The Thirty-Seventh Chapter

Professor Chen and his team were still studying the ghost scribbles on the stone wall. Hu Ming and the others couldn't wait any longer and went forward to take a look.

Hu Bayi became a little interested and asked Lin Xuan, "Mingzi, do you know what this says? Aren't you very familiar with Jingjue Ancient City? Tell me and Fatty about it!"

Hu Ming nodded upon hearing this and said, "Alright, since you want to know, I'll tell you what's written here!"

"This is about the origin of the Demon Country."

"Demon Country?" Hu Bayi and Fatty exchanged glances, surprised. "How did this get to the Demon Country?"

Hu Ming nodded and then said, "The Demon Country was the predecessor of the Jingjue Ancient Kingdom."

"Both the Jingjue Kingdom and the Demon Country were nations established by the Ghost Cave Ancestors."

"The reason the Demon Country was founded was that in the early days, the Ghost Cave Tribe was oppressed and reduced to slavery. Later, a prodigy emerged from the Ghost Cave Tribe, who was skilled in military strategy and could craft sharp weapons and arrows. He led his tribesmen in rebellion, successfully defeated their opponents, and established the Demon Country."

"After the Demon Country was established, they found a natural mountain cavern and built a Nine-story Demon Tower. The successive kings were placed inside after their deaths, and all the successive kings were women..."

Fatty and Hu Bayi couldn't help but sigh, realizing how the Demon Country was formed.

Yang Xueli saw the three brothers pointing at the stone wall and chatting happily. She frowned because Hu Ming and the other two were speaking softly, so she, standing far away, couldn't hear their conversation.

At this moment, Hao Aiguo and the others also noticed the three Hu Ming brothers behind them.

Hao Aiguo saw all three of them walking over and staring at the stone wall, discussing it. A hint of disdain appeared in his eyes.

Hao Aiguo stood up and walked to Fatty's side, saying, "Comrade Little Fatty, if you don't understand, ask us. Don't be shy. It's just a pity you're not well-educated. Did you even finish high school? Looking at you, you probably didn't even finish junior high!"

Hu Ming and the other two were stunned. Why did he suddenly come over and start criticizing them?

Fatty, who had reacted, couldn't help but want to punch Hao Aiguo a few times. Who did he think he was looking down on?

"Comrade Little Fatty, your culture is too low, you're practically uncultured. We can only tell you this is Ghost Cave Script; you wouldn't understand anything else..."

Hao Aiguo sighed, seemingly pitying Fatty for his lack of culture.

Hu Bayi gritted his teeth. Wasn't this clearly saying that he and Fatty were uncultured?

"Aiguo, how can you say that?" Professor Chen said displeasedly after Hao Aiguo finished speaking.

Fatty couldn't help but retort angrily, "I graduated from high school legitimately."

Seeing that these people were looking down on Fatty.

At this moment, Hu Ming stepped forward and said, "Who are you all looking down on?"

When everyone saw Hu Ming come out, they stopped talking.

Hao Aiguo, however, shouted, "Who knows if Comrade Little Fatty is telling the truth."

Hu Ming's eyes narrowed. "Fatty is telling the truth. Fatty is the only son of a high-ranking official. Old Hu's father, my uncle, studied abroad with my mother. Later, he defected to the revolutionary holy land of Yan'an. He became a regimental commander and eventually died due to some incidents. Old Hu and Fatty only went down to the countryside when they were eighteen, right after they finished high school."

Except for Yang Xueli and Professor Sun, who knew a little about Hu Bayi and Fatty's background, everyone else knew nothing.

However, even Yang Xueli and Professor Chen didn't expect that what Big Gold Tooth said was true; their parents were also extraordinary. Yang Xueli and Professor Chen had thought Big Gold Tooth was just exaggerating.

The others all looked at Hu Bayi and Fatty, not expecting that these two also had extraordinary backgrounds.

Hu Ming said expressionlessly, "Also, do you know what this says? Do you want me to translate it for you?"

Professor Chen couldn't help but ask, "Comrade Xiao Ming knows the content of this Ghost Cave Script on the wall?"

Hu Ming nodded. "This says it's about the Demon Country..."

Professor Chen took notes as Hu Ming spoke.

Hu Ming repeated what he had told Hu Bayi and the other one.

After Hu Ming finished speaking, he looked at Hao Aiguo and said, "I don't know if what I said is correct."

Hao Aiguo opened his mouth. They had only translated part of the content, so how would he know if it was correct? However, the translated content matched what Hu Ming said.

At this moment, Professor Chen said, "That's correct. Thank you, Comrade Hu Ming."

This left Hao Aiguo and the others feeling very embarrassed. They had intended to use their expertise to put down Hu Bayi and the other two.
