Chapter 304 Cleaning up the Palace
After thinking for a while, Chen Ziyang suddenly thought of a way to get the best of both worlds to deal with the current predicament.

The problem now is that the daytime in the desert is very hot and the sun is shining brightly. Excavating under such conditions will not only consume too much physical strength, but also consume too much water in the body.

And the night in the desert is very cold, even if I am covered with sheepskin and sand, I still shiver from the cold.Sleeping on such a cold night will consume too much heat in the body, which is equivalent to consuming the few food in disguise.

The method Chen Ziyang thought of was to turn black and white upside down.When it is hot during the day, find a cool place to sleep well. In this way, you can avoid working when the temperature is high, and avoid excessive loss of physical strength and water.

And when night falls, the desert will become cold, and I will dig at this time, so that I can use sports to combat the low temperature of the desert at night.

If you use this method, you can not only save your physical strength, but also allow yourself to dig in a cool environment, so that the mining efficiency will be much higher.

After thinking of this method, even Chen Ziyang felt that he was a genius.It may be because he has made up his mind to stay here, and he no longer has the depressed mood when he was entangled in choosing between two paths. In addition, he thought of this good way, and now Chen Ziyang let go of the burden in his heart. I'm in a good mood.

But now it's not even noon, and he just woke up, so Chen Ziyang only knows that he will definitely not be able to sleep now, why not use the time when the morning is not too hot to carefully observe the palace of this ancient country, and find yourself The place where I started digging tonight, wait until the temperature rises in the afternoon and find a shady place to sleep by myself.

The ruins of this palace are very large, roughly rectangular in shape, with a distance of 300 meters from north to south, and a length of 700 meters from east to west.Chen Ziyang knew that it was unrealistic for him to dig every corner of the ruins. He would probably only dig for three or four days, so where to dig was very important.

So Chen Ziyang walked directly into the hall of the nearest palace from the round stone platform, and then he slowly sketched the ruins of the ancient palace in his heart, wanting to restore the palace in his heart, and make a general judgment Find out what these rooms are for, or arrange the order of your excavation work.

But after thinking about it, when he actually did it, Chen Ziyang found that this matter was not as simple as he imagined.

The ruins of this imperial palace have been dilapidated, and even some broken walls have disappeared in many places. It is very difficult to judge the general structure of the palace through these remaining broken walls.

Since there is no way to do this with eyes alone, Chen Ziyang thought of using a compass, but he just didn't know if Feng Shui was also used when the palaces in this ancient country were built.It is very likely that this place is relatively far from the Central Plains, so the architectural style here is not affected by the architectural style of the Central Plains, and the compass is not used at all.

After walking through the ruins of the palace with a compass for a long time, Chen Ziyang also gave up this approach.Even if the construction style of this palace is roughly the same as that of the Central Plains, and the knowledge of Feng Shui is also used, but the area of ​​this palace is very large, there are more than one room in the same direction, and it can even reach a dozen or dozens of rooms. , and the structure and size of these rooms are basically the same, it is difficult to judge what each house is for.

After heaving a long sigh, Chen Ziyang scratched his head, he felt a little troubled.It is really not an easy task to find clues to this ancient country's treasure from such a large area of ​​ruins. Various methods will not work at all, and it seems that it can only rely on luck.

After looking at the ruins of the palace for a long time, Chen Ziyang found that it was already noon, and the temperature in the desert was getting higher and higher.Looking up at the sun hanging high above his head, he knew that it was time to go to bed. Even if he did not carry out the exhausting excavation work, but under such high temperature, he would lose a lot of energy in his body. moisture.

Returning to the place where he stayed the night before, Chen Ziyang found that this place is also very suitable for sleeping during the day.The place I had chosen unintentionally could almost be regarded as a geomantic treasure.

The place he chose was located in the middle of two houses. It seemed that there should be a narrow passage before, and there was a wall of the third house at the other end of the passage. The three walls surrounded this place into a small dead end.

The remaining broken walls on both sides here are relatively high. When the sun is high during the day, the high walls on both sides can make this narrow corridor full of shadows, making the temperature here not too high.At night, the high walls on both sides can block the cold wind at night.It can be said that whether it is day or night, this place is very suitable for rest.

Lying in the shadow between two broken walls, Chen Ziyang forced himself to fall asleep quickly.Although he didn't rest very well the night before, Chen Ziyang wasn't sleepy at all, and couldn't fall asleep anyway.

It is difficult for a person who does not need to sleep to fall asleep. Lying in the shadows, Chen Ziyang tossed and turned, but he couldn't fall asleep, but he still forced himself to lie there obediently. If he gave up because he couldn't sleep at this time Take a break, and if you get up and take action again, Chen Ziyang knows that this good idea he thought will be considered useless.No matter how good an idea is, the effect of this good idea can only be brought into play after it is truly implemented and achieved results.

But sleeping is something that cannot be forced. Chen Ziyang knew that he would not be able to fall asleep in a short time, so he lay there and turned his attention to the three surrounding walls, hoping to find something interesting to stare at. For a while, so that I can guide myself to fall asleep quickly.

Just like that, Chen Ziyang lay there looking east and west, and it really made him find a more interesting place.In the direction where Chen Ziyang's head was pointing, on the shortest wall of this dead end, there were many traces of depressions.

Seeing these weird traces, Chen Ziyang turned his body 180 degrees, so that his feet were facing the wall at the end of the dead end, so that he could see the scratches on the wall.

The upper half of the entire remaining wall is densely covered with dozens of nicks of almost the same size and shape. These nicks are in the shape of a drop of water, with one end relatively round and the other end relatively elongated. About five centimeters in length.

Although the directions of these notches are not exactly the same, and there are many subtle differences between the notches and notches, and because of the relatively long age, the edges of these notches have been smoothed, which does not look so It's obvious, but it can be seen that all the nicks on this wall should be made by the same thing or tool.

What tool was used to make these nicks?What was the use of making these notches on the wall?Thinking of this, Chen Ziyang carefully observed the broken walls on both sides of him.

After looking through the two broken walls, he found that the walls of the two broken walls were relatively smooth, and even if there were some other marks, they were obviously different from the scratches on the third wall.

This is really strange, why is it only on this wall, but not on the other two walls?Chen Ziyang fixed his eyes on these traces on the wall, thinking about such problems all the time, and soon, unconsciously, Chen Ziyang who closed his eyes in a daze Falling asleep, it seems that his method of diverting attention to guide him to fall asleep is indeed very effective.

When the evening was about to set, Chen Ziyang woke up from his sleep.After stretching himself out, he found that he had a lot more energy.Seeing this kind of nicks all over the wall again, Chen Ziyang smiled slightly. He didn't expect that these nicks would have a hypnotic effect. up.

He found a relatively high broken wall, and Chen Ziyang climbed up. He sat on the top of the broken wall, eating the compressed biscuits in his backpack, drinking the water in the kettle, and looking into the distance.

The sunset in the desert has something interesting. Watching the blood-red sun sinking slowly at the junction of sand and sky, Chen Ziyang is enjoying this moment of tranquility. Intoxicated by the beauty.But at this time, Chen Ziyang was not in the mood to appreciate the beautiful scenery. No matter how beautiful the picture in front of him was, he still couldn't taste it.

After looking around all the horizons, Chen Ziyang still didn't see anyone appearing in his field of vision.Accompanied by this feeling of loss, he thought melancholy:

"Two days, this is already the second day. I activated the circular stone platform yesterday morning, and under the influence of diamonds, a violent storm blew up. I guess Yang Lei and others who were above the deep well at that time would be able to play. If they survived, two days would be enough time for them to come here from the sand dunes in the distance. It seems that they are really in danger."

Chen Ziyang understood Yang Lei's temper very well. He knew that if Yang Lei was still alive, he would definitely come back to find him, as if he stayed firmly and wanted to find Yang Lei.

If this kid is still alive now, even if there are mountains of swords and seas of fire between the two of them, he will definitely overcome all difficulties and return to his side. Even if his leg is broken, Yang Lei will crawl back with his own hands.But nearly two days had passed, but there was no news from Yang Lei, and the last trace of luck left in Chen Ziyang's heart was also shattered.

The increasingly dark sky resembled Chen Ziyang's mood at this time.After wiping away the two tears from the corners of his eyes, he jumped off the broken wall, turned around and walked to the ruins of the ancient palace.Chen Ziyang knew that he had to get back to work as soon as possible. If he stayed idle like this, he would only make his mood worse and worse, and make himself more and more depressed. This would not be good for his survival in the next few days.

The first place Chen Ziyang chose to look for clues to the treasure was in the most central and northernmost area of ​​the entire palace.Generally speaking, when playing games, the final boss will be waiting in this area, so he feels that there is a greater possibility of treasures hidden here.

The broken walls of the entire ancient country site were covered with yellow sand. Chen Ziyang knew that he could not dig up all the sand, so he stuck to the remaining broken walls and slowly cleaned the sand under the broken walls. I want to see if there is a ground in this palace, and if I can find a secret room hidden underground from a certain corner.

In this way, Chen Ziyang slowly cleaned up the sand in the palace.He slowed down his digging speed as much as possible, so that the strength of each shovel was roughly the same, and all movements were relatively slow. In this way, he could save his energy as much as possible and allow himself to dig more places.

Soon, Chen Ziyang discovered that his approach was quite correct.Although the temperature in the desert is already very low, but because I have been exercising, I don’t feel that cold. Compared with the situation where I was shivering in the sand the night before, this night was comfortable. Too much, although a little tired, but it is much better than freezing there.

A few hours later, Chen Ziyang had cleared out several sections of sand around the broken wall. He found that the palace seemed to have no ground, and there was still endless sand under the broken wall.

Because the method of inverting black and white was used just now, in the middle of the night, Chen Ziyang was already so sleepy that his upper and lower eyelids were fighting.But he still forced himself to cheer up and keep digging.After all, if he fell asleep now, it would still be difficult for him to fall asleep during the next day.

Just when Chen Ziyang was dazed due to fatigue and sleepiness, he suddenly found some strange traces on the broken wall he had dug.

These traces are different from the imprints I saw in that alley before. These traces look like some words and pictures, but because the light is very bad, and these traces have been smoothed out by time. It was not so clear, so Chen Ziyang couldn't see what was carved on the broken wall and what it meant.

At this time, he remembered the flashlight he had lost before. If he had a flashlight now, he would not be so embarrassed.

However, this unexpected discovery immediately made Chen Ziyang more energetic. He decided to wait until dawn to study these marks carefully. Now his most important task is to clean up all the sand and soil under the broken wall, so that these traces All revealed.

When the east showed a fish belly white, Chen Ziyang, who was exhausted, finally freed the broken wall from the sand, so he threw away the engineer shovel in his hand, sat down on the ground, and stared at the broken wall. Wall watched carefully.
