"A bowl of porridge in the morning, happy as a fairy!"

Professor Chen smiled and drank the porridge, and did not entertain Xue Yang, so he ate and drank the pickles that Xue Yang specially bought.

Although Professor Chen is a veteran professor at the national level, his behavior style is still the same as always, and he eats light tea and simple food every day, which is not extravagant.

He is a man who does practical things, and he has also endured many hardships, so he has long been accustomed to this kind of dull life.

After eating, Professor Chen went to the back room to get a towel and wiped his mouth carefully, soaked the towel in water and rubbed it carefully, and then walked out of the room.

At this time, Xue Yang was standing in the hall and looking at the map that he had specially marked.

This is a map of Xinjiang, most of which is hidden by the desert, and Professor Chen has drawn many circles in it, marked with various nouns.

Obviously, Professor Chen had done a lot of work before entering the Taklamakan Desert, although these efforts did not play a big role in entering the desert.

Those who have never seen the desert can never imagine how much change will occur in the desert.

Only those who live in the desert will truly understand the magic of the desert!

In the original book, if there was no old man An Liman who had traveled in the desert countless times, then the archaeological team would only be unable to move an inch, even if they had Hu Bayi's Tianxing Feng Shui, they would have lost their way in the process and fell into death.

"I heard Xiao Ye say, if you want to know me, an old man, the reason must be related to the desert in front of you, right?"

Xue Yang is not in the archaeological field, he has nothing to do with him, and he has never heard of this person, and Professor Chen has a deep wariness of him.

But this vigilance had been partially dispelled yesterday, and today he needed Xue Yang himself to dispel the other part.

Professor Chen slept late yesterday, on the one hand, it was indeed because he was discussing problems with his students, and on the other hand, he specially looked for Ye Yixin's third uncle, and the old dean learned about the situation.

The two of them have known each other for a long time, so they know each other well.

Ye Yixin suddenly wanted to introduce Xue Yang to him, although he was kind, he was not a fool, so he would naturally inquire about the situation.

As a result, his old friend also briefly told Xue Yang's situation.

And to make it clear, this is not a bad boy, but there are many secrets on him.

Professor Chen didn't really care about the latter sentence, but the former sentence had already relieved him a lot.

"Well, I don't want to hide it from you, I also want to go with you to grow up and learn. ”

Xue Yang smiled and didn't deny it.

Originally, he and Professor Chen were completely in two worlds, and he deliberately befriended him, in Ye Yixin's opinion, maybe because the two would have a common topic, but they understood that they must have other reasons for each other.

"The young man is very honest, Xiao Ye told me some about you, but I still don't know what your real purpose is. ”

Professor Chen propped himself up and sat down in his chair, waiting for Xue Yang's answer.

He thinks that he still has a way of seeing people, so if Xue Yang's statement can't be trusted by him, then he won't care about his schoolgirl and the old guy's face.

Even if he brought some good breakfast, he would still kick this man out of the door with ulterior motives.

However, because of the relationship between the two, Professor Chen still added.

"If you tell me that you want to gain knowledge, then I don't want to believe it, old man, and I won't take a stranger to learn at such a moment. ”

When he said this, Professor Chen's eyes suddenly became sharp, although he has a gentle personality, he has his own principles of life.

"You've always had a burning eye, and to tell you the truth, the real reason why I want to go with you is that I'm interested in the legendary Queen of Excellence. ”

As if he couldn't feel the changes in Professor Chen, Xue Yang was as peaceful as before.

"Oh, you know the Absolute Queen, too?" Professor Chen was interested.

"Understand one or two. ”

Xue Yang saw that Professor Chen was interested, and he already knew in his heart that his requirements for this trip were already secure.

"Tell me about it. Professor Chen straightened his sitting posture and looked at Xue Yang seriously.

"The Thirty-six Kingdoms of the Western Regions were the peak of foreign cultures in ancient times, and one of the thirty-six countries at that time was called Jingjue. ”

"This Exquisite Kingdom is the most prosperous country among the thirty-six countries in the Western Regions, and the Absolute Queen, as the absolute ruler of the Exquisite Kingdom, not only has peerless beauty, but also has extremely magical power. ”

"Magical powers, you mean?"

Xue Yang deliberately paused when he said this, and the old professor naturally took over the conversation.

"Yes, the legendary Ghost Cave Clan's ethnic group is called the Ghost Cave Clan, the Ghost Cave Clan comes from the underground, they believe in the ghost eyes, and use the eyes as a totem, and the messenger of the Ghost Cave Clan is the reincarnation of the Ghost Mother. ”

"This exquisite queen was born with demon pupils, able to make eye contact with ghosts, she exchanged her eyes for boundless mana, and legend has it that there is an imaginary space hidden in her eyes, as long as you look at someone, that person will be included in the imaginary space, not knowing life and death. ”

"The Absolute Queen has powerful magical powers, but then for some reason, the Absolute Queen suddenly died, and the Absolute Kingdom also united and destroyed the surrounding small federal countries that had been ruled and suppressed, and the Ghost Cave Clan was drowned in the boundless yellow sand. ”

The ghost cave clan, the queen of the essence, the imaginary space.

Everything Xue Yang said showed that he had a certain understanding of the Peerless Ancient Kingdom, at least more than they did in terms of legends and myths.

These mystical myths are very different from the current worldview of this world, and the inherent idea that science can explain everything is completely contrary to this feudal superstition, but Professor Chen did not even interrupt and refute it from beginning to end.

Professor Chen has been dealing with various ancient tombs for a long time over the years, and he has really experienced some mysteries of life and death, so although he does not believe in the origin of the exquisite queen that Xue Yang said, he also feels that there is always some merit in historical legends.

These ancient legends often hide the key to breaking the game.

"The ghost cave clan, with eyes as totems, believes in ghost eyes, I didn't expect Comrade Xiao Xue to know so much about the ancient exquisite culture. ”

Professor Chen came back to his senses from his contemplation, he looked at Xue Yang seriously, although he still had doubts in his heart, but he had already agreed to Xue Yang's joining in his heart.

Of course, this matter still needs to be explained to Shirley Yang, after all, the travel expenses for this trip are sponsored by Shirley Yang, and Shirley Yang's purpose is also to find his father.

"It's just hearsay, and if Professor Chen listens to it and is inspired, then it shows that these things are still useful. ”

In the face of Professor Chen's praise, Xue Yang was a little modest, he knew that Professor Chen must have been willing to let him go with him at this time.

Through old friends and students, I learned about Xue Yang's personality, and through simple contact and Xue Yang's exquisite national knowledge, I understood Xue Yang's role.

These two aspects have formed the ingredients of success!
