Siheyuan: The Temptation of the Mountains

Time flies, and the end of the year is approaching.

Lin Ze hasn't sent food to Lin Zhengguo for a long time.

Since his grandfather Lin Changgui's house was close enough, he would often visit and bring some food and prey.

Lin Ze and Xue Yao continued to live and practice in this forest, and their reputation became more and more famous.

When the surrounding villages learned of their heroic deeds, they came to ask for help.

Lin Ze and Xue Yao readily agreed. Wearing homemade metal masks, they helped the villagers solve various problems and resist the invasion of monsters.

That day, Lin Ze and Xue Yao were resting at home when they suddenly heard a burst of anxious shouting outside the hot spring valley. The two of them went out of the formation and saw a strange old man standing at the entrance of the hot spring valley with an anxious look on his face.

The old man told Lin Ze that his village was attacked by a powerful monster and many villagers were injured. He begged Lin Ze and Xue Yao to go and help.

Lin Ze and Xue Yao did not hesitate at all and immediately followed the old man to the village. When they arrived at the village, they found it was a mess with injured people everywhere.

Lin Ze and Xue Yao looked at each other and decided to join forces to deal with the monster. They used their own unique skills and started a fierce battle with the monster.

After a hard fight, Lin Ze and Xue Yao finally succeeded in defeating the monster and saving the entire village. The villagers were so grateful to them that they gave them gifts and words of thanks.

While celebrating their victory, Lin Ze and Xue Yao also realized that the appearance of this monster was not accidental. They seemed to be driven by some kind of power to attack human villages so frequently.

In order to find the truth, Lin Ze and Xue Yao decided to go deep into the forest to investigate the cause of the monsters. Deep in the forest, they found a mysterious cave with a strange atmosphere.

Just as they were about to enter the cave, a sudden gust of wind blew and swept them in...

"Xueyao, are you okay?"

In the dark cave, Lin Ze held Xue Yao's hand tightly and asked worriedly.

"I'm fine. Lin Ze, quickly chant the incantation to light up the cave."

After hearing this, Lin Ze immediately made some hand gestures, but there was no response from inside the cave.

"What's going on?" Lin Ze frowned.

At this time, a deep laugh came from the darkness, "Haha, do you think this is an ordinary cave?"

"Who?" Lin Ze and Xue Yao were shocked.

"I am the guardian beast of this place. Anyone who trespasses will die!" As the voice rang out, a powerful aura surged in from all directions.

Lin Ze and Xue Yao were instantly oppressed and unable to move.

Is he going to die here? A trace of despair welled up in Lin Ze's heart.

"But..." The voice suddenly changed the subject, "If you can answer one of my questions, I can let you go."

When Lin Ze and Xue Yao heard this, a glimmer of hope flashed in their eyes.

"What's the problem?" Lin Ze asked.

"Among all things in the world, which one is the strongest?" the voice said slowly.

Lin Ze and Xue Yao fell into deep thought, knowing full well that the answer to this question was related to their life and death.

At this moment, Xue Yao had a flash of inspiration in her mind, "State of mind! Only with a firm state of mind can one be invincible in the world!"

The voice was silent for a moment, then said: "Congratulations, you got the answer right." As soon as the voice fell, the pressure around them suddenly disappeared.

Lin Ze and Xue Yao breathed a sigh of relief. They looked at each other with relief in their eyes.

"Since you have passed the test, I will give you a gift." The voice sounded again, and then a ball of light floated out from the darkness and fell into Lin Ze's hands.

Lin Ze took a closer look and found that he was holding an ancient secret book.

"This is..." Lin Ze said in surprise.

"This is a secret book about cultivating the state of mind. If you understand it well, it will help you reach a higher level." After the voice finished speaking, it disappeared.

Lin Ze and Xue Yao looked at each other, their hearts filled with gratitude.

They decided to leave the cave and continue exploring the secrets of the forest. At the same time, they also tried to improve their state of mind to cope with future challenges.

Lin Ze and Xue Yao walked out of the cave and continued to move forward in the forest.

As they walked, they came to the foot of a mountain.

In front of us is a towering mountain with clouds and mist shrouded the top, giving people a mysterious feeling.

"Maybe there are some secrets hidden in this mountain." Xue Yao said.

"Let's go up and take a look." Lin Ze looked determined.

So, the two began to climb the mountain.

Along the way, they encountered various rugged terrains and bad weather, but they overcame all the difficulties with their tenacious perseverance.

Finally, they reached the top of the mountain.

The scene before them shocked them—there was a huge ancient temple on the top of the mountain!

The walls of the temple flickered with strange light, as if containing endless mysteries.

Lin Ze and Xue Yao walked into the temple cautiously, which was filled with a solemn atmosphere.

In the center of the hall, there is a mysterious statue.

The statue is lifelike and exudes a frightening aura of oppression.

"What is this statue..." Xue Yao asked puzzledly.

Lin Ze stared at the statue, and suddenly, he seemed to see a flash of light in the statue's eyes.

"I understand! This is the statue of the God of Mind!" Lin Ze said excitedly.

"The God of Mind?" Xue Yao looked puzzled.

"That's right! The secret book I just got in the cave was left by the God of Mind. This must be the temple of the God of Mind!"

Lin Ze excitedly stroked the statue, feeling the power contained in it.

At this moment, the statue suddenly burst into dazzling light, enveloping Lin Ze and Xue Yao.

After the light faded, Lin Ze and Xue Yao found that their state of mind had greatly improved.

They smiled at each other, their hearts filled with joy.

"It seems that we are one step closer to the truth." Xue Yao said.

"Well, let's keep moving forward." Lin Ze nodded.

With a vision of the unknown, the two left the temple and continued on their journey of exploration...

After leaving the temple, Lin Ze and Xue Yao met a white-haired old man in the forest. The old man claimed to be the guardian of the forest. He told Lin Ze and Xue Yao that there was a mysterious relic in the forest, which was said to contain endless treasures and powerful magic weapons.

After hearing this, Lin Ze and Xue Yao decided to follow the old man to the ruins to find out. In the ruins, they encountered various traps and powerful monsters, but they resolved them one by one with their extraordinary skills and tacit understanding.

Finally, they found the core area of ​​the ruins and discovered a sword shining with mysterious light. The old man told them that this sword was an ancient artifact with the power to destroy the world.

Lin Ze and Xue Yao held the sword in their hands, and suddenly felt a strong power surge in their hearts. They decided to use this sword to protect the forest and the people and become true heroes.
