Siheyuan: The Temptation of the Mountains

Although Lin Ze still had some doubts about the woman, he recalled that he had not noticed any obvious malice from her when he was with her before, so he decided to follow her. The two of them traveled through mountains and rivers and finally came to a very hidden valley. The valley was full of green trees and gurgling streams, and the environment was quiet and pleasant. In the depths of the valley, there stood a seemingly ordinary little house.

When Lin Ze just stepped into the hut, something strange happened! Suddenly, a group of mysterious people in black clothes appeared around him. They all held sharp blades and had fierce looks on their faces. They quickly surrounded Lin Ze. Faced with this sudden change, Lin Ze secretly cried out in his heart that something was wrong. He subconsciously held the sword tightly in his hand and concentrated on dealing with the crisis in front of him.

However, the woman who led Lin Ze here was smiling at the moment, standing aside gracefully, watching the trapped Lin Ze as if watching a play. She said in a delicate voice: "Lin Ze, Lin Ze, you are so naive! Do you really think that there are benefits in the world that can be obtained so easily? Just hand over the secret book obediently, and maybe I can spare your life."

Hearing the woman's words, Lin Ze was immediately furious. He widened his eyes, glared at the woman, and asked in a stern voice: "Why did you lie to me? I thought you were not a wicked person, but I didn't expect you to be so vicious!"

Upon hearing this, the woman sneered and said, "Humph! This secret book should have originally belonged to me. If it weren't for the fact that you still have some ability, why would I have wasted my energy to play a trick with you for so long? If you know what's good for you, hand over the secret book quickly, otherwise don't blame me for being rude!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Ze snorted coldly and responded, "If you want to get the secret book, you must first see if you have the strength to do so! Even if we are outnumbered today, I, Lin Ze, will never surrender easily!" Before he finished speaking, Lin Ze flashed and attacked the group of men in black like lightning.

Although the other side had a large number of people, Lin Ze, relying on the powerful strength given by the magical skills he had recently learned, was able to fight these black-clothed men to a standstill for a while, and he did not fall into a disadvantageous trend at all. The two sides fought back and forth, and the sword shadows intertwined, and the scene was extremely intense.

After a thrilling fight, Lin Ze finally found the right opportunity and a breakthrough. He exerted his strength and broke through the encirclement of the men in black. Then he used his exquisite Qinggong skills and rushed away like a flying bird, disappearing in the vast mountains and forests in an instant.

After successfully escaping the enemy's pursuit, Lin Ze panted heavily and secretly swore in his heart: When my power increases greatly in the future, I will definitely come back to ask this woman for an explanation and make her pay the price for what she did today!

Lin Ze hid in the mountains and forests for several days and only showed up after making sure that no one was following him.

He knew that his own strength was not enough, so he looked everywhere for ways to improve his skills.

I accidentally heard that there was a priceless treasure in an ancient cave that could help me cultivate my inner strength.

Lin Ze overcame many difficulties and obstacles along the way, and finally found the legendary mysterious cave. When he stepped into the cave with great expectations, he was surprised to find that the woman who had deceived him was also here! It turned out that this woman also came for the treasure in the cave.

Although Lin Ze was filled with anger and resentment at the moment, his years of experience in the martial arts world prevented him from rushing up to the woman to settle the score. After all, the most important thing at the moment was how to deal with the situation in front of him.

The woman was obviously surprised when she saw Lin Ze suddenly appear. But soon, she returned to her previous arrogant attitude, as if she didn't take Lin Ze seriously at all.

Just as the woman was about to rush to grab the treasure, something unexpected happened - the mechanism in the cave was suddenly triggered! In an instant, countless extremely sharp arrows shot out from all directions, like a dense rain of arrows, leaving no escape.

Faced with such a dangerous situation, Lin Ze and the woman had to temporarily put aside their grudges and hatreds and work together to find a way to avoid the sharp arrows. In this process, Lin Ze fully utilized his intelligence and experience. While he flexibly dodged the flying arrows, he carefully observed the surrounding environment and tried to find the flaws of the mechanism.

At the same time, Lin Ze also showed a magnanimous mind. Although he was still dissatisfied with the woman, he did not hesitate to share his insights on the mechanism with her. After hearing Lin Ze's analysis, the woman couldn't help but look at him with a new eye, and a trace of guilt gradually rose in her heart.

Finally, after a thrilling effort, the two of them successfully avoided all the arrows. At this time, the woman took a deep breath, walked to Lin Ze, bowed her head and sincerely apologized to him. She said that she was willing to completely give up the fight for the secret book, and hoped to work with Lin Ze to explore the cave in depth, find more treasures, and then distribute the obtained treasures fairly and reasonably to make up for the mistakes she had made before.

Lin Ze stared at the woman quietly. After a moment of silence, he nodded slightly, indicating that he agreed to her proposal. In this way, the two people who were originally at odds with each other reached a cooperation agreement again, and began to move forward side by side, continuing their adventure in the cave.

The two walked cautiously into the depths of the cave. The further they went, the darker the light became, and there was a faint chill. Suddenly, a low roar was heard, and the ground shook slightly. Lin Ze held the sword tightly, and the woman also drew the whip from her waist and became alert.

A huge monster slowly walked out of the shadows. Its body was as big as a mountain, and its eyes were shining with a faint green light. Lin Ze and the woman looked at each other, and they understood each other, and attacked the monster at the same time. Lin Ze's swordsmanship was sharp, piercing the monster's vital points, while the woman used a soft whip to wrap around the monster's limbs to restrict its movement.

But the monster had thick skin and flesh, and although their attacks were effective, they did not cause fatal injuries. During the fierce battle, Lin Ze discovered that there was a lighter scale on the monster's abdomen, which seemed to be a weak point. He shouted to warn the woman, and the two of them attacked there together.

After a hard fight, they finally killed the monster. At this time, they were exhausted, but a portal emitting strange light appeared in front of them. Lin Ze and the woman smiled at each other, supported each other and walked towards the door. With the expectation of unknown treasures, they stepped into it, not knowing what kind of adventure or danger was waiting for them.
