Stay away from beasts in the world of Siheyuan

After Yang Xiaoyue waved goodbye to Xu Changping reluctantly, she turned around and walked out of Xu Changping's house.

As soon as she returned home, she immediately began to pack up various items needed for the trip and put them into the space according to categories.

After everything was ready, Yang Xiaoyue hurriedly left the familiar courtyard.

Standing at the gate of the courtyard, Yang Xiaoyue casually glanced around. After making sure that no one noticed her actions, she breathed a sigh of relief and pretended to be calm as she walked quickly towards the toilet.

When she reached the door of the public toilet, Yang Xiaoyue stopped again and stayed for a moment. At the same time, she pricked up her ears to listen to the movements around her, secretly observing whether anyone was following her.

After confirming again and again that no one was following her, she finally felt relieved. Without hesitation, she quickened her pace and quickly disappeared at the end of the alley.

Based on the clues provided on the map in her hand, Yang Xiaoyue went straight to the train station and bought a train ticket heading south without hesitation.

Fortunately, she still had some unused letters of introduction left in her space.

You know, without these letters of introduction, it would be harder than climbing to the sky to leave the city smoothly.

The train swayed and stopped along the way. After nearly three days and three nights of bumpy ride, she finally arrived at the mysterious city marked on the map.

Although Yang Xiaoyue's face was full of fatigue at this moment, her eyes were shining with excitement and anticipation.

There seemed to be a strange smell in the air of Yuncheng, which made Yang Xiaoyue squint her eyes slightly and take a deep breath of the fresh and unfamiliar air.

After squinting her eyes for a while to feel this city which was completely different from Old Beijing, Yang Xiaoyue raised her foot and slowly walked out of the platform.

Although Yang Xiaoyue is in good physical condition now, the long journey and the slow green train seem to have exhausted her patience.

She couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief: she had finally arrived at her destination.

She had originally planned to ask people about the places marked on the map as soon as she got out of the train station, but things did not go as she wished. When she tried to ask, she found that the dialect spoken by the people around her was like a mysterious book, which made her feel at a loss.

Helplessly, Yang Xiaoyue could only give up this idea temporarily and left the train station with slightly heavy steps.

Not long after walking, they saw a state-owned restaurant. Yang Xiaoyue had an idea and walked in.

Sure enough, after Yang Xiaoyue took out the national food coupons as ordinary food coupons to buy meals, the waiter, who spoke slightly awkward and poor Mandarin, told her how to get to her destination.

After filling her stomach, Yang Xiaoyue thanked the enthusiastic waiter and then embarked on a new journey according to the instructions provided by the other party.

Along the way, she walked through the bustling streets, passed by green farmlands, and finally arrived near a completely unfamiliar small village.

The map in her hand clearly marked the route. After finding the starting point, it didn't take long for her to discover a small hill not far from the village, which was exactly the location marked on the map.

After climbing over the not-too-high but quite steep hill, Yang Xiaoyue slowly stepped into a lush and verdant forest.

The trees in this forest are towering into the sky, and their branches and leaves are intertwined to form a natural green sky.

The ground was covered with thick fallen leaves and green grass, dotted with colorful wild flowers.

For Yang Xiaoyue, who possessed the wood power, this place was undoubtedly her home ground. She gently closed her eyes, concentrated her mind, and completely released her power.

In an instant, an invisible force spread out from her, quickly establishing a close connection with the surrounding plants and trees.

The plants that were originally growing quietly seemed to be given life, gently swaying their branches as if welcoming the arrival of this familiar friend.

Yang Xiaoyue felt the information transmitted to her by the plants and trees, and confirmed again and again that no one was following her before she continued forward with peace of mind.

The rest of the journey was not easy as she had to climb over several steep hills with rugged terrain and rugged rocks.

After a day and night of arduous trekking, Yang Xiaoyue finally successfully crossed a wide river with fast-flowing and turbulent waves on the second day.

Standing on the other side of the river, she let out a long sigh and a relieved smile appeared on her face.

Because she knew that as long as she passed through the woods not far in front of her, she would reach the final destination of this trip - the mysterious valley hidden deep in the mountains.

When Yang Xiaoyue slowly walked to the entrance of the valley, a huge and ancient stone tablet suddenly came into view.

This stone tablet looks weathered by time, with its surface covered with moss and traces of weathering, making the ancient characters engraved on it appear even more blurred.

Yang Xiaoyue came forward and looked at it carefully for a while, only to find that the shape and style of these ancient characters were somewhat similar to the pattern on the jade pendant she had been wearing.

This discovery made her feel ecstatic, because she realized that she had finally found the right place after all the hardships.

With excitement, Yang Xiaoyue stepped into the valley carefully.

As soon as she entered the valley, she was stunned by the scene before her.

In the center of the valley stood a large-scale, ancient-style stone altar.

This altar is built with huge stones. Although it is very old, it is still as solid as ever.

The altar is surrounded by several tall and sturdy stone pillars, each of which is carefully carved with various strange symbols and patterns.

Some look like stars in the sky, some are like mysterious runes, and some are shaped like legendary beasts... These exquisite carvings all demonstrate the ancient people's superb skills and infinite wisdom.

Yang Xiaoyue slowly approached the mysterious and ancient altar step by step, and her heartbeat involuntarily quickened.

When she finally got closer, her eyes were immediately attracted by the conspicuous groove in the center of the altar.

The shape of the groove was almost exactly the same as the jade pendant she had been holding tightly in her hand!

Her heart skipped a beat, and an indescribable intuition came to her mind. Without much hesitation, Yang Xiaoyue quickly reached out and took the jade pendant out of the space.

She held her breath and placed the jade pendant into the groove with extreme caution, as if it were a rare treasure.

At the moment when the jade pendant fit perfectly into the groove, the originally silent altar suddenly burst into a somewhat dull sound.

At the same time, the tall stone pillars surrounding the altar began to turn slowly but steadily, each stone pillar carrying a heavy sense of oppression.

As the stone pillars rotated, the solid ground beneath their feet began to shake violently, as if the earth was undergoing a huge change.
