End of the World Crisis, My Husband is from Ancient Times
Chapter 16: Clues gradually emerge
The strange space appears for the first time, and the clues gradually emerge
The cave air was thick and heavy, filled with the air of a long-forgotten past. Fan Mengmeng carefully stepped around the scattered pottery fragments, her gaze settling on a wooden box half-hidden in the shadows. The box's surface was intricately carved with patterns, revealing a long history. She gently brushed away the dust, revealing a strange symbol. It flashed through her mind like lightning, stirring a ripple.
"This... this looks like the mark in my house!" Fan Mengmeng muttered to herself, her heartbeat suddenly accelerating. On the wall of her house, next to the entrance to the special space, there was also a similar symbol engraved! Could there be a connection between the two?
She excitedly pointed the symbol to Teng Junze and said, "Look, does it look like it? I have a magical space at home, and there's this symbol next to the entrance!"
Teng Junze frowned slightly as he carefully examined the symbol on the wooden box. Although he didn't understand what "space" meant, from Fan Mengmeng's glint in her eyes and her rapid breathing, he sensed that the symbol meant something to her.
"How could there be such a rare thing in a girl's home?" Teng Junze asked with a hint of inquiry in his tone.
Fan Mengmeng tried to calm her excitement and briefly explained how she had discovered the special space and its magical properties. She tried to use vocabulary that Teng Junze could understand, replacing modern terms like "supermarket" and "freshness preservation" with ancient terms like "a place for rare treasures" and "the art of ice cellar storage."
Teng Junze listened to her vivid description, a flicker of surprise in his eyes. Although he still couldn't fully understand, Fan Mengmeng's erudition and insight gave him a little more trust in her. This woman was far more mysterious than he had imagined.
"Perhaps this symbol is the key to connecting the two dimensions." Fan Mengmeng's eyes gleamed with excitement, eager to verify her hypothesis. She reached out and touched the symbol on the wooden box, feeling a slight chill at her fingertips.
Seeing this, Teng Junze reached out and grabbed her wrist, "Be careful!"
The moment their fingertips touched, the air in the cave suddenly grew thicker, and an invisible force enveloped them...
A strange energy wave spread from the symbol, and Fan Mengmeng felt dizzy, as if her body was being pulled by an invisible force. She subconsciously took a step back, her face slightly pale.
"Mengmeng, what's wrong with you?" Teng Junze asked with concern, supporting her shaky body.
"I... I feel a little uncomfortable..." Fan Mengmeng took a breath and managed to steady herself. "This power... is so strange..."
Teng Junze's brow furrowed, his gaze fixed on the symbol once more. He sensed a powerful surge of energy, a force that made him uneasy yet filled with curiosity. "Perhaps we need to delve deeper," he said, approaching the wooden box once more.
"Wait!" Fan Mengmeng grabbed his sleeve, her tone filled with anxiety, "I think... this is too risky! We know nothing about this power, what if..."
Teng Junze looked at her slightly panicked expression, his tone filled with helplessness, "Mengmeng, you're too timid. We finally found the clue, how can we give up so easily?"
Fan Mengmeng bit her lower lip, feeling a little unconvinced. "I'm not timid, I'm just being cautious! Think about it, if this force is really as strong as I imagined, acting rashly will only put us in danger!"
Teng Junze was slightly taken aback. He hadn't expected Fan Mengmeng to be so persistent. He looked at her serious eyes and couldn't help but look at her differently. This seemingly fragile woman actually possessed such a clear mind and calm judgment.
"Then tell me, what should we do?" Teng Junze's tone softened, with a hint of inquiry.
Fan Mengmeng took a deep breath and tried to calm herself. "Let's analyze this first..." She pointed at the symbol. "If this symbol is truly the key connecting the two dimensions, then there must be some kind of pattern or mechanism behind it..."
Fan Mengmeng pointed at the symbol on the wooden box and analyzed it. "Look, the lines of this symbol are complex and arranged in an orderly manner. It doesn't look like random graffiti. If we think of it as a code or a map, perhaps we can find its meaning." She took out her phone and took a photo of the symbol. "I can use modern image recognition technology to analyze it and see if I can find similar patterns."
Teng Junze watched her skillfully manipulate the "artifact" in her hands, a flicker of wonder in his eyes. Although he had only a limited understanding of the "modern technology" Fan Mengmeng spoke of, he was still astonished every time he witnessed its wonders. He nodded, "Alright, if we work on multiple fronts, we might be able to find the answer faster."
Fan Mengmeng uploaded the photo to an image recognition website and quickly received the results. Several similar symbols appeared on the screen, and one caught her eye. It appeared in an archaeological document, described as the symbol of an ancient mystical sect. The article also mentioned a significant location: Hidden Moon Valley.
"Hidden Moon Valley?" Teng Junze repeated the name, his brow furrowed. "I seem to have heard this name somewhere..." He pondered for a moment, and suddenly his eyes lit up. "I remember! Legend has it that there's an ancient secret realm hidden in the Hidden Moon Valley, and it's said that there's a passage leading to another world!"
Fan Mengmeng was shocked. Could this be the entrance to the special space she was looking for? She immediately looked up the description of Hidden Moon Valley in the literature and found that it was located in a remote mountainous area in ancient times, with rugged terrain and few people.
"It seems that we have to go to Hidden Moon Valley." Teng Junze said in a firm tone, with excitement flashing in his eyes.
Fan Mengmeng was both excited and nervous. Finding the entrance was important, but she was even more worried about the consequences of opening this door to another world.
Following the records in the literature, the two began searching for the exact location of Hidden Moon Valley. After some twists and turns, they finally arrived at a seemingly ordinary courtyard. The vermilion door, the mottled walls, everything seemed so ordinary, yet the air was filled with a strange aura that made people shudder. Fan Mengmeng couldn't help but tighten her grip on Teng Junze's hand, a strange uneasiness welling up in her heart... She whispered, "Here..."
