Legend of the Embroiderer

In that secret room hidden deep underground, the team members were immersed in a heated and tense discussion.

This basement seemed to be a corner forgotten by time. The surrounding walls were covered with traces of years of erosion and the air was filled with damp air.

Everyone gathered tightly around a yellowed map left behind by a time traveler, staring intently at every mark on it.

This map points to an ancient and mysterious relic. According to legend, there is a powerful mysterious force there that can seal evil spirits.

At this moment, the night was as dark as ink, and thick dark clouds obscured the brilliant starry sky, plunging the entire world into darkness.

Only the flickering oil lamp in the room emitted a faint yellow light, barely illuminating people's solemn faces and the map spread out on the table.

The team members sat around the worn wooden square table, and the map was spread out like a mysterious scroll.

The crisscrossing, densely packed lines and strange symbols above are like a complex maze woven by fate, quietly waiting for brave adventurers to explore and decipher.

Li Zhao, the swordsman known for his calm and composed demeanor, couldn't help but be slightly moved. He extended his slender finger and carefully touched the prominent mark on the map, his eyes gleaming with determination.

After hesitating for a moment, he said in a low but powerful voice:

"In my opinion, we should follow the clues left by the traveler without hesitation. After all, this map before us is our only guide to finding the mysterious power and sealing the evil spirit."

His words were concise and clear, and each word seemed to have been carefully considered and was powerful.

Su Mengyao, who was standing next to Li Zhao, had a look of curiosity and excitement on her face.

Her bright eyes sparkled with eagerness, like the brightest stars in the night sky. She was clearly eager for the upcoming adventure.

"I agree with Li Zhao. This relic may really hide the answer we have been searching for."

Her clear and melodious voice rang out, mixed with a hint of unconcealable anticipation, as if she had already glimpsed the dawn of the final victory of this adventure through the thick fog.

Unlike her, Wu Chen and Lu Zhanyuan had reservations about this.

Wu Chen, the knight who was always known for his wit and intelligence, was now frowning, his slender fingers gently and rhythmically tapping the slightly old wooden table in front of him.

We must not blindly follow them so rashly! After all, the true intentions of these travelers are not yet fully understood. Who can say for sure that this is not another carefully laid sinister trap?

His words were like a sharp sword, piercing straight into everyone's already wavering heartstrings. There was even a hint of sarcasm unconsciously revealed in his words, as if he was mocking the entire team's blind impulsiveness at this moment.

At the same time, Lu Zhanyuan, dressed in a white robe as white as snow, also had a frown on his face. His white and bony hands were as clean as dust as he tapped lightly on the table, making a series of slight but unusually clear sounds.

"That's right. We must be extremely cautious. We must know that the power of those evil spirits is too great to be underestimated, so we must never take risks lightly."

His voice was low and powerful. Although he sounded firm and unwavering, it still could not completely conceal the deep worry in his heart about the unknown dangers ahead.

For a moment, the atmosphere in the basement suddenly became increasingly solemn, as if even the air had condensed into an extremely heavy block of lead, pressing people so hard that they could hardly breathe.

Everyone's heart is shrouded in an instinctive fear of the unknown, but at the same time, there is a strong desire to thoroughly uncover the truth hidden behind this mysterious relic.

It is like a burning flame, constantly burning their souls, driving them forward bravely to explore the endless mysteries.

They knew very well that this adventure would very likely completely rewrite the trajectory of their own destiny, and even the rise and fall, honor and disgrace of the entire Tang Dynasty.

Li Zhao's gaze lingered on the yellowed map for a long time, wandering back and forth, his deep eyes full of doubts.

He frowned slightly and murmured softly, "Why is this mysterious relic hidden in such a remote place?"

After saying that, he slowly extended his right index finger and gently stroked the eye-catching mark on the map. At the same time, an indescribable strange premonition rose from the bottom of his heart like a tide.

At this time, Su Mengyao was quietly standing next to Li Zhao, her beautiful eyes as bright as water flashing with intense curiosity and uncontrollable excitement.

I only heard her say in a sweet voice: "Maybe, in that remote place, the answer we have been searching for for so long is hidden!"

From her expectant words, one can clearly feel that she has already sketched out a beautiful picture of a successful expedition in the depths of her mind, as if she has already seen the dawn of the final victory of this adventure.

Elsewhere, Wu Chen and Lu Zhanyuan huddled together, whispering in hushed tones. Both men had furrowed brows and solemn expressions, clearly racking their brains to ponder the immense secret hidden behind those densely packed, obscure symbols.

After a while, Lu Zhanyuan raised his voice slightly and analyzed in a firm tone:

"In my opinion, these seemingly chaotic symbols may very well be leading us to an ancient and long-forgotten ruin. There, perhaps, lies the key to sealing the evil spirits."

As he spoke, his eyes never left the map in his hand, constantly scanning it for any potentially useful clues.

At this moment, the basement door was suddenly blown open by a gust of wind, and a chill came over me, as if even time had frozen at this moment.

The team members looked at each other, and they all knew in their hearts that a new adventure was about to begin, and they must be prepared to meet the upcoming challenges.

They sat around the table, discussing their next plan of action. In the dim light of the oil lamp, their shadows stretched out long, as if merging with the ancient symbols.

Their hearts are filled with fear of the unknown, but more of a desire to uncover the truth. They know that this adventure may change their destiny, and even the destiny of the entire Tang Dynasty.

As the morning light breaks, the first rays of sunlight pour into the basement through the narrow window, and mottled light and shadows dance on the ancient stone walls.

The ancient ruins marked on the map, like a distant star, guide their destiny.

"We have no way out. This relic may be our only chance." His voice was low and powerful, and every word seemed to be carefully considered.

Su Mengyao leaned against him, her eyes gleaming with curiosity and excitement. "I agree with Li Zhao. This relic may hold the answers we need."

There was a hint of anticipation in her voice, as if she could already see the end of her adventure.

"We can't follow blindly. The traveler's true intentions are still unclear. How can we be sure this isn't another trap?"

There was a hint of sarcasm in his words, as if mocking the team's blindness.

"We must act with caution. The power of evil spirits cannot be underestimated. We cannot take risks lightly." His voice was firm, but he could not hide the worry in his heart.

After a heated discussion, the team finally decided to go to the ruins. They knew that this was their only chance and the final test for the time travelers.

Li Zhao stood up, his posture straight and upright, like a pine tree. "Then let's prepare to set off." His words were concise and powerful, like a decisive order.

Su Mengyao followed closely behind, a determined glint in her eyes. "We have no time to waste, we must act immediately.

There was a hint of urgency in her voice, as if she had already sensed the urgency of time.

Although Wu Chen and Lu Zhanyuan still had doubts in their hearts, they also knew that team unity was more important than anything else. Wu Chen stood up, his eyes gleaming with determination.

"Okay, let's go together, but we must be careful." There was a hint of determination in his words, as if he had already prepared for the worst.

Lu Zhanyuan also stood up, his figure erect and straight, like a majestic pine tree. "We will go together, sharing life and death." His words were concise and powerful, like a firm oath.

The team members began to prepare to set off. They checked their equipment, making sure every weapon was sharp and every piece of armor was sturdy and reliable.

They knew that this adventure might be full of unknown dangers, but their hearts were full of courage and determination.

As the sun rose, the team members set out on their journey to the ruins. Their figures gradually faded away in the morning light, as if blending into the long river of history.

Within the territory of the Tang Dynasty, there were continuous mountains, towering ancient trees, and a winding path looming in the dense forest.

The team members walked along the trail in the morning dew towards the legendary ruins, but they were unaware that an evil force was quietly approaching.

The sunlight filtered through the treetops, dappling onto Li Zhao's face. His brows were furrowed, and the long sword in his hand flashed coldly in the sunlight.

Su Mengyao followed closely behind, her eyes flashing with vigilance, and the magic weapon in her hand emitted a faint light.

Wu Chen and Lu Zhanyuan were guarding the two sides of the team respectively. They looked solemn and were always ready to deal with any crisis that might arise.

"We can't let our guard down. The power of evil spirits is everywhere." Li Zhao reminded his teammates in a low voice. His voice echoed in the woods with a hint of subtle tension.

Su Mengyao nodded, her eyes wandering through the dense forest around her, looking for any possible abnormalities.

"We must remain vigilant, every step could be a trap." There was a hint of determination in her voice, but she could not hide the worry in her heart.

Suddenly, a chilling wind blew through the forest, rustling the leaves, as if something was watching from the dark. A flicker of alarm flashed in Wuchen's eyes, and he whispered, "Be careful, something's approaching!"

Before she could finish her words, a dark shadow darted out of the forest and lunged towards Su Mengyao, who was in the center of the group. She reacted quickly, and the magical weapon in her hand immediately emitted a ray of light, colliding with the shadow with a loud bang. Lu Zhanyuan and Li Zhao immediately drew their swords to meet the shadow, engaging in a fierce battle with it.

The shadow is extremely fast and powerful, and every attack carries a deadly threat. The team members have to rely on each other's strength and wisdom to escape.

Li Zhao's swordsmanship was sharp, and every swing of his sword was accompanied by a sound of breaking through the air, aiming directly at the shadow's vital points. Su Mengyao's magic weapon continued to emit light, competing with the shadow's power.

Wu Chen and Lu Zhanyuan, relying on their rich combat experience, continued to look for the black shadow's weaknesses.

"Its weakness is in its eyes!" Wu Chen shouted, his fists were like heavy hammers, and every time he hit the black shadow, its body paused.

During the battle, team members not only have to resist the attacks of the shadows, but also protect each other's safety.

Their hearts were filled with tension and fear, but their will was resolute, for they knew that only by uniting as one could they defeat this powerful enemy.

The battle lasted for a long time, and the team members finally found the shadow's weakness with their tenacious will and tacit cooperation.
