Her eyes sometimes stayed on the colorful illustrations, and sometimes wandered between the pages, as if attracted by those ancient stories. Just as she was immersed in thinking about ancient life, suddenly, a strange light flashed, and the study in front of her became blurry in an instant.

"Huh? Where is this?" Chen Fang rubbed her eyes, and the surroundings gradually became clear. She found herself in an ancient stone house, with beautiful murals hanging on the walls, depicting scenes of harvest, lively markets, and people dancing happily.

"Who are you?" A gentle voice interrupted her thoughts. Chen Fang turned around and saw a woman in ancient clothes, with long hair like a waterfall and a beautiful face, looking at her curiously.

"I... my name is Chen Fang, and I'm from modern times." She answered stutteringly, her heart full of surprise and excitement.

"Modern?" The woman frowned slightly, as if she was not familiar with the word. "Where are you from? Why are you here?"

"I was studying ancient murals and was suddenly attracted to them." Chen Fang tried to explain, secretly glad that she could talk to the ancients. "These murals are so beautiful, can you tell me their stories?"

"Of course." The woman smiled slightly, with wisdom shining in her eyes. "My name is A Lian, and I'm the mural artist here. Every painting you see contains bits and pieces of our lives."

Chen Fang was excited and asked immediately, "What's the story behind this mural depicting the harvest?"

A Lian walked to the mural and gently stroked the rice ears on the painting, with a warm expression on her face. "This is the annual harvest festival in our village. On this day, people celebrate hard work and the gifts of nature. We dance and sing to thank the earth for its gifts."

“It’s so beautiful.” Chen Fang said with emotion, “In modern times, many people have forgotten this close relationship with nature.”

"What is your life like?" A Lian asked curiously.

"We have a lot of technology and convenient life, but we are often too busy to enjoy life." Chen Fang sighed and thought about her own life. "I hope to bring your story back so that more people can understand it."

A Lian smiled slightly, with a hint of appreciation in her eyes. "If you'd like, you can help us record these stories. We hope that future generations will remember these precious moments."

"Of course I am willing!" Chen Fang's eyes lit up, and a flame of hope ignited in her heart. "I can pass on these stories in a modern way, combined with your traditions."

"So, would you like to work with me to create a new mural?" A-Lian suggested, with an expectant smile on her face.

"Of course!" Chen Fang was excited and agreed immediately. She followed A Lian to an empty wall, and A Lian began to explain the composition and color usage of the murals to her.

"We need to choose a theme first," A-Lian said. "What do you think best represents our lives?"

"I want to depict the harmonious coexistence of man and nature," Chen Fang replied, with countless images flashing through her mind. "For example, farmers working in the fields, children playing by the stream, and old people sitting under a tree telling stories."

"That's a wonderful idea." A-Lian nodded in agreement and began to outline the blank wall with her fingers. "We can use warm colors to show the brightness of the sun and the abundance of the earth."

The two began to create together. A-Lian skillfully mixed the pigments, while Chen Fang recorded every detail in a modern way. As the picture gradually took shape, Chen Fang felt an unprecedented sense of satisfaction. Her soul was intertwined with the pulse of this ancient land, as if she had become a part of the story.

"This painting will become our legacy," A-Lian said as she painted, with hope in her eyes. "People in the future will be able to feel our lives and emotions through it."

"Yes, I will bring it back and tell more people." Chen Fang said firmly, with a sense of mission in her heart.

Ancient murals and modern perspectives meet here, and the boundaries of time seem to become blurred at this moment.

The faint beam of his flashlight wandered across the walls, revealing the blurry murals and carvings that seemed to be telling stories from long ago.

"Wow, this is such a treasure!" Liu Hua whispered to himself excitedly. The surroundings were quiet, with only his faint breathing and the slight hum of the flashlight.

As he went deeper into the ancient tomb, suddenly, a ray of light caught his attention. It was an object that was gleaming with a faint light, embedded in a corner of the tomb. Liu Hua approached, feeling excited. He squatted down and carefully observed the strange object.

"What is this?" he said to himself, and lightly touched the surface of the object with his fingers, feeling a warm energy transmitted to his fingertips. The object took on a strange shape, like a small disc, and was engraved with ancient symbols.

At this moment, Chen Fang happened to walk into the tomb. She was holding an ancient book in her hand, with a curious look on her face. "Liu Hua, did you find anything?"

"Come and see this!" Liu Hua shouted excitedly, pointing at the round plate in his hand. Chen Fang approached and her eyes were instantly attracted.

"What is this? I've never seen it before." She narrowed her eyes and looked at the object carefully, frowning slightly. "These symbols seem to be some kind of ancient writing, but I can't recognize them."

"I don't know either." Liu Hua shook his head, his eyes sparkling with excitement. "But this feeling is wonderful. Do you think there is anything special about it?"

Chen Fang pondered for a moment, then reached out and gently took the disc. "I think it might be some kind of ritual utensil, or an ancient sacrificial item," she whispered, looking through the disc, as if looking for more clues.

"Ritual? Sacrifice?" Liu Hua was a little confused. "Could this be related to the murals we saw earlier?"

"It's very likely." Chen Fang nodded, with wisdom in his eyes. "The sacrificial scenes depicted in those murals may be directly related to this object."

Liu Hua was excited, as if he was unraveling a long history. He asked impatiently: "What should we do? Should we try to decipher these symbols?"

"I think it's possible." Chen Fang's eyes were firm, full of enthusiasm for exploration. "However, we need more information to help us understand. This disc may be the key to unlock the ancient secrets."

Liu Hua nodded, his eyes sparkling with excitement. "Then let's take it back and study it carefully."

"Wait a minute." Chen Fang suddenly stopped, a hint of hesitation on her face. "Do you think this item will have any bad effects? The ancient tomb is not a good place."

Liu Hua thought for a moment, his eyes wandering over the disc. "I think it's okay. We are all archaeologists, and we should be able to handle these things." He said confidently.

"But we still have to be careful," Chen Fang warned, with a cautious tone. "If this item is really related to ancient sacrifices, we need to respect the culture of the ancients."

"You're right." Liu Hua smiled slightly, and admired Chen Fang's wisdom. "Then let's record the location of the disk and its surroundings first, and then take it away."

The two began to get busy. Chen Fang took photos of every detail of the disc with her mobile phone and carefully recorded the surrounding murals and symbols. Liu Hua observed carefully from the side, trying to find more clues.

"The figures in these murals seem to be performing some kind of ritual." Chen Fang pointed at a painting, her voice full of excitement. "Look, those people are surrounding an altar, and the things they are holding in their hands may be the predecessor of this disc!"

"Yes, it's very interesting!" Liu Hua's eyes sparkled, his heart full of desire to explore. "We must find out the real purpose of this disc!"

As the two continued to study the ancient tomb, the mystery became more and more intense. Chen Fang and Liu Hua both felt a strong sense of mission, and they were determined to uncover the mystery of this period of history and explore the lives and beliefs of the ancients.

"We need to find more clues." Chen Fang looked up into the depths of the tomb, with a determined light in his eyes. "Perhaps, this ancient tomb has more secrets waiting for us to discover."

"That's right, we must continue the adventure!" Liu Hua responded excitedly, his eyes firm and his heart full of anticipation and determination.
