Chapter 106 Ancient Legend
Lin Yi and the mysterious figure flashed away, leaving the quiet and mysterious valley. Holding tightly in their hands the precious Dharma Manifestations they had retrieved from the cave, they both frowned slightly, lost in thought, and began to seriously consider their next course of action.
"These clues seem to be guiding us to more distant areas, but which direction should we go now?" Lin Yi raised his head and stared at the mysterious man beside him, his tone revealing a hint of confusion and anxiety.
Upon hearing this, the mysterious man calmly pulled out a yellowed, ancient map from his pocket and carefully unfolded it before him. His deep, abyssal eyes fixed on the densely packed symbols and patterns on the map, occasionally tapping his chin and nodding slightly, clearly absorbed in studying the mysteries hidden within.
After a long moment, the mysterious figure slowly raised his head, his gaze fixed firmly toward the east. He spoke, "In my opinion, based on the hints given by the various symbols and patterns on this map, we should head east. I have a strong premonition that the answers we've been searching for are most likely hidden in that direction."
As soon as the words fell, Lin Yi nodded decisively and firmly without hesitation, indicating his complete agreement with the other party's words. Then, as if they were telepathically connected, the two of them tacitly understood each other. Without saying a word, they quickly took off and rushed towards the east like an arrow.
On this long journey, they pressed on day and night, undeterred by wind and rain. During the day, the sun hung high in the sky, casting its merciless rays on the earth, scorching the ground. The blazing sun scorched overhead, while the path beneath their feet was rugged and full of obstacles. At night, the darkness was pitch black and silent, leaving them with nowhere to go. They could only sleep in the open air, using the sky as their blanket and the earth as their bed. Furthermore, they had to endure the nagging bites of mosquitoes, the itching and pain making sleep impossible.
Yet, despite the immense hardships of this journey, filled with the hardships of sleeping in the open air, a blazing fire burned deep within them. That fire was an intense longing for the unknown, an unwavering pursuit of the truth. This hope and determination, like the brightest and most dazzling star in the night sky, shone brightly, illuminating their path and giving them endless courage and strength.
After several days of non-stop travel, they finally arrived at a bustling city, bustling with people and traffic, with all kinds of sounds rising and falling, interweaving together to form a unique urban symphony.
"Can we really find any useful clues in this unfamiliar city?" Lin Yi stood blankly on the bustling, thronging streets, his eyes gazing helplessly at the completely unfamiliar surroundings, a trace of uneasiness and anxiety rising in his heart. After all, this bustling and noisy city was a completely new and unknown world for them, and everything seemed fraught with uncertainty. Yet, in this moment of hesitation, his deep desire and unwavering pursuit of the truth became a powerful source of motivation, sustaining his unwillingness to give up.
The mysterious figure stood tall as a pine tree, his gaze as unwavering as a burning torch. He frowned slightly and said gravely, "Don't be discouraged! Any seemingly ordinary place may hold the crucial information we desperately need, as long as we diligently explore and dig. Let's go, ask passersby one by one." With that, the two began to travel through the vast city, politely asking everyone they met if they knew any clues about the dark forces.
After a long and tireless effort, they finally spotted an elderly man sitting quietly on a secluded street. His face was weathered, his skin a patina of age. His eyes, though sunken, held a gaze of remarkable depth and distance, as if able to glimpse the mysteries of the world. When Lin Yi and the mysterious man eagerly approached him, asking for clues about the dark forces, the elderly man remained silent for a moment before slowly opening his mouth and speaking in a deep, hoarse voice...
"A long, long time ago, there was a great magician on this continent. He possessed immense power, but was eventually devoured by the forces of darkness. It is said that his castle is deep in the east, where perhaps what you want is hidden." The old man's voice was full of vicissitudes of life.
Lin Yi and the mysterious man looked at each other, and new hope ignited in their hearts.
"Old man, please! Please tell us where the castle is!" The mysterious man leaned forward slightly, his face filled with earnestness and anxiety, his tone as rapid as an ant on a hot pan. His deep eyes revealed an extreme desire to know the castle's location, as if it contained a secret that was crucial to their survival.
The old man slowly shook his head, a solemn expression emerging from his weathered face. He sighed deeply and said, "Young man, that's no ordinary place. The castle is fraught with unknown dangers, long forgotten by time. Even I, an old man who has lived here for most of my life, don't know its exact location. But…" The old man paused, raised his head, and gazed at the two anxious men before him. He continued, "According to ancient legends, only those with true fearless courage and extraordinary wisdom have a chance of finding its trace."
Upon hearing this, Lin Yi clenched his fists tightly, his knuckles turning slightly white from the exertion. He gritted his teeth and said firmly, "No matter how difficult or dangerous the situation, even if it's through fire and water, we must give it our all and try to find this castle!" He turned to look at the mysterious man beside him. The two exchanged glances and bowed deeply to the old man in gratitude.
Then, without hesitation, Lin Yi and the mysterious man turned and left, continuing eastward with resolute steps. The road was bumpy and overgrown with weeds, but their steps never faltered. The sun shone down on them, casting long shadows like warriors before a battle. No one knew what thrilling adventure lay ahead, but the unwavering faith in their hearts burned like a blazing flame, illuminating the unknown path ahead.
