If Artifacts Could Ppeak
墨書 Inktalez
Humans cannot walk between heaven and earth without leaving a trace, and artifacts are the evidence of human beings shuttling through history. The protagonist of this story is the Bi yu dragon, which is renowned as the "The First Dragon of China". What can its existence prove?
...
"Hey! I'm here, I'm here!" The Bi yu dragon buried deep in the mud faintly heard the footsteps of humans. Even though the sound was very weak, as if coming from several meters away, it made his long-silent heart beat again.
Bi yu dragon I don't know how many years I have spent in this pitch-black darkness, unable to see my hand in front of my face. I am completely pressed down by the earth and unable to move at all. Every day, opening my eyes or closing them, it's all pitch black. As time passes, my longing for sunlight grows stronger, but slowly, I succumb to fate while waiting.
At first, I still had hope that if humans discovered my absence, they would send more people to rescue me from the earth, considering my nobility. Bi yu dragon's hope was not unfounded. In the Western world, dragons represent the antithesis of justice, symbolizing disaster and evil. But in the Eastern world, dragons are divine creatures in ancient Chinese mythology, revered by the people!
For such a handsome and beloved mascot, to be buried in the ground for so many years, it makes me want to spew out old blood at the thought of it!
The footsteps above became clearer and clearer, pulling Bi yu dragon back to reality. Over the years, there have been humans approaching this area, and each time, he would get excited, thinking that this time he would finally see the outside sun, only to end up disappointed every time. Just when Bi yu dragon thought this time would be the same, a surprised voice entered his ears, "Oh my goodness, what strange thing is this!" He was dug out of the soil by a pair of rough hands that were used to farm work, and carefully cradled in the palms. Bi yu dragon was momentarily blinded by the glaring sunlight above, but once he adjusted, he realized that he had been saved! He glanced at the attire of his savior in front of him, feeling a bit puzzled for a moment.
How come this outfit looks different from the one I saw before? "Hey, old man, what time is it now?" The old man was shocked to see the thing in his hand speaking and widened his eyes, trembling as he replied, "It's... 1971 now, and New China has been liberated for a long time... after the founding of the country, it's not allowed to become clever. What kind of monster are you?" The old man shook his hand and threw Bi yu dragon heavily on the ground, then scattered his feet and ran towards the village. Bi yu dragon struggled to climb up from the ground, rubbing his already bent waist, "Luckily, I have good bones and muscles, otherwise, after this fall, I would have to copy and paste into two handsome auspicious beasts." Not far away, the old man led the villagers to come over in a grand manner. Bi yu dragon learned his lesson this time. He knew that not everyone could accept objects speaking, so he quietly lay on the ground, disguised as a piece of jade.
The villagers who rushed over were all amazed by the appearance of the Bi yu dragon, which secretly pleased him. If the villagers could carefully observe his dragon head, they might discover the corners of his mouth quietly turning up.
"Old man, what nonsense are you talking about! This might be a treasure left by our ancestors, how could it be a monster!" A villager slightly reproached the old man, but when facing the Bi yu dragon, he put on a loving and pitying look.
In a corner where the villagers couldn't see, the Bi yu dragon quietly greeted the old man. "Look, look, he moved!" The old man quickly tugged at the clothes of the people next to him. When everyone's attention returned to the Bi yu dragon, it had already returned to the appearance of an ordinary jade ornament, causing the crowd to reprimand the old man again.
The excavation of the Bi yu dragon has caused quite a stir in society. After many twists and turns, it finally found its home in the National Museum of China, where there are endless streams of visitors coming to admire its figure every day.
Don't be fooled by the fact that Bi yu dragon has been buried in the earth for so many years. Due to its native jade, its body remains very round and smooth. Although it is called Bi yu dragon, it actually combines elements of four different animals: its head is like a dragon, its body is like a snake, its nose is like a pig, and its mane is like a horse. Therefore, it has often been teased by the museum's artifact friends as "the four unlike."
In response, Bi yu dragon always snorts and arrogantly retorts, "What do you know? People call me 'The First Dragon of China', have you heard that? I am the first dragon!" It slightly curls its body, forming a "C" shape, just like the "dragon" character in oracle bone script.
The curved back is like a bow full of strength, ready to be released, as if it will soar into the sky in the next second. The hair on its back arrogantly points to the sky, and when displeased, its head tightens, exuding an unparalleled majesty from head to toe.
The cultural relics friends were suddenly overwhelmed by its imposing manner, and they all apologized to Bi yu dragon. He immediately retracted his sharpness and turned into a sarcastic and proud look, "Hmph! Let's see if you dare to make fun of me next time! Whoever makes fun of me, I will intimidate them with dragon's aura, hahaha!"
Looking at his silly smile, who would know that he is actually "The First Dragon of China"? In fact, don't be fooled by Bi yu dragon's usual talkativeness and love of teasing companions, like a child who has just entered kindergarten. He is one of the most important figures in the museum and is truly the treasure of the museum.
"I am over five thousand years old. Who among you is older than me? Let's compare our ages together!" During leisure time, the Bi yu dragon enjoys comparing ages with its companions, and of course, the result is always in its favor. In the museum, the older it is, the more valuable it becomes. Indeed, the existence of Bi yu dragon can be traced back to the origins of Chinese civilization.
Bi yu dragon has spent many splendid moments in the museum, occasionally teasing the nearby Simuwu Ding or Four Sheep Square Zun, living a more and more luxurious life with each passing day. But no one knows that in the quiet of the night, this proud Bi yu dragon also softly hums a song it learned from visitors: "In the distant East, there is a dragon, and its name is China..."
It longs for the dragon friends it used to play with thousands of years ago, not knowing if they have been unearthed by people or have already disappeared into the river of history...
