A Mysterious Journey Through the Shang Dynasty

The sacred hall, like a mysterious sleeping castle, is filled with an ancient and solemn atmosphere. The tall stone pillars stand tall like giants, casting a mysterious shadow as deep as ink, as if they are silent guards carved by the hand of time. On the ancient walls, the marks of time are like mysterious runes, silently telling the legends of the past buried by time. Everyone gathered here, their eyes locked on the mysterious combination totem, full of doubts and ardent expectations. At this time, the totem is silent as a mystery. Although it has not revealed any special power, the mysterious atmosphere that is faintly emitted makes everyone firmly believe that there must be a shocking secret behind it that is enough to shake the world.

I stood side by side with Mo Yu, our eyes were like torches, and we carefully examined every detail of the totem again, hoping to find the key clues to activate it. Each family sent out the most intelligent clansmen, who were like wise men exploring the unknown, and expressed their own opinions. Some people speculated that a specific ceremony was required to activate the totem, and that ceremony might be like ancient magic, full of mysterious power.

In my imagination, the specific ceremony may be on a full moon night, when the silver light spreads all over the earth, and everyone wears ancient robes, holds mysterious instruments, and walks around the totem with a specific pace and rhythm. Every step seems to be stepping on a mysterious rhythm, resonating with a certain power between heaven and earth. During the ceremony, there will be ancient chanting, the sound is low and melodious, as if it comes from the ancient call. The chanting words are ancient and obscure, containing mysterious power, which can awaken the sleeping totem. Or when a specific constellation is arranged, everyone stands according to the position of the constellation, gathers their own power on the totem, and activates the mysterious power of the totem through the power of the stars.

Some people boldly speculate that a special energy source may be needed, and that energy source may come from a mysterious other world, containing endless mysteries. This special energy source may come from the spiritual spring water in the mysterious valley. The spring water flashes with mysterious light and contains pure and powerful energy. When the spring water touches the totem, it can stimulate the hidden power in the totem and make it shine brightly. Or it may come from the mysterious crystal in the ancient ruins. The crystal contains ancient power. When combined with the totem, it can release powerful energy fluctuations and activate the function of the totem.

During the exploration, we placed the totem in various fantasy places. The sun shone down like a golden waterfall, and the light seemed to have a mysterious power surging; the moonlight was like a silver veil, as if it brought the call of ancient times; in the mysterious cave, darkness and mystery intertwined, as if hiding unknown secrets. However, the totem remained motionless, like a sleeping beast, waiting for the moment to be awakened.

Time passed quietly, like a silent stream, and some people gradually felt anxious and disappointed. "Will all our efforts go to waste?" Someone sighed in a low voice, and the sound echoed in the silent hall like a lost ghost. But Mo Yu and I firmly believed that as long as we did not give up, we would find a way to activate the totem. Our faith was like a burning flame, illuminating the way forward.

Just as everyone was lost in confusion, a flash of inspiration suddenly occurred to me, and I remembered that the totem had a weak energy fluctuation after it touched the water. This memory passed through my mind like a bright meteor, and instantly gave me hope. I hurriedly told everyone about this amazing discovery, and everyone's eyes were once again filled with the blazing fire of expectation.

We decided to try to activate the totem with water again. We carefully sprinkled some water on the totem, and the water drops were like crystal gems. However, there was no reaction at first, and everyone's heart was hanging again, as if it was tightly held by the hand of fate. But just when everyone was about to be disappointed, the totem flashed a little light, like the bright stars in the night sky, although not dazzling, but it brought endless hope. The light seemed to be a call from ancient times, and a mysterious power surged in people's hearts.

Everyone was surprised and delighted, and speculated on the meaning of this change. Some thought it was just the beginning, and there would be a stronger reaction later, as if a storm was brewing that was about to sweep across the world; others worried that this was only a temporary phenomenon that would soon disappear, like a beautiful bubble that would be fleeting.

Mo Yu and I stared at the totem, full of expectation. We decided to try boldly and slowly put the totem into the water. When the totem was completely immersed in the water, a miracle happened instantly. Each pattern of the totem emitted a faint blue light, which was deep and mysterious, as if the ancient mysterious power was awakened. The whole hall was shrouded in this blue light, like a dream, as if entering a mysterious world. The ancient stone pillars appeared even more mysterious under the reflection of the blue light, and the marks on the wall seemed to come alive, telling an even older story, which seemed to come from a distant time and space, full of mystery and legend.

Just as everyone was immersed in this mysterious scene, a holographic image was projected from the core of the totem. A solemn old man slowly emerged, as if he had come from the abyss of time, carrying with him a mysterious aura that had been precipitated over the years. The old man was wearing ancient clothing, the material of which was like silk but not silk, like gauze but not gauze, and it was flashing with a strange light, like the light of stars. It was embroidered with delicate and mysterious patterns, which seemed to be ancient magic runes, containing endless mysteries. His hair was like snow, but not messy at all, and was neatly combed to the back of his head. Every strand of hair seemed to be telling an ancient story, and that story seemed to have traveled through thousands of years.

His face was covered with traces of time, but his eyes were as deep as the vast starry sky. There was a gleam of wisdom in his eyes, as if he could see through the essence of everything in the world. His eyes were both calm and sharp, and made people feel awe the moment they looked into his eyes, as if they were facing a god from ancient times.

The old man stood there quietly, his posture as straight as a pine tree, exuding an inviolable majesty. His hands hung slightly at his sides, his fingers slender and powerful, as if he once held endless power. His presence filled the entire hall with a mysterious and solemn atmosphere, as if time had slowed down around him and fell into eternal stillness.

The old man looked at everyone quietly, and after a moment he said, "You have activated the Dynasty Beacon. Now you can ask me questions and I will answer them for you."

Everyone looked at each other, their hearts filled with shock and curiosity. Everyone began to think about what key questions to ask, because this might be an important opportunity to unlock the secrets of the totem and find a way to fight the Shadow Alliance. At this moment, the entire hall was immersed in a tense and expectant atmosphere, as if a turning point in history was about to happen at this moment, and a legend that shook the world was about to begin.
