In a dark corner of the palace, Yun Che and Wu Ling faced another discovered broken bronze cauldron, their brows furrowed with confusion. 0
 
In a quiet palace garden, Wu Ling looked at his reflection in the lake and sighed softly, "The appearance of these bronze cauldrons seems to have no direct connection to Crown Prince Jin Xiao. What is the secret behind all of this?" 0
 
 
Yun Che stood quietly by her side, gazing at the surface of the lake. In a dark corner of the palace, Yun Che and Wu Ling faced yet another discovered broken bronze cauldron, their brows furrowed with confusion. 0
 
"The origin of these cauldrons is truly a big mystery," Yun Che furrowed his brow, running his fingers lightly over the runes on the cauldron. 0
 
 
Wu Ling stood on the side, carefully observing the surroundings, with a tone of unease: "These runes are completely different from what we have seen before, they seem to conceal deeper secrets." 0
 
"Could these bronze cauldrons be related to the series of strange events in the palace?" Yun Che muttered softly, a hint of contemplation flashing in his eyes. 0
 
 
Wu Ling responded softly, "Perhaps. The eerie aura emanating from these bronze cauldrons seems closely related to the anomalies in the palace." 0
 
At this moment, a eunuch hurried over and, upon seeing Yun Che and Wu Ling investigating the cauldrons, displayed a puzzled expression, asking, "What are you two Daoists doing here?" 0
 
 
Yun Che turned around and said respectfully, "We hope to find some clues from these bronze tripods we discovered in the palace during our investigation." 0
 
The old eunuch nodded with a worried look in his eyes, "These bronze tripods suddenly appeared in the palace recently, causing great anxiety among the people in the palace. Finding the reason would be a great relief." 0
 
 
Wu Ling The eunuch asked, "You have been in the palace for many years. Have you ever seen these bronze tripods or heard any rumors about them?" 0
 
The eunuch shook his head, looking troubled. "I have served in the palace for many years, but I have never seen such bronze tripods. They seem to have appeared out of nowhere, which is quite strange." 0
 
 
Yun Che flashed a thoughtful look in his eyes, then said to the eunuch, "We will continue to investigate, hoping to find an answer soon." 0
 
The eunuch nodded, "May the heavens bless the great dynasty, and may the Taoists be careful." 0
 
 
Yun Che and Wu Ling continued their investigation, walking through every corner of the palace and questioning many old courtiers and maids, but they did not obtain any useful clues. 0
 
In a quiet palace garden, Wu Ling looked at the reflection in the lake and sighed softly, "What could the appearance of these bronze cauldrons possibly mean?" 0
 
 
Yun Che stood quietly beside her, gazing at the lake: "We can't give up. There must be a clue waiting for us. The appearance of these bronze tripods must be related to some secret in the palace." 0
 
Just then, a hurried footsteps broke the tranquility of the palace. A maid came running, panting and looking anxious: "Lord Yun Che, Miss Wu Ling, it's bad! Another palace maid has gone missing in the palace!" 0
 
 
Yun Che and Wu Ling immediately became alert. Yun Che asked, "What happened? Which palace maid has gone missing?" 0
 
The maid replied urgently, "It's Miss Meixiang. She disappeared after taking a walk in the back garden last night. Everyone is searching for her." 0
 
 
Wu Ling's expression became serious: "Let's go to the backyard immediately and take a look. This may be related to these bronze tripods." 0
 
The three of them quickly went to the backyard and found that many people from the palace had already gathered there, all searching for Meixiang. 0
 
 
Yun Che asked a eunuch beside him, "Before Meixiang went missing, did she leave any clues?" 0
 
The eunuch replied, "Before she went missing, she said she was going for a walk under the willow tree in the backyard, but no one has seen her since then." 0
 
 
Yun Che and Wu Ling quickly went to the willow tree to investigate, and found a handkerchief left behind, but no other clues. 0
 
"Are these disappearances related to these bronze tripods?" Wu Ling asked in a low voice. 0
 
 
Yun Che's brow furrowed: "We need to conduct a deeper investigation. The secrets of these bronze cauldrons may be the key to unraveling all of this mystery." 0
 
Over the next few days, Yun Che and Wu Ling tirelessly searched for clues, attempting to find a connection between the bronze cauldrons and the disappearance. But every effort seemed to be in vain. 0
 
 
During a night investigation, they discovered a small bronze cauldron in a hidden corner of the palace, which also had strange runes carved on it. 0
 
"This cauldron is smaller than the previous ones, but the runes are even more complex," Wu Ling observed carefully, with a look of confusion on their face. 0
 
 
Yun Che said, "These runes seem to contain some kind of summoning power. But what exactly they summon will require further analysis." 0
 
They carefully brought back the bronze cauldron and began studying the runes on it. After a thorough investigation, they found that these runes seemed to be related to ancient Taoist spells. 0
 
 
"These spells seem to be related to the summoning of souls," Yun Che pondered, his eyes revealing concern. "The bronze cauldrons we destroyed before may have only suppressed a portion of the power." 0
 
Wu Ling nodded, her voice tinged with nervousness. "Does this mean that there is even more powerful evil lurking in the palace?" 0
 
 
Yun Che gazed at the bronze cauldron and replied, "It seems so. We must quicken the pace of our investigation and find the source of these powers." 0
 
In the moonlit palace gardens, Yun Che and Wu Ling walked with gentle steps, delving deep into every corner. The shadows of the trees swayed, the wind brushed lightly, and the rustling of the leaves created a deep and mysterious atmosphere. 0
 
 
Yun Che's eyes were focused and sharp as he carefully observed everything around him, hoping to find a trace. Wu Ling followed closely behind, scanning the surrounding trees and buildings from time to time to ensure their safety. 0
 
They arrived at an ancient pavilion, illuminated by moonlight, casting its shadow on the ground and creating a particularly tranquil atmosphere. Yun Che stopped in his tracks, gazing at the stone table in the center of the pavilion, which was carved with ancient and simple patterns. He gently touched the edge of the stone table, furrowing his brow as if contemplating something. 0
 
 
Wu Ling Walking up to him, she asked in a low voice, "Lord Yun Che, is there anything unusual here?" Her voice carried a hint of curiosity and concern. 0
 
Yun Che turned to look at her, his eyes flashing with contemplation. "The patterns on this stone table are somewhat similar to the runes we saw on the bronze cauldron, but also different. I suspect there may be some clues hidden here." 0
 
 
Wu Ling Walking up to the stone table, she carefully observed the patterns on top. In the moonlight, her face appeared particularly solemn, as her fingers lightly traced over the patterns, trying to understand their meaning. 0
 
Suddenly, Yun Che's gaze fell on a slightly darkened floor tile in the corner of the pavilion. He crouched down and carefully examined the tile. It seemed slightly different from its surroundings, with a deeper color and a slight looseness. 0
 
 
"What's wrong here," Yun Che murmured as he lightly rubbed the edge of the floor tile, searching for a way to open it. Wu Ling held his breath, observing Yun Che's movements. 0
 
After a careful inspection, Yun Che discovered a mechanism hidden beneath the floor tile. He took a deep breath and pressed hard. With a "click" sound, the tile slowly moved aside, revealing a hidden passage leading downwards. 0
 
 
"There's actually an underground passage here," Wu Ling exclaimed, with a look of exploration in his eyes. 0
 
Yun Che nodded, gazing at the dim passage with a serious expression. "This passage may be related to the recent anomalies in the palace. We need to proceed with caution." 0
 
 
Two people took out the portable candlestick, lit the candlelight, and illuminated the dim path. Yun Che led the way, with Wu Ling following closely behind, slowly descending along the stone steps. 0
 
As they continued deeper, a cold and damp air permeated the surroundings, and the stone walls were covered with strange symbols, as if telling ancient secrets. 0
 
 
"These symbols are very similar to those on the bronze cauldron. It seems our speculation was correct," Yun Che said excitedly as he walked and observed the stone wall. 0
 
Wu Ling also carefully observed her surroundings, her face occasionally showing a pensive expression. "These symbols seem to imply some kind of spell, perhaps directly related to the recent strange occurrences." 0
 
 
After venturing deep into the passage, they discovered that at the end of the passage was a vast underground space. In the center of the space, there was a huge black stone platform, on which rested a thick ancient book and some scattered talismans. Around the walls of the platform hung some ancient scrolls depicting various mysterious rituals and strange creatures. 0
 
 
Yun Che walked towards the stone platform, carefully flipping open the ancient book. Its pages were yellowed, and it contained records of ancient spells and incantations. His brow furrowed more and more tightly: "The spells and incantations recorded in this book seem extremely ancient and complex, some of which appear to be related to the boundary between the soul and yin and yang." 0
 
Wu Ling added softly, "It seems that this underground space may have been used for some kind of forbidden ritual. These spells and incantations may be the source of the recent anomalies in the palace." 0
 
 
Yun Che nodded, with a thoughtful look on his face: "We need to take these data back and study them carefully to uncover the truth behind all of this." 0
