Treasure hunt begins in England

Chapter 317

Although the cards obtained from the Mingjiao ruins this time look very powerful from the name, they are actually closer to street tricks, and they basically cannot play the role they used to have today.

However, for Liang En, the harvest this time is quite satisfactory, although these techniques are not only incapable of deceiving people today, even as magic tricks, they seem old-fashioned.But if you look at these things as a folklore, there is still some value.

And this time I found another unexpected harvest, that is, Fan Meng's relatives once again invited Liang En and the others to a meal that night, and expressed their sincere thanks.

In the past, because this place was only regarded as a bandit village, the local cultural relics protection department simply took pictures, surveyed and mapped it and left a file, and did not take care of this place.

But now, various evidences have confirmed that this relic is not the relic of a bandit cottage that is very common in the local mountainous area, but the last known monastery of Manichaeism in China.

Therefore, the archaeological department decided to conduct a large-scale excavation of this relic.Although the core of excavation and scientific research work is mainly carried out by those archaeological team members, there are still many jobs that need to be filled by local labor, and some daily necessities must be purchased nearby.

And this is naturally a good thing for Hewan Village who live in the nearest distance, because they can make a small profit from the excavation site by selling the vegetables and fruits they grow themselves, and at the same time, the labor force in the village can also take advantage of this opportunity make some money.

"Thank you so much. If it weren't for your discovery this time, I don't think we would have known that the place we regarded as a bandit stronghold had such a history." Fan Meng, who received Liang En and the others before said the old cousin.

As the village director of this village, he naturally knows more than the villagers in the same village.For example, he knows that this village is so close to the city, surrounded by mountains and rivers, and has a good view, so it is more suitable for the development of tourism.

It's a pity that there are not many valleys with mountains and water in the surrounding area, so a small mountain village with no characteristics like them just occasionally receives some donkey friends.

But with the excavation of the ruins now, this area has its own characteristics, so if there are no accidents, Hewan Village should be able to have a new source of income.

So because of the villagers' persuasion, Liang En and the others stayed here for another day, and then they left the small village, and got on a car to return to Rongcheng, the provincial capital, with everyone's farewell.

In the next few days, Liang En and the others visited those special local attractions, including a series of local special attractions such as Three Lanes and Seven Alleys, Gushan, Pingtan Island, etc., and also ate a lot of delicious local specialties.

Perhaps because the city is close to the sea, the proportion of seafood in the local diet is not small. At the same time, it is more pursuing the original light taste of the food, which tastes special.

Time passed quickly during this kind of wandering, and it felt like it was only a short time since I came to this city, and the time agreed on by the previous seminar had arrived, so on this morning, Liang En, Fan Meng and Joan of Arc Went to the previously agreed hotel.

When he came to the front of the hotel, Liang En found that above the main entrance of the hotel it was written in Chinese that all the participants of the Maritime Silk Road Seminar are here for guidance.

And on a sign on the side of the entrance, it indicates in multiple languages ​​that this place is the place where the participants of the Maritime Silk Road gathered this time.

Sure enough, when Liang En and the others came to the front desk, a full-time staff registered and checked them in, and then handed them the room cards.

"Will the official meeting start tomorrow?" After receiving the room card, Liang En asked the staff seriously. "Yes, starting from tomorrow."

The staff member subconsciously looked at the notice in his hand, and then said. "So today you guys can take a break here or communicate with those who come from other countries."

Of course, you can also move around freely.However, considering that there are only a few hours, I don't recommend you to go too far. "

"Don't worry, we won't go too far." Liang En said with a smile. "We came here early and have already visited this beautiful city before, so we don't plan to go out in the next time."

Just when Liang En put away his luggage and was about to go out for a walk, the middle-aged man in the room opposite him also came out of the room.

After realizing that the room opposite to him had already been occupied, the middle-aged man first looked at Liang En, and then asked, "Are you the Mr. Liang who deciphered the ancient Egyptian text?"

"Yes, I am. Excuse me, are you—" Liang En nodded with a smile. He didn't find it strange that he was recognized. After all, he is now a little famous in the academic world, so these professionals can It's normal to recognize yourself.

The only regret was that because Liang En had been working in Europe and America before, he didn't know what this Huaxia old man did.

Fortunately, this Huaxia old man also saw Liang En's predicament, so he introduced himself.

After listening to the introduction, Liang En learned that the scholar's surname was Liu, and his main research was about the ancient voyages, maritime trade and overseas immigration of the residents of Bamin. He also studied Arabic, which is why he was invited. to this seminar.

Because everyone is of Chinese descent, and because Liang En speaks Chinese, the two quickly came to a tea room downstairs to discuss matters about the upcoming seminar.

In the first three days of the seminar, we discussed a series of content in the hotel and exchanged information among ourselves, and in the next week, we will go to sea to conduct field research on an underwater relic discovered by fishermen before. .

"What's going on with that underwater ruin?" After chatting for a while and getting familiar with each other, Liang Enxun asked about the most important part of this seminar. "I don't see any details about the underwater ruins in the announcement."

"This is mainly to ensure safety." Professor Liu said. "Because the sunken ship is located near a hidden reef in the far sea of ​​China's exclusive economic zone, we must avoid the possibility of being stolen, especially this time it is an international seminar, and the possibility of information leakage is not small."

"This is understandable. Before I started the excavation work in the Sinai Peninsula, I also carried out strict confidentiality work, just to prevent others from stealing the excavation before they know about it." After hearing what the professor said, Liang En felt a sense of Qi Qi nodded.

"I imagine that China's domestic control is not bad. Unlike when I was in Egypt, I even encountered armed tomb robbers. Thanks to our good relationship with the local aborigines, we successfully stopped this robbery. .”

Obviously, fighting wits with tomb robbers in the wild is very attractive, so at the request of Professor Liu, Liang En talked about what happened in the Sinai Peninsula at that time.

Of course, these stories have been edited, mainly to remove Liang En's personal participation in the whole process, but even so, Professor Liu and several other experts and scholars nodded in amazement at how exciting they were.
