The exchanges with Li Daoyi benefited Weizard a lot. He spent the whole day pondering every word Li Daoyi said.
Until the next day, the remaining four people of the rescue team embarked on the last part of the mission scene.
…
Nothing happened all the way, and under the guidance of Weizard, everyone reached the periphery of the ruins of the ancient city very smoothly.
Looking up, there are ruined walls!
[Main task: 3. Arrive in the Lost City, which has been completed. 】
【The task log is being updated...】
[Main mission: 4. Find and obtain the "core" of the Lost City; during the mission, the player must ensure the personal safety of Professor Liu Kai'an and Liu Ru and his daughter, otherwise the mission will fail. 】
After more than ten hours of exploration, Weizard and others roughly estimated the scale of the ruins of this ancient city.
There are about hundreds of houses and halls in the outer city, with bunker towers scattered on various sections of the retaining wall, and there are also criss-crossing bluestone avenues.
The layout of the inner city complies with the principle of "the front is the front and the back is the city, the left is the ancestor and the right is the community", and the southern suburbs outside the city have a Mingtang to worship the heaven and the earth.
Among the ruins, there are a large number of relics of palace building materials from the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. There are workshop sites such as bone making, pottery making, and stone yard in the northwest of the city site; in the southwest corner of the city, there are still relics of granary from the Warring States period...
"It's incredible! This lost city has been inhabited... and it's a long time! It's hard to imagine how this is the ancestral home of Tuoba Xianbei? This is clearly the environment where the Han people live..."
Professor Liu Kai'an and Liu Ru and his daughter were very excited about this discovery, but Wei Zede and Li Daoyi focused on finding the "core" of the Lost City.
"Sorcerer, what exactly is this'core'? Isn't it the'heroic jade seal', right?"
Li Daoyi said thoughtfully.
After pondering for a while, Weizard said, "Whatever it is... Let's take a break and rest! We will search again tomorrow..."
Li Daoyi nodded silently.
At this time, Professor Liu Kai'an exclaimed: "Hurry up and see, there are some paintings here!"
After hearing Professor Liu's exclamation, Weizard and the others immediately followed the sound.
This is a screen wall made of white jade stone, which is located outside the main entrance of a ruined small palace.
Compared with the ruins of many ruins, this shadow wall is exceptionally intact.
Professor Liu pointed to the screen wall carved with a series of patterns, and explained to everyone: "This kind of screen wall is located on the east and west sides of the gate, at an angle of 120 degrees or 135 degrees with the slot of the gate, and the plane is in a figure eight shape, which is called ' "Anti-Bazi Shadow Wall" or "Pishan Shadow Wall"..."
"But the carved patterns on the two shadow walls in front of us make me a little confused! Come and see..."
Staring straightly, Weizard noticed the twelve pictures on the screen wall, which seemed to be records about the beginning and end of the "Lost City".
In order from left to right, the first pattern depicts a group of people dressed in animal skin costumes with pigtails on their heads, driving livestock in a field and migrating their tribe to a majestic mountain.
This seems to correspond to some rumors about Tuoba Xianbei: "Tongyou the north of the capital, the vast desert of the wild, the migration of animal husbandry, and hunting as an industry."
On the second pattern, the people of this tribe have arrived under the mountain and started a happy life;
On the third pattern, the style of painting changed abruptly, revealing a dark and terrifying atmosphere. In this picture scroll, there is a huge bird spreading its wings to cover the sky and hovering on the top of the mountain;
On the fourth pattern, several Han people in Confucian robes came to this tribe and said something to the tribe chief who was kneeling in front of them;
In the fifth pattern, the people of the tribe began to dig in the interior of the mountain. At the end of the scroll, we can tell that what they built is the "Seven Stars Panlong Array" that everyone has encountered;
In the sixth pattern, the Han Chinese in Confucian robes climbed to the top of the mountain, seeming to be communicating with the giant bird, and then the giant bird seemed to be much smaller, and followed several Han people into the "Seven-Star Panlong Array" inside the mountain. ";
In the seventh pattern, the giant bird appeared very angry. It struggled violently in the "Seven Stars Panlong Array", which triggered a volcanic eruption;
In the eighth pattern, several Han people practiced on the altar, the giant bird fell into deep sleep, and the volcano only erupted "half", forming a huge valley;
In the ninth pattern, the people of the tribe began to build a city in the valley;
In the tenth pattern, the city seems to have been attacked by countless monsters and left deserted. The'Demon Vine' encountered by everyone is also presented in the picture;
In the eleventh pattern, there are four blurred figures standing in front of a shadow wall in the ruins to watch, then the monster reappears and the volcano erupts again.
And the last painting is blank...
After looking at the carved patterns on the screen wall, everyone looked at each other!
Isn't the eleventh pattern painted on the four rescue teams
"Heh, hehe..."
Liu Rugan laughed a few times and said, "This should be a coincidence, um, it must be a coincidence!"
Professor Liu Kaian shook his head and retorted: "No! The four people in the painting should be us... Let alone this, what do you think of the giant bird in the third pattern?"
"It may be an exaggerated expression!"
Liu Ru tried to explain: "It may also be the visualization and concretization of natural disasters..."
Professor Liu Kai'an objected again: "I don't think so! Do you remember that'half wing'?"
"That doesn't explain anything! Maybe it's our illusion, maybe!" Liu Ru's pale explanation was very weak.
Li Dao sank like water: "...If the content on the painting is true, then we will be attacked by monsters in a while! And there will be volcanic eruptions..."
"This prediction should not be false!"
Professor Liu looked serious: "We'd better get out of here as soon as possible! Xiao Ning, what do you think?"
Weizard pointed to the last pattern and said: "If all this is true, we must leave right away! But, look here..."
Everyone looked in the direction of Weizard's fingers. At the end of the twelfth pattern, one of the four people, holding a "seal" in his hand, led the others to volley in a sea of flames, soaring. go.
"According to the description in the prophecy, if we want to leave here safely, we must find the'seal'! Although it is not known whether it is the royal jade seal recorded in the'Sheepskin Scrolls', but without this thing, we I am afraid… "
Although Weizard didn't say the last words directly, everyone knew what he meant.
"Since everyone believes in the prophecy on this shadow wall, let's hurry up and find the seal!" Professor Liu concluded the coffin.
"Okay! Before encountering the monster attack, we still have plenty of time..."
Li Dao nodded in agreement.
For safety, everyone still moved together, wandering around blindly among the ruins of this ancient city.
Said it was blind, but everyone was still searching for it in a targeted manner.
The seal is definitely not placed in the homes of ordinary people. Therefore, the main search area of the rescue team is the central area of the inner city among the ruins of the ancient city, especially the ruins of several palaces. Because there are generally the residences of high-ranking officials and dignitaries, and even the places where city lords and monarchs live.
After careful searching, there is only the last palace that has been preserved intact and has not been viewed by everyone.
Standing at the front entrance of the palace, everyone's expressions were a little nervous, because here can be said to be everyone's last hope!
After a simple exploration, Professor Liu said: "This palace is a typical Western Zhou architectural style. It is divided into front and back courtyards. Along the central axis, there are squares, walls, doorways, and its left and right schools and front courtyards. Courtyard, south-opening hall, north-south middle corridor and several bedrooms. There is a small courtyard on the left and right sides of the middle corridor, and the back doors are set on the left and right sides of the rooms. The east and west of the three rows of houses are divided into north and south wing rooms. Its southern end protrudes outside the school. At the front and rear of the hall, there is a corridor on the inward side of the east and west compartments and the rooms to pass through, and the overall plane is in the shape of a Japanese character."
At this time Liu Ru muttered: "After talking a lot, I still have no idea how to find the seal!"
After hearing his daughter's complaint, Professor Liu couldn't help but smile awkwardly.
"Witch, we can't just keep going, right?" Li Daoyi asked in a low voice.
"Don't worry!"
Weizard replied calmly: "I think... I have found the secret in this palace..."
