Origin

Those who study archeology must not only understand history, but also learn geography well. When Wu Zhongyuan mentioned Guanghan, Sichuan, Wu Zhongyuan immediately thought of the Sanxingdui ruins.

Wang Xinran nodded, "Yes, we also suspect that they are heading for Sanxingdui when they appear there."

"The Sanxingdui Civilization originated around 3,000 BC, disappeared around 1,200 BC, and lasted for nearly two thousand years," Wu Zhongyuan recalled and analyzed. "According to chronological calculations, the first six warriors may have interacted with the Sanxingdui Civilization."

"It makes sense." Wang Xinran took out his mobile phone and scrolled through it. "The first warrior should have appeared in 3027 BC, and the specific time when the sixth warrior appeared should be 1227 BC. The age when these six people appeared is indeed the same. The Sanxingdui civilization overlaps in time."

"Do you know which warrior they are heading for?" Wu Zhongyuan asked.

Wang Xinran shook his head, "I don't have a clue. Now we can't even confirm whether they are heading for Sanxingdui. We are just suspicious."

"That place is quite remote. If they weren't going to Sanxingdui, they had no reason to go to Guanghan." Wu Zhongyuan said.

"How much do you know about Sanxingdui civilization?" Wang Xinran asked.

“Not much, but not much,” Wu Zhongyuan said. “The birthplace of Chinese civilization is the Yellow River Basin, and the birthplace of Sanxingdui Civilization is the Yangtze River Basin. The emergence and development of these two civilizations are relatively independent, and there was almost no intersection in the early stage. , these two civilizations coexisted for a long time. Later, the Sanxingdui civilization disappeared, leaving only the Chinese civilization. Regarding this, the academic community has two completely different views. One is that the Chinese civilization and the Sanxingdui civilization came into being. Contact. Once two independent civilizations come into contact, the weak one is likely to be annexed. Therefore, some people believe that the Sanxingdui civilization was wiped out by the Chinese civilization. Some other scholars believe that the Sanxingdui civilization died out on its own, not by the Chinese civilization. There are many people who hold this view that civilizations are extinct. Their judgment is based on the fact that any civilization will be more or less assimilated by other civilizations while annexing other civilizations. However, according to archaeological research, Chinese civilization did not There is no trace of the Sanxingdui civilization."

"Which of these two views do you prefer?" Wang Xinran asked.

Wu Zhongyuan thought for a moment, "I personally feel that the first option is more likely."

"What's the reason?" Wang Xinran poured a glass of water for Wu Zhongyuan. Seeing that he was unable to raise his hand, he simply fed him a drink.

Wu Zhongyuan stopped drinking after only one sip. "The reason is that after the demise of the Sanxingdui civilization, the Yangtze River Basin was also occupied by the Chinese civilization. Also, the Sanxingdui civilization is a very mature civilization. Unless it is invaded by foreign enemies, this type of civilization will not be able to survive." It is difficult to die on its own, even if it changes, it is at most a change of dynasty.

rather than disappearing completely. "

"Then how do you explain that there is no trace of Sanxingdui civilization in Chinese civilization?" Wang Xinran asked.

Wu Zhongyuan thought for a while and said, "There is no reasonable explanation, only two speculations. One is that the Chinese civilization attacked the Sanxingdui civilization not to annex it, but to destroy it and completely destroy it. The second guess is that the Chinese civilization is just like the The Mongol army has reached Moscow and Poland, but their occupation was very short and they came and went quickly, so they were not assimilated."

"It's too early to say this now," Wang Xinran put the water glass on the bedside table, "You need to rest for a while, and I'll go out and buy you something to eat."

Wu Zhongyuan did not refuse.

Half an hour later, Wang Xinran came back and brought back rice porridge. Wu Zhongyuan had not eaten for a long time and his gastrointestinal function had deteriorated. Currently, he could only drink porridge.

Wu Zhongyuan was too weak to hold the porridge bowl, so he had to be fed by Wang Xinran.

"When can I fully recover?" Wu Zhongyuan asked.

"I asked the doctor just now. If you are like this, you can go to the ground in three to five days." Wang Xinran fed Wu Zhongyuan. "You won't have severe muscle atrophy after being in bed for half a year. You feel weak just because you haven't eaten for too long. Very weak."

"How are things going at Poyang Lake?" Wu Zhongyuan asked again.

"What are you referring to?" Wang Xinran asked.

"Have you opened the main tomb chamber?" Wu Zhongyuan asked.

Wang Xinran shook his head, "No, you also know our country's principles for dealing with ancient tombs. Unless it is a rescue excavation, we generally will not take the initiative to dig."

Wu Zhongyuan agreed with the official approach. Zuo Ci was just a Taoist priest, not an emperor. Even if his tomb was opened, it would not be of much archaeological research value.

"We have roughly confirmed the identity of the female warrior who appeared in the Three Kingdoms period." Wang Xinran fed him another spoonful.

"Who is it?" Wu Zhongyuan asked. He originally thought that the identity of this female warrior during the Three Kingdoms period would be lost along with the main tomb chamber, but he never thought that the 18th Precinct would actually confirm this person's identity during the Three Kingdoms period.

Wang Xinran said, "She is a Taoist nun who has no official history. The "The Travels of the Immortals" written by Zuo Ci's apprentice once mentioned that Ling Zhen Yuanjun and Wujiao Zhenren both attained the Great Dao. Zuo Ci practiced Fangzhong Shu, so they guessed Ling Zhen Yuanjun is Zuo Ci's confidante. There are not many records about Ling Zhen Yuanjun in the book. They only say that she has a dignified appearance, a smart mind, and knows magic. She can hurt people by flying flowers and picking leaves."

After Wang Xinran finished speaking, Wu Zhongyuan nodded, "It should be her."

Wang Xinran continued to feed Wu Zhongyuan. She didn't have the pretentiousness of scooping out a spoonful of food and blowing on it. If it really made her mouth burn, Wu Zhongyuan had already said so. But not blowing does not mean that she is not attentive. Her attentiveness is reflected in the control of the rhythm. After Wu Zhongyuan swallows a mouthful and takes a breath, she will feed the next spoonful.

"Have you cracked the mechanism in the seventh stone chamber?" Wu Zhongyuan asked again. Time was tight that day and he had no time to answer two questions, so he could only choose one of the two.

Wang Xinran shook his head, "The stone chamber was completely submerged under water, and the mechanism had already failed. A few days later, we finally found and opened the copper box, only to find that there were only ashes left inside."

Wu Zhongyuan sighed. The reward in the seventh stone chamber was the invisibility illusion, which not only allowed him to become invisible, but also allowed him to change his body. It was a pity that such a good thing was missed.

"If you hadn't been bitten at that time, which one would you have chosen?" Wang Xinran asked.

Wu Zhongyuan thought for a moment, "I would also choose Three Fires and Nine Wheels. Although the invisibility illusion is magical, it is a small skill that can be used alone. Three Fires and Nine Wheels is a great skill in metallurgy and weapon refining. With it, you can not only make weapons for yourself , and can also be used to cast large quantities of weapons to equip the army."

Perhaps considering that Wu Zhongyuan should not eat too much, Wang Xinran didn't bring much rice porridge. After feeding Wu Zhongyuan, Wang Xinran said, "It's getting late. If you feel sleepy, go to bed early."

"I've been sleeping all day and I'm not sleepy." Wu Zhongyuan shook his head, "By the way, are the mandarin turtle and dragon dead?"

"No body has been found," Wang Xinran shook his head, "It must be that he is not dead, otherwise the body would have surfaced long ago."

Wu Zhongyuan did not ask any more questions.

There were two beds in the ward. Wang Xinran was tired, so she tidied up briefly and lay down on the bed closer to the door.

"What did you do with Zhang Kui's people?" Wu Zhongyuan asked again.

"Still in custody," Wang Xinran said, "Don't they like to play conspiracies? Let's satisfy them. Although we don't have any evidence of their crimes, we have many reasons to hold them back."

Wu Zhongyuan was not sleepy, but Wang Xinran was. Her nerves had been tense and her mood was very low for such a long time. Now that he finally woke up, she could finally relax.

In fact, as Wang Xinran said, the main reason why he was so weak was because he was hungry. After eating and sleeping, he could go to the toilet by himself in the morning.

After going to work, the doctor came over, gave him a comprehensive examination, and formulated a rehabilitation plan. To put it bluntly, the so-called rehabilitation plan was to let him move around more and do more activities.

Three days later, Wu Zhongyuan was able to walk normally, but he was not in a hurry to be discharged from the hospital because we had not found any clues about the remaining warriors and had nowhere to go after he was discharged.

Wang Xinran has been paying close attention to the whereabouts of Zhao Ying and others these days. Judging from the movement trajectories of Zhao Ying and others, they are probably looking for something in the wild.

After Wu Zhongyuan moved freely, Wang Xinran took his backpack out of the safe at the headquarters and returned it to him. Wang Xinran did not lie. Indeed, no one had touched his backpack and everything in it was there.

In addition to a change of clothes and spiritual stone rations, he also had a book of Tianzhuan script, a book of Three Fires and Nine Treatises, and a book of Fengxingshu in his backpack. He did not read any one in particular, but read all three books. A rough idea, especially the Tianzhuan Script and the Three Fires and Nine Treatises.

The Tianzhuan Script is the most wonderful book in ancient and modern times. It is all-encompassing and obscure. The Qimen Dunjia is derived from the Tianzhuan Script. The Tianzhuan Script contains the Qimen Dunjia, as well as formations and metallurgy.

The Three Fires and Nine Theory is also difficult to understand. The reason why it is difficult to understand is not because it is so profound, but because it contains a lot of special metallurgical terms. He can't understand what these special terms mean.

On the afternoon of the sixth day, Wang Xinran suddenly sat up from the bed and looked eagerly at Wu Zhongyuan, "They seem to have found what they were looking for."

Wu Zhongyuan knew who Wang Xinran was referring to, "What are they looking for?"

"What else could it be? It must be the entrance to the underground palace," Wang Xinran said. "The situation is urgent and we must make a decision as soon as possible."

"What's your idea?" he asked casually.

"Black Suit and your senior brother are in that area now. I'm wondering whether to arrest them." Wang Xinran tilted his head and looked at Wu Zhongyuan, "What do you think?"

Wu Zhongyuan thought for a while and said, "If you are sure to catch it, then go ahead. They have probably obtained three spiritual stones. If they can get these three spiritual stones, they should be able to open the wormhole."

"Okay." Wang Xinran turned over and got off the ground, "Without further delay, pack up your things and go to Sichuan immediately..."
