Siheyuan: The Temptation of the Mountains

Lin Ze rushed back home without stopping and handed the magic herb to Li Xiuzhen, "Mom, give this magic herb to Dad quickly, and he will be able to regain his youth."

Li Xiuzhen took the herbal jelly with tears in her eyes, "Aze, thank you! Mom will never make the same mistake again this time."

After Lin Zhengguo took the magic herb, he instantly felt refreshed and his body became younger and stronger. Lin Ze looked at his parents who had regained their youth and his heart was filled with joy.

The whole family sat together and celebrated this wonderful moment.

However, at this moment, there was a hurried knock on the door. Lin Ze opened the door and saw a strange old man standing at the door, with a mysterious look in his eyes.

The old man said, "Young man, I am the guardian of this valley. The magic herb you picked is a treasure I have guarded for many years. It has magical powers that can not only restore youth, but also cure all diseases in the world. But you picked it without permission, and you must pay the price for it."

Lin Ze was shocked and quickly apologized: "I'm sorry, I didn't know this magical herb was so important. What can I do to make up for my mistake?"

The old man pondered for a moment and said, "Well, since you are doing this out of filial piety, I can give you a chance. You must follow me to the valley and serve as the guardian of the fairy grass to ensure that it will not be abused by others."

Lin Ze thought about it carefully and believed that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, so he made up his mind to follow the mysterious old man to the valley.

After bidding farewell to his parents, he and Xueyao embarked on this new journey together.

After arriving in the valley, Lin Ze guarded those precious magical herbs wholeheartedly. At the same time, he also deeply realized the magical mysteries of nature and the true meaning of life.

Time flies, and several years have passed in the blink of an eye. At this time, Lin Ze finally returned home. To his relief, his family was still safe and sound. After these years of hard work, Lin Ze himself became more and more extraordinary, like an immortal.

As a reward, Lin Ze got more elixirs, and he was finally able to give the elixirs that could prolong life to his younger brothers and sisters.

Lin Ze distributed the magic medicine to his younger brothers and sisters. Seeing their faces filled with happy smiles after drinking it, Lin Ze felt extremely satisfied.

However, at this moment, Lin Ze noticed that his father's face looked a little strange. He walked up to him and asked with concern, "Dad, what's wrong with you?"

The father frowned and said, "Son, I feel a strange power surging in my body."

Lin Ze's heart tightened. Could it be that there was something wrong with the elixir? He quickly used his internal energy to check on his father's physical condition, only to find that there was a black line running through his father's meridians.

Lin Ze was horrified. This was a sign of poisoning! However, he personally guarded this elixir, how could it be poisonous?

Suddenly, he thought of the mysterious old man. Could it be him... Lin Ze decided to find the old man and ask him clearly.

Lin Ze rushed to the valley anxiously, but found that there was no one there. He looked for clues everywhere and finally found a line of small words on a stone wall: "To cure this poison, you need to find rootless water." Lin Ze's heart moved. Rootless water, isn't that rain water?

Lin Ze returned to the city without stopping, quietly waiting for the day when it would rain.

A few days later, rain finally fell from the sky. Lin Ze quickly collected some rainwater in a container, then quickly rushed back home and gave the rainwater to his father to drink.

A miracle happened. My father's symptoms began to gradually improve and eventually he recovered completely.

The stone in Lin Ze's heart finally fell to the ground, but at the same time, a strong sense of doubt and anger surged in his heart.

Who was so cruel that he actually poisoned his own father? He was determined to investigate the matter thoroughly and make sure that person who poisoned him received the due punishment!

After a while, there was still no clue about the poisoning. Lin Ze decided to let it go for now, after all, the safety of his family was the most important thing.

One day, Lin Ze ran into an old friend on the street. During the conversation, he learned that a strange doctor had appeared in the city recently. It was said that this strange doctor had great medical skills and could cure various difficult and complicated diseases, but his treatment method was very strange. When Lin Ze heard this, he had an idea that perhaps this strange doctor could solve the mystery of his father's poisoning.

After many twists and turns, Lin Ze found this strange doctor. After checking Lin's father's pulse, the strange doctor told Lin Ze that the poison was indeed strange, but he was willing to try to detoxify it. Under the strange doctor's treatment, Lin's father's health gradually improved.

Soon after, Lin Ze discovered that every time the strange doctor came to treat Lin's father, he would sneak away. Lin Ze became suspicious and secretly followed the strange doctor, and found out that he was plotting something with the mysterious old man.

Lin Ze was furious and rushed forward to question. It turned out that the mysterious old man's real purpose was to use Lin Ze to obtain the elixir, and then poison Lin's father to threaten Lin Ze to hand over more elixir.

Lin Ze was completely enraged and started a fierce battle with the mysterious old man...

Lin Ze used all his strength to fight the mysterious old man. At the critical moment, Lin Ze found the mysterious old man's flaw and defeated him in one fell swoop.

"You lost!" Lin Ze glared at the mysterious old man.

The mysterious old man fell to the ground, but he kept muttering to himself: "Haha, do you think it's over? The best is yet to come..." Before he finished speaking, his body gradually dissipated and turned into a cloud of black smoke and disappeared.

Lin Ze knows that this matter is not over yet, and there will be more challenges waiting for him in the future. But he is not afraid, because his belief in protecting his family is very firm.

Lin Ze returned home and vowed to protect his family. From then on, he worked harder to practice and improve his strength to deal with unknown crises.

As the days passed, Lin Ze's cultivation improved day by day. However, he could not get rid of the shadow in his heart, and the words of the mysterious old man often echoed in his ears.

One day, Lin Ze received a mysterious letter. The words in the letter exuded a strange atmosphere. His heartbeat accelerated, and an ominous premonition came to his mind. Lin Ze decided to follow the instructions in the letter and go to an ancient ruins.

In the ruins, Lin Ze encountered a series of dangerous traps and powerful enemies, but he relied on his tenacious will and outstanding strength to overcome dangers again and again.

When he came to the depths of the ruins, a mysterious light attracted his attention. A figure vaguely emerged in the light, and it was the mysterious old man!

"You are here after all..." The voice of the mysterious old man echoed in the air.

Lin Ze clenched his fists, a trace of determination flashed in his eyes, "No matter what conspiracy you have, I will not let you succeed!"

A thrilling decisive battle is about to begin...
