The next day, the morning glow dyed the sky red, and the whole world was covered with a layer of golden brilliance. Lin Tiantian and others passed through winding mountain paths, crossed steep gorges, and visited ancient villages, carefully searching for clues about the soul mirror.
Lin Tiantian's personality is as bright and lively as the sunshine. She is full of curiosity about everything around her and is occasionally attracted by interesting things, completely forgetting the main purpose. "Wow, look at the architectural style of this village, it's so ancient! Let's go in and take a look," she often carries a childlike innocence, sometimes forgetting the purpose of the journey, but this also adds a lot of fun to the journey.
Lin Ting as the leader of the team always shows firmness and caution. Every step of his is carefully planned, and he is very frugal in the use of funds. "We need to save resources for unexpected needs," he said. His calmness has become an important support for this exploration.
Shue Ling, the mysterious and proud Prince of the Demon Tribe, gradually reveals his unknown side during this journey. He always maintains his composure and seriousness, but in the face of Lin Tiantian's cheerfulness and frankness, he seems to gradually let go of his proud facade. When Lin Tiantian jokes or unintentionally says something, he always shows a slight, gentle smile, although not talkative, it reveals a subtle warmth that is not easily noticed.
At an ancient market, Lin Tiantian's eyes were drawn to a colorful jewelry stall. She couldn't resist browsing and occasionally exclaimed in delight. "Look at this, it's so beautiful!" she said excitedly to Lin Ting and Shue Ling.
Lin Ting smiled and shook her head, but still paid for the necklace with a copper coin. Shue Ling, on the other hand, quietly watched, with a faint glimmer in his eyes, as if accustomed to Lin Tiantian's innocence.
After leaving the market, they arrived at an ancient and quaint academy. The academy was rich in books, and Lin Ting searched for records related to the soul mirror. They stayed in the academy for a long time and finally discovered an ancient book that documented ancient rituals and mysterious artifacts.
While studying this ancient book, Lin Tiantian suddenly felt dizzy and disoriented. The soul mirror once again emitted light, but this time the light seemed to contain some kind of hint. Lin Tiantian gently placed his hand on the mirror, attempting to sense that mysterious power.
"Look here!" Lin Ting suddenly exclaimed. He had found a picture similar to the soul mirror in an ancient book, accompanied by a cryptic annotation. His eyes sparkled with insight as he said excitedly, "This seems to refer to an ancient ritual closely related to the soul mirror. It may be the key to unlocking the true power of the soul mirror."
Lin Tiantian leaned over, curiously studying the patterns and words in the ancient book. "These runes look so strange, brother. What do they mean?" Her voice was filled with confusion.
In the academy, the lights were bright, and the atmosphere was solemn and focused. Shue Ling approached the desk, his fingers gently sliding over the pages of the ancient books, his eyes showing concentration and deep thought. He carefully analyzed every line of text in the book, a slight smile playing on his lips. "According to the records here, the ritual needs to be performed under specific celestial alignments, and the location is also crucial," his voice was steady, each word carrying weight.
Lin Tiantian sat nearby, although she wasn't very interested in the text of the books, her curiosity led her to ask questions continuously: "Where do we need to go to find this location? Do we need any special tools?" Her questions were direct and full of curiosity, showing her enthusiasm for this adventure.
Lin Tingze patiently answered Lin Tiantian's questions while continuously flipping through the books in his hand, searching for possible clues. "We need to find the correct location based on these records. As for the props, we may need some special charms and offerings." His voice was calm and powerful, showing his serious attitude towards this mission.
As night fell, the three of them decided to stay overnight in the academy. The lights in the academy reflected their serious faces, and each person was immersed in the task of searching for ancient books.
The next day, they followed the instructions from the ancient texts and headed to a mysterious place known as the "Valley of Souls." This place was hidden deep in the mountains, surrounded by thick mist, giving off an aura of mystery.
As they entered the valley, Lin Tiantian's soul mirror once again emitted light, as if responding to the call of the land. In front of an ancient stone formation, Lin Ting carefully arranged talismans and incense, preparing to perform a ritual according to the instructions in the ancient texts.
Shue Ling quietly guarded the entire process from the side, his eyes shining with a vigilant light, ready to respond to any potential danger at any moment.
As the ceremony began, the clouds in the sky churned as if sensing something. Lin Tiantian stood in the center of the stone formation, holding the soul mirror, her eyes shining with a firm and expectant light. Lin Tingze chanted ancient spells on the side, and the atmosphere became increasingly solemn.
Suddenly, the soul mirror emitted a dazzling light, echoing the clouds in the sky and forming a mysterious halo. A powerful and ancient force was released from the mirror, illuminating the entire Valley of Souls.
Lin Tiantian felt a tremendous energy rushing into her body, as if her consciousness was merging with the power within the soul mirror. She felt her vision expanding immensely, able to perceive everything around her.
Lin Ting saw the situation and his eyes showed surprise. He immediately strengthened the chanting of the spell to protect Lin Tiantian from the backlash of the power.
Shue Ling kept a close watch around, ensuring there was no external interference. His eyes revealed an unprecedented seriousness and focus.
Just as this force reached its peak, Lin Tiantian suddenly saw a vision. She saw an ancient and mysterious civilization, where people were conducting some kind of ritual around the soul mirror. She felt that there was an unfathomable connection between this civilization and the soul mirror.
After the ritual ended, the sky returned to calm, and the light of the soul mirror gradually dissipated. Lin Tiantian slowly opened her eyes, and a tired but satisfied smile appeared on her face.
Lin Ting walked up and asked with concern, " Tiantian, are you okay? What did you see just now?"
Lin Tiantian shook her head and tried to gather her thoughts, "I saw some indescribable images about the origin of the soul mirror and its true purpose. We need more time to understand this information."
Shue Ling pondered, his voice deep and powerful: "This ritual has brought us closer to the truth. Let's continue our pursuit." After the ceremony in the Valley of Souls, the three of them continued to venture into the deeper unknown.
Lin Tiantian's passion and curiosity are like an endless source, adding vibrant colors to this adventure. She is interested in every novel scene, often stopping to show surprise and curiosity towards rare flowers, plants, or unique landscapes.
Her eyes always sparkle with the light of exploration. "Wow, look at this rock, it has such a strange shape!" she excitedly points at a uniquely shaped rock, her face filled with the joy of exploration.
Lin Ting is always calm and methodical as the leader of the team. His steps are firm, and his eyes reveal deep thought and caution, carefully weighing every decision during the journey. He occasionally reminds Lin Tiantian: " Tiantian, let's focus on moving forward, time is precious."
He is also very strict in managing money, always budgeting carefully to ensure the most effective use of resources.
And Shue Ling, the proud Prince of the Demon Tribe, gradually revealed another side in the face of Lin Tiantian's innocence and enthusiasm. Beneath his cold and aloof exterior, he would occasionally show a hint of a smile, especially when Lin Tiantian made some naive and sincere gestures. Though he didn't speak often, whenever he did, he always offered valuable insights and suggestions. "We should move in that direction, the terrain there is more suitable for us to conceal our tracks," he would say. His voice was calm, his words concise, yet full of authority.
Lin Tiantian always enjoyed the adventure, her laughter and amazement echoing constantly in the valleys. "Look, there are strange patterns carved on the rocks over there, could they be related to what we are looking for?" Her words were filled with wonder.
The other person and the demon had long been accustomed to her occasional questions, and would patiently respond.
As night fell, the three of them set up camp in a quiet valley. Lin Tiantian was responsible for making the fire, Lin Ting prepared dinner, and Shue Ling set up a perimeter guard. On this peaceful night, the three sat around the campfire, sharing their own stories. Their laughter and conversation blended into the night, becoming an unforgettable scene in this journey.
