The communication with Li Daoyi benefited Wei Zede a lot, and for a whole day, he kept pondering every word Li Daoyi said.

It wasn't until the next day that the remaining four members of the rescue team made it to the last leg of the mission.

……

There was nothing to do all the way, and under the guidance of Wei Zede, everyone arrived at the periphery of the ruins of the ancient city very smoothly.

When you look up, it's all ruins!

[Main Quest: 3. Arrive at the Lost City, which has been completed. 】

[Task log updating......]

[Main Quest: 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's father and daughter, otherwise the mission will fail. 】

After more than ten hours of exploration, Wei Zede and others roughly estimated the scale of the ruins of this ancient city.

There are hundreds of houses in the outer city, and the towers of the bunkers are scattered over the parapets, and there are also bluestone avenues that crisscross it.

The layout of the inner city adheres to the principle of "the front is the city after the city, the left ancestor is the right society", and there is a Ming Hall in the southern suburbs outside the city to worship heaven and earth.

Among the ruins, there are a large number of relics of palace building materials in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. In the northwest of the city site, there are workshop ruins such as bone-making, pottery-making, and stone quarries; In the southwest corner of the city, there are still the ruins of a granary from the Warring States period......

"It's incredible! This lost city was inhabited...... And it's still a long time! It's hard to imagine, how could this be the ancestral garden of Tuoba Xianbei? This is obviously the environment where the Han people live......"

Professor Liu Kai'an and Liu Ru's father and daughter are excited about the discovery, but Wei Zede and Li Daoyi are focused on finding the "core" of the Lost City.

"Wizard, what the hell is this 'core'? It can't be the 'heirloom jade seal', right? ”

Li Daoyi said thoughtfully.

After pondering for a while, Wei Zede said, "No matter what it is...... Let's take a break! Wait until tomorrow and search again......"

Li Daoyi nodded silently.

At this time, there was an exclamation from Professor Liu Kai'an: "Come and see, there are a few paintings here!" ”

After hearing Professor Liu's exclamation, Wei Zede and the others immediately followed the voice.

It is a shadow wall made of white jade, which is located outside the main entrance of a small palace ruins.

Compared to the ruins of many ruins, this shadow wall is exceptionally well preserved.

Professor Liu pointed to the shadow wall carved with a series of patterns and explained to the crowd: "This kind of shadow wall, located on the east and west sides of the gate, is at an angle of 120 degrees or 135 degrees with the gate notch, and the plane is in the shape of a figure-eight, which is called the 'anti-eight-character shadow wall' or 'the shadow wall of the mountain'......"

"But the patterns carved on the two shadow walls in front of us make me a little confused! You guys also come and see ......."

Staring, Wei Zede noticed that the twelve pictures on the shadow wall seemed to be a record of the beginning and end of the "Lost City".

From left to right, the first depicts a group of men dressed in animal skins and with pigtails on their heads, herding their cattle across a field and migrating their tribe to a towering mountain.

This seems to correspond to some rumors about Tuoba Xianbei: "In the north of the secluded capital, in the wilderness of the desert, animal husbandry migrates, and hunting is the industry." ”

In the second pattern, the people of this tribe have arrived at the foot of the mountain and have begun a happy life;

On the third pattern, the style of painting changes abruptly, revealing a dark and terrifying atmosphere. In this picture, a huge bird spreads its wings to cover the sky and the sun, hovering over the top of a high mountain;

The fourth pattern depicts several Han Chinese dressed in Confucian robes coming to the tribe and saying something to the tribal chief who kneels before them;

In the fifth pattern, the tribesmen began to dig in the interior of the high mountain, and at the end of the scroll we can tell that they built the "Seven Star Disk Dragon Array" that everyone has encountered;

In the sixth pattern, the Han people in Confucian robes climbed to the top of the mountain, as if they were communicating with the giant bird, and then the giant bird seemed to become much smaller, and followed several Han people into the "Seven Star Disk Dragon Array" inside the mountain;

In the seventh pattern, the giant bird appears to be very angry, and it struggles violently in the "Seven Star Disk Dragon Array", which in turn triggers a volcanic eruption;

In the eighth pattern, several Han Chinese perform on the altar, the giant bird falls into a deep sleep, and the volcano only erupts "half", forming a huge valley;

In the ninth pattern, the tribesmen begin to build a city in the valley;

In the tenth pattern, the city seems to have been attacked by countless monsters and deserted, and the 'demon vines' encountered by everyone are also presented in the picture;

In the eleventh pattern, four blurred figures stand in front of a shadow wall in the midst of the ruins, and then the monster reappears and the volcano erupts again.

The last painting, on the other hand, is blank......

After looking at the patterns carved on the shadow wall, everyone looked at each other!

Isn't this eleventh set of patterns painted by the four members of the rescue team?

"Heh, hehe......"

Liu Ru laughed a few times and said, "This should be a coincidence, well, it must be a coincidence!" ”

Professor Liu Kai'an shook his head and retorted, "No! The four people in the painting should be us...... Let's not talk about that, what do you think of the giant bird in the third pattern? ”

"Probably an exaggerated expression!"

Liu Ru tried to explain: "It may also be the visualization and concretization of natural disasters......

Professor Liu Kai'an again objected: "I don't think so! Do you remember that 'half-amputated wing'? ”

"That doesn't mean much! Maybe it's our hallucination, maybe it's a hallucination! Liu Ru's pale explanation was very weak.

Li Dao's side sank like water: "...... If the content of the drawing is true, then we will be attacked by monsters in a moment! And there are volcanic eruptions......"

"This prophecy should not be false!"

Professor Liu's expression was serious: "We'd better get out of here as soon as possible!" Xiao Ning, what do you think? ”

Wei Zede pointed to the last pattern and said, "If all this is true, we must leave immediately!" But look here......"

Everyone looked in the direction of Wei Zede's finger, and at the end of the twelfth pattern, one of the four people, holding a "seal" in his hand, led the other people to take a volley in a sea of fire and fly away.

"According to the prophecy, if we want to get out of here safely, we must find the 'seal'! I don't know if it's the heirloom jade seal recorded in the 'Parchment Scroll', but without it, we're afraid we'll ......."

Although Wei Zede didn't say the last words directly, everyone understood what he meant.

"Since everyone believes in the prophecy on this shadow wall, let's hurry up and find the seal!" Professor Liu closed the coffin.

"Good! We still have plenty of time before we encounter a monster attack......"

Li Dao nodded in agreement.

For the sake of safety, everyone still acted together, blindly wandering around the ruins of this ancient city.

It is said that it is blind, but everyone still looks for it in a targeted manner.

The seal will definitely not be placed in the homes of ordinary people, so the main search area of the rescue team is the central area of the inner city in the ruins of the ancient city, especially the ruins of several palaces. Because it is generally the residence of dignitaries, and even the place where the city lord and monarch live.

After careful searching, only the last relatively well-preserved palace remained unchecked.

Standing at the main entrance of the palace, everyone's expressions were a little nervous, because this can be said to be everyone's last hope!

After a brief exploration, Professor Liu said, "This palace is a typical Western Zhou architectural style, which is divided into two courtyards, front and back, and along the central axis from south to north, there are squares, zhaobi, doorways and their left and right jukus, front yards, halls open to the south, central corridors facing north and south, and bedrooms divided into several rooms. There is a small courtyard on the left and right sides of the middle corridor, and there are back doors on the left and right sides of the room. The east and west of the three rows of houses each have a north-south compartment, and the south end of the house protrudes from the outside of the school, and in the front and back of the hall, there is a corridor on the inward side of the east and west chambers and the room, and the overall plan is in the shape of a Japanese figure. ”

At this time, Liu Ru muttered: "After talking a lot, I still don't have a clue how to find the seal!" ”

After hearing his daughter's complaints, Professor Liu couldn't help but smile awkwardly.

"Wizard, we can't just do this, can we?" Li Daoyi asked in a low voice.

"Don't worry!"

Weized replied calmly: "I want to...... I've found the secret of this palace......"
