"Is it expensive? Was his life not worth 200,000 yuan? We're using our lives to earn money. Who can guarantee that we won't die there? Even if we come out, who can guarantee that we won't go crazy?”
"Of course, you're all archaeologists. I can understand that you're ignoring the risks for the sake of archeology, but we three just want to make money with our lives.”
Zhou Xun smiled at Xue Li Yang.
No one understood the danger of Jingjue City better than Xue Li Yang.
"Alright, I agree. I'll give the three of you 200,000 dollars each if you find the Ancient City of Jingjue, but if you can't find it, I won't give you a single cent.”
Seeing how confident Zhou Xun was, Xue Li Yang replied after some thought.
"Alright, no problem." Zhou Xun said indifferently.
Can't find it? That was impossible!
Following that, Old Hu explained some of the Heavenly Star Feng Shui techniques to everyone.
Fatty also took out the jade and showed it to Professor Chen and Xue Liyang.
Zhou Xun also told him the address of the Ancient City of Jingjue.
In the end, Zhou Xun became the leader of the archaeological team.
......
Three days later, on the train.
This time, Zhou Xun was well-prepared. Not only did he store a large number of water bottles, compressed biscuits, canned meat, and so on in his space.
He even took out the Ming Hong Saber and put it in a box on his back. At the same time, he also brought a backpack to hide it.
The reason why he put the knife in the box was because even though there was no security check, he couldn't be too arrogant and carry a knife on his back!
Just as Zhou Xun was lying on the bed and watching everyone play cards.
Professor Chen walked over and said,"Comrade Xiao Zhou, please come over."”
"Alright."
"You guys keep fighting, keep fighting!"
After saying that, she brought Zhou Xun to the train compartment. Xue Li Yang was also inside.
When Old Hu and Fatty saw Zhou Xun being called away, they followed him.
Zhou Xun looked at Professor Chen and Xue Li Yang, who were opposite him, saying that they were going to change their route to Kunlun Glacier. He knew that they still wanted to get the notebook back.
Zhou Xun did not care about this, but he was afraid that Old Hu would not be able to accept it.
Just as Zhou Xun was thinking.
"Pa!"
"Why didn't you say you were going to Kunlun Glacier earlier?" Old Hu opened the door angrily.”
"Old Hu, don't be angry. Sit down first.”
"Aren't we still discussing this?”Professor Chen was shocked by Old Hu.
Zhou Xun took out a cigarette and handed one to Old Hu, one to the fatty outside, and one to himself.
After lighting it up, he handed the lighter to Old Hu and comforted him,"Old Hu, why don't you tell us why you don't want to go to Kunlun Glacier? If there's any danger, Professor Chen and Xue Liyang will consider it carefully.”
"Yeah, Old Hu, tell us.”Fatty looked at Old Hu, who was rarely angered, and asked curiously.
"I've been to the Kunlun Glacier. I was a soldier there. It's very dangerous there. The bad weather and the avalanche aside, there's also a type of bug with blue flames. As long as you touch it, you'll be burned to ashes immediately.”
"Many of my comrades were burned to ashes by these bugs.”
After taking a few puffs of the cigarette, Old Hu calmed down a little. However, when he recalled this, he began to feel down.
Fatty didn't feel good after hearing that. He didn't know how to comfort him, so he could only pat the sad Old Hu.
Professor Chen did not expect Old Hu to have such a tragic past in Kunlun Glacier.
No wonder he had such a big reaction when he heard that they were going to Kunlun Glacier!
"Mr. Hu, did the bug look like this?”
After Xue Li Yang heard about the Kunlun Glacier, she took out a magazine and a photo and handed them to Old Hu.
Old Hu took the magazine and photos and looked at them carefully.
"Little Hu, is that it?" Professor Chen asked.
Old Hu stared at the photo for nearly a minute before confirming,"Yes, that's it."
"This bug is called The Beatie on Fire. Translated into Chinese, it is called the Fire Ladybug. Currently, it can only be found in the records of archaeologists and explorers around the world.”
Xue Li Yang didn't expect this Fire Ladybug to really exist and was quite surprised.
"Actually, this is not called a fire ladybug, nor is it a legend. In our country, this is called a rotten firefly.”
Zhou Xun's words shocked everyone.
Xue Li Yang stared at Zhou Xun and asked,""You recognize this?"
Old Hu and Fatty were dumbfounded.
Xue Li Yang and Professor Chen looked at each other and waited quietly for Zhou Xun's answer.
"The reason why it's called a Rotten Firefly is because this kind of insect only lives in places full of corpses. I wonder if you've heard of a Rotten Grass Becoming a Firefly?”
Xue Li Yang, Old Hu, and Fatty were confused. What did you say? Why don't we understand?
Professor Chen nodded, indicating that he understood.
" The so-called rotten grass turning into fireflies refers to the traditional saying that rotten grass can turn into fireflies, and the fire ladybug you mentioned is the image of the rotten fireflies absorbing the phosphorus element in the corpses. However, this kind of creature is indeed very rare in the records.”
Zhou Xun directly shattered everyone's worldview and explained.
Rotten fireflies?
Regardless of whether Shirley Yang believed it or not, Professor Chen did.
Because he also knew the story of rotten grass becoming fireflies.
"Little Zhou, I've learned a lot from you this time!”Professor Chen said happily.
"Professor Chen, you're too polite. I also study archaeology. Of course, I'm very curious about these historical allusions and like to study them.”
Zhou Xun replied modestly. Of course, Zhou Xun knew more about history than Professor Chen.
But I'll keep a low profile!
