Chapter seven hundred and seventy first things are not old and expensive
"Why did they abandon such a giant city?"
Standing on this city wall that cannot be built by modern technology, Long Wanda was also a little lost. He could not guess what happened at the beginning, and all the people living here left this place.
"Because this place has lost what they rely on for survival..." Fang Yi said: "Although this place can allow ordinary people to live, those powerful people are shackled, so they can only leave."
If he didn't know about spiritual energy, Fang Yi would probably not be able to guess the reason why these people left. However, he, who knew a little about the ancient secret, immediately guessed that, like the place where the ancient Qi Refiner practiced in the Wild Man Mountain, was abandoned because of the lack of spiritual energy.
However, Long Wanda didn't know anything about spiritual energy, so Fang Yi didn't say much, just mentioned it in a general way.
"What are they rely on for survival?" Long Wanda's eyes lit up. He felt that Fang Yi and Peng Bin must have known something he didn't know.
"have no idea!"
Peng Bin knew Fang Yi was really handsome, afraid that he would say it straight away, and said immediately: "The people at that time were very strange. Who knew what happened to them? The civilization that suddenly disappeared was not the only one here..."
"I really didn't expect that there would be such a strong era for humans..."
Long Wanda sighed when he heard this. All the powerful humans on the stone murals can be escaped by flying in the sky. To explain it with modern science, they are the kind of people who evolve themselves, and develop their potential to the extreme, thus producing powerful abilities.
"The era of human strength also exists in some places abroad..."
Hearing Long Wanda's feelings, Peng Bin couldn't help but curl his lips and said, "Some discoveries in Maya culture also show the strength of human beings in that era. Didn't they disappear suddenly? I think such a space is definitely more than this place on the earth..."
According to some of the existing sites in the Mayan culture, Mayan civilization was the earliest civilization to develop religion. The original remains were composed of some simple earth tombs, which later evolved into pyramids.
The Mayans built many magnificent halls, temples, mausoleums and huge stone tablets with stone blocks. The buildings were magnificent and magnificent. To this day, in the remaining Mayan ruins in the tropical jungles of Yucatan or Guatemala, you can see the bright colors and beautiful patterns on the broken walls.
The ancient war murals created in the 8th century AD are left in the Bonan Park ruins. The characters in the paintings are lifelike and vivid, with realistic expressiveness. They are one of the world's famous mural art treasures today.
According to archaeologists' research, the existing Mayan culture discovered is just the tip of the iceberg of its original Mayan civilization.
Many archaeologists believe that in the Mayan civilization era, not only was the science prosperous, but humans at that time also had unparalleled power, because in many Mayan civilization sites, they discovered pictures of humans flying into the sky and fighting giant eagles.
These have also been discovered in some places in China. In places like Dunhuang Grottoes, there are many murals of human flying in the sky. However, today people only regard them as the beautiful wish of the ancients, but they did not expect that these things were very likely to exist.
Another point is that, like the Mogo dynasty in Cambodia, Mayan culture suddenly declined after a long period of development, and the process made countless archaeologists puzzled.
It is recorded that in 830 AD, the construction of the vast construction in Kopan City was suddenly stopped. In 835 AD, the construction of the pyramid temple in Palenque was stopped. In 889 AD, the temple group under construction of Dikar was interrupted. In 909 AD, the last castle of the Mayans stopped half of the stone pillars.
In less than a hundred years, the Mayans scattered in the jungle abandoned their original homes and moved northward collectively. From then on, the Mayan culture disappeared into the jungle and was not discovered again after a thousand years.
During the time when Peng Bin was abroad, he was very interested in mysterious theories, so he once went to South America alone to explore the ruins of the Mayan civilization. Later, when Boss Peng found out, his living expenses were cut off, so Peng Bin had to return to China in disappointment.
The Mayan civilization, the Angkor Dynasty, Peng Bin didn't feel anything when he heard it, but now he has connected it with other civilizations that suddenly disappeared, so Peng Bin discovered that these things should not be occasional, but have some unknown connection.
"Brother, let's think about how to leave here..."
Listening to Peng Bin's long speech there, Fang Yi smiled bitterly. The three of them had eaten wild vegetables for many days, and had not even had a sip of hot water. If the three of them were not martial arts practitioners, they would have fallen ill long ago.
"Aren't all the murals drawn? They all left that mountain..."
Peng Bin pointed to the mountain that was higher than the city wall and said, "On the last few murals, a group of people entered the mountains. I think there must be a way to leave there. Let's look for it in the city first, and then go up the mountain..."
Although there is no sun in this space and the sky looks a little gray, the vision is very good. Standing on the city wall, you can see a very far place. Several people were observing the situation in the city just now.
"Okay, search inside from the periphery..." Standing on the city wall, Fang Yi had already remembered the general outline of the giant city. This giant city was centered on that mountain, and it was dozens of kilometers from the edge of the city to the foot of the mountain.
Some buildings around the city are relatively low from the walls, and the streets are not very spacious. The closer the buildings to the mountains, the taller and more magnificent they are, especially the buildings at the foot of the mountain, which are long and long, so Fang Yi can't even see the end.
"Such a giant city was built to withstand the beasts outside. I wonder how fierce those birds and beasts are?"
When he was lowering the city wall, Peng Bin also expressed his feelings. He said this was a bit regretful, but unfortunately he was born at the wrong time. If he was born here, he would probably be able to become a human as powerful as the murals and fight against the prehistoric beasts.
"Strange, why haven't we seen the corpse of beasts when we were outside?"
Long Wanda murmured in a low voice, because some of the birds displayed on the murals can cover the sky and the sun with their wings, and some of the giant beasts are like hills. Logically speaking, these creatures should have corpses and remains after they disappear.
Although Long Wanda was not speaking loudly, Peng Bin and Fang Yi were both very powerful. Peng Bin replied: "Who knows what era this place is? If hundreds of thousands of years pass, let alone become fossils, they may all turn into dust and nutrients in the soil..."
In fact, although Peng Bin didn't say everything right, he was almost inseparable.
In the ancient wilderness era, these ferocious birds and giant beasts all had powerful power and could strengthen their own wild beasts through spiritual energy. Their flesh, flesh, fur and even bones were full of spiritual energy, and they nourished humans after eating them.
So after these ferocious beasts were killed, almost all their flesh became food for humans at that time, and their bones were either abandoned in the wilderness or polished into tools that humans could use.
But after time passed, the spiritual energy suddenly disappeared from this space. The powerful beasts that could not be evolved, like humans, all left this place.
Although this place has a passage to the outside world, it is a place of its own space. For example, towering trees that are hundreds of meters high require abundant spiritual energy, but the rare fruits that are seen by the outside world do not consume much spiritual energy in this space.
After the spiritual energy disappeared, the remaining spiritual energy was still nourishing this space, but it was getting less and less. The corpses of wild beasts left before were absorbed by this space. The remaining ones really turned into nutrients of dust and soil, just as Peng Bin said.
When Luang Putuo entered this space, his spiritual energy had not been completely exhausted, so the scene he saw was completely different from now. However, hundreds of years have passed, and the last trace of spiritual energy has been exhausted here, and even the magic circles that originally led to the outside world have lost their function.
Apart from the thick dust, there is no debris on the streets of the giant city. It looks very clean. If it weren't for the silence of the dead, it would even give people a feeling that it would be filled with people in the next moment. No one would have thought that before the endless years, there would be no human life here.
The place closest to the city gate was obviously a bustling street in the past. The stone buildings on both sides were tall and the streets were spacious. There were ditches on both sides of the road for residents to excrete sewage. The design was extremely reasonable.
But Fang Yi and others who had climbed the city wall knew that in the remote places, the houses would become very short and even more empty. There were obviously wooden houses built before, but after a long time, they had collapsed.
"It seems that in ancient times, there was a distinction between rich and poor..."
Looking at the empty streets, Fang Yi couldn't help but sigh, no matter which social system is in, classes always exist. This is an ever-changing phenomenon that no one can change.
"Why do you say so much? Let's go in and see what's inside?"
Peng Bin had been very impatient for a long time. He rushed to the door of the first stone house. Peng Bin, who was about to kick the door, found that the place where the wooden door should have been installed had long been decayed, and the empty door made people see the situation inside at a glance.
"Damn, don't you even give me a chance to be a robber?"
Peng Bin laughed and cursed in disappointment, then walked in. But as soon as he entered the house, the sound of wind driven by his body caused dust to fall down from the beams of the house. Peng Bin, who was so dirty that he was quickly retreated out.
"Cough...cough...cough..."
Peng Bin, who was choked by the dust, coughed several times before he came to his senses. He stared at the house with anger and cursed: "Grandma, I'll burn you all with a torture..."
"Brother, the beams of the roof have rotted and turned into dust. What are you going to burn? Can this stone be ignited?"
Hearing Peng Bin's words, Fang Yi couldn't help laughing. He could see that after many years, only stones still exist in the world, and those wood products had long turned into dust.
"In life, let alone living beyond stones, even the plants and trees outside can't survive?"
Seeing this situation, Fang Yi smiled and felt a lot of emotion. As the wisest life on the earth, human life span is so short. Sometimes a piece of paper and furniture can be retained for hundreds or thousands of years, but the humans who created them have long been transformed into a bowl of loess.
"Ahem, brother, don't be sad, hurry up and see what's inside, right?" Peng Bin glared at Fang Yi angrily. The dust in the room was a bit thick, and as soon as he entered, it was dusty and he could not see the scene inside at all.
Although it was very bright outside, the depth of the stone house was a bit deep, and it was a bit blurry when looking inside. Peng Bin just saw a few things that seemed to be like tables and chairs, but there seemed to be a little wind, and those things quickly turned into dust.
"Brother, can you just go in and hold your breath?"
Seeing Peng Bin's dirty look, Fang Yi held back his smile and said, "If you can't see it, don't look at it. Let's reach out and touch it. As long as the objects that can still be preserved are probably useful, you can take it out..."
"Okay, you guys wait, I'll go and touch it..." Peng Bin said with a sad and angry look on his face: "I heard that tomb robbing in your country is called gold shaking. This is really a bit of a truth. Grandma's, I'll go in and touch what good things are there?"
After Peng Bin finished speaking, he took a deep breath before Fang Yi spoke and entered the previous room. This time, Peng Bin was prepared and kept holding his breath and quickly touched the door from the door after entering.
"Bao, bah..." A few minutes later, Peng Bin's huge body came out of the room. As soon as he came out, he spit out the dust falling between his mouth and nose. In his arms, he seemed to be holding a few things.
"I took out all these things inside, and the rest turned into dust."
After removing the dust on his hair and face, Peng Bin carefully placed the dusty thing in his arms on the ground. He believed Fang Yi's words and believed that all the items that could be preserved were treasures.
"Brother, this... is this pottery? Why does it look a bit like a shit bucket?"
Looking at the object slightly missing from the round mouth that Peng Bin put down, Fang Yi squatted down and knocked it with his hand, listening to the echo, and said, "That's right, this is the pottery made of soil. If I read it correctly, it should be a dumpling..."
"Brother, what is a scumbag? This is something from many years ago, it must be worth a lot of money, right?"
Peng Bin also knew that this round object was definitely not a skill, but it would be nice to find some antiques. At the beginning of the year, Peng Bin made a big profit from Fang Yi. These objects must have been older, wouldn’t they be more valuable?
"Brother, can the value of antiques be calculated by the age?" Fang Yi smiled bitterly when he heard this, and it was really a bit difficult to explain these things to his elder brother.
Just like a folk porcelain bowl from the Tang Dynasty, it costs hundreds of yuan, and the finest ones are only thousands of yuan, while the Ming and Qing porcelain can be sold at a sky-high price of tens of thousands of yuan, and blue and white porcelain can be sold at a sky-high price of 100 million yuan. A piece of old jade from the Qing Dynasty is sometimes not as good as a modern jade craft.
When an antique is a commodity, its characteristics are concentrated in two points. One is that it is ancient and has a sense of vicissitudes of history. Often these things are the best witnesses of a historical period, and the other is that it is cultural, tasteful, and artistic. Only with these two characteristics can it become precious antiques.
For objects like gems and jade, their value is usually not about the age, but mainly depends on the materials of the jewelry itself, such as diamonds, Hetian white jade, emeralds, and jade. As long as the material is right, even uncarved raw stones can be sold at a good price.
However, porcelain, bronze, calligraphy and painting and other objects are different from jade. Due to the artificial participation in carving, carving, painting and technical conditions determine its artistic level, and the market price is reflected in the artistic value.
Yu Xuan once said to Fang Yi that it had high artistic value and valuable things in ancient times, but it would still be valuable in modern times, but it was valuable objects in ancient times, but it was not worth much money now.
Just like the pottery brought out by Peng Bin, the workmanship is extremely rough, and the ring is not very neat and there is still a piece missing. It looks like a shoddy thing. No matter how long it is, it is not worth much money.
"Don't this thing have a name? You... what kind of thing you call it a bastard, it should be worth a lot, right?" From this room, Peng Bin found something that was not broken after buying it. She was so unwilling to accept it when Fang Yi said it.
"Brother, do you know what a scumbag is?"
Hearing Peng Bin's words, Fang Yi couldn't help but smile bitterly, shook his head and said, "The scrap bucket was used by people in ancient times to spit out fruit cores or food impurities. At best, it is a little higher than a pot, and it is similar to a spittoon. What kind of money do you think this thing is worth?"
"What? This thing is a spittoon?"
Before Fang Yi could finish his words, Peng Bin's eyes became stunned. He raised his foot and kicked the pottery. With a "bang", the pottery that had been around for many years had turned into pieces under Peng Bin's feet.
"Hmm? What is this?"
Fang Yi suddenly discovered that there was an iron-like object in the pottery jar that was round in the size of a palm. He quickly reached out and picked it up. After getting started, Fang Yi knew that it was indeed an iron product. Because it was covered with a thick layer of rust, he gently broke it with his hand, and the thing was broken in half.
