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

"Yes, but we must also remember that true peace requires our continuous efforts to maintain it."

Looking into the distance, there is both the joy of victory and deep thought for the future in his eyes.

"He Yuzhu, you are truly a miracle maker!" The blacksmith patted He Yuzhu on the shoulder, his tone full of respect.

"No, it's all of us who created this miracle together." He Yuzhu turned around and smiled at everyone, "As long as we have hope in our hearts, nothing is impossible."

In the town square, people gathered around He Yuzhu, their faces filled with joy of surviving the disaster and infinite longing for the future. The ruins around seemed to be telling the story of the thrilling battle last night, but at this moment, the sun was shining, and everything seemed so vibrant.

"Lord He Yuzhu, how did you do it? That light is like a miracle!" A young mother held her child, her eyes sparkling with curiosity and admiration.

…………

He Yuzhu smiled and shook his head. "It's not me. It's the light in everyone's heart that gathers into that power. It's our common belief that dispels the darkness."

"But we heard that you heard a voice. Was it the legendary guardian angel guiding you?" An old man asked tremblingly, leaning on a cane. The crowd around him suddenly quieted down, holding their breath and waiting for He Yuzhu's answer.

He Yuzhu's gaze became profound, as if he was recalling the wonder of that moment. "I don't know if it was a guardian angel, but I know that when we face despair, there is always a power deep in our hearts. As long as we believe, we can awaken it."

At this time, Elena came over with a trace of worry in her eyes, "He Yuzhu, although we won this battle, the threat of the shadow dragon has not been completely eliminated. We need to find their nest and solve this problem once and for all."

"You're right, we must take the initiative." He Yuzhu nodded and turned to the crowd, "Friends, we

I still need an adventure. Who is willing to go with me for the sake of permanent peace?"

As soon as the words fell, there was a burst of response from the crowd, and everyone was willing to contribute his or her own strength.

"I do! I'm willing to go through fire and water so that the children will no longer be afraid of the night!" a strong man shouted loudly, and his wife nodded silently beside him, her eyes full of pride.

"And me, although I only know how to farm, I am strong and can help!" said the old farmer.

The seven-year-old man raised his hoe again, his eyes gleaming with undying determination.

"I'll go too. I want to witness with my own eyes how light drives out all darkness!" The young apprentice jumped up excitedly, his eyes burning with a desire for the unknown.

"Okay, that's settled then." He Yuzhu looked around, feeling touched. "We must not only destroy the Shadow Dragon, but also find the source of that mysterious power and uncover its secrets."

Just as everyone was getting ready to leave, a strange figure slowly walked into the square. He was wearing a strange robe, his face was hidden by a hood, revealing only a pair of deep eyes that seemed to be able to see into people's hearts.

"He Yuzhu, I have been looking for someone like you." The stranger's voice was low and magnetic. "The voice you heard did come from an ancient existence. I am the guardian of knowledge and am willing to guide you to the source of power."

The crowd was in an uproar, with all kinds of speculation and discussion going on.

"Lord He Yuzhu, can this man be trusted?" the blacksmith asked warily, his hammer clenched secretly.

He Yuzhu stared at the mysterious visitor, with mixed emotions in his heart. "If this is the only way to find the answer, I'm willing to give it a try. But before that, I need your name and more information."

The stranger smiled and slowly took off his hood. "My name is Saruman, and I come from the distant Tower of Wisdom. Follow me.

Come, you will find a world that is wider than you imagined."

"Then, Saruman, lead the way." He Yuzhu nodded, turned around and said to everyone, "Friends, I must embark on this journey for our future. Please believe that I will bring back true peace."

As He Yuzhu finished speaking, the discussion in the crowd gradually subsided, replaced by a firm trust and expectation. They knew that He Yuzhu never gave up easily, and every decision he made carried everyone's hope.

"Lord He Yuzhu, please come back safely!" A mother hugged her child tightly, her eyes red, but she still held back her tears and gave the most sincere blessing.

"Don't worry, Mom. Lord He Yuzhu is the bravest hero. He will definitely succeed!" The child looked up, his childish voice filled with endless admiration for He Yuzhu.

"We will wait for the news of your triumphant return at home!" another villager shouted loudly, and then thunderous applause and cheers rang out in the entire square, as if celebrating in advance for the heroic feat of He Yuzhu and his group.

Saruman slightly turned sideways, motioning He Yuzhu to follow, and the two walked out of the crowd side by side, followed by Elena, the strong man, the old farmer, the young apprentice, and more warriors who volunteered to join. Their figures gradually went away until they disappeared on the horizon, leaving only a series of firm and hopeful footsteps echoing in the air.

A few days later, under the leadership of Saruman, the group passed through the dark forest, crossed the steep mountains, and came to an ancient ruins hidden from the world. The gate of the ruins was engraved with complex runes, emitting a faint light, as if telling the vicissitudes of thousands of years.

"This is the source of power - the Fountain of Eternity." Saruman said softly, his eyes revealing awe and nostalgia. "Only those with pure hearts and chosen ones can unlock its secrets."

He Yuzhu stared at the door, his heart surging with unprecedented excitement and nervousness. He slowly stepped forward and stretched out his hand to touch the ancient runes. At that moment, a warm and powerful force surged from his palm, and the entire ruins seemed to come alive, shining brightly.

"Look, it's Lord He Yuzhu!" someone in the team exclaimed, and everyone's face was filled with shock and awe.

"He really did it! He really is the chosen one!" Tears flashed in the young apprentice's eyes, which showed his infinite longing for the future.

Just as everyone was immersed in shock, a low roar came from the depths of the ruins, and the ground began to shake slightly, as if something was awakening.

"Everyone be careful, it seems we are not alone." Elena quickly drew out her sword and looked around vigilantly.

"Yes, the guardians of the Fountain of Eternity, they will not let anyone approach easily." Saruman explained, but there was no fear in his tone.

Suddenly, a huge gargoyle leaped out of the shadows, its wings spread out to cover the sky and it let out a deafening roar.

"Prepare for battle!" He Yuzhu shouted, the long sword in his hand gleaming coldly in the sun. He was the first to rush towards the gargoyle, and the others followed suit. A battle of fate had begun.

In the fierce battle, He Yuzhu dealt with the gargoyles, and each confrontation was accompanied by thunderous sounds. His swordsmanship was precise and swift, and every swing embodied his love for this land and his determination to protect it.

"Master He Yuzhu, you are so handsome!" The young apprentice couldn't help but admire while dodging the gargoyle's attack.

"Yes, I have never seen such a brave warrior." The old farmer panted, but the hoe in his hand was still as steady as a rock.

Just as the battle was becoming increasingly intense, He Yuzhu seized the opportunity and pierced the gargoyle's heart with a sword. The huge body fell to the ground with a bang, and the dust settled.

"We...we won!" The strong man looked at the fallen gargoyle in disbelief, his joy and pride beyond words.

Just as everyone took a breath, the light of the Eternal Fountain became more dazzling, and a dazzling gem emerged in the center of the spring, emitting gentle yet powerful energy fluctuations.

"This is the source of power, and it will guide us to final victory." Saruman slowly walked towards the gem, with unprecedented determination in his eyes.

"But how should this power be used? What kind of changes will it bring?" He Yuzhu stepped forward, his eyes filled with both expectation and worry.

"This is exactly what we are going to explore next, He Yuzhu." Saruman gently stroked the gem and turned to look into the distance. "The road ahead is still long, but as long as we have faith in our hearts, light will eventually illuminate every corner."

"Then, let us meet the challenge together, for light and for peace." He Yuzhu said firmly, his voice echoing in the ruins like a vow and also like a preview.

"Well said, Master He Yuzhu!" Elena nodded in approval, the tip of her sword gently touching the ground, her gesture revealing fearlessness and determination, "No matter what kind of trial lies ahead, we will fight side by side."

"Yes, for the sake of our homeland, we are fearless!" The young apprentice echoed excitedly, with a determined light flashing in his eyes, as if at this moment, he had also found his mission.

"Even my old bones will contribute to this glorious cause." The old farmer patted his hoe. Although he was old, his indomitable will was moving.

The sturdy man put his arm around the young apprentice's shoulders and said with a heroic smile, "Boy, follow Master He Yuzhu, our future stories will be more exciting than the legends told by those bards!"

Among the people around, discussions arose again, but this time, in addition to wonder and admiration, there was more of an infinite yearning for the future and a desire to participate in it.

"It's incredible that Lord He Yuzhu can actually awaken the power of the Eternal Fountain!" A woman covered her mouth, her eyes full of shock.

"Yes, with him around, there is hope for our future." An old man nearby sighed, tears flashing in his eyes, which was the expectation for a better life.

"I heard that a true hero can not only defeat external enemies, but also overcome the fear in his heart..." A child looked up at the sky, his eyes shining with admiration for He Yuzhu, "Lord He Yuzhu, you are such a hero, right?"

"That's right, kid." A middle-aged man squatted down and gently touched the child's head. "Remember, courage and wisdom are the power that each of us can possess."

Just as everyone was immersed in the joy of victory and their vision for the future, Saruman slowly raised the dazzling gem, which shone brightly, as if responding to the hopes in everyone's heart.

"Friends, this power belongs to each of us, but how we use it will test our wisdom and determination." Saruman's words were steady and powerful, echoing above the ruins, causing everyone to involuntarily quiet down and listen to this call from the depths of their souls.

"Lord He Yuzhu, what do you think?" Elena turned her head and asked, her eyes showing both trust and expectation, as if at this moment, He Yuzhu's choice would determine their fate.

He Yuzhu stared at the sword in his hand. The light on the sword echoed with the gem in the distance. He took a deep breath and looked ahead with a firm gaze at the unknown journey ahead.

"Power itself is neither good nor bad. The key lies in the heart of the user." He spoke slowly. Although his voice was soft, every word was weighty. "We will use this power to heal wounds, rebuild our homes, and let light shine in every corner. But at the same time, we must also be vigilant to prevent this power from becoming a new disaster."

"Master He Yuzhu is right. Power is a double-edged sword. It can create as well as destroy." Elena nodded in agreement. She raised the tip of her sword slightly, as if she had cut a crack of hope in the air. "What we have to do is guide it and make it the light that illuminates the darkness."
