Chapter 177 176 The Relic Dynasty in the Desert

The old man thought deeply and said: "You should continue to investigate and explore. These discoveries may be just the tip of the iceberg. I will study the materials you provided here and try to decipher more clues."

Just as they were discussing their next plan, there was a sudden shaking sound from the edge of the town. A group of soldiers lined up neatly and attracted everyone's attention. This team consisted of five hundred elite Qin troops. They were well-equipped and marched in unison, showing awe-inspiring military power.

At the front of the team, riding horses were two young generals with majestic looks and sharp eyes. The leader was Meng Tian, ​​who was wearing exquisite armor, holding a spear, and looked majestic. Next to him is Mengyi, also well-equipped, with a calm and determined demeanor.

Seeing this scene, the villagers stopped what they were doing and pointed. An old villager exclaimed: "Look, the Qin army's troops! These two young generals are so heroic!"

Another villager also joined the discussion: "Yes, they are the legendary Meng Tian and Meng Yi, heroes of the Qin State. I heard that they are unbeatable on the battlefield!"

Ji Chen looked at this spectacular team and said to A Liang and Dong'er: "These are the elite troops of the Qin State. It seems that they have an important mission. We'd better not attract their attention."

Meng Tian and Meng Yi led the team to march slowly, their eyes scanning the surroundings, obviously looking for some important place or person.

Ji Chen decided to temporarily avoid Qin Jun's sight with his disciples, and they quietly returned to the inside of the academy. Ji Chen said to Dr. Li: "It seems that our expedition may be involved in a larger political situation. We need to be more careful."

The old man nodded in agreement: "That's true. The appearance of Qin Jun may mean that something is brewing. You'd better keep a low profile and avoid getting involved in unnecessary trouble."

Although A Liang and Dong'er were curious about the appearance of the Qin army, they also understood the seriousness of the situation. They decided to focus on their research for the time being while remaining alert to their surroundings.

A few days later, Ji Chen and his disciples, with the help of Dr. Li, finally had a preliminary interpretation of some hieroglyphs. These words seem to describe the rise and fall of an ancient dynasty and the legend of a great king.

Aliang said excitedly: "Master, should we continue to explore that lost dynasty based on these clues?"

Ji Chen nodded: "Yes, but we need to proceed with caution. I'm worried that our discovery may attract the attention of some forces."

Just as they were planning their next move, an unexpected visitor appeared in front of the academy. This visitor was none other than Meng Tian. He came to the academy with a few soldiers. He obviously had something important to do.

Meng Tian went directly to Ji Chen. Although his attitude was polite, his tone showed unquestionable firmness: "Master, I heard that you have made important discoveries in the desert. The State of Qin is very interested in this. I hope you can Work with me.”

Realizing the seriousness of the situation, Ji Chen decided to communicate frankly with Meng Tian while also protecting his disciples and their findings.

Ji Chen replied: "We did find some ancient ruins in the desert. But we are still researching and have not yet reached a definite conclusion."

Meng Tian looked at Ji Chen sharply: "I understand your caution, but the State of Qin is very interested in these discoveries. If you are willing to cooperate with us, we will provide the necessary support and protection."

Ji Chen thought for a while and finally said: "I am willing to cooperate with you, but there is one condition - our research must remain independent and free from outside interference."

Meng Tian nodded: "This is acceptable. Qin's purpose is to discover and protect our historical heritage, and we will respect your research."

In this way, Ji Chen and his disciples began to cooperate with the Qin army. They continued their research while being protected by the Qin army.

With the assistance of the Qin army, Ji Chen, A Liang and Dong'er prepared to go to the center of the desert to explore the ruins of the lost dynasty. Meng Tian dispatched a small team of elite soldiers to ensure their safety during the expedition. Before departure, Meng Tian summoned everyone and made a brief pre-war arrangement. He said seriously: "This mission is extremely important. We will go deep into unknown areas of the desert. Everyone must remain vigilant and obey orders."

Ji Chen nodded to express his understanding and said to Aliang and Dong'er: "This expedition may be more dangerous than any previous one. We must strictly observe discipline and follow General Meng's arrangements."

The group began a long journey. They crossed the undulating sand dunes and faced the test of the scorching sun and windy sand. The vastness and desolation of the desert make people feel both shocked and insignificant.

A Liang looked at the boundless desert around him and sighed: "The desert is so spectacular. Its vastness makes people awe-inspiring."

Dong'er nodded and added: "But it is also full of dangers. We must always be vigilant."

After several days of trekking, they finally reached their target location. Under a seemingly calm sand dune, there is an ancient ruins entrance hidden.

Meng Tian ordered the soldiers to set up a guard on the periphery, and Ji Chen led A Liang and Dong'er to carefully enter the ruins.

What they saw was shocking: the ruins of an ancient city loomed in the desert, and the dilapidated buildings and sculptures revealed their former glory in the wind and sand.

Ji Chen sighed: "This used to be a prosperous city, but now there are only traces of history left."

A Liang observed the surroundings carefully and said: "Every brick and tile here may hide ancient secrets."

They began exploring the site, recording every detail. In the center of the city are the remains of a magnificent palace, whose former glory can still be seen in its ruins.

Dong'er discovered a series of complex reliefs on a wall, and she shouted: "Master, come and see here! These reliefs seem to tell a story."

Ji Chen walked over and observed the relief carefully. "These reliefs may depict the history of this dynasty. They may be the key to our understanding of this ancient civilization."

The story carved on the relief seems to describe the glorious history of this ancient dynasty and the legendary career of a heroic monarch. Ji Chen, A Liang and Dong'er studied each relief carefully, trying to interpret the story inside.

The first relief depicts a prosperous city with busy and happy people. The market is filled with all kinds of goods, artists perform on the street, and children play in the square. The city was clearly a trading center, communicating with merchants from all over.

The second relief shows a grand celebration in which the residents of the city gather together to celebrate. In the middle is a young king, dressed in gorgeous clothes, smiling and waving to the people. The king was surrounded by his courtiers and nobles, whose expressions were solemn and respectful.

The third relief transforms into a battle scene. The king is wearing battle armor and riding on a war horse, leading his army heroically. They fought fiercely with the enemy, and the king was brave enough to lead the charge.

Several subsequent reliefs depict the king's many exploits: he put down rebellions on the frontiers, established peace treaties with neighboring countries, and introduced new technologies and knowledge that made the country more prosperous.

The last relief is the king's farewell. The old king sat peacefully in a magnificent palace, surrounded by his descendants and courtiers. The king's face was peaceful, as if he was content and proud of his life.
