In ancient times, humans were very superstitious. They believed that all magical natural forces were created by gods.
People at that time saw birds rising and the sun rising, and birds resting and setting. They believed that birds carried the sun up to the sky at sunrise, and birds carried the sun back to the sea at sunset.
One poem also writes: The golden crow first flies from the bottom of the sea, and the red glow scatters and the green cloud blooms.
Over time, the Golden Crow became the representative of the sun!
"This should be a country with the sun as its totem, because this sun bird ring was offered to God in sacrifices." There was a hint of excitement on Lao Jiang's face.
"But……"
Looking at the sun bird ring, I hesitated to speak.
"Just say whatever comes to mind!" Lao Jiangshou continued.
I swallowed before speaking: "At present, we can already judge that these jades unearthed were between the Shang Dynasty and the Zhou Dynasty. But as far as I know, no tribe at that time believed in the sun, and at that time, the Shang Dynasty What the king admires is: The destiny black bird descends to give birth to Shang! How can they allow other tribes to believe in something other than the black bird? This is simply disobedience!
Lao Jiang seemed to have anticipated my thoughts and said, "That's why Professor Xiang Wanli and the others said that this is an unknown civilization."
I couldn't help scratching the back of my head, and then I had to tell Lao Jiang exactly what I had discovered in the past few days in the dormitory.
The clues we have now are the Shang and Zhou dynasties, the Xichuan area, the sun totem, the three-legged golden crow and the bronze mask...
But I still firmly believe that no country can quietly appear and disappear quietly under the nose of history.
Even if they are not in the official history, there must be traces of them in the unofficial history of five thousand years!
Suddenly, Lao Jiang's eyes were startled, and he asked me with a strange expression, have you ever heard of a poem: "Amidst the silkworms and fishtails, how confused was the founding of the country? You are eight thousand years old in the west, and you are not in the same vicinity as Qin Sai. ”
"This is Li Bai's "The Road to Shu Is Difficult"!" I said quickly: "It talks about two kings, Cancong and Yufu, who established the oldest kingdom of Shu, but we don't know when they were founded and when they appeared. , after eight thousand years, it has not had any contact with the outside world. "
"Li Bai always likes to exaggerate when writing poems. He often has white hair of three thousand feet and a body of eight thousand years old... Who can prove that Cancong and Yufu are not fictional mythical characters? Who can prove that they really created the ancient Shu Kingdom? "
Lao Jiang pointed at the sun bird ring, but his eyes revealed an indescribable excitement: "What if this is the first batch of evidence?"
"What if there is a second and third batch of evidence hidden in Guanghan County that we don't know about?"
I have to say that Lao Jiang’s words are often very reasonable. Being reminded like this by him, I couldn't help but get a little excited.
Since ancient times, very few people have established a kingdom in Shu, and there are even fewer traces of them during the Shang and Zhou dynasties.
At the moment, Lao Jiangbing and I split up. I was responsible for tracking down all relevant clues in Qilin's archives, while Lao Jiang went to find Xiang Wanli and Mr. Xu.
At that time we just wanted to test the waters.
But I never expected that there would actually be a lost kingdom, and as this sun bird ring slowly surfaced!
"By the way, wait!"
Lao Jiang suddenly called me from behind.
He caught up and thrust a mysterious badge into my hand. The badge was completely black and was actually a unicorn carved from a single piece of ink jade. The unicorn roared with its neck drawn and its west paw soared into the clouds, as if it was alive. .
Could this be it?
Before I could ask, Lao Jiang said: "If there are no clues you need in the archives on the second floor, go to the confidential archives on the west floor! If mortals stop you, show them this badge."
My guess is right, this is the badge of the legendary Black Sword Qilin!
For Qilin, the badge is proof of identity: if the badge is there, the person will be there, but if the badge is lost, the person will die.
Lao Jiang was actually willing to lend it to me, which showed his 100%25 trust in me.
I held it in my hand as if I had found a treasure, as if I had become a majestic black sword Qilin.
"Master!" This was the first time I called Lao Jiang so moved.
"Save it." Lao Jiang didn't have time to listen to my heartfelt confession. He just patted me on the shoulder and said: "Little bastard, I know you want to go to the west building to see what the files above S level are like. Like this...this is your best chance to find the ancient Shu Kingdom and tell me the good news!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he hurried out of the door.
I spread my hands carefully, knowing in my heart that this was Lao Jiang invisibly training me.
But after all, this was the first time I saw the badge of the Black Saber Kirin, and I couldn’t help but take a few more glances!
But I saw that the carving of the black unicorn on the badge far exceeded that of the shabby silver unicorn on my body. And on the back of the black unicorn, there are actually lines of gold, as if this war-god unicorn had just broken out of the darkness and was bathed in light.
The abbreviation is: mighty, domineering, enviable to others.
I don’t know when I will get my own black unicorn badge?
While thinking about it, my feet have already reached the archives room on the second floor.
When Lao Xia first saw that I was here, he asked where he had been during this time.
I didn't have time to chat, so I got straight to the point: "I need unofficial histories of the Shang and Zhou dynasties, the more the better, and fast!"
Old Xia Tou immediately understood that I was on a mission, pointed his hand inward and said: "Go inward, and the penultimate row of cabinets will contain all the cabinets you are looking for..."
I said thank you and rushed to my destination like the wind.
The bookcase is two to three meters high, and the books are arranged according to serial numbers. They are so densely packed that you don't know when you will see them.
But I had no choice but to bite the bullet and start reading from the first book!
While I was flipping through ancient books, Dahu also followed behind me. From time to time, a furry head poked out from the left side, and he peeked out from the middle of the bookcase and grinned, becoming more naughty than before.
I quickly started reading from the first page. I don't know if it was because of "Thirty-six Techniques for Moving Mountains and Reclaiming Seas", but I actually developed the ability to read ten lines with one glance.
A brick-thick book flipped through my hands, and once I ran out of clues I needed, I threw it aside.
In less than an hour, the books behind me had piled up into a small mountain. This was very painful for Old Xia Tou. He was holding a big teapot and his glasses were about to fall off: "Oh my God, what will happen to me later?" Clean it up? Li Jinglan, Li Jinglan, your cat is difficult to deal with, your zongzi is also difficult to deal with, and you are even more difficult to deal with!"
He kept cursing, but he had to rearrange it according to the book number.
"slow!"
I suddenly spoke up, interrupting him.
Old Xia Tou also seemed to know that I must have found something crucial, and he didn't dare to move for a while.
