Siheyuan: The Temptation of the Mountains

On the road ahead, Lin Ze and Xiao Xue experienced countless battles and challenges.

Sometimes, the enemy is strong and fierce, putting them in desperate situations; sometimes, the environment is harsh and difficult, making them physically and mentally exhausted.

But no matter what difficulties they encounter, they always maintain an optimistic and positive attitude, believing that as long as they persist, they will be able to find a solution to the problem.

Over time, they grew into stronger warriors.

They have learned how to better use their skills and wisdom, and how to face difficulties and setbacks. They are becoming stronger and more confident.

Finally, after a long journey, they arrived at a critical node. This is the place that determines the fate of the world and the goal they have been striving for. Standing here, they feel unprecedented pressure and responsibility.

But they did not retreat, but took more determined steps. They interpreted their desire for peace with their actions and protected the world with their own strength. Behind them, they left a series of firm footprints, witnessing their growth and dedication.

Lin Ze and Xiao Xue looked at each other, with a determined light in their eyes. They knew that the next battle would be the most difficult, but they were ready. They took a deep breath and stepped into the mysterious realm ahead. In an instant, a powerful energy rushed over, as if to swallow them up.

This mysterious energy was as fierce as a storm, carrying endless pressure. Lin Ze and Xiao Xue's bodies trembled slightly, but their eyes were full of determination. They nodded to each other, and then rushed into this mysterious area together.

During the fierce battle, Lin Ze discovered the weakness of the mysterious energy. He shouted, "Xiaoxue, attack its right side!" Xiaoxue understood and immediately changed the direction of attack. The sword in her hand stabbed the right side of the mysterious energy as fast as lightning. At the same time, Lin Ze also launched a full-strength attack. His fist with a fierce momentum hit the left side of the mysterious energy.

The two cooperated perfectly, and their attacks were like two sharp swords, piercing the vital points of the mysterious energy. The mysterious energy kept retreating under their attacks, and finally, with a loud bang that shook the earth, the mysterious energy was completely defeated.

Lin Ze and Xiao Xue smiled at each other. They successfully broke through the defense line of the mysterious energy and entered the core area that determined the fate of the world.

There, they will face their final challenge and fight to achieve world peace.

However, just when they thought victory was in sight, an even more powerful mysterious force surged out from the core area.

This force was even more violent than the previous mysterious energy. It was like a ferocious beast, pouncing at them with its fangs and claws bared.

Lin Ze and Xiao Xue couldn't help but gasp, but they did not panic.

Lin Ze's eyes were as sharp as torches, he recited an ancient spell, and a strange light appeared in his hands.

Xiaoxue's figure flashed and turned into a phantom, shuttling through the void.

They worked closely together and used all their skills to fight a desperate battle against the mysterious force.

In the fierce confrontation, Lin Ze and Xiao Xue gradually gained the upper hand, and their tacit cooperation made the mysterious force at a loss.

Finally, under Lin Ze's fatal blow, the mysterious power dissipated, and the core area appeared before them.

Lin Ze and Xiao Xue breathed a sigh of relief. They approached the core area and found a huge stone platform inside. The stone platform was engraved with complex runes and emitted a faint light.

Xiaoxue observed the stone platform carefully and said, "This looks like some kind of seal."

Lin Ze nodded, and he took a step forward, trying to touch the stone platform. Just as his hand was about to touch the stone platform, the stone platform suddenly emitted a dazzling light, enveloping them.

After the light disappeared, Lin Ze and Xiao Xue found themselves in an unfamiliar space. It was dark all around, with only a glimmer of light in front.

They walked towards the light and found a door. There were some strange symbols engraved on the door, which Lin Ze recognized as an ancient magic text. These words flickered with a faint light, as if telling them some secrets.

Xiaoxue frowned and said, "It seems we need to solve the puzzle of this door before we can leave here." She carefully observed the symbols on the door, but had no clue.

Lin Ze also fell into deep thought. He knew that this ancient magic text contained great power. If it was not interpreted correctly, it might lead to unexpected consequences. Suddenly, he remembered an ancient book he had read before, which recorded similar magic texts and their meanings.

So he said to Xiaoxue, "I think I have some idea, let me try." Then he began to chant a spell towards the symbol on the door. As his voice sounded, the symbol on the door began to flash with dazzling light.

Seeing this, Xiaoxue immediately waved the sword in her hand, echoing Lin Ze's spell. For a moment, the entire space was shrouded in powerful magic.

After some effort, they finally found the key to the puzzle on the door. Lin Ze recited the last spell, and Xiao Xue swung the sword with all her strength. The two cooperated with each other and solved the puzzle on the door.

The door slowly opened with a dull sound. Lin Ze and Xiao Xue walked out of the door carefully, and the scene in front of them surprised them.

What appeared before them was actually a magnificent castle. The castle towered into the clouds, surrounded by mist, giving people a mysterious and solemn feeling. The walls of the castle were engraved with exquisite patterns and runes, exuding an ancient atmosphere.

Lin Ze and Xiao Xue looked at each other, their hearts full of curiosity and expectation. They didn't know what secrets this castle hid, but they decided to explore and find a way to leave this space.

Lin Ze and Xiao Xue walked towards the castle gate carefully. Their steps were light and cautious, as if they were afraid of disturbing anything.

When they walked to the castle gate, they found that it was closed tightly and there were some strange patterns carved on it. These patterns seemed to contain some mysterious power.

Lin Ze took a deep breath, walked forward and gently pushed the door, but the door did not move at all, as if it was bound by an invisible force.

He frowned, feeling a little confused.

Seeing this, Xiaoxue immediately drew the long sword from her waist and tried to insert the sword into the crack of the door to pry open the seemingly solid bolt. However, no matter how hard she tried, the door remained motionless, like an indestructible fortress.

Just when they were at a loss, the pattern on the door suddenly began to shine, emitting a mysterious light. The light quickly gathered into a huge vortex like flowing liquid.
