Chapter 771: Things Are Not Old and Expensive
"Why would they abandon such a huge city?"
Standing on this city wall that cannot be built with modern technology, Long Wanda was also a little distracted, he couldn't guess what had happened in the first place, so that the people who lived here left this place. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
"Because this place has lost what they rely on for survival...... Fang Yi said, "Although this place can allow ordinary people to live, those powerful people are shackled, so they can only leave." ”
If he didn't know about the aura, Fang Yi probably wouldn't be able to guess the reason for these people leaving, but knowing a little about the ancient secrets, he guessed it at the first time, just like the place where the ancient qi refiners cultivated he saw in the Savage Mountain, this place was also abandoned because of the lack of aura.
However, Long Wanda didn't know anything about aura, so Fang Yi didn't say much, just mentioned it in general terms.
"What is it that they live on?" Long Wanda's eyes lit up, and he had a feeling that Fang Yi and Peng Bin must know something he didn't know.
"I don't know!"
Peng Bin knew that Fang Yi was really temperamental, for fear that he would say it directly, and said at the moment: "The people at that meeting are very weird, who knows what is going on with them, and the civilization that suddenly disappeared is not a ...... here."
"I really didn't expect that there would be such a strong era for human beings......"
Long Wanda sighed when he heard this, all the powerful humans on those stone murals could not be used to fly to the sky, to explain it with modern science, they belonged to the kind of people who evolved themselves, and developed their potential to the extreme, so as to produce powerful abilities.
"The era of human strength also has ...... in some places abroad"
Hearing Long Wanda's emotion, Peng Bin couldn't help pouting and said: "Some discoveries in the Mayan culture also show the strength of human beings in that era, and didn't they also disappear suddenly, I think there is definitely more than one place on the earth in such a space......
According to some of the sites found in the Mayan culture, the Mayan civilization was the first to develop a religion, and the original ruins consisted of a few simple mounds, which later evolved into pyramids.
The Maya built many magnificent halls, temples, mausoleums and monuments out of stone, and the buildings were imposing and magnificent, and the bright colors and beautiful patterns on the ruins can be seen in the remnants of the Mayan ruins in the Yucatan or Guatemalan jungles.
In the ruins of Bonampak, the ancient war murals created in the 8th century A.D. are left behind, and the characters in the paintings are varied, lifelike, and full of realistic expression, which is one of the world's famous mural art treasures today.
According to the research of archaeologists, the existing discovered Mayan culture is only the tip of the iceberg of its original Mayan civilization.
Many archaeologists believe that not only was science advanced during the Mayan era, but humans also had unparalleled strength, because in many Mayan ruins, they have found pictures of humans flying into the sky and fighting giant eagles.
These have also been found in some places in China, such as the Dunhuang Grottoes, where there are many murals of human beings flying into the sky, but to this day people only regard them as the good wishes of the ancients, but they do not think that these things are very likely to be real.
Another point is that, like the Mogo Dynasty in Cambodia, the Maya culture suddenly declined after a long period of development, and the process has puzzled countless archaeologists.
It is recorded that in 830 A.D., the construction of the huge construction of the city of Copán was abruptly stopped, in 835 A.D., the construction of the pyramid temple in Palenque was stopped, in 889 A.D., the construction of the temple complex in Dicar was interrupted, and in 909 A.D., the last Mayan castle, the half-built stone pillars were stopped.
In less than a hundred years, the Maya scattered in the jungle abandoned their original homes and migrated north, and since then, the Mayan culture has disappeared from the jungle until thousands of years later.
When Peng Bin was abroad, he was very interested in occult doctrines, so he once went to South America alone to explore the ruins of the Mayan civilization.
The Mayan civilization, the Angkor Dynasty, Peng Bin didn't feel much when he heard it before, but now he connects it with other civilizations that suddenly disappeared, and Peng Bin found that these things should not be occasional, but have some unknown connection.
"Big brother, let's think about how to get out of here......"
Listening to Peng Bin's long speech there, Fang Yi smiled bitterly, the three of them had been eating wild vegetables for many days, and they hadn't even drunk a sip of hot water, if it weren't for the fact that the three of them were all martial arts practitioners, I'm afraid they would have fallen ill a long time ago.
"Aren't they all painted on the murals, they all left from that mountain......
Peng Bin pointed to the mountain that was higher than the city wall and said: "On the last few murals, groups of people are entering the mountain, I think there must be a way to leave, let's look in the city first, and then go up to that mountain......
Although there is no sun in this space, and the sky is a little gray, the sight is very good, standing on the city wall, you can see the distance very far, and several people are just observing the situation in the city.
"Okay, search inside from the periphery first......" Standing on the city wall, Fang Yi had already memorized the general outline of this giant city, this giant city was centered on that mountain, and it was dozens of kilometers away from the edge of the city to the foot of the mountain.
Some of the buildings on the edge of the city are relatively low from the city wall, and the streets are not very spacious, and the closer the buildings are to the mountain, the taller and grander they are, especially the buildings at the foot of the mountain, which stretch for a long time, and Fang Yi can't even see the end.
"Such a huge city was actually built to resist those beasts outside, and I don't know how fierce those birds and beasts of prey are?"
When he went down the city wall, Peng Bin also started to sigh, he said that he was a little regretful, but it was a pity that he was born at the wrong time, if he was born here, I am afraid that he could also become a human being as powerful as the mural, and fight with those wild beasts.
"It's strange, why haven't we seen the bones of beasts when we're outside?"
Long Wanda muttered quietly, because some of the birds shown on the mural can cover the sky and the sun with their wings outstretched, and some giant beasts are like small mountains, so it stands to reason that after these creatures disappear, there should also be bones and remains.
Although Long Wangda's voice was not loud, Peng Bin and Fang Yi were so powerful, and Peng Bin replied at the moment: "Who knows what age this place is, if it takes hundreds of thousands of years, let alone become fossils, maybe they will all turn into dust and nutrients in the soil......"
In fact, although Peng Bin didn't say everything right, he didn't leave it all right.
In the ancient barbaric era, these fierce birds and beasts were all barbaric beasts with great power and could strengthen themselves through aura, their flesh, flesh, fur and even bones had abundant aura, and they had a nourishing effect on human beings after eating.
Therefore, after these fierce beasts were killed, almost all the skin and flesh became the food of humans at that time, and the bones were either abandoned in the wilderness, or polished into tools that humans could use.
It's just that after the passage of time, the aura disappeared from this space very suddenly, and the powerful brute beasts that could not be evolved left this place, just like humans.
Although this place has a passage to the outside world, it is a place of its own space, such as those towering trees that are hundreds of meters high to grow, they need abundant aura, but the rare and exotic fruits in the eyes of the outside world do not consume much aura in this space.
After the aura disappeared, the remaining aura was still nourishing this space, but it was getting less and less, and the bones of those brute beasts left before were absorbed by this space The faint aura in the bones was absorbed, and the rest was really as Peng Bin said, turning into dust and soil nutrients.
When Long Po Tuo first entered this space, the aura had not been completely depleted, so the scene he saw at that time was completely different from now, but hundreds of years had passed, and the last trace of aura had been exhausted here, and even the magic circle that had led to the outside world had lost its effect.
The streets of the giant city are devoid of any debris except for the thick dust, and they look very clean, if it weren't for the dead silence, it would even give people the feeling that the next moment would be full of people, no one would have thought that before the endless years, there would have been no human life here.
The closest to the city gate was apparently a lively street in the past, with tall stone buildings on both sides, wide streets, and ditches on both sides of the road for the inhabitants to drain their sewage, which was very well designed.
But Fang Yi and the others who had climbed the city wall knew that in the more remote places inside, those houses would become very short, and there would be some open places, where it was obvious that wooden houses had been built before, but they had collapsed after a long time.
"It seems that in ancient times, there was also a distinction between rich and poor......
Looking at the empty streets, Fang Yi couldn't help but sigh, no matter what kind of social system it is, classes always exist, this is an eternal phenomenon, and no one can change it.
"Why do you say so much, let's go in first and see what's inside?"
Peng Bin was already waiting impatiently, and rushed to the door of the first stone house, but Peng Bin, who was about to kick the door, found that the place where the wooden door should have been installed had long since decayed, and the empty door made people see the situation inside at a glance.
"Damn, don't even give you a chance to be a robber?"
Peng Bin scolded with a stupid smile, raised his feet and walked in, but as soon as he entered the house, the sound of the wind driven by his body made the dust fall down from the roof beams, and Peng Bin, who was completely gray-headed, hurriedly retreated out.
"Ahem...... Ahem......"
Peng Bin, who was choked by the dust, coughed several times in a row before he eased up, stared at the room angrily, and scolded: "Grandma, if you provoke Lao Tzu, I will burn you all with a fire......
"Big brother, the beams of the roof have rotted and turned into dust, what are you going to burn?
Hearing Peng Bin's words, Fang Yi couldn't help laughing, he could see that after I don't know how many years have passed, only stone still exists in the world, and those wooden products have long been turned into dust.
"In a lifetime, let alone live past a stone, even those plants and trees outside can't survive?"
Seeing this situation, Fang Yi smiled and sighed with emotion, as the most intelligent life on the earth, the lifespan of human beings is so short, sometimes a piece of paper and a piece of furniture can be preserved for hundreds of thousands of years, but the human beings who created them have already turned into a bowl of loess.
"Ahem, brother, don't be emotional, hurry up and see what's inside, right?" Peng Bin glared at Fang Yi angrily, the dust in the room was a few fingers thick, and as soon as he entered, it was dusty, and he couldn't see the scene inside at all.
Although the outside is very bright, the depth of the stone house is a little deep, and it is a little blurry to look inside from the outside, Peng Bin just saw a few things that seemed to be tables and chairs, but there seemed to be a little wind, and those things quickly turned into dust.
"Big brother, can you just go in and hold your breath?"
Seeing Peng Bin's grizzled face, Fang Yi couldn't help but smile and said: "If you can't see it, don't look at it, reach out and touch it, as long as the objects that can still be preserved, it is estimated that they are all useful, you can just take them out......"
"Okay, you wait, I'll touch ......" Peng Bin said with a sad face: "I heard that robbing tombs in your country is called touching gold, this fucking makes some sense, grandma's, I'll go in and touch what good things are?"
After Peng Bin finished speaking, he didn't wait for Fang Yi to speak, he took a deep breath and went into the previous room, this time Peng Bin was prepared, he held his breath all the time, and quickly touched inside from the side of the door after entering the door.
......A few minutes later, Peng Bin's huge body came out of the room, and as soon as he came out, he spit out the dust that fell between his mouth and nose, and seemed to be holding a few things in his arms.
"I've taken out all of these things, and everything else has turned to dust. ”
After removing the ashes from his hair and face, Peng Bin carefully put the dusty things in his arms on the ground, but he believed Fang Yi's words and thought that all the objects that could be left were treasures.
"Big brother, this ...... Is this a pottery? It's a bit like a bucket of slag?"
Looking at the slightly missing object on the edge of a circular mouth that Peng Bin put down, Fang Yi squatted down and knocked on the echo with his hand, and said: "That's right, this is the pottery fired from clay, if I'm not mistaken, it should be a slag bucket ......."
"Brother, what is a scum bucket? This is something I don't know how many years ago, it must be worth a lot of money, right?"
Peng Bin also knew that this round object was definitely not a kind of exercise, but it would be good if he could find some antiques, Peng Bin also made a lot of money from Fang Yi at the beginning of the year, these objects must be older, wouldn't they be more valuable?
"Big brother, whether antiques are valuable or not, can't be calculated by age?" Fang Yi smiled bitterly when he heard this, it was really a bit difficult to explain these things to his eldest brother.
Just like a Tang Dynasty folk porcelain bowl is more than a few hundred yuan, and the fine ones are only thousands of yuan, while the Ming and Qing dynasty porcelain is less than thousands of yuan, tens of thousands of yuan, blue and white porcelain can be sold at a sky-high price of 100 million yuan, and a piece of old jade in the Qing Dynasty is sometimes not as good as a piece of modern jade handicrafts.
Antiques as a commodity, its characteristics are concentrated in two points, one is ancient, with the vicissitudes of historical burden, often these things, is the best witness of a historical period, the other point is culture, taste, artistry, with these two characteristics to become a precious antique.
Objects such as gemstones and jade, its value is usually not aged, mainly depends on the material of the jewelry itself, such as diamonds, Hetian white jade, emeralds, jadeite, as long as the material is the right way, even the uncarved rough can be sold at a good price.
However, porcelain, bronze, calligraphy and painting and other objects are different from jade, because of the carving, carving, and painting with manual participation, the technical conditions determine its artistic level, and the market price is reflected in the artistic value.
Yu Xuan once said to Fang Yi that it was something that had high artistic value and was very valuable in ancient times, and it will still be very valuable in modern times, and it was a worthless object in ancient times, and it is not worth much now.
It's like this pottery that Peng Bin took out, the workmanship is extremely rough, the circle is not very neat, not to mention that there is a piece missing, it looks like a shoddy thing, it is a long history, it is not worth anything.
"Doesn't this thing have a name......? What kind of scum bucket do you say it's called, it should be worth a few dollars, right?" From this room, Peng Bin touched such a thing that didn't fall apart after starting, and was said by Fang Yi to be penniless, Peng Bin was quite unwilling in his heart.
"Big brother, do you know what a scum bucket is?"
Hearing Peng Bin's words, Fang Yi couldn't help but smile bitterly, shook his head and said: "The slag bucket was used by people in ancient times to spit out fruit cores or food impurities, at best, it is a little higher than a potty, and the effect of a spittoon is about the same, what do you say this thing is worth?"
"What? This thing is a spittoon?"
Before Fang Yi's words fell, Peng Bin's eyes were stunned, and he raised his foot and kicked at the pottery, only to hear a "bang", the pottery that had existed for an unknown number of years became shattered at Peng Bin's feet.
"Hmm, what is this?"
Fang Yi suddenly found that in the pottery jar, there was also an object that was round like iron the size of a palm, and hurriedly reached out to pick it up, after getting started, Fang Yi knew that this was indeed an iron product, because there was a thick layer of rust on it, and with a light break with his hand, this thing was actually broken in half.
