When Rouyi and I were having lunch, she told me that the deciphering work was progressing smoothly.

Seeing how hard Rouyi was working, dedicating herself to studying the rubbings on the old yellow paper whenever she was awake these past few days, I naturally believed she had achieved some results.

Rouyi said to me, "I've deciphered the content of the second, third, and fourth pages."

I was a little surprised. I didn't expect Rouyi to decipher the subsequent pages so quickly after deciphering the first page.

"However, I don't feel like I've obtained any crucial information. It's still just some incomprehensible verses," Rouyi said, rubbing her temples as she shared her results with me.

"The verse on the second page is: 'Jade belt passes through the mountains, twin peaks hide the eight wildernesses.'"

"The verse on the third page is: 'Treading on clouds, following the wind, clear ripples cleanse the living spring.'"

"The verse on the fourth page is: 'And see, within the white expanse, green reflects Tiger Rock.'"

The verses that came from Rouyi's mouth made my head spin for a moment.

I pondered the meaning of these words for a long time, but I still had no clue.

As a pure engineering student, my ability to understand ancient poems and prose was already weak. It was even more difficult for me to extract any important information from them.

Just as I was in a dilemma, Rouyi suddenly said to me, "Young Master, don't you think these verses are a bit like descriptions of scenery and environment? When I was learning Chinese, I studied some ancient Chinese poems and verses, and many of them described scenery, with wording just like on the rubbings. I wonder if there's some kind of connection."

Rouyi's words suddenly woke me up. I suddenly thought of a line from Wang Wei's poem: "In the desert, a lone smoke rises straight, the long river, the sun sets round."

I recalled the entire poem:

"Wang Wei's 'An Envoy to the Frontier':

Alone, I ride to ask about the border, Passing Juyan, a dependent state no more.

Like thistledown, I leave the Han fortress, Homeward bound geese enter the barbarian sky.

In the desert, a lone smoke rises straight, The long river, the sun sets round.

At Xiao Pass, I meet a mounted scout, The Protector-General is at Yanran now."

Wang Wei's poem seems to describe scenery, but in fact, it points the way. The poem records the scenery along his journey beyond the border.

Yes, I suddenly realized from Wang Wei's poem – that's right – these sentences are indeed descriptions of some kind of environment.

Or rather, these verses are a roadmap pointing to a certain direction.

I suddenly had a clue. These sentences are like route instructions in a treasure map. All the images and directional indications are like road signs, pointing to the so-called "treasure."

"The Yellow River comes from the sky, rushing into the sea."

"Jade belt passes through the mountains, twin peaks hide the eight wildernesses."

"Treading on clouds, following the wind, clear ripples cleanse the living spring."

"And see, within the white expanse, green reflects Tiger Rock."

I recited and repeated them over and over again.

"Yellow River" – "Sea" – "Jade Belt" – "Mountain" – "Twin Peaks" – "Eight Wildernesses" – "Clouds" – "Living Spring" – "White Expanse" – "Green" – "Tiger Rock."

I was even more convinced that these verses were some kind of guide.

These words kept jumping in my mind. They were like one note after another, jumping into my ears one after another, but I didn't have the melody. I didn't know how to connect them.

However, these images did not point to any specific location.

A flash of inspiration suddenly struck me. I slapped my head and thought that perhaps the place where Han Yu went was the direction guided by this route.

I had a faint sense of unease. Perhaps Han Yu had already found this place...

But at present, we only have the content of the first few pages. Perhaps the more important information is on the later rubbings. I can only place my hopes on Rouyi again.

Now everything is a race against time. Rouyi needs to decipher all the rubbings as soon as possible so that we can extract important information from the content of the rubbings, while Dodge needs to determine the approximate location of Han Yu's actions as soon as possible. This will help us narrow down the search area.

The unease in my heart was like a thorn, stuck in my heart. There was a slight tingling, but it wasn't enough to make me feel suffocated. I could feel that this was a manifestation of chronic death.

If I allowed the unease to spread, then in the near future, the unease would inevitably devour my life, and even Rouyi, Fatty, Jennifer, and everyone related to me.

I began to feel anxious. What to do now?
