Chapter 404 Entering the Basement
The next morning, Su Ming took the book and visited an old man who lived in seclusion outside the city. It was said that the old man was a famous sorcerer in Longcheng, proficient in ancient spells and secret arts. Su Ming hoped to find more clues from him.
The old man's residence was deep in a bamboo forest. The hut was simple but full of ancient atmosphere. After Su Ming knocked on the door, the old man slowly opened the door, and a smile appeared on his old face: "Young man, I have expected your arrival."
Su Ming looked at the old man in surprise and bowed respectfully: "Senior, I'm here to ask you something about this book." He handed the book to the old man and looked at him expectantly.
The old man took the book, flipped through a few pages, and nodded slightly: "This is a very ancient secret book. The spells and powers in it are extraordinary. The fact that you can find it means that you are destined to it."
Su Ming nodded and asked eagerly: "Senior, is the power of traveling through time and space mentioned in this book true? I feel like I have experienced a transformation of time and space, but I need to return to my original world."
The old man pondered for a moment and said slowly: "The power in the book does exist, but it is not easy to fully master it. You need to find the 'Key of Time and Space' mentioned in the book. That is the key to unlocking all this."
"The key to time and space?" Su Ming frowned. "Where is this key? How can I find it?"
The old man closed the book, his eyes deep: "The key to time and space is not in the book, but in your heart. You need to go through various tests before you can truly understand its existence. Remember, the power of the heart is the most powerful."
Su Ming nodded thoughtfully: "Thank you, senior, I understand. I will continue to search until I find the way home."
The old man smiled and patted Su Ming on the shoulder: "Go, young man. Remember, no matter how many difficulties lie ahead, stay firm in your heart, and you will definitely find the answer."
After bidding farewell to the old man, Su Ming's heart was filled with new hope and motivation. He knew that he had to work harder to find the key to time and space. He returned to the courtyard and continued to study the book, while also beginning to pay more attention to his inner world.
As time went by, Su Ming's life in the courtyard gradually returned to normal. While helping his neighbors, he continued to explore the secrets in the book. Whenever it was late at night, he would come to the backyard alone, meditate quietly, and feel the power in his heart.
One night, when he entered a meditative state again, he suddenly felt a strong energy fluctuation. This energy surged out of his body, as if guiding him to somewhere. He followed this feeling and came to a corner of the courtyard, where he found a hidden stone slab.
Su Ming carefully lifted the stone slab, and underneath was a secret passage leading underground. He entered the secret passage without hesitation, and after a few steps, the view in front of him suddenly opened up, and a secret basement appeared in front of him.
There were many ancient artifacts and books in the basement, which was obviously a secret room that no one had known about for a long time. In the corner, he found a stone tablet with complex runes carved on it. The runes on the stone tablet echoed some of the spells in the book, which shocked Su Ming.
He carefully studied the runes on the stone tablet and gradually found that these runes seemed to contain an ancient power. After repeated deliberation, he finally deciphered part of the content: "The key to time and space is in the heart, and only a pure heart can open it."
This discovery made Su Ming very excited. He understood that he had found an important clue. As long as he continued to explore, he would definitely find the key to return to his original world.
Come out of the basement
Looking closely, scenes that did not belong to this world flashed through his eyes. After a long time, the boy's eyes gradually became clear.
Looking closely, Su Ming's eyes were flashing with scenes that did not belong to this world. Those scenes were like a movie reel playing in his mind, with strange lights and sounds, making him feel both familiar and strange.
After a long time, the boy's eyes gradually became clear. He took a deep breath, calmed the waves in his heart, and began to recall the pictures he had just seen. These pictures seemed to convey some information to him, perhaps clues about the key of time and space.
Su Ming decided to tell Uncle Li these clues, he knew that Uncle Li's wisdom and experience might be able to give him more help. He hurried back to the main room and found Uncle Li sitting under the lamp reading a book with a warm smile on his face.
"Uncle, I have something to tell you." Su Ming said anxiously.
Uncle Li put down the book, raised his head, and his eyes were full of kindness: "Xiao Ming, what's the matter?"
Su Ming told Uncle Li everything he had just discovered in the basement and the images that did not belong to this world. Uncle Li frowned and thought for a moment before slowly saying, "Xiao Ming, it seems that you have really found an important clue. Those images may be telling you something, but interpreting this information requires more wisdom and patience."
"But sir, I don't know what this information means." Su Ming was a little frustrated.
Grandpa Li patted him on the shoulder and said earnestly, "Don't be anxious, Xiaoming. Everything has its time. Perhaps this information requires you to truly understand it in a certain situation. What you have to do is to remain firm in your heart and continue to explore and think. Hope was rekindled in his heart. He decided to follow Grandpa Li's advice and continue exploring. In the next few days, he would go to the basement every day and carefully study the runes on the stone tablet and the surrounding objects, hoping to find more clues.
One night, when Su Ming entered the basement again, he found a new row of runes on a stone tablet. These runes were different from the previous ones and seemed more complicated and mysterious. Su Ming felt an inexplicable excitement, and he knew that this might be the key to solving the mystery.
He carefully observed these runes, and gradually some vague ideas came into his mind. Every pattern and line in the runes seemed to be telling some kind of ancient story. Su Ming tried to compare these runes with the contents of the book and found that there was some kind of wonderful connection between them.
Just as Su Ming was concentrating on his research, he heard light footsteps behind him. He turned around and saw that it was Uncle Li. Uncle Li walked over with a smile, and when he saw the runes on the stone tablet, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
"Xiao Ming, your efforts have paid off," said Grandpa Li. "These runes are indeed an important part of solving the mystery of time and space. But to fully understand them, more exploration and experimentation are needed."
