As the residual glow of the setting sun sprinkled onto the cobblestone streets of the town, Lin Ting and the others stepped into a hidden teahouse, hoping to find more clues about the soul mirror here. The teahouse was dimly lit, and the tea set on the table exuded a faint tea fragrance, creating a tranquil atmosphere away from the hustle and bustle.
Lin Tiantian curiously looked around, showing great excitement in this ancient environment: "Brother, look over there! Those ancient paintings hanging on the wall, each one seems to have a story, especially that landscape painting, it's like a hidden world beckoning to us!"
Lin Ting had a serious expression on his face as he furrowed his brows slightly to remind his sister, "We are here for a serious matter Tiantian. Although this place is indeed filled with an ancient and quaint atmosphere, don't forget our purpose."
Shue Ling sat down quietly, his expression still stern, and looked straight at the map in his hand, "We should focus on discussing our next move. According to the markings on the map, the clue to the soul mirror may be hidden somewhere in this town."
Lin Ting nodded and slowly turned his gaze out the window, pondering, "We need to proceed with caution; nothing here can be taken lightly. This town may be bustling, but it also hides many unknown secrets."
Lin Tiantian listened to her brother's words and restrained her excitement, saying earnestly, "Brother, how can we find clues to the soul mirror? There are so many people here; do we have to ask each one?"
Lin Ting shook his head gently, "We can't act blindly. Let's observe first and see if we can find any useful information from these people's conversations."
Suddenly, an old man in a deep blue robe walked into the teahouse, immediately catching Lin Ting's attention. The old man's eyes revealed a profound depth as he approached the table where Lin Ting and the other two were sitting, and whispered, "I know what you are looking for. Perhaps I can offer some help."
Lin Tiantian's eyes immediately lit up: "Do you really know about the soul mirror?"
The old man smiled slightly, pulled out a chair and sat down: "soul mirror is not just a mirror, it hides a huge secret behind it, closely related to an ancient war."
Shue Ling's eyebrows slightly furrowed, "How did you know all this?"
The old man slowly sipped his tea and said lightly, "For many years, I have been pursuing these ancient secrets. The soul mirror is the key to the three realms. If it falls into the hands of evil, the consequences would be unimaginable."
Lin Ting After listening, he pondered for a moment and then asked, "Do you know how to unlock the secret of the soul mirror?"
The old man nodded and took out a tattered map from his pocket. "Here are some legendary locations recorded on this map. You can start with these legends, perhaps you can find some clues."
Lin Tiantian took the map excitedly and said with curiosity in her eyes, "Great, with this, we are one step closer to the secret."
Shue Ling remained calm and said, "We need to proceed with caution. Let's find the location of the spell given by Honglian first, and then think about other things."
Lin Ting nodded and thanked the old man, saying, "Thank you for your help. We will be careful."
The old man stood up and mysteriously said, "Remember, the secret of the soul mirror is far more profound than you can imagine. Good luck to you." With that, he quietly left the teahouse.
Shue Ling Carefully studying the map, he said, "We need to plan a carefully crafted route to avoid unnecessary trouble."
Lin Tingze is considering every possible risk: "We must be well prepared, this journey could be very dangerous."
Lin Tiantian is still excited: "Wow! Let's go fight monsters!"
The three of them decided to set out at dawn and head to the location of the first magic circle. As night fell, the lights in the teahouse illuminated their faces, as if foreshadowing an impending crisis.
When the first light of dawn illuminated the ancient wooden tables of the teahouse, Lin Ting and the others were already prepared to set off. Their goal was to seek out the location of the spell provided by the red lotus and explore the mysterious power of the soul mirror.
"This journey is fraught with danger, we must be careful," Lin Ting's words were filled with caution.
Lin Tiantian gently tugged at Lin Ting's sleeve, her eyes shining with confidence: "Brother, don't worry, I'm here to make sure the enemy won't stand a chance!"
Shue Ling tightly gripped the long whip in her hand, her eyes filled with calm determination.
Leaving the teahouse, the three of them set out on the journey to the first magic circle. Along the way, Lin Tiantian's attention was often drawn to the small shops and various peculiar objects on the roadside. Her curiosity made her unable to help but stop and admire these rare treasures.
Watching her sister's excitement, Lin Ting couldn't help but gently remind her, " Tiantian, don't forget our mission. We can't delay for too long."
Lin Tiantian pouted, half coquettish and half dissatisfied: "I got it, big brother, you're always so serious."
Shue Ling quietly observed the surroundings. Although he was curious about human life, he was more concerned about potential dangers.
They passed through the bustling market and arrived at a remote mountain area. Lin Tiantian walked briskly, while Lin Tingze carefully led the way, stepping steadily with each step.
In a quiet and mysterious forest, Lin Ting, Lin Tiantian, and Shue Ling went through a difficult search and finally found the location of the magic circle described by Honglian. This was a small valley hidden deep in the mountains, with ancient trees and clear runes on the stone stele despite the wind and rain.
Lin Ting squatted down, lightly touching every line on the stone tablet with his fingertips, his eyes showing concentration and deep thought. His voice was low and steady: "These runes are very ancient, but they seem to be closely related to the secret of the soul mirror. We may have found an important clue."
Lin Tiantian, on the other hand, looked around with curiosity. Suddenly, her gaze fell on a secluded corner in the valley, and an excited expression appeared on her face: "Brother, look over there! It looks like a hidden cave, and there seems to be something inside."
Shue Ling quickly walked over to take a look, his movements cautious and nimble. In the corner, he saw an ancient wooden box lying quietly, covered by moss and vines. He gently brushed off the dust, carefully opened the wooden box, and inside was an ancient jade pendant, engraved with peculiar patterns that seemed to conceal profound secrets.
"This jade pendant looks very ancient, and the patterns on it seem to have some connection with this magic circle," Shue Ling spoke with a deep and serious voice, his eyes revealing a subtle curiosity and vigilance that was not easily noticeable.
Lin Ting walked over and carefully observed the jade pendant. His eyes revealed admiration: "This jade pendant should be the key, perhaps it can help us unlock the secret of the soul mirror. Let's take it back for research."
Lin Tiantian clapped excitedly: "This is truly amazing! We actually found something so important in such a hidden place! Brother, what should we do next?"
Lin Ting contemplated for a while, then decided, "We need to find a safe place to thoroughly study the connection between this jade pendant and the magic array. Only by fully understanding these ancient runes can we uncover the secret of the soul mirror."
Shue Ling nodded in agreement, his expression becoming more serious, "Stay vigilant at all times. The evil king's dark mist eyes are everywhere in the three realms. We cannot let him know our whereabouts."
The sudden sound of hurried footsteps abruptly shattered the silence of the night. Not long after Lin Ting and the others had left the location of the spell formation, they were surrounded by a group of mysterious figures dressed in black. The moonlight cast dappled shadows through the leaves, adding to the ominous atmosphere.
Lin Ting swiftly drew his short sword, his eyes flashing with vigilance. His voice was low and firm: "It seems our actions have attracted attention. Prepare for battle."
Lin Tiantian Gripping the spiritual sword tightly in her hand, her eyes burned with the flames of battle, unable to contain her excitement as she exclaimed, "Good! Let these uninvited guests see how formidable we are!" Her voice revealed a wild courage.
Shue Ling, on the other hand, calmly wielded a long whip, and with each movement, a chill danced through the air, as if transforming into invisible blades, instilling fear in the hearts of onlookers.
A battle broke out, and Lin Ting confronted the men in black with his steady and precise swordsmanship. Every swing of his sword was filled with strength and strategy, as if each strike had calculated the opponent's reaction. With the flash of his sword, the men in black retreated one after another, unable to get close to him.
Lin Tiantian, on the other hand, charged into the forefront of the battle like a fierce tiger. Although her swordsmanship was somewhat impulsive, it was also extremely sharp. Every swing of her sword carried an unstoppable momentum, causing the men in black to retreat in fear. Her every attack was filled with strength and speed, as if her sword was full of boundless vitality and passion.
Shue Ling's long whip turned into streaks of cold light on the battlefield, with each strike containing a frosty chill. The whip, like a nimble serpent, entwined and struck, preventing the black-clothed men from getting close. They were constrained by Shue Ling's whip shadows, unable to effectively organize their attacks.
As time passed, the number of black-clothed men gradually decreased, and their offensive began to become chaotic. Lin Ting's swordsmanship remained rigorous and calm, Lin Tiantian became more and more courageous in battle, and each of Shue Ling's strikes appeared extremely deadly.
In the end, after a fierce battle, the men in black had to retreat, leaving Lin Ting and the other two standing in their place, panting heavily.
Lin Tiantian wiped the sweat from her forehead, her voice revealing a sense of pride: "It seems they underestimated us." Her expression carried pride and enthusiasm.
Lin Ting nodded gently, his gaze firm and calm: "This battle has proven our strength, but we must not be complacent."
Shue Ling gazed deeply at the night sky, his voice low and rhythmic: "This battle is just the beginning. We must uncover the secrets of soul mirror step by step." His eyes revealed an unwavering determination.
Lin Ting gazed at the jade pendant and said in a deep voice, "We must quickly unlock the secret of the soul mirror in order to stop the evil king's plot with the black mist. Next, we will head to the next magic circle."
