Chapter 505

Of course, these were still in the minority.

But even if they were in the minority, it was enough to make people feel extremely heartbroken.

"Mayor Ouyang, what you said really makes me not know how to react."

The Cultural Relics Bureau and archaeological experts were all very capable when it came to exploring and excavating ancient objects.

Fang Yang was only able to accurately find the specific locations of artifacts because he had a golden finger.

Otherwise...

Did they really think he was born with good luck?

In this world, how could there be such a thing as good luck for no reason?

Fang Yang's gaze fell on the person opposite him.

Anyway, no matter what the other party wanted to say, he would try his best not to respond.

Who knew if they would make some rather outrageous requests?

Having been through so many cities, Fang Yang had truly met all kinds of people.

Although he was smiling on the face, his vigilance in his heart had not diminished at all.

Fang Yang watched the person opposite him hesitate to speak, but in the end, they said nothing.

"I brought a map. There are 11 places we have selected and negotiated. You see which one is good."

The mayor's secretary didn't talk nonsense at this moment; he walked over directly and handed Fang Yang a map.

They had prepared the map in advance because when they watched Fang Yang's recorded videos, they noticed the detail that he could determine whether there were treasures just by looking at a map.

If you don't know some things, you won't think too much, but once you know, it's hard not to think too much.

Although those thoughts might be a bit like a fantasy.

"Let's go with this place."

Fang Yang just took a casual look and then determined the next place to go.

Seeing that Fang Yang only picked one place, Mayor Ouyang's expression clearly showed doubt and surprise.

"Just this one place? Are you sure?"

Could it be that among the many places they had selected, only one was useful?

Mayor Ouyang couldn't help but think this way in his heart, his expression even showing a bit of struggle.

However, Fang Yang had already spoken.

Based on what he had done before, he must be right to trust him.

Thinking of this, Mayor Ouyang didn't talk nonsense and directly let his subordinates make arrangements.

The place Fang Yang selected was not very far from the city center.

They arrived at their destination in about 20 minutes.

After arriving at the destination, he saw that the tools here had already been arranged for him.

He hadn't seen how Mayor Ouyang arranged it before; it seemed that many things had been explained long ago.

So once the arrangement was mentioned, the speed of the arrangement naturally became fast.

"Fang Yang, we have arrived at the destination now. Quickly take a look and see what artifacts can be excavated here?"

"These things are buried underground. Excavating them is not a very difficult thing, but it's not a simple thing either. Let me take a look by myself first."

Fang Yang said this to Mayor Ouyang, then looked around the vicinity.

This was a grassy area, and there was a huge shopping mall next to it.

Although it was a huge shopping mall, it appeared overly deserted.

Compared to the shopping malls in the city center, it couldn't compare at all.

Fang Yang's gaze swept over the largest shopping mall, then slowly fell on the ground where they were currently standing.

"That shopping mall over there looks like it's about to be abandoned."

Fang Yang opened his mouth and said a sentence, as if he were mentioning it casually, without any other emotions in his words.

Mayor Ouyang didn't think much when he heard Fang Yang ask this, and even when talking about this matter, he couldn't help but shake his head.

"This location isn't actually very remote, but business has always been bad. Instead of shopping here, it's better to go to the busier streets. Everyone doesn't like to come here."

Fang Yang nodded upon hearing Mayor Ouyang's explanation.

He didn't ask any more questions, but instead refocused his gaze on the plot of land he was going to excavate.

At this moment, Mayor Ouyang suddenly felt that something was wrong.

So, he couldn't help but ask: "Fang Yang, why did you suddenly ask me about that shopping mall? Is there something underneath it?"

Fang Yang's eyes paused slightly, then he smiled and said: "Just asking casually."

Fang Yang did not answer Mayor Ouyang's question directly.

Mayor Ouyang didn't believe what Fang Yang said at all and wanted to ask a few more questions, but Fang Yang had already left.

Fang Yang had already started the excavation work.

Before Mayor Ouyang could even come back to his senses, Fang Yang said: "Found it."

Upon hearing this, Mayor Ouyang suddenly couldn't remember what he had just wanted to ask.

【Stork, Fish, and Stone Axe Painted Pottery Jar】

【Neolithic Age Artifact】

【47 cm high, 32.7 cm caliber, 19.5 cm base diameter】

【...】

Fang Yang operated the excavator as if he were using his own left and right hands; he was very skilled.

In just a moment, he had excavated the entire object.

Although this object looked very large, it wasn't actually that difficult as long as you found the right angle.

Fang Yang pulled it up without any damage, which surprised everyone around him.

Especially those who specialized in artifact excavation were so surprised they couldn't close their mouths.

They knew how difficult it was to excavate artifacts without damaging them; even holding them carefully in their hands could potentially cause damage to the artifacts, let alone using such a huge excavator.

This Fang Yang really had a knack for it.

Led by Mayor Ouyang, everyone couldn't help but think this way when looking at Fang Yang.

But Fang Yang's gaze was more focused on the newly excavated Stork, Fish, and Stone Axe Painted Pottery Jar.

"This artifact looks quite old."

One of the experts stepped forward and said this directly.

353. Adult Secondary Burial, Civilization History is Constantly Being Refreshed!

"That's right." After the expert finished speaking, Fang Yang nodded in agreement: "It is indeed very old, dating back more than 6,000 years. It is an artifact from the Yangshao culture period of the Neolithic Age."

Fang Yang said this very firmly, which surprised the expert, who couldn't help but fix his gaze on Fang Yang and even took a few extra looks.

After a long while, the expert carefully observed the patterns on the artifact and then looked at Fang Yang with an appreciative gaze: "As expected of little Mr. Fang Yang, it is indeed as you said; this should be an artifact from the Neolithic Age. Look at the stork painted on it; this actually represents the totems of two different clans."

The expert explained seriously. He hadn't studied this aspect before, but ever since artifacts from the Yangshao culture period were unearthed one after another, his research in this area had increased involuntarily.

So...

How important are artifacts for understanding the background of an era?

Fang Yang had always known this, so he wasn't surprised by what the expert said.

After clearing away the surface soil, the experts made a judgment on this Stork, Fish, and Stone Axe Painted Pottery Jar.

"This should be a jar used by the ancestors to store grain."

"Maybe it's a jar for collecting water..."

Their speculation made Fang Yang, who was standing to the side, unable to stop raising his eyebrows.

He opened his mouth and explained directly: "This pottery jar was a tomb made for an adult 6,000 years ago."

"How is that possible? Such a small pottery jar couldn't possibly hold a human skeleton, especially an adult's!"

As soon as Fang Yang spoke, the others almost immediately denied it.

"Because this is an adult's secondary burial."

Fang Yang's expression was very certain.

While others were looking at him with disbelief, he explained again: "The so-called secondary burial actually means that after a person dies, they are buried first; this is the first time. After the flesh of the body has completely rotted away, the bones are then placed into a pottery jar; this is the so-called secondary burial. This is very likely a funeral custom from the ancient society period of our country."

Others couldn't possibly think of so much, and in such detail, the first time they saw these things, so they couldn't help but ask.

"Fang Yang, where on earth did you get this evidence?"

He was just making it up on the spot; even if he were writing a story, he probably wouldn't be able to make it sound so realistic.
