Siheyuan: The Temptation of the Mountains

Lin Ze and the woman immediately concentrated on studying the spells in this ancient book. They followed the instructions in the book and began to try to practice Qigong. After some effort, Lin Ze was the first to feel a strong force flowing through his body. Seeing this, the woman was not to be outdone and stepped up her practice.

At this critical moment, a noisy sound suddenly came from outside the cave. The sound was getting closer and closer. It was obvious that the search team of the black-robed man was gradually approaching the cave. After hearing this sound, Lin Ze clenched his fists tightly, and even sweat oozed out of his palms, but his eyes were extremely firm. After a short thought, he resolutely made up his mind to take the initiative and not sit and wait for death!

Lin Ze took a deep breath, quickly mobilized the magic power he had just learned, made hand gestures, and muttered something. In an instant, a dazzling and sharp blade of light shot out from his hands and flew out of the cave like lightning.

The black-robed men were searching aggressively, and had never expected to be attacked so suddenly. For a moment, they were caught off guard and their positions were thrown into disarray. Some of them fled in panic, while others hastily raised their weapons to try to block the powerful blade of light.

At the same time, the woman who had been hiding behind Lin Ze saw this and did not hesitate to use the magic she was good at. She opened her red lips and chanted a spell, and instantly countless colorful petals fluttered in the air, as beautiful as dancing butterflies. These petals seemed weak, but in fact they contained great power, and they swept towards the people in black robes.

The cooperation between Lin Ze and the woman was perfect and tacit. One used the light blade to attack head-on, and the other used the flower petals to interfere from the side, making it difficult for the black-robed people to take care of both ends and be overwhelmed. In this way, they rushed out of the cave bravely while the black-robed people were leaderless and in chaos, and forcibly cut a bloody path.

Although the number of black-robed men far exceeded that of Lin Ze and the other man, at this moment, relying on the new magic spells they had just learned and the flawless cooperation between each other, Lin Ze and the woman became more and more courageous and gradually gained the upper hand.

This fierce battle lasted for a long time, and both sides tried their best. The ground was covered with blood and broken limbs, and the scene was very tragic. However, in the end, the black-robed men had to retreat due to heavy casualties. Looking at the backs of the black-robed men who fled in a panic, Lin Ze and the woman finally breathed a sigh of relief and sat on the ground exhausted.

After a short rest, they stared at each other, their eyes showing a hint of joy of surviving the disaster. Then, they smiled at each other at the same time, as if all the hardships and dangers had disappeared at this moment.

They deeply understand that this dangerous experience not only allowed them to successfully escape the enemy's pursuit, but also greatly strengthened their own strength and ability to deal with crises. From now on, no matter how difficult and dangerous the challenge is, they have the confidence to face it calmly.

After a little tidying up, Lin Ze carefully put the extremely precious crystal ball into his arms, and the woman also carried the mysterious ancient book on her back. Then, the two of them joined hands and once again embarked on a long and unknown journey ahead. They carried their vision and expectations for the future, ready to bravely explore the wonderful world full of infinite possibilities.

The two walked along the path and soon saw an ancient town. There was a stone tablet at the entrance of the town with some strange runes engraved on it. After entering the town, they found that the residents here were in a hurry and vigilant in their eyes. Lin Ze went up to ask an old man, who looked at them for a while before slowly speaking. It turned out that there have been many supernatural events in this town recently, and many residents have disappeared inexplicably. Lin Ze and the woman looked at each other and decided to stay and help.

Night fell quietly, and the dark night covered the earth. Lin Ze and the woman quietly lurked near a house where strange noises were often heard, watching the movements around them nervously.

Suddenly, a chilly and biting wind whistled past, as if it came from the netherworld, making people shudder. The temperature around them dropped sharply in an instant, and the cold air spread. Even breathing could feel the ice in the air.

In the pitch-black darkness, a few dark shadows could be seen emerging slowly. Their bodies were distorted beyond recognition, looking very strange and creepy.

Seeing this, Lin Ze launched the attack without hesitation. He muttered something, and a dazzling spell suddenly shot out, rushing straight towards the black shadows. However, these black shadows were extremely agile and easily avoided the spell, and counterattacked towards Lin Ze at an astonishing speed.

The woman next to her reacted quickly, and threw out a handful of colorful petals. The petals flew and intertwined in the air, instantly forming a solid barrier, successfully resisting the pounce of the black shadow.

When the two sides were at a stalemate, Lin Ze keenly noticed that these shadows seemed to have a deep fear of fire. With an idea in his mind, he immediately cast a powerful fire spell. The blazing flames soared into the sky, illuminating the entire area as bright as day.

The shadows screamed in agony under the light of the fire. They struggled desperately to escape, but the flames entangled them tightly like a thorn in their bones. Gradually, the shadows were burned smaller and smaller, and finally turned into wisps of black smoke and dissipated into nothingness.

As the last black shadow completely disappeared, the originally eerie atmosphere also dissipated. The town regained its former tranquility and peace, and residents came out of their homes one after another to express their heartfelt gratitude for Lin Ze and the woman's heroic behavior.

People sent various supplies to express their gratitude. Lin Ze and the woman gladly accepted the kindness. After replenishing the necessary supplies, they set out on a new journey again, continuing to move forward to distant places to explore more unknown mysteries and wonders.

After leaving the town, Lin Ze and the woman walked into a dense forest. As they walked, the sky suddenly darkened, dark clouds gathered, and then big raindrops poured down. They hurriedly looked for a place to shelter from the rain, found a tree hole, and crawled in.

There was a strange fragrance in the tree hole. As soon as Lin Ze sat down, he felt the ground under his feet shaking slightly. He became alert, and the woman clenched her fists. Suddenly, an entrance opened at the bottom of the tree hole, and a strange light flashed inside. Curious, they went down through the entrance and came to an underground palace.
