The setting sun was like a golden gem, gradually sinking to the west, generously sprinkling the last rays of light on Gu Qianning and Chu Mohan, outlining a warm golden edge for them. The breeze gently blew past, ruffling their hair and clothes, as if cheering for the new hope of this land. They stood on the height of the village, looking at the prosperous scene before them, with a gleam of longing in their eyes.

In this peaceful and prosperous place, a strange figure stepped into the village. He was dressed in a black robe and a hood, hiding his face in the shadows. His steps were light and steady, and his gestures exuded a mysterious aura. The arrival of this mysterious visitor was like a stone thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples in the village.

The first person to notice the visitor was a child in the village. At that time, the child was playing at the entrance of the village. When he saw the strange figure, he followed curiously. Fang Ke seemed to notice the child following him, but he did not stop, but walked straight to the center of the village. Seeing this, the child hurried back to the village and told the other villagers the news.

Gu Qianning and Chu Mohan immediately became alert after hearing the news. They decided to secretly observe the visitor's actions. The visitor was seen walking around the village, sometimes stopping to observe the goods in the store, and sometimes chatting with the villagers. His eyes revealed a sense of scrutiny and exploration, making it difficult to figure out his purpose.

In order to understand the visitor's background and purpose, Gu Qianning and Chu Mohan began to ask around. They learned from the villagers who had talked to the visitor that the visitor showed a strong interest in the development of the village, but did not mention his identity or purpose. This made Gu Qianning and Chu Mohan even more confused.

"This person is very strange. He suddenly appeared in our village but didn't tell us his purpose. I always feel that he has bad intentions." Gu Qianning said to Chu Mohan with a frown.

Chu Mohan nodded, "I feel the same way. But let's not alert him yet and see what he will do next."

In the next few days, the visitor continued to move around the village. Sometimes he helped the villagers with their work, sometimes he told them stories from the outside world, and gradually won the favor of some villagers. However, Gu Qianning and Chu Mohan were not fooled by these superficial phenomena, and they always remained vigilant against the guest.

One night, Gu Qianning and Chu Mohan found Fang Ke walking into the forest behind the village alone. They decided to follow him quietly to see what he was going to do. The forest was filled with mist, and the moonlight shone through the gaps in the leaves, forming patches of mottled light and shadow. Gu Qianning and Chu Mohan followed Fang Ke carefully, not daring to make any sound.

Fang Ke stopped at a clearing in the forest, took out a strange instrument from his pocket, and began to fiddle with it. The instrument was flashing with strange lights, which were particularly eye-catching in the darkness.

"What is he doing? That instrument looks strange." Gu Qianning said in a low voice.

Chu Mohan made a gesture to keep quiet, indicating her to continue observing.

After a while, Fang Ke put away the instrument and turned to walk in another direction. Gu Qianning and Chu Mohan continued to follow behind. After walking for a while, Fang Ke came to an abandoned temple. He pushed open the door of the temple and walked in.

Gu Qianning and Chu Mohan quietly came to the temple gate and looked inside through the crack. They saw Fang Ke lighting an oil lamp in the temple and groping for something on the wall. Suddenly, a secret door appeared on the wall, and Fang Ke pushed it open and walked in.

Gu Qianning and Chu Mohan looked at each other and decided to follow in to find out. They gently pushed open the door and walked into the dark room. The dark room was filled with an old atmosphere, and some ancient books and artifacts were placed around. Fang Ke was standing in front of a table, looking at a map on it.

"What is this place? Why is he interested in it?" Gu Qianning was full of questions.

At this moment, Fang Ke suddenly turned around and found them. A hint of surprise appeared on his face, but he quickly regained his composure.

"As expected, you followed me after all." Fang Ke's voice was low and hoarse.

Gu Qianning stepped forward and asked, "Who are you? Why did you come to our village?"

The visitor smiled and said, "My name is Yeying, and I'm an explorer. I heard the story of this village and became very interested in it, so I came here."

"Just because of interest? I don't believe it." Chu Mohan said.

Yeying sighed, "Well, since you have discovered it, I will no longer hide it. In fact, I am looking for a lost treasure. Legend has it that this treasure is hidden in this land."

Gu Qianning and Chu Mohan were shocked when they heard this. They didn't expect that the purpose of this mysterious visitor was to find the treasure.

"We don't know what the treasure is. You've come to the wrong place." Gu Qianning said.

Yeying smiled and said, "No, I won't make a mistake. I have found some clues here. Just give me a little more time and I will definitely find the treasure."

"Whether there is treasure or not, this is our home and we will not allow you to do whatever you want here." Chu Mohan said firmly.

Ye Ying looked at them, a trace of disdain flashed in his eyes, "You guys think you can stop me?"

As he spoke, Ye Ying suddenly attacked and rushed towards Gu Qianning and Chu Mohan. Chu Mohan quickly protected Gu Qianning behind him and started fighting with Ye Ying. Ye Ying's martial arts were very strong, and Chu Mohan gradually fell into a disadvantage.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Gu Qianning took out a weapon from the space and shot it at Ye Ying. Ye Ying dodged sideways, and the weapon hit the wall with a loud bang.

Taking advantage of the moment when Ye Ying was distracted, Chu Mohan launched a fierce attack and forced Ye Ying back. Seeing that the situation was not good, Ye Ying turned around and fled from the dark room.

Gu Qianning and Chu Mohan chased out of the temple, but Ye Ying had disappeared without a trace.

"This Yeying is too dangerous. We must find him as soon as possible and not let him destroy our village." Gu Qianning said.

Chu Mohan nodded, "Well, let's mobilize the villagers to search together and find him."

So, Gu Qianning and Chu Mohan returned to the village and told the villagers what had happened. After hearing this, the villagers expressed their willingness to help. A large-scale search was launched in the village and the surrounding mountains and forests.

After several days of searching, they finally found traces of Ye Ying in a cave. Gu Qianning and Chu Mohan led the villagers to surround the cave.

"Yeying, you have nowhere to escape, come out quickly." Gu Qianning shouted.

After a while, Yeying walked out of the cave with a box in his hand.

"Do you think you can catch me like this? This treasure is mine." Yeying said.

Chu Mohan said: "Put down the box and we can spare your life."

Yeying laughed, "Spare my life? You are too naive."

As he spoke, Ye Ying opened the box, and a beam of light shot out from the box. Gu Qianning and Chu Mohan only felt their eyes go dark before they lost consciousness.

When they woke up, they found themselves in a strange place, surrounded by darkness, with only a faint light in front.

"Where is this? How did we get here?" Gu Qianning asked.

Chu Mohan shook his head, "I don't know, but we must find a way out."

They walked towards the direction of the light, and gradually they saw a huge stone door. There were some strange patterns and words engraved on the stone door.

"What is this?" Gu Qianning asked curiously.

Chu Mohan observed it carefully and said, "I don't know either, but I feel there is some secret hidden behind this stone door."

Just as they were about to push open the stone door, Ye Ying suddenly appeared behind them.

"You can't escape. This is the core area of ​​the treasure. As long as I get the treasure, you will all die." Ye Ying said.
