On the third day after the Xifeng team and the business team finished the provincial derby, Song Weiyang took Hu Geng and game artists to a remote suburb more than 10 kilometers away from the company.

Well, Song Weiyang and Chen Tao are there to play, and the others belong to Caifeng.

More than two months ago, a large number of ivory, broken jade and bronze artifacts were suddenly excavated in Jinsha Village, and archaeologists immediately went to excavate and protect them. Now there are phased results, and the cultural relics unearthed at this site are very similar to those of Sanxingdui. But the details are not the same, the bronze mask of the Sanxingdui site is coiled in a bun, while the bronze mask of the Jinsha site is combed with braids.

Experts preliminarily speculate that the ancestors of Sanxingdui did not suddenly disappear, but moved to the vicinity of the Jinsha site, which is a continuation of the Sanxingdui culture. Some experts believe that it is possible that there was an internal division of the tribe, which led to the migration of some tribesmen, which gave rise to similar but different cultures.

There is an even more ridiculous inference that the Sanxingdui site and the Jinsha site may have differences in beliefs, and the contradiction of faith in ancient times belongs to the appearance of the contradiction of rights. Sanxingdui is the "hair bun faction", Jinsha is the "pigtail faction", just like the beggar gang dirty clothes faction and the clean clothes faction, the power struggle between the two factions has led to the differentiation and decline of Sanxingdui civilization.

Either way, there is no written record of either ruin, and there is no way to find clues from the classics, so the rest is left to imagination.

But no matter how you guess, the two relics must have a deep connection, and they both belong to the Sanxingdui culture.

It was a large construction site for the development of a residential complex, and Song Weiyang came here in high spirits, but was only allowed to stand on the outskirts and watch from afar.

There was no toilet at the archaeological site, so Director Wang ran to the grass more than 30 meters away and greeted Song Weiyang with a smile: "Boss Song, I have mud on my hands, and I haven't washed my hands when I urinate, so I won't shake hands with you." There are a batch of unearthed artifacts to be packed and shipped away, you can go and see them up close, but you can't take pictures, and don't interfere with the work of the archaeologists. ”

"Excuse me, Director Wang. Song Weiyang said.

Director Wang joked: "I didn't bother, Boss Song was polite." You donated a lot of pure water, biscuits, and canned food to the archaeological site, and it doesn't matter if you can see it casually, or if our archaeological team earned it. ”

"Teacher, something good has happened!"

Suddenly, a young man shouted, Director Wang didn't have time to say goodbye to Song Weiyang, turned around and ran over there.

Song Weiyang naturally couldn't disturb other people's work and take people to watch the packing of unearthed cultural relics.

Those cultural relics were preliminarily cleaned up, and Chen Tao leaned over and looked at it for a while: "It's similar to the bronze mask of Sanxingdui, no wonder the newspaper said that 'Sanxingdui No. 2' was found." ”

Hu Geng said: "Some experts speculate that this area may be the legendary 'Piyi'. ”

"Piyi" is the capital of Du Yu, the king of ancient Shu in the history books, as for Du Yu, he is also known as "Emperor Wang", "Zhuang Shengxiao dreams of butterflies, and Emperor Wang's spring heart trusts the cuckoo". The first batch of cultural relics at the Jinshan site has been published in the newspaper, causing a sensation in the country, so various experts began to speculate that this neighborhood belongs to the ancient Shu capital "Piyi".

Song Weiyang said with a smile: "We can make an advanced map, and the main city of this game map is called Piyi." Fox, you and the artist have a good observation and study, expand your imagination to build an ancient Shu style, and reflect the elements of bronze trees and bronze masks. ”

"It's a lot of work," Hu Geng said with a smile, "but it's quite interesting, it's hard work." ”

Song Weiyang had a flash of inspiration: "It's just that the leader of this map is Emperor Wangdi Du Yu, and he turned his mount into a giant panda." ”

Hu Geng shook his head and said: "According to the description in myths and legends, Emperor Wangdi Du Yu should be a figure in the Dayu period, and his main achievement is to control the floods in Shu. This conflicts with the game's timeline, so it's better to set the leader as the Silkworm Cong clan, who is both the incarnation of Shu and the founding king of the ancient Shu Kingdom. Although the age is not accurate, it can be said that the silkworm Cong clan can live for thousands of years. His mount is a giant panda and his pet is a golden silkworm, so it's well designed. ”

"You can do it yourself. Song Weiyang said with a smile.

The map of the Ancient Shu Kingdom is similar to the "Mystery of the Panda Man" in "World of Warcraft", which is a high-level map that was only opened in the middle and late stages.

Song Weiyang still visited the archaeological site for the first time in his life, and he felt that everything was novel, and before he knew it, it was already noon.

Lunch was cooked and delivered by nearby farmers, and Director Wang came over with a rice bowl and said with a smile: "Boss Song, you are a noble person of our archaeological team, we found good things as soon as you came." ”

"What's good?" Song Weiyang asked.

Director Wang said excitedly: "A gold ornament, the pattern is the sun god bird, and the four birds are negative sun. The whole jewelry is divided into two layers, according to my preliminary inference, the four birds should represent the four seasons, and the inner layer of 12 rotating rays represents the 12 months of the year, it is very likely that the ancient Shu people have mastered the lunisolar calendar. ”

"Four Birds Negative Sun?" Hu Geng likes to read mythological stories, and instantly has various associations.

Director Wang nodded and said: "Judging from the various signs of unearthed cultural relics, the ancestors of the Jinsha site should worship the sun. Two days ago, a bronze statue was also unearthed, with 13 ivory-shaped rotating arc decorations on the crown and hat. This is very similar to the pattern of the sun god bird, and it is likely that all of them represent the rays of the sun, and the 13 rays may be leap moons. ”

Song Weiyang laughed: "You can really guess." ”

Director Wang said helplessly: "There is no way, I can't find any written records, so I can only make reasonable speculations." ”

Hu Geng asked, "Can I take a look at the negative day of the four birds?"

Director Wang nodded and said, "Yes, it's not a secret, as long as you don't take pictures, I'll take you over." ”

When the moment of seeing the four birds negative day gold ornaments, everyone can't take their eyes off, and its shape has a feeling of looking at the Taiji diagram, and the more you look at it, the more you feel that it is mysterious and mysterious.

Song Weiyang had seen it in his previous life, because of the pattern of the four birds with a negative sun, it defeated all the cultural relics in the country, and finally became a symbol of China's cultural heritage protection. It can be interpreted in various ways, what is the pursuit of light, what is unity and progress, what is harmony and tolerance, and even can convey the philosophical idea of the unity of nature and man.

"This shape and composition is amazing!" said Lu Xiaoyin, the chief artist of the Shanhaijing game project.

Hu Geng's eyes rolled: "Why don't you choose the Four Birds Negative Day as the game icon of "The Classic of Mountains and Seas"?"

Lu Xiaoyin immediately said: "This can be had! Invite another calligrapher to make the 'Classic of Mountains and Seas' into an artistic font and combine it with the negative day chart of the four birds." ”

Hu Geng muttered: "There is indeed a saying in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas: The Great Wilderness East Classic" that 'Golden Crow Negative Day', but it is in the easternmost Tang Valley. As far as the archaeological site is concerned, it should be located in the western part of the Great Wilderness, and there are actually golden crows here, and there are four golden crows, how to write a plot?"

Song Weiyang pointed to the sun god bird gold ornament and said: "The three-legged golden crow in the "Great Wilderness East Classic" is a three-legged golden crow, you see that the golden crow here only has one leg, then it is understood as a one-legged golden crow." They are all relatives of the Golden Crow family, and the four one-legged Golden Crows are the guardian beasts here, and they have various origins with the three-legged Golden Crows in Tanggu. As for the origin, you can make it up yourself. ”

"Then I'll think again. Hu Geng nodded.

Song Weiyang said: "Aren't you planning to write? While planning the game and writing at the same time, I will help you do the publication promotion, and strive to hype up the popularity of the game before it is launched." ”

Hu Geng said happily: "Then I'll write it, and it will definitely not delay the progress of game development." By the way, I also want to add the plot of the ancient Shu Kingdom, which is a hidden race outside the Five Elements race. ”

"Sou Shen Ji" in this time and space, I'm afraid it will be a little different......
