Chapter 22: The Secret of the Pu Clan: A Journey of Exploration at the Dawn of Light
Wumeng Tianlong snatched the high-tech multifunctional folding archaeological shovel from Elder Feng's hand, "Old Feng, this is national property! You...you should use it gently!" He checked the shovel with heartache. Fortunately, there was no damage. This thing was incredibly strong.
Elder Feng chuckled and pointed at something sticking out of the pit. "Xiao Wu, look, what is this?"
What emerged from the pit was a stone slab engraved with strange symbols.
Zhaoyang Ruyue squatted down and carefully observed the symbols on the stone slab. The more she looked, the more familiar they seemed to her. "This... this seems to be very similar to the symbols on the altar!"
"Right!" Wumeng Tianlong snapped his fingers. "Old Feng, your operation was amazing! We found a treasure!"
In the next few days, Zhaoyang Ruyue and others tried to further study the stone slab and its connection with the origin of the Pu people.
But their movements were restricted everywhere.
Although Elder Feng was much more polite to them on the surface, he secretly sent people to monitor their every move.
"Isn't this Old Feng a sinister person?" Wu Meng Tianlong muttered quietly as he hid behind a huge rock. "His people follow us wherever we go. It's so annoying!"
Zhaoyang Ruyue sighed, "There's nothing we can do. He's an elder after all. We're unfamiliar with the place, so we can only endure it."
Just when they were at a loss, a tall and strong young man came over.
His name is Chen Yong. He is a famous warrior in the tribe. He is passionate, impulsive and dares to take responsibility.
"Don't be afraid of that old stubborn man!" Chen Yongshi said firmly, "I believe in you! I believe you are not bad people!"
Chen Yong's words made Zhaoyang Ruyue and Wumeng Tianlong feel a warm current in their hearts.
It turns out that there are still people supporting them in this strange tribe.
Chen Yong also gathered some young people from the tribe. They were curious about the "new things" brought by Zhaoyang Ruyue and expressed their willingness to help them continue exploring.
With the help of these young people, the exploration activities of Zhaoyang Ruyue and others finally made new progress.
They found that the stone slab seemed to be a map with some mysterious places recorded on it.
"This map... could it be the key to the origin of the Pu tribe?" Zhaoyang Ruyue looked at the intricate routes on the map, her heart full of anticipation.
Night falls and the stars are shining.
Chen Yong quietly walked to Wumeng Tianlong, "Brother Wu..." He took out something from behind him, looking a little embarrassed.
"Brother Wu..." Chen Yong shyly took out a palm-sized wooden sculpture from behind him. The carving was rough but revealed a primitive wild beauty. "This is for you! I carved it myself." Wu Meng Tianlong was stunned for a moment, took the wooden sculpture, and took a closer look. It turned out to be a... mini version of Tyrannosaurus Rex?
"Goodness! You call this a Tyrannosaurus Rex? Are you sure it's not a distant relative of Godzilla?" He couldn't help but complain, but still solemnly accepted the gift. "Thanks, brother. This thing... is quite unique."
As soon as he finished speaking, a light figure floated over.
Wei Dancer, the most agile dancer in the tribe, landed in front of Wumeng Tianlong like a nimble butterfly.
"Brother Wu," she said softly, handing over a small ornament made of colorful feathers and shells, "This is for you..." After saying that, her cheeks flushed and she ran away.
Wumeng Tianlong looked at the exquisite little gadget in his hand, then looked at the direction where Wei Wuzhe disappeared, and was a little at a loss for a moment.
Zhaoyang Ruyue, who was hiding in the dark, couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh. This kid has quite a lot of luck in love.
With the enthusiastic help of the young people, they sorted out the ancient documents they had looted from the tribal elders, no, borrowed from them, trying to find clues related to the origin of the Pu people from the vast legends.
There are many versions of these legends. Some say that the Pu people originated from a divine dragon, some say that they are descendants of gods who descended from the sky, and still others say that they are descendants of some ancient giant beast.
It was hard to tell the truth from the falsehood, and people were confused and almost dizzy.
"This is even harder than the history questions in the college entrance examination!" Wumeng Tianlong scratched his hair, feeling that his brain capacity was seriously insufficient.
Suddenly, Zhaoyang Ruyue pointed to a passage and said excitedly: "Here! It mentions a 'singing stone'!" According to legend, this stone has mysterious power that can guide people to find the origin of the Pu people.
"A singing stone?" Wumeng Tianlong was confused. "Could this stone have become a spirit?"
"Stop joking," Zhaoyang Ruyue patted Wumeng Tianlong, "I think this clue is very important!" Just as they were about to further study this "singing stone", Craftsman Chu walked over silently, holding a strange tool in his hand and handed it to Zhaoyang Ruyue... "This is..."
Craftsman Chu remained silent and just handed the tools in his hand to Zhaoyang Ruyue.
The tool looked like a magnifying glass, but the lens was not made of glass. Instead, it was some kind of strange, polished crystal that emitted a faint fluorescence.
"Wow, this is so high-tech!" Wumeng Tianlong couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.
Zhaoyang Ruyue took the tool and pointed it at the text that read "the singing stone".
Something magical happened!
As the crystal lens moved, the originally obscure text began to glow faintly, as if coming alive, and rearranged itself to form a map!
"Oh my god, this is too good to be true!" Wu Meng Tianlong was so shocked that his jaw almost dropped. "This thing is more accurate than Baidu Maps!"
A location was clearly marked on the map, with a line of small words next to it: "When the stone speaks, the truth will be revealed." "The stone speaks? Can this stone really speak?" Wumeng Tianlong looked confused.
Zhaoyang Ruyue stared at the map thoughtfully, feeling vaguely that they were not far from the truth about the origin of the Pu people.
The exploration progressed faster, and the young people became more active in helping them, which made Elder Feng very uneasy.
With a gloomy face, he walked in front of the crowd and said in a stern tone: "You young people, don't be fooled by outsiders! Their words are not trustworthy!" Chen Yongshi was immediately furious when he heard it: "Elder Feng, what do you mean by this? Brother Wu and the others are helping us!" "Help you? Humph, I think they have ulterior motives!" Elder Feng snorted coldly, "You young people are too easily deceived by sweet words!" "You..." Chen Yongshi was furious and clenched his fists.
Just as a conflict was about to break out, a deep voice suddenly rang out... "Shut up!"
Priest Zheng walked forward slowly, exuding an aura of majesty without even being angry, which instantly calmed the situation.
"Elder Feng, your concerns are not without reason, but they shouldn't hinder our pursuit of the truth." He turned to Zhaoyang Ruyue and the others, his gaze penetrating. "Outsiders, I know you possess wisdom unmatched by ordinary people. I'm willing to give you a chance. If you can find more clues about the 'Singing Stone' within three days, I'll allow you to inspect the tribe's ancient warehouse. Perhaps the answers you seek are hidden there."
"Three days?" Wu Meng Tianlong touched his chin. "That's a bit tight, Old Zheng, you're bargaining too hard!"
Priest Zheng remained unmoved: "This is my bottom line."
Zhaoyang Ruyue nodded and agreed: "Okay, we accept this challenge." There was a confident light in her eyes, as if she had foreseen the dawn of victory.
Chen Yong clenched his fists excitedly: "Brother Wu, Sister Zhaoyang, I believe in you!" Elder Feng snorted coldly and walked away, but there was an imperceptible hint of...expectation hidden in his gloomy eyes?
A new exploration is about to begin and the door of the ancient warehouse is about to open.
With the guidance of the crystal map and the clues secretly provided by the young man, Zhaoyang Ruyue and others set out with full confidence.
Craftsman Chu followed the team silently. He took out a strangely shaped stone from his arms and held it up to the setting sun. A line of ancient words vaguely emerged on the stone.
He carefully put the stone away, quickly caught up with the team, with an elusive smile on his lips.
"Wait," before setting off, Wei Wuzhe suddenly stopped Zhaoyang Ruyue and handed her a small object wrapped in animal skin. "This may be useful to you."
Zhaoyang Ruyue opened the animal skin, and inside was a... bird feather?
She looked at Wei Dancer in confusion, but saw her smile mysteriously and turn and run away.
Night falls and the stars are shining.
In a cave not far from the Pu tribe, a dark shadow appeared silently.
"How are things going?" a deep voice asked.
"Everything is going according to plan..." replied the shadow.
