Golden Sands Return to Hiding

Lin Xi is a cultural relic restorer at the Chengdu Archaeological Research Institute. She is 35 years old and has been repairing cultural relics for eight years, making hundreds of broken artifacts whole again. A small bronze standing figure unearthed from the Jinsha site changed everything. She discovered a set of mysterious carvings on the bottom of the Little Standing Man - a circle, five points, and twelve arcs. Lao Chen, a retired archaeological team member, told her: This symbol was also found on the pedestal of the Sanxingdui Bronze Dali Figure in 1986, but it was deleted from the excavation report. Lao Chen said that Lin Xi's grandfather was not a history professor at Sichuan University, but the last bloodline of ancient Shu priests. Three thousand years ago, the last generation of high priests sealed the power of twelve celestial phenomena in twelve bronze vessels to prevent a great flood that would destroy the Chengdu Plain. Now that the seal is loose, Lin Xi must retrieve the twelve bronze artifacts before the seal completely collapses. Each piece of bronze is sealed with the power of a celestial phenomenon - fog, haze, clouds, rain, frost, snow, ice, hail, rainbow, wind, lightning, thunder. Every use comes with a price: from blurred vision to cardiac arrest, from overlapping memories to lost lifespan. With the help of Yi girl A Zhuo and algorithm engineer Zhou Yuan, Lin Xi pursues, fights and protects all the way from Jinsha to Sanxingdui, from Dujiangyan to Qingcheng Mountain, from underground rivers to snow mountain caves. In the ancient Shu sacrificial ruins underground in Chengdu, she faces the ultimate choice: gathering twelve bronze vessels can awaken the full power of the ancient Shu civilization - should it be awakened, or should it continue to sleep? Her answer is—— "Forget it, it has been buried for three thousand years, let it continue to sleep."
