Siheyuan: I, He Yuzhu, beat up all the beasts!

Just as everyone was about to leave and continue their journey, a deep and mysterious voice sounded in the air: "The path to balance is not achieved in a day. Your journey has just begun..."

Everyone turned around suddenly, but they could not tell the source of the voice in the crowd. It seemed like the whisper of the wind, or the resonance of the soul. The passers-by around them were also confused. Obviously, this sudden voice did not come from

among them.

"Who's there?" He Yuzhu looked around vigilantly, his hand unconsciously reaching for the weapon at his waist.

"Don't be nervous, my friend." The voice sounded again, this time clearer, but the person who spoke was still unknown. "I am the guardian of this ruin. For a long time, I have been waiting for someone who can understand the true meaning of balance. You have given me hope."

"Guardian?" Leah blinked her big eyes and looked around curiously, "But where are you?"

A light breeze blew by, and there seemed to be a slight fluctuation in the air. Then, an illusory figure gradually condensed. It was an old man wearing an ancient robe and with a kind face. When passers-by saw this scene, they stepped back, their faces full of surprise and awe.

...............

"It's amazing!" A young woman covered her mouth and exclaimed softly.

"This... Is this the legendary guardian spirit?" A scholar-looking man next to him pushed his glasses, his eyes flashing with a gleam of curiosity.

The old man smiled, his eyes swept over everyone one by one, and finally stopped at He Yuzhu, "My child, you and your companions have taken an important step. But remember, the way to balance is not only about the balance of power, but also about the harmony of people's hearts. You will face countless challenges, misunderstandings, prejudices, and even malice, which will test your determination."

"We understand." He Yuzhu nodded solemnly, "But as you said, balance is not achieved overnight. We are willing to accept all these challenges."

"Very good." The guardian nodded with satisfaction, "Then, as a recognition of your faith, I will give you a treasure that will help you on your journey."

As soon as the words fell, a beam of light shot out from the guardian's hand, turning into an exquisite pendant, and gently fell into He Yuzhu's palm. In the center of the pendant was a glimmering gem, which seemed to contain infinite wisdom and power.

"This is the 'Key of Wisdom'. It can help you solve many mysteries of the world and see into the good and evil deep in people's hearts." The guardian explained.

"Three one three" "Thank you for your gift." He Yuzhu bowed respectfully, with gratitude and excitement in his heart.

"Now, go, warriors." The guardian's figure gradually faded, but his voice still echoed in everyone's ears, "Let the light of balance shine in every corner, and let the world witness your legend."

The crowd automatically parted to make way for them, and everyone watched them leave with respect. The children's eyes sparkled with longing, and the young people talked about whether they could become such heroes.

"Can they really change the world?" a childish voice sounded.

"Who knows, but at least they dare to embark on this extraordinary path." A middle-aged businessman answered with emotion, his eyes showing both envy and expectation.

He Yuzhu and his team walked along the newly opened road, each step was particularly firm. The words of passers-by were like a spring breeze, gently blowing through their hearts, adding a bit of warmth and motivation to their journey.

"What the old man just said about 'reconciling people's hearts' sounds easy, but it's hard to do." Leah muttered to herself as she walked, frowning slightly.

"Indeed," He Yuzhu chuckled, "but it is worth doing just because it is difficult. Think about those people who suffer from misunderstanding and prejudice. Isn't what we are doing for them?"

"Well said, He Yuzhu!" Aqiang, the blacksmith beside him, patted him on the shoulder. "We should not only fight against external threats, but also become a bridge connecting people's hearts."

As they were discussing, there was a sudden commotion ahead. A group of ragged villagers gathered in a circle, and someone seemed to be arguing in the middle.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way!" He Yuzhu pushed the crowd away and saw two strong men wrestling with each other. The people around them were either persuading or making a fuss. The scene was in chaos.

"Stop!" He Yuzhu shouted, his voice carrying unquestionable authority. The two were stunned for a moment, then separated, staring at each other breathlessly.

"What's going on?" Leah asked an elderly man who looked calmer with concern.

"Well, it's all about the water source." The old man sighed, "It's been a long drought, and the wells in the village are almost dry. These two families are arguing over the last well of water."

He Yuzhu lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then took out the "Key of Wisdom" from his arms. The gem on the pendant shone softly in the sun, and he closed his eyes, as if listening to something.

"Got it." He opened his eyes, his eyes flashing with determination, "Follow me."

The group followed 4.2 and He Yuzhu to a seemingly barren piece of land outside the village. He took out a shovel from his backpack and started digging. Everyone was puzzled, but soon, a stream of clear water gushed out from the ground, shocking the villagers.

"There is a forgotten underground water vein here, which is enough to supply the entire village." He Yuzhu explained with a satisfied smile on his face.

"Miracle! What a miracle!" The villagers cheered, and the previous dispute seemed to disappear in an instant.

"It seems that you can really bring about change." The scholar-looking man appeared in the crowd at some point. He pushed his glasses, his eyes full of admiration.

As night fell, He Yuzhu and his group sat around the campfire amid the warm hospitality of the villagers. The children gathered around He Yuzhu, listening to him tell about his adventures on the journey, their eyes sparkling with infinite longing for the future.

"Brother 03, where are you going next?" a child asked curiously.

He Yuzhu looked up at the starry sky, where there were many stars, as if guiding their direction.

“Wherever there is imbalance, there we are. Our journey is to the stars and the sea, as well as to the depths of human hearts.”

"But, big brother, there are so many injustices in the world. Can you guys really solve all the problems?" another child asked innocently, with admiration and a hint of worry in his eyes.

He Yuzhu smiled and rubbed the child's head. His smile was warm and firm: "Little guy, strength does not lie in the number of people, but in the will of the heart. As long as someone is willing to stand up, it is enough to ignite the spark of hope. And we are

Be the first flame."

Upon hearing this, the villagers sitting around nodded and talked in low voices. Their words were full of admiration and trust for these young warriors.

"I always heard that heroes only exist in legends, but I didn't expect to see one with my own eyes today." A young peasant woman said with emotion, her eyes moving over He Yuzhu and others with full admiration.

"Yes, they are not only powerful, but also so kind. They are truly treasures of the world." An old hunter nearby echoed, a rare smile on his weathered face.

Just when the atmosphere was warm, a burst of hurried footsteps interrupted it all. A panicked young man rushed into the crowd and said breathlessly: "Oh no, there was a landslide in the mine over the mountain, and many people are trapped inside!"

The crowd suddenly fell into chaos, with cries and screams intertwined. He Yuzhu and others quickly exchanged glances. Without saying anything, they already knew each other's decision.

"Don't panic, we'll go and check out the situation." He Yuzhu stood up and spoke in a steady and powerful voice, like a stabilizing force, which gradually calmed the panicked crowd.

The group immediately set off, rushing through the night towards the mine on the other side of the mountain. On the way, they met many villagers who had rushed over after hearing the news, and everyone's face was filled with anxiety and helplessness.

"Look, those are the warriors!" Someone in the crowd recognized them, which immediately caused a chain reaction.

"They are here, we are saved!" A woman 867 excitedly pulled the child beside her, with hope glittering in her eyes.

"I really hope I can do something for others like them." A young man murmured to himself, with both envy and determination in his tone.

When we arrived at the mine, we were shocked by the sight. Huge rocks and mud had completely blocked the entrance to the mine, and occasionally we could hear faint cries for help coming from inside. Rescue work had already started on its own, but progress was slow.

"Let me do it." He Yuzhu stepped forward, clasped his hands, and a strange light gathered in his palms. This was the mysterious power he gained during his journey - the breath of the earth, which could communicate with natural elements and mobilize the power of the earth.

As he chanted in a low voice, the ground shook slightly, and the originally indestructible boulders slowly moved away, revealing a rescue passage. Everyone present was shocked, and even the strong men who participated in the rescue stopped their work and stared at the scene in amazement.

"Is this... is this magic?" a miner asked in disbelief, his voice trembling.

"No, this is the power of faith and courage." Leah responded with a smile, her eyes full of trust and pride in her partner.

After an intense rescue operation, the trapped miners were finally rescued safely, and cheers broke out at the scene. When the last miner was helped out, he burst into tears and tightly held He Yuzhu's hand: "Thank you, you gave us a second life."

As the night deepened, under the starlight, He Yuzhu and his team quietly left the mine and continued to move forward towards the unknown distance. Their backs, reflected in the moonlight, looked particularly tall.

"Do you think we can really change the world?" Leah asked softly, with both expectation and uncertainty in her tone.

"As long as we keep moving forward, nothing is impossible." He Yuzhu looked back with a firm smile, "Every helping hand and every effort we make will bring more light to this world."

As they walked back to the village, villagers spontaneously lined up on both sides of the road, holding lanterns to light the way home. Children ran in front, excitedly discussing the heroic deeds of the night.

"Look, the big brothers are back!" A little boy pointed at the figures in the distance and jumped up excitedly.

"They really did it, just like the heroes in the story!" The little girl next to him had admiration in her eyes.

of light.

The villagers came forward one after another, some handed over water bottles, some brought food, and their gratitude was beyond words.

"You are our guardian angels. Thank you for your bravery and selflessness." An elder held He Yuzhu's hand with red eyes.

"Old man, protecting everyone is what we should do." He Yuzhu answered modestly, but a warm feeling surged in his heart.

Just as everyone was immersed in joy, a deep and mysterious voice suddenly sounded in the crowd: "Your strength is indeed admirable, but in the wider world, there are more challenges waiting for you."

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw a stranger in a cloak slowly walking towards them. His face was hidden in the shadows, only his eyes were shining with wisdom.

"Who are you?" He Yuzhu asked vigilantly, and subconsciously stood in front of everyone.

"It doesn't matter who I am, what matters is why I'm here." The stranger smiled, "I'm here to guide you towards a more glorious future. Outside this world, there are countless secrets and unknowns, where the key to unlocking the mystery of all the injustices in the world is hidden. (Liao Zhao's)"
