The princess arrives and the prosperous Tang Dynasty begins

Li Xuan and Lin Xiao walked up to the old man and greeted him respectfully: "Old man, we are here to look for an ancient scroll. Do you know if there is such a thing hidden here?"

The old man raised his head, glanced at them, smiled slightly, and a barely perceptible cunning flashed in his eyes: "Are you here for the scroll? There is indeed an ancient scroll in this village, but no one has mentioned it for a long time. The scroll is hidden in my house. If you want, I can take you to see it."

Li Xuan and Lin Xiao looked at each other, and a trace of joy surged in their hearts. They gratefully followed the old man to his dilapidated hut. Although the hut was simple, it was clean. The old man took out an old wooden box from under the bed and gently opened it. There was a scroll in the box. The scroll looked well preserved. Although the paper was a little yellowed, the pattern was still clear.

"This is the scroll you are looking for." said the old man, handing it to them.

Lin Xiao took the scroll and carefully unfolded it, and found that the pattern on the scroll was very similar to the runes on the stone tablet. She studied the scroll carefully and found that there was an ancient spell hidden in it that could unlock the runes on the stone tablet.

Li Xuan looked at the scroll, his heart full of doubts. He didn't understand why the old man would hand over the scroll to them so easily. Didn't the old man know the value of the scroll? Or did the old man have other purposes?

Lin Xiao seemed to see what Li Xuan was thinking. She gently pulled his sleeve, signaling him not to speak. Then, she turned around and said to the old man, "Thank you, father-in-law. This painting is very important to us. We will definitely cherish it."

The old man smiled and said, "This scroll has been here for a long time, and I don't know what it is used for. Since you need it, take it. But I have a condition."

Li Xuan and Lin Xiao felt nervous, as they didn't know what conditions the old man would propose. Lin Xiao asked, "Father-in-law, what are your conditions? As long as we can do it, we will definitely agree to it."

The old man looked at them and said slowly: "I hope you can do me a favor. My son is missing, and I want you to help me find him."

Li Xuan and Lin Xiao looked at each other, and a trace of sympathy surged in their hearts. They didn't expect the old man to make such a condition, but they also understood that the old man's request was not excessive. They nodded and said, "Don't worry, father-in-law. We will definitely help you find your son."

The old man looked at them gratefully and said, "Thank you, thank you. If you can find my son, I will thank you very much."

Li Xuan and Lin Xiao said goodbye to the old man and left Liu Village with the scroll. They didn't know where the old man's son was, nor did they know where to start looking. However, they knew that they had to find the old man's son as soon as possible, otherwise they would not be able to unlock the secret of the scroll.

They returned to Chang'an along the same route. In Chang'an, they asked around for news about the old man's son. However, they asked everyone and did not get any useful clues.

Just when they felt desperate, a mysterious man appeared. This man was wearing a black robe and a mask on his face, so his face could not be seen clearly. He walked up to Li Xuan and Lin Xiao and said, "I know what you are looking for. If you want to find the old man's son, follow me."

Li Xuan and Lin Xiao were shocked. They didn't know who this person was, nor did they know why he knew about them. However, they knew that this person might be their only clue. They hesitated for a moment, and then followed this person.

The man took them to a remote place where there was a dilapidated temple. The temple was filled with a gloomy atmosphere, which made people feel chilly.

The man walked into the temple, and Li Xuan and Lin Xiao followed him in. The temple was empty, with only a huge Buddha statue. The Buddha's eyes flashed with strange light, which made people feel creepy.

The man walked up to the Buddha statue and gently touched the Buddha's eyes. Suddenly, a beam of light shot out from the Buddha's eyes, illuminating the entire temple. In the beam of light, a picture appeared.

In the picture, a young man was locked in a dark place, his hands and feet were chained, unable to move. The young man's face was full of fear and despair, and he kept shouting for help.

Li Xuan and Lin Xiao were filled with anger when they saw this scene. They knew that this young man was the old man's son. They had to rescue him.

The man looked at them and said, "This young man is the old man's son. He has been captured by an evil organization that wants to use him to unlock the secret of the scroll. If you want to save him, you must cooperate with me."

Li Xuan and Lin Xiao looked at each other, and a sense of vigilance surged in their hearts. They didn't know whether this person could be trusted, nor did they know whether he had any other purpose. However, they knew that they had to rescue the old man's son as soon as possible, otherwise, his life would be in danger.

They nodded and said, "Okay, we will cooperate with you. But you must ensure our safety."

The man smiled and said, "Don't worry. I won't hurt you. As long as you do what I say, I guarantee you can rescue the old man's son safely."

Li Xuan and Lin Xiao followed this person out of the temple and came to a secret place. There, they met a person in a black robe. This person was the leader of the evil organization.

The chief looked at them and said, "You are here at last. I know you are here for the secret of the scroll. As long as you hand over the scroll to me, I will release you and the old man's son."

Li Xuan and Lin Xiao's hearts tightened. They knew that the scroll was their only clue. If they handed the scroll to the leader, they would not be able to unlock the secret of the scroll or find the treasure. However, if they did not hand the scroll to the leader, the old man's son would be in danger of his life.

They hesitated for a moment, then said, "We can give you the scroll, but you must release the old man's son first."

The leader smiled and said, "Do you think I will let you go so easily? You must hand over the scroll to me first, and then I will consider letting you and the old man's son go."

Li Xuan and Lin Xiao looked at each other, and a trace of despair surged in their hearts. They knew that they had fallen into a desperate situation. However, they did not give up. They decided to fight a desperate battle with the leader, for the old man's son and for the secret of the scroll.

They drew their swords and rushed towards the leader. The leader sneered and waved the magic wand in his hand. A black light shot towards them. Li Xuan and Lin Xiao dodged quickly, but they were still hit by the light.

They fell to the ground, feeling that all the strength in their bodies had been drained away. They knew that they could no longer escape the clutches of the leader. However, they did not give up. They used up their last bit of strength and threw the scroll at the leader.

The leader took the scroll and laughed. He looked at Li Xuan and Lin Xiao and said, "Do you think you can stop me like this? You are too naive. I have learned the secret of the scroll, and I will find the treasure soon."

Li Xuan and Lin Xiao looked at the leader, their hearts filled with despair. They knew that they had failed. However, they did not regret it. They paid everything for the old man's son and for the secret of the scroll.

Just when the leader was feeling elated, suddenly, a beam of light shot out from the scroll. The light illuminated the entire room, making it impossible for the leader to open his eyes.

Li Xuan and Lin Xiao saw this scene, and a glimmer of hope surged in their hearts. They didn't know what this light was, but they knew that this was their last chance.

They struggled to get up and rushed to the leader. The leader was illuminated by the light and could not move. Li Xuan and Lin Xiao took the opportunity to knock him to the ground and snatched the scroll.

They took the scroll and fled the room. They didn't know where to go, but they knew they had to leave here as soon as possible. They ran along a path for a long time and finally came to a safe place.

They stopped and gasped. They opened the scroll and found that the pattern on the scroll had changed. It turned out that the pattern on the scroll was a map, and the map marked the location of a treasure.

Li Xuan and Lin Xiao looked at the map, and a sense of joy surged in their hearts. They knew that they had finally found the location of the treasure. They decided to follow the instructions on the map and go to the location of the treasure.

They followed the instructions on the map and walked for a long time before finally arriving at a valley. The valley was filled with a mysterious atmosphere that made people shudder.

They walked into the valley and found a huge palace in the valley. The gate of the palace was closed and some strange runes were engraved on it.

Li Xuan and Lin Xiao looked at the palace with awe in their hearts. They knew that this palace was where the treasure was. They decided to enter the palace and look for the treasure.

They carefully pushed open the palace gate and walked in. The palace was filled with an ancient atmosphere, making people feel as if they had traveled through time and space.

They walked along the corridor of the palace for a long time and finally came to a hall. In the hall were some precious cultural relics and jewels, which were dazzling.

Li Xuan and Lin Xiao looked at the treasures, and a sense of joy welled up in their hearts. They knew that they had gone through a lot of hardships to find these treasures. They decided to take these treasures back to Chang'an and give them to the old man.

They left the palace with the treasure. They returned to Chang'an along the same road. In Chang'an, they handed the treasure to the old man. The old man looked at them gratefully and said, "Thank you, thank you. If it weren't for you, I would never have found my son and these treasures."
