The princess arrives and the prosperous Tang Dynasty begins

Li Xuan brought Lin Xiao to an ancient temple. He had been to this temple before. In his memory, there was a mysterious stone tablet hidden here. As they entered the temple, the smell of incense hit them in the face, but the atmosphere was extremely solemn, as if an invisible pressure enveloped the entire temple, like a sleeping giant beast, exuding a suffocating breath.

The temple keeper was an old man who looked to be over 70 years old. His face was covered with deep and shallow wrinkles, as if they were carved by the knife of time. However, despite the traces of time that had been ruthlessly left on his face, his eyes were still clear and powerful, like two bright stars. He was wearing a simple Taoist robe and holding a whisk in his hand, looking very solemn. His face was filled with joy and relief, which made people feel a deep sense of satisfaction. When he saw Li Xuan, he immediately walked up to him with excitement flashing in his eyes.

"Mr. Li, you are finally back! The devil has been causing trouble recently and we have been praying to the gods for protection." The temple keeper's voice was filled with helplessness and worry.

Li Xuan nodded, his eyes firm and resolute: "Temple Master, we will definitely destroy that demon and give the people a peaceful life. Please take us to see the stone tablet."

The temple keeper nodded in agreement, with a barely perceptible smile on his face. He led them through the incense-filled hall, his steps light and steady. The hall was filled with flickering candlelight and smoke, as if they were in a mysterious world.

Following the figure of the temple priest, everyone walked through the long corridor and came to the back hall. The atmosphere here was completely different from the front hall, and it seemed more solemn and dignified. Ancient scrolls were hung on the walls, depicting the legends of the gods. The ground was covered with red carpets, which were soft and smooth, giving people a sense of tranquility and peace.

In the center of the back hall, there is a huge statue of the god, which is tens of meters high and solemn. The face of the statue is kind and majestic, and its eyes reveal endless wisdom and power. Around the statue, there are all kinds of offerings, including flowers, fruits, incense and candles, which emit bursts of fragrance.

In addition to the statues, there are also some small altars around, on which different gods are enshrined. Each altar is carefully decorated, showing a unique style and characteristics. Some altars are decorated with exquisite Buddha statues, some are dedicated to Taoist immortals, and some are for the God of Land and the God of Wealth in folk beliefs. These gods each have their own beliefs and worshippers, and people pray for peace, health, wealth and other well-being through sacrifices.

The air is filled with a faint fragrance, which is the smell of burning incense and candles. This fragrance makes people feel calm and peaceful, as if it can wash away the fatigue and troubles of the soul. In such an environment, people can temporarily forget the hustle and bustle of the outside world and immerse themselves in the tranquility of their hearts.

In a dim corner, Li Xuan and Lin Xiao found the stone tablet engraved with mysterious runes. The stone tablet looked weathered, and the runes on it were a little blurry, but if you looked closely, you could still see the complex patterns and words. Lin Xiao approached the stone tablet and observed the runes on it intently.

"These runes look like an ancient spell and may be related to time travel." Lin Xiao said softly. She gently ran her fingers over the runes, trying to feel the energy they contained.

Li Xuan stood aside, silently watching Lin Xiao's every move. He knew that Lin Xiao's modern knowledge and wisdom were the key to solving this mystery.

Lin Xiao used the small notebook in her hand to write down the shape and arrangement of each rune, then took out her mobile phone and took pictures of these runes with weak light. She planned to conduct detailed research and analysis after returning.

"Li Xuan, we must find the other half of the scroll. It is said that the scroll can decipher the secret of these runes." Lin Xiao turned to Li Xuan and said, with a determination flashing in her eyes.

Li Xuan nodded: "I heard that this stone tablet and the painting were originally one, but they were separated for some reason. It is said that the painting is hidden in a remote village. We need to go there to look for it."

The temple keeper listened quietly and said thoughtfully: "The village is called Liu Village. Legend has it that there is indeed a mysterious scroll hidden there. But the place is now desolate and uninhabited, so it is difficult to find specific clues."

Lin Xiao looked at the temple keeper gratefully: "Thank you for your guidance. We will definitely find the scroll, unlock the secrets of these runes, and help everyone get through this difficult time."

Li Xuan and Lin Xiao decided to set off for Liu Village immediately. The temple owner prepared some dry food and water for them and prayed for them, hoping that they could complete the mission smoothly.

After leaving the ancient temple, they walked along the rugged path. Liu Village is located in a remote mountainous area, and the road is tortuous and difficult to travel, but the two did not back down, and they moved forward firmly.

After several days of arduous journey, the two finally arrived at Liu Village. Just as the temple keeper said, the village had been abandoned for a long time, with ruins and broken walls everywhere, and it looked desolate. Li Xuan and Lin Xiao searched the village, not missing any clues. Finally, in a dilapidated house, the two found a scroll. The scroll looked quite old, and the pattern on it echoed the runes on the stone tablet, as if telling the world a long-forgotten history.

Lin Xiao carefully unfolded the scroll, fearing that she would damage it accidentally. She carefully studied the pattern on it, trying to find some clues. At this moment, she suddenly discovered that a pattern on the scroll and a rune on the stone tablet could be perfectly spliced ​​together.

"How...how is this possible?" Lin Xiao was so surprised that she couldn't close her mouth. She originally thought that these patterns were just some ordinary decorations, but now it seems that they seem to have a deeper meaning.

Lin Xiao stared at this discovery excitedly, with a strong curiosity in her heart. She began to try to compare other patterns with the runes on the stone tablet, and indeed found several matches.

"I understand!" Lin Xiao shouted excitedly, "These runes and patterns are a kind of code. Only by piecing them together correctly can we unlock the secrets."

She immediately began to experiment, combining the patterns on the scroll with the runes on the stone tablet one by one. As time went on, more and more patterns were successfully pieced together, and the whole picture gradually became clear.

Lin Xiao stared at the changes in front of her eyes with wide eyes. She seemed to see a mysterious scroll hidden in the long river of history slowly unfolding.

Li Xuan was also very excited: "Then let's give it a try!"

The two began to carefully piece together the patterns on the scroll and the runes on the stone tablet. After some effort, they finally succeeded in piecing together all the patterns and runes.

At this moment, a beam of light shot out from the scroll, illuminating the entire room. In the light, a mysterious voice sounded: "The gate of time and space has been opened, brave people, you will face unknown challenges."
