Forty-eight thousand years ago, ancient Shu
Shu ushered in another autumn, the withering leaves and the golden wheat are in stark contrast, but it is the real autumn footsteps. Or the cold wind before the ice is frozen, blowing the disappearance of life and the existence of life. Reincarnation never stops, at least as long as this world still exists. Just as it was thousands of years ago......
The stars flickered under the black curtain of the sky, bright or dark, hidden or visible, but they were the best tribute in the world.
The royal city, the royal palace, one of the most hidden deep halls.
A man with a golden mask, dressed in a richly made satin garment, with strange totems on it, not so much a totem as a strange mask of clothes written in odd glyphs, especially the eyes on the mask. He walked quickly, and finally came to a grand side hall, hesitated for a long time, and his hand stretched out from his sleeve and retracted, as if he was struggling with something, but the golden mask obscured all his expression. And the golden mask is the best symbol of his identity, which is a symbol of the status of the entire ancient Shu, because, here, only the supreme monarch of "Shu" can wear it, however, this is also worn by the king on major sacrifice days, or national ceremonies, and wars.
A young voice came from the hall, "Come in." Immediately, a crack opened in the heavy door, but only darkness could be seen through the gap.
Wang, stunned, of course, the mask is the best thing to hide the expression. The moment you step into the palace, the door closes, and then the palace is lit up with countless bright lights, illuminating the whole hall brilliantly. Only then can you see, the splendor of the decoration of the main hall, even more gorgeous than the main hall of the palace, but all this has nothing to do with enjoyment, this is the "Mandate of Heaven Palace" that the king is qualified to enter, it is the "Shu" sacrifice to the heavens and the sacrificial place, and no one can approach it casually, so that it is deserted like a wilderness, or even more deserted, at least, this king thinks so.
Looking at the bronze and gold casting history, culture, and various ceremonies on both sides of the main hall, the king's head not only grew again, "In the future, I will have to face these things alone." The king thought so in his heart, and when he walked to the center of the main hall, he saw a man sitting in the middle holding a book, and beside him was a golden scepter, and the king knew that this was the highest power that represented "Shu", and the people of Shu, whether they were alive or dead, saw this scepter, and they would obey orders, whether you were a king or a commoner. This is the inheritance of Shu, from the first generation, the mask as a status symbol to rule the country, and the scepter as a symbol of power to control the country.
"Here you are again, my young king, my young son." The book-bearer put down the book, raised his head and said slowly, but saw a young face, a very majestic but handsome face. He looked at the person in front of him, the youngest king in the history of "Shu", ascended to the throne at the age of fourteen, took over the country, and held the lives of tens of millions of people, but he was so young, but this did not affect his imperial talent. He is only one year old from the founding monarch of "Shu", but his excellence is still far from that emperor.
"I want to know, what is this?" Then the king took out a glowing stone from the wide placket and placed it in front of the man. He knew that the man in front of him must know, if he didn't know, perhaps, at least no one knew about "Shu". This is the tradition of "Shu", after the previous emperor crowns the next emperor, he will become the hall master of the "Mandate of Heaven Palace", and the "Mandate of Heaven Palace" has only one hall master, and there will only be him alone, who needs to wait for the arrival of the next one here. This is the foundation of "Shu", but the secret of the "Temple of Heavenly Mandate" is that when you become the master of the Temple of Heavenly Mandate, you will return to your youthful appearance, and until the arrival of the next one, it will turn into a pinch of soil or a puff of smoke or a gust of wind, in short, their traces will be erased immediately. This is the price of trusting the "Tree of Immortality", eternal youth, or immortality, but it can only happen in this "Temple of Destiny". The Immortal Tree is said to be visible only to the hall master, and it has always existed in the Temple of Heavenly Destiny. However, if one of the kings dies early, this lineage will inevitably be broken, but unless the heir is destroyed, the heir will hold two positions. And the extinction of the king's heir also proves the demise of this country, so naturally there is no need to think about anything else.
The man looked at the stone in the king's hand and whispered, "These are the stars, the stars of the sky." ”
"Stars? The stars in the sky? The king seemed to be holding a piece of star in his hand, but then he heard the man speak.
"Do you believe in reincarnation?"
"I don't know." The king's answer was crisp and clear.
"There is a saying in our lineage, 'When the stars fall into the hands of the king, Shu will end and begin again'." The man said lightly, as if it had nothing to do with him.
"I don't care about this, my 'Shu' is in my control." After saying that, it seemed that he had completed his destination here, and turned to leave.
The man picked up the scepter in his hand and said sadly: "This is the fate of 'Shu', it is the destiny of heaven, and none of us can reverse it." It's just that when the scepter and mask reappear in the world, 'Shu' will be revived. I call him 'Yixing'......"
In ancient records, the war in Shu caused chaos, the whole country was destroyed, and other countries took the opportunity to destroy Shu and annex the history of Shu. After that, the kingdom of Shu perished.
"So, the scepter we have in our hands now is the 'Heavenly Mandate Scepter' of 'Gu Shu' at that time?" A young archaeological team member asked.
"Maybe it is, maybe it isn't, you know, it's still to be verified that such a secret record was put together. Alright, today's mission is complete, let's go back to the camp and rest. A scholar-like man said to the surrounding archaeological team members, and then everyone responded, "Okay." So they went their separate to clean up the aftermath and prepare for the end.
At this time, one bright star in the sky dimmed, and the other dim began to brighten......
