Lee Xian, Cultivator of Guyon

Old Man's Secret

After passing through the mysterious forest and entertaining themselves with Xian, Cin Xiu, Wei, Xian, and the old man continued their journey across this mysterious world. They have faced various obstacles and challenges, but their spirit of adventure remains burning.

This time, they found themselves walking through a vast valley, known as the "Shadow Valley." The name was not given haphazardly; the valley was indeed filled with strange shadows that made anyone who passed by it feel uneasy.

The moment they entered this valley, the atmosphere immediately changed. The bright sunlight above them became dim, and dark shadows began to appear around them. All of this creates a sense of discomfort and anxiety.

Cin Xiu saw that the reaction of his friends was no different from his. They all looked alert and cautious as they stepped among the shadows. While the old man remained silent, seemingly unaffected by the gripping atmosphere in this valley.

"There's something strange about this place," Xian said, a voice of worry rang out in his voice. "We need to stay together and be careful."

They continued their journey carefully, trying not to separate from each other. But the deeper they went into the valley, the stronger their feelings of anxiety became.

Suddenly, the ground under their feet began to shake. They were shocked and felt their balance disturbed. Cin Xiu, Wei, Xian, and the old man held each other to maintain their balance.

"Shut up!" xian said with a firm tone. "Don't move!"

They stopped instantly, trying to determine what was going on. The ground continued to tremble, and they felt like something big and heavy was approaching.

Suddenly, from within the dark shadow came something very big. It was a giant monster with scaly skin and blazing eyes. The monster approached them quickly, making them feel pinched in place.

"We have to escape!" cin Xiu said, but it seems to be too late. The monster was getting closer, and they felt even more pinched.

But suddenly, the old man stepped forward. Quickly, he took out a long sword from behind his coat and charged at the monster with quick friction. The monster fell backwards, moaning in pain.

"Wait a minute, guys!" said the old man while staring at the monster who was still moaning. "This is just a false shadow created by this valley. We need to focus and stay calm."

They immediately realized the old man's wise words. The monster was only a shadow, and if they were not afraid, the shadow would have no power over them. With a strong determination, they continued to move forward through this valley, ignoring the shadows that were trying to disturb them.

Over time, the shadows began to disappear, and the sunlight again shone brightly above them. They had made it through the Shadow Valley with their strength of determination and courage.

They paused for a moment to take a breath and celebrate their victory. The old man showed that courage and focus are the keys to overcoming any obstacle, even in the most frightening situations.

Cin Xiu, Wei, Xian, and the old man continued their journey with greater vigor. They know that in this world, there are still many adventures waiting for them, and they are ready to face them with relentless courage and determination.

After passing through the gripping Valley of Shadow, Cin Xiu, Wei, Xian, and the old man continued their journey towards their final destination. However, their mood was different since the incident in the valley. They feel closer to each other and more confident in their ability to face obstacles.

Cin Xiu nodded in agreement, "We understand, old man. We'll be careful."

They continue to walk through diverse landscapes. As the sun began to set in the western horizon, they arrived in a dense and mysterious forest. This forest is filled with tall trees and dense foliage. The thunderous sound of the waterfall rang out from the distance.

"We will pass through this forest to reach our destination" said the old man. "But be careful with these woods. That said, this forest is home to supernatural creatures that preserve nature."

They entered the forest with careful steps, feeling tense with every sound heard between the trees and the dense foliage. In the midst of their journey, they arrive at a rover filled with colorful wildflowers. It was an amazing sight, and they paused to enjoy it.

"This forest does indeed hold beautiful surprises," Wei said with a smile.

However, suddenly, Cin Xiu saw the old man's facial expression change. He looked like he was listening to something that only he could hear. Then, quickly, he chased after something hidden among the trees.

"What's up, old man?" ask Xian.

The old man returned after a while, and his face was filled with confusion. "I heard the singing voice of a woman" he said. "But I'm sure we're not alone here."

They were all listening, and sure enough, a soft singing voice sounded in the wind. The voice called out to them, asking them to come closer.

"I think we should follow that voice," Cin Xiu said. "Maybe there's someone who needs our help."

They followed the sound of singing and arrived at a beautiful waterfall. At the edge of the waterfall, they saw a young woman standing. The woman had long flowing black hair, and she was holding a golden flute that she was playing with beautifully. His voice was so alluring, making anyone who heard him feel enchanted.

However, something strange happened as they approached. The woman did not seem surprised or frightened by their arrival. Instead, he smiled kindly and said, "Welcome, your journey has reached this point. I'm Nara, the guardian of this forest."

Cin Xiu, Wei, Xian, and the old man introduced themselves and told them their purpose on this journey. Nara listened carefully and then smiled.

"What you're looking for will be hard to find, but if you stick to your resolve, you'll definitely succeed" he said. "However, before you continue, there is something you should know."

Nara then told him a secret that had been hidden by the old man. This secret is the key to achieving their goals, and it will change everything. They listened carefully, and with a sense of hope, they continued their journey with the new knowledge they had acquired.

With their new guides, Nara, Cin Xiu, Wei, Xian, and the old man continued their journey to their final destination. They know that many obstacles and dangers lie ahead, but they also know that they have the determination and courage to face them.

In a realm filled with mystery and wonder, their adventure is not over yet. They continue their journey with hopeful hearts, ready to face everything that is to come.
