Siheyuan: The Temptation of the Mountains

Although everyone walked out of that strange place, they all looked embarrassed.

Lin Ze knew very well that this bizarre experience was just an insignificant starting point. Behind this confusing incident, there must be more earth-shattering and unknown huge secrets waiting for them to explore.

After returning to the village, Lin Ze made up his mind without hesitation to study the ancient books that had been treasured for a long time in his family. He was looking forward to finding more key clues to help solve the mystery from these yellowed pages. In this way, time passed quietly. One day after a few days, when he was studying hard and constantly checking various books, suddenly, an old scroll with a tattered appearance and covered with dust came into his eyes.

Unfolding the mysterious scroll with trepidation and curiosity, Lin Ze was surprised to find that it vividly depicted the entire scene of the magnificent palace they had stepped into before. Not only that, there were also some sparse and indistinguishable small characters on one side of the palace image. In order to decipher these obscure characters, Lin Ze racked his brains and spent a lot of effort. After a long period of hard thinking and repeated deliberation, he finally barely figured out the meaning.

According to the scroll, the palace was built thousands of years ago by a great master of magic with unfathomable power. Its purpose was to protect a peerless evil object with the power to destroy the world. After learning the truth, Lin Ze couldn't help but take a breath of cold air, and an indescribable shock and astonishment surged in his heart.

However, at this moment, a shrill scream suddenly broke the peaceful atmosphere of the village. Lin Ze's face changed drastically when he heard the scream, and he rushed out of the door as fast as lightning. He looked up and saw that the sky above his head was completely covered by thick black clouds, and it was dark and gloomy. At the same time, a group of mysterious people in black robes and hideous faces were riding strange birds and roaring over.

The guy at the head of this group of black-robed men was holding a magic wand that was emitting a strange light in his hand, and he was laughing wildly: "Hahahaha...you bunch of ignorant guys actually dared to destroy the restrictions of the palace without authorization. Now that evil thing is about to reappear in the world! We are here to take it for ourselves. Whoever dares to stop us will be killed without mercy!" After that, the man glared at Lin Ze fiercely.

Facing such a sudden crisis, Lin Ze's eyes flashed with a sharp cold light. He tightly grasped the jade-like flute in his hand and secretly made up his mind that he would never let this group of vicious villains succeed in their conspiracy. In an instant, the atmosphere of swords being drawn filled the whole place, and a thrilling life-and-death contest was about to be staged again.

Lin Ze snorted coldly and took the lead in attacking. He blew the jade flute, and the sound waves turned into a materialized sharp blade and flew towards the black-robed man.

The black-robed leader waved his wand, and a black barrier rose up, easily blocking the sonic blade.

"Humph, kid, is that all you have?" The black-robed leader sneered with disdain. However, facing this sarcastic remark, Lin Ze's face was as calm as water, and he was not moved at all. He was seen changing the fingering of his ten fingers flexibly, and the originally crisp and pleasant flute sound now became as melodious as the gurgling water.

As the flute sounded, the air around seemed to be pulled by some mysterious force, gradually becoming heavy and stagnant, as if frozen. Then, the air began to condense into transparent cages, firmly trapping the birds circling in the sky.

When the black-robed people saw this scene, they were immediately shocked, with panic and astonishment on their faces. They never thought that this seemingly insignificant boy in front of them actually had such a magical ability.

However, the black-robed leader seemed quite calm. He snorted coldly, muttered something, and swung the magic wand in his hand violently. Several jet-black rays of light suddenly shot out from the tip of the magic wand and bombarded the air cages directly.

With a few crisp sounds, the seemingly indestructible air cages were shattered by the impact of the black light, turning into starlight and dissipating into the void. At the same time, the black-robed leader drove the birds that had regained their freedom to speed up and rushed towards Lin Ze like lightning.

Lin Ze knew that if he fought head-on, he would definitely not gain anything. So, he flashed and disappeared like a ghost. It turned out that he skillfully displayed his ancestral skills, dodged the opponent's fierce attack at an astonishing speed, and appeared behind the group of black-robed men without anyone noticing.

After gaining a firm foothold, Lin Ze blew the jade flute in his hand again without hesitation. This time, the sound of the flute was no longer as melodious as before, but instead carried a gloomy, terrifying, and creepy atmosphere, as if it was the howling of evil spirits coming from the depths of the Nine Nether Hell.

In an instant, the mounts of the black-robed men felt an inexplicable fear and oppression. They began to become restless and neighed constantly. Some of the mounts even completely lost control and started to charge around randomly.

The black-robed leader was furious when he saw this. He roared, leaped off the bird's back, and then took big steps and ran towards Lin Ze fiercely. In the blink of an eye, the two of them came into close combat and started a fierce close combat.

Fists and palms collided, and the energy was overflowing. Lin Ze and the black-robed leader fought back and forth, neither of them giving in. For a while, the fight was indisputable. The moves of both sides were exquisite and dazzling, and the spectators were all excited.

Just as the two sides were in a stalemate, other masters from the village finally arrived in time. Seeing that the situation was not good, they immediately joined the battle and fought side by side with Lin Ze to fight against the group of menacing black-robed people.

With the support of these new forces, the battle situation was reversed in an instant. The black-robed people who had originally had the upper hand gradually fell into a disadvantage, began to struggle and were exhausted. In the end, after a hard battle, everyone worked together to successfully repel the black-robed people and protect the peace of the village.

Although everyone repelled the black-robed man, Lin Ze knew that the matter was far from over. He returned to his room to study the scroll and found that there were more obscure hints about the evil creature. Lin Ze decided to set out to find a way to restrain the evil creature from coming into the world.

He bid farewell to the village and set out on a journey, going through hardships along the way. One day, Lin Ze came to a mysterious valley, which was full of fog. As soon as he entered the valley, he felt a mysterious force pulling him.

Suddenly, a white-haired old man appeared and said that he knew about the evil creature. It turned out that he was the descendant of the person who participated in sealing the evil creature a thousand years ago, and he had been guarding here to prevent anyone from approaching the evil creature. After Lin Ze explained his purpose, the old man nodded in appreciation and gave him a strange jade pendant.

This jade pendant has a powerful sealing power, which may be able to prevent evil from appearing. Lin Ze was very grateful and hurried back to the village with the jade pendant. But when he returned to the village, he found that the sky above the village was filled with evil spirits. It seemed that the group of black-robed people had not given up. Lin Ze held the jade pendant tightly, his eyes were firm, ready to face the upcoming war, and he must protect the village and prevent evil from appearing.
