Roaming the universe, all thanks to your many dark skills!

The archaeological team led by Chen Jiuren couldn't even hold back for three days and ran to find Hu Bayi.

First, they have been trying every means to find a team leader to replace Hu Bayi in the past two days, but all ended in failure.

After all, these days, retired cadres like Hu Bayi who have combat experience and extraordinary life experiences are all wanted by their units, and no one would go out to work alone.

Even if there really is such a person, he may not necessarily understand the art of Tianxing Feng Shui.

The key to this trip is the Tianxing Feng Shui technique. Otherwise, if you go to the vast desert and cannot find the ancient city of Jingjue submerged in the vast desert, then the so-called archaeology will become a joke.

Second, time is very tight. It is already autumn. If we delay any further and then go to the desert in winter, I really don’t know what the environment will be like.

This also forced both Chen Jiuren and Shirley Yang to bow their heads to Hu Bayi and the other two no matter how unhappy they were.

So Chen Jiuren and Shirley Yang came over in person.

When they saw the Siheyuan, they didn't think much of it. After all, there are many Siheyuans in the capital now, but many of them are occupied by many households, so they are called slums.

But when they saw the purple clay teapot that Wang Kaixuan used to make tea and the cups he gave them to drink tea from, they were all surprised.

Chen Jiuren is an archaeologist, so his eyesight is naturally not bad, and Shirley Yang has been influenced by him since childhood, so of course her knowledge is also not bad.

So it is easy to see that both the pot and the cup are genuine antiques. The worst one is from the mid-Qing Dynasty, or porcelain from the official kiln.

"You two are so extravagant that you actually drink tea from the official kiln during the Qianlong period?" Shirley Yang said, pointing at the cup in front of her.

“Hey, what’s the big deal?” Wang Kaixuan said nonchalantly, “This is because Boss Luo thought it was too low-grade and didn’t want to keep it, so I just used it to drink water.”

"Where's Rosen?" Shirley Yang asked.

"Boss Luo is resting in the back." Wang Kaixuan said with a smile: "It's the same if you tell us anything. It won't be too late to bother Boss Luo when the final decision is made."

"You are so willing to obey his orders." Shirley Yang asked in a provocative tone.

"Nonsense, we are brothers who have been through life and death together, so we can trust each other." Wang Kaixuan glanced at her and said, "Can I listen to you instead of him? Can I trust you?"

"you……"

"Okay, let's stop talking about those useless things." Hu Bayi interrupted what Shirley Yang was about to say and said, "We know your intentions, and our request is very simple."

As he spoke, he raised two fingers and said, "First, we will follow the original plan and go directly to Anxi to find the Jingjue Ancient City. Then everything will be done according to what we have agreed on before. The important thing is to sign the contract."

"Yes, sign the contract." Wang Kaixuan emphasized.

"Secondly, if you really want to go to Kunlun Glacier, that's not impossible. However, because you changed the plan at the last minute, we can waive the penalty for the sake of the respected Professor Chen, but..." Hu Bayi was embarrassed to continue talking here.

"What do you want?" Shirley Yang asked.

"You have to pay extra." Wang Kaixuan answered him straightforwardly.

"Heh, so that means you're just trying to get more money after all this talk." Shirley Yang sneered.

"You're wrong." Hu Bayi shook his head and said, "We didn't ask you to come to us this time, did we?"

Shirley Yang was speechless.

"Since you are asking us for help, you should have the attitude of asking for help." Hu Bayi looked at her and said, "As the ancients said, one must ask for something when one is courteous to others. You are so arrogant now, and you don't act courteous at all. So why should we help you?"

"Can you tell me what's going on?" Wang Kaixuan asked with a smile.

"Fatty, if you can't speak, just shut up." Hu Bayi scolded, and then said: "We didn't know each other well, and we almost got cheated because of your dishonest behavior. So for our own benefit, of course we have to ask for more compensation."

"That's right." Wang Kaixuan nodded and said, "My boss Luo said that this is consistent with your usual style of Americans, profit comes first, right?"

"Where's Rosen? I want to talk to him in person." Shirley Yang said angrily.

"I'm talking about what Brother Luo meant." Hu Bayi said with a smile, "He said that there's nothing to talk about with a banana person like you. The conditions are just like this. If you agree, sign the contract. If you don't agree, please leave from outside."

"Right. Anyway, this city is quite big. It won't be difficult to find a few living people who can replace us." Wang Kaixuan said with a smile: "So what do you two think?"

Shirley Yang stood up suddenly.

Just when Hu Bayi thought she was going to leave in anger, he heard her gnashing her teeth and saying, "Where's the contract? I'll sign it!"

Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan looked at each other and both laughed triumphantly.

This time they finally regained the face they had lost in front of her before, and they also breathed a sigh of relief, feeling relieved!

Hu Bayi then went to the backyard and called Rosen out. After watching Shirley Yang sign the contract in person, the trip was finally finalized.

Chen Jiuren then talked about why they wanted to change their route to Kunlun Glacier. On the one hand, it was to look for his old friend who had disappeared there, and on the other hand, it was to look for a notebook. The more important reason was that Shirley Yang wanted to complete the journey that her father had not completed.

"This is a very rare opportunity. If we can find the ancient city of Jingjue and complete our archaeological research plan, many historical mysteries will be solved and the study of Western Region culture will open a new chapter." Chen Jiuren said with a smile on his face and looked forward to it.

"Then I wish you can get what you want." Rosen said.

"Not just me, if there are any results, you will also have a share." Chen Jiuren said.

"That's not necessary." Rosen said calmly, "I won't take a penny from you, and I won't take any responsibility. The reason I went there was to accompany my two brothers, so what you said has nothing to do with me."

"You spend the money, and we do the work. It's that simple." Hu Bayi added, "As for the historical significance, you can study it slowly. We don't understand."

The words were unpleasant to hear, but the attitude was very clear.

Chen Jiuren sighed lightly and finally had to accept this reality.

The next day, everyone boarded a train heading west.

After arriving at the Kunlun Mountain Pass, Chen Jiuren and others did not rush into the mountains, but first contacted the troops here and got their help.

So two more armed soldiers joined the team, one was a "big guy" from the Northeast, one was a Tibetan soldier "Gawa", and the other was Xiaolin, who was only sixteen years old.

Led by Hu Bayi, the group walked into the Kunlun Glacier and headed towards the eastern slope where Chen Jiuren said cracks appeared due to the earthquake.

Although it is just late autumn outside, it has already snowed several times here. There is snow everywhere, and half of your leg will sink into the snow if you step on it.

Everyone had a hard time walking, but no one gave up.
