and.
The reason he came to Hu Yifei to ask for the sword talisman was to ensure his own safety.
After all, the divination master's twelve-character divination statement was quite clear.
"Perilous situation, uncertainties, and a futile effort!"
The journey to the ancient city of Jingjue is fraught with danger; half the people may die, and in the end, you may gain nothing!
If Li Yang truly understands the Jingjue Ancient City well enough, they can prepare in advance and perhaps turn danger into safety.
Hu Bayi was very clever; his eyes lit up and he came up with a good idea.
Why not just bring Li Yang into the archaeological team?
However, he didn't have the final say on this matter; the recruitment of members for the archaeological team was decided by Professor Chen and Shirley Yang.
Thinking of this, Hu Bayi quickly said, "Brother Li, I don't know anything about the Jingjue Ancient City, but I know someone who is interested in it."
"Could I call two people over to listen together?"
"And if the information you provide is accurate enough, you might even make some money, in US dollars!"
Chapter Eight: Shirley Yang's Shock! The Past and Present of the Ancient City of Jingjue!
The people Hu Bayi wanted to call were naturally Professor Chen and Shirley Yang.
However, there were three people who came, and the other one was Professor Chen's assistant, Hao Aiguo.
Professor Chen and Hao Aiguo were both somewhat bookish, and they clearly felt uncomfortable in the lively atmosphere of a bar.
Professor Chen was dignified and knew how to navigate social situations. Although his face was stiff, he still smiled and exchanged a few pleasantries with the people from Love Apartment.
His assistant, Hao Aiguo, was a bookworm who muttered things like, "This isn't a good place," and "What kind of archaeology expert would like a bar?"
After seeing the group of young people in Love Apartment, they became even more dismissive.
“Team Leader Hu, I’m not trying to nitpick, but you’re saying that any of these young people really know anything about the history of Jingjue Ancient City? None of them look over thirty, how could they possibly know about Jingjue Ancient City?”
Hu Bayi won over Hao Aiguo with his celestial feng shui skills and gained his approval, so he was willing to call him team leader.
However, when faced with a group of young people from the Love Apartment, Hao Aiguo displayed his arrogance as a highly educated intellectual.
Professor Chen pulled Hao Aiguo aside, "Aiguo, don't say that. Ambition knows no age. Gan Luo was only twelve years old when he became prime minister. Since Team Leader Hu invited us here, he must have some confidence."
Then, he looked at the people from Love Apartment and asked kindly, "May I ask which young comrade has any knowledge about the Jingjue Ancient City?"
Everyone stared intently at Li Yang.
A look of surprise appeared on Professor Chen's face.
In his opinion, among the young people present, Li Yang was the least likely to know the history of Jingjue Ancient City.
Because Li Yang is excessively handsome, even more so than the idol stars on TV, and has a better temperament.
How could someone like that possibly have the mind to devote themselves to archaeological research?
Shirley Yang took a cocktail from the bar and walked over. She was the one who was most comfortable in the bar atmosphere among the three who had just arrived.
Shirley Yang is a female celebrity that Li Yang is familiar with. She is about twenty-six or twenty-seven years old and looks like a top-quality peach.
One bite, and it's so tender and juicy!
Seeing that everyone was looking at the same person, Shirley Yang also turned her gaze to Li Yang.
Shirley Yang's eyes lit up the moment she saw Li Yang.
I just think this man is so handsome!
Even in a crowd, she shines like a bright pearl!
Shirley Yang grew up in the United States and has a cheerful and outgoing personality. Seeing that there was an empty seat on the sofa next to Li Yang, she squeezed in and sat down next to him, and took the initiative to reach out her hand to him.
"Let me introduce myself. My name is Shirley Yang. I am a photographer for National Geographic magazine and also a member of the archaeological team for the Jingjue Ancient City."
Li Yang smiled slightly and gently shook hands with Shirley Yang.
"My name is Li Yang, and I'm a tenant at Love Apartment!"
Shirley Yang was taken aback.
What is the identity of the tenants in Love Apartment?
However, she suddenly felt a cool sensation coming from Li Yang's hand.
The aura quickly spread from her arm to a spot on her right shoulder.
next moment.
A feeling of unparalleled comfort washed over Shirley Yang.
Like rain after a long drought, the refreshing feeling almost made Shirley Yang groan out loud.
Fortunately, at the crucial moment she pretended to cough and covered her mouth and nose with her left hand, so that she wouldn't make a hoarse sound in public.
But her right hand gripped Li Yang's hand tightly, unwilling to let go, like a drowning person grasping at a straw.
Shirley Yang knew very well what was wrong with her right shoulder.
Red eye markings!
This is their family's curse!
According to my grandfather's diary, this curse has accompanied their family for over a thousand years!
Anyone cursed with this red-eyed mark has never lived past fifty!
Her maternal grandfather and mother both died from red eye marks!
Her father went to the ancient city of Jingjue in search of a way to break the curse of the red-eyed mark and disappeared without a trace!
It can be said.
To date, no one in their family has ever found a way to break the curse of the red-eyed mark, or even a way to restrain it!
These red eye marks occasionally cause a burning, stinging pain, but over the years, Shirley Yang has gradually gotten used to them.
However, the cool aura emanating from Li Yang had slightly reduced the corrosive power of the Red Eye Mark Curse, which greatly shocked Shirley Yang!

……
"Miss Yang, what's wrong?"
Li Yang roused Shirley Yang from her daze.
He was a little confused. What was going on?
Shirley Yang alone contributed a full ten points of happiness to him in just over a minute!
That's a whopping 10 points of happiness!
In the past, he would have had to fight Ah Cha ten times to get this many happiness points!
aside.
Meijia pouted in dissatisfaction as she saw Shirley Yang holding onto Li Yang's hand tightly.
"How could she do this? Handsome guys belong to everyone. I've known Li Yang for much longer than her, and I haven't even held his hand yet!"
Shirley Yang regained consciousness and subconsciously let go of Li Yang's hand; the cool sensation vanished instantly.
For a moment, Shirley Yang felt somewhat lost.
A slight burning sensation returned to her right shoulder, prompting her to rub the back of her hand against Li Yang's arm, which was exposed outside his short-sleeved shirt.
A cool breeze wafted over again, suppressing the pain from the red-eyed mark curse.
[Happiness percentage +1%]
Shirley Yang is now 100% certain that Li Yang is no ordinary person; he was able to suppress the family's curse that has lasted for thousands of years!
This discovery thrilled Shirley Young.
She stared intently at Li Yang, as if she were looking at a rare treasure.
Just a gentle rub is enough to suppress the invasion of the red-eyed mark curse.
If we go a step further, is it possible to completely eliminate the curse?
aside.
Lu Ziqiao gently nudged Zeng Xiaoxian's shoulder.
"Teacher Zeng, did you see that? Shirley Yang's eyes are strange when she looks at Li Yang. She looks like she wants to devour him alive."
"If there weren't so many people here, I'd be worried she would have executed Li Yang on the spot!"
"Tsk tsk, Li Yang's face is simply unfair!"
On the other side.
Fatty Wang was also whispering something to Hu Bayi.
"Hey, this girl from America is really outrageous! She's already taking advantage of Brother Li on our first meeting!"
"If we really recruit Brother Li into the archaeological team, wouldn't that pretty American girl try to take advantage of him?"
Professor Chen had no idea that these young people were having so much fun right under his nose; he was only interested in the Jingjue Ancient City.
"Comrade Li, what information do you have about the ancient city of Jingjue?"
"If the information you provided is true, our archaeological team can offer you a reward ranging from $100,000 to $500,000, depending on the value of the information."
"Shirley, do you think it's okay?"
As the major financial backer of the archaeological team, Professor Chen naturally had to ask Shirley Yang for her opinion.
Shirley Yang was happily rubbing her arm against Li Yang's with the back of her hand when Professor Chen suddenly called on her. Panicked, her face flushed, she said:
"I'll do whatever you say, Uncle Chen!"
Shirley Yang's father and Professor Chen were close friends, so she called Professor Chen "uncle".
Li Yang said calmly, "To talk about the Jingjue Ancient City, we have to go back to three hundred million years ago..."
As soon as he finished speaking, Hao Aiguo, who was standing next to him, couldn't hold back anymore.
"Three hundred million years ago? Did the ancient city of Jingjue exist back then?"
"Our ancestors were still in the trees!"
"No, that was the age of dinosaurs, wasn't it?"
Why don't you start from when the Earth was first formed, or when the universe was first created?
Li Yang smiled slightly, "Then let's start from the beginning of the universe..."
"The ancient gods of chaos existed at the very beginning of the universe!"
"When the Earth was born 4.6 billion years ago, a giant serpent-shaped ancient god of chaos descended upon Mount Zagrama."
Everyone stared at Li Yang in utter bewilderment.
You're really going to start from the creation of the universe and the birth of the Earth?!
Chapter Nine: The Dust-Repelling Pearl! Successor of the Mountain-Moving Daoist!
"About 300 million years ago, the enormous body of the serpent god transformed into a bottomless cave deep within the Zaglama Mountains, known as the Ghost Cave!"
"And the story begins 4,500 years ago when the first ancient people who came to the Zaglama Mountains discovered the Ghost Cave!"
Everyone present breathed a sigh of relief when they heard Li Yang shorten the time span to 4,500 years.
Professor Chen, who had been holding his breath, relaxed and let out a long sigh. As a meticulous scholar, he couldn't help but ask:
"So, the ancient city of Jingjue was built 4,500 years ago?"
"My God, this is a great new discovery... According to historical records, the ancient city of Jingjue was destroyed in the fourth century AD, which is during the Wei, Jin and Southern and Northern Dynasties!"
