Everyone gathered in front of the massive bronze door, their breathing heavy in the silent, oppressive space. Lu Ming's fingers gently brushed the patterns and symbols on the door. Beads of sweat covered his forehead, each wrinkle like an insurmountable chasm in his heart. He knew full well that the answer to this puzzle hinged not only on whether or not the door could be opened, but also on the success or failure of their quest for the Key to Spring.
"The logic of this puzzle seems similar to the dark runes we encountered before, but even more obscure and complex." Lu Ming's voice was hoarse, the weariness of long thought evident. His mind kept turning to the obscure records in ancient books, trying to find the key to solving the puzzle.
Lin Yu stood aside, his hands unconsciously gripping the hilt of his sword. His heartbeat was like thunder, and every beat seemed to urge him to find the secret key of spring as soon as possible and fulfill Luo Chen's last wish. He looked at the bronze door, his eyes full of determination and anxiety: "Lu Ming, take your time to think about it. We all believe that you can solve this mystery." The image of Luo Chen falling flashed through his mind, and the self-blame and sense of mission made his heart burn like a raging fire.
Su Yao leaned against Lin Yu, her hand still tightly holding Lin Yu's, as if she could gain strength from it. Her eyes showed both fear of the unknown and trust in Lin Yu: "Lin Yu, I'm so worried, what if I can't solve the puzzle..." Her voice trembled slightly. In this dangerous and strange place, every unknown was like an invisible hand, magnifying her fear infinitely.
Xiao Yi's brows were twisted into the shape of a "川" character. He slammed the weapon in his hand to the ground with force, making a dull sound: "No matter what the puzzle is, I don't believe that so many of us can't solve it! Luo Chen, you watch, I will definitely lead everyone to find the secret key of spring and avenge you!" The flame of revenge burned in his eyes, and this anger and unwillingness became a powerful driving force for him when facing difficulties.
You Qianxue gently stroked Bing Ling'er's back, trying to comfort her sister. Bing Ling'er's body was still trembling slightly, her eyes fixed on the bronze door, her voice tinged with tears: "Sister, I'm so scared that there's something terrible behind this door..." You Qianxue gently held her sister in her arms and whispered: "Don't be afraid, sister, I'm here, and so are everyone else. We'll face this together." Her heart was also filled with worry, but to give her sister strength, she tried to appear calm and composed.
The man in red stood quietly by, his eyes like a sharp knife, scanning everything around him, never missing a single danger. His hand remained on his weapon, ever vigilant. He held a single conviction: to protect everyone, no matter what lay ahead. Images of fighting alongside Luo Chen resurfaced in his mind, those moments of shared life and death becoming the source of his strength.
The mysterious man's brow furrowed, his eyes etched with solemnity and contemplation. He stared at Lu Ming silently, secretly pondering the answer to the puzzle. "This dark force's plot is interconnected, and perhaps there's an even more shocking secret hidden behind this puzzle. We must solve it quickly, or the consequences will be disastrous," he thought silently, a strong sense of urgency making his heart beat faster.
Lu Ming took a deep breath and focused his attention on the bronze door again. His fingers gently slid along the outline of the pattern, his mind constantly running through various deductions and hypotheses. Suddenly, his eyes lit up, as if he had caught a flash of inspiration: "I think I understand. The order of these patterns is related to an ancient astrological system, and these symbols represent different time points."
Hearing this, everyone came closer to the bronze door and carefully observed the patterns and symbols. Lin Yu's eyes revealed a glimmer of hope: "Lu Ming, tell me in detail and we will study it together." A glimmer of hope ignited in his heart, and he looked forward to solving the puzzle as soon as possible and moving on.
Lu Ming pointed at the pattern on the bronze door and began to explain in detail: "Look, this pattern represents the shape of the Big Dipper, and the symbols next to it correspond to the changes in the position of the Big Dipper at specific times. We need to use these clues to find a specific time point. Perhaps this is the key to opening the bronze door."
Su Yao frowned slightly, trying to understand Lu Ming's explanation: "But how do we know that specific time point? There is no time mark here." Her heart was full of doubts, and she was also worried about this complicated puzzle.
Xiao Yi scratched his head, looking confused: "This is too complicated, are we going to spend a whole day and night studying here?" He was impatient by nature and was a little impatient with this kind of puzzle that required patience and carefulness, but in order to find the secret key of spring, he still tried to restrain himself.
Lu Ming fell into deep thought again, his eyes fixed on the bronze door, not missing a single detail. Suddenly, he noticed a line of extremely tiny words on the bottom of the door. If he hadn't looked closely, he wouldn't have been able to see it. "Look, everyone! There's a line of tiny words here!" he shouted excitedly.
Everyone gathered around immediately and saw a line of small words that read: "When light and darkness meet, the stars guide the direction, and the rift in time will open." Lu Ming pondered the words over and over again, and gradually came up with a bold guess in his mind.
"I think I know. The so-called intersection of light and darkness may refer to the environment here, and the stars guide the direction, which are these astrological patterns. As for the crack in time, it may refer to a special moment. Among the images we encountered in the stone forest before, one was a picture of a solar eclipse. Could it be this special moment?" There was a hint of excitement and anticipation in Lu Ming's voice. If his speculation was correct, then they would be close to solving the mystery.
