I am a winner with Chinese poetry

This suggests that the men in black who hadn't managed to escape that day must have gathered here. However, what was strange was that among the numerous corpses, Gu Tianchao was nowhere to be seen. Could it be that his prediction was correct, and that the mysterious man rummaging through the corpses for supplies was Gu Tianchao?

That day, the unchanging landscape began to change. Numerous dilapidated buildings began to appear on both sides of the road. They had clearly weathered the passage of time. Most of the structures had long been buried under thick yellow sand, leaving only a few standing alone in the vast sea of ​​sand, like indomitable watchmen.

"It's incredible that there are traces of human life in the Jedi!" Gu Yunzhou murmured to himself, with shock and confusion in his eyes. As far as he knew, he had never seen a similar record in any ancient book. If this were to be spread to the outside world, it would definitely cause an uproar.

Although most buildings had been mercilessly buried by the rolling yellow sand, Gu Yunzhou could still clearly see that he was walking on an extremely wide street. On both sides of the road stood rows of densely packed, staggered houses, their number so large that they resembled layered fish scales.

One can imagine that in the distant past, this place must have been bustling with people and traffic. However, time has changed, and now all that remains is a desolate ruin consisting of broken walls and broken walls, which is truly a cause for regret.

Gu Yunzhou, filled with curiosity, walked slowly along this once bustling street. Suddenly, a magnificent giant statue and a solemn and majestic altar came into his sight.

The base of this colossal statue is largely covered by thick yellow sand, but the upper facial features are not much obscured. However, due to a long period of neglect, the face, which was probably once meticulously carved, now looks a little blurry, as if covered by a mysterious veil.

Gu Yunzhou curiously approached the statue and examined it closely. It depicted a strange woman he had never seen before. She appeared to be in her early twenties, with a beautiful face and graceful demeanor. Her long hair, cascading like a waterfall, was simply tied up in a simple, elegant bun, making her appear even more elegant and refined.

What attracts people's attention the most are her eyes. They are like a pool of warm spring water, shimmering with light, revealing endless tenderness and kindness; they also seem to contain compassion for all things in the world, which can move people at a glance.

Looking down, I saw the woman's hands gently clasping an exquisitely crafted kettle. The spout of the kettle was slightly tilted, as if clear, sweet water would flow out at any moment, bringing a touch of vitality and coolness to this desolate desert.

Gu Yunzhou slowly walked around the statue, trying to find some other special clues or marks, but unfortunately, he didn't find anything new. Then, he cast his eyes around the altar.

Scattered around the altar were numerous unknown ashes, piled together to form a small hill. Even though some of them were now buried by the swirling yellow sand, the exposed ashes were still shocking. The ashes were so numerous that at one point they even exceeded the height of the altar itself, leading one to wonder what had happened here.

At this moment, Gu Yunzhou suddenly noticed something unusual. Behind the altar, there was a small area that appeared exceptionally clean and tidy, as if someone had meticulously cleaned it not long ago. This discovery immediately piqued Gu Yunzhou's interest. He quickly walked over to the area, squatted down, and began to observe carefully.

I saw the solemn and majestic altar standing tall, and underneath its base were carefully carved many lines of various shapes, incredible lines and some mysterious patterns that had never been seen before.

There are several areas that have obviously been deliberately wiped compared to other places. The thick yellow sand that originally covered them has completely disappeared, replaced by an unusually clean surface. It is obvious that someone cleaned them not long ago.

Seeing this, Gu Yunzhou's heart couldn't help but move slightly. Several thoughts flashed through his mind, and he seemed to have some vague guesses. So, he calmed down and once again focused on carefully observing the places that had been wiped clean.

After a moment, he finally made up his mind, slowly stretched out his right hand, and gently pressed down on the places that caught his attention.

Just as his palms touched those seemingly ordinary places, there was a sudden, loud "boom" and the entire ground began to shake violently, accompanied by a deafening roar, as if a giant beast had awakened and roared deep in the earth. Gu Yunzhou's face changed drastically, and out of instinct, he retreated quickly and without hesitation.

Almost instantly, several icy arrows flashed like lightning from where he had been standing, whizzing past with unparalleled force. If he hadn't dodged in time, he would have been turned into a hedgehog by this dense rain of arrows!

Gu Yunzhou looked at the arrows deeply embedded in the ground with lingering fear, a chill in his eyes. However, he did not act rashly at this moment. Instead, he stood quietly a few steps away from the cave entrance, paying close attention to the movements around him.

This went on for quite a while, until the roar gradually died down and all the noises disappeared completely, then the pitch-black hole that appeared due to the triggering of the mechanism finally appeared completely before his eyes.

The cave entrance was like a giant, winding python, extending deep into the ground. Gu Yunzhou stood above and looked down, only to see the pitch-black darkness below, bottomless and indestructible, like an endless black hole, swallowing up all light.

After a moment's thought, Gu Yunzhou decided to return to the building area he had just passed to search for something useful. After a painstaking search, he finally found a few relatively well-preserved bluestone slabs among the ruins. These slabs looked like they had been used by the residents of this area to pave the road.

Although his Wen Palace was now sealed, and his Wen Qi could no longer be mobilized at will, his physical fitness had long been enhanced by the nourishment of Wen Qi, surpassing that of ordinary mortals. Lifting these heavy bluestones might be a struggle for others, but for Gu Yunzhou, it was no problem.
