Friends who are bookworms can take a look at this. "The Classic of Mountains and Seas is a Record" is the one I'm following. Tell me a few points and you can decide for yourself whether it suits your taste. The protagonist is a young man from the Archaeological Institute who has been digging in the Yin Ruins for eight years. He is not a member of the Dragon Team, has no system, and has no golden fingers. He is just an ordinary person, with three bald hands and nails that cannot be washed away. One day he dug a section of black pipe at the bottom of the exploration site. It was something from more than 5,000 years ago. The pipe wall was engraved with threads, and its precision was not inferior to parts machined by modern lathes. He unscrewed it. A roll of silk slipped out of the tube, with a painting of Lingyu - a fish with a human face and a fish body, holding a slip in both hands, leaning out from the black waves, with its eyes looking out of the painting. Like waiting for someone. Wait for the person who unscrews this clarinet in five thousand years. He dug down and found an underground palace. The entire wall is covered with characters, densely packed vertically, and engraved with the full text of "The Great Wilderness East Classic". It's not the abridged version we read today - the handed down version only recorded 23 characters, and the underground original text alone contains more than 400 characters. Not a myth. It's a military file. Domestication methods, feeding cycles, body size growth data, out-of-control cases, and final conclusions. At the end, there is a summary: Those who use beasts as soldiers will eventually be eaten by beasts. It's not "can't do", it's "can't forget". The person who wrote this sentence knew that more than one generation before him had fallen into this trap. The writing style of this book is rather cold. There is no surprise, no forced reversal, no "biggest terror". It was just an ordinary person, using a flashlight to illuminate the words underground, reading them quietly, and then found that he was standing on the edge of a huge secret. That feeling is not a surge of adrenaline, but a slow chill down your spine. The chill goes up from the soles of your feet. By the time it reaches the back of your head, you have turned dozens of pages and can't stop. The world view is very solid. Dayu controlled the floods not by manpower, but by domesticated animals. Zhulong is a strategic-level artificial life created in ancient times. After it developed self-awareness, it asked its creator "When will I be free?" The emperor couldn't answer, so he sealed it under Zhongshan Mountain for five thousand years, and it still moans to this day. All alien beast genes point to the same starting point - something called "source". The "source" is not the Creator, the "source" is a door. Ancient civilization used three lines of defense to seal it, not because they were afraid of people from outside getting in, but because they were afraid of things inside coming out. I also like the setting of the Jane Keeper. It's either a mysterious organization or five families. Starting from Dayu's generation, they guarded the five underground palaces for more than five thousand years. There is a set of multilateral security treaties with five families checking and balancing each other, one of which is the protagonist's family. Before his death, his grandfather buried the black pipe that his great-great-grandfather took out of the underground palace under the old locust tree, and waited for these years for the protagonist to dig it out. There was no destiny, no bloodline awakening, just happened to be there, happened to not leave, happened to squat down and dig an extra shovel that night. The writing is very dry, not sensational, not rhetorical, and has almost no adjectives. But this kind of dryness has power. The protagonist ate a damp biscuit and threw the bag instead of throwing it into the trash can. He watched it roll around the table leg and was too lazy to pick it up. My legs were numb after squatting in Tanfang for a long time, so I shifted my weight from my left foot to my right foot. These idle notes make the whole story not like an online article, but like a person's work notes. You get the feeling that these things really happened and that he just wrote them down. The rhythm is not tight throughout, with ups and downs and gaps. In the previous chapter, ancient writings were found on the entire wall underground, and in the next chapter, they were squatting in the yard and rubbing locust tree leaves. This kind of relaxation gives the story a sense of breathing and makes it not tiring to read. If you like archaeological suspense and fiction based on real documents, you can give it a try.
