Chapter 334 Unable to Verify
"No, are you still here? Haven't we seen it before?"

While standing in front of the iron house, Fang Ming protested again, but Sima Xiangqin obviously didn't care what Fang Ming said, and opened the door and walked in.

Seeing this, Fang Ming realized that he was really "powerless", so he could only follow in.

After entering, he found that Sima Xiangqin was still walking to a corner without saying a word, touched somewhere, and then heard a slight "click", and saw Sima Xiangqin forcefully tap Pull, and a door is pulled open.

"This one……"

Fang Ming rubbed his nose vigorously a few times, it turns out there is a secret door here.

"Come on, go inside and have a look."

Sima Xiangqin waved his hand and walked in first.

Fang Ming strode in curiously, and found that at first it was a passage that could only accommodate one person, and after walking a dozen or so steps, it gradually became larger. Finally, what appeared before him was a basement with a size of [-] square meters.

The entire ground was covered with dense cultural relics and antiques. Fang Ming knew at a glance that they were much better than the ones he had seen on them. No matter in terms of quantity or appearance, they were not even a star.

"This is also a tomb?"

Fang Ming didn't go to look at the antiques right away, but carefully looked at the surrounding environment. He found that it seemed to be similar to the tomb that he had seen before.

"Yes, that's right. You know, people in our industry often unearth some good things, and once the local people know that we have unearthed good things, many people will make up their minds. At the beginning, Mr. Sun took the trouble, And there is not enough power to protect these things. After all, there are too many people who make up their minds. Later, Sun Lao came up with a good idea, and built a secret door through the tomb. If so, then put them here, so that as long as the people inside the archaeological team are dealt with properly, the news will not be spread.”

"That old boy Sun Ming...really...has an idea."

Fang Ming originally wanted to say that Sun Ming was very cunning, but when he got to his mouth, he found it inappropriate, so he changed his words.

However, he admires Sun Ming quite a lot. There is an iron house with some valuable antiques on it. Even if someone comes to steal something, after seeing those antiques, he will definitely not think about it. There is another one. The secret room is often stolen and left - how would you have thought that there are even more valuable things?

Moreover, this secret room was built using an empty tomb, so there is no need to worry about its strength, and the passage is small. Even if no guards are arranged and the entrance is camouflaged outside, it will be safe, for example I didn't notice it when I came here before, the person who wanted to steal couldn't have come in openly, so how could I have the heart to check it carefully?
The archaeological team must be people who have cooperated for many years, and they are even disciples and grandchildren cultivated by Sun Ming himself. They are all in a relationship where one prospers and the other loses.

Sima Xiangqin was amused, she felt that what Fang Ming said was not wrong at all, and Sun Ming's move seemed to be summed up from years of experience, so clumsy as if it was a coincidence!
"Take a look and see if there is anything you want."

Sima Xiangqin didn't know what Fang Ming wanted, so he had to let Fang Ming "pick" himself.

Fang Ming walked forward, his goal was to see if he could find an antique that could make Pixiu appear in another color.

Yellow, yellow, still yellow!

Fang Ming's movements were quick, but there were also a lot of antiques. It took more than two hours to touch all the antiques.The antiques that fill the "room" are all good things. Fang Ming even found that most of them are worth more than 100 million, and there is even one worth more than 1000 million. However, no matter what kind of antiques he picked up, Pixiu All are yellow.

Perhaps the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. In the end, Fang Ming found that all the antiques could only make the Pixiu on his right hand turn yellow.

"These are all from the Tang Dynasty. Are there any other dynasties?"

Straightening up, Fang Ming looked at Sima Xiangqin with a little disappointment.

"Actually, before Ma Tian made the identification, we also found out during the excavation that the tomb here is likely to have some features that were excavated successively in several dynasties, but the problem is that all the cultural relics we found here It’s all from the Tang Dynasty, which doesn’t make any sense from a common sense point of view. I think it’s more or less because of this reason that Sun Ming Sun called Mr. Liang over.”

Sima Xiangqin shook his head. She has been here since the beginning of the excavation. He knows all the antiques excavated. There are no other dynasties except Tang Dynasty.

"Is that so..."

Fang Ming frowned. His greatest goal was the antiques from other dynasties. It is really disappointing that there are no such items now.

"What you are looking for is an antique from another dynasty? Is this very important?"

Fang Ming nodded and said, "Yes, didn't Ma Tian's test say that there are three dynasties in Tang, Song and Yuan respectively? Then if we can find traces of the other two dynasties here, then everything can be explained pass."

Sima Xiangqin agreed with Fang Ming's point of view. The most important thing in archaeological discoveries is that the unearthed cultural relics must be consistent with other circumstantial evidence. It is necessary to find the reason.According to Ma Tian's inspection, the cemetery was built after three dynasties, so it is natural to find cultural relics from the three dynasties, whether it is porcelain, bronzes, or tools, etc., at least the same.

"This is what we have a headache now, and there is no discovery in this area at all."

"No, really not at all?"

Although I haven't learned about the specific work of archaeology, I have seen a lot of it on TV. Fang Ming knows that every inch of the place is brushed with a small brush during archaeology. If there is something, it must be impossible. missing.

Therefore, the only possibility is that, as Sima Xiangqin said, there is nothing here other than the Tang Dynasty.

Sima Xiangqin pointed to the antique in front of him and said, "Everything we dug up here is here."

Fang Ming and Sima Xiangqin left the iron house. Since the antiques inside are all from the Tang Dynasty, there is no temptation for Fang Ming to disagree.

After leaving the iron house, Fang Ming lost his mind for a while, and was not interested in going back to the tent to continue studying the bowl, so he just started wandering around.

The sand in the desert is very soft, sometimes it feels like a soft cake, but it is extremely hot, as if it has been fried in a pan, stepping on it and slipping, the sand falls into the shoes even more " "Prick" makes the soles of people's feet very uncomfortable.

Fang Ming stopped suddenly, raised his hand to wipe the sweat oozing from his forehead, raised his head and squinted at the sun in the sky, wondering if he was stupid, this is in the desert, and It was broad daylight, and the temperature was hot enough to bake eggs.

Looking back, he found that Sima Xiangqin was still by his side.

"This...wouldn't it be like you said before that you would always be by my side?"

Sima Xiangqin smiled, and said, "I'm afraid that you won't know where you went and won't be able to get back, or that you might accidentally bump into a poisonous snake on the road and die."

Fang Ming broke out in a cold sweat from fright, the possibility of not being able to walk back is very small, but poisonous snakes and the like are very possible.You must know that because the living environment in the desert is very harsh, even poisonous snakes and poisonous scorpions that can survive in such an extreme environment are extremely poisonous. If you are bitten, you may lose your life.

"Okay... let's go back."

Looking back, Fang Ming found that the camp had long been covered by sand dunes, and he could no longer see it. It seemed that he had already walked a lot of distance. If he continued walking, even if he did not encounter poisonous snakes, the weather would cause dehydration. , and this is the number one killer in the desert.

"it is good."

When walking back, Sima Xiangqin found that Fang Ming was still not interested in speaking, and his brows were still tightly knit, as if there was something embarrassing.Several times she wanted to ask Fang Ming what the matter was, but she put it to her mouth and finally swallowed it back.

She didn't know if Fang Ming was thinking about some important issue, if she interrupted her thoughts, it would be bad.

It wasn't until he got back to the iron house that Fang Ming said, "Is there any place near here that sells antiques? For example, antique shops, or small stalls selling antiques?"

"Ah? Why are you asking this?"

Fang Ming was silent for a long time. Sima Xiangqin originally thought that he was thinking about some important question, but when Fang Ming opened his mouth, he asked such a question.

"Is there such a place?"

Seeing that Fang Ming was not interested in answering his own question, Sima Xiangqin could only say: "There is a small town about thirty miles away from us. We often go there to get some food and drink. Once I seemed to see that There are several stalls in the place selling antiques, copper coins and the like."

"Okay, let's go there. But today seems too late, tomorrow."

Sima Xiangqin really wanted to ask Fang Ming why he went there, but she knew that Fang Ming would not answer her question, but she would follow her tomorrow, no matter what Fang Ming wanted to do, she could see it tomorrow, so she also Just don't ask.

"Okay, I'll go with you tomorrow."

The itinerary for tomorrow was set. Seeing that it was still early, Fang Ming followed Sima Xiangqin to the excavation site. He wanted to see if he could find anything.However, what still disappoints him is that after tossing around for a long time at the scene, there is still nothing to gain.

Fang Ming can only pin his hopes on going to town with Sima Xiangqin tomorrow.
