Chapter 586: Digging a Treasure
"That's not it, it's just an ancient battlefield, although it's likely, it's not necessarily the cause of the problem in this secret place, it's just a possibility. The key problem is that the scale of this ancient battlefield is extremely rare, it is estimated that it is at least an ancient battlefield of a thousand people war, for the ancient era, a battle of this scale is extremely rare, after all, the sect did not have such a strong force at that time, and cultivation was also in the beginning stage. Another reason for my attention is that I haven't found any records, so I'm very suspicious. Qu Tianwen looked at this ancient battlefield and smiled.
Qin Ruo nodded lightly.
The history of writing in China is relatively early, at least in terms of world civilization. Once there is something important, there will always be a few words left. If the scale of this ancient battlefield is not small, it should not be obscure.
Walking on this ancient battlefield, Qin Ruo actually couldn't see anything...... Because in front of his eyes, to him, it was only a place where it seemed that he could only see one or two broken weapons scattered once in a while.
If it is a monument, this is a place where there is not even a single tile, and he is really scratching his head, and he doesn't know where to start.
Qu Tianwen can find the remains of an ancient weapon for half a day. As for Qin Ruo and Xianyun, Xianyun can still help a little, after all, he is also a member of the sect, and he has a lot of knowledge and can occasionally say a few words. Qin Ruo was completely reduced to Qu Tianwen's excavation assistant.
Even this excavation assistant is very unqualified, and for this kind of work that requires extreme care and care, Qin Ruo is really not suitable.
After digging two pieces, Qu Tianwen directly refused Qin Ruo's help: Qin Ruo dug very fast, and dug out one in three or two clicks, but these ancient weapons had already decayed, and after Qin Ruo's hands, they were almost broken directly.
Qu Tianwen drove him aside directly.
Qin Ruo was speechless, he was really not suitable for this job.
I was bored watching the two of them busy, and I simply went to the side to play with myself.
In fact, the so-called ancient relics, for the cultivators of the sect, are more about history than digging treasures. After all, it is necessary for this generation to be stronger than the next, otherwise, the sect will continue to regress.
The same is true of the mundane world, and of course, there are some very strange things that make many things in antiquity incomprehensible now, and that is something else, for many reasons, not necessarily unattainable in modern times.
Otherwise, Qin Ruo would have been interested in digging up some treasures.
Take a walk on this ancient battlefield, but the era is too old, but there is nothing to see. In the secret land, as in the world, there are changes in the weather and even in the terrain, and there are not many traces of the battlefield here. Only the wreckage of armor and weapons that occasionally emerges from the ground can make people know that this was once an ancient battlefield, otherwise, it is just a slightly desolate plain.
Walking around here also made Qin Ruo feel a sense of simplicity and desolation.
On the ground, Qu Tianwen didn't have time to pay attention to it for the time being, and occasionally he could see one or two weapons full of ancient era style.
Qin Ruo was holding a broken sword in his hand at the moment, looking at the materials, even if Qin Ruo didn't understand it very well, he could see that this was an alloy weapon, but the composition of this alloy weapon was relatively primitive, similar to titanium alloy or something.
Don't think that there was no titanium alloy in ancient times, with the smelting level of the sect, at least a very small number of forging, it is not impossible to achieve. It's just that the production is very small.
And in the sect, sometimes it is normal for a weapon to be used for hundreds of years - not to mention the problem of metal fatigue, because for the people of the sect, there are very few times when a weapon can really be used for use.
Looking at this broken sword, which must have been very exquisite, but now there is only a rotten iron bar left, Qin Ruo couldn't help but think, in that era, this was not an artifact, and it should be a better weapon, but it was all broken here, presumably the battle back then must have been very tragic.
After walking for a long time, they could hardly see Qu Tianwen and them, and Qin Ruo didn't care, after all, there were only a few of them here.
Qu Tian asked them to be busy researching, and they didn't have time to pay attention to Qin Ruo.
Qin Ruo walked under a small mound and looked around, there was nothing special, but next to the small mound, there was something that seemed to be wood and a tree root that was about two feet above the ground, and it was always exposed when it rained on the ground.
Qin Ruo couldn't help but grab it and pull it out, if Qu Tianwen was present, he would definitely give Qin Ruo a big slap: This is an antiquity, can it be so rude?
But he wasn't there......
To Qin Ruo's surprise, he didn't pull this time, but what came from his hand was a metallic texture!
It's just that in the texture of this metal, there is a bit of woody smell.
As if it is a combination of gold and wood, this thing is not uncommon, and things like iron heart wood have such a habit, which is very suitable for making the handle of a long-handled weapon.
But this thing seems to have taken root, and it is not moved. Qin Ruo suddenly became interested, squatted down, and dug up casually around.
After digging for a few minutes, I dug out a pile of soil in a few cubic meters, and then found that this thing was still deeply buried.
He couldn't help but continue digging, using both hands and feet, and even almost used a horizontal knife, but he still didn't give up, and after digging for a while, he dug up a broken shield, but it was made of all metal, although it was tattered, but it was very strong, so he used this semicircular broken shield as a shovel and dug it up on the ground.
Anyway, he had the tools, Qin Ruo had great strength, and it was easy to dig this kind of thing, but in half an hour, he almost dug up a small half of this small mound.
At this time, the thing was revealed to be more than five meters long, and it was still connected to the ground at the back.
Qin Ruo suddenly became interested: Even if it is used as a weapon, a weapon more than five meters long is rare. What's more, it will definitely be longer later.
He hurriedly continued to dig, and when he had just continued to dig less than a meter, and the wood had reached a length of six meters, he suddenly felt something else. He was overjoyed: Is this really going to dig up a treasure?
Thinking of this, he became careful and cleaned up all the surrounding soil, and even at this time, he simply cleaned up most of the small mounds that were not big.
Then he dug down less than half a meter, and suddenly found that what appeared in front of him might not be a weapon...... But...... A car!
A glimpse of the ancient chariot!
It's just that the volume of this car is definitely not small, just the handle that was thought to be a long weapon before, Qin Ruo basically thinks that it is a wheel at the moment, it is more than six meters, so will the car be small?
At this point, Qin Ruo was a little afraid to dig down, after all, he was not professional, if he really dug up such a car, it was probably very important. He stopped, ran back and found Qu Tianwen.
"Uncle Shi, I found a car over there, at least I feel it should be." Qin Ruo said directly.
Qu Tianwen was originally curious about what Qin Ruo was doing when he came back, but when he heard the news, his eyes suddenly lit up.
For most of the day, he and Xianyun had just dug up a few weapons, two broken shields, and a broken armor that could barely be put together.
A car, that's a big discovery.
Hurriedly without saying a word, he followed Qin Ruo over, and when he saw the place where Qin Ruo had dug up, both of them blew their beards and stared: What should I do if I dig so indiscriminately?
glared at Qin Ruo, Qin Ruo spread out his hands and said that I was innocent...... The next work is naturally nothing for Qin Ruo, of course, it is still necessary to be a coolie.
Qu Tianwen cleaned up the surroundings very carefully, and sure enough, he quickly cleaned up a trace of a wheel, and was immediately overjoyed, and then simply didn't let Qin Ruo do any hard work, he and Xianyun rolled up their clothes, jumped to the place that had become a pit, and carefully cleaned up on all sides.
They moved carefully, but not slowly, and in less than an hour and a half, most of the body was exposed.
It's a real car, but it's not like an ordinary tank, it's like a command vehicle for the big guys.
The body of the car is at least four meters wide, as for the length, there is still most of it underground, it is impossible to determine, but only the exposed part is already more than three meters long, according to Qu Tianwen's estimate, at least more than five meters, because in the position of about three meters, a metal wheel was found - not a wheel in the modern sense, just the ancient kind of wheel, but made of metal......
A four-meter-wide and five-meter-long car, even if it is an ancient sect, is rare, after all, this thing is generally not used, and it is not a situation where highways are everywhere in ancient times. It's not easy to move such a huge car.
But with further excavation, until the evening, the excavation continued for two meters, and the car had already reached a length of five meters, but ...... There was still no way to move even a bit, and it was clear that most of it was still underground.
Qu Tianwen was surprised, such a huge car, which had not been recorded before, actually saw a real thing here today, and immediately became excited.
But when it got dark, he stopped, after all, the light at night was still a little worse.
Seeing that Qu Tianwen planned to spend the night here, Qin Ruo naturally wanted to stay, anyway, there was nothing left and right.
Moreover, he was also very curious about the car.
"Uncle Shi, this car seems to be very big, it should be something like an ancient command car, such as when marching and fighting, but it's about the same." Qin Ruo looked at the part that was exposed to the ground and couldn't help but say.
Qu Tianwen didn't agree or object, but said: "That's not necessarily, the scene of the battle of the ancient sect is also recorded, but it is very rare of such a scale, and it is strange to carry such a huge car." The material of this car can be seen to be built by ancient smelting technology, and a lot of cherished materials are used, but it is a pity that these materials are put in modern ......."
Qin Ruo rolled his eyes: "If there is the current technology in ancient times, what face will our descendants still have to live......
