Time seemed to have stopped for two seconds. Fatty Zou squatted on the spot with his mouth wide open, just like a big toad that had difficulty breathing. He now fully understood that this kid had discovered the entrance to the underground palace a long time ago. Just now he was just
Playing with him.
Xu Qing patted the old gray on his hand and extended his hand to General Geng standing aside: "I don't know if there are poor countries, but I seem to have won the bet this time."
General Geng smiled and put both pendants into Xu Qing's palm, lowered his voice and said, "You must know how to respect your elders. Dr. Zou is still a good person even though he is a bit loud."
Xu Qing nodded and smiled, walked quickly to Dr. Zou who was still squatting on the ground with his mouth open, bowed and put his hand forward and said: "Doctor, get up!"
Fatty Zou moved his lips twice, stood up with his outstretched palm, and felt a warm object in his palm. He turned it over and saw that it was the jade dice. He shook his head and was about to stuff the dice back into Xu Qing's hand.
In his hand, he whispered: "I am willing to admit defeat. People named Zou never default on their debts. I can't have this thing."
Xu Qing raised his hand and said with a smile: "To tell you the truth, I carved this jade dice. If you like it, keep it. Maybe you can make an advertisement for us in the future. Come on, let's prepare to enter the underground palace.
!”
Two lights flashed in Fatty Zou's eyes, and the expression on his face suddenly became excited. He clenched the jade dice and said, "Are you Xu Qing? Xu Qing, the world's gambling king?" As a senior gambler, he asked the name of the world's gambling king Xu Qing.
I think about it every day, this old man even has a gambling ace in his house, and he prays to him devoutly with three sticks of incense in the morning and evening, not for money, but to win every time he gambles.
Xu Qing touched his nose and said: "Xu Qing is me. When I participated in the Gambling King Competition, it was all for the mission. In fact, it's not a big deal."
Fatty Zou stepped forward and took Xu Qing's hand, and said with excitement: "Being able to gamble with the world's gambling king is worth my life. I didn't lose unfairly. I should have lost. I deserved to lose!"
The old man has now forgotten about the discovery of poor countries. As a gambler, what can be more satisfying than gambling with the God in your heart? The answer is naturally no.
Xu Qing quickly withdrew his palm, wiped it hard on the edge of his pants twice, and said in a low voice: "Let's go, let's gamble some more when we have time after everything is over, don't delay the business." After saying that, he turned around and walked straight towards it.
At the entrance to the underground palace, he was here to perform a mission and had no time to study gambling with Dr. Zou.
Fatty Zou was immersed in immense joy at this time. For him, the name Xu Qing was his idol, the supreme god of gambling. In fact, he had watched the video of Xu Qing killing everyone in Las Vegas hundreds of times.
, with great reverence every time, but he never dreamed that one day he would bet against the God in his heart. Even if he lost, it would be an honor! When he heard Xu Qing's last words, he almost shed tears on the spot with excitement,
A few more bets, there is still a chance to bet a few more...
Dr. Zou was not only excited at this moment, but also Geng Yunpeng and five other scientists. They were squatting in front of the stone slab, carefully observing the pattern on the surface of the stone slab with a magnifying glass. Xu Qing, who was standing aside, could
It is concluded that the stone slabs covering each entrance are carved with the same pattern, a picture of Hou Yi shooting the sun.
Geng Yunpeng rubbed the pattern on the stone slab with his palm, feeling its ancient and desolate atmosphere. He could almost confirm one thing in his heart. Even if this ancient city is not the ruins of the Poor Country, it has a lot to do with it. If it can be found in the underground palace
With some valuable evidence, everything will be explained more comprehensively. This will be a major breakthrough in the history of Chinese archaeology, and everyone involved in this excavation will leave a mark in history.
Ordinary people only want three meals a day and some extra money in their pockets. This kind of life is what they want. But some people no longer need to worry about these problems. What they pursue is fame and fortune. As a scientist, there is nothing better than being in the professional field.
What is even more gratifying is that they have made breakthrough progress in the field. Leaving a name in history is their lifelong pursuit.
"You see, these hieroglyphics should be about the time when the Youqiong clan was the most powerful. They used the bow as the clan symbol. Some data show that the poor is the dome. Look at this picture, the houses where people live.
Does it look like Qionglu? It is very similar to the current yurt. The legendary Youqiong clan, also known as the Yi clan, is a clan that is good at shooting and fierce. They guard the Kunlun Tianzhu, which is a treasure that can communicate with the gods in the sky.
Give the tribesmen powerful strength..."
The speaker was an old man with white hair. He was narrating the history of a poor country while using the magnifying glass in his hand to push over the stone slab pattern. There were dozens of patterns carved on a stone slab, and he could actually tell dozens of paragraphs.
The reason is that some are myths and legends, some are unofficial histories, and there are even those little-known stories of ancient palace battles, such as Hanzhuo having an affair with Chunhu, killing Houyi, mincing his body into pulp, and mixing it with poison to Youqiong.
Even Xu Qing on the side listened with gusto, and had the urge to go into the underground palace to find out.
There is a poor country, a country established by a powerful ancient clan. It can be said to be the originator of the use of bows and arrows. Hou Yi, the king of the poor country, is extremely powerful and has godlike arrow skills. Legend has it that he shot down the eight three-legged golden crows that made trouble with his bow and arrows.
, that is, the sun that shines on the earth. If you use modern human logic, you will not believe these legends. Let alone bows and arrows, even if you use the most advanced missiles to wrap all the nuclear bombs in the world, you will not be able to destroy the sun, because it is not enough.
It's irrelevant.
Myths and legends are beautiful, but from the rational point of view of modern people, they are all fictitious things. In reality, it is impossible for nine suns to appear, let alone a god who shoots arrows out of the atmosphere. Everything is in people's minds.
An imaginary thing with no scientific basis at all.
Geng Yunpeng and the six scientists still have no intention of entering the underground palace to explore the secrets. Just a stone slab covering the entrance is enough for them to study for a long time. This group of old men, who are over 500 years old in total, are like a group of children who have discovered their favorite toys.
They were analyzing and talking around the stone slab, neither thirsty nor dry throated. They were talking happily, leaving Xu Qing, a layman, aside.
Xu Qing listened to what they said and the stories, and from time to time he would hold his cheek and ask a few questions. These old men actually rushed to answer, everyone expressed their opinions, and from time to time they would take out various objects to identify the patterns on the stone slabs.
Such a slate became the most dazzling star in their eyes. They took hundreds of photos. From time to time, they would ask General Xu next to them to do some labor, turning a slate weighing several hundred kilograms over and over for fun.
