The oily black door opened with a "squeak" with the force of the early dawn. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 The first thing that catches people's attention is a wide lake, and in the sky, the faint glow at the junction of morning and afternoon is reflected on the water, reflecting the trembling clear lake water into a flowing picture.

There are three bridges over the lake, and directly opposite the gate is a stone arch bridge with carved stone balustrades on both sides of the deck. A few tens of meters to the left and right of this stone arch bridge, two symmetrical level stone slab bridges are built directly to the opposite bank. In winter, the water level is low, and there is a distance of nearly 30 centimeters between the lake and the slate bridge deck, but it is conceivable that in the rainy summer, the lake is close to the slate bridge deck, and from a distance, people walking on the bridge seem to be treading water.

On the other side of the lake there is also an antique house, but the architectural style is very different from that on the other side of the lake. The roof of the house on the opposite bank does not have high ridges and cornices, and the color of the house is mainly gray and black, which looks like a courtyard house. Chu Xiao looked at the house on the other side, and a sense of majesty came from the quaint atmosphere of the whole house, and this sense of majesty was probably related to the green mountains leaning on the back of the house. The ancient trees are towering to the sky, the blue sky is vast and the sun in the east is shining brightly, even if it becomes a flat picture on the paper, you will be able to see a little bit of that majesty.

Chu Xiao helped Yu Huan, and the two stepped into the threshold, and under their feet was a wide layer of blue-gray steps, which connected all the houses on this side of the lake. Chu Xiao stood on the steps, there was no one around, but she could feel that this was not a cold place. She glanced left and right at the houses on the other side of the lake, and saw that the area around the lake was full of ancient Hui-style buildings: the falling horse-head walls were as high as the roofs, and the eaves stretched outward. Looking up, some of the roofs are half-hidden and half-exposed between the high walls, with white walls and black tiles, plain and elegant, and distinct colors. In the middle of it, it is as if you are standing in a flat classical ink painting.

Leaning on the mountains and rivers, pink walls and tiles, Chu Xiao secretly thought, it seems that he feels wrong, this should be a landscape habitat with a strong ancient meaning, and it is not the strict office place he imagined at all.

The two of them walked down the steps, and they followed a gray stone pavement more than three meters wide.

"Aunt Huan!" a boy of twelve or thirteen years old, wearing a navy blue cotton jacket, walked out of the door of a house, just in time to see Chu Xiao and Yu Xi.

Yu Yan looks like she is seventeen or eight years old, and when she first saw that the little boy actually called her aunt, she must have a high seniority when she thought about it. Although the people in the ancient courtyard were not seen, in Chu Xiao's mind, dressing up should have been an ancient style, because in this way could better the unity of people and land, but Chu Xiao saw that the young man, whether it was dressed or his words and deeds, seemed to be no different from the middle school students in the Yang Realm, and she couldn't help but be curious about the people here.

"Ming Qi ......" Yu Yan stopped and looked at the young man who was running over.

"Auntie, I'll help you go back to rest. While the young man spoke, he had already helped Yu Huan's right arm and helped Yu Huan forward with Chu Xiao.

"Thank you, Mingqi. Although Yu Yan looked sickly, she still smiled and spoke, and she looked at Ming Qi with a bit of an elder's demeanor.

"Aunt Huan, who is this?" The three of them stepped on the stone arch bridge in the middle from the stone road, and Ming Qi looked at Chu Xiao and asked Yu Xi.

"My friend. Yu Yan replied.

"Hey...... Hello this brother. Chu Xiao greeted with a slightly shy smile, although she was a few years old with Yu Yan, but after thinking about it, she still wanted to call Ming Qi's younger brother.

"Uh...... Hello. The boy was startled for a moment, and then responded with a polite smile.

At this time, Yu Yan actually made a shallow toothy smile accompanied by a short laugh with the support of the two.

"What's wrong?" Chu Xiao asked puzzled, she turned her head to see that Ming Qi seemed to be smiling.

"He is older than you, but you call her brother. Yu Yan looked at Chu Xiao, revealing a serious face, and her demeanor revealed a sense of surprise, like a funny and mocking look, but her already sinister voice seemed to be even more lacking at this moment.

"He's older than me?" Chu Xiao first looked at Yu Huan, and then went to look at Ming Qi, and finally was still a little incredulous.

Is it because the generation is older than me? I shouldn't be able to discuss the generation with Ming Qi, right? Could it be that the people here can be young and immortal as written in the novel? Or is it that in this semi-material and semi-conscious space, can the appearance of people actually be materialized by consciousness? Can each of them choose the face they want to show the most, and then materialize and present it?

Chu Xiao only guessed this, and she didn't want to explore this matter for the time being, because she wanted to send Yu Yan to a resting place as soon as possible.

The three of them crossed the stone arch bridge and came to the opposite bank. At first dawn, I saw that the house at this end was a large mansion, and its door was open in the southeast corner. Looking up along the vermilion gate, Chu Xiao saw a wooden black lacquer plaque hanging on the door, and the plaque was engraved with two gold characters in the block letter: Lingzhai.

The three of them went up the steps to the door, and Ming Qi suddenly stopped and said, "Aunt Huan, I can only send you here." ”

"It's okay, I can go in by myself......" Yu Yan said and looked at Chu Xiao, and after a slight pause, he said to Chu Xiao, "You also have to rest." ”

"I'm not tired, I'll go in with you first. ”

Chu Xiao secretly thought that Yu Yan lived in this side of the house, so shouldn't all the spirit girls living in this house be like Yu Yan, right? If this is the case, then this house is like a girls' dormitory, so Ming Qi, a man, naturally can't get in, but he should be able to give Yu Yan in.

In fact, Chu Xiao is a little unconsciously afraid of life, she doesn't know anyone here except Yu Huan, she really doesn't want Yu Heng to let herself go shopping when the time comes.

"But how do you get in?" Ming Qi asked Chu Xiao.

"Push......"

Is it still difficult to "push the door in"? Chu Xiao was a little confused for a moment, and she put her already suspended hand on the door. Just like when he pushed open the door of the Soul Threshold, Chu Xiao easily used his palm to push it, but the door did not move at all.

Yu Yan saw that Chu Xiao couldn't open the door, and her brows gradually wrinkled slightly, and it looked even more uncomfortable.

It seems that this door is closed quite tightly, and Chu Xiao immediately switched to pushing with greater force, but the more she pushed, the more she felt that the door was as heavy as a mountain, and it was not something that ordinary people could push open.

"No wonder, this door can be opened by Ming Qi and me!" Chu Xiao thought unwillingly.

Chu Xiao took a closer look at the door, and suddenly found that the door in front of him was very strange. There were no knockers on the doors on both sides, it seemed to be just two flat planks, and although the door looked like two doors, it seemed that there was only a line drawn between the two doors, and it didn't look like a normal door gap, and the two doors seemed to be connected together.

"It's okay, I can go in myself, don't worry. Yu Yan gently took Chu Xiao's hand on her arm, she smiled lightly, and her frowning brows stretched again.

"This door is too heavy, how are you going to enter like this?" Chu Xiao frowned when he saw Yu Yan's appearance, and he should still be puzzled.

Ming Qi was silent, he didn't have the idea of stepping forward to help push the door, just maintained a smiling face that seemed to know everything.

Yu Yan slightly hooked the corners of her lips, she supported the door on the left with one hand, and then put the other hand on the door on the right, only to see that she pushed the door effortlessly, and with a "squeak", the door on the right opened. Yu Yan stepped directly into the door, and then the door closed automatically, and Yu Yan's figure disappeared into the door.

"Piercing the wall, piercing the door?" Chu Xiao's facial features did not change much, but the look of surprise and disbelief on her whole face was clear at a glance, and she seemed to be talking to herself.

"Aunt Cheng must have opened a door that we couldn't see, and she entered through that door. Ming Qi said leisurely.

"The invisible door? I see that she entered through the door, and I guess it must be a mysterious skill. Chu Xiao walked up to Ming Qi.

Ming Qi grinned: "I don't know, you can ask her again when Aunt Huan is ready, anyway......" Ming Qi turned his head and glanced at the door of the mansion again, "It's not just anyone who can get in here." ”

Chu Xiao also turned her head to look at the vermilion gate again, she listened to Ming Qi's words, nodded silently, and the whole person looked a little lost.

"Spirit House ......" Chu Xiao looked at the black plaque, secretly muttered, turned his head and followed Ming Qi.
