The glory that was once extinguished by the flames of war may be restored today.

This is not only the long-cherished wish of myself and my father, but also the common wish of all the fathers and villagers in Thousand Caves City.

"Lu Yu, the books in our Thousand Caves City are all stored in that grotto."

Lu Yu looked in the direction pointed by Jia Luo, and saw that there were countless grottoes in the ruined and ruined walls, each of which exuded a mysterious glow, which made people yearn for it.

In the Thousand Caves City, all the large and small grottoes were carved out by the former seekers of knowledge under the proud mountain cliffs, and if you count them carefully, there are exactly a thousand.

A thousand grottoes, each of which contains knowledge imparted by the gods, as well as texts that were painstakingly copied.

Walking towards one of the intact grottoes, I saw that on the rough walls, there were ancient inscriptions, densely packed; At the same time, next to the text, there are mysterious patterns painted on the side of the human being, holding a torch, chasing the light of knowledge

Moreover, when Lu Yu put his hand on the seemingly rough wall, there was a strange feeling of warmth like water coming out of his palm, as if a smooth piece of mutton fat jade was held in his hand, which was extremely friendly.

"The murals on this are painted by the seekers who have traveled through the desert of the clouds at the beginning of the establishment of the Thousand Cave City."

Seeing that Lu Yu seemed to be obsessed with the content on the mural, Jia Luo explained on the side.

"The ancestors of the past, they longed to pursue civilization and truth with their own hands."

Until now, there will still be people who go to the vast sea of knowledge with the hope of the fire in their hearts.

"These thousand grottoes were carved by their own hands, and the knowledge imparted by the gods and the texts that were painstakingly copied were placed in precious places, and engraved into the blood and bone marrow of generations."

"This is also the origin of the Thousand Caves City."

Lu Yu couldn't help but be a little stunned, he couldn't imagine how those former seekers of knowledge were able to establish such a miracle as the Thousand Cave City with their own hands?

Not only the 1,000 carved grottoes, but also the books that symbolize the crystallization of painstaking efforts were actually copied by them themselves.

It turns out that the thirst for knowledge can really create such miracles.

Those seekers of knowledge, although they are mortals, are able to find the footprints of the gods with their own strength and wisdom.

This is life, small as a drop in the ocean compared to this world, but still strong and great, comparable to the gods.

"For thousands of years, Thousand Caves City has always been the most famous school city in the desert in the clouds. In terms of the quantity and quality of the classics collected here, I am afraid that only Chang'an City in the eastern part of the mainland and the legendary Jixia Academy can win. ”

Touching the lifelike murals on the walls, Jia Luo muttered that she still remembers the former glory of Thousand Cave City.

Even though he was only a child at that time, he could still remember the books clearly, and the eager and pious, cherished and loving gaze in his father's eyes was just like this grotto, shining with light.

"The past of Thousand Caves City is really extremely brilliant."

Lu Yu couldn't help but exclaim.

From the mouth of the cave where the books are stored, deep inside, there are many books on the walls.

To Lu Yu's surprise, there was no light or candle flame from outside the cave in the cave, but he was still able to see everything clearly.

Perhaps, this is the wisdom contained in books, the glow of which is not easily measured.

The old man has clouds, and there is a golden house in the book, and now Lu Yu can finally understand.

The process of taking out the books in your bag one by one and placing them on the stone shelf is very simple, but it is difficult to relax.

Because, once you have a blasphemous heart, the books in your hands will seem to become a thousand pounds, and it will be difficult for people to hold on.

"In the past few years, I have been searching the desert for books in the grottoes, but my power alone is limited after all."

Yes, the whole thousand grottoes, those wandering books, are also thousands of years, scholars from the Thousand Caves City, hard work, how can they be found overnight?

Lu Yu saw the tiredness and weakness in Jia Luo's smile, and hurriedly comforted, "It's already very good that you can persist for several years and go back and forth between the Thousand Cave City and the desert to find a collection of books." I believe that your father will be proud to have such a wonderful daughter as you. ”

Not to mention anything else, Jia Luo's determination and perseverance alone are worthy of Lu Yu's admiration.

In fact, although in the past half a month, with Lu Yu's super perception, the two of them have searched for more books than Jia Luo has found in the past few months.

But Lu Yu understood that most of the books in the Thousand Caves City were still Jia Luo himself, and in the past few years, he had used his own hands to pull them out of the hot and rough sand.

The vast desert, the impermanent warmth and coldness, the torturous days, and the sudden crisis Jia Luo has long been not afraid of these, in order to fulfill her father's last wish, she has become a stronger self than in the past.

"If my father knew that there was a man as responsible as you who helped me, he would probably be even happier."

Wan Er smiled, that bright smile was like a hibiscus out of the water, fresh and beautiful.

"Uh, yes."

Lu Yu scratched the back of his head and smiled unnaturally.

Not all of the grottoes are intact, and many of them are visible traces of war.

There are even some grottoes that have collapsed and are buried in the rubble.

However, even so, Garo cleared the debris and ashes and walked into the dangerous grotto, returning the books intact.

And Lu Yu naturally followed behind Jia Luo without hesitation, and walked into the cave that seemed to be about to collapse at any time.

"It's finally done."

Walking out of the last grotto, Lu Yu stretched his waist and yawned fiercely, while Jia Luo watched nervously and expectantly.

But while the two are looking forward to seeing their former glory come back, time is extraordinarily real. A full stick of incense has passed, and nothing has changed on this land except for the bleak autumn wind blowing.

"Is what he said just to comfort me?"

The corners of his eyes trembled slightly, as if they were becoming a little red and swollen, and Garo shook his head in disbelief.

His father clearly said that as long as he collected all the books in the Thousand Caves City, he could regain his former glory.

But

The expectation in my heart has never happened, and everything in reality is still a ruin scattered in the wind.

Nothing came back.

"Garo, don't you understand? Not only those books, but also yourself, the inheritor of the Thousand Caves City! Civilization is not only contained in those books, but also in your own heart, isn't it? ”

"You expect books to bring back the glory of the Thousand Caves, but in fact, the only thing that can restore the glory of the Thousand Caves is yourself."

"Your father asked you to retrieve the books in order to make your heart stronger, so that you can truly realize that you are the last glory of Thousand Caves City."

Just when Jia Luo wanted to give up, Lu Yu's words rang in his ears sonorously.
