went to Professor Chen and Shirley Yang's bunks.
Professor Chen looked at Zhang Hao and Hu Bayi, and said, "Xiao Zhang, Xiao Hu, I called you here this time, I want to discuss something with you, we may have to change our course and go to Kunlun Glacier." ”
"Ding, congratulations to the host for triggering the hidden mission: go to the Kunlun Glacier and destroy the nine-story demon tower, the task reward: Talent Divine Power: Breaking the Pupil of Delusion."
Before Zhang Hao could say anything, the voice of the system sounded, and Zhang Hao didn't know how to refuse for a while.
And Hu Bayi said excitedly: "Kunlun Glacier? Why don't you say it in advance if you want to change course? ”
After saying this, Hu Bayi pushed open the door and went out.
The fat man came out very excitedly when he saw Hu Bayi outside, and hurriedly followed Hu Bayi.
Hu Bayi saw the fat man: "Fat man, do you have a cigarette, give me one." ”
The fat man hurriedly took out a cigarette and handed it to Hu Bayi, lit one himself, and asked what was going on.
Hu Bayi replied: "They want to change the route to Kunlun Glacier, that place is too dangerous, don't go!" ”
At this time, Zhang Hao also came out and asked the fat man for a cigarette, but he didn't speak, just smoked silently.
The fat man looked at this posture and persuaded: "Isn't it just going to Kunlun Glacier?" Let them add money..."
Before the fat man finished speaking, he was interrupted by Hu Bayi: "If I don't go, I won't go." ”
After that, Hu Bayi told the fat man all kinds of bizarre things that he and Zhang Hao encountered on the Kunlun Glacier.
