Chapter 306 Another inheritor of ancient Shu civilization

"Of course it's me, who else could it be?"

But I saw a dark shadow flashing from outside the window to the bed.

It was Third Senior Sister Yinpan who was dressed entirely in black and wearing a black mask, with only a pair of big watery eyes exposed.

"Uh...why did you follow me here?" Jiang Zhonglou was speechless.

"Nonsense, my duty is to protect you after dark. Wherever you go, I will follow you!"

The third senior sister grabbed Jiang Zhonglou's ear and said, "What? I have worked so hard to protect you, but you still find me annoying?"

"Of course not, of course not!"

Jiang Zhonglou quickly covered his ears.

He found that the sky outside the window was indeed dark.

Today's bidding meeting lasted from morning to afternoon. It was already very late after the banquet just now. Jiang Zhonglou and Yu Nie chatted for a while, and it got dark...

"Hmph! You spend the whole day either hanging around your little wife or playing games with Bai Zhi. You never think about us senior sisters!"

Yinpan let go of Jiang Zhonglou's ears angrily, opened the wine cabinet in Yu Nie's bedroom with ease, took out a bottle of expensive red wine, and poured three glasses.

Yu Nie got up, rang the bell and asked Manjing to bring some midnight snacks. The three siblings sat at the coffee table in the bedroom, drinking and chatting.

"Yinpan said, you have been playing that game these days. Have you discovered anything?" Yu Nie shook the wine glass.

"Yes, I found that there are a lot of Sanxingdui cultural elements in the game "Moxiang"..."

Jiang Zhonglou said: "For example, in a copy of "The Tomb of Ink", there are many sarcophagi hanging on the cliff, which are very similar to the sarcophagi invented when Cancong, the first king of Shu in ancient Shu, died...

In another copy of "Shangxian Temple", there is a temple whose shape is exactly the same as the bronze longitudinal mask unearthed in Sanxingdui...

There is also a bronze tree in the temple, which is similar to the bronze tree unearthed in Sanxingdui...

It can be seen that the game designer of "Moxiang" believes that the Mohist family and the ancient Shu Kingdom have a very mysterious connection..."

Jiang Chonglou then carefully explained to Yu Nie and Yinpan the things about the ancient Shu Kingdom in "Mo Xiang".

"The ancient Shu Kingdom..." Yu Nie pondered for a while and then asked Jiang Zhonglou: "Do you have any analysis or speculation?"

"I checked a lot of information about the ancient Shu Kingdom on the Internet and found a lot of mysterious legends. I also read a lot of records about the ancient Shu Kingdom in the history books of the Central Plains Dynasty..."

Jiang Zhonglou frowned: "Based on the timeline, I have a bold guess..."

"What guess?"

"I guess the Mohist doctrines and thoughts, including Mozi's incredible high technologies, all come from the ancient Shu civilization!"

Jiang Chonglou explained: "Looking at the timeline, at the end of the Shang Dynasty and the beginning of the Zhou Dynasty, King Du Yu of Shu sent troops to follow King Wu to defeat Zhou. He was the most powerful among the eight hundred princes. It can be seen that the ancient Shu country at that time was still extremely powerful.

...

More than two hundred years later, King Ping moved eastward, and history entered the Spring and Autumn Period...

More than two hundred years later, Mozi suddenly appeared...

Mozi mastered technologies and ideas that were impossible for the Central Plains civilization to master at that time. The only reasonable explanation is that he was not a member of the Central Plains dynasty, but an outsider!

Mozi most likely came from the closed Shu Kingdom, and the incredible technological civilization he mastered came from the mysterious ancient Shu Kingdom!

Mozi founded the Mohist school and established a vigorous Mohist guild. At its peak, it and Confucianism were both known as the two major schools of the time, and they had the momentum to unify the country...

Unfortunately, after Mozi's death, the Mohist family fell into pieces, vanished into thin air, and mysteriously disappeared...

The Shu Kingdom was also destroyed by the Qin Kingdom shortly after Mozi's death. From then on, it became the granary of the Qin Kingdom and completely lost its own unique civilization...

It can be seen that in Mozi's time, the Shu Kingdom had completely lost the mysterious power it obtained from sacrifices. Otherwise, how could it be destroyed by the Qin Kingdom?

Obviously, during the five or six hundred years between Du Yu's time and Mozi's time, the Kingdom of Shu experienced huge changes and suffered heavy losses, which probably destroyed their civilization and lost that mysterious power...

This can also be supported by the cultural relics unearthed in Sanxingdui...

The sacrificial bronze vessels in Sanxingdui were all burned and smashed before being buried...

So I guess that Mozi's family was probably the priests who mastered the mysterious civilization of Shu. When Shu suffered a great disaster, they quietly fled to the Central Plains and passed on the mysterious civilization of ancient Shu...

Therefore, it was possible for Mozi to master those incredible technologies and ideas!"

Jiang Zhonglou told Yu Nie and Yinpan his speculation.

Yinpan was not interested in these things and swung the wine glass around in boredom, drinking her red wine and eating midnight snacks.

However, Yu Nie frowned and said thoughtfully: "Your analysis is very reasonable. The Moh family... is very likely to be in the same vein as the civilization of ancient Shu!

The character Mo looks like a person with exaggerated eyes, standing on an earthen platform. Isn't it the sacrifice of the ancient Shu Kingdom wearing a bronze mask with vertical eyes?"

"What?"

Jiang Zhonglou was surprised.

He had never thought that the word "Mo" itself was like an ancient Shu sacrifice standing on a sacrificial platform wearing a bronze mask!

"Not only that, the shape of the ink characters resembles a fish or insect with big eyes, which may be related to the ancient Shu king Cancong Yufu!" Yu Nie added.

"I'm going...really?"

Jiang Zhonglou quickly took out his mobile phone and searched for the seal script and bronze inscriptions of the word "mo".

He was surprised to find that what the senior sister said was absolutely correct!

The seal character of "Mo" really looks like a person with exaggerated eyes and radiant body, standing on an earthen platform...

The Chinese character "Mo" in Chinese characters is a fish or insect with huge eyes...

Even the word "ink" in oracle bone inscriptions has exaggerated eyes in the shape of fish and insects...

"Sister, I didn't expect that your research on ancient characters is even better than mine!"

Jiang Zhonglou couldn't help but sigh.

He imitated antiques with his master and learned a lot of ancient calligraphy, but he didn't even know that the Chinese character "Mo" in Chinese characters was a fish or insect with big eyes...

"Nonsense, if I don't have this ability, how can I be your senior sister?" Yu Nie said with a smile.

"It seems that the Mohist family established by Mozi is indeed closely related to the ancient Shu Kingdom, and it is very likely that it has inherited the mysterious civilization of the ancient Shu Kingdom!" Jiang Chonglou sighed.

"Actually, after listening to your words just now, I remembered another person. He was from the same period as Mozi. He is probably the inheritor of the ancient Shu civilization like Mozi!"

Yu Nie continued to think.

"What? A contemporary of Mozi? Who is it?"

Jiang Zhonglou asked curiously.
