The runes on the stone wall suddenly became extremely active, as if something was awakening.
I felt a strong backlash that almost made me lose control.
"Be careful!" Yuan Ling shouted, her magic ring shining with light, forming a protective shield to resist the impact.
Qin Wuyan's green sword also danced in the air, forming sword energy barriers to help us stabilize our formation.
While we were struggling to maintain our formation, the shadow's voice sounded again: "Quick! The core of the sealing formation is..." Its voice echoed in the air, guiding us to the key to releasing the seal.
With the help of that shadow, we finally found a way to break the seal.
After some hard work, the ancient sealing formation was finally unlocked by us.
As the last rune was lifted, the air in the entire cave seemed to become much lighter.
The shadow outside let out a long sigh, his voice full of relief and gratitude: "Finally...I can be free...Thank you, brave travelers."
As its sound faded away, the whole valley seemed to cheer it.
The three of us smiled at each other and felt a sense of accomplishment in completing our mission.
As the oppressive atmosphere in the valley completely dissipated, we also felt an unprecedented sense of relief.
However, just as we were about to leave this place, Yuan Ling suddenly stopped and her eyes became serious.
"Wait, we can't just leave like this." Yuan Ling's voice was low and serious, and she pointed to the depths of the cave, "There are more secrets hidden here."
Qin Wuyan and I looked at each other, our hearts filled with curiosity.
We decided to enter the cave again and explore its secrets.
Soon after, we discovered an ancient altar in the deepest part of the cave, covered with dust and cobwebs.
There were some strange symbols and objects placed on the altar, and one of the objects caught our attention - a book with a worn cover.
Yuan Ling opened the book carefully and saw ancient spells and some seemingly undecipherable symbols recorded on the pages.
"This may be an ancient Taoist book, which contains huge and complex knowledge." Yuan Ling said.
Qin Wuyan looked around cautiously. His intuition told him that there might be unknown dangers hidden in this place.
I was attracted by a passage in the book, which was about the natural disaster star and the extremely yin body.
I seemed to have found a clue related to my destiny, and there was an inexplicable excitement and expectation in my heart.
We decided to take the book with us, hoping to find clues to the mystery of my fate.
Just as we were about to leave, the cave suddenly trembled, as if something was about to awaken.
"Let's go!" Qin Wuyan shouted loudly, his green sword shining in his hand.
The three of us quickly fled the cave, only to hear a huge roar behind us, as if the entire valley was shaking.
In the process of escaping, I couldn't help but look back and saw thick black mist pouring out of the entrance of the cave, as if some unspeakable existence was awakening.
We finally made it safely out of the cave and back into the valley.
The sun gradually rises, shining warm sunshine.
When the first ray of the sun penetrated the thick clouds and reflected on our tired faces, the three of us looked at each other with determination and determination in our eyes.
Yanshan, a place full of unknowns and dangers, is waiting for us.
For Yuan Ling, Dujiangcheng is not only her hometown, but also a safe haven in her heart.
We embarked on a journey to Yanshan and Dujiang City.
Walking on the winding mountain road, surrounded by dense trees and low-hanging clouds, it seems that countless secrets are hidden.
Yuan Ling's steps were steady, and her eyes showed her longing for her hometown.
Qin Wuyan reminded us from time to time to pay attention to the movements around us. His intuition was always so keen, as if he could sense every unusual breath.
Along the way, we occasionally encountered some little demons with relatively shallow abilities, but in front of our power, they were nothing more than fleeting scenery.
Every time Qin Wuyan's green sword was unsheathed, it brought a fierce sword wind, killing the demon under the sword.
Yuan Ling, on the other hand, used her good talismans and spells to easily resolve the attacks of these monsters.
Along the way, I kept asking them for various methods and strategies to deal with monsters.
They also generously shared their experiences and insights.
I gradually felt the heavy responsibility and challenges of being a Taoist priest.
As night fell, we set up camp in a secluded cave.
The bonfire swayed in the night, making our shadows grow long.
We sat around the fire and shared a simple dinner.
The firelight reflected Qin Wuyan's serious face. He told us about his Taoist experience and some anecdotes, which made us listen with interest.
"Do you know?" Qin Wuyan suddenly said mysteriously, "There is a legend near Dujiang City, saying that there is an ancient temple in which a mysterious god is enshrined.
It is said that the god has the ability to predict the future, but he is also an unpredictable being.
Every full moon night, a temple will appear on the edge of Dujiang City and is only open to specific people.
Those who gain access can ask the gods a question, but at the cost of their most precious memories. "Qin Wuyan's words made the chill in the night sky seem to deepen a bit.
Yuan Ling frowned slightly, as if she had heard about this legend, but she didn't say much.
A sense of curiosity and uneasiness arose in my heart, thinking that if I could really ask about my grandfather, I might be able to solve the mystery of my fate.
The next morning we packed our bags and continued our journey.
As we approached Dujiang City, the surrounding scenery gradually became familiar.
Yuan Ling's expression also became relaxed, obviously because she was about to return to her hometown.
We passed through a dense bamboo forest, and the sunlight filtered through the bamboo leaves, casting mottled shadows on the ground.
Suddenly, a gust of cool wind blew through, and a low whimpering sound came from the bamboo forest, as if something was quietly peeping at us.
Qin Wuyan's eyes became wary, and the green sword in his hand glowed slightly.
We picked up the pace, but the feeling grew stronger.
Soon after, we walked out of the bamboo forest, and suddenly our eyes opened up, and a simple and magnificent city appeared in our sight.
That is Dujiang City, which is located on a vast plain. The city walls are tall and solid, covered with ivy.
Two big red lanterns hung on the city gate, swaying gently in the wind.
Entering the city, the streets are lined with rows of antique buildings. Pedestrians come and go, and the fireworks of city life hit your face.
