The Divine Eye for Appreciating Treasures: Starting from Escape from Northern Myanmar

As Zhang Fan's footsteps slowly went deeper into this unknown secret land, the surrounding scenery gradually became ancient and mysterious, as if time had frozen here, and every stone and every leaf carried traces of the years.

The sunlight shines through the dense treetops, dappling on the ground, creating patches of light and shadow, adding a touch of fantasy to this deep forest path.

There is an indescribable freshness and fragrance in the air, which is the breath of nature that is hard to find in the outside world, mixed with the faint scent of flowers and soil. It makes people take a deep breath involuntarily, as if it can wash away the dust in their souls.

All around, exotic flowers and plants are blooming, some are colorful, as gorgeous as a rainbow; others are low-key and restrained, emitting a faint fluorescence, silently showing the miracle of life in the dark.

Zhang Fan walked along a winding path. On both sides of the path, there were towering ancient trees with moss-covered trunks, making the tree trunks look even more ancient.

Occasionally, the clear chirping of birds breaks the silence, adding a bit of vitality to this quiet secret place.

My heart was filled with curiosity and anticipation, but also a bit of vigilance. After all, the mysterious man in black was always following me, making it difficult to feel at ease.

As he went deeper, Zhang Fan discovered that this secret place was much more vast than he had imagined. There were not only dense forests, but also clear streams flowing through. The water was so clear that you could see the bottom. Fish swam freely in the water, occasionally jumping out of the water, drawing silver arcs.

By the stream, wild flowers are in full bloom and butterflies are dancing, forming a vivid natural picture.

What surprised Zhang Fan even more was that deep in the secret realm, there was actually an ancient relic hidden.

Although those ruins have been eroded by wind and rain, they still reveal their past glory and magnificence.

The stone walls are carved with complex totems and runes, which seem to be telling ancient and mysterious stories.

A strong desire to explore surged in Zhang Fan's heart. Perhaps the key clue leading to the core of the secret realm was hidden here.

However, just as Zhang Fan was about to explore further, a subtle noise caught his attention.

He turned around quickly, looking around with sharp eyes. As expected, in a bush not far away, a dark figure was secretly watching him.

That was the man in black who had been following him. He was now carefully hiding his body and trying not to be discovered.

Zhang Fan's heart trembled and he was secretly on guard.

This man in black is definitely not a good guy, and his purpose must be complicated.

But he also understood that he should not act rashly at this moment. After all, he knew too little about this secret place, and rash action would only put himself in a more dangerous situation.

Zhang Fan stood in the ruins forgotten by time. Broken statues of gods were scattered around him. Some were lying prone, some were leaning down, as if whispering about the glory and tragedy of the past.

The afterglow of the setting sun barely penetrated the sparse clouds and sprinkled mottledly on these ancient stone statues, adding a bit of desolation and mystery to this dead place.

Looking around, I couldn't help but feel a little confused and uneasy.

Originally, according to ancient legends and clues, this should be the agreed meeting place. Zhang Fan was looking forward to meeting the legendary guardian, a being who was said to hold key secrets and powers.

However, there was nothing in front of him except the devastation. There was no trace of any guardians in the air, not even a trace of fighting or hasty escape. This unusual calm made Zhang Fan feel even more uneasy.

At this moment, an imperceptible chill quietly invaded his perception range. It was a chill that was incompatible with the surrounding environment and came from an observer in the dark.

Zhang Fan's eyes became sharp in an instant. He calmly adjusted his breathing and heartbeat, trying to minimize his presence. At the same time, he secretly gathered the strength in his body, preparing to deal with possible emergencies.

He thought to himself that the person in black in the dark was obviously not the target of their trip - the guardian, so what did her appearance mean? Was it a coincidence? Or was there another plot?

Zhang Fan knows very well that in this world full of unknowns and dangers, every detail may become the key to determining one's fate.

As night falls, the shadows in the ruins grow deeper and the presence of the man in black becomes more elusive.

In front of the statue, the moonlight barely penetrated the clouds, outlining a vague outline of the hidden man in black.

She didn't seem to intend to hide anymore, but stood frankly on the other side of the statue, forming a subtle confrontation with Zhang Fan.

Her voice was low and magnetic, with a hint of subtle provocation: "What are you doing here?"

Zhang Fan frowned slightly when he heard this, and thought to himself.

The purpose of this trip is clear, so it naturally cannot be easily revealed to this unidentified man in black.

However, facing her direct questioning, Zhang Fan was not to be outdone and asked back: "Who are you? Why are you following me here?"

The man in black did not answer Zhang Fan's question immediately, but fell into a brief silence.

In the moonlight, her figure seemed even more mysterious, as if blending into the surrounding darkness.

After a while, she finally spoke, but did not directly respond to Zhang Fan's question. Instead, she changed the subject and said, "You came here to take away the good stuff inside, right?"

This sentence sounded like nonsense, but Zhang Fan caught a hint of unusual meaning from it.

Zhang Fan realized that the man in black might know something about the purpose of his trip, and might even know more secrets about the ruins.

So, he pretended to be nonchalant and replied: "Isn't it obvious? Otherwise, why would I risk coming here?"

However, Zhang Fan's answer did not reveal any flaws to the man in black.

She still maintained her calmness and mystery, as if everything was under her control.

Zhang Fan was secretly alert in his heart. He knew that this person in black was no ordinary person and her appearance was no accident.

The atmosphere between the two became increasingly tense, and there was a sense of tension in the air.

Zhang Fan began to look at the person in black carefully, trying to find clues from her words and actions.

The man in black remained calm and composed throughout, as if everything was within her expectations.

Just then, a gust of night wind blew by, bringing a bit of coolness, and seemed to blow away some of the tension between the two.

Zhang Fan took a deep breath and decided to change his strategy.

Instead of confronting the Man in Black head-on, he tried to find out her true intentions and identity through dialogue.

"Perhaps we can talk about this," Zhang Fan said slowly. "You seem to know something about my trip, and I am also very curious about you. Why don't we exchange information and see if we can find common goals or interests?"

When the man in black heard this, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, but then he regained his composure.

She seemed to be weighing something, and finally nodded in agreement.
