From Under One Person: Sincere Journey Through the Heavens

Adez Bay knelt on one knee, accepting the mission to revive the atmosphere of Selkhate and restore its jungle to its former glory...

# Chapter 561 Public Examination —

After his trip to Hamunaptra and Amshe Oasis, O'Connor bid farewell to Jiang Liu and the others, preparing to return to England. He planned to use the antiques and gold he had acquired in Hamunaptra to buy a manor, marry a wife, have a child, and then live a happy life.

"What kind of fairy tale protagonist are you?"

Evelyn retorted, "And shouldn't you be taking out the antiques you obtained from Hamunaptra? They're the treasures of all human civilization!"

“Sorry, what I found is mine! Besides, what’s this talk of wealth for all mankind? If I gave it to you, it would just become an exhibit in the British Museum.” O’Connor said, then shouted “Giddy up!” He whipped his horse and left the group first, disappearing into the desert.

"Don't worry, my dear sister."

Jonathan pulled a palm-sized stone slab from his pocket, inscribed with ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs, proving the existence of Hamunaptra. "Wasn't I prescient?"

"This is the most worthless thing you've ever picked up." Even so, Evelyn still took it—something is better than nothing.

However, she was still somewhat dissatisfied.

What she clearly wanted was the Golden Book of the Sun!

However, the Book of the Sun and the Book of the Dead are both "magic books," and even if we obtained them from Jiang Liu, we couldn't donate them to a museum...

"Professor Evelyn, we've successfully completed this archaeological mission. Your status as official international students is now a certainty, right?" Jiang Liu asked with a grin.

"We haven't gained anything. How am I supposed to convince the professors at Cairo University?"

Evelyn rolled her eyes. "Are you suggesting we defeated the Scorpion King and saved the world? Nobody would believe that. Even when Imhotep caused trouble in Cairo, he was labeled a terrorist or a local warlord."

"What about adding this?" Jiang Liu reached out and touched his storage ring, taking out a bracelet with a wolf's head and a scorpion's body, made entirely of gold.

It was the Death Bracelet.

Evelyn snatched it away, exclaiming, "The Death Bracelet! The legendary symbol of the Scorpion King's status! How did it end up in your hands?"

"Found it."

Jiang Liu smiled slightly, "With this, our official international student status shouldn't be a problem, right?"

"Of course, no problem."

Evelyn readily agreed, but then wondered, "Shouldn't this also be a magical item?"

"To be more precise, it is an alchemical creation. But please rest assured, Teacher Evelyn, the alchemical runes inside have been destroyed by me, and it is now an ancient work of art."

Jiang Liu explained, "This proves that the Scorpion King was a real historical figure. Moreover, if all goes well, Ades Bay and his descendants will dedicate themselves to transforming the desert into an oasis. Perhaps one day in the future, people will be able to set foot on the land of Serket and experience the true ancient Egypt!"

“That’s not necessarily true. Nowadays, most people believe that ancient Egypt was a desert in the past.” Evelyn thought this was nonsense.

"But if you think about it carefully, you'll realize that if ancient Egypt had been covered in desert in the distant past, the towering pyramids would never have been built."

Jiang Liu stated a fact: "Furthermore, as a historian, isn't it your duty, Professor Evelyn, to present the true history to the world?"

It's impossible to simply present all the past glories while hiding all the backwardness and ignorance, right?

Gee!

That would be fooling the world!

Sometimes I even want to call you teacher! Life mentor! If you were to open a lecture hall, I'm sure many people would be willing to pay to attend!

Evelyn quipped, "Of course, that's on the condition that your skin is white, otherwise not many people will bother with you."

"That's not necessarily true."

Jiang Liu made a pointed remark, "Moreover, in my hometown, I have already been preaching in public places, free of charge."

"Oh, free? Then you must be missing out on tons of opportunities to make a fortune!"

Jonathan exclaimed in surprise, pondering whether he should promote Jiang Liu and have him make a movie with Lu Jin and Duanmu Ying to make a fortune together.

For example: mysterious Eastern magic! And kung fu!

no doubt.

Jiang Liu, Lu Jin, and Duanmu Ying all declined, but Jiang Liu said he would learn about the filming techniques and equipment used in the movie, intending to bring them back in the future...

···

"Those guys! They ruined my Imhotep! They ruined my dream of ruling the world!"

On the other side of the Amshe Oasis, Ansuna gritted her teeth.

"Um, how will you pay me?" The guide, Benny, had also survived and sought refuge with Ansuna.

However, Ansuna was different from Imhotep; she had no magic, only brute force. She grabbed Imhotep by the neck and said, "The reward is that I will give you the opportunity to be second only to one person and above ten thousand others."

Benny was speechless. Everything's subject to comparison; he was starting to miss the days when Imhotep was his master…

···

Return to Cairo.

The panic created by Imhotep is now a thing of the past.

After all, during the British and French colonial period, there were quite a few gangs and terrorists in the city, and one or two gang fights would happen every day, so the citizens of the city were used to it.

With the Death Bracelet and a palm-sized stone slab, Evelyn proved to the archaeological community the existence of the ancient Egyptian city of the dead and the city of the dead, and also proved that the Scorpion King was not a fictional character in ancient Egyptian history, making her famous overnight.

Correspondingly, Jiang Liu, Lu Jin, and Duanmu Ying also obtained official international student status, making them the only three Oriental students with official international student status.

This naturally aroused the curiosity of the other students, as well as other international students from the East.

Therefore, in his spare time, Jiang Liu also organized a club: Shenzhou Club, inviting all international students from the East to join.

of course.

Western students, and even local Egyptian students, are welcome to join if they wish.

At the beginning.

Apart from the Asian students, everyone else was just watching the spectacle with amusement, but to everyone's surprise, the library director, Mr. Terence, also came to join in the fun.

Terence once tried to stop Evelyn from exploring Hamunna Tower by burning the map leading to it... He was also a descendant of the Medgar warriors!

It wasn't because of his age that he didn't participate in the responsibility of guarding Hamunaptra, but rather because the Medgar warriors needed to consult historical records when necessary. Terence was a "civil servant" among the Medgar warriors, responsible for providing documents for their operations and transmitting intelligence.

This explains why the ship was attacked by the Medgar warriors – it was Terence who sent the message, instructing the Medgar warriors to stop Evelyn.

Now, Terence has received orders from Ades Bay to meet all of Jiang Liu's demands as much as possible, and naturally, he must support Jiang Liu's actions.

With Terence's endorsement, the other Asian students gradually gained official international student status... but there was a prerequisite: they needed to take an assessment or test, which was a public exam against local students in the same major and students from other countries, to prove the wisdom of the Asians.

note!

The key point is "openness," not the exam itself.

But for international students from China, this is a piece of cake.

roll!

This can be considered one of the characteristics of the people of China...

···

After Isaac and Hermione returned to Cairo, they wrote a letter to Flammel Institute informing them of Ron's passing.

Why not go back to Flammel College in person?

Neither Isaac nor Hermione planned to return before finishing their studies...

# Chapter 562 Hetu Luoshu (Blank)

"If you're not fair-skinned, the roads will be difficult to travel."

Seeing his compatriots excited about having the opportunity to prove themselves publicly, Lu Jin was deeply moved.

"Even if it's difficult, we have to go. Who says our hometown is lagging behind the world at this stage?"

Jiang Liu shrugged and smiled, "However, this is only for the current stage. In less than a hundred years, our hometown will also be greatly changed."

That's all.

Jiang Liu asked Lu Jin to stay and take charge of the Shenzhou Society, while he went to the library.

Below the library is a basement, which was secretly built by the Medgar warriors when Cairo University was first constructed. The purpose was to provide them with a place to hide and escape in case they were being pursued or captured by other forces.

Because of Cairo University's reputation and the fact that many of its teachers are French or British—in those days, anyone who could teach abroad had some kind of powerful background—the local British, French, and their patrolling troops dared not search Cairo University rashly.

Social skills and interpersonal relationships

Foreigners say it too!

But there's a prerequisite:

you--

Born in a powerful country.

Or it may be due to its own strength.

To gain a foothold in the West, one must be assertive and show one's strength. Otherwise, Westerners don't care if you are hiding your abilities. If they think you are easy to bully, they will take the initiative to provoke you and enjoy doing so.

This basement was originally used by the Medgar warriors to evade capture, but they never used it. Now it has been given to Jiang Liu by Terence and Ades Bay.

In a short period of time, this basement was transformed into a secret base for Jiang Liu, Lu Jin, and Duanmu Ying, divided into three areas: a conference room, a meditation room, and a research room.

The research within the laboratory mainly focuses on three areas: medicine, alchemy, and qi cultivation.

The study of the Qi formation mainly involves the Black Book of the Dead and the Golden Book of the Sun. The text content on them is not important; it is merely a means to assist the holder in casting spells and manipulating the Qi formation. What can truly affect the Qi formation is the material of these two books themselves.

According to legend, the Book of the Dead is made of obsidian, while the Book of the Sun is made of gold.

But that's not the case.

According to the ancient Egyptian wisdom of Tuatne, these two scriptures are not made of obsidian or gold, but of sand. The ancient Egyptians searched for meteorites from outer space, ground them into sand, and then gathered the sand into soil. Finally, through a long process of nurturing with Qi, the sand underwent two qualitative changes, forming a state similar to obsidian and gold, which can connect with the innate and acquired Qi points of the Serket Qi Bureau.

The innate and acquired acupoints of Qi can also be observed and corresponded to using the principles of the "Hetu" and "Luoshu".

The mechanisms, runes, and incantations set inside these two scriptures are merely tools to assist the holder in casting spells.
