When the local women heard their tribesmen cheering for them, they acted more enthusiastically and boldly.

Seeing that she could not lag behind the foreigners, Yueli led the plum blossoms, orchids, bamboos and chrysanthemums, learned their dance, surrounded Bai Zhong, twisted her waist and danced, and finally even Asura joined in.

Bai Zhong was not used to it at first, but he quickly adapted and responded to them.

After dancing for a while, until the local women were exhausted, the dancing around Bai Zhong ended. However, the dancing of others continued. Bai Zhong continued to look at their singing and dancing, and found something was wrong.

When the dancing men and women are done dancing, the men will hold the women's hands and walk out of the crowd into the dark night.

He thought for a moment and quickly understood that this kind of dance and this kind of show was still the local way of choosing a spouse. The main thing was that the woman took the initiative. If the man liked her, he would take her away.

As for where you will go?

Probably doing something indescribable.

The people here are very relaxed.

In fact, people in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period were also very liberal and had similar practices. For example, there are related descriptions in the "Book of Songs". If they look at each other, they can go directly into the woods and no longer describe it.

People in ancient times have always been very liberal, but as various special doctrines developed later, they became more and more restrained.

"They are..."

Yue Li also saw this scene, and finally realized what the purpose of the dance was, and her face instantly turned red with embarrassment.

Meilanzhuju and Asura's behavior at this time was also relatively unnatural. Of course, they could see through what those men and women would do next.

After the dinner was over, Bai Zhong and the others returned to their place of residence.

Kaner's arrangements are the same as those of the previous ministers.

They live in the same house.

With the ambiguity just now as a foreshadowing, Yue Li and others didn't dare to face Bai Zhong, but Bai Zhong didn't take it seriously and touched the rune pattern on the back of his hand, feeling quite heavy.

"Let's rest first."

Bai Zhong sat on one side of the room.

Six of them, on the other side.

But they didn't rest, they just sat down and practiced.

The next morning.

Bai Zhong had just finished his cultivation state when he heard a knock on the door.

Their vigilance was instantly raised, they opened the door and took a look, it turned out that Kaner was here again.

"There is news." Kaner said excitedly, "I sent people to investigate, and finally found a place where those runes appeared, which are what you want."

I don’t know whether this sentence is true or false.

But it sounds like there's something wrong with it.

They started checking yesterday and found out where it was today. It was too fast. Plus they were suspicious of Kaner, so there might be some kind of trap inside.

Bai Zhong pretended to be surprised and asked: "Where?"

"Outside the city, go northeast. There is a stone forest there."

"None of us know when or how the stone forest appeared. It existed before we had city-states."

"Those runes have appeared in the stone forest."

Kaner pointed to the northeast.

Bai Zhong said: "Thank you City Lord, we will go now."

They left the city directly and headed in that direction.

Kaner looked at their backs, thoughtfully, and then smiled maliciously.

After leaving the city, Asura asked: "I can't believe everything the city lord says."

Bai Zhong agreed: "Let's go and see first. The city lord must know something. Let's take this opportunity to draw out the problems behind him."

The stone forest is more than ten miles away from the city.

They speeded up and soon arrived at the place.

The stones here stand up like a forest, and the stone forest is worthy of its name.

"Is this right here?"

Bai Zhong and the others first looked around for a while and found that there was no danger outside.

Yue Li asked: "Do you want to go in?"

Bai Zhong said: "For the sake of the curse, go in! But be careful and stay with me as much as possible."

Entering the Stone Forest.

It was very peaceful inside, with nothing else but stones, layers upon layers of stones, and the exposed surface had become very smooth after being exposed to wind, rain, sun and rain.

However, the large amount of snow covering the stones brings a special artistic conception to the stone forest.

They were walking in the stone forest, and there was no special atmosphere around them. There seemed to be no danger, but they couldn't see the runes.

"Is there too much snow blocking our view?" Mei said.

It is possible.

Bai Zhong raised his hand and waved his spiritual power wildly, dissipating the snow, revealing the stone forest itself. They continued to search for the rune patterns, but soon they found the pattern on the tallest stone pillar in the center.

"Here!"

Bamboo was first discovered.

They all walked towards the stone pillar.

That rune was engraved on the stone pillar. In addition to the runes, there were also many characters. The engraved characters were not like those of the Mayans, but a bit like oriental oracle bone inscriptions.

"This is a kind of writing that is even older than the Shang and Zhou dynasties."

Yueli has done some research on ancient characters.

But they were surprised.

On the other side of the ocean, there are writings written before the Shang and Zhou dynasties, which is incredible.

Asura said: "Judging from the traces of runes on the stone pillars and the degree of erosion, they are as old as those words and were not engraved recently. The city lord did not lie to us. We should find the right place."

"No, it's still a lie."

Bai Zhong narrowed his eyes and analyzed: "He must have bad intentions in doing this. The local people must not be able to understand the words here. Behind the words, there are some secrets they want."

Yue Li agreed: "The city lord and others cannot understand this kind of writing. Knowing that we are from Da Qin, they deliberately led us to read it in order to get the content and secrets behind the writing."

"But we can't understand it either."

Bai Zhong shrugged helplessly: "The time when the runes were engraved here may be as old as these words. The method of breaking the curse may be related to the words, but if you can't understand it, what can you do?"

These are most likely clues to solving the curse, but I don't know how to translate the clues.

You can't go back to Daqin and openly recruit a group of people who know how to read ancient characters to come back and study it. This will probably be too late in terms of time.

"I used to read some ancient characters in the Mo family. Give me some time to see if I can identify them." Yue Li said.

"good!"

Bai Zhong nodded.

Since Yue Li can understand it, that's the best.

However, they have always been vigilant and even communicated in Da Qin's elegant language to avoid any masters eavesdropping nearby.

"The first few words are from Easterners, hello..."

Yue Li said slowly.

They immediately turned around and looked at the stone pillar.

How did the people who carved the stone pillars know they were coming?
