Siheyuan: The Temptation of the Mountains

After this thrilling fight, Lin Ze finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Lin Ze stared at the graceful and pretty woman in front of him with his eyes wide open in disbelief. Just now, she was like a god sent from heaven, saving him from the vicious enemy and allowing him to escape. At this moment, Lin Ze's heart was filled with endless gratitude, as if he had thousands of words to say, but he didn't know how to start.

The woman standing opposite also stared at Lin Ze. This man did not flinch in the face of danger, showing extraordinary courage and boldness, which made her admire him. After this thrilling life-and-death test, the distance between the two people, which was originally unfamiliar, was instantly shortened.

"Thank you very much for saving me! If you hadn't helped me in time, I would have become a cold corpse and died at this moment." Lin Ze finally broke the silence, his voice trembling slightly with excitement, full of sincerity and honesty.

The woman smiled softly upon hearing this, as charming as a flower blooming in spring. She opened her red lips and said softly, "Sir, you are too polite. It is the unshirkable responsibility of chivalrous people like me to help those injustice. Moreover, if you hadn't stepped forward at the critical moment and held back those evil people with your own strength, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to hold on until now."

After that, the two smiled at each other, their eyes met, as if there was an invisible tacit understanding flowing in the air. At this moment, they seemed to understand the meaning of each other's eyes - it was an appreciation of each other's heroic behavior, and also an expression of mutual appreciation.

At this moment, a breeze blew by, like a gentle hand gently touching the woman's silky hair. A few strands of hair playfully slid down from her smooth forehead and danced lightly in the air.

Seeing this, Lin Ze's heart was moved. Almost subconsciously, he stretched out his right hand, wanting to smooth out the messy hair of the beautiful woman in front of him. However, when his fingers were about to touch the soft hair, a thought suddenly flashed through his mind - such an action seemed too intimate and abrupt. So, as if he was burned, he suddenly retracted his hand with an embarrassed look on his face.

However, despite Lin Ze's extremely quick and subtle movements, he still couldn't escape the woman's eyes that were as clear and sharp as autumn water. She was slightly startled at first, and then a faint blush quietly appeared on her fair cheeks, like a peach blossom blooming in spring, delicate and beautiful.

After a short silence, the two people's eyes seemed to be attracted by some invisible force, and they all fell on Lin Ze's clenched right hand. The bead that originally lay quietly in his palm, emitting a faint light, was now attracting all their attention.

This bead looks ordinary, but it faintly reveals a mysterious atmosphere. Although the light it emits is not dazzling, it gives people a deep and peaceful feeling, as if it contains endless mysteries and huge energy.

Looking at the bead, countless questions suddenly came to their minds: What kind of powerful power does this mysterious bead hide? Why did it attract such vicious people to fight for it so frantically? Are there more unknown secrets and conspiracies behind it? These questions circled in their minds one after another, making them feel that the story surrounding this bead has just begun...

Lin Ze was the first to break the silence. "This bead was originally a family heirloom. I only knew that it might have something extraordinary, but I didn't expect it to cause such a disaster today." The woman nodded slightly. "It seems that you don't know much, young master. But since this item has been coveted by thieves, I'm sure there will be endless trouble in the future."

Lin Ze held the bead tightly, his eyes showing determination, "No matter what, I will never let it fall into the wrong hands." The woman said admiringly, "Sir, you are so righteous. I am willing to lend a helping hand."

After careful consideration and detailed discussion, the two finally reached a consensus: the most urgent task is to find an absolutely safe and reliable place to explore the mystery hidden in this mysterious bead. So, they worked tirelessly to search everywhere, and finally found a hidden cave in a remote and extremely secluded valley.

After entering the cave, Lin Ze carefully took out the bead that was emitting strange light from his arms, and then placed it on the palm of his hand, concentrating on examining it carefully. At this moment, something unexpected happened! The bead suddenly flashed an extremely dazzling and strong light, and then a series of strange and obscure runes were reflected on the stone wall of the entire cave. These runes seemed to have some kind of magical power, attracting the two people to come closer to find out.

However, as they got closer and closer to the runes, a powerful force suddenly erupted, and the runes that were originally motionless seemed to come alive, slowly drilling towards their heads at a speed visible to the naked eye. In an instant, the two felt dizzy and dizzy, as if the whole world was upside down. After a long time, the discomfort gradually subsided. At this time, they were surprised to find that some blurred map images and incomprehensible obscure prompts in their minds inexplicably appeared.

After much thought and analysis, they gradually realized that this seemingly ordinary bead might be closely related to a huge treasure from ancient times. But at the same time, they couldn't help but feel a little worried because this treasure seemed to be involved in an extremely evil and terrifying dark force.

Thinking of this, Lin Ze subconsciously turned his head to look at the woman next to him, and the woman happened to be staring at him.

When their eyes met, they understood each other without any words.

Even though the road ahead has been ruthlessly covered with a thick layer of thorns by fate, and every step is destined to be accompanied by pain and hardship; even though the road ahead is filled with thick fog, like a bottomless black hole that may swallow people at any time; even though there are endless crises lurking around, like ferocious beasts, waiting for their prey to take the bait.
