Rebirth of the Wild Age

On the third day after the provincial derby between the Xifeng team and the Business Communication team, Song Weiyang took Hu Geng and the game artist to a remote suburb more than 10 kilometers away from the company.

Well, Song Weiyang and Chen Tao went to play, and the others belonged to Caifeng.

More than two months ago, a large amount of ivory, broken jade and bronze wares were suddenly unearthed in Jinsha Village, and archaeologists immediately went to excavate and protect them. Now there are phased results. The cultural relics unearthed at this site are very similar to those at Sanxingdui. But the details are different. The bronze mask at the Sanxingdui site has a bun, while the bronze mask at the Jinsha site has braids.

Experts preliminarily speculate that the ancestors of Sanxingdui did not disappear suddenly, but moved to the vicinity of the Jinsha site, which is the continuation of the Sanxingdui culture. Some experts also believe that there may be internal divisions in the tribe, which led to the migration of some tribes, thus deriving similar but different cultures.

There is even a more absurd inference that the Sanxingdui site and the Jinsha site may have differences in beliefs, and the conflict of beliefs in ancient times is the appearance of conflicts in rights. Sanxingdui is a hair-tie faction, and Jinsha is a braid-tie faction, just like the beggars' dirty clothes faction and the clean clothes faction. The power struggle between the two factions has led to the decline of Sanxingdui civilization.

Anyway, there are no written records left in the two ruins, and there is no way to find clues from the classics, so the rest is all guesswork based on imagination.

But no matter how you guess, the two ruins must have a deep connection, and both belong to the Sanxingdui culture.

This is a large construction site for the development of residential quarters. Song Weiyang came here excitedly, but he was only allowed to stand in the outer area and watch from a distance.

There is not even a toilet at the archaeological site. Director Wang ran to the bushes more than 30 meters away to pee, and came back to greet Song Weiyang with a smile: Boss Song, I have mud on my hands, and I urinated and didn't wash my hands, so I won't shake hands with you. There are a batch of unearthed cultural relics to be packed and transported away. You can take a closer look, but you can't take pictures, let alone interfere with the work of the archaeologists.

Excuse me, Director Wang. Song Weiyang said.

Director Wang joked: I didn't bother you, Boss Song, you're being polite. You donated a lot of purified water, biscuits, and canned food to the archaeological site. It doesn't matter if you just look at it. Our archaeological team made money.

Teacher, something good has come out!

Suddenly a young man shouted, Director Wang didn't have time to say goodbye to Song Weiyang, so he turned around and ran over there quickly.

Naturally, Song Weiyang couldn't disturb other people's work, and took people to watch the packing of the unearthed cultural relics.

Those cultural relics were preliminarily cleaned up. Chen Tao leaned forward and looked at them for a while: It looks like the bronze mask of Sanxingdui. No wonder the newspaper said that 'Sanxingdui No. 2' was found.

Hu Geng said: Some experts speculate that this area may be the legendary 'Piyi'.

Piyi is the capital of the ancient Shu king Du Yu in the history books. As for Du Yu, he is also known as Wangdi, the one who Zhuang Shengxiao dreamed of butterflies, and Wangdi Chunxin entrusted the cuckoo. The first batch of cultural relics at the Jinshan site have been published in the newspaper, causing a sensation across the country, so various experts began to speculate that the nearby area belonged to Piyi, the capital of the ancient Shu Kingdom.

Song Weiyang said with a smile: We can make a high-level map. The main city of this game map is called Piyi. Fox, you and the artist should observe and study carefully, and use your imagination to construct an ancient Shu Kingdom. These elements of the bronze mask are reflected.

It's a huge project, Hu Geng said with a smile, but it's quite interesting, it just takes hard work.

Song Weiyang had a flash of inspiration: The leader of this map is Wangdi Du Yu. Make his mount into a giant panda.

Hu Geng shook his head and said: According to the description in the myths and legends, Wangdi Du Yu should be a character in the Dayu period, and his main achievement was to control the floods in the Shu Kingdom. This conflicts with the timeline of the game. It is better to set the leader as the silkworm Cong, he is not only the incarnation of Shu, but also the founding king of the ancient Shu Kingdom. Although the age is not accurate, it can be said that Can Cong can live for thousands of years. His mount is a giant panda, and his pet is Golden silkworm, this is a good design.

You can figure it out yourself. Song Weiyang smiled.

The map of Ancient Shu Kingdom is similar to the Mystery of Pandaren in World of Warcraft. It is a high-level map that was only released in the middle and late stages.

It was the first time in Song Weiyang's life to visit an archaeological site. Everything he saw was novel, and it was already noon before he knew it.

The lunch was cooked and delivered by the nearby farmers. Director Wang came over with the rice bowl in his hands and said with a smile on his face, Boss Song, you are a nobleman of our archaeological team. We found something good when you came.

What good thing? Song Weiyang asked.

Director Wang said excitedly: A gold ornament, the pattern is the sun god bird, and the four birds negative the sun. The whole ornament is divided into inner and outer layers. According to my preliminary deduction, the four birds should represent the four seasons, and the inner layer with 12 rotating lights represents a year. 12 months, it is very likely that the ancient Shu people have mastered the lunar calendar.

Four birds negative the sun? Hu Geng likes to read fairy tales, and he has various associations in an instant.

Director Wang nodded and said: Judging from the signs of the unearthed cultural relics, the ancestors of the Jinsha site should have worshiped the sun. Two days ago, a bronze statue was unearthed, with 13 ivory-shaped rotating arcs on the crown. Shaped decoration. This is very similar to the pattern of the sun god bird, and it is likely that they all represent the rays of the sun, and the 13 rays of light may be the leap month.

Song Weiyang laughed loudly: You guys can really guess.

Director Wang said helplessly: There is no way, I can't find any written records, so I can only make reasonable guesses.

Hu Geng asked: Can I watch the four birds negative the sun?

Director Wang nodded and said, Yes, it's not a secret, as long as you don't take pictures, I'll take you there.

When seeing the Four Birds Negative Sun Gold Jewelry, everyone couldn't move their eyes away. Its shape has a feeling of looking at a Tai Chi picture, and the more you look at it, the more mysterious it becomes.

Song Weiyang had seen it in his previous life, because the pattern of four birds against the sun defeated all cultural relics in the country, and finally became a symbol of Chinese cultural heritage protection. It can be interpreted in various ways, such as the pursuit of light, unity and forge ahead, harmony and tolerance, and even convey the philosophical thought of the unity of man and nature.

This shape and composition are awesome! said Lu Xiaoyin, chief artist of the Shan Hai Jing game project.

Hu Geng rolled his eyes: Why don't you choose Four Birds Negative Sun as the game icon of Shan Hai Jing?

Lu Xiaoyin immediately said: You can have this! Another calligrapher is invited to make the 'Shan Hai Jing' into an artistic font, and combine it with the four birds and negative sun pictures.

Hu Geng murmured: The Shan Hai Jing·Da Huang Dong Jing does have the saying 'Golden Crow Negates the Sun', but it is in the easternmost Tanggu. As far as the archaeological site is concerned, it should be located in the west of the Great Wilderness. The golden crows are negative, and there are still four golden crows, how should we make up the plot?

Song Weiyang pointed to the gold ornament of the divine sun bird and said: In the Da Huang Dong Jing there is a three-legged Golden Crow. You see that the Golden Crow here has only one leg, so it can be understood as a single-legged Golden Crow. They are all relatives of the Golden Crow family. The one-legged Golden Crow is the guardian beast here, and has various origins with Tanggu's three-legged Golden Crow. As for the origin, you can make it up yourself.

Then I'll think about it again. Hu Geng nodded.

Song Weiyang said: Aren't you going to write a novel? Write it while planning the game, and I will help you publish and promote it, and try to get enough popularity before the game goes live.

Hu Geng said happily: Then I will write it, and it will definitely not delay the progress of the game development. By the way, I also want to add the plot of the ancient Shu Kingdom, which is a hidden race apart from the Five Elements race.

The Sou Shen Ji novel in this time and space may be a little different...
