I traveled through time and became the Queen of Ancient Dian

"However," Priest Zheng stroked his beard and his eyes fell on Wumeng Tianlong, "Brother Wumeng is so smart, I believe he is also quite interested in the origin legend of our Pu tribe?" Wumeng Tianlong's heart was filled with alarm, this old fox is going to cause trouble!

He remained expressionless and replied modestly, "I do have great respect for the history and culture of the nobility, but..."

Priest Zheng waved his hand without waiting for him to finish and said: "In this case, why don't we let Brother Wumeng interpret the ancient prophecy for us?" Wumeng Tianlong almost vomited blood. Interpret the prophecy?

How could he do that!

This old man definitely did it on purpose!

Elder Feng added sarcastically, "Yes, young man, this is a rare opportunity, do your best!" Zhaoyang Ruyue and Baona looked at each other and saw worry in each other's eyes.

Wumeng Tianlong went ahead and started his "serious nonsense" performance.

He combined the knowledge he had learned previously with his own understanding and explained those obscure prophecies in a fantastic way, leaving everyone stunned.

Elder Feng tried to sabotage him several times, but he was able to resolve the situation skillfully.

Finally, Wumeng Tianlong even "predicted" the future development of the tribe, and his words were so convincing that everyone was completely impressed.

Priest Zheng nodded with satisfaction: "Yes, Brother Wumeng is indeed a genius! It seems that the future of our Pu tribe is bright!" Elder Feng's face turned pale, but he could not find any reason to refute, so he could only grit his teeth in secret.

Although they passed the test, the stubborn Elder Feng still made things difficult for them at every turn, under the pretext of "protecting tribal secrets."

They had no access to important places and people in the tribe, and the search progressed slowly, making the three of them anxious like ants on a hot pan.

Just when they were at a loss, the craftsman Chu found them secretly.

"Shh, follow me." He said mysteriously, pointing to a hidden path, "There... may be what you are looking for."

"Really?" Zhaoyang Ruyue asked in surprise.

Chu Gong nodded and said in a low voice, "Few people go there. It is said that... there is a legend about the origin of the Pu people..." He paused and added, "However, there..."

Chu Gong lowered his voice and said mysteriously: "But, that place... is haunted!" Zhaoyang Ruyue and Wumeng Tianlong looked at each other, and saw an expression in each other's eyes that said "This old man must be kidding us."

Haunted?

Please, they are archaeology graduate students in the 21st century, they have to follow the rules even when using memes!

However, when Mr. Chu brought them to the so-called "haunted" place, they realized that it was not a haunted place, but a place infested with insects!

The corner was covered with dust and cobwebs, the environment was gloomy, and the air was filled with a musty smell. It was simply a happy home for insects.

All kinds of weird little bugs crawling around in the corners make people's scalps tingle.

Zhaoyang Ruyue suppressed her goosebumps and carefully looked through the miscellaneous items piled in the corner.

Suddenly, a brightly colored little bug swooped down towards her.

In the blink of an eye, Zheng Xiongxiong, who was standing by, was quick to slap the insect away.

"Be careful!" he shouted nervously, "This bug is poisonous!"

After being slapped away, the insect seemed to be angry and turned to attack Zheng Xiongxiong.

Zheng Xiongxiong is worthy of being a warrior in the tribe. He is agile and nimble in dodging the attacks of insects.

He seized the opportunity, wrapped the insect with a piece of cloth, and then swung it hard, throwing it far away.

Zhaoyang Ruyue and Wumeng Tianlong watched with trepidation, and only breathed a sigh of relief when the danger was over.

Zhaoyang Ruyue looked at Zheng Xiongxiong gratefully. Just as she was about to express her gratitude, she suddenly noticed something glimmering in the direction Zheng Xiongxiong had thrown it… “Wait,” she pointed in that direction, her tone filled with a hint of disbelief, “What is that?”

Zhaoyang Ruyue looked at Zheng Xiongxiong gratefully, and Zheng Xiongxiong smiled naively, revealing two rows of big white teeth.

"It's just a small matter, not worth mentioning!" He scratched his head and said honestly, "As warriors of our tribe, it is our duty to protect everyone!" This experience of sharing life and death quickly warmed the friendship between the archaeological team members and the tribal warriors, and it was like a revolutionary friendship of "carrying guns together and studying in the same class together."

Zhaoyang Ruyue looked in the direction where Zheng Xiongxiong threw the poisonous insect. The faint light was particularly eye-catching in the dim corner.

The three of them approached cautiously, pushing aside the dense weeds, their heartbeats quickening.

Good guy!

What appeared before their eyes was not gold, silver or treasure, but a stone wall hidden behind weeds and vines.

On the stone wall, there is a huge mural!

Although the colors of the murals have faded, one can still see their former glory.

It is depicted with all kinds of strange patterns and symbols, including human figures, animal figures, and various abstract lines, full of mystery.

Zhaoyang Ruyue and Wumeng Tianlong looked at each other and saw excitement in each other's eyes.

The style of this mural is extremely similar to the murals they had seen before in the ruins of the ancient Dian Kingdom. It may be the key clue they have been looking for about the origin of the Pu people!

"Fuck! This wave is worth it!" Wu Meng Tianlong couldn't help but curse. Of course, he quickly realized his mistake and coughed lightly, saying in an academic tone, "This... this mural has extraordinary artistic value and historical significance!"

Although Zheng Xiongxiong didn't understand what they were saying, he could feel their excitement.

He asked naively, "Is this... this painting a good thing?"

Zhaoyang Ruyue nodded excitedly: "Yes! This is a priceless treasure!" She carefully brushed off the dust on the mural, staring intently at the patterns and symbols on it, trying to decipher their meaning.

Suddenly, her hand stopped.

"What's wrong?" Wumeng Tianlong noticed her abnormality and asked hurriedly.

Zhaoyang Ruyue pointed at the lower right corner of the mural, her face solemn: "Look... there's a piece missing!"

Wumeng Tianlong took a closer look and found that there was indeed a large part missing from the lower right corner of the mural, just like a delicious pizza that had been bitten into, which was extremely uncomfortable to look at.

"Oh my god! This is too deceptive!" He couldn't help but complain, "He failed at the critical moment. What's the fun in that?"

Zheng Xiongxiong was confused and scratched his head. "It's missing...what's wrong with it? The craftsmen in our tribe are amazing. They can fix it!"

Zhaoyang Ruyue smiled bitterly: "Brother Zhou, this is not just an ordinary wall repair, this is... well, how should I put it, this is like the last page of an epic masterpiece has been torn off, do you know how maddening it is?"

Wumeng Tianlong nodded in agreement. "That's right! This missing piece could very well be the key to uncovering the origins of the Pu people! It's like playing a game and defeating a boss. Just when you're about to get a legendary piece of gear, the server suddenly crashes. How can you not be upset?"

The three of them fell into silence as they looked at the incomplete mural.

The atmosphere was a little solemn for a moment, as if the air had solidified.

"Wait!" Zhaoyang Ruyue's eyes suddenly lit up, as if she had thought of something. "The missing mural doesn't mean the clues are gone! Maybe there are still relevant clues somewhere else!"

Wumeng Tianlong also perked up: "That's right! We can't just rely on one tree to hang ourselves! Maybe this tribe has other murals, documents, or even... legends passed down orally!"

The two looked at each other excitedly, as if they saw the dawn of hope.

"Brother Zhou," Zhaoyang Ruyue turned to Zheng Xiongxiong, "Can you take us to other places in the tribe? Maybe... we can find other clues!"

Although Zheng Xiongxiong didn't understand what he was saying, he readily agreed: "No problem! I'll take you there! There are many magical places in our tribe!"

The three of them rekindled their fighting spirit and prepared to continue exploring the secret of the Pu tribe's origin.

However, just as they turned around to leave, Zhaoyang Ruyue took a casual glance and found that a corner of the animal skin bag on Zheng Xiongxiong's waist was exposed...a familiar pattern.

"Brother Zhou..." Zhaoyang Ruyue's voice trembled a little, "You...what is that?"
