"You want me to say." Hou Zhenming said: "You guys go back." The Absolute Queen's body is occupied by the ghost snake, and the ghost snake is not something you can deal with. So, let's go! ”

There was silence, and even Professor Chen was not speaking.

"I'm going! Even if it's death, I'm going to go! Before Professor Chen could speak, Shirley Yang said.

"Oh?" Hou Zhenming smiled, he was just talking, and the plot couldn't be changed by his words. He didn't mean that either, at least Shirley Yang would go, the boss would go, and Hu Bayi and Wang Fatzi would definitely go. With them, Hou Zhenming will be able to find the Exquisite Ancient City, and the monsters inside will be a piece of cake for him. The others, it is not important, they insist on going, Hou Zhenming does not stop them, they want to find the dead Hou Zhenming does not stop them.

"Think about it slowly! I slept first. Hou Zhenming said. Got into the sleeping bag he had brought.

The body was tired, and soon fell asleep, and when I woke up, it was already more than nine o'clock in the morning of the next day, and the sandstorm outside had been blowing all night, and it had not stopped, but it was much lighter than the previous wind, and this devilish sandstorm was finally coming to an end.

There is a large section of the ruins of the ancient city that has fallen into the yellow sand, and there is not much left to expose the ground, and there are two more such big winds and sands, I am afraid that this nameless ancient city will disappear into the desert, but even if it is all buried in the yellow sand, it does not mean that it will be buried forever, more than half of the Taklamakan is a mobile desert, and the desert is moved with the strong wind, and I don't know how many years later it will see the light of day.

Hao Aiguo was directing the students to dig up a stone figure, and he had already dug up the thigh of the stone man, and everyone gathered around to watch, only An Liman took advantage of the weakening wind and went out to take care of the camels hiding under the city wall.

Hou Zhenming took out some dry food from his bag and watched them dig while eating.

They were afraid of damaging the carvings on the stone figures, so they only dug up the sand on the periphery with a sapper shovel, and then cleaned it little by little with a flat shovel and a brush, dug up a part, cleaned a part, and at the same time made various records.

Professor Chen saw that Hou Zhenming woke up, so he nodded to him and said hello, it seems that his body is no longer in trouble, now this time is to let the students practice their hands, increase some internship experience, although the learning of theoretical knowledge is important, but for the archaeology industry, on-site practice is also very important, in the field to see more contact and more hands-on, in order to have an intuitive feeling, combined with the theory will be much faster.

After a while, the students cleaned up the base of the stone statue, Hou Zhenming is also the first time to see this kind of giant pupil stone figure, this stone statue is wearing a beard robe, arms drooping, and the body is carved with a lot of patterns, it seems to be some kind of tantric scriptures, according to Professor Chen, these words have not been cracked, but with the expansion of the field of archaeological research in recent years, experts believe that this should be some kind of symbol or code, recording some ancient religious information. As for why these symbols were carved on the stone figures, it may be related to the sacrificial behavior. However, there is no relevant literature, murals, historical records and other related materials, and these are only speculations so far.

Sa Dipeng listened to the professor's explanation and asked: "Professor, the shape of this stone man is very different from ordinary people, I think there is this possibility, there is a religion of worshipping aliens in ancient times, after they have seen aliens, they think they are gods, so they made some such stone people to come out to worship, the symbols on these stone people are an alien language. ”

Hao Aiguo immediately criticized him: "Xiao Sa, you usually don't work hard to study, how many times have you told you, you are a very smart child, don't use your brains in crooked places, why did you even get aliens?" Treat history and archaeology seriously. ”

Professor Chen did not get angry, but showed a kind smile: "It's not a bad thing to have imagination, young people, active thinking, it's good." There is no contradiction at all in unity and tension, seriousness and liveliness, but when we archaeology and study history, we must follow a principle, bold assumptions, and cautious verification. Imagination should be based on the basis of reality, and imagination without basis is unreliable. Let's take this giant pupil stone statue as an example, ancient people like to judge good luck and bad luck through astronomical phenomena, every night, they look at the starry sky, will they hope that their eyes can see farther? When making stone statues, would you add this desire to you? This possibility is very high, Sanxingdui in Sichuan has also unearthed some statues, the eyes are long and extended, conservatively speaking, this is very likely to entrust an expression of the ancients to explore. ”

Professor Chen was talking at length over there, and Hou Zhenming's heart moved, and he felt that the stone statue was moving, and the desert marching ants were about to come out.

Quickly pack up your things, pack your backpack, and put it on your back: "Friendly reminder, desert marching ants like to live under this kind of stone statue the most, you dig their nests, and when they come out, you are finished, the best result is the same as the bones in the corner." Immortalized in this desert. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the ground beneath the statue began to tremble, as if something was about to come out from below.

Hou Zhenming took a look, "Old Hu, fat man, run, if you run slowly, be accompanied by bones!" ”

Hao Aiguo, when they heard this, they also hurriedly ran out.
