Siheyuan: The Temptation of the Mountains

Lin Ze looked at the expert in front of him with gratitude, secretly glad that he had finally found a trustworthy partner.

The two nodded tacitly and decided to embark on this challenging puzzle-solving journey together.

In the following days, they immersed themselves in the study of symbols.

They kept trying various possible methods, trying to find clues from different fields such as history, culture, and mathematics.

Every failure made them more determined to decrypt the code.

They have tirelessly consulted countless materials and conducted in-depth exchanges with professionals in other related fields.

Not only that, they also boldly try to use some little-known special tools and techniques in the hope of making breakthroughs.

However, the road ahead is not smooth.

They encountered many difficulties and experienced countless setbacks.

But Lin Ze and the experts never gave up. They firmly believed that as long as they persevered, they would be able to uncover the truth behind these mysterious symbols one day.

Every morning, when the first ray of sunlight shines into the room, they begin a new day of exploration.

After night fell, they were still studying hard under the light, not missing any possible clues.

Time flies, but their efforts never stop.

During this process, Lin Ze's friendship with the experts became increasingly profound.

They encourage each other and share every joy and disappointment.

This tacit understanding and trust became the source of motivation for them to persevere.

One night, while analyzing a complex piece of symbology, Linze stumbled upon a detail that had previously been overlooked. He was so excited that he immediately shared his discovery with an expert.

After careful study, the expert's eyes flashed with surprise, "This may be the key to solving the mystery!"

They dug deeper along this clue and gradually uncovered the layers of mystery behind the mysterious symbols.

As the mystery was solved, a shocking secret was revealed before them - these symbols actually pointed to an ancient relic.

Lin Ze and the experts decided to go to the ruins in person to explore the mysteries.

After the two entered the ruins, they were immediately shocked by the scene before them.

The ancient buildings, mysterious symbols and hidden passages all seemed extremely novel to them.

In the ruins, they found more records about mysterious symbols.

These symbols are densely carved on the wall, as if telling a distant history.

After careful study, Lin Ze discovered that these symbols seemed to be related to a legendary treasure.

This treasure is said to contain endless wealth and power, but it has always remained a mystery.

Just as they were excited about this major discovery, a mysterious power suddenly appeared in the ruins.

This force was like a huge net, trapping them in a secret room.

The secret room is surrounded by solid stone walls and has no exit.

Faced with the sudden crisis, Lin Ze and the experts did not panic.

They calmly observed their surroundings, trying to find a way to escape.

Lin Ze noticed that there was a special stone in the corner of the secret room, with some strange patterns engraved on it.

He guessed that the stone might be the key to solving the dilemma.

So, Lin Ze and experts began to study these patterns and try to activate them in various ways.

After some effort, they finally found the right method and activated the mechanism.

As a dull sound rang out, the stone door of the secret room slowly opened, revealing a passage leading to the outside world.

After walking out of the secret room, Lin Ze and the experts continued to move forward along the passage of the ruins.

Along the way, they encountered many challenges, but with their courage and wisdom, they overcame danger time and time again.

Finally, they came to a huge treasure house.

The door of the treasure house is closed, but Lin Ze and the experts have mastered how to open it.

They followed the clues to find the keyhole, inserted the key, and turned it gently, and the door to the treasure house slowly opened.

There was a gleam of golden light inside the door, and countless precious treasures appeared before them.

Lin Ze and the experts walked excitedly in the treasure house, their eyes flashing with greed. They carefully examined each treasure, their hearts filled with excitement and joy. These treasures are not only priceless, but also treasures of human history and culture. They witness the glory and wisdom of ancient civilization.

However, when they approached the center of the treasure house, they were shocked by the scene before them. There stood a mysterious door, which was engraved with mysterious symbols and patterns, as if hiding endless secrets. A faint light emanated from inside the door, giving people a mysterious and solemn feeling.

Lin Ze and the experts gathered around and carefully observed the symbols on the door. They found that these symbols were not ordinary words or patterns, but an ancient code that required specific conditions to decipher. Facing this mysterious door, they fell into deep thought.

"What is hidden behind this door?" an expert asked curiously.

"Maybe more treasures, or some powerful force," another expert speculated.

Lin Ze frowned, thought for a moment and said: "No matter what, we must find a way to open this door. Otherwise, we will not be able to truly uncover the secrets of this treasure house."

Everyone nodded in agreement. So they began to look for clues, hoping to find the key to open the portal. They found some ancient texts around the treasure house, but the texts were blurred and difficult to recognize. After some effort, they finally found a description of the portal.

According to this text, the door needs to be activated in a specific way, and this way is related to certain items in the treasure house. Lin Ze and the experts began to check the items in the treasure house one by one, trying to find clues related to it. Finally, they found a strange stone in a corner of the treasure house, which was engraved with symbols similar to the portal.

Lin Ze picked up the stone and studied its shape and texture carefully. He suddenly found that the stone could be embedded in a groove above the portal. He carefully inserted the stone into the groove and gently turned it. As the stone turned, the symbols on the portal began to flash and emit a dazzling light.

"Success!" Lin Ze shouted excitedly.

Everyone cheered and looked forward to the scene behind the portal. However, when the portal slowly opened, they were surprised to find that there was no treasure or power as imagined, but a dark space. This space seemed to lead to the depths of the treasure house, full of unknown dangers and challenges.

Facing this dark space, Lin Ze and the experts hesitated for a moment. But soon, they decided to move on. After all, they came here to explore the secrets of the treasure. If they retreated because of fear, wouldn't all their previous efforts be in vain?

Holding torches, they walked cautiously into the dark space. The passage was narrow and winding, and there was an old atmosphere around it. The walls were engraved with all kinds of strange patterns and words, which made people feel awe. As they walked, they came to a fork in the road. The two roads led to different directions, one of which seemed wider, while the other seemed narrow and gloomy.
