The sun is just right and the breeze is not dry. The shops on both sides of the street are bustling with people, and there is a bit of tranquility in the hustle and bustle. Lin Xuan and Lu Chenxi walked side by side in this bustling city, their figures looking particularly harmonious in the sunshine.
"Lin Xuan, do you remember our favorite food of candied haws when we were kids?" Lu Chenxi suddenly stopped and pointed to a stall in the distance.
Lin Xuan followed her gaze and saw an old man holding a bunch of crystal-clear candied haws. The sugar coating shone seductively in the sun, as if each hawthorn was wrapped in a layer of golden sugar coating.
"Of course I remember." Lin Xuan smiled and nodded, "At that time, every time you went out on the street, you were always clamoring to eat candied haws. I still remember that after eating, you always had a little candied sugar on the corner of your mouth, which looked very cute."
"Oh, you still said that." Lu Chenxi blushed slightly and lightly hit Lin Xuan, "Back then, you laughed at me every time and said I was like a greedy little cat."
"What I said is true." Lin Xuan joked, "But having said that, I haven't eaten candied haws in a long time. How about we go try it?"
"Okay!" Lu Chenxi's eyes lit up and he immediately pulled Lin Xuan towards the stall.
Arriving at the stall, the old man greeted warmly: "You two young people, come and try my candied haws. I guarantee you will have endless aftertaste."
Lin Xuan and Lu Chenxi each chose a bunch of candied haws, and after paying the money, they couldn't wait to taste it. The sweet and sour taste immediately filled the mouth, as if it brought the two of them back to that carefree childhood.
"How is it? Does it taste the same as when you were a kid?" Lu Chenxi asked.
"Yes, exactly the same." Lin Xuan nodded, "The taste of this candied haws, just like the memories between us, will never change."
The two chatted while eating, recalling bits and pieces of the past. The laughter and tears, the frustrations and successes that we have experienced together all become particularly clear at this moment. Each candied haws seemed to carry a beautiful memory, which made them deeply moved.
At this moment, a rush of footsteps broke the warm atmosphere. I saw a young man running over in a hurry and saying breathlessly: "Please... are you Lin Xuan and Lu Chenxi?"
Lin Xuan and Lu Chenxi looked at each other, feeling uneasy in their hearts. They didn't know this man, but his expression was extremely anxious.
"We are." Lin Xuan asked in a deep voice, "Excuse me, what can I do?"
"Great!" The man breathed a sigh of relief, "I finally found you. I...I'm from the town. Something happened in the town! Come back with me and have a look!"
Upon hearing the news, Lin Xuan and Lu Chenxi's expressions suddenly became solemn. They know that peaceful days are always short-lived and new challenges and crises always come inadvertently.
"Don't be anxious, speak slowly." Lu Chenxi reassured, "What happened?"
The man took a deep breath and began to talk about what happened in the town. It turns out that since Xuan Jin's forces were eliminated, the town has been peaceful. But recently, for unknown reasons, a mysterious force suddenly descended, shrouding the entire town in darkness. People cannot see clearly what is around them and cannot communicate with the outside world. What’s even weirder is that those shrouded in darkness will gradually lose consciousness and become like walking zombies.
"We have tried various methods but cannot dispel this dark force." The man said eagerly, "People in the town say that only you can save us from the fire and water. Please help us!"
After listening to the man's narration, Lin Xuan and Lu Chenxi looked at each other and saw the firmness and determination in each other's eyes. They know this is their mission and responsibility and they cannot sit back and do nothing.
"Don't worry, we will investigate." Lin Xuan patted the man's shoulder and comforted him, "You go back first and tell the people in town that we will arrive as soon as possible."
"Great! Thank you!" the man said excitedly and then turned around and left in a hurry.
Lin Xuan and Lu Chenxi looked at each other and smiled as they watched the man leave. They know the road ahead will be full of hardships and challenges but they are ready. They will use their strength and wisdom to once again protect the peace and tranquility of this world.
After the two finished eating the candied haws in their hands, they turned their eyes to the distance. There is their next destination and the beginning of their new challenge. They walked side by side and bravely took steps towards the unknown future...
Lin Xuan and Lu Chenxi decided to return to the town immediately to investigate the source of this mysterious dark power. They know that time is running out and every moment of delay will put more people in danger.
The two of them hurriedly said goodbye to the old man at the stall and started on their way back. Along the way, they witnessed the disaster brought by dark forces to the town. The once bustling streets are now deserted, and the houses are shrouded in darkness, like haunted houses. People's horrified shouts and desperate cries could be heard in the distance, which made people feel heartbroken.
"We must find the source of the dark power as soon as possible, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous." Lin Xuan said in a deep voice, with a firm light shining in his eyes.
"That's right." Lu Chenxi nodded in agreement, "However, we have to be careful. This dark force is obviously not simple, and we cannot underestimate the enemy."
The two of them walked quickly and soon arrived at the center of the town. They discovered that the source of the dark power seemed to come from an ancient ancestral temple in the center of the town. This ancestral hall is full of incense on weekdays and is a place where residents of the town come to pray for peace. However, at this moment, it has become a source of dark power, constantly exuding an evil aura.
"It seems that the problem lies in this ancestral hall." Lin Xuan said after observing for a moment, "We have to go in and find out."
"Be careful." Lu Chenxi reminded, "This dark force is very strange. I'm afraid there are some traps inside."
The two of them carefully pushed open the door of the ancestral hall, and a cold breath hit their faces. They found that the ancestral hall was completely dark and they could not see their fingers. However, their eyes gradually adapted to the darkness and were able to barely see the things around them.
They discovered that there was a black statue enshrined in the ancestral hall. This statue has a ferocious face and exudes an evil aura. The dark power emanated from this statue, shrouding the entire temple in darkness.
"It seems that this is the source of dark power." Lin Xuan pointed at the statue and said, "We have to find a way to destroy it."
"It's not that easy." Lu Chenxi shook his head and said, "This statue is obviously guarded by some powerful force. We have to find its weakness first."
The two began to carefully search for clues in the ancestral hall. After some searching, they finally discovered an important piece of information: the statue would become extremely weak every full moon night. And tonight happens to be a full moon night!
"The opportunity has come!" Lin Xuan said excitedly, "Let's take action tonight and destroy this statue in one fell swoop!"
Night falls, and the full moon night comes quietly. Lin Xuan and Lu Chenxi came outside the ancestral hall and quietly waited for the opportunity to come. As time goes by, the moon gradually rises to the center of the sky, shining bright moonlight. At this moment, there was a strange sound in the ancestral hall, as if something was waking up.
"Do it!" Lin Xuan gave the order, and the two of them rushed into the ancestral hall at the same time. They discovered that the dark power around the statue gradually dissipated under the moonlight, revealing its true form. This statue has indeed become extremely weak, but its eyes still reveal an evil light, as if it is unwilling to suffer defeat.
"Suffer death!" Lin Xuan swung his sword towards the statue, but was blocked by an invisible force. He fell to the ground and his sword flew out of his hand.
"Lin Xuan!" Lu Chenxi exclaimed and immediately rushed to Lin Xuan to help him up, "Are you okay?"
"I'm fine." Lin Xuan struggled to stand up, "This statue is indeed not simple. We can't fight hard."
The two retreated to a safe distance and began to think about countermeasures. They knew that in order to destroy the statue, they had to find its weakness. But where is the weakness? They carefully observed the statue again, trying to find a breakthrough.
After some careful observation and analysis, they finally discovered the weakness of the statue: there was a distinctive black stone in its heart. This stone seems to be the core of the idol and the source of its power. As long as this stone is destroyed, this statue can be completely defeated!
"Okay! Let's attack its heart!" Lin Xuan said decisively, "Lu Chenxi, you are responsible for attracting its attention and I will take the opportunity to attack its heart."
"Understood!" Lu Chenxi nodded and then rushed towards the statue to attack. Her figure danced in the darkness, and the sword in her hand drew dazzling sparks to attract the attention of the statue.
While the statue was attracted by Lu Chenxi, Lin Xuan quietly walked around behind it, aimed at its heart, and stabbed it with a sword! His sword seemed to carry the unstoppable force of thunder!
"Bang!" A loud noise was heard. The black stone was stabbed by Lin Xuan's sword in the heart of the statue and shattered. As the black stone shattered, the statue's body began to tremble, collapse, and finally turn into a pile of ruins.
"Successful!" Lin Xuan and Lu Chenxi smiled at each other, the joy of victory welling up in their hearts. They know they have succeeded in destroying the source of the dark power and saving the entire town!
As the idol collapsed, the dark power quickly dissipated and the entire town regained its light and vitality. People came out of their homes and were so excited that they burst into tears when they saw this scene. They know that Lin Xuan and Lu Chenxi saved them and they are the real heroes!
