Earth's catastrophe, crazy black crystals begin to wreak havoc

Ax continued to study the text on the heavenly book. He found that the book also mentioned some symbols and directions related to the Five Elements and Eight Trigrams. This information seemed to hint at how they should use this thousand-year-old ginkgo tree to find the Ghost Mountain Jade Talisman.

The three of them surrounded the thousand-year-old ginkgo tree and carefully observed the ancient symbols on the trunk. Axe took out the heavenly book and compared them one by one, and found that these symbols matched the patterns in the heavenly book surprisingly. They quickly recorded these symbols in the notebooks they carried with them, trying to find the pattern from them.

"These symbols seem to be an ancient navigation system," Axe frowned in thought, "They may point to the Fulong Temple in Dujiangyan."

Caesar nodded in agreement: "Fulong Temple is inextricably linked to Zhao Gongming. Perhaps that is our next destination."

Hu Huan seemed a little anxious: "Then what are we waiting for? Let's go!"

The three said goodbye to the Taoist priest and drove the Kaitian mecha to Dujiangyan. However, the scene on the road was beyond their expectations. On the two-way road, countless Kaitian mechas were like a steel torrent, moving forward slowly and firmly. Axe held the steering wheel tightly and carefully shuttled through the dense traffic.

"The traffic situation is terrible!" Caesar complained, his voice echoing in the enclosed space of the mecha.

Hu Huan stared out the window, trying to find a gap in the crowded traffic: "We have to find a way to speed up, time waits for no one."

Axe pursed his lips tightly, his eyes determined: "I will try to find a faster route, but we must remain vigilant."

As time went on, the atmosphere in the car became more and more tense. Ax suddenly noticed that there was a familiar symbol engraved on the license plate of a mecha in front of him, which was exactly the same as the symbol they found on the ginkgo tree.

"Look there!" Axe pointed at the mecha, "That symbol is exactly the same as what we recorded!"

Caesar and Hu Huan immediately moved closer to observe, and a hint of excitement flashed in Caesar's eyes: "This may be an important clue. We have to follow that car."

Axe adjusted the direction and followed the mech closely. In the crowded traffic, their mech was like a nimble fish, shuttling through the sea of ​​steel. As the distance got closer, they gradually saw the driver of the mech clearly - a middle-aged man in a Taoist robe, with a serious expression, seemingly indifferent to everything around him.

"That man must know something," Hu Huan whispered, "We have to find an opportunity to get close to him."

Ax nodded and continued to follow the mech. Their mechs shuttled through the traffic, and every turn was full of tension and expectation. As time passed, they were getting closer and closer to Dujiangyan, and the mech was always not far ahead of them.

Finally, after a long drive, they arrived at the Fulong Temple in Dujiangyan. The mecha slowly stopped, the driver got out of the car and walked straight into the temple.

Axel, Caesar and Hu Huan also got out of the car quickly and followed closely behind. Their eyes were fixed on the mysterious Taoist priest, their hearts filled with curiosity and expectation about the unknown.

The three followed the mysterious Taoist priest, passed through the stone gate of Fulong Temple, and stepped into a quiet courtyard. In the courtyard, there were towering ancient trees, winding stone paths, and a faint sandalwood fragrance in the air. The Taoist priest's steps were steady and fast, and he seemed to know everything here.

"Where is he going?" Hu Huan asked in a low voice, his eyes following the Taoist's back.

Caesar frowned and looked around: "The terrain here is complicated, we have to be careful."

Axe held the heavenly book tightly, trying to find clues related to this place: "The symbols mentioned in the heavenly book may be the key to solving the mystery."

The Taoist priest suddenly stopped in front of an ancient stone tablet. He reached out and gently touched the marks on the stone tablet, as if he was feeling something. Seeing this, Axe and others immediately hid in the bushes nearby and watched with bated breath.

"What is engraved on that stone tablet?" Caesar asked in a low voice.

Axe observed carefully and found that the symbols on the stone tablet were very similar to the symbols they saw on the ginkgo tree and the heavenly book: "These symbols are exactly the same as what we found before."

Hu Huan's eyes flashed with excitement: "Have we found the key clue?"

The Taoist priest suddenly turned around, his eyes like lightning, and shot straight at the place where Axe and others were hiding. The three were startled and were about to retreat, but they saw the Taoist priest slowly approaching and said calmly: "What is your purpose in following me?"

Axe took a deep breath and stood up. "We are looking for something important, and these symbols seem to be related to it."

The Taoist looked at the three people, his eyes lingering on the heavenly book in Axe's hand for a moment: "Is what you are talking about related to Zhao Gongming?"

Caesar nodded, "Exactly. We believe these symbols can guide us to find it."

The Taoist priest was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "Follow me."

The three followed the Taoist priest through the courtyard and came to a hidden stone chamber. In the stone chamber, candlelight flickered, and in the center stood an ancient altar, which was engraved with complex symbols.

The Taoist pointed to the altar and said, "Here is the answer you are looking for."

Axe, Caesar and Hu Huan walked forward and carefully observed the symbols on the altar. They found that these symbols echoed the symbols they saw on the ginkgo tree, the heavenly book and the stone tablet, forming a complete pattern.

"This pattern seems to be an ancient navigation system," Axe pondered, "It may guide us to find Zhao Gongming's relics."

The Taoist nodded: "You are right, but this road is not easy to walk. You need to decipher the secret of this pattern before you can move forward."

The three of them looked at each other, their eyes full of determination. They knew that the road ahead would be full of challenges, but they were ready to embrace the unknown adventure.

In the stone chamber of Fulong Temple, Axe, Caesar and Hu Huan were concentrating on studying the ancient patterns on the altar. Suddenly, a steady sound of footsteps broke the silence of the stone chamber. The three looked up and saw a middle-aged man and a young man walking in.

"Mr. Li Bin?" Ax asked in surprise. He had seen photos of this master of water conservancy engineering in historical materials.

Li Bin smiled and nodded, "Exactly. What are you looking for here?"

Caesar stepped forward and explained, "We are looking for relics related to Zhao Gongming. These symbols seem to be the key clues."

Li Bin's gaze lingered on the altar for a moment, then turned to the heavenly book in Axe's hand: "Can you lend me this book?"

Ax hesitated for a moment, but still handed the book to Li Bin. Li Bin flipped through the book, his brows gradually furrowed: "These symbols are indeed related to the water conservancy project of the Minjiang River."

Hu Huan asked curiously: "Can you explain it?"

Li Bin pointed to the symbols on the heavenly book and said: "These symbols represent the hydrological characteristics of the Minjiang River and the layout of ancient water conservancy facilities. Zhao Gongming managed the Minjiang River and left behind many valuable experiences and wisdom."
