Chapter 497: Yellow Sands Ancient City (1/2)

Ye Chuan walked over to a wall and took a long sword.

The scabbard was filled with dust, and after he blew away the dust, its true features were revealed. Many lines were carved on the scabbard like some kind of decoration, but it also resembled a kind of formation.

Clang, Ye Chuan pulled out the sword inside the scabbard and suddenly, a pallid light spread all over the shop.

Even after so many years, although the scabbard was filled with dust, the sword inside was still sharp. Ye Chuan pulled out a hair and blew it towards the blade. This hair was cut into two half. He then flicked on the sword blade and this sword blade trembled issuing a buzzing sound. Its hardness and toughness were pretty good. Although it was a common product with common material, it was an excellent product. It could sell for many silvers in the secular world.

But, why did the owner of this shop left, leaving behind these good weapons?

What exactly happened in this Yellow Sands Ancient City? Where did Zhu Sijia, Hei Kui and others go? Were they in the other end of this Yellow Sands Ancient City?

Ye Chuan was confused. He turned around and left this store, then enter another store not far away.

This was a medicine shop. Immediately upon entering, he saw a medicine cabinet with name of the medicinal materials stuck on it.At one glance, he saw Heavenly Sesame, Thunder Root, Dragon Withered Grass and other valuable medicinal herbs’ name stuck on the cabinet. But, when he opened the cabinet, he saw that all herbs were already rotten. Unlike weapons, even the best-preserved medicinal herbs were unable to endure the erosion of time.

“It’s a pity!”

Ye Chuan’s spirit had yet to recover completely, so he thought that he might be able to find some valuable herbs to treat his injuries, unfortunately, he celebrated too early. He shook his head and just when was about to leave, he suddenly stopped.

In the stove beside the counter, there was a kettle. And on one side, there was a tea table with two cups on it. On the kettle, there was Tieguanyin tea. It seemed that the shopkeeper was making a tea for his guest, then, he didn’t know what suddenly happened, but they ran away leaving everything. At one corner beside the tea table, there was a small desk and a small stool. On this table, there was a booklet and writing brush was thrown at one side with a pair of small shoes under the table.

An image suddenly appeared in the mind of Ye Chuan.

A very long time ago, this Yellow Sands Ancient City was full of vitality along with busy flow of people. The shopkeeper of this shop was drinking tea with his guests while discussing a business transaction. The hostess was busy in the kitchen while a child was sitting on this small stool while seriously writing something. Although this child was very young in age, he seemed intelligent. Suddenly, a catastrophe befell and everyone ran away and this city turned into a ghost city.

The gaze of Ye Chuan was deep, seemingly, his gaze pierced through the time and space and saw what had happened here. After he stood silently for a while, he walked over and picked up that booklet on the table.

This was a diary. It once was a treasure of a certain child. Unfortunately, after a long period of time, it was already eroded beyond recognition. Even the words written on it couldn’t be seen, and it would break into pieces when flipping it.

Ye Chuan carefully tried to find any clues on this diary.

This diary was also very simple. The child wrote a few lines every day.

The words on the first page were already blurred;

On the second page, it roughly stated a matter, saying he never wanted to go to school again. It seems this was a naughty and also somewhat playful child. Ye Chuan smiled, although he was already sufficiently careful, but every time he turned it, pages would break into pieces.
