Siheyuan: He Yuzhu starts with god-level cooking skills
Chapter 139: Fragile
After a series of difficult and exciting expeditions, they arrived at an ancient ruin known as the "Ghost Ancient City". According to legend, this place is shrouded in mysterious shadows and is believed to be inhabited by ghosts and gods.
He Yuzhu and Li Xuan were not frightened by these legends. They were determined to go deeper into this ancient city in order to find more clues about the mysterious man.
The deeper they went, the more disturbing the atmosphere of the ancient city became. There was a cold breath flowing around, and the moss and vines growing on the ancient stone bricks told the story of the years.
Suddenly, He Yuzhu slipped and nearly fell, and Li Xuan stepped forward to help him up in time. The surroundings became unusually quiet, as if the entire city had come to a standstill.
"Why is it so quiet here?" He Yuzhu asked anxiously.
"Maybe it's just our illusion." Li Xuan tried to calm his panic.
"Let's keep moving forward, maybe there will be new discoveries."
He Yuzhu and Li Xuan continued to move forward and discovered a magnificent ruin site that looked like it might have once been a magnificent palace.
The door of the palace was half-open, and even with a light touch, one could feel a solemn, historic atmosphere.
"It's really scary here. Should we go in and take a look?" He Yuzhu asked hesitantly.
"Now that we're here, let's go in and explore." Li Xuan encouraged him.
He Yuzhu and Li Xuan walked slowly into the palace. In the darkness, they felt a heavy chill that made them wrap their clothes tightly.
They walked inside trembling all over, but every corner seemed to hide unknown secrets.
There are some ancient objects on display in the hall, some of which glow in the dark, as if warning people. "These antiques look like they were specially prepared for some kind of sacrificial activity."
"This ancient city might be a holy place of special religious beliefs." He Yuzhu guessed, "Could it be that this is the place where ghosts and gods live?" Li Xuan couldn't help but feel nervous.
At this moment, an old and unpredictable voice suddenly sounded in the hall: "Mortals, you have made a mistake and entered this forbidden area by mistake."
He Yuzhu and Li Xuan turned pale instantly.
The scenery before my eyes suddenly looked weird.
They vaguely felt that a vague force was binding them tightly, and they couldn't extricate themselves. "We came here to look for some clues out of helplessness, and we didn't mean to offend you." He Yuzhu hurriedly explained.
Suddenly, a strong light flashed by, and the ghost lurking in the city revealed its true form. A man with hair as white as snow slowly stepped out of the light.
There was an unbearably sharp and cold light radiating from his eyes.
"The reason you traveled all the way here is because of that old event, right?" the white-haired man asked in a cold tone.
"Yes, we want to find out more information about this mysterious man." Li Xuan replied.
"He is an extremely cold-blooded man, and there seems to be some undercurrent hidden behind him." "Then do you know his background?" asked the white-haired man.
He Yuzhu and Li Xuan shook their heads at the same time to indicate that they didn't know. The white-haired man pondered for a moment and slowly spoke. "He is actually the guardian spirit of this city and was once a righteous knight."
"But due to a tragedy, he became as ruthless as a devil." "He mercilessly punished all the creatures who set foot in this thousand-year-old city."
"Why did he fall into such a situation?" He Yuzhu asked curiously.
The white-haired man sighed, "That was a story that happened hundreds of years ago." "That tragic incident took away all his loved ones."
"His heart has become sentimental and fragile." "He is like this ancient city, trapped in a thousand-year-old sorrow." "Then how can we find clues about him?" Li Xuan asked.
The white-haired man pondered for a moment again, and then told them that they needed to pass a test to get a clue. Although He Yuzhu and Li Xuan had doubts about this.
But on the surface, He Yuzhu did not show any doubts.
This palace was once the residence of an ancient emperor, but now it has been abandoned for a long time and looks dilapidated. In this palace, they found some stone tablets full of traces of time.
These stone tablets are engraved with ancient symbols, as if hiding some unspeakable secrets. "These inscriptions are obviously extraordinary and may contain some magical powers."
He Yuzhu stared at the inscriptions intently, hoping to find clues about the mysterious man.
"Perhaps we can decipher these inscriptions and find some useful information." Li Xuan also showed great interest in these inscriptions.
Through their mutual efforts, they finally succeeded in deciphering these ancient inscriptions and found some clues related to the mysterious man and the treasure he was pursuing.
These clues made their goal clearer, and they quickly took more active measures to find the mysterious man and uncover more unsolved mysteries.
Their next expedition location was an isolated island called the "Land of Mist". It was shrouded in thick fog all year round, making it difficult to see everything on the island.
On this foggy island, they walked cautiously, searching for clues about the missing man. He Yuzhu and Li Xuan also continued their search here.
The dense trees on the island block out the sun, and all light is blocked by the lush branches and leaves, making this place always dark and damp day and night.
Although they tried hard to find the mysterious man on the island, they seemed to be surrounded by endless silence.
As they moved forward, the damp smell became stronger, as if showing the two the mystery and potential danger of this island. Li Xuan suddenly stopped and looked ahead intently.
There was a flash of caution in his eyes, as if he had discovered something unusual. He Yuzhu also followed, looking in the direction Li Xuan was looking.
In the dark of a cliff, they found an ancient and solemn altar. "What is this place?" He Yuzhu asked curiously.
"I'm not sure, but it looks very old." Li Xuan frowned solemnly, "Let's go over and pay more attention."
Cautiously approaching the altar, they noticed that it was made of an obsidian-like rock, the surface of which was covered with dense moss and full of traces of time.
Several tall stone pillars stood around the altar, guarding it, expressing an indescribable importance and solemnity. Li Xuan pointed to a statue on the altar and said, "Look, who is that?"
He Yuzhu also looked closer and carefully. The statue was a man with an angry face, wearing a cloak and holding a special long sword. It did not look like the belief of the island area where they were.
"This statue looks completely strange, maybe we have never seen it before." At this time, Li Xuan pondered, "Perhaps our coming to this isolated island has some special meaning."
He Yuzhu looked around and noticed that there were many ancient sculptures and stone tablets scattered around, which seemed to have been built to worship this mysterious statue.
"Let's continue to explore the area, maybe we can find some new clues." He Yuzhu suggested. So the two continued to search on the mysterious island, which seemed to hide countless secrets.
Every stone and every ancient tree seemed to contain unknown power. They bypassed a jungle and came to the edge of the island.
Before my eyes was a sea covered with dark clouds, with surging waves and layers of waves. A hole appeared on the cliff, and there was a faint flickering light like a ghost fire at the hole.
He Yuzhu pointed to the entrance of the cliff and said, "Look, that might be a cave!" His tone was full of anticipation.
"Let's go and take a look." Li Xuan nodded in agreement, and the two decided to explore the cave which might hide further secrets.
He Yuzhu and Li Xuan climbed the steep rocks side by side, their clothes soaked with sweat. In order to explore the true face of the legendary treasure, they had no intention of retreating. After overcoming many difficulties, the two finally stood in front of the entrance of the cave.
He Yuzhu looked at the dark cave entrance, his eyes flickering with desire for treasure. Li Xuan also looked radiant, and both of them were full of longing.
Entering the cave, it was dark, with only a few rays of light coming through the cracks. The two reminded each other to be careful and explore deeper to find possible hidden traps.
Walking in the dim cave, they noticed that the magma on the wall was flowing slowly, and the rocks under their feet were unusually smooth, so the two had to move carefully as if dancing.
Passing through the dark and damp passage, they held searchlights to illuminate the way ahead. The swaying shadows on the wall made the cave seem unfathomable, and the secrets hidden in the unknown seemed to lure them forward.
An unexpected bright light caught He Yuzhu's attention. He pointed to the darkness, and the two followed the light and kept moving forward. Finally, they found a huge stone tablet engraved with ancient words and patterns, telling a thousand-year-old story.
Li Xuan stroked the stone tablet and said that these words had nothing to do with the system he knew, so there was no need to use ancient documents to interpret them. He Yuzhu observed that a certain raised symbol on the stone tablet coincided with the statue on the altar, which seemed to imply some secret connection.
They invested in in-depth exploration and found that these peaceful lines and patterns were incompatible with the culture and text they knew, and even the thorough text could not reveal their inner desires. Li Xuan thought that more evidence and resources were needed to uncover the secrets.
At the end of the long journey of rock climbing, crossing and exploration, He Yuzhu and Li Xuan realized that this treasure hunt brought not only the revelation of the unknown, but also a meditation on history and reverence for the wisdom of their ancestors.
"Are there any areas on the island that we haven't explored yet?" He Yuzhu asked.
"We can look around again and maybe we can find something." Li Xuan suggested.
They left the cave and returned to the altar.
