A Mysterious Journey Through the Shang Dynasty

After we were repelled by the power gushing out of the stone gate, we all looked at the stone gate and the mysterious creature in a daze. The low voice of the mysterious creature echoed in the empty square, as if telling something.

"What is it saying, Su Yao? Can you understand it?" I asked anxiously.

Su Yao frowned and listened attentively to the voice of the mysterious creature. After a while, she said, "It seems to be telling us that this seal is very powerful and we can't easily unlock it. Moreover, the power inside the door is very dangerous. If we are not careful, it may bring more serious consequences."

Lin Yao said with some fear: "Then what should we do? Can we still go home?" There was a hint of tears in her voice.

Mo Yu patted Lin Yao's shoulder and comforted her: "Don't worry, we will definitely find a way. Since this mysterious creature can communicate with us, maybe it knows something we don't know."

Wang Yue looked at the mysterious creature and said, "Can you help us? We really want to go home."

The mysterious creature seemed to understand what Wang Yue said, it nodded, and then turned and walked in the other direction of the square. It walked a few steps and looked back at us, as if signaling us to follow it.

"Is it taking us somewhere?" I asked doubtfully.

"Anyway, let's follow it and see. Maybe it can really help us find the way home." Mo Yu said.

So we followed the mysterious creature out of the stone gate. Along the way, the mysterious creature walked at a leisurely pace, and it looked back at us from time to time to make sure we were keeping up with it.

We passed through a narrow passage with faint lights flickering on the walls on both sides of the passage. These lights illuminated our way forward and allowed us to see the surrounding environment clearly.

"This place looks so mysterious. I wonder where the mysterious creature will take us." Lin Yao said in a low voice.

"No matter where we go, we must remain vigilant," Mo Yu reminded.

After walking for a while, we came to a spacious room filled with all kinds of strange objects, some of which glowed and some of which looked very old.

The mysterious creature walked to a corner of the room and stopped. It pointed at a pattern on the ground with its claws and then made some noises.

Su Yao observed the pattern carefully and said, "I think this pattern may be some kind of hint. Maybe it has something to do with opening the door to time and space."

"Can you understand this pattern?" I asked.

Su Yao shook her head and said, "It's not clear yet, but I feel that this pattern hides some important information. We need to study it carefully."

We gathered around the pattern and began to observe and discuss it carefully.

“Look, the lines of this pattern seem to be somewhat similar to the runes we saw before.” Wang Yue said.

"Yes, I noticed that too. Maybe there is some connection between the two." Mo Yu said.

As we discussed and tried to understand the meaning of the pattern, the mysterious creature watched us quietly, as if waiting for us to solve the puzzle.

After a while, something suddenly occurred to me. "I remember that similar pattern was mentioned in that ancient book. Should we take a look at that book again?"

"Okay, take it out and let us see it." Lin Yao said.

I took the old book out of my backpack and began to search through it. Finally, I found a pattern that was similar to the one on the ground.

"Look, that's it!" I said excitedly.

Su Yao took the book and read the text carefully. "It says that this pattern is one of the keys to open the door of time and space, but other conditions are required."

"Other conditions? What are they?" Wang Yue asked.

Su Yao continued reading the book and said, "It is mentioned above that you need to find four special gems and place them in the four corners of the pattern to activate the power of this pattern and open the door of time and space."

"Four special gems? Where are we going to find these gems?" Lin Yao said a little frustrated.

The mysterious creature seemed to understand what we said. It made some more noises and then walked out of the room.

"Is it going to take us to find gems?" I guessed.

"Maybe. Let's follow it and see." Mo Yu said.

We followed the mysterious creature and continued to move forward. Along the way, we were all thinking about how to find the four special gems. The mysterious creature took us through one room after another, and each room was full of mystery and unknown.

Finally, we arrived in front of a huge treasure house. The door of the treasure house was closed, but a strong energy wave came from inside.

"Could there be the gems we are looking for in here?" Lin Yao said excitedly.

The mysterious creature walked to the treasure house and gently touched the door with its claws. The door slowly opened and a dazzling light shot out from inside.

We walked into the treasury and were stunned by the sight. The treasury was filled with all kinds of gems, and each gem sparkled with brilliant light.

"With so many gems, how are we going to find those four special gems?" Wang Yue said a little dazzled.

Just when we were at a loss, the mysterious creature made a special sound, walked to a corner of the treasure house, picked up a gem with its claws, and handed it to us.

"Is this one of the gems we are looking for?" I took the gem and examined it carefully.

The gem sparkled in my hand, as if telling something.

Su Yao looked at the gem and said, "I think this is very likely the gem we are looking for. Maybe the mysterious creature can help us find the other three gems."

We looked at the mysterious creature with hope, expecting it to continue to help us. The mysterious creature seemed to understand what we meant, it nodded, and then started searching in the treasure house again.

However, at this moment, a low roar suddenly came from the treasure house. The sound seemed to come from the depths of the treasure house, which made people shudder.

"What's that sound?" Lin Yao grabbed my arm tightly in fear.

Mo Yu looked around vigilantly and said, "I don't know, but we have to be careful. Something dangerous may appear again."

We stood there nervously, holding our weapons tightly in our hands, ready to deal with any danger that might arise at any time. The mysterious creature also became alert, its eyes fixed on the depths of the treasure house, as if preparing for a battle...
