"Brother, what's this?"

Looking at the thing that was broken in half in Fang Yi's hand, Peng Bin curiously reached out to take half. With a little force, the thing of unknown material was pinched into pieces by him and fell from Peng Bin's fingers.

"This should be a mirror..." Fang Yi said uncertainly: "But it is not the same as the bronze mirrors unearthed in China. This thing seems to have been made directly from ore without smelting."

"No, right? How can ores that have not been refined be made into molds?" After hearing Fang Yi's words, Peng Bin couldn't help but shake his head. The Peng family had gold, silver and iron ore on the territory of Myanmar. Peng Bin still knew a little about the mining and smelting of ore.

"It's hard to say. If the ore has a very high purity, it's still possible..."

Fang Yi looked carefully at the remaining half of the objects in his hand, put them on the tip of his nose and smelled the smell, then he spoke: "The people living here have a very average steel smelting level, but they have metal ores with high purity here. Let's look for it later."

After a long time, the thing in Fang Yi's hand has almost been oxidized and corroded, but Fang Yi can still see some clues from it. If there are modern precision instruments, Fang Yi can immediately analyze the specific components of this thing.

Following Yu Xuan and Sun Lianda, Fang Yi's knowledge in chemistry has also skyrocketed, because archaeology and identification of antiques are not just a single discipline. This requires comprehensive knowledge of history, geography and chemistry, and rich practical experience.

"Okay, I don't believe it anymore. There is nothing good left in such a big city?"

Peng Bin nodded when he heard this and stared at the next room. They had seen clearly on the city wall before. There were at least hundreds of thousands of stone houses densely distributed in this city. It would probably take several years to search them one by one.

Peng Bin thought that this place should be a shop facing the street, and maybe there was something good, so he started searching from this place first. Due to the shortage of manpower, he didn't care about Long Wanda. After greeting him, Peng Bin and Long Wanda entered two stone houses at the same time.

However, it was similar to what I found in the first room. There were originally some stone houses that were placed like furniture. As soon as people entered, the things in the room immediately decayed quickly. Even the metal objects became rusty and had no value.

"Unfortunate, grandma's, why can't you save anything?"

After rushing out of a room, Peng Bin spitted on the ground angrily. At this moment, his whole body seemed to be covered with a layer of dust. When his body moved slightly, the dust fell downwards.

Fang Yi, who had been standing on the street, saw Peng Bin holding a bunch of things that could not be seen in his hands, and he couldn't help but ask strangely: "Brother, what are you holding in your hands?"

"I looked like it was a book, but who knew that it would turn into dust when I put it in my hand..."

Peng Bin looked down and suddenly showed a crying expression on his face. This was the thing he found in the house that he thought was the most important thing, but he still couldn't save it.

"Book?" Fang Yi was stunned for a moment when he heard this and said, "Did you see the words?"

"No, but it's stacked there one by one, as if it's the same as this book." Peng Bin shook his head and looked down at the "book" in his hand. This thing didn't look like a book, and his tone fell to the ground.

Fang Yi pinched a little residual substance with his hand, took it to his eyes and distinguished it, and said, "This thing seems to be made of animal skin made of nitrogen. It's hard to say whether it's a book or not. Maybe it's an account book..."

"I'll look for it again, grandma's, I won't believe it. I can't find anything in such a big place!" Peng Bin said angrily, mainly because the dust in the house was too big. After entering, he had to hold his breath and not even open his eyes. When he came out, he looked like a dirt-faced look.

"Brother, look, do you know this kind of text?" Fang Yi suddenly grabbed Peng Bin, pointed to the door beam of the room in front of him, and said, "When you entered just now, a few words were revealed on this door. Brother, come and take a look..."

The reason why Fang Yi did not follow Peng Bin and Long Wanda to search for these houses was that he found the words on the beam of the door. This was a bit like a plaque with a line of words written crookedly, but he was blinded by dust before, and neither Peng Bin nor Long Wanda could find it.

The characters on the door plaque are naturally the name of the shop, but the characters on them are simple in font and the strokes are very complicated, which is different from the various ancient seal characters that Fang Yi learned. I just looked up with my neck for a long time, but Fang Yi was unable to distinguish the meaning of these words.

"What is this?"

After hearing Fang Yi's words, Peng Bin raised his head and looked at the middle of the door. After carefully identifying it for a while, Peng Bin couldn't help but frown and said, "This is not a Thai-Myanmar or Cambodian word, nor is it an ancient Sanskrit word, it's a bit like the hieroglyphic word of China..."

"It's not hieroglyphs..." Fang Yi shook his head when he heard this and said, "I also know some hieroglyphs, which are different from these fonts. Brother, aren't the words you know similar to these?"

When Fang Yi was in the mountains with the old Taoist priest, he read various Buddhist scriptures. Many ancient scriptures were written in various ancient characters, so Fang Yi's knowledge was still very profound in his knowledge of ancient Chinese characters.

Later, after going down the mountain, Fang Yi studied with Yu Xuan and Sun Lianda, and systematically contacted oracle bone inscriptions such as the Jin Yuan and Xixia characters, even earlier, even earlier. However, among the more than ten characters that Fang Yi knew, none of them were similar to those on the door plaque.

"No, there is no such text in Mayan culture, I don't know it..."

Peng Bin shook his head with a wry smile. He claimed to be a language expert, but when faced with the words on the door plaque, Peng Bin felt powerless. When he turned around, Peng Bin happened to see Long Wanda coming out of another room in a dirt. He quickly pulled him over and said, "Old Long, do you know this word?"

"I don't know, this is not a Thai word..." Long Wangda raised his head and shook his head directly.

"Brother, can you decipher these words?"

Fang Yi looked at Peng Bin with hope. He believed that in the search later, he would definitely find the text of this space, and these texts would play a crucial role in understanding this space.

"If there is a lot of words, it can be deciphered, but it takes a lot of time..." Peng Bin thought for a while and said, "I need a lot of words to compare. Although I cannot guarantee that the meaning of each word is understood, the general meaning will not be wrong."

“How much time will it take?”

Fang Yi was overjoyed when he heard this. Although there was no meat in this space, eating some wild vegetables and fungi can fill his stomach. There is no problem staying for a while. It can be said that before they find the way out, what they lack the least is time.

"With text comparison, it will take me three months or more, and it is possible to decipher these texts..."

Peng Bin's tone is not so sure. For an unknown language, many relevant experts often take years or even longer to completely decipher the meaning of the text. Therefore, even if Peng Bin has the talent in this area, it is not easy to do it.

"Then I'm responsible for copying the texts that can be found outside. Brother, you and Lao Long continue to search..." Fang Yi opened his backpack and pulled out a stack of white paper under the little devil's body. The little guy twisted his body uneasyly, but he didn't wake up and continued to fall asleep.

Although he didn't know these words, Fang Yi could remember them firmly in his mind, and his strong control over his body also made Fang Yi write the words written on paper in a copy of the gourd, exactly the same as the font on the door plaque, without any deviation.

It seems to have verified the idea that this is a commercial street. Walking down, you can see more or less words on the door plaque of almost every stone house. Peng Bin and Long Wanda are responsible for entering the house to search, while Fang Yi copied all the words.

With exploration of the unknown, the few of them were very energetic at first, but as time went by and repeated disappointments, Peng Bin and Long Wanda's movements gradually began to become mechanical, and the expressions on their faces also became numb from excitement.

"Damn, how many years has it been here? Why has everything been decayed? I said brother, I didn't learn history very well. What's the ancient times? How many years has it been since the present?"

More than ten hours later, Peng Bin, Fang Yi and Long Wanda met. During these ten hours, Peng Bin had long lost the intention of guarding Long Wanda. They all searched for a street and agreed to study it together after discovering it.

But the result of the search disappointed Peng Bin and Long Wanda. Although there were many houses and they had searched the houses behind, they still had no gains. Any valuable things had decayed. Peng Bin really couldn't imagine how many years had the people who once lived here left.

"In what era was the ancient times, historical materials have never mentioned..."

Holding Fang Yi, who had copied the text of this space in his hand, smiled bitterly when he heard this. Among many Taoist scriptures, ancient times often corresponded to the wilderness era, but no historian could explain how many years the wilderness era had been.

So this time can be thousands of years, tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of years. There was a fault in the history of human origin. Perhaps that fault was the ancient times known to Fang Yi, and it was also a period of unique civilization.

But there is one thing Fang Yi is certain, that is, the age in ancient times was far more than three thousand years, because the hardest poplar trees can only live for a thousand years and fall down for a thousand years and then rot for a thousand years. If all the trees here are turned into dust ashes, this time will be even longer.

"I have an opinion..."

Long Wanda suddenly spoke, "The people who lived here before did not leave suddenly, but left in an orderly manner, because before leaving, they even cleaned the streets very clean and took away almost all the essentials of life. So now we can be sure that this is really an abandoned place..."

After searching for a house for so long, Long Wanda's biggest feeling was that it was extremely clean. What he said was not the dust flying all over the sky, but the household goods in the stone house.

In these stone houses, in addition to the unmovable stone tables and stone beds and relatively large wooden furniture, Longwangda did not see any small daily necessities. Of course, it is also possible that these things have turned into dust over the long years.

"A place that big is, even if it is abandoned, it will definitely leave something behind!"

Peng Bin said unwillingly. In fact, during the search for more than ten hours, he also found many metal products, but like the object that Fang Yi initially judged as a mirror, they were all decayed.

"If this place is discovered by the outside world, it will be a major discovery in the history of human civilization..."

Looking at the mountains in the distance, Long Wanda said with emotion that he had been in charge of liberal arts and education in Thailand for a period of time, and knew how important the discovery here was. It could even rewrite the evolutionary history of human civilization.

"When the outside world discovered it, what else can we do?" Peng Bin curled his lips when he heard this and said, "Old Long, let's continue to look for it. Grandma's, even if I dig three feet into the ground, I have to find some good things, otherwise wouldn't my brothers come here for nothing?"

"Brother, I can't come in a hurry. Let's take a break. Let's eat something and sleep before looking for it..."

Seeing that Peng Bin was about to turn around and continue searching, Fang Yi quickly grabbed him, handed over the papers full of text, and said, "Brother, come back and study these texts, Lao Long and I will continue searching."

"What to eat? Are you still wild vegetables?" Seeing Fang Yi picking up the bag containing wild vegetables, Peng Bin was immediately displeased and said, "I eat wild vegetables all day long, and the birds are almost fading out of my mouth. Let's have some hot food..."

Speaking of which, Peng Bin and Long Wanda's search for this space was not completely fruitful. They found that many fully preserved ceramic products contained crocks and other things. In addition, some houses seemed to be used as stoves for cooking, which could allow Fang Yi and the others to have a hot meal.

Moreover, there is no shortage of water sources in this giant city. There is a well at the end of almost every street. Peng Bin once went down to the well to check it. There is still clear and delicious well water in the well that has existed for many years, which also saves them the trouble of getting water outside the city.

After entering this space, Fang Yi and others had a bite of hot rice for the first time. Although it was just wild vegetable soup, it made several people have a lot of fun. The city was full of empty houses. After searching for the front and back yards, Fang Yi and others took a rest.
