Huang Miao's Chapter

A huge bronze rust-colored monster shimmered in the sunlight, and I stopped on my feet not far from the library.

The building on the left in front of me is a modern library, and on the right is a box that seems to have been handed down from a long, long time ago, red and black, it is the city museum, and there is a huge poster on the periphery of the museum, on which the huge monster suddenly protrudes into the round eyes, I take a deep breath to suppress myself, I can't take my eyes off the poster, I gradually walk in the direction of the museum, and throw myself into the giant box.

I was standing on the perimeter of the iron fence, and the huge exhibition poster looked like a whirlpool trying to suck me in.

It seemed to be a dark black background, but there were swirls and light and shadows rising and falling, and the bronze rust-colored monster turned out to be just a face and a copper mask. The mask is curved and convex, the round eyes are abnormally protruding, very spirited, the eyebrows are raised, the two corners are rolled up, the forehead and nose are connected and convex, and the grinning is grinning.

Feelings of restlessness and melancholy begin to blend.

"Precious Cultural Relics of Panlong City Unveiled in "Bronze Dialogue: Bronze Civilization Exhibition of the Shang Dynasty in the Yellow River and Yangtze River Basin", I read the gilt gold text in the lower right corner, the color and shape are old, and it seems to be submerged in this empty black background.

"Slimy, slimy!" A loud and bright voice, like a Peking opera-like rhythmic timbre, sounded behind me, and I adjusted my breathing, trying to suppress my panic, my fists clenched, and there was a gurgling sound of bones. I turned my head and looked at the stars as they strode towards me, brisk and smiling.

"I knew you liked these!" The star grinned and pointed to the huge bronze mask, and the afternoon sun was so intense that I felt dizzy, "Wow, this mask is so cool when it's enlarged!" Come on, come on, take a picture for me! "Xingxing shoved my phone into my hand and ran like a monster grinning wide, and I instinctively wanted to stop, but it choked in my throat.

Xingxing crouched down slightly, trying to make himself appear to be devoured by the monster, and hugged himself with both hands, deliberately pretending to be scared on his face, "Remember to align the angle!" Get me stuck in its mouth! ”

I swallowed, only a faint "good" word. The monster on the camera screen was shrunk, but it still made me panic.

Click, click, click, I finished the shoot as best I could. Thinking about leaving quickly, I don't want to have the same emotional breakdown as before.

"Miao, let's go to the museum and see this exhibition! You'll love it all! The star ran over and tried to pull me in, I instinctively wanted to resist, but she grabbed my hand.

"Didn't you say you were going to the library?" I'm trying to find an excuse to shirk it.

"The library will not run away, these exhibits are exhibited on a tour between cities, and there is no boat to take after Suzhou!" Xing Xing looked excited, "I've seen some introductions, the ruins of Panlong City are the most luxurious city in the south of the Shang Dynasty, and the ruins of the four city walls are still there!" Not only bronze utensils were unearthed inside, but also a lot of civilian life utensils! There are also some ruins around the city, which reflect the ironmaking, handicrafts, and commerce on the side! The description of the star caught my attention, I was instinctively attracted, and there was a sly smile on the corner of the star's mouth, "But ah, I've got an axe, you must know this better than me!" Isn't it? ”

I raised my eyes to the stars and sighed helplessly, she deliberately asked me to come here, "Panlong City is the site of an early Shang Dynasty city with the clearest known layout and the richest relics in the Yangtze River Basin, with a history of 3,500 years, and it is the central city of the southern soil of the Shang Dynasty..."

"Slim." The stars are cautious.

"Xingxing, I've graduated, that internship is over, and I don't want to touch everything related to archaeology anymore. It's over. I tried to be as calm as I could, afraid that my emotions would explode.

"Miao, what are you now? Are you going to work the night shift at that convenience store all the time? So why do you work so hard to learn this? I know you've spent all your time on it, that's why you're so good, that's why the project chose you, it's a whole new country, and you told me that, that looming country! There seems to be no record of its existence in historical documents, and you have to dig up evidence for its existence, you were so high-spirited! ”

"Don't talk about it." I responded as calmly as I could.

"You're just sick, maybe you haven't had entertainment for too long, you've been studying and depressed, you'll be fine if you take medicine, there's no need to give up on your future!" The stars are all anxious in their eyes.

"Xingxing, don't say it, I ....." wanted to say something, but closed his mouth again.

I love these artifacts very much, and I also like to explore the stories that happened in history, but I don't know how to express these strong and crazy feelings, to get close to those artifacts, and those artifacts are like, as if there are thousands of tons of emotions and stories sweeping towards me, swallowing me.

During the excavation of that project, I seemed to become a little figure of some bronze candlestick, the flickering candle flame conveyed warmth, I saw the singing and dancing women tiptoe to dance for a king, and then the speed increased, and I became a bronze monster with wings like a lion, and the fast-forward picture kept advancing, and I became a bronze fawn, and there was a sharp pain in my body, and the bronze water rhinoceros bit me tightly. The tragedy, the prosperity of the country, the prosperity and decline, the war is sad, I don't know how many things have accumulated in my body, my mind is full of fantasies, or delusions, or everything is real.

The doctor only diagnosed 'depression'.

If I am sick, then these artifacts are the 'cause', and if I am not sick, then everything I see is real.

And I know that it is true, that all the images, the bronze vessels, have been excavated, and the name of a king has been sung all the time, and I am absolutely sure that I have not learned of it in any of the textbooks and materials, and I believe that no one in this world has ever known it, because it is inscribed on the bronze tripod in the ground.

The complete inscription describes a short-lived dynasty, briefly splendid, but only a sad song. Everyone around me was reveling in these discoveries, and I felt like I was being conclusively proven, I wasn't sick, and everything I saw was real.

I remembered the feeling, or rather my body was beginning to repeat it, and I looked at the box-like museum, where something triggered my instincts, and my sanity resisted. But the unknown story over there exudes a strange power strongly.

"Anyway, let's go first! Maybe it's okay already! "To put it mildly, 95 percent of the world's worries don't happen!" ”

I nodded, not so much that I was soothed by the chicken soup of the stars, but that my sanity had been suppressed by my body's instincts, and I threw myself into the box as if I were enchanted.

The lobby on the first floor is still crowded, and the special shop selling souvenirs is also full of tourists with smiles on their faces.

Turn up the spacious wooden staircase on the second floor, the staircase has a small inclination angle, almost flat on the ground, there are children chasing, parents are reprimanding. When I got to the third floor, there was no one else in sight, I stood at the top of the stairs, looking to the right, where the monster poster loomed, and I instinctively walked that way. A poster is displayed by the high doorway of an exhibition hall, and yellow spotlights focus on the hideous face.

Looking inside the door, there is a dimly lit corridor, the usual color of the museum, with only a faint light.

We walked into the corridor, the eyes instantly darkened, we walked forward, entered a small exhibition hall, the exhibition hall was still dimly lit, different exhibits were placed under the spotlights, delicately presented, the stars ran forward excitedly, one by one watching, chattering as if to say something, I couldn't hear clearly, I followed the sign to the next exhibition hall, and entered a long corridor, the light was darker than before. My heart began to beat faster, my breathing echoed through the hallway, my eyes stared blankly ahead, and there were two bright spots of light in front of me, like beasts lurking in the darkness, staring at each other, but I approached relentlessly. Entering the exhibition hall, the bronze mask is placed in the center of the exhibition hall, which seems to be an illusion just now, and now the yellow spotlight shines directly on the bronze mask, and the mask is protected by tempered glass.

I looked around the room, it was pitch black, there were no exhibits, or no lights? I didn't know it, but I felt something surround me, and the encirclement seemed to be constricting, and the muttering of small and vague words was like a spell, and the voice was gradually getting closer to me.

I stood still, looking around, not knowing where to look, it was dark in every direction, and there was a murmur in every direction, and the departure when I had just come was gone, hidden in the darkness.

The bronze mask of the display table, the round and convex eyes lit up with a strange blue light, I looked at it in a daze, my body began to stiffen, the cold wind began to sweep, whirring, regular footsteps appeared around me, I began to tremble, I closed my eyes and shook my head vigorously, but the murmur suddenly doubled the boom, suddenly opened my eyes, several strange people surrounded me, dancing strange dances around me, wearing a wide robe, holding a bronze mask in my right hand to cover my face, and my left hand was dancing with my body, and there were words in my mouth.

I couldn't move my whole body, I could only watch it all swallow me, tearing and tearing, and this sound rose in the darkness, and when I was confused, orange flames gradually rose in the dark encirclement, and the flames gradually became fierce, and the energy of the high temperature was about to melt me.

The flames were approaching, and the dancing masked man picked up speed and danced around me, watching everything to destroy me, but his feet were nailed to the floor.

Jingle Bell ~ Ding Ding Dong ~ Ding Ding Dong ~ The bells of different styles suddenly rang, the world around me stood still for a moment, the masked people dancing around, the dancing flames, all froze, my pockets vibrated long, I found that my hands could move, although it was too cold to move, I clenched my fists hard, trying to release my hands from the confinement. Everything around me was still and there was no sound except my breathing. I stared at everything around me and cautiously took out my phone, the phone screen was on, it was a snowy night, Santa Claus was shaking with a bell in his hand, jingle ~ jingle dong ~

There's a Christmas sock button underneath that says "KERORO" and the socks are shaking!
