Luo Chen nodded, "We need to find someone knowledgeable to interpret these symbols; perhaps we can discover more about their secrets."
They decided to leave the mine first and find a safe place to make plans.
On the way back, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang discussed their next steps.
"We must act cautiously," Luo Chen reminded, "The Shadow Sect's influence spans across the region, and we must avoid exposing our whereabouts easily."
Qing Shuang nodded in agreement, "We could go to the nearby village; there should be clues and assistance we need."
They arrived at a small village where the villagers seemed to lead peaceful lives.
Luo Chen and Qing Shuang inquired around the village, trying to find someone who could decipher the ancient texts.
In the village, they encountered an elderly scholar, who claimed to have studied ancient texts extensively.
Luo Chen and Qing Shuang showed him the documents and symbols they obtained from the mine.
