In the next few days of waiting, Xiang Qian and the other two did not go out except for going to Big Golden Tooth to get the things he had asked him to help prepare.
Xiang Qian did not cultivate during the day these few days. Instead, he found a lot of books on archaeology and read them. He wanted to enrich his knowledge base as soon as possible. He could not wait for the rewards of the system missions. He had to read more books and learn more.
Old Hu and Fatty continued to practice the Xingyi Fist. They also wanted to have a better guarantee when they went to the tomb in the future, so they practiced the Xingyi Fist whenever they had time.
"Bang bang bang!"
After dinner, Xiang Qian, who was reading a book, heard someone knocking on the door. He went out to open the door and saw that it was a member of the archaeological team called Chu Jian.
"Mr. Xiang, Professor Chen asked me to inform you that our archaeological team will set off tomorrow and gather at the train station at 8 am. Miss Yang has already bought the train tickets.”
"Okay, thank you. I've troubled you to make a trip.”
"It's okay. I'll go back first, Mr. Xiang. See you tomorrow.”
After Chu Jian finished speaking, he turned around and left. Xiang Qian closed the door and returned to the courtyard. He said to Old Hu and Fatty, who were still practicing,"Professor Chen sent someone to agree. We'll gather at the train station at eight tomorrow morning. Go to bed early today. Don't be late tomorrow.”After saying that, Xiang Qian returned to his room to meditate and cultivate the mysterious cultivation technique.
When Old Hu and Fatty heard Xiang Qian's words, they stopped. They washed up and went to bed early.
The next morning, at 7:50 am, at the Beijing train station.
"Teacher, they really don't have a sense of time. It's almost eight o'clock, and they're still not here?!”
Professor Hao saw that it was almost eight o'clock, but Xiang Qian and the other two had not arrived yet, so he complained to Professor Chen.
"Sigh! Sigh! Sigh! You can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want. Who said that the three of us don't have a sense of time? It's not even eight o'clock yet, right? How are we late?"
Just as Professor Hao was about to speak again, Fatty's voice came from behind.
Xiang Qian and the other two walked up to Professor Chen." Professor Chen, I'm sorry I'm late. Are you late?”
"It's fine. Aihua is just too impatient and anxious to do anything, so please don't take it to heart.”
Professor Chen saw that Xiang Qian and the other two were not very happy. He also knew that his student's words had offended them again, so he quickly smiled and apologized to the three of them.
"Don't worry, Professor Chen. We won't take it to heart. What time is our train?" Old Hu expressed that the three of them were not worried, and then asked for the time of the train.
"The train leaves at 8:20. It's almost time. Let's get on the train.”Yang Xueli looked at her watch and gave the train tickets to the three of them. Then, she picked up her luggage and led the way to the ticket gate.
After checking their tickets, they boarded the train and found their own carriages.
The next day, Xiang Qian, who had nothing to do on the train, was explaining some of his understanding of Xingyi Fist to Old Hu and Fatty.
"Bang bang bang!"
"Creak!"
Yang Xueli suddenly knocked on the door and walked in. She said to the three people who were looking at her,"The three of you, Professor Chen and I have something to talk to you about. Can we come over for a moment?”
"Let's go and hear what's going on.”Xiang Qian got up and called Old Hu and Fatty before following Yang Xueli to Professor Chen's car.
After entering the carriage, Professor Chen invited the three of them to sit down. Then, he took out some information for Xiang Qian and the other two to look at.
" Firefly!!???"
Xiang Qian and Old Hu exclaimed when they saw the photo on the document.
The photo on the document was black and white, but the appearance of the bug in the photo was very impressive.
"That's right. This is a firefly, a very dangerous creature.”
After Professor Chen finished speaking, Yang Xueli took out a book and said,"This kind of insect has only appeared in very little information in the world. How do you know each other?”
"Old Hu and I met under the glacier in Kunlun Ruins.”Xiang Qian replied.
"That's great. Can you guys talk about how you met this kind of insect?”
When Old Hu heard this, his expression changed drastically and he stood up.
"What do you mean? Aren't we going to the desert of the Western Regions? Why are you asking this? You want to go to Kunlun Ruins?"
" We are indeed going to the desert of the Western Region for archeology. Kunlun is just our plan B. My father once led an archeological team to Kunlun Ruins and lost a notebook there. The notebook contains important information about the places we are going to excavate in the Western Region. If we can find the notebook, it will be of great help to us in the Western Region. Therefore, Professor Chen and I discussed it and decided to go to Kunlun Ruins first to find the notebook.”
"Impossible! We agreed to go to the desert of the Western Region, but you're going to Kunlun Ruins halfway?! We're not going! Mr. Xiang, Fatty, let's go. We'll get off at the next stop and return to the capital!”
As he spoke, Old Hu dragged Xiang Qian and Fatty away. Xiang Qian reached out and stopped Old Hu.
"Wait for Old Hu, don't be busy."
"What's wrong? Lord Xiang, are they going to Kunlun Ruins?! Are you going with me? Don't you know how dangerous Kunlun Ruins is?!! Have you forgotten about your fallen comrades?"
Old Hu questioned the money loudly.
Xiang Qian looked at Old Hu's excited expression and advised,"Old Hu, don't get too excited. The notebook she mentioned should be very important to this trip to the Western Regions. As long as we're careful, it's worth the risk.”
"Is that just a risk? Have you forgotten how fireflies burned people to death?! They were all living people! They'll be burned to ashes in a moment!"
Old Hu clenched his fists. Fireflies with blue flames were the most dangerous things he had seen in Kunlun Ruins.
Yang Xueli thought for a moment and said,""Our original reward for each of you was 10,000 yuan. It's indeed too dangerous to go to Kunlun Ruins, so I'll give each of you an additional 5,000 yuan.”
"Old Hu, another five thousand will make it forty-five thousand. With this money, we can improve the lives of your and Lord Xiang's comrades.”
When Old Hu heard Fatty and Xiang Qian's words, he sighed and calmed himself down.
"Alright then, but I have to make one thing clear first. When we arrive at Kunlun Ruins, you must listen to my and Lord Xiang's orders. No one knows how dangerous that place is better than me and Lord Xiang!”
Both Yang Xueli and Professor Chen heaved a sigh of relief. Yang Xueli continued to ask,""Can you tell me what happened when you encountered these bugs?”
"Old Hu isn't feeling well. At that time, Old Hu and I were in the same class. We went to the depths of Kunlun Ruins to carry out a secret mission. We couldn't even tell the people around us where we went.”
