It was already the middle of the night, and the oilfield workers stationed by the river had happened again, and no one wanted to meddle in their affairs, and the crowd scattered in all directions.

As soon as the morning dawned, several villagers who went out to work in the big mountain villages accidentally saw a person lying next to the ancient clock, so they hurriedly went back to tell the village chief, who led people to the scene and recognized this person as the old blind man.

The flesh and blood on the top of the old blind man's head were already blurred, and when he looked at the blood stains on the ancient clock, the villagers present knew what was going on.

The old blind man actually crashed to death on the ancient clock, why is this?

Faintly, many villagers have some ominous premonitions in their hearts.

On this day, many policemen and doctors came to the Yellow River, and the bridge construction project had to be postponed until dark, but nothing else happened, and most of the villagers had a day's heart to return to their stomachs.

Unexpectedly, that night, the dull sound of the bell came again, and the sound made people shudder.

Unlike last night, in addition to the bells, the domestic animals in a dozen nearby villages called almost all night, and the barking of dogs and cats alone was barely acceptable, but even chickens, ducks and other domestic animals did not stop this night.

Anyone who has lived in the village knows that chickens sleep when it gets dark, and they have almost no night vision, and even the old man who has lived to be seventy or eighty years old has never encountered such a strange thing.

Something even stranger spread through the streets the next morning.

That night, there were more than a dozen villagers in each village were bitten by their own dogs and cats, some of them were quite seriously injured, this time the villagers were dumbfounded, someone mentioned the words of the old blind man again, this time I didn't dare to believe it, so each village scraped together some money, bought a large number of burning paper and sacrifices, first held a grand ceremony by the Yellow River, and then let a few strong men carry the ancient bell and sink to the middle of the Yellow River in a boat.

That night, most of them didn't dare to sleep, they all pricked up their ears and listened carefully to the movements around them, the dull bell did not ring again, and all the dogs and cats did not bark again.

Later, the Shengli Bridge was successfully built, and everyone tacitly chose to remain silent, and almost no one mentioned it again.

After Yao Liguo finished speaking, he smiled embarrassedly: "Director Liu, this kind of superstitious thing shouldn't be told to you!" I think there must be more oil and vinegar in it, and there are a lot of apocryphal ingredients. ”

Liu Liwei responded with a smile.

"That's right, Xiao Wu! Aren't you studying the folk culture of the Yellow River? Can't tell the origin of this bronze statue? ”

Liu Liwei turned around and asked Wu Jinghan.

In fact, in the ten minutes that Yao Liguo talked about the "bronze bell", Wu Jinghan's eyes almost never left the ancient clock in the warehouse.

"I can't say this either...... You look at her shape, the upper body is a human, the lower body is a snake, don't you think it's a little familiar?" Wu Jinghan pointed to the bronze statue and added, "What I mean, you haven't heard of this kind of shape?" ”

In fact, the first time I saw the bronze statue, I had a special feeling, this type of bronze statue must be the first time I have seen it, but there is always a vague sense of familiarity. At this time, as soon as she reminded me, it suddenly dawned on me.

"Nuwa! Much like the legendary Nuwa! I replied casually.

Tian Zhen and Yu Jin also muttered: "The Nuwa who made people out of mud? That's right! I remember that there was an illustration in the junior high school history textbook, could it be that this is the idol of Nuwa?"

"Nuwa Niangniang won't look like this, will she?"

Wu Jinghan continued to explain: "In fact, in addition to Nuwa, there is also a half-human and half-snake god in historical legends. ”

Han Jianjian scratched his head and asked, "Who!" ”

"Fuxi!"

When I was in high school, there was a time when I was obsessed with the mystical culture of ancient human beings, especially to understand the primitive tribe period before the Xia and Shang periods, and I read a lot of books during that time.

The so-called "Three Emperors and Five Emperors" all lived in ancient times a thousand years before the invention of writing, and their deeds were first passed down by word of mouth to the Xia and Shang periods, and then some literati compiled them into books to this day, and their authenticity is very doubtful.

As for who the three emperors and five emperors are, in fact, there are different statements, the three emperors in the original sense refer to the three ancient emperors (the emperor's clan, the emperor's clan, the emperor's clan, and the emperor's clan), and later added Fu Xi and others as the three emperors. The Five Emperors in the original sense refer to the ancient five gods (Lingwei Yang of the Eastern Green Emperor, Red Emperor Chi Fuu of the South, Yellow Emperor Han Hub of the Central Empire, White Emperor Bai Zhaofu of the West, and Black Emperor Juice Xianji of the North), and later added five ancient tribal leaders such as Xuanyuan and Shennong as the Five Emperors.

According to legend, Fuxi and Nuwa are both "freaks" with a human upper body and a snake on the lower body.

Fuxi's mother, Hua Xu, inadvertently saw a big footprint in the swamp, in curiosity, she stepped on one of her feet, and immediately felt a feeling of being entangled in a hundred snakes, and then became pregnant, this pregnancy is twelve years, and then gave birth to a child whose upper body is a human and the lower body is a snake, this is Fuxi.

Fuxi is known as the ancestor of humanity, and invented traditional Chinese medicine, the most shocking thing is that it is said that after he married his sister Nuwa, he gave birth to four boys and four girls, all of whom were great gods in ancient times.

"You mean to say that this is a bronze statue of Fuxi?" Liu Liwei asked softly.

Wu Jinghan replied slowly: "I'm just guessing, I have to wait for my teacher to take a look to be sure." ”

After that, we talked about the age of the bronze statue casting, and the reason why Wu Jinghan stared at it for more than ten minutes just now was because he couldn't tell the era of the bronze statue casting.

Conservatively said so far, can not determine the time of the invention of the bronze casting industry, with the current archaeological discoveries, as early as 5,000 years ago, there are bronzes unearthed, it is said that after the success of Yu water control, had cast Jiuding, and bronze prevailed in the Shang and Zhou dynasties.

"Such a huge bronze, although it is not comparable to Simu Wuding in terms of volume and weight, but if you look carefully at the casting techniques and carving techniques, it is much higher than Simu Wuding." Wu Jinghan paused for a moment, and then continued, "Simu Wuding is from the Shang Dynasty, so it is speculated that the casting time of this bronze statue should also be from the middle of the Shang Dynasty to the early Zhou Dynasty, but ...... But ......"

"But what?" Yao Liguo hurriedly asked.

"But judging by the degree of oxidation and corrosion on the surface of this bronze, it seems to be even earlier than this era...... I'm also confused, so I'd better wait for my teacher to come and let him judge! ”

I don't know the history of bronze casting, and I can't tell which era this bronze statue came from, but anyway, I always feel that there is a reason why so many bronzes suddenly appeared after a heavy rain, right? Thinking of what the owner of the fast food restaurant said at noon, it can be concluded that whether it is the bronze bell twenty-five years ago, the bronze utensils picked up by the villagers on the river beach two days ago, and of course, the bronze statue in front of them, they are all evil and can kill!

"Huh? Look! The bronze statue's eyes seemed to blink! ”

A few of us had been standing outside the door of the warehouse where the bronze statue was placed talking, and we didn't notice that Han Jianli was standing in front of the bronze statue and staring into its eyes.
