Chapter 107 Ancient City Ruins
Hearing Lin Fan's words, Zhou Boyang turned his head and gave his brothers a wink. They are like ancient gangsters. They are fierce and rebellious, and they only respect the stronger ones. In Zhou Boyang's eyes, Lin Fan There is no doubt that Fan is a real strong man.

Everyone else quieted down, wanting to hear what Lin Fan had to say. Although the members of the exploration team had a bad impression of Lin Fan and Xuan Ming, at this moment, the two sides were confronting each other, and a third party was really needed to break the deadlock.

"Everyone is here for Mr. Wang, and the purpose is to do your best..." Lin Fan paused for a moment, and then said: "I can help you, if you let everyone give up their lives and homes Go do it, and the big guys will not agree."

"Brother Lin, what do you think we should do? Do we just go back like this?" Zhou Boyang spoke to Lin Fan in a very polite tone, because he knew how scary Lin Fan was.

Lin Fan smiled slightly and said, "Going back like this is of course impossible, but it's useless to continue arguing like this. You must know that we have a time limit, and everything needs to be done as quickly as possible."

Lin Fan's words reminded Zhou Boyang and Captain Zhao that the purpose of their trip was to save Mr. Wang's son. If the dispute continued and time wasted, even if they found the altar, it would be useless.

"Brother Lin, we just discovered the footprints left by the last group of people here. According to my inference, the place we are looking for should be right ahead. The most important thing right now is to quickly follow these traces to find the location, but some people don't want to Keep going, what do you think should be done?" Zhou Boyang wanted to move forward quickly, but the members of the exploration team didn't want to take risks, and Lin Fan never said a solution to this problem.

Although Zhou Boyang's group has rich experience in tomb robbery, they have no experience in surviving in the desert, and the exploration team happened to have worked in the desert for several years before, so now the two groups are complementary, and no one will leave. Easy to handle.

If the exploration team are left behind, then how to avoid desert storms and quicksand will be their big problems. In this desert, there are often winds, and the winds are extremely fierce. The foot ropes of the tent will push people several times in a row, and they will be submerged in the overwhelming sandstorm, leaving no bones.

"As far as I know, the last batch of archaeologists didn't wear protective clothing when they came, so it means that the place we are going to is definitely not in the heavy radiation area. Therefore, I think it is best for us to investigate in the radiation edge area first. , to avoid heavy radiation areas, and on the other hand, send a few people out to purchase protective clothing, just in case."

Before Lin Fan came, the illegitimate son of Mr. Wang didn't specifically mention the matter of radiation, so he felt that the altar must not be in the heavy radiation area, otherwise, the Wang family would have prepared all the equipment before coming.

After hearing what Lin Fan said, Captain Zhao made sense when he thought about it. If the place he was looking for was in the heavy radiation area, the old man of the Wang family would definitely not have said a word before coming here.

Captain Zhao and several team members around him discussed in a low voice: "This is also reasonable. Anyway, we have a radiation tester in our hands. As long as we don't enter the heavy radiation area, it shouldn't be a problem in the fringe area."

The members of the exploration team discussed in low voices for a long time, then Captain Zhao stood up and said to Lin Fan: "Okay, just listen to this little brother, let's investigate in the radiation edge area first."

After Captain Zhao agreed, the group of people finally reached an agreement. Although Zhou Boyang and his group didn’t know what was going on with the radiation, they knew that there must be danger from the fear of the exploration team. Although this group of people They are fierce, but they also cherish their lives. If they don't have to take risks, they will be happy in their hearts.

The big guy walked forward for less than a kilometer, turned over a towering sand dune, and found a section of broken city wall not far away. These people couldn't help but cheer up, and hurried to that section of city wall.

When I arrived at the place, I took a closer look. It turned out that this was an ancient city ruins. Most of the buildings had collapsed under the erosion of wind and sand, and had already been buried by wind and sand, leaving only a section of solid city wall, which was all made of stone blocks. I don't know how many years it has been.

The exploration team dug down the ruins of the ancient city with engineering shovels, and Zhou Boyang's subordinates also came to help. Everyone began to divide the excavation area in a coordinated manner, and Lin Fan and Xuan Ming were no exception.

This large group of people worked hard all night, until the dawn of the next day, a small part of the ruins began to show, which were divided into three layers, all of which were courtyard-style buildings, of which the main hall was 90 meters long.

Most of these buildings are made of rammed earth, and a few of them are built of stone blocks. However, because of the age and the wind and sun, the excavated part of the building has been dilapidated, and nothing can be distinguished at all. , also has no value.

Someone dug up a few pieces of pottery and sent them to Zhou Boyang. He observed them carefully, while the others, who had worked all night and were hungry and tired, started to light a fire to cook. Lin Fan and Xuan Ming lay on the sand, breathing the morning breeze. Air, rest with half-closed eyes.

After a while, after breakfast, the group reunited and began to discuss the next step of the itinerary.

Holding several pieces of pottery in his hand, Zhou Boyang said: "That's right, this piece of historic site should belong to the same age as the altar we are looking for. You can see that the decoration on this piece of pottery is mainly Jomon, and there are some other carvings. pattern and groove pattern, which is a typical late Shang pottery..."

"You mean this is the place we're looking for?" Captain Zhao is not interested in the characteristics of Shang Dynasty pottery, he just wants to know if this is their destination.

Zhou Boyang slowly shook his head and said: "This is not it. Judging from the architectural style of this site, this is a palace. You can see that there are some vague carvings on a section of the stone pillar dug out there. The weapon held is like a phoenix bird tattoo. This kind of weapon is long and long, with a sharp front and a protruding middle ridge. There is a circle in the front part of the inner part, and the end is bent and drooping, making a dome. The rear part is decorated with a single line to outline the pattern of a phoenix bird, with a hooked beak, round eyes, a high crown on the top of the head, and a curled tail. It belongs to the ceremonial weapon of the late Shang Dynasty.

Seeing Zhou Boyang talking more and more vigorously, Captain Zhao became a little impatient. He interrupted the other party and asked directly: "Just tell us how far the place we are looking for is from here, and that direction should we go."

Zhou Boyang said without hesitation: "The northern part of the Shang Dynasty architecture is the royal residence area, that is, the palace, the central part is the Shang Dynasty court and ancestral temple, and the southern part is the sacrificial place. We should go further south."
