Since Dayu ruled the water, the Xia Dynasty was established, and since then the Chinese civilization has embarked on a new historical stage, bidding farewell to the previous years of famine known as gods and demons, but even so, between the Xia Dynasty and the Zhou Dynasty, there are still a large number of ancient ruins that have puzzled the world for a long time.
For example, the Sanxingdui civilization in Guanghan, located in Sichuan, China, is still a mystery in academic circles.
The Sanxingdui civilization of Guanghan belongs to the ancient Shu civilization, and the ancient Shu civilization is different from the Central Plains civilization in ancient times and the early Spring and Autumn Period, but it is inextricably linked with the ancient civilization of the Central Plains. No one knows what their living customs and ethnicity were like.
However, around 3200 years ago, the Sanxingdui civilization, which was once prosperous, suddenly fell into decline and declined rapidly, and after that, where did the ancient Shu people go? What are the reasons for the sudden decline of Sanxingdui civilization? These historical puzzles that have plagued modern academic circles for a long time have cast a veil of mystery over the ancient Shu civilization.
And in 2001, this historical puzzle gradually surfaced, the excavation of the ruins of Jinsha in Sichuan, for people to solve this historical puzzle, after more than two years of arduous excavation, a large number of unprecedented cultural relics and relics were revealed, at this moment, the late Shang Dynasty to the Western Zhou Dynasty of the ancient Shu capital of the whereabouts of the capital of the ancient Shu only surfaced, experienced the glory of Sanxingdui, Jinsha, history into the Warring States period of the Seven Heroes for hegemony, however, the origin of these ancient people, so far a mystery.
During the excavation of the Sanxingdui site, its archaeologists have encountered several phenomena that cannot be explained scientifically, such as the sound of killing from the ground, as if thousands of troops are galloping, as well as the phantom of the mask that appears in the sky, and the mysterious ghost that comes out of the darkness from time to time......
However, this series of things was classified as confidential at the time and never leaked out, but the matter was not over, the disappearance of a jade mask led everything to the endless and distant past, and this jade mask was a phantom that once appeared in the sky......
"Hah......" Shen Hanyu yawned, pushed his sunglasses, looked up at the blazing sunlight in the sky, and muttered: "What the hell is the weather, it's still raining in the morning, and it's hot in the morning." He shook his head as he spoke, and continued to his destination, the Zurong Antique Shop.
Since graduating from university, Shen Hanyu has worked as a project manager in a company, but he has a soft spot for antiques, and if he likes an antique, he will find a way to keep it as his collection, even if it costs a lot of money, but there is one thing he hates very much for those smugglers who sell cultural relics.
Last night, when Shen Hanyu was partying with his colleagues, he accidentally got the news, but today he couldn't hold back the impulse in his heart, asked for leave and went straight to the antique shop, Shen Hanyu's home is about three miles away from the antique shop, park the car in the parking lot, Shen Hanyu walked to the antique shop, but he didn't want the weather to be so hot.
Complaining in his heart, Shen Hanyu didn't say anything more, but at the moment when Zurong Antique Shop appeared in Shen Hanyu's eyes, Shen Hanyu's eyes fell on a small stall in a shady place, and the stall owner was sitting under the big tree, waiting for the buyer with a lazy face.
Originally, Shen Hanyu was disdainful of the artworks bought by this kind of small traders, because almost all the things sold by these people were modern imitations, although many things looked like antiques in appearance, but they were actually imitations, but then again, antique shops were actually the same.
Shen Hanyu looked at the stall in front of the vendor, there were a few seemingly ancient fur books on it, as well as some porcelain and patina-mottled bronzes, among which there were some jade objects scattered among them, saying that they were jade, but in fact, they were all imposters mixed with a lot of impurities, even those jade that seemed to be of high purity, in fact, they were just imitations, not jade at all.
But today is a bit abnormal, Shen Hanyu's eyes fell on a jade mask, this mask is black all over, with a little greenery in it, which is particularly conspicuous in the pile of bronzes, although Shen Hanyu knows that there are almost no genuine goods in the hands of such vendors, but the moment he saw the jade mask, his heart was suddenly touched.
Subconsciously came to the stall and squatted down, reached out and took the jade mask, and at the moment when his fingers just touched the jade mask, a burst of coolness came out of the jade mask, which swept away the hot feeling around Shen Hanyu's body and became extremely comfortable.
"Yo, sir, you really have a good eye, this mask, but I got it through secret channels, you look at this mask, how pure the texture is, there is a little green in the inky black, you see, there is a touch of red on it, especially the oblique traces on the mask, you see for yourself the traces, whether there is still soil precipitated in it, this means that this mask has a little years, I didn't pick off the dirt for a long time." Seeing that there was a buyer, the vendor who was still lazy just now seemed to have been beaten with chicken blood, and he kept talking.
Shen Hanyu raised his eyes and looked at the hawker, he was almost tired of hearing this set of rhetoric, but although what the hawker said was amazing, Shen Hanyu was not a fool, what other secret channels, what secret channels would a hawker have? Shen Hanyu sneered, then raised the mask in his hand and asked, "Price?" ”
The peddler didn't look at it, stretched out a palm, Shen Hanyu frowned, didn't say anything, threw down the jade mask and was about to leave.
As soon as he saw that the beaked duck was about to fly, the peddler hurriedly shouted, "Hey, sir, then you can make a price?" ”
Shen Hanyu had already stood up at this moment and looked around, due to the heat of the morning, there were almost no people here, only people coming and going on the street not far away, but there were not many here, without thinking much, Shen Hanyu stretched out a finger.
"Ten thousand?" The peddler was stunned, then thought a little, made a ruthless look, and said, "Okay, 10,000 is 10,000." ”
"A hundred." Shen Hanyu said lightly.
"Poof!" The peddler was almost choked to death by Shen Hanyu's words, and his eyes suddenly widened, and he said, "Hey, sir, you are too unkind, a jade mask, you are out of a hundred?" ”
Shen Hanyu smiled slightly, then pointed to all the utensils on the stall in front of the vendor, and said with a meaningful smile: "Dude, it is you who want to be kind, the modern handicrafts you bought, not antiques, the price of a hundred is high, do you know jade?" If you know, tell me about the real price of jade and the texture of jade. ”
"This ......" Shen Hanyu's words suddenly made the hawker speechless.
"The price of a hundred is high, we both know the true value of this mask, if it weren't for seeing the beauty of this mask, I wouldn't even be a hundred, if I don't sell it, I will go to the antique shop over there." As he spoke, Shen Hanyu pointed to the Zurong antique shop not far away.
The hawker stared at Shen Hanyu deadly, the resentment in his eyes made Shen Hanyu snicker in his heart, thinking that Shen Hanyu was a layman, and the hawker exported 50,000, but he didn't expect to be cut down by Shen Hanyu 49,900 in one bite, which is directly a hundred, what a big contrast?
"Not for sale? All right. Saying that, Shen Hanyu put down his mask and turned around to leave.
"Forget it, I'm unlucky today, a hundred is a hundred." The peddler said reluctantly, took Shen Hanyu's hundred, and then watched Shen Hanyu walk away with the jade mask, the peddler put the hundred yuan into his pocket, and muttered to himself: "Forget it, Lao Tzu also earned it, anyway, he picked it up." ”
But said that Shen Hanyu took the jade mask in his hand, but he didn't go to the Zurong antique shop again, but went straight to his residence, took out a magnifying glass and began to observe the jade mask carefully, the peddler didn't know the authenticity of this jade, but he could guess it after playing antiques for so long.
Judging from the carving process and technique of this jade mask, this technique is a pure Sanxingdui civilization, and if it is confirmed that this is a real jade, then the origin of this jade mask can be determined, that is, Sanxingdui ink jade, and the price of this jade mask will increase geometrically.
But Shen Hanyu was not a professional after all, he was just an antique lover, and he had observed this noodle for an hour, and he found nothing except the mark about two millimeters deep.
Looking at the mask in his hand over and over again, Shen Hanyu kept guessing the origin of the mask in his heart, reaching out to stroke the trace, and suddenly, Shen Hanyu seemed to hear a heavy and hoarse moan, which hit Shen Hanyu's heart hard.
Frightened by this abrupt voice, Shen Hanyu subconsciously looked at the mask in his hand, but the voice disappeared mysteriously.
After being stunned for a moment, Shen Hanyu suddenly smiled self-deprecatingly, rubbed his temples and said, "Alas...... Thinking all day long, I'm almost crazy, hehe. ”
Saying that, Shen Hanyu fell on the bed, still a little puzzled in his heart, so he picked up the jade mask again, looking at the empty eyes of the jade mask, Shen Hanyu also came up with a burst of sleepiness, idle and bored, put the black jade mask on his face, and fell asleep unconsciously.
And at the moment when Shen Hanyu fell asleep, a faint blood light slowly lit up from the trace of the mask, accompanied by that heavy and hoarse moan, as if passing through the endless void, from the ancient desolation into the current world, echoing in the gloomy room, creepy......
However, it was said that Shen Hanyu dreamed that he walked into a desolate Gobi Desert, the ground was full of human bones, and the entire Gobi was barren and desolate except for the dry corpses, which looked extremely desolate.
Shen Hanyu wandered aimlessly in this dry corpse field, looking at the dried corpses under his feet, all with hideous faces, as if he had encountered something terrible before his death, Shen Hanyu inadvertently turned his head, but found that at a distance of 100 meters behind him, a tall man in black armor stood proudly on the hill.
As if sensing Shen Hanyu's gaze, the man suddenly turned around, the black jade mask was extremely dazzling, and at the moment when the man turned around, a roar suddenly came, and then Shen Hanyu was horrified to find that the dried corpses on the ground all raised their arms, like legendary zombies standing upright, and pounced on themselves......
