Siheyuan: The Temptation of the Mountains

Lin Ze quietly gazed at the group of simple and kind people in front of him. Their plain and innocent faces were like the warm sunshine in spring, shining straight into his heart, causing ripples in his heart involuntarily, and then a warm current flowed slowly like a gurgling stream.

These ordinary people, their every smile is so real and tangible, as if they are within reach. It is this purest truth that makes Lin Ze deeply realize the huge energy contained in the act of justice and the endless warmth it can convey. This warmth can not only melt the ice in people's hearts, but also ignite people's yearning and pursuit for a better life.

Under the enthusiastic and expectant eyes of many people around him, Lin Ze secretly clenched his fists and silently made a vow in his heart: from now on, he must pay more than before, sweat and effort, never slack off, never retreat, persevere in practicing chivalry, and unhesitatingly extend a helping hand to those who are in deep trouble and in urgent need of help. Only in this way can he live up to everyone's trust and expectations of him; only in this way can he spread the fire of justice farther and wider.

Thinking of this, a faint smile appeared on Lin Ze's face. He clasped his hands together and bowed deeply to the residents of the town to express his heartfelt gratitude. Then, he turned and left without hesitation, and his tall back looked even more resolute under the afterglow of the setting sun. He took steady and powerful steps, one step at a time, and strode forward unswervingly towards the distant front. Because he knew that in that unknown journey, there might be countless injustices hidden, waiting for him to stand up and uphold justice.

Lin Ze walked along the path and soon entered a dense forest. The sky gradually darkened and eerie noises were heard all around. Suddenly, a huge monster rushed out from the woods and opened its bloody mouth to pounce on Lin Ze. However, Lin Ze remained calm, dodged to the side, and drew the sword from his waist. The monster pounced again, and Lin Ze's body was as fast as lightning, and the sword blade cut through the monster's fur. The monster felt pain and attacked more frantically.

Lin Ze moved through the forest like a ghost, nimbly dodging the fierce attacks of the ferocious monster again and again. His eyes were fixed on the huge monster in front of him, and his brain was working rapidly, not missing any possible flaws.

After a fierce battle, Lin Ze finally realized something - every time the monster finished a round of attack, its left claw would tremble slightly when it landed on the ground. This subtle movement made Lin Ze's heart move, and a bold plan gradually took shape.

Lin Ze suddenly changed his tactics. He stopped dodging and evading, and started to attack proactively, pretending to be defenseless and vulnerable to lure the monster to launch a more violent attack. As expected, the monster saw an opportunity and immediately opened its bloody mouth, waving its sharp claws and pounced again. At this moment, Lin Ze, who had been concentrating on waiting for an opportunity, took action instantly. The long sword in his hand turned into a cold light and stabbed directly at the joint of the monster's left claw!

"Ouch..." With a shrill scream, the monster's left claw was accurately hit by Lin Ze, and blood splattered. After this severe blow, the monster's attack power was greatly weakened, and its originally ferocious momentum also weakened a lot.

However, Lin Ze did not give it any chance to breathe, and took advantage of the situation to launch a series of violent attacks. In the flash of sword light, man and beast fought back and forth, neither of them giving in. After several rounds, the monster was finally too seriously injured to hold on any longer, and fell to the ground and died.

Lin Ze stood there holding a long sword, breathing heavily, his clothes soaked with sweat. He looked down at the dead body of the monster under his feet, feeling a lot of emotions. Through this life-and-death battle, he deeply realized that the so-called road to chivalry is not smooth sailing, and it is full of countless difficulties, obstacles and unknown challenges. But even so, he still did not flinch, and his eyes revealed an increasingly determined light.

After a short rest, Lin Ze slowly stood up, reached out and gently brushed off the dust and grass on his body, and then rearranged his slightly messy clothes. Then he took a deep breath, raised his head and looked into the deep and dark forest in the distance, and continued to move forward without hesitation. His back gradually went farther and farther, and finally slowly merged into the boundless night. Only the unwavering determination to move forward towards justice seemed to linger in the air for a long time.

Lin Ze continued to walk in the forest. As he walked, he found a light in front of him. When he got closer, he found an ancient temple. The temple door was half-closed, and there was a mysterious atmosphere inside. Lin Ze pushed the door open carefully, and what came into his sight was a dusty statue. At this time, he heard a slight sobbing sound. Following the sound, he saw a little girl curled up in the corner.

The girl stared at Lin Ze who suddenly appeared, her body trembling involuntarily, her eyes full of fear. Lin Ze smiled and said softly: "Don't be afraid, little girl, I'm not a bad person, I'm just passing by here." As he said that, he deliberately slowed down his pace and took a step closer to the girl to show that he had no ill intentions.

After a conversation, Lin Ze learned that the panicked girl was a villager from a nearby village. This morning, she went into the mountains alone to collect herbs, but she got lost in the forest and came here by accident. After learning the whole story, Lin Ze felt pity and immediately decided to personally lead the girl out of this dangerous forest.

The two had just stepped out of the temple when they suddenly heard a burst of hurried footsteps coming from far away. Then, a group of black shadows approached them like ghosts. When they got closer, they found that they were a group of vicious bandits! Each of them held a sharp knife and had a ferocious look on their faces. When they saw the little girl next to Lin Ze, their eyes suddenly glowed with greed, mistakenly thinking that she was carrying some priceless treasure.

Faced with such a situation, Lin Ze snorted coldly, his mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a disdainful smile. He was seen holding the hilt of the sword tightly with his right hand, and an invisible aura instantly emanated from his body. Seeing this, the group of bandits had no intention of retreating, but instead rushed towards Lin Ze like a swarm of bees.

In an instant, the flashes of swords and sabers flashed and shone, Lin Ze's figure was as agile as a swallow, and the long sword in his hand danced tightly and fiercely. Only screams were heard one after another, but in just a few rounds, those originally arrogant bandits had fallen to the ground one after another.
