A Mysterious Journey Through the Shang Dynasty

After enjoying a sweet and warm time in the quiet valley, we are now on a long journey to find the source of light. Xiaoyan is like a lively flame, running happily in front of us, and its light steps seem to urge us to speed up. It looks back from time to time, with eyes full of expectation and eagerness, as if telling us not to slack off.

Along the way, Mo Yu held my hand tightly, his palm was warm and strong, which filled my heart with hope and courage for the future. However, the mysterious metal totem always lingered in my mind, especially its mysterious gap, which filled me with endless doubts.

After walking a long way, we finally found a quiet corner to rest. I seemed to be pulled by an invisible force, and I couldn't help but carefully take out the metal totem from the package. The totem flashed a strange light under the sunlight, as if telling an ancient story. Mo Yu saw this and slowly came over, his eyes also full of curiosity and desire to explore.

"Su Yao, are you still thinking about the gap in this totem?" Mo Yu asked softly, his voice gentle and low, like a breeze blowing past his ears.

I nodded slightly, staring at the gap on the totem, and said slowly: "This gap always makes me feel that it has a special meaning. Maybe it is one of the key clues to finding the source of light."

Together, we observed the gap of the totem with great concentration. The gap showed an extremely regular shape, with neat and smooth edges, as if it had been carefully designed by a skilled craftsman. The lines of the gap were smooth and natural, without the slightest flaw, which made people sigh at the exquisite craftsmanship. The totem as a whole exuded a mysterious and ancient atmosphere. It was made of an unknown metal, which was so smooth and shiny that it was amazing. This metal flashed a strange light in the sun, which was sometimes dazzling and sometimes soft and warm, as if it contained endless mysteries. Even I, who came from the modern world, had never seen such a strange material. Its texture was delicate and solid. When I touched it gently, I seemed to feel a powerful force flowing through my fingertips.

When we turned the totem over with awe, we were surprised to find micro-carved patterns on the back. Those patterns are extremely delicate, as if they were carefully carved on the metal with a needle tip. Each line is slender and clear, as if it is a masterpiece drawn by nature with the most delicate brushstrokes. The pattern presents an abstract style, full of mysterious lines and symbols. Those lines crisscross, like an ancient code waiting for us to decipher. The symbols are of various shapes, some are shining like stars, and some are undulating like waves, full of mysterious charm. The whole pattern seems to be a worship of a certain belief, but no matter how carefully we observe, we can't see what the object of worship is. Those abstract patterns are like mysteries in the fog, elusive, but full of endless attraction.

Mo Yu frowned and fell into deep thought. His eyes were focused and solemn, as if he was trying to unravel the secret of this mysterious totem. Suddenly, he said slowly: "Su Yao, you see this gap is so regular, it feels like this totem is part of a tool. Maybe only by finding the matching part can we truly unravel the secret of the totem."

My eyes lit up, and I felt that Mo Yu's idea made sense. "It's possible, but we don't know what the item is, and we don't know where to find it." I said helplessly, my heart full of confusion and bewilderment.

Just as we were lost in thought, Xiao Yan came over with light steps. He first circled the metal totem slowly for a few times, with a curious light in his eyes. His eyes were focused and serious, as if he was examining a precious treasure. Then, he gently touched the gap of the totem with his nose, and his movements were extremely gentle, as if he was afraid of damaging this mysterious totem. Xiao Yan's nose trembled slightly, as if he was feeling the mysterious breath emanating from the gap. Then, he raised his head and let out a crisp cry, which seemed to be full of doubts and desire to explore.

Homura lowered her head again and gently touched the edge of the gap with her horn, as if testing the depth and shape of the gap. She moved carefully, as if she was carrying out an important task. Her horn gleamed in the sunlight, echoing the mysterious atmosphere of the totem. After a while, Homura raised her head and looked at us with anticipation in her eyes. Her voice echoed in our hearts: "This totem is very mysterious, and the gap may be an important clue. We must continue to search for the answer."

At this moment, an accident happened. A drop of water splashed from nowhere and fell on the totem. In an instant, the totem seemed to be activated and began to emit a slight energy fluctuation. The fluctuation was weak at first, but soon became stronger and stronger. The light on the totem flickered, as if responding to some mysterious power. We watched this scene in amazement, our hearts filled with shock and curiosity.

Looking at this totem full of mysterious power, recalling its unknown metal material, abstract micro-carving patterns and the magical energy fluctuations, I deeply feel that there seems to be a huge fault between modern civilization and ancient civilization. In modern society, we have advanced technology and knowledge, but we know nothing about this ancient totem. The ancient civilization it represents seems to be a forgotten treasure, waiting for us to dig and explore. This fault makes me feel confused and full of challenges. How can we cross this gap to uncover the mystery of ancient civilization and find the source of light?

With Xiaoyan's encouragement, we became more confident. We decided to pay more attention to the surrounding environment during the next journey and not miss any clues that might be related to the totem gap.

We set out on our journey again, full of expectations. We know that the road to finding the source of light is still long, but we have each other's company and Xiaoyan's help, and we believe that we will find the answer. The sun shines on us, illuminating the road ahead, as if guiding us in the direction. We take firm steps and bravely walk towards the unknown.
