Chapter 344

Fang Ming and others were disappointed in the end. Ma Tian found no other cultural relics in the place where the flying lion round gold box was found. In fact, in addition to the original one day, Ma Tian finally arranged for more digging. After a long time, there was still no gain before stopping.

Perhaps because of this incident, the atmosphere in the archaeological team became a little depressed.

"Wow hoo hoo!"

Fang Ming splashed the water in the basin on his face, and his whole body was immediately refreshed.

In the past few days, he has been participating in the specific cleaning and excavation, basically exploring the entire ground that has been excavated and cleared, especially using his right hand to try to see if he can find soil layers of other ages, but Disappointed in the end.

In addition to the soil layers of the three ages found in the previous tomb, the soil layers of the Song Dynasty appeared in the place where Ma Tian found the gold box, and the rest are all soil layers of the Tang Dynasty.

Of course, if you dig very deep, there will naturally be soil layers of other ages, but this is meaningless. Of course, the main thing is to look at the soil layers used for landfills as the object of research.

"Fang Ming."

Looking back, he found that Sima Xiangqin was walking towards him quickly.

"what happened?"

Sima Xiangqin walked in front of Fang Ming and said, "The matter you asked me to inquire about earlier has some clues."

Fang Ming's heart skipped a beat, and he said repeatedly, "Really?"

In order to break out of the immediate predicament, Fang Ming asked Sima Xiangqin to see if he could find a grave robber nearby.

Tomb robbery simply means stealing and digging other people's graves, the main purpose of which is to dig out the funerary objects inside and sell them.

Such people have appeared many years ago and have a long history, and many, even generations, have been engaged in such "activities".The main reason why Fang Ming sought them out was because these people were often active "nearby" and they were very familiar with the surrounding geographical environment, and because of this, Fang Ming felt that if such people could be found, it would be beneficial to the entire archaeological excavation. good.

Because the current situation is that if you don't learn some situations from others and learn from the scriptures, you will still have to walk a lot of detours.

"um, yes."

Sima Xiangqin nodded and said, "It's hard to find such a person now. I inquired and found nothing. But after talking to Mr. Sun, he remembered that he had a friend nearby. He used to do it at home. It is said that they are tomb robbers, but after the liberation, they stopped doing this kind of thing, and after studying in university, they became experts in this field.”

"Mr. Sun is quite familiar with him, and even cooperated once before."

"Great!"

Fang Ming was overjoyed when he heard that, if it was just an ordinary relationship, even if he got in touch, he probably wouldn't be able to make it clear, but if it was what Sima Xiangqin said, it would be completely different.

"When are we going?"

"Elder Sun and the other party have made an appointment to have dinner together in the evening. Because the distance is relatively far, we will leave soon."

Sima Xiangqin frowned slightly. That place was far away from the archaeological camp. Driving in the desert for such a long time was not a very comfortable thing, but there was no other way but to go.

After a little preparation, Fang Ming drove the car, and a group of people set off in the car. The temperature in the desert was very high. Fang Ming, who was driving the car, felt that his eyes were covered with white flowers. This was the sun hitting the sand. Reflected from above, it was quite uncomfortable.

What made Fang Ming even more uncomfortable was that he also encountered a sandstorm on the road, which also allowed him to experience the power of sand in the desert once: when it hit the window, it made a crackling sound, and there was even a time when a fist-sized stone fell directly on the ground. It hit the car body with a "bang", and the whole thing was dented.This made Fang Ming startled, because if such a stone hit the car window with such force, there might have been an accident.

Not to mention that when the wind picked up, the whole car seemed to be blown away. Fang Ming, who was driving the car, shook his head.

Seeing him like this, Sun Ming was happy, and said: "Fang Ming, it seems that this is the first time you have come to such a place, and this is also the first time you have encountered this kind of weather, right?"

"um, yes."

Ningdong City is a city in the south. The only windy weather every year is typhoon weather. However, since there are tall buildings around, the wind is not too much of an influence. Encountered such a situation now?

The entire space between the heaven and the earth is full of sand, a piece of yellow mist, and you can even see strips of salons appearing between the sky and the earth from time to time.

Flying sand and flying rocks, Fang Ming believes that if there are rocks here now, they will definitely fly up.The car is just like a small boat in a storm under such majesty, struggling but powerless.

"Get used to it!"

Fang Ming couldn't help but roll his eyes at Sima Xiangqin's words, he felt that he was being despised.Trying hard to control the car, Fang Ming continued to drive forward. Now he missed his Hummer infinitely. This time, because he came here, the Hummer was temporarily placed in Sanjiang City.

If it is a car like the Hummer, it should be a little more calm in such a harsh environment, especially the heavy body and the powerful power, which are the best weapons to face wind and sand.

After driving hard for six or seven hours, I finally arrived at the destination. It was a small county town, but looking at the small buildings with no more than five floors and the streets that were not too wide, Fang Ming knew that no matter how prosperous this place was, it would be too busy. limited.

However, although the sparrow is small, it has all five internal organs. Under Sun Ming's guidance, Fang Ming finally stopped in front of a museum.

After getting out of the car, Fang Ming looked at the four-storey building with an area of ​​over [-] square meters in front of him. He couldn't help but patted his head and said, "Ah! There is such a place here—— museum?"

A place like a museum is usually a place where the economic conditions reach a certain level, mainly because the annual maintenance cost of such a place is not a small amount, not to mention the manpower recruited for this.

"Xie Peng conducted an archaeological excavation here in the past, and found a tomb of a royal family in the Yuan Dynasty. This discovery shocked the archaeological world. The museum in front of us was built on this basis."

Fang Ming immediately understood what was going on. The discovery back then must have been astonishing. Many cultural relics were unearthed. In order to preserve these cultural relics, the local government could only build a museum, or there would be no one at all. Reasons for leaving these artifacts behind.

As a local and the host of the excavation, Xie Peng naturally became the curator of the museum.

The reason behind this is actually not difficult to guess.

"Let's go. Let's go in. Old Xie is already waiting for us."

Following Sun Ming, Fang Ming soon saw Xie Peng in an office on the top of the building.

The room is large, but it is not luxurious at all. The biggest impression is the bookshelves one after another. As a master of antiques, Fang Ming can tell at a glance that these shelves are definitely not made of good materials. In terms of characteristics, it is thick and strong. These large shelves are all placed on the ceiling, and then they are filled with various materials. Many materials even look tattered or old, obviously they are frequently read. .

If it wasn't for an office, he would think that this is a warehouse for storing materials.

In addition, what Fang Ming saw was a small desk. Behind the desk was an old rattan chair with an old man sitting on it. When he saw Sun Ming and others coming in, he immediately stood up and walked over.

"Hahaha! Old Sun, you don't come to see me too often, this place is really boring! There is nothing to do all day long."

Fang Ming knew that this person must be Xie Peng. Xie Peng is not tall, maybe only a little over 1.6 meters, and not strong. He belongs to the typical thin and thin old man, but he is quite impressive. His voice was loud when he spoke, and he walked like flying. It could be seen that although he was old, he was definitely in good health.

"Hey, there's no way, it's too far away, and we're getting older, so we really see each other once less. Hmph, but then again, if you don't want to stay in this place where no shit, go to Where not to go? Why don’t you go to my school? You don’t have to worry about the formalities, treatment, house and car, how about I handle it? It’s also convenient for us to get together, eat and communicate, how about it?”

Sun Ming smiled and looked at Xie Peng. Xie Peng is definitely famous in the academic circle. He is not writing empty promises. As long as Xie Peng is willing to go, he can solve these problems.

"Hahaha!"

Liang Bo also laughed out loud, and said, "Old Xie, what is there to do in Lao Sun's poor place? Go to my place, what he said is not a problem at all, and you will bring doctoral students every year when you go to my place." That's enough. Of course, it goes without saying that there are assistants."

Xie Peng shook his head and laughed, and said: "You two old boys clearly saw that I would not go, that's why such a lion opened his mouth, you can't tempt me, I will make mistakes. "

It can be seen that they are all in the same circle, so they are very familiar with each other. After some joking, Xie Peng said, let's not talk about other things, go to eat and drink first! "

Seeing this, Sun Ming and Liang Bo knew that the matter must not be settled, but this was expected, so they didn't say anything at all, and the group followed Xie Peng out of the museum.

After leaving the museum, the sky gradually darkened, it was a good time to eat, and Xie Peng obviously had a restaurant he was familiar with, and he didn't drive. I bought a small hotel that was not very impressive at all.
