Siheyuan: Tathagata's Palm suppresses the entire courtyard!

After many rounds of negotiations, Xu Mingjie and Jia Shifa finally reached a cooperation agreement with several well-known investment institutions. The two sides held a grand signing ceremony in the courtyard, the atmosphere was warm, and the media reported it one after another.

"Dear guests, the cooperation agreement we signed today will inject new impetus into the project," Jia Shifa said at the ceremony. "We look forward to working with you to jointly promote the development of the project."

The rain was drizzling and night was falling. The courtyard was brightly lit, and the soft light was sprinkled on the carefully trimmed flowers and plants. Jia Shifa stood in the courtyard, watching the rain water gather into a stream on the stone road, with a myriad of thoughts in his mind.

Jia Xiaoying tiptoed to her father's side and asked cautiously, "Dad, you asked me to come here. Is there something wrong?"

Jia Shifa nodded slightly, signaling his daughter to follow him to the study. The furnishings in the study were simple yet elegant, and the calligraphy and paintings on the wall and the ancient books on the bookshelf all revealed the owner's taste and cultivation.

"Okay, I'll contact my old friends here to see if they can provide more information." After Yang Shumao said this, he picked up the phone and started dialing a number.

Xu Xiaofeng's Discovery

While Yang Shumao and Xie Zhiqiang were busy, Xu Xiaofeng sat alone at her desk, feeling lost. Her eyes involuntarily fell on the scattered documents on the desk, and suddenly, she noticed a yellowed photo.

Xu Xiaofeng nodded, "Grandpa must have used these symbols to record some important information."

Decoding the symbols

The three took photos of the symbols and returned to the office to study them. Yang Shumao took out several books on ancient symbols from the bookshelf and tried to decipher the contents of the note.

"These symbols seem to be some kind of ancient language. They can only be interpreted by referring to these books." Yang Shumao said and began to flip through the books.

Xie Zhiqiang also joined in, and the two of them compared the books and marked the notes. After several hours of hard work, they finally deciphered part of the content.

"This is a map." Yang Shumao pointed to the symbols on the paper and said, "These symbols represent certain places."

Deciding to go

After some discussion, they decided to follow the instructions on the map and go to the marked locations to find out. Although these locations may be full of dangers, they have only one goal in mind - to find Mr. Xu.

"We have to set off as soon as possible." Yang Shumao said firmly, "Time waits for no one."

Xu Xiaofeng nodded, "I will prepare everything you need."

Getting ready

The next morning, the three packed their luggage, took the necessary tools and food, and prepared to set off for the first location on the map - a deep mountain forest.

"We must be careful, there may be many unknown dangers in the deep mountains and forests." Yang Shumao reminded.

Xie Zhiqiang and Xu Xiaofeng both nodded. They knew that this expedition would not be easy, but they were fearless.

deep mountain forest

In the deep mountains and old forests, the trees are so tall that the sunlight can hardly penetrate the dense canopy. Yang Shumao holds the map and walks while looking for the marked location.

"According to the map, we need to go through this forest and reach a hidden valley," said Yang Shumao.

Xu Xiaofeng followed closely behind him, taking out a compass from time to time to confirm the direction, "We are almost there."

Hidden Valley

After several hours of arduous trekking, they finally reached the valley marked on the map. The valley was quiet and silent, as if isolated from the world.

"This is the location marked on the map." Yang Shumao pointed to a stone wall in the valley, "There seems to be a cave over there."

They walked carefully to the stone wall and found a hidden cave entrance. The entrance was covered by dense vines and could not be found without careful observation.

"Let's go in and take a look." Yang Shumao took the lead and walked into the cave.

Discovery in the cave

The cave was dark, with only the faint light from their flashlights to illuminate the way. The walls of the cave were engraved with ancient symbols and patterns, as if telling an ancient legend.

"These symbols seem to be similar to those we found before," Xie Zhiqiang said. "Maybe they were left by the same person."

Yang Shumao nodded. "These symbols must contain some important information. We must decipher it."

move on

They continued to move forward along the cave, and suddenly, a stone door appeared in front of them. The stone door was engraved with complex symbols and patterns, which seemed to be some kind of ancient mechanism.

"This stone door seems to require a specific password to open." Yang Shumao said, "We have to find a way to open it."

Xu Xiaofeng carefully observed the symbols on the stone gate. "These symbols are somewhat similar to those we interpreted before. Maybe we can give it a try."

Unlock the mechanism

After some effort, they finally found the password to open the stone door. With a dull sound, the stone door slowly opened, revealing an even more mysterious cave.

Deep in the cave, there are some ancient artifacts and books, as well as a huge mural depicting an ancient battle and a brave guardian.

"What does this mural tell about?" Xu Xiaofeng asked curiously.

Yang Shumao looked at the mural carefully and found many details on it. "This mural records a period of our family's history and may provide us with more clues."

The Secret of the Mural

They spent several hours and finally deciphered some of the contents on the murals, which mentioned a mysterious sword and a treasure hidden in the mountains.

"This sword and treasure seem to be one of the family's secrets." Yang Shumao said, "We must find the sword, maybe it can reveal more secrets."

Thrills in the Night

Under the dim moonlight, Yang Shumao, Xie Zhiqiang and Xu Xiaofeng returned to the company. The atmosphere was filled with a heavy silence. Xu Xiaofeng sat helplessly in the corner of the office, tears falling silently like beads from a broken string. Yang Shumao and Xie Zhiqiang looked at each other, and they could see deep fatigue and helplessness in each other's eyes.

"Shumao, it's not a good idea for us to keep looking like this." Xie Zhiqiang's voice was low but full of concern.

Yang Shumao clenched his fists and said in a hoarse voice, "We can't give up. Mr. Xu is too important to us."

At this moment, the office door was gently pushed open, and a soft voice broke the dull atmosphere, "Shu Mao..."

Yang Shumao looked up and saw Zhao Yajing standing at the door, her eyes full of care and love. She walked in slowly and gently held Yang Shumao's hand. The warm touch seemed to soothe his anxiety.

"Yajing, why are you here?" Yang Shumao asked with a hint of surprise in his tone.
