Siheyuan: The Temptation of the Mountains

At this critical moment, Lin Ze keenly captured this fleeting precious opportunity. Without any hesitation, he turned around quickly like an arrow, then gathered all his strength on his legs and rushed towards a distant direction at lightning speed.

I saw his figure moving like a ghost among the dense woods, with wind under his feet raising up clouds of dust.

While running desperately, he turned back from time to time, nervously paying attention to the every move of the mysterious figure behind him.

Every time he looked back, his heart would involuntarily rise to his throat, for fear that he would see the mysterious man chasing him in the next second.

Finally, when he found that the mysterious man was not chasing him closely, his tense nerves relaxed a little and he felt a little relieved.

However, he knew very well that he was still not out of danger. This land was full of unknown dangers and he could be doomed if he was not careful.

Therefore, he did not dare to stop for a moment, still with his head down, running forward desperately, with only one thought in his mind - to find a safe place to hide as soon as possible so that he could calm down and carefully heal the shocking scars on his body.

In sharp contrast, the mysterious man stood firmly in place, motionless like a sculpture.

His eyes as deep as the sea stared quietly at Lin Ze's back as he walked farther and farther away and finally disappeared at the end of his sight. His originally expressionless face now revealed an indescribable complex look.

There was a look of surprise at Lin Ze's bold and resolute behavior, as if he had not expected that he could successfully escape in such a desperate situation; at the same time, there seemed to be a hint of admiration, perhaps because he was moved by Lin Ze's tenacious desire to survive.

Lin Ze ran for a long time and came to a stream. He didn't even have time to catch his breath and jumped into the stream to clean the wounds on his body. The cool stream water relieved the pain and he temporarily forgot the danger just now.

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew by, and Lin Ze raised his head alertly and found that the mysterious man was standing by the stream. The mysterious man said, "You can't escape, come back with me."

Lin Ze widened his eyes, clenched his fists, and prepared to escape again.

The mysterious man smiled slightly, and a glowing bead appeared in his hand. He threw the bead to Lin Ze and said, "This is an elixir that can heal your injuries. Think about it carefully." After that, the mysterious man turned and left.

Lin Ze looked at the beads in his hand, hesitated for a moment, and finally decided to follow the mysterious man.

He didn't know the other party's purpose, but he understood that he needed this power to survive.

So, he embarked on an unknown journey and disappeared into the distance with the mysterious man.

Lin Ze followed the mysterious man into a dense forest.

The forest was filled with thick fog, making it difficult to see the road ahead.

The mysterious man led the way in front, and Lin Ze followed closely behind.

As he walked, Lin Ze found that the surrounding scenery was becoming more and more familiar. He remembered that this was the place where he often played when he was a child.

Suddenly, the mysterious man stopped, pointed to a big tree in front and said, "We're here."

Lin Ze looked up and saw some strange symbols carved on the trunk of the tree. He was about to go forward to check it out, but the mysterious man stopped him.

"This is the holy land of our clan. Only those with special abilities can enter." The mysterious man said, stretching out his finger and lightly swiping in the air. A ray of light flashed, and a door appeared in front of the big tree.

"Go in, the answers you want are inside." The mysterious man pushed Lin Ze and Lin Ze walked into the door.

The door slowly closed, and the voice of a mysterious man sounded outside the door: "Remember, you only have one chance." Lin Ze took a deep breath and walked into the unknown world.

After Lin Ze walked through the door, he found himself in a mysterious space. The space was filled with strange light, and ancient runes flashed on the walls. He was full of curiosity and explored forward cautiously.

Suddenly, a huge mirror appeared in front of him.

A strange figure was reflected in the mirror, and Lin Ze was surprised to find that it was himself! But the difference was that the person in the mirror exuded a strong aura.

Just as Lin Ze was concentrating on gazing at the silver-smooth mirror in front of him, a mysterious voice that seemed to come from the netherworld suddenly sounded in his ears: "This is the huge potential hidden in your body, but only by defeating yourself can you completely control it and use it for yourself."

This sentence was like a thunderclap in Lin Ze's heart, causing a storm in his confused heart. At the same time, an unprecedented courage surged from his heart like a surging tide, quickly filling his entire chest. So, he took a deep breath, clenched his fists secretly, and took a step towards the mirror with a firm and resolute look.

The closer he got to the mirror, the stronger the invisible pressure became, but Lin Ze did not retreat. Finally, he came to the mirror and looked into the eyes of himself in the mirror. In an instant, it was as if two meteors collided with each other, and a dazzling energy wave burst out.

Lin Ze clenched his teeth tightly, veins popped out on his forehead, and beads of sweat rolled down his cheeks. However, he ignored all this and gathered all his strength into his hands, attacking himself in the mirror with all his strength. For a moment, the fists whistled, the palms flew, and the two sides fought back and forth, neither giving in, and the battle was extremely fierce.

Time passed quietly in this thrilling battle. I don't know how long it took, maybe a quarter of an hour, or maybe longer. In short, after experiencing countless life-and-death battles, Lin Ze finally defeated himself in the mirror with his indomitable will and extraordinary perseverance.

At this moment, the originally dazzling light gradually dimmed until it completely disappeared. At the same time, Lin Ze felt that an unparalleled powerful force rushed into his body like a flood, instantly flowing through his limbs and bones, making his whole body exude a heart-pounding aura.

Then, the surrounding space began to twist violently, and black cracks spread rapidly like a spider web. Lin Ze knew that this meant he was about to leave this strange place full of mystery.

When he slowly opened his eyes again, he found himself in the familiar real world. The mysterious man was still standing quietly beside him, with a faint smile on his face, looking at him with interest.

Lin Ze nodded in understanding, because he knew very well that although he had successfully acquired new power, the road ahead was still long and difficult.
