The night was as dark as ink, weighing heavily on the sky of this bustling city. Lin Yu, an ordinary antique shop owner, was worried about the rent that was about to rise at the end of the month. The business in the store was quiet, and most of the few customers were just passing by, and very few were really willing to pay for things.
Tonight, Lin Yu was preparing to close the store as usual. When he was sorting out the dusty old things on the shelves, he suddenly found a string of Buddhist beads in the corner emitting a faint halo. Under this dim light, this light looked particularly strange. You know, this string of Buddhist beads has been in the store for a long time, and it has never been seen so strange before.
Lin Yu picked up the Buddhist beads with doubts, and the touch was warm and had an indescribable texture. At this moment, a rapid knock on the door suddenly sounded, which seemed particularly abrupt in the quiet night. Lin Yu frowned. It was so late, who could it be?
He opened the door, and a man with a hurried look stood at the door. The man looked to be in his thirties, wearing a pair of black-framed glasses, and his eyes behind the lenses flashed with an indescribable eagerness and excitement. “Boss, I heard that you have a lot of old things here, can I take a look?” The man’s voice trembled slightly.
Lin Yu was a little wary, after all, it was rare for a customer to suddenly come to the door so late. But thinking of the rent that was about to rise, he still stepped aside to let the man into the store. As soon as the man entered the store, his eyes seemed to be attracted by something, and he looked straight at the Buddhist beads in Lin Yu’s hand, and the eagerness in his eyes instantly became strong.
“Boss, you name a price for this Buddhist bead, I want it.” The man reached out to take the Buddhist beads. Lin Yu subconsciously shrank back, he felt that the man’s reaction was too strange, and this Buddhist bead might really have something special. “Sir, I haven’t planned to sell this Buddhist bead yet, and its origin is unknown, and I don’t know if it is worth it.” Lin Yu said.
The man was anxious, “Boss, don’t tease me. I can tell that this Buddha bead is a good thing. Just name a price. As long as it’s not too outrageous, I can accept it.” Lin Yu’s heart moved, and he decided to test the man. “Then tell me, what’s good about this Buddha bead?”
The man was stunned for a moment, and then hesitantly said: “I… I just like it when I see it, and I think this Buddha bead exudes a sense of spirituality.” Lin Yu sneered in his heart. The man was obviously hiding something. At this moment, the Buddha beads suddenly shone brightly, and the strong light pierced both of them to close their eyes.
When the light dissipated, Lin Yu was surprised to find that the man disappeared out of thin air! It seemed that nothing had happened in the store. Only the string of Buddha beads was still lying quietly in his hand, but the halo became softer. A chill surged in Lin Yu’s heart. What was going on? Who is this mysterious man? Why is he so obsessed with the Buddha beads? And what secrets are hidden in these Buddha beads?
Lin Yu decided to figure it all out. He began to study the beads carefully and found that each bead was engraved with some strange symbols, which looked like words but were not words. He had never seen them before. Just as he was concentrating, the symbols on the beads suddenly flashed, and then a countdown appeared in front of him, with numbers constantly jumping, 99:59:59, 99:59:58…
Lin Yu was shocked. What did this countdown mean? Was it the approach of danger, or was there any special mission? He was completely confused. At this time, he suddenly remembered that when he was sorting out the store warehouse, he had seen some similar symbols on a tattered ancient book, but he didn’t care at the time.
Lin Yu hurriedly rummaged through the boxes and cabinets to find the ancient book. When he opened the ancient book again, he found that a photo of himself appeared on one of the pages of an old newspaper. In the photo, he was wearing ancient costumes, with a serious look, and the surrounding scene was completely unlike modern times. What was going on? How could he appear in an old newspaper? And he was dressed in ancient costumes.
Lin Yu’s mind was in a mess, and all kinds of questions were intertwined in his mind. When the countdown was 99:00:00, the Buddhist beads suddenly made a buzzing sound, and then a soft light enveloped Lin Yu. After the light dissipated, Lin Yu found himself in a strange place.
The clouds and mists were lingering here, and the fairy mountain pavilions were looming. Lin Yu was surprised and happy. Did he travel through time? Or did he enter some mysterious space? Just when he was at a loss, a figure slowly walked over.
The person who came was an old man with white hair and a fairy-like appearance. “Young man, you have a connection with these Buddhist beads, but you are also involved in a huge dispute because of them.” The old man’s voice was low and powerful. Lin Yu hurriedly asked: “Senior, what is going on? What is the origin of this Buddhist bead?”
The old man said slowly: “This Buddhist bead is called Qiankun Buddhist Bead, which has the power to turn the world around. It was originally an ancient artifact. After it was lost in the world, I don’t know how many fights it has caused. The man who just disappeared was teleported away by the power of the Buddhist beads, but he was also in danger. And the countdown in front of you is the time for you to unlock the secret of the Buddhist beads and get rid of this crisis.”
Lin Yu’s heart tightened. He didn’t expect that there was such an amazing secret behind the Buddhist beads. “Then what should I do?” He asked eagerly. The old man smiled slightly, “In this fairy mountain, there is a mysterious cave with a secret book hidden in the cave. Only by understanding the contents of the secret book can you control the power of the Buddhist beads and resolve the crisis. But there are many dangers in this fairy mountain, you have to be careful.”
Lin Yu took a deep breath and decided to meet the challenge. Under the guidance of the old man, he walked towards the direction of the mysterious cave. Along the way, he was cautious and always alert to the movements around him. Finally, he found the cave.
The cave was dark and damp, filled with a decayed smell. Lin Yu groped forward, and suddenly, he heard a slight rustling sound. His heart tightened, he stopped and listened carefully. The sound was getting closer and closer, as if something was slowly approaching.
Lin Yu clenched the Buddhist beads in his hand and stared at the front nervously. At this moment, a huge spider rushed out of the darkness and pounced on him with its fangs and claws. Lin Yu had no time to think about it, raised the Buddhist beads, and shouted: “Qiankun Buddhist beads, help me!”
The Buddhist beads shone again, and the light turned into a barrier to keep the spider out. The spider screamed angrily and kept hitting the barrier. Lin Yu took this opportunity to look for the secret book everywhere in the cave. Finally, he found a book emitting a faint light in a corner.
As soon as he got the secret book, the spider’s attack broke through the barrier and pounced on him again. Lin Yu hurriedly opened the secret book, and saw that it said: “If the heart is calm, then the world can be controlled.” Lin Yu’s heart moved, and he tried to calm himself down and concentrate.
Just as the spider was about to pounce on him, Lin Yu suddenly realized a trace of power in the secret book. He injected power into the Buddhist beads, and the Buddhist beads shone brightly, and a powerful force repelled the spider. The spider reluctantly retreated into the darkness.
Lin Yu successfully got the secret book and temporarily resolved the crisis in front of him. But he knew that this was just the beginning. The countdown was still ticking, and he had to fully comprehend the secret book and control the power of the Buddhist beads within the specified time. Moreover, he didn’t know how many unknown dangers were waiting for him in this fairy mountain. What exactly is this mysterious space? What bigger mystery is hidden behind it? Lin Yu continued his adventure with a heart full of questions…
