When Liu Jun heard that she was going to put the key, he looked down at the time and said, "It will take some time for the support team to come. You can go and take a look today. You don't have to place the key successfully."

"It may not be appropriate to go in now." The staff at the base explained, "It's too dark and the lighting inside is very poor. I went in once after cleaning during the day and couldn't see clearly even with the lighting turned on."

"We suspect that the special material of the stone wall may have the effect of absorbing light."

After a while, the group arrived at the compass placement point.

After passing through the long and narrow passage, one could vaguely feel the pressure of the rock wall, which was as dark as ink and filled the entire field of vision, with only a few gaps above casting light.

However, the skylight gradually fades, and the little light left will be swallowed up, leaving only a dark space with occasional echoes.

When the strong light shines on it, the outline of the rocks can be seen vaguely, but it is not very clear.

"This isn't the eerie darkness of a haunted house," Meiru Z said. "This is just the darkness you get when you close your eyes."

"It will be even darker in a while, and I guess it won't be possible to see clearly, so I said it's not suitable to come in."

Several rays of light shone in the ruins, and suddenly a familiar stone pillar flashed by.

"Wait, what is that?" Chu Qianli noticed the abnormality with her sharp eyes. She hurriedly asked the staff to take a photo back, but she saw a stone pillar hidden in the darkness not far away, which could be easily overlooked.

The stone pillar in front of the Gate of Truth is used to place the crystal ball. There is also a space on the stone pillar here that is just enough to put the compass in.

Chu Qianli took out the compass and put it away carefully.

The next second, there was a slight noise coming from underground. Some mechanism in the dark was triggered, causing the people on the ground to feel their feet slightly numb and step back subconsciously.

After a few minutes, the strange vibrations finally stopped, but there was no change in the ruins.

Liu Jun looked around in confusion: "Has anything changed here? I can't see clearly."

The compass placement spot is so dark that you can't see your hand in front of you. At least there are lights in the Taomu Sword Cave, but here even the lighting equipment is weakened.

Chu Qianli wanted to find out the situation nearby, but before he had taken two steps, he stumbled for unknown reasons and almost fell down. Fortunately, he only bumped into Tan Muxing, who stabilized him with a hand.

She lowered her head subconsciously and said blankly, "There was nothing here just now, right?"

When people walked over, it was clearly as if they were walking on flat ground, but just now it seemed as if there were obstacles.

Xu Zaiyuan said: "I have an extra piece here too."

After the ruins trembled, the ground seemed to be different.

"What if we turn off the lights?" Chu Qianli thought about the compass and the Ziwei Doushu, and asked hurriedly, "Can we turn off all the lighting equipment and give it a try?"

"It's possible..." the staff member said helplessly, "but I'm afraid it will be completely dark."

"Turn it off for a moment."

The next moment, the lighting was turned off and darkness fell.

Everyone thought that there was only darkness as far as they could see, but unexpectedly, they saw thousands of golden lines flowing in the darkness, and a vast painting of mountains and rivers unfolded under their feet!

After the compass was placed on the stone pillar, the surface structure began to change. The jagged rocks with faint fluorescent light gathered together and formed mountains and gullies on the ground, looming in the darkness, like a blue and green galaxy.

The scene is like stepping on the electronic screen on the ground of a museum. However, what is built here is not the cutting-edge electronic technology, but the humble minerals and the wisdom of the ancients.

Rocks are like microscopic sandboxes, enclosing mountains and rivers.

These fluorescent minerals only shine brightly in the dark, creating a magnificent and gorgeous sight. If the surrounding light is too bright, you can't notice their special features and just see them as ordinary limestone.

"So beautiful." Others exclaimed, "It's simply a work of art!"

"It's clearly a map, but it looks like a starry sky."

After people got used to the initial darkness, they were deeply attracted by the faint light and began to praise it endlessly.

Chu Qianli said with a sigh, "We who play with stars still appreciate beauty. We are definitely romanticists in the numerology circle. We find it much more pleasing than shooting arrows from behind or making magic formations."

Mei Ru Z pinched her cheek expressionlessly: "What do you mean by sneak attack?"

“Um, um…” Chu Qianli had her face rubbed miserably.

Tan Muxing hurried to come to the rescue: "It's just a child, still a child."

“So we can’t let her go.”

“…”

Chu Qianli finally got rid of the torture. She was finally able to study the fluorescent map and run towards the stone pillar by bypassing the obstacles on the ground.

"Is this Feng Shui?" Xu Zaiyuan saw the cracks between the rocks on the surface and said sharply, "These plates can be pushed."

The map in front of you looks like a jigsaw puzzle and a game of Nine Palaces. The Nine Palaces originated from the River Chart and Luoshu. It is said that the River Chart and Luoshu contain the principles of the universe and astrology, and are called the "Magic Cube of the Universe", which is the origin of Chinese civilization.

In Ziwei Doushu, there is another school called Ziwei Heluo School, which is closely related to Hetu and Luoshu.

"But it seems like something is missing. I feel like it's not complete after I finished calculating." Xu Zaiyuan pinched his fingers to tell the hexagram. He looked around at the plate at his feet and always felt that some information was missing.

Chu Qianli waved his hand with ease: "It's a tough situation here, young man, you can't control yourself, let me do it."

Xu Zaiyuan: “?”

Chu Qianli ran to the compass and started to fiddle with it. With the help of Tan Muxing, she moved two pieces of the map, then looked around the whole situation, then looked at the sky through the hole at the top, and said, "The next move will take an hour."

Xu Zaiyuan followed her line of sight and saw the ventilation holes on the top. Then he suddenly realized, "It's starlight."

Chu Qianli nodded: "Yes, the 'River' in the River Map represents the Milky Way Universe. If we want to reassemble this place, we have to wait until the starlight falls."

"It seems we won't be able to leave anytime soon. We can't finish this during the day. We have to wait until night."

The gaps above the map allow starlight to fall, which can only be captured in the darkest environment. When combined with the map made of fluorescent minerals, the secrets behind the organization can be unearthed.

The only drawback is that we have to wait for the external starlight, and now is not the time yet.

The crowd stepped on the map and hindered Chu Qianli from solving the puzzle, so they moved to the side to rest, leaving the space for those who really knew the subject.

Liu Jun thought it was getting late, so he organized everyone to have a simple hot meal.

Inside the base, Tan Muxing carefully placed the food in the insulated box. He then carefully prepared the hot soup and said, "I'll take it in for her."

Chu Qianli was solving a riddle beside the stone pillar and couldn't get away for a while.

The ruins were completely dark, with only the glow of ore and stars, and nothing else could be seen.

Tan Muxing found the stone pillar based on his memory, but discovered that there was no one near the stone pillar.

His face turned pale and he looked around frantically, not knowing where Chu Qianli was. Even his incubator hit a stone pillar when he turned around, making a clanging sound.

"Star?"

In the darkness, someone was lying on her back on the fluorescent map. She heard movement near the stone pillar and spoke tentatively.

Tan Muxing heaved a sigh of relief when he heard the familiar voice. Then he took his lunch box and walked over to her side. "Why are you here?"

"Let's eat first." Tan Muxing saw Chu Qianli lying on the ground, so he simply sat down next to her and handed her the lunch box and the thermos bottle of soup. "We'll continue after you finish eating."

"It's actually done, but the time hasn't come yet. The equipment here can only be activated after the stars set." Chu Qianli opened the thermos, took a sip of the hot soup, and whispered, "Did the stars seem to be panicked when they came in?"

Chu Qianli had been staying in the ruins, and her eyes were used to the darkness, so she could see Tan Muxing's movements clearly. He panicked when he didn't find her by the stone pillar. If she hadn't called out for help, he would have run away the next second.

Because the appropriate starlight time had not yet arrived, the two of them took some time to chat.

"I thought you disappeared again." Tan Muxing just went out to get food, and when he came back she was nowhere to be found, and he was almost scared to death.

When Chu Qianli heard this, she was slightly stunned. She didn't know what she was thinking about. She suddenly fell silent and didn't respond immediately.

The light was dim, and Tan Muxing couldn't see her expression. He said calmly, "I don't dare to separate from you now."

Chu Qianli muttered: "Why?"

Tan Muxing seemed to be hesitant to speak, and suddenly became vague, as if he was not sure how to start.

"Say it, say it!"

"I was afraid of being accused of being mean, so I hit you." Tan Muxing hesitated, his eyes drifting away, and he said weakly, "And then I got bitten again."

Big White Bear still couldn't forget the unexpected disaster, and he couldn't figure out when he had done the worst to her.

Chu Qianli was startled, then she pulled his sleeve with great interest, and asked curiously, "You haven't forgotten it yet, let me see it?"

"This is what happened today, how could you forget it so quickly?" Tan Muxing complained in a low voice. Seeing her pulling at his sleeve, he could only persuade her in a good-tempered manner, "Eat your meal first."

"Look, look, are there any marks?"

“It’s long gone.”

She had bitten lightly to begin with, leaving no marks.

Chu Qianli insisted on pulling up her sleeve to take a look. She even used a flashlight to illuminate it, then said in disappointment, "It's really gone."

She suddenly felt uncomfortable.

It turned out that there was very little she could leave behind, not even a day, let alone years and years.

The marks she left on him were so shallow.

"...You seem very regretful?"

"Well, take another bite then."

"!!?"

The air suddenly became charming and slightly hot.

In the dim light, Tan Muxing felt her approaching, and his face suddenly turned red and he was at a loss. He only felt warm breath brushing against his skin, and subconsciously wanted to step back, but he couldn't say anything to disobey her, so he was caught in a dilemma.

He didn't know why she was so persistent about the teeth marks. She came over slowly like a naughty and cunning cat, always trying to find ways to bully him.

Chu Qianli deliberately raised the big white bear's arm, pretending to bite it hard again, but she hesitated and finally put her arm down, saying jokingly, "I'm just kidding."

Tan Muxing's heart was torn between two things. He didn't know what to feel when he heard this. He felt inexplicably empty. She was really like an arrogant cat, carelessly stepping on people with her paws twice, and then leaving the place as if nothing had happened.

In the dark night, neither of them could see each other's expressions, but he could hear her playful tone.

She repeated his words and jokingly said, "Xingxing seems to be very regretful?"

"you……"

Even though Ren Yuan was talking about Mu Xing's soft nature, he could still sense another kind of bullying in her.

He simply sat a little to the side, hoping to hide his pounding heart, but he couldn't hide his red ears. He said in a muffled voice, "I'm going to ignore you for a minute too."
