Siheyuan: The Temptation of the Mountains

Lin Ze held Xiao Hei and hurried to find a pharmacist for treatment.

The pharmacist looked at Xiao Hei's injuries and shook his head helplessly.

Lin Ze was extremely anxious and refused to give up.

He remembered that there was a magical herb mentioned in ancient books that might be able to save Xiao Hei.

At the end of the vast continent, there is a mountain that towers into the clouds, steep and dangerous. This mountain is like a sharp sword piercing the sky, surrounded by clouds and mist, mysterious and unpredictable. On the top of this dangerous peak, there grows a rare magical herb in the world. Legend has it that this magical herb contains endless spiritual power, which can heal all injuries and diseases in the world, and even give people extraordinary powers. However, such a precious treasure will naturally not fall into the hands of others easily, and there are ferocious beasts guarding it all year round.

Lin Ze, a young, brave and righteous adventurer, heard the legend about this magical herb. At this time, his good friend Xiao Hei was seriously injured in a fierce battle and was in critical condition. In order to save Xiao Hei's life, Lin Ze decided to embark on the journey to find the magical herb without hesitation. Although he was exhausted from the long journey, sleeping in the open air, and his belief in saving his friend was as hot as a burning campfire.

After numerous hardships and dangers, Lin Ze finally arrived at the foot of the dangerous peak. Looking at the almost vertical cliffs and the bottomless valley in front of him, he had no intention of retreating. He used his hands and feet to climb up, his clothes were torn by rocks, and his skin was scratched by thorns, but he ignored the pain and only wanted to reach the top of the mountain as soon as possible to get the spiritual herbs.

After an unknown amount of time, when the sun was about to set, Lin Ze finally reached the top. However, before he could catch his breath, a wave of heat hit him. Looking closely, he saw a huge flame beast staring at him with wide eyes. The flame beast was burning with raging flames all over its body, and it spewed hot flames from its mouth from time to time, which was daunting.

Facing such a powerful enemy, Lin Ze was not afraid. He held the sword tightly in his hand and stared at the flame beast with a firm gaze. In an instant, a thrilling life-and-death contest began between the man and the beast. The flame beast pounced on Lin Ze with its fangs and claws bared, and each attack was earth-shattering. But Lin Ze, relying on his agility and the combat experience accumulated from years of adventure, cleverly avoided the flame beast's attacks again and again.

In the fierce battle, Lin Ze gradually discovered the weakness of Flamemon. Taking advantage of its unpreparedness, he leaped up and used all his strength to stab Flamemon's vital parts with his sword. With a scream, Flamemon fell to the ground and turned into a pile of ashes.

After defeating the flame beast, Lin Ze didn't care about resting and rushed to where the spiritual herbs were. He carefully picked the spiritual herbs and put them in his arms, then turned around and ran down the way he came. After returning to his residence, he didn't dare to delay for a moment and immediately handed the spiritual herbs to the pharmacist.

The pharmacist took the magical herbs and quickly used his medical skills to treat Xiao Hei. As the magical herbs exerted their power, a miracle happened! Xiao Hei, who was originally dying, slowly opened his eyes and his body began to gradually recover. Seeing his friend out of danger, Lin Ze was so excited that tears filled his eyes. Xiao Hei seemed to feel Lin Ze's joy, and he gently rubbed Lin Ze's hand, as if to express his gratitude.

After this incident, Lin Ze's heroic deeds spread throughout the continent. People praised him as a hero of the continent, but he himself did not become proud and complacent because of this.

On the contrary, this experience made him deeply aware that the world is full of various unknown dangers and challenges.

In order to better protect this continent and his companions, Lin Ze is determined to practice harder and continuously improve his strength.

Because he knew that only with sufficient strength could he deal with various crises that might arise in the future.

From then on, Lin Ze got up early and went to bed late every day, practicing hard.

He searched everywhere for ancient ruins, hoping to obtain more powerful martial arts secrets.

One day, Lin Ze accidentally found an ancient dusty book in a hidden cave.

The book records a long-lost set of sword techniques with incredible power.

Lin Ze was overjoyed and immediately began to practice according to the instructions in the book.

A few months later, Lin Ze's swordsmanship had begun to show results. At this time, news suddenly came from the mainland that a dark force was rising, and wherever it went, it was devastating. Many villages were destroyed and the people were suffering. After hearing this, Lin Ze resolutely picked up the sword and ran towards the direction where the dark force was raging.

On the way, he met some brave warriors who also came to resist the dark forces, and they traveled together. When they arrived at the destination, darkness enveloped the earth, and the evil breath filled the air. Lin Ze clenched the sword in his hand and rushed into the darkness first, followed by everyone. They fought a desperate battle with the monsters in the darkness. Lin Ze used his newly learned sword skills, and many enemies fell down in the flashing sword shadows. In the end, after a hard battle, the dark forces were repelled, and the continent ushered in peace again. Lin Ze also became a legendary warrior in people's hearts forever.

Although the dark forces were repelled, Lin Ze knew that their root cause had not been completely eliminated, so he decided to travel the continent alone to find the source of the dark forces.

During the journey, Lin Ze met a mysterious old man. The old man knew many secrets and told Lin Ze that there was an ancient evil behind the dark force. This evil was hidden in a forbidden place and three artifacts had to be collected to enter and seal it.

Lin Ze began his journey to find the artifact. After many hardships, he found the first artifact. But at the same time, the remnants of the dark forces noticed his intentions and set up many traps to block him. Lin Ze broke through the siege with his superb swordsmanship and fearless courage.

He continued to move forward, his faith becoming stronger. Although his friend Xiao Hei wanted to help him, Lin Ze refused because he was afraid that he would be in danger again.

Lin Ze knew that this road was full of thorns, but for the permanent peace of the continent, he was willing to take the risk alone.

He believed that as long as he persisted, he would be able to gather all the magical weapons, completely eliminate the dark forces, and bring eternal peace to the continent.

Lin Ze continued his journey to find the artifact. In an ancient forest, he was attacked by a group of shadow assassins.

These assassins are ghostly, extremely fast, and good at hiding in the shadows and launching surprise attacks.

Lin Ze responded calmly, using the agility of his newly learned sword skills to defend himself while looking for opportunities to counterattack.

After a long and fierce battle, Lin Ze finally found a flaw and defeated the assassin in one fell swoop.

Following the clues left by the assassin, he came to an abandoned castle.

Here, he sensed the breath of the second artifact. However, the castle was full of traps, and a single mistake could trigger a deadly trap.

Lin Ze explored carefully, solving puzzles one by one, and finally found a glowing artifact deep in the castle.

Just as he reached out to take it, a secret door suddenly opened and a man in a black robe walked out.
