A Mysterious Journey Through the Shang Dynasty

Chapter 101: First Entering the Ruins

After a long and arduous journey, the exploration team finally arrived at the mysterious ruins of the Lingyun Dynasty. When the ancient and magnificent outline appeared before everyone's eyes, an indescribable shock surged into their hearts like a tide.

Everyone stood quietly at the entrance of the ruins, their eyes firmly attracted by the scene before them. The huge stone gate stood tall, and the exquisite reliefs on the doorposts seemed to be a story woven by time. The ancient mythical beasts and mysterious runes seemed to whisper the former glory and honor of the Lingyun Dynasty. Although the color of the stone gate was mottled and the marks of time were clearly visible, the majestic and solemn atmosphere still came to the face.

On both sides of the stone gate, tall stone walls are like silent guards. On the stone wall, vines are winding like green ribbons. If you touch it gently, you can feel a hint of softness in the toughness. The surface of the vines is slightly rough, and the slight coolness seems to tell the vicissitudes of the long years. The moss is like a soft carpet, covering the surface of the stone wall. If you touch it with your fingers, the delicate and moist feeling seems to make you feel the traces of time. The sunlight shines through the dense branches and leaves on the stone wall, forming patches of mottled light and shadow, like dancing fragments of time. Occasionally, a few unknown small flowers will poke their heads out of the cracks in the stone wall, adding a touch of vitality to this ancient relic.

The ground at the entrance is paved with huge stone slabs, which are engraved with complex patterns and symbols. Although they are a little blurred, the exquisite craftsmanship of the time can still be felt. In the gaps between the stone slabs, the tender green grass sways gently in the breeze, as if welcoming the arrival of the exploration team.

In front of the entrance is a wide passage. The top of the passage is made of huge stones, and cracks appear in some places. Occasionally, a few rays of sunlight shine through the cracks, forming mysterious beams of light. These beams of light constantly change their positions and shapes with the breeze and the drifting of clouds, sometimes lengthening, sometimes shortening, and sometimes twisting, like a smart elf dancing. When the sunlight shines through different cracks, the light and shadow in the passage will also change subtly. Some places become bright as if illuminated by a spotlight, while others fall into deeper shadows, as if hiding countless secrets.

The walls of the passage are also engraved with various patterns and symbols, some of which are blurred, while others are still clearly visible. These patterns and symbols seem to come alive in the changing light and shadow, sometimes flashing mysterious light, sometimes disappearing in the darkness, as if telling an ancient story, which makes people fall into contemplation. There are some broken stones and rubble scattered on the ground of the passage. Walking on them, you can hear the sound of light footsteps and rolling stones. The passage is filled with an old atmosphere, which is the taste of years of precipitation, which makes people feel awe.

On both sides of the passage, some broken statues stood quietly, as if silently telling the past of the Lingyun Dynasty. On one side, the statues of angels and warriors that perfectly combined attracted attention. The white wings stretched gracefully, like holy clouds, emitting soft light. The holy face was like a bright moon, emitting a peaceful glow. The solid armor on the lower body flashed a cold light, and the sharp weapon held tightly seemed to declare bravery and perseverance. On the other side, the statues of dark creatures exuded a unique atmosphere. Although the ferocious face was daunting, the unique majesty could not be ignored. The sharp claws seemed to be able to tear apart all enemies, and the strong body was like an indestructible fortress. These statues were not in a state of combat. They seemed to be loyal guards, guarding this ancient dynasty together, and each played a unique role. Their existence seemed to prove that the Lingyun Dynasty once had these two kinds of guarding forces at the same time, guarding this ancient land together.

At the end of the passage was the tightly closed door. There were intricate patterns carved on the door, and a keyhole in the middle, as if waiting for a specific key to open it. Everyone looked at the door, their hearts filled with anticipation and nervousness. They knew that the world behind the door might hide the source of light they had been looking for, or it might be full of unknown dangers.

I stood at the entrance of the ruins, feeling a lot of emotions in my heart. "Friends, we have finally arrived here after going through so much hardship. The ruins of the Lingyun Dynasty are right in front of us. Behind this door may be our goal. But we must act with caution, everything here is unknown."

Everyone's eyes were filled with anticipation and vigilance. Mo Yu held the weapon tightly in his hand and looked at the door firmly. "Be careful, everything here is unknown. We don't know what is waiting for us behind the door."

Xiao Yan walked around the crowd with light steps, and the light on her body seemed to illuminate the way forward for everyone. Jiang Yu from the Jiang family, Wang Yue from the Wang family, and representatives from other families all looked solemn, knowing that the real challenge had just begun.

The exploration team stood at the entrance, quietly staring at the mysterious door, their hearts filled with the desire to explore the unknown and a firm belief in their mission. They knew that once they inserted the key and opened the door, they would step into a brand new world, a world full of mystery and danger. But they did not retreat, they were ready to meet all challenges, and bravely moved forward for the source of light and the future of the world.
