"Brother, what is this?"

Looking at the thing that was broken in half in Fang Yi's hand, Peng Bin curiously reached out and took half of it, but with a little force, the thing that he didn't know what material was crushed into pieces by him and fell from between Peng Bin's fingers. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"This should be a mirror...... Fang Yi said uncertainly: "But it's not the same as those bronze mirrors unearthed in China, this thing seems to have not been smelted, and was directly made of ore." ”

"Can't it, right? How can it be molded into unrefined ore?" After hearing Fang Yi's words, Peng Bin couldn't help but shake his head again and again, the Peng family has gold, silver and iron ore on the territory of Myanmar, and Peng Bin still understands some about the mining and smelting of ore.

"It's hard to say, if the purity of the ore is very high, it is still possible......"

Fang Yi carefully looked at the remaining half of the objects in his hand, put them on the tip of his nose and sniffed the taste, and then said: "The people who live here, the smelting level of steel is very average, but they have very pure metal ores here, let's look for them later." ”

After a long period of time, this thing in Fang Yi's hand has been almost oxidized and corroded, but Fang Yi can still see some clues from it, if there is a modern precision instrument, then Fang Yi will be able to analyze the specific composition of this thing immediately.

Following Yu Xuan and Sun Lianda, Fang Yi's knowledge of chemistry also increased by leaps and bounds, because archaeology and antique identification are not just a single discipline, which requires a comprehensive knowledge of history, geography and chemistry and a wealth of practical experience.

"Okay, I don't believe it, there is nothing good left in such a big city?"

Peng Bin nodded when he heard this, and his eyes stared at the next room again, before they saw clearly on the city wall, there were at least hundreds of thousands of stone houses densely distributed in this city, and it would take several years to search them down one by one.

In Peng Bin's mind, this should be a shop facing the street, maybe there is something good, so he started the search from this place first, due to the shortage of manpower, he couldn't take care of Long Wangda, after greeting, Peng Bin and Long Wanda entered the two stone houses at the same time.

However, similar to what was found in the first room, there was originally a stone house with some items such as furniture, and as soon as one entered, the things in the room quickly decayed, and even those metal materials became rusty and worthless.

"Bad luck, grandma's, why can't you save anything?"

After rushing out of a room, Peng Bin angrily spat on the ground, which made his whole body seem to be sprinkled with a layer of dust, and when his body moved slightly, the dust fell down "poof".

Fang Yi, who had been standing on the street all the time, saw Peng Bin holding a stall in his hands that he couldn't tell what it was, and couldn't help but ask strangely: "Big brother, what are you holding in your hands?"

"I look like a book, who knew that it would turn into dust when I held it in my hand......"

Peng Bin glanced down, and his face suddenly showed an expression of wanting to cry without tears, this was the most important thing he found in the house, but he didn't think about it and couldn't save it.

"Books?" Fang Yi was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and said, "Have you seen the text?"

"No, but the layers are there, like a book. Peng Bin shook his head, and when he looked down at the "book" in his hand, where did this thing still look like a book, and it fell to the ground flutteringly.

Fang Yi pinched a little residual substance with his hand, and after distinguishing it in front of him, he said: "This thing seems to be made of nitrated animal skin, as for whether it is a book or not, it is difficult to say, maybe it is an account book......

"I'll look for it again, grandma's, I don't believe it, I can't find anything in such a big place!" Peng Bin said angrily, mainly because the dust in the house was too big, and he had to hold his breath after entering, and he couldn't even open his eyes, and when he came out, he looked even more disgraced.

"Big brother, look at it, do you know this kind of writing?" Fang Yi suddenly grabbed Peng Bin, pointed to the door beam of the room in front of him, and said, "When you went in just now, a few words appeared on this door, big brother, come and take a look......

The reason why Fang Yi didn't follow Peng Bin and Long Wanda to search these houses was that he found the words on the door beam, which was a bit like a door plaque, with a line of words written crookedly, but it was covered by dust before, and Peng Bin and Long Wanda couldn't find it.

The words on the door plaque are naturally the name of the store, but the font on the words is simple, and the strokes are very complex, which is different from the various ancient seal characters that Fang Yi has learned.

"What is this word?"

After hearing Fang Yi's words, Peng Bin raised his head and looked at the middle of the door of the house, and after carefully identifying it for a while, Peng Bin's brows couldn't help frowning, and he said: "This is not Thai-Burmese or Cambodian script, nor is it ancient Sanskrit, but it is a bit like Chinese hieroglyphs......

"It's not hieroglyphs...... Fang Yiyan shook his head when he heard this, and said, "I also know some hieroglyphs, which are different from these fonts, big brother, as far as you know, aren't there any characters similar to these?"

When Fang Yi followed the old Taoist priest in the mountains, he read through all kinds of Buddhist classics, and many ancient scriptures were written in various ancient languages, so in terms of the foundation of ancient Chinese characters, Fang Yi's knowledge is still very deep.

Later, after going down the mountain, Fang Yi studied with Yu Xuan and Sun Lianda, and systematically came into contact with oracle bone inscriptions such as Jin Yuan and Western Xia characters and even earlier engraved on tortoise shells, but among the more than ten kinds of characters that Fang Yi knew, none of them were similar to the words on the door plaque.

"No, there is no such writing in Mayan culture, I don't know ......"

Peng Bin smiled bitterly and shook his head, he claimed to be an expert in language and writing, but in the face of the words on the door plaque, Peng Bin only felt a burst of weakness, and when he turned around, Peng Bin happened to see Long Wanda coming out of another room with a disgraced face, and hurriedly pulled him over, and said, "Old Long, do you know this word?"

"I don't know, this is not Thai writing......" Long Wanda raised his head and glanced at it, and shook his head directly.

"Big brother, can you decipher these words?"

Fang Yi looked at Peng Bin with a look of hope, he believed that in the later search, he would definitely find the words of this space, and these words would play a vital role in understanding this space.

"If there are a large number of words, they can be deciphered, but it will take a lot of time to ......" Peng Bin thought for a while and said: "I need a lot of words for comparison, although I can't guarantee that the meaning of each word will be understood, but the general meaning will not be mistaken." ”

"How much time does it take?"

Fang Yi was overjoyed when he heard this, although there was no meat in this space, but eating some wild vegetables and mushrooms could fill his stomach, and there was no problem in staying for a little longer, it could be said that before they found a way out, the last thing they lacked was time.

"If there is a text comparison, it will take me three months or more to decipher the text......"

Peng Bin's tone is not so certain, for an unknown language, many relevant experts often need to spend years or even longer, unable to fully decipher the meaning of the text, so even if Peng Bin has the talent for this area, it is not easy to do.

"Then I'm responsible for transcribing the words that can be found outside, big brother, you and Lao Long continue to search......" Fang Yi opened his backpack and pulled out a stack of white paper under the little demon king, the little guy twisted his body uneasily, but he didn't wake up, and continued to sleep.

Although he didn't know these words, Fang Yi could keep them firmly in his mind, and his strong control over his body also made the words written on the paper by Fang Yi according to the gourd exactly the same as the font on the door plaque, without the slightest deviation.

It seems to verify the idea that this is a commercial street, all the way down, almost every stone house door plaque, you can see more or less a few words, Peng Bin and Long Wanda are responsible for entering the house to search, while Fang Yi is copying all the words.

With the exploration of the unknown, several people were initially full of energy, but as time went by and disappointed again and again, Peng Bin and Long Wanda's movements gradually began to become mechanical, and the expressions on their faces changed from excitement to numbness.

"Damn, how many years has it been here? Why has everything rotted? I said brother, I don't learn history very well, what kind of antiquity is this, how many years has it been since now?"

After more than ten hours, Peng Bin, Fang Yi and Long Wanda met together, in these ten or so hours, Peng Bin had long lost the mind to guard against Long Wangda, they all searched a street separately, and agreed to study together if they found something.

But the result of the search was to make Peng Bin and Long Wangda disappointed, although there are many houses, they have searched the back of the house, but there is still no gain, anything valuable has been decayed, Peng Bin really can't imagine, how many years have been gone for the people who once lived here.

"The specific age of the ancient period has not been mentioned in the historical materials......"

Fang Yi, who was holding the text full of transcription of this space in his hand, also smiled bitterly when he heard the words, in many Taoist classics, the ancient period often corresponds to the barbarian era, but no historian can say clearly how many years ago the barbarian era was.

So this time can be thousands of years, or tens of thousands of years or even hundreds of thousands of years, there was a fault in the history of human origins, maybe that fault is the ancient period known to Fang Yi, and it is also a period with its own unique civilization.

But one thing Fang Yi is sure of, that is, the age of the ancient period is far more than 3,000 years, because the hardest poplar can only live for 1,000 years, fall for 1,000 years and then decay for a thousand years, and if you want all the trees here to turn into dust and ashes, this time is even more ancient.

"I have an opinion......"

Long Wanda suddenly spoke: "The people who used to live here did not leave suddenly, but left in a very orderly manner, because before they left, they even cleaned the streets very clean, and took almost all the necessities of life away, so now we can be sure that this is really an abandoned place......

After searching the houses for so long, Long Wangda's biggest feeling was that this place was unusually clean, and when he said clean, he did not mean the dust flying in the sky, but the household items in those stone houses.

In these stone houses, except for the stone tables and stone beds that could not be moved, and the relatively large wooden furniture, Long Wanda did not see any small daily necessities, of course, it is also possible that these things have been turned into dust over the long years.

"In such a big place, even if it is abandoned, there will definitely be something left!"

Peng Bin said with some reluctance, in fact, in the search of more than ten hours, he also found many metal products, but they were all rotten like the object that Fang Yi had originally judged to be a mirror.

"If this place is discovered by the outside world, it will be a major discovery in the history of human civilization......

Looking at the mountains in the distance, Long Wanda said with emotion, he had been in charge of liberal arts and education in Thailand for a period of time, and knew how important the discovery here was, and it might even rewrite the evolutionary history of human civilization.

"Being discovered by the outside world, what else is going on with us?" Peng Bin pursed his lips when he heard this, and said: "Old Dragon, let's continue to look for it, grandma's, even digging three feet into the ground, I also have to find something good, otherwise wouldn't the brothers come for nothing?"

"Big brother, if you're in a hurry, take a break, let's eat something and sleep and find it again......"

Seeing that Peng Bin was about to turn around and continue the search, Fang Yi hurriedly grabbed him, handed over the few pieces of paper full of words, and said, "Big brother, you come back to study these words, and Lao Long and I will continue to search." ”

"What to eat? or wild vegetables?" Seeing Fang Yi pick up the bag containing wild vegetables, Peng Bin was suddenly unhappy, and said with a pout: "Eat wild vegetables raw all day long, the birds are about to fade out of my mouth, let's eat something hot......"

Speaking of which, Peng Bin and Long Wangda's search for this space was not all fruitless, they found a lot of well-preserved pottery products, including clay pots and other things, plus some houses that were like stoves used for cooking fires, which could already allow Fang Yi and them to have a hot meal.

And there is no shortage of water in this giant city, almost every street has a well at the end of the well, Peng Bin once went down to the well to check, I don't know how many years of existence of the well still has clear and delicious water, which also saves them the trouble of going outside the city to get water.

After entering this space, Fang Yi and the others ate a mouthful of hot rice for the first time, although it was only wild vegetable soup, it also made a few people happy, the city was full of empty houses, and after looking for a look, the front and back yards were cleaned, and Fang Yi and the others rested.
