As the flute flew out, the red scorpions scurrying around began to be stunned, and then began to flip their bodies with the flute, and they were about to climb out, but they turned around and crawled back, and the range of the spread was from near to far, and more and more poisonous scorpions turned.

Soon a dense swarm of poisonous scorpions was formed, crawling towards the golden place that Huang Yueying said, and began to dig within a range of five hundred meters around.

The people of Loulan were frightened, if they were sensed by Latia at the beginning, so many poisonous scorpions were summoned at the beginning, no matter how stubborn the Loulan people were, there would be no bones, and only one thousandth of what was summoned at the beginning.

With so many poisonous scorpions working at the same time, everyone only saw more and more yellow things pouring out, and soon they could see the outline, it was the roof, it was the square, it was the grand staircase.

"It's the royal palace of the ancient city." Zhan Hailan said excitedly.

Liu Zhang didn't listen to Zhan Hailan's words, but looked at Latea's expression, and Huang Yueying was the same, she didn't pay attention to the barb she said at all, and only looked at Latea.

Suddenly, Latea's flute was out of tune, Liu Zhang and Huang Yueying stepped forward almost at the same time, and finally Huang Yueying stood still and didn't speak, Liu Zhang said: "Latea, don't play anymore." ”

"His Royal Highness the King of Shu, let Queen Latia dig up more of the ancient city."

A Loulan official stepped forward and pleaded, all the Loulan people are eager to see the appearance of the ancient city, but who excavates as fast as Latiea, manual excavation, not only slow, the life of the workers is in danger, but also easy to damage the structure inside, Loulan people of course hope that Latia can dig up the soil layer in one go, so that the ancient city will immediately see the light of day.

"Smack."

As soon as the Loulan official finished speaking, Liu Zhang slapped him. The Loulan official was directly fanned out. Liu Zhang didn't look at him. He stepped forward and said to Lathia, "That's enough." ”

Latia nodded, took the flute, and those poisonous scorpions lost the command of the flute, and scattered again, because the poisonous scorpions that were pressed below were all summoned, and this time the poisonous scorpions fled more quickly, and in a blink of an eye, the dug place was vacated.

Latia felt a little dizzy and leaned on Liu Zhang's shoulder. At this time, Latia found out that after treating Liu Zhang's illness, the ability of the magic had decreased, although the scorpion group commanded this time was too large, but if it was changed before, it would definitely not be so bad.

However, Latia didn't complain, just now Liu Zhang hit the Loulan official in a hurry, she saw it, and the first time she made a sound, Liu Zhang had already stood up. It shows that Liu Zhang cares about himself very much, and that's enough.

Latia leaned into Liu Zhang's arms. Slowly adjusting her physical strength, Huang Yueying stood aside, she listened to the process of Latia treating Liu Zhang, and asked Latia to dig around the golden barb first, of course, for Latia's physical considerations, it was enough to dig out the important part first.

But now Huang Yueying didn't need to say what she thought, pointed to the place that was dug out by the poisonous scorpion, and said to Liu Zhang: "Husband, look, there is really a palace there." ”

Liu Zhang nodded, and together with everyone, they all saw the palace, and there were many broken soils, but the general shape was already very clear.

This is a magnificent royal palace, those building materials have not been destroyed much after thousands of years, thousands of years ago Haitou City, there must have been a civilization.

Later archaeological documents have proved that Haitou Castle is an ancient name, not the name of the current Haitou Castle, but the name of this place in a more ancient state, although there is no explanation.

But literally, the head of the sea, the end of the sea, then this is clearly a coastal city.

But now Haitou City is dozens of miles away from the Prison Lanhai, and the ocean here is shrinking too much.

However, as a glorious coastal city, there must be many remnants of civilization in it.

Zhan Hailan and Liu Zhang each sent some people down to explore the terrain, and after reporting safety, Liu Zhang, under the personal escort, went down to the bottom and came to the dug up palace.

Scorpion droppings mixed with dirt were everywhere, and the stench filled the air, and Latia and King Mulu took out some anti-poison medicine, and the people who came down took it separately.

When entering the palace, a very large palace appeared in front of you, two golden cranes, golden thrones, jade railings on both sides of the jade steps, exquisite reliefs, one by one, presented in front of you, those Loulan people who came in were almost crazy, rushing to those antiquities.

"Stop them." Liu Zhang shouted at Zhan Hailan and the vulture bones at the same time, this is a place where the sun does not shine all year round, and it is a place where poisonous scorpions live, and if you touch it indiscriminately, you will get skin diseases even if you don't die.

The soldiers of the Sichuan army and the soldiers of Loulan stepped forward to stop them at the same time, but they were still a step too late, and an old minister with dizzy eyes touched the golden crane, and his hands were immediately blood-red, and countless red rashes appeared.

"Chop off your hands and carry them out." Liu Zhang said, but he didn't let the Sichuan army move, and looked at Zhan Hailan.

The old minister was a veteran of the three dynasties of Loulan, loyal and devoted himself to Loulan, and it was also because he knew that the old minister wanted to see the ancient city all his life, so Zhan Hailan allowed him to go down to the dungeon in his old age.

But Zhan Hailan still ordered the soldiers to do what Liu Zhang said.

The old minister's hands were cut off, and the other Loulan people no longer dared to move.

Liu Zhang walked through the main hall, entered the side hall, entered the back garden from the side hall, walked through the side hall on the right, and came to the side hall on the left.

What a rich and abundant place the shores of the former Prison Lan Sea should have been.

"Lord, if we take these back and sell them for food, we will have hundreds of years of food." said so powerfully, several other generals also geared up.

Liu Zhang didn't say anything, and entered the left side hall, when he entered the left side hall, both the Loulan people and the Sichuan army were disappointed, there was no gold, silver and jade inside, and the encapsulated clay pots were neatly arranged, and the clay pots were rough and unbearable, and there was no artistic value at all.

After taking the medicine, a Loulan man opened a clay pot with gloves, and even with a mask, Liu Zhang felt a smell of rot coming.

"It's wheat, and it's very well preserved." Loulan said.

A few more jars were opened, there were rice, yams, and many vegetables and rapeseeds that the people of Loulan had never seen, but the people of the Sichuan army had seen them, and they were some broad-leaved vegetables, and Loulan lacked water, and these vegetables had not been planted for hundreds of years.

All of them are preserved in good condition because of the seals and dungeons, but they are of little value, but this also proves that the environment of Haitou City in the past is very good, at least there is plenty of moisture.

"What kind of seed is this, I haven't even seen it." Suddenly, a Sichuan soldier shouted.

The jar was opened by the Loulan people, and the Loulan people didn't know each other, so they looked for the Sichuan soldiers, and the Sichuan soldiers didn't know each other until the third, and the third one was a rich peasant, and he had a lot of land at home, but he couldn't hire a few tenants to work long, and he basically planted it himself, so he was very familiar with agricultural products.

But he had never seen this kind of thing at all.

Huang Yueying couldn't help but step forward to watch curiously, she was more familiar with farming than the rich peasant soldier, and after reading so many ancient books, she thought she must know it, but when she walked over and looked at it, she was dumbfounded.

Liu Zhang glanced at it casually, and was suddenly startled, blurting out three words: "Pumpkin seeds?" ”

"What is a pumpkin?" Huang Yueying asked, wondering in her heart, isn't the lord from the royal family? How can you understand farming, and even if you do, how can you be better than yourself?

Liu Zhang put on gloves, took the seed and looked at it carefully, and once again confirmed that it was indeed a pumpkin seed, there were pumpkins in Haitou City thousands of years ago, wasn't the pumpkins from the Americas? How could you have crossed the ocean and made it here? There hasn't been continental drift for thousands of years, right?

But Liu Zhang immediately remembered another theory of the origin of pumpkins, one has no evidence, but both "Cihai" and "Encyclopedia of China" say that pumpkins originated in Asia.

There is no archaeological evidence for this theory, only some county and village chronicles say that pumpkins originated in Asia, and the vague and historical pamphlets are not convincing at all, so most scholars believe that pumpkins originated in the Americas.

The Asian theory of origin was only passed down by word of mouth in some old peasant families.

I didn't expect to see pumpkin seeds in this dungeon, which shows that the theory of origin in Asia is not unreasonable, or that pumpkins were wild in both America and Asia, and then domesticated, there is nothing impossible.

Pumpkin is a high-yield crop, with a yield of more than 3,000 catties per mu, if there are many kinds a year, it can reach 6,000 to 9,000 catties, you must know that the yield of hybrid rice per mu is only a few hundred to 2,000 catties, and a large amount of water is needed, and pumpkin is much more powerful than hybrid rice.

And the current rice can not be compared with hybrid rice at all, ordinary rice can't be compared, and Champa rice can't be compared.

Although Liu Zhang hates to eat pumpkin, but in this era, it is good to have a stutter, pumpkin can be used as a staple food, if it is widely planted, it will definitely be able to feed a lot of people, and the life of the people will be much better, of course, the Sichuan army will have a lot more military food.

"Sealed, never allowed to break." When Liu Zhang saw this jar of pumpkin seeds, he was even happier than when he saw those gold, silver and jade objects, and he was afraid that these seeds were old and could not grow things.

The soldiers of the Sichuan army hurriedly wrapped up the jar, the people of Loulan were a little puzzled, Liu Zhang began to visit a few palatial halls, but he did not move, at this time he was actually interested in this jar of seeds, if it were not for Liu Zhang is the king of Han Shu, they would all think: "Where did this girl come from." ”

"Lord, there's a jar of pumpkin seeds." A Sichuan soldier said happily.

Then another jar was found, a total of three jars of pumpkin seeds, and Liu Zhang ordered all of them to be properly sealed, which was to be brought back to Chang'an.

"Huh? What is it? A soldier took out a grayish-yellow object, a tuber about a decimeter-long arm-thick, and looked closely: "Taro kui (taro)?" It's not like ah, the taro is more round than this. ”

Huang Yueying stepped forward to take a look, and was frustrated to find that she was lonely again, and a soldier hurriedly said, "Ask the lord to take a look." (To be continued......)
