Soon the expert group organized by Zhang Mei judged that this newly discovered ancient city was likely to be the mysterious Zhubin City in history, and their later excavation research also proved this.

After Zhang Mei left, Wei Changqing and the others also dispersed and walked into such a large ancient city, everyone was very excited with a trace of curiosity.

This is an ancient city, and no one knows what is buried in this ruins, so after entering this place, everyone immediately dispersed.

Han Peacock took Huangshan and Qian Mingyuan, found a place that had not been excavated, and walked in.

It is clearly a residential area, and the residential site is mainly a "wooden bone mud wall" style building with wooden pillars and red willow branches and grass and mud.

These buildings were naturally destroyed, and most of the ruins were half-buried under the desert.

In this kind of place, Han Peacock's divine power is very powerful, although there is not much water here, as long as there is a little, he can sense it.

And the underground here, even if it is a desert, has some moisture, but it is very scarce.

Han Peacock let go of the supernatural power, Han Peacock perceives the surrounding environment, this side belongs to the South Ancient City, the South Ancient City Ruins are rectangular in plan, the east wall is 163 meters long, the south wall is 82 meters long, the west wall is 160 meters long, the north wall is 87.5 meters long, and the area is about 20,000 square meters.

Within this range, Han Peacock's supernatural perception can be covered very lightly, so in this environment, Han Peacock's advantage is much higher than that of Zhang Mei's expedition.

Through Guò's perception, Han Peacock found that most of the buildings buried under the sand and gravel were rammed earth buildings, and some were wooden buildings.

The city wall here is damaged, and the general residual height is about 3~5.4 meters. The top residual width is 1.5~6.5 meters, the thickness of the wall foundation is about 7 meters, and the north section of the east wall is partially built with soil blocks, and the size of the soil blocks is 44×25×10 cm.

The city gate is open at the south end of the east city wall, the gate is 2.3 meters wide, and there are wooden foundations at the bottom of the walls on both sides of the doorway. There are 9 columns on it, there are two horizontal timbers on one side of the door and the wooden base are connected to form the door frame, the door frame is connected with the square wood mortise and tenon joint of 27×20 cm, the square wood is processed and smooth, well preserved, but it is difficult to see the whole structure of the door because of the quicksand covering.

The collapsed city gates, and the timber were scattered inside and outside the city gates.

In the weathered mound about 300 meters southwest of the ancient city, there is a building platform, which is about 20 meters long and 8~10 meters wide. It is about 2 meters high, and there are many timbers with mortise and tenon structures scattered on the terrace.

Such as: intact column base, octagonal column, etc., the surface can see pottery shards, copper arrowheads, smelting slag, etc.

The northeast and southeast corners and the entire east wall have been covered with quicksand; Under the south wall is a depression 40 meters long, 20 meters wide, and about 2 meters deep.

The buildings are mainly preserved in the southern half of the city of Zài, which is also mostly covered by quicksand, but the houses are still faintly recognizable.

It is mainly a group of houses with a length of 46 meters from east to west and a width of 13.5 meters from north to south, and two more houses on the north side, 7 meters long and 3.5 meters wide.

On the south side, close to the city gate, there is a large room on the north side. It is rectangular in shape and has a size of 5.7×5.5 meters.

The houses are made of wooden frames and sandwiched with reeds. Most of the frames of the walls coated with grass and mud have collapsed, but there are still individual pillars that are connected to the horizontal timber at the bottom of the frame and stand tall, and in the meantime, well-preserved column bases and bucket arches have also been found.

On the north wall of the city, looking northwest, in the middle of the sand dunes and Yadan terrain. The outline of the city is faintly visible.

The plan of the ancient city is rectangular, except for the northwest corner and the north section of the east wall, the city wall is basically intact.

The city wall was built in the same way as the ancient city of Loulan, because the southern half of the city has been covered with quicksand, and the specific structure and layout of the houses are difficult to determine with the naked eye alone.

There is also a mound of sand under the north wall of the city. However, from the northwest corner to the east wall, the remnant gap has not been buried by quicksand due to wind erosion, and there are no architectural remains.

Han Peacock walks very fast, and every time he stops, there is always something to gain.

After Han Peacock saw the situation of the entire ancient city clearly, the two of them began to dig with a military shovel each.

"Boss, what's down here?" Huangshan sweated like dirt, and a large amount of sand and gravel was quickly piled up around him.

As long as Han Peacock stopped just now, they always had some gains, such as various ceramic fragments, but at that time, it was just a simple excavation, but this time, a huge pit was dug.

Han Peacock threw the collapsed sand around him into the distance with a military shovel, and said: "This is a smelting place, it seems to be a copper smelter, but not far from here, there seems to be an interesting warehouse." ”

"Warehouse? This is a smelting warehouse, gold ore? "Huangshan's eyes shine.

Han Peacock smiled: "How can there be so many gold mines? This side looks like an armory. ”

The military shovel used by the two people is an authentic sapper shovel, not to mention digging sand, even if they shovel stones, they can shovel down lightly, so they are very fast.

"Be careful." Just as Huang Shan shoveled down the sapper shovel again, Han Peacock stopped him.

"There's something good down there?" Huang Shan's movements were a lot more careful, and soon, he dug out a stick-like object.

After cleaning it out, Han Peacock took this stick and looked at it carefully, it seemed to be a special-shaped arrowhead, the front was like a mushroom-shaped, followed by a plum bottle-shaped arrowhead body, and the body was carved with wavy folds, string patterns, etc. in a way that reduced the ground, and filled with white clay-like substance.

The collar is square in cross-section, covered with black patent leather, and filled with white clay in the middle.

"What is this?" Seeing Han Peacock looking over and over, as if he cherished this thing very much, Huang Shan asked curiously.

Han Peacock said while looking at it: "It seems to be a copper arrowhead." ”

"Kindred?" Huang Shan said suspiciously.

"Bronze arrowhead, popularly speaking, is the arrow, the copper arrow is used with the long-range weapon bow and crossbow, the copper arrow can be divided into two types, the first is triangular, the section of the blade head is triangular, and there are nine sides at the bottom.

The collar is round or triangular, the head of the arrow and the collar are cast together, the collar is wound with hemp wire and inserted into the collar, and the length of the three ridges is almost exactly equal. ”

"This is a bronze arrow? It sounds complicated. Huang Shan wiped a handful of sweat and said.

Han Peacock chuckled: "It's really not simple, the arrow appeared in the late Warring States period, with a length of 5.3cm, the cross-section of the arrow is triangular, the narrow blade is very sharp, and the bronze arrow is the blade part installed at the front end of the arrow shaft, and it can be shot far away with a bowstring."

Bronze arrowhead has appeared in the Erlitou culture period, is one of the earliest bronze weapons, its shape is more, mainly double-winged, three-winged and three-edged three categories, with the development of the times and have changed.

But during the Warring States Period, the long-range triangular arrow arrow has been changed to an iron collar, if this ancient city is really from the Northern Wei Dynasty, then it makes sense to have such a superb bronze arrow casting process. ”

In the Northern Wei Dynasty, bronze arrowheads must have been no longer used in the land of the Central Plains, so at that time, in the ancient cities of the Western Regions, it was normal for this kind of bronze arrowheads that had been eliminated in the Central Plains.

"That's the arrow, right? It doesn't look like it! Huang Shan finally understood the meaning of Han Peacock's words and knew what this thing was.

Han Peacock said: "So this should be a special-shaped arrowhead, and there are a lot of arrows like you said below, which is relatively simple." ”

As he spoke, Han Peacock scooped up some sand and gravel, poured it beside him, and quickly found a few bronze arrows from inside.

Looking at the sharp blade of the arrow, Huang Shan said: "This is also an antique, right?" Don't know if it's worth the money? ”

Han Peacock said: "It's not valuable, after all, this is something that equips the army on a large scale, and there are too many unearthed, so it's not valuable." ”

"You can always sell it for some money, right?" Huangshan is not interested in worthless things.

"A small arrow of this kind is worth about 300 yuan, and like this special-shaped arrowhead, the price is not easy to say, I know only in Anqing, there is a collection of this special-shaped arrowhead, which is unearthed in the Spring and Autumn Tomb of Dafeng, Xianghuang and Huacun in Anqing City, and more than 10 pieces of the same type of utensils were unearthed." Han Peacock said.

As soon as he heard that this was collected by the museum, and there were only about a dozen pieces, Huangshan's eyes immediately lit up, and things were scarce, and after following Han Peacock for a long time, he naturally knew what was valuable.

"I wonder if there's any of this alien down there?" Huangshan immediately had the motivation to dig hard again.

Han Peacock smiled and said: "This is a smelter, there must be a lot of this kind of special-shaped arrowhead below, even if there are not many of them, there are a lot of that kind of arrowheads, even if one sells for three hundred, it can be sold for a lot of money." ”

"Then what are we wasting time doing, hurry up and dig up, if others find out, we will gain less." Huangshan Road.

Han Peacock was speechless, when he was looking for jade in Kunlun Mountain, he didn't see Huangshan so active, and the jade there, as long as he found a piece, he would have more than all the gains here.

Of course, this is not Huangshan stupid, but Huangshan is pragmatic, those jades are valuable, Huangshan does not have much understanding of their value, and this kind of antiques with a clear price, Huangshan can clearly calculate how much bonus he can get.

Following Han Peacock, the harvest is definitely not small, but the price of a piece of jade is higher than his salary for decades, which makes Huangshan feel a little illusory, so it is not extravagant, if he seriously shares the profit with Han Peacock, it will be too greedy, after all, this kind of treasure hunting activity, he plays a very small role.

How smart Han Peacock is, from the table of Huangshan, Han Peacock knows Huangshan's thoughts.

"I eat meat and you drink soup, now money is a number for us, we don't have to worry about it." Han Peacock said with a smile and lowered his head again to shovel the soil.

Huang Shan's movements paused, but then he began to work again, and faster than just now.

When did money become a dispensable number for him Huangshan?

Because Han Peacock is talking about us, it also includes Huangshan, of course, Huangshan knows that this is not just the two of them.

Thinking that since he followed Han Peacock, he didn't have to worry about money anymore, although this made him feel a little unreal, but this feeling was really good.

Han Peacock didn't say much, and Huang Shan didn't ask any more, and soon, the two of them dug into a wall. (To be continued......)
