Heroes of Troubled Times: Chronicles of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms

Zhu Wen thought:"Maybe this jade pendant is the key to opening the Valley of Forgetfulness."

Everyone became very interested in this and discussed the next action.

"There seem to be some other words on the jade pendant."Huang Ying observed carefully

"Yes, I found four directions engraved on it. Zhu Wen said, pointing to the words on the jade pendant.

"Four directions? Zhu Dali asked curiously:"What does this mean?""

Medical officer Bian Yong thought hard, trying to understand the meaning engraved on the jade pendant.

Suddenly, he seemed to have thought of something, and a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes:"Perhaps, these four directions refer to our four key positions in the Valley of Forgetfulness."

After everyone listened to the medical officer's explanation, a glimmer of hope suddenly rose in their hearts.

"So what should we do now? Huang Ying asked.

Zhu Wen thought for a moment and decided to propose:"We can go to these four directions in order to see if there are any further clues.""

Everyone agreed to the plan, and they set off again to start a new adventure.

They first chose the east, passing through dense woods and winding paths.

The roars of wild beasts came from the distance, and a tense atmosphere enveloped them. Looking at the entire environment.

Finally, they came to the target location in the east. This was a deep valley with a bottomless cave, giving people the illusion that they would be sucked into the abyss if they moved forward.

Huang Ying looked around warily:" This place does look weird. We must pay attention to guard against possible crises."

Next, they arrived at three directions: south, west, and north. Each place was full of mystery and unknown. In the south, they faced a mysterious lake with quiet water, as if it contained endless secrets. In the south, they faced a mysterious lake with quiet water, as if it contained endless secrets.

In the west, they came to a gorge surrounded by towering rock walls. The howling mountain wind gave people an insurmountable feeling.

In the north, they passed through a dense jungle with lush vegetation and strange insect sounds. People shuddered.

Everywhere they went, they carefully searched for clues, hoping to find clues to solve the mystery.

Finally, when they returned to the starting point, medical officer Bian Yong discovered a small switch.

He gently Press the switch, and a small box pops up on the side of the jade pendant.

"This is... a key! Medical officer Bian Yong said in surprise.

Everyone nervously observed the key in the small box, hoping it would give them a hint.

There were several Chinese characters engraved on the key:"Frost Gate""

"Frost Gate? This may be the deeper secret of the Valley of Forgetfulness." Zhu Wen pondered.

Huang Ying stared at the key, thinking about possible clues:"Maybe this is the entrance to the deeper part of the Valley of Forgetfulness on the fifth floor underground."

Everyone looked at Medical Officer Bian Yong with expectation, hoping that he could solve this mystery.

Medical Officer Bian Yong stared at the key in his hand with a serious expression:"We still need more information to determine the specific identity of this Frost Gate. Location. We must continue to explore and find more clues."

Zhu Dali and his partners continued to explore the five-layer underground Valley of Forgetfulness, looking for clues leading to the Frost Gate. They passed through dense woods, climbed steep rocks, and moved forward in the ever-changing environment.

Tree shadows The sun shines on them through the leaves, giving them a mysterious and quiet feeling

"We must be careful, the Frost Gate must be hidden in a special place. Zhu Wen reminded.

Huang Ying looked around and noticed a bunch of flowers that looked different:"These flowers... seem to exude a cold breath." Zhu

Dali walked closer to the flowers and gently touched one of the petals:"Indeed, this is a rare frost flower.""

As his hand touched the petals, a chill spread throughout his body, as if time had stopped at this moment.

Suddenly, the ground began to shake, and the sound of avalanches on the cliff seemed to ring in his ears. A huge ice wall rose from the ground, surround them

"careful! This is an ice wall and we must find a way to break through it!"Medical officer Bian Yong warned loudly.

Everyone looked around nervously, trying to find a chance to escape.

Suddenly, Zhu Dali noticed a glimmer of light coming through the ice wall. He quickly walked towards the light and found that it was an extremely delicate ice sculpture.

"This ice sculpture looks like a deer! Zhu Dali said in surprise.

Medical officer Bian Yong took a closer look and thought for a moment:"Maybe this ice sculpture is a clue to the Frost Gate." Huang

Ying asked curiously:"Then what should we do?" Zhu

Wen stared at the ice wall and ice sculpture, thinking:"Maybe we need to break this ice sculpture, or there is some special way to trigger the opening of the Frost Gate.""

Zhu Dali raised the sword in his hand and aimed it at the ice sculpture.

"boom!"With a loud noise, the ice sculpture was shattered, and the ice wall immediately began to tremble.

Everyone took a step back defensively, and the ice wall slowly fell, revealing a dark passage.

"quick! This is the Frost Gate!"Medical Officer Bian Yong shouted excitedly.

They passed through the gaps between the ice walls and came to the secret passage leading to the Frost Gate. The secret passage was getting colder and colder, with frost condensing on the walls, as if they had entered another world..

When they arrived at the door, they found that the door was inlaid with a piece of frozen stairs. It seemed that the door could only be opened by touching the correct sequence.

Zhu Dali looked around carefully and suddenly noticed tiny lines carved on the ice under his feet.

He lowered his head and listened. , like deciphering a secret code

"These lines seem to represent musical notes. Zhu Dali frowned,"We need to walk in the correct order of notes." Medical officer Bian Yong closed his eyes and recited the notes silently in his heart:"Dong, click, click, oh, hum, chirp"……"

He gradually found the order and led everyone to walk quietly along the lines on the ice.

They took every step carefully, fearing that they would lose their footing and break the secret of the Frost Gate.

When they reached the last step, a sound of birdsong came from behind the door, and the door slowly opened.

A cold and mysterious hall opened in front of them, exuding a suffocating atmosphere.

Medical officer Bian Yong forced out a smile:"We finally arrived at the Frost Gate."

As soon as she stepped into the lobby of the Frost Gate, Huang Ying suddenly felt a strange energy surging in her body, and her figure began to change. tremble under control

"what happened?! Huang Ying shouted in panic.

Medical officer Bian Yong quickly stepped forward to stabilize her body and said in a calm voice:"Huang Ying, calm down!" This is the onset of your spell."

Huang Ying tried hard to suppress the panic in her heart. She knew clearly that if she lost control, her friends around her would be in great danger.

At this moment, a majestic and ferocious roar suddenly came from the distance.

Everyone Looking warily, several huge snow leopards appeared in the distance, roaring towards them with fierce eyes.

Zhu Wen tightly held the sword in his hand:"These are the snow leopards attracted by Huang Ying's spell! We must deal with this carefully. Medical officer Bian Yong stood in front of Huang Ying, staring firmly at the approaching snow leopard:"We must stop them and protect Huang Ying." Zhu

Dali raised the shield in his hand and prepared to fight:"Whether it's a curse or a snow leopard, we must defeat them.""

The snow leopard gradually approached, huge and agile, like a fast white lightning.

Everyone prepared to respond, their bodies motionless, waiting for the best opportunity.
