Chapter 174: Peking Man Skeleton (Middle)

Yi Yang and Bai Wenchao finally dug something out of the ground, and when they turned things out of the soil, Lu Shuangshuang, who was holding a flashlight to illuminate them, was the first to notice it, and she immediately exclaimed.

It's a human bone, a white Sen Sen's bone, and at first glance it's very human!

Immediately, Yi Yang and Bai Wenchao stopped the excavation tools in their hands, and the two of them soon saw it, and sure enough, a piece of skeleton was exposed there.

"Xiaochao, don't get it yet, look at this." Yi Yang greeted.

Bai Wenchao nodded and said, "Well, okay." Brother Yi Yang, I really didn't expect it, there is really a situation down there in this place! But is it possible that this bone is the remains of a Peking Man? ”

Yi Yang said: "It's possible, let's see." ”

As he spoke, he bent down, put on his sanitary gloves, and carefully picked up a piece from the broken pile of bones to examine it carefully.

Bai Wenchao also squatted down and looked at it curiously.

After looking at it over and over for a while, Yi Yang said: "Xiao Chao, you see, this bone fragment is different from ordinary human bones, and of course it will not be the bones of other animals." ”

Bai Wenchao nodded in agreement: "Brother Yi Yang, you are right, it is indeed different, the sense of obsolescence is very strong, the surface seems to have formed a thick layer of pulp, very old, and the color of those Peking Man skull fossils we saw in the Dragon Bone Mountain Museum." ”

"yes, that's how I see it." Yi Yang smiled, and a look of joy gradually appeared on his face, as if he was done.

"So, it's really possible that these little bones are the remains of Pekingese or cave people?!" Bai Wenchao gasped and said, "If that's the case, then this is a very big discovery!" It's not the entire skull, but it's a small fragment that's worth studying. ”

"Yes, it should be valuable." Yi Yang nodded solemnly and said, "But this is still a little too little, Xiao Chao, I'll pick up these bones that have been dug up first, and we'll dig down later." ”

"Well, keep digging." Bai Wenchao agreed without hesitation.

Before this, he was full of suspicions, but Yi Yang did this in vain, it was impossible to dig up any Peking people's bone fossils from this mountain, who knew that the result surprised them, this excavation actually made a discovery.

Seeing this, Bai Wenchao was both curious and excited, so he immediately cheered up and was full of energy.

So after Yi Yang picked up the broken bones that had already appeared and put them away, he continued to dig.

After about a minute, the two of them dug up some scattered bones.

In fact, Yiqiē was expected by Yi Yang, because his right eye could sense the aura emitted by this kind of human bone fossil, and whether there were any bones underneath, he would know as soon as he looked out.

"Oh my God, and more, and more!" Seeing this, Bai Wenchao exclaimed in surprise and joy.

Lu Shuangshuang was also surprised: "It's strange, how can there be the bones of Beijingers in this place?" Also, Brother Yi Yang, how did you see that? That's amazing, isn't it?! ”

She couldn't believe that what archaeologists couldn't find for ten years, Yi Yang easily discovered, and now he has unearthed a pile of broken bones.

Yi Yang shook his head and smiled: "It's not strange, of course I wasn't sure that there was such a thing in this place before, I just guessed at first, because when I passed by this place, I suddenly found the distant Dragon Bone Mountain, so a thought jumped out of my mind, that is, since the Dragon Bone Mountain has the ruins of the Pekingese, then maybe there are also here, so I called you to give it a try, and the result is like this, it seems that my guess is right, at least I have found it." ”

"This is a very big discovery!" Bai Wenchao said excitedly, "If we can still find the skulls of the Peking Man and the Cave Man on the Peak, it will definitely cause a sensation in the archaeological and cultural relics circles." ”

Yi Yang smiled faintly, shook his head and said, "I'm afraid this is a bit difficult, but you can look for it again." ”

Before this, Yi Yang was indeed not sure that the bones of the Peking people buried under this ground were the bones, but now he is sure, with such a result, the situation is wonderful, because this can prove that this mountain has also lived in Beijing people or cave people on the top of the mountain, since this is the case, there should be more than just such bones buried in the mountain, and the same bone fossils can be found in other places.

At that moment, Yi Yang picked out the bones that had been dug up again from the soil and put them in a pile with those just now.

"Brother Yi Yang, do you want to keep digging down?" Bai Wenchao asked, and he couldn't wait to dig again, trying to find the whole skull, or even the skull, of the entire Pekingese.

Yi Yang shook his head and said, "This place doesn't need to be dug up. ”

"No need to dig? Are you sure? Bai Wenchao wondered.

"Well, no need!" Yi Yang nodded affirmatively, because his right eye could no longer sense the aura from under the soil, and there should be nothing below that they were looking for.

"So are we going to dig again?" Bai Wenchao asked.

Yi Yang said: "Don't worry, I'll take a look." ”

With that, he turned around, took a tiny flashlight out of his pocket, and lit it up.

He looked around, as if looking at something.

"I see!" Suddenly, he exclaimed, as if something had suddenly come to mind.

Bai Wenchao was surprised: "Brother Yi Yang, what did you think of?" ”

Yi Yang pointed to a bare slope on the mountain and said: "Xiao Chao, you see, there is a fault zone, which means that there was a landslide in this place a long time ago, and the soil layer above has slipped down and filled here." ”

"Seems like so." Looking in the direction Yi Yang pointed, Bai Wenchao nodded and said, "Brother Yi Yang, then you mean that it is possible to find the bones of Beijingers on it?" ”

Yi Yang said: "Yes, it is very possible, let's go down this ramp to find out." ”

"What's wrong?" Bai Wenchao couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Brother Yi Yang, this is not realistic, we have these two shovels and hoes in our hands, how long will it take to turn over such a big slope?" Tonight is certainly not enough. Why don't we rent a digger tomorrow and try it out, and it will be much easier. ”

Yi Yang shook his head and said: "This is not good, we can't let the outside world know for the time being, after all, this is not an ordinary thing, once it is known by the surrounding villagers, won't it be messed up?!" ”

"That's too!" Bai Wenchao hurriedly responded, "Okay, do as you say, I will do what you do." ”

He knew very well that although the fossilized skull of Peking Man was not an antique or gemstone, it was a great treasure, and if something like this was smuggled, he didn't know how much it could be sold for, so he couldn't let the outside world know, lest those cultural relics dealers who saw the money would be targeted and looted together.

Of course, they also have the option of reporting the matter to the antiquities department and letting them excavate it.

However, since Yi Yang didn't mention this, Bai Wen Supernatural wouldn't have considered it.

Later, Yi Yang put the bone fossils he had found into the bags he had prepared, and before walking away, they did not forget to fill in the deep pit they had dug, after all, they did not want to attract the attention of others.

After it was done, Yi Yang took Bai Wenchao and Lu Shuangshuang and walked towards it, Bai Wenchao was just worried that it was not easy to find, but in fact, they were not blindly looking for the bones of Beijingers, Yi Yang didn't need to dig in every place, conduct a carpet search, look for a needle in a haystack, he just searched according to the reaction of the aura.

So he is looking for purpose, not blindly.

The slope was a bit steep and difficult, but Yi Yang and Bai Wenchao still walked up slowly, and in the process, Yi Yang stopped from time to time and observed the surroundings with bated breath, and at the same time sensed the fluctuations of the surrounding aura through the ability of his right eye, but did not find anything abnormal.

"Brother Yi Yang, don't you have to dig down this slope to try?" Bai Wenchao asked.

Yi Yang nodded and said, "Well, no need, there shouldn't be." ”

"How do you know if there is or not?" Bai Wenchao was puzzled, thinking to himself that you don't have a sharp eye, how can you determine where the remains of the Beijing people are stored on this mountain, and where there is no such ruin.

Yi Yang smiled meaningfully and said, "Feeling, I rely on feeling. Xiaochao, let's go up first. ”

He couldn't explain anything to Bai Wenchao, after all, it was impossible for him to tell them the real reason.

"Hmm." Bai Wenchao replied.

Then they made their way up to the top of the steep slope, and at last they came to a relatively flat place where they could breathe a sigh of relief.

"Huh?!" When he walked to the flat ground at the top of the steep slope, at that moment, Yi Yang secretly exclaimed, because he suddenly sensed a stream of aura, and it was very strong, much stronger than what he sensed on the road below.

"Finally found it again!" When he had this reaction, Yi Yang was surprised and delighted, but Bai Wenchao and Lu Shuangshuang, who were following him, didn't notice anything abnormal.

"Brother Yi Yang, standing in this place, you can directly see the ruins of the cave on the top of the Dragon Bone Mountain!" I only heard Lu Shuangshuang say suddenly.

Yi Yang nodded solemnly and said, "Yes, this mountain is a little higher than that mountain." ”

Bai Wenchao accosted: "But there is a cave on the mountain, but there is no cave here, and the Beijing people and the cave people are cave dwellers, and they must have holes to survive." ”

Yi Yang said disapprerovingly: "How do you know that there must be no holes in this mountain?" It's just that I can't see it now, maybe the entrance of the cave has been sealed after tens of thousands of changes, and it can't be seen from the outside, so we think that there are no caves in this mountain for primitive humans such as Peking Man. ”

"Perhaps." Bai Wenchao nodded, but he was really skeptical, but the discovery just now made him believe Yi Yang's speculation a little.

"If I'm right, there are bones in this place." Yi Yang analyzed in a deep voice.

Bai Wenchao was pleasantly surprised: "Then let's dig it quickly, maybe we can dig up the skull of the Beijingers, then it will be cool!" ”

At present, the National Museum does not have a relatively complete collection of fossilized skulls of Peking Man or other hominids, and if they did, it would definitely cause a sensation.

Yi Yang shook his head and said unhurriedly: "Don't worry, I'll take a good look first." ”

After saying that, he carefully checked the past in the direction from which the aura came from, and soon he knew that the place where the bone fossil was buried was originally in the mountain wall at the top of the cliff, not underground.

"Bang!" After determining the place where the Beijing human bone fossils were hidden, Yi Yang picked up the hoe and struck it hard, hearing a heavy knocking sound, Bai Wenchao and Lu Shuangshuang were taken aback.

Bai Wenchao was surprised: "Brother Yiyang, what are you doing digging there?" Could it be in there? ”

Yi Yang said, "I'll try." ”

With that, he struck it twice harder, and then said, "Something is wrong with this place, the sound seems to be louder than the same place around it, and it seems to be empty inside." ”

"Empty?" Bai Wen looked at the place with no abnormality in confusion and said, "Could it be that there will be a cave down there." ”

"Yes, it's possible." Yi Yang nodded.

After hearing Yi Yang knock again, Bai Wenchao seemed to see that something was wrong, and said, "That place is indeed different. Brother Yi Yang, then let's dig it and try it, anyway, it's not a stone, it should be easier to dig up, if there is a hole that is covered by the mound of soil that has slipped down, then it will be clear later. ”

"Well, dig and dig and try." Yi Yang nodded in agreement.

So the two of them started again, one digging, one digging, and I don't know how long they had been digging, but a hole had been dug in the soil wall.

Suddenly, I only heard Yi Yang's exclamation: "There is!" Xiaochao, Shuangshuang, you see, the fossils have been dug up again! There must be the remains of Peking people around here, and even a large site like the one on the Dragon Bone Mountain. ”

"yes, that's amazing!" Bai Wenchao exclaimed.

He and Lu Shuangshuang both widened their eyes and saw that the excavated place revealed white aging bones, which were not the bones of ordinary dead people, but bone fossils left by primitive people, which were precious cultural relics.

Now the exhumation is only a small piece of skeleton, but Yi Yang believes that there should be a better bone fossil below, because his eyes can clearly sense a stronger aura, which makes him have a great hope, if a complete skull can really be dug up below, it will really create a miracle.

Even if the skull underneath is shattered and incomplete, Yi Yang can repair it, because since that thing has aura, it will be as repairable as an antique, of course, provided that the condition is met.

In fact, now Yi Yang has faintly sensed that the coldness in his right eye has invaded, and the golden wire seems to have moved, but it is not obvious.

Then Yi Yang also picked up those scattered bones and put them away, those broken bones may be insignificant to others, after all, there are only a little bit, but in Yi Yang's eyes, it is not ordinary, it may be the raw material for repairing the entire skull, indispensable.

After putting away the newly dug bone fragments, Yi Yang and Bai Wenchao continued to work, and then dug for a long time, Yi Yang did not shout to stop, Bai Wenchao kept digging with him.

Suddenly, I only heard a "bang", and it was opened, and it was empty.

"Brother Yi Yang, there is really a cave here!" Seeing this, Bai Wen shouted loudly, overjoyed.
