"That's why I came all the way here, and I didn't see any place to grow crops!" Qiao Yanxue smiled and replied.

Along the way, Xu Dong really didn't see any places like having made fields, besides, this is also a valley between two mountains, to be able to feed thousands of people, the area of this valley where you can grow crops must be a little smaller, and there is this solid and heavy city wall, with these, Qiao Yanxue's inference is not speculation.

Xu Dong thought for a while before he said: "In this way, the demise of the Cham kingdom is probably really caused by internal and external troubles. ”

Qiao Yanxue smiled and was about to say her opinion again, but she didn't expect the fat man at the front to suddenly scream.

It turned out that the fat man and others were in front, and when they arrived in the center of the city, they found a building that had not completely collapsed, the scale of this building was not very large, almost equivalent to three ordinary modern buildings, covering an area of only more than 100 square meters.

Surprisingly, this building is unusually tall, judging from the broken bricks and tiles that collapsed on the ground, the bricks are stone bricks, two feet long, nearly a foot wide and thick, it looks like a specification, and the broken tiles can barely be seen to be fired mud tiles, compared with other houses built with stone blocks in the middle of the city, it is obviously several grades higher, this should be the most important building in the entire city.

When Xu Dong and Qiao Yanxue rushed over, they saw that the fat man was holding a tile whose surface had been weathered into mud, and a greedy look appeared in his eyes.

Seeing Xu Dong coming, the fat man immediately held the tile in his hand in front of Xu Dong, and said with a smile: "Brother Dong, it is said that this is a thing from the era of the King of the Ring, similar to Qin bricks and Han tiles, hehe, you take a look, you help me see, how much can this be worth?" ”

Xu Dong stretched out his finger and gently pulled the tile mountain held by the fat man, and the surface of the tile was immediately drawn out of a groove.

"You're that, that's terrible!" Xu Dong clapped his palms and said with a smile: "If you can take it out, you can buy five yuan at least......

"It's worth five ......," the fat man cried out, and as soon as he let go of his hand, the tile fell to the weedy ground and turned into a pile of dirt.

Xu Dong smiled: "Why did you just throw it away?" Hehe...... Fatty, let me tell you, although these things are the things of the Cham Dynasty, but think about it, this clay pottery and porcelain, there is an essential difference, let me tell you, those domestic pottery, how many years! Up to now, whether it is the quality or texture, how can there be a light touch that becomes clay, and a light touch that becomes clay, it is still called pottery, and it can still be valuable? ”

The fat man laughed twice and said, "I'm here to let you see the sample, the sample, and if I can really find it that is not completely weathered and in good condition, then it will be worth it, right?" So I have to prepare first, so that when I can save the time when I hold the baby in my hand and throw it away. ”

Xu Dong smiled again and said: "Don't be busy, look at this, the pottery master here, the heat of firing pottery has not been fully mastered, if you can really find the complete one, it is really a breakthrough in the archaeological world." ”

From the rise to the demise of the Cham Dynasty, although the time is not short, but the evidence left in the world is extremely rare, if the fat man can really find the same valuable object, and can take it out, it will definitely be able to cause a sensation in the archaeological community, this, Xu Dong is not joking with the fat man.

It's just that as soon as the fat man heard Xu Dong say this, he turned his head and went into the stone house that had not completely collapsed.

Xu Dong, Qiao Yanxue and others followed behind the fat man, and they also walked inside.

The inside of the house was also full of stones that were nearly twice long and nearly a foot thick, and were overgrown with weeds and trees, and it was almost impossible to see their original face.

Xu Dong looked inside for a while, and then found that although the inside of this house was wide, there was no wall in the middle, and the situation was just like the current conference hall.

The fat guy was pulling weeds and turning rocks in it, tossing and turning, and it seemed that he really wanted to find something valuable, but in addition to weeds, trees and stones, you could find half of the valuable ones.

It's just that Qiao Yanxue went to the innermost place near the back wall to look at it for a while, pointed to a stone platform like a kang bed, and asked Xu Dong very strangely: "Look at this, is it a little familiar?" ”

Xu Dong followed Qiao Yanxue's fingers and took a closer look, only to find that the surface of the stone platform covered by moss was actually engraved with some symbols, which made Xu Dong very strange that those symbols were really familiar!

To be precise, those symbols, Xu Dong has seen more than once, the first time he went to the desert with Qiao Yanxue to look for Qiao Jiajun, Xu Dong saw this kind of symbol, that time Li Siyan gave Xu Dong on the sphere, there is also this kind of symbol, in the Tianshen Castle in Loulan, Xu Dong has seen it, the most memorable thing for Xu Dong is that Xu Dong has also seen this kind of symbol in the Savage Mountain, in the upper reaches of the river in Miao Yi's village, in the mountain lake.

Therefore, Xu Dong is no stranger to this kind of symbol.

It's just that the symbols in other places are mostly yang carvings, and the symbol font is convex, while the symbols on this stone are recessed yin carvings, and the strokes in many places are not the same.

"This kind of symbol appears in those places, all of them are yang carvings, but here they are yin carvings, aren't they from the same source?" Xu Dong Mosha looked at the carved symbols on the stone platform and said to himself.

Qiao Yanxue shook her head, frowned and said, "No, think about it, in that round hole, on the ancient city of cliffs and stone walls, we haven't found any patterns, symbols and other carvings, right?" ”

The ancient city buildings on the cliff and stone walls, whether it are those huge stone pillars or corridor railings, are exquisite in technology and magnificent in shape, but they rarely see any shape of pattern symbols, although Xu Dong and others were busy and tired at that time, but they remember very clearly, it is indeed as Qiao Yanxue said, there are no similar patterns or symbols.

"Are you saying that the symbols here, whether yin or yang, may not have a direct and necessary relationship with intelligent beings, or with 'them'?" Xu Dong caught Qiao Yanxue's doubts and asked.

It's just that in Xu Dong's memory, a few places where this kind of symbol pattern appears, which basically represent technology and civilization that are beyond the reach of modern humans, how did they get here, but this situation was suddenly reversed.

It's so weird!

Qiao Yanxue shook her head and didn't dare to conclude, but Qiao Yanxue said: "Fortunately, I gave those photos to my brother last time, I don't know how well he deciphered them." ”

Qiao Yanxue was talking about the photos of the symbols she took when she went to find Qiao Jiajun that time.

However, Xu Dong also knows that it is not easy to decipher a simple symbol without any other circumstantial evidence, and even some experts who specialize in ancient characters have exhausted their life's efforts, but in the end they still do not know the essentials and do not enter the door.

In the whole stone building, the most valuable discovery is that Qiao Yanxue and Xu Dong found these carved symbols, and the rest such as Meng Zhicheng, Fat Man, Mo Lan and others have found nothing, these people have little interest in the symbols engraved on the stone, and they saw Xu Dong and Qiao Yanxue discussing the patterns on the stone in front of the stone platform, at most, they just glanced at it casually, indicating that they had paid attention to it.

Only Mu Siqing was alone, holding tightly the half bottle of mineral water that he originally wanted to give to the fat man, sitting in the middle of the stone building, leaning half on a small tree the size of a bowl, turning a blind eye to the fat man and other treasure hunters jumping up and down, Qiao Yanxue and Xu Dong discussing symbols, etc., all turned a blind eye, listened to it, and didn't even bother to turn their eyes in a daze.

Qiao Yanxue turned around occasionally, and saw that Mu Siqing had lost her soul to this point, and she couldn't bear it, and saw that the rest of the people went to all corners or simply went out of the stone building to hunt for treasures, so she whispered to Xu Dong: "Xu Dong, Sister Mu, can you be kind to her?" ”

Xu Dong turned around, and saw Mu Siqing sitting there alone, and there was a sour feeling in his heart for no reason.

It's just that Xu Dong replied with a wry smile on his face: "Yan Xue, long pain is better than short pain, you should know, what is the situation of the boss now, you know better than me, let me drag the mud and water, entanglement, that will only harm the boss, harm the entire Mu family, it's not worth it!" ”

"Even if we don't become husband and wife, we're still friends, right?" Qiao Yanxue shook her head and said, "I think at the beginning, you didn't hit me repeatedly......"

Xu Dong's face darkened, and he said in a deep voice: "What is the situation of Miss Mu now, she is someone's fiancée!" There is an essential difference from you, I can't do things that destroy people's lifelong happiness, and I tell you, don't tell me about this thing in the future, otherwise, our friends won't have to do it. ”

Qiao Yanxue snorted in her nose, pouted and said, "If you don't say it, don't say it, what's the big deal, hum ......"

But then Qiao Yanxue smiled again, and said proudly: "Anyway, the relationship between the two of us has long been not a friendship, of course we can't just be friends." ”

"What do you mean?" Xu Dong asked a little stunned.

Qiao Yanxue pointed at her fingers and said: "First, although your character is not very good, this girl is not a particularly picky person, and secondly, our Qiao family owes you so much favor, you are the benefactor of our Qiao family; Therefore, this girl had to reluctantly promise to each other, never give up, and marry a chicken with a chicken. ”

Xu Dong said with a dark face: "You are still reasonable, right, since this is the case, why should you force yourself." ”

Qiao Yanxue distinguished: "It's not that I forced myself, you eloped with me, and followed me into the cave room, hmph, now, you are good, you get cheap and sell well, turn your face and don't admit it......"

As soon as Qiao Yanxue said this, Xu Dong's head suddenly became bigger, and he hurriedly said, "Okay, okay, I'm afraid you can't do it!" Let's not talk about this, let's not talk about this, okay? ”
