Chapter 116: Zhou Wangcheng?
In fact, the entire treasure exploration circle is not interested in the so-called ancient city ruins and palace ruins.
In their cunning eyes, which were only interested in the glitter of gold jewels, they were nothing more than rags.
What could it be?
Piles of broken bricks and tiles?
Collapsed boulders everywhere?
In addition to being able to prove the so-called artistic atmosphere of the ancients, if you get it now, you can only sell tickets for money at most.
Well, of course, it's not all about that.
For example, the Parthenon, because of its sturdy appearance, is said to have been used as a vault by many dynasties. But now, the ticket is twelve euros, and except for a fool like Xing Jie, who loves architecture, basically no one goes to see the legendary virgin palace.
The main reason why I am not interested in the ruins of the ancient city is not because there is no oil and water to fish?
Especially since it is an ancient city built by such nomads, it is hard to believe that there will be any gold, silver and jewelry here.
Are the ancients stupid?
It's not that I can't wait to take away the land when I move, after all, no one's money is blown by the wind.
Therefore, except for professional archaeologists, no one in the treasure hunting circle likes to come to this kind of place.
As for a studio like the one in the Jordanian Underground Palace?
That was the exception, and it was a natural disaster.
Who isn't afraid of those monsters who like to burrow into the ground?
A mouth that either spits sour water or has sharp teeth, and if you bite into your body, it hurts just to think about it.
Or why do you hate Xing Jie?
The discovery of gold diopside in a dilapidated underground cinema broke the law of the ancient city's unprofitable.
Everyone is envious, jealous and hateful.
And the ancient city in front of him was scraped by the legendary Grande Jean Axel, with the three-foot-high fame everywhere he went, he did not reap the benefits, and the degree of singleness of this ancient city can be imagined.
So, while the whole Turkmen Abad region knows about an old abandoned ancient city, few people are interested in it.
In the last century, there were still people passing by here to rest, now?
Since Kurban forcibly opened the road, there is not even a ghost here!
……
"Brother Jie, do you think there will be good things here? Why do I look at this place is all in tatters?"
"Biaozi, isn't it good to read more books if you have something to do in the future? Look at the video sent back by this drone, what do you think?"
"It's nothing, the houses don't even have roofs. ”
Biaozi was smoking a cigarette boringly, and Ibn Rahman on the side was also watching the video with a confused face. In their eyes, this place is similar to the war-torn Basra in Iraq. Of course, if this is compared, it is not as good as the scene after being bombed by the US military.
Xing Jie shook his head, took out the tablet, pulled up a folder, opened it and put it in Biaozi's hand.
"Take a good look, this is the ruins of the ancient city of Loulan in the Western Regions, as well as the ruins of Shanshanguo, do you see any difference?"
Biao Zi compared the original appearance and restoration drawings of the two ancient cities, and then compared the dilapidated ruins in front of him, and looked hard for a long time. After glancing at each other, Ibn Rahman shook his head with difficulty, indicating that he could not see much difference.
Isn't it just a big square frame city wall, and then there are some houses in the middle?
What's this, aren't all ancient cities like this?
Xing Jie was completely defeated by the confused expressions of Biaozi and Ibn Rahman, but it was a bit embarrassing to expect the two mercenaries to be able to see what the difference was here.
"What's the most important thing in the desert, and if you were to choose a campsite, what would it be?"
"Needless to say, the most important thing in the desert is, of course, water. If you choose a campsite, if you can find an oasis, it will be the best. ”
"Do you know that it is water? The two ancient cities of Loulan and Shanshan had to be relocated because the Tarim River and the Peacock River, which flow through the two countries, dried up. But do you see that there is a water source in this ancient city? The closest water source to this place is the Amu Darya River, but the distance in a straight line is an astonishing 100 kilometers! Who would be so stupid to build a city in a place where there is no water? But the facts are in front of us, and this has to be said to be a question. The second question is ......"
"Maybe someone dug a well here?"
Biao Zi interrupted Xing Jie's words as soon as he opened his mouth, but he was ruthlessly despised.
"You all know that a camp needs to be an oasis, don't people from a country know that you have to dig a well? You have been in Turkmenabad for so many years, and that place is less than a kilometer from the Amu Darya River, do you see a well in the city?
Let's not talk about whether we can dig out the water, let's just say that the place on the south bank of the Amu Darya River that is easy to defend and difficult to attack will not be built and the city will be built here? This is neither a transportation artery, nor a place where soldiers must fight, but a big desert, do you say that these people of the Dayue clan have their brains in the water?"
"That means they must have found something great here. And this thing can't be moved yet, and it's very precious. That's why they had to build the sacrificial place here, of course, they must have found a water source, otherwise no one can live here without water, even if it is a precious thing. This more than 100 kilometers is really fatal. Ibn Rahman said suddenly.
Hearing this, Xing Jie nodded with satisfaction.
It seems that Biaozi has found a very good partner, regardless of whether what he said is right or not, it is enough to be able to see his brother suffering and immediately come out to solve the siege.
Xing Jie didn't say anything more, just carefully observed the video.
He did have relatively accurate information in his hands, but more than two thousand years have passed, and he is in the desert, sometimes a sandstorm blows a tall sand dune, and the surface reference will definitely disappear in an instant.
Besides, that Frenchman Jean Axel was not unknown, and he was not inferior to Professor Clint in the archaeological community back then.
If he hadn't died early, the French treasure team would not have been reduced to a second-rate team.
Therefore, Xing Jie and the three of them can think of the question, how could Axel not think of it?
When things go wrong, there must be demons, this is common sense!
How could such a city fail to arouse his interest?
The reason why he returned empty-handed, it seems that when the Otsutsuki clan designed this city, they also worked hard, and it can even be said that there were experts to guide them.
Otherwise, this is the highest place of sacrifice.
It is equivalent to the Temple of Heaven in China.
The place closest to the gods in their hearts, how could it be casual?
But the power of time is always the strongest, let it be immortal, and finally disappear into the vast sea of sand. If you want to discover this mysterious city again, this is the time to look at the power of modern technology.
At this time, all the data of the ancient city scanned by the drone had been transmitted to Xing Jie's computer.
Seeing that the computer was rapidly simulating the construction of the entire ancient city, Xing Jie's brows were tightly furrowed.
The structure of this sacrificial city looks so familiar, and I always feel like I've seen this layout somewhere. But in addition to the real ancient city, it was still seen in the illusion, and Xing Jie had never seen anything else, why did he have such a strange feeling?
"I'm going, the layout is so exaggerated? Are these people going to build an imperial city here? It's really a special turtle, a little bit of power, I want to be the boss, and the pattern is too small. Biao Zi looked at the cigar for a while, and then laughed.
Oh, that's right.
Nine gates, the only one that can open nine gates on the city wall is the imperial city.
The layout of Zhou Wangcheng in "Zhou Li Examination Work"?
Damn it.
That's too bold, isn't it?
