On the seventh day after Xu Zhaoting's death, Shen Yan received a relic.
A page of rubbings from Qingqiu fragments that read "Don't read Kunlun", a bronze sign that generates heat, and a numbered card pointing to the restoration room of the Provincial Museum.
That night, there was a power outage in the Provincial Museum Restoration Room. A fragment of the "Book of Mountains and Seas" sealed in a thermostatic cabinet cast nine cold blue tail lights on the wall.
Three years ago, Shen Yan once said that there was something underneath the Nine-Tails layer.
At that time, Lin Xinglan, a provincial restoration engineer, thought it was just damage.
Three years later, the nine-tailed figure moved on its own.
Shen Yan finally realized that the nine-tailed fox written by the ancients might never have been a fox, but nine moving warning lights.
Nuwa's patching up of the sky may not be a goddess patching up the sky, but the memory of a project to repair the sky after a disaster.
Hou Yi's shooting of the sun may not be a hero shooting the sun, but turning off nine out-of-control ancient light sources.
Qingqiu, Zhaoyao, Kunlun, Queen Mother of the West... The names that were regarded as myths by later generations may be a set of survival records that were misunderstood by the ancients.
But when Shen Yan and Lin Xinglan understood the first clue, the Ashes Foundation also came to the door.
They deleted records, transferred antiquities, and sealed old cases, just to prevent the Classic of Mountains and Seas from being re-understood.
Under the provincial capital, the star map that had been sleeping for twenty years was waking up little by little.
