"Girl, why don't you come in yet, what are you doing outside? The osmanthus cake is ready...... "Grandma started calling me in the house with a loud voice...... I was stunned, it doesn't matter, I took out my phone and looked at it, I've been standing outside for almost an hour!

However, I didn't realize it myself, and I had been standing outside for so long......

And my eyes stayed on the stone lion from beginning to end...... I looked at it and felt like there was some secret inside.

When I entered the house, I ate the osmanthus cake made by my grandmother, and because I had something on my mind, I felt that I had no taste when I ate it. My grandmother seemed to see my distraction, so she asked, "Girl, are you uncomfortable?" If I don't feel comfortable, I said it earlier, I just looked at the days...... Tomorrow night is a good day, and I'll break it for you by then! But girl, you have to remember that from now on, don't go anywhere but our house......"

Grandma's voice was somewhat serious, and it seemed like a command that I had to obey.

"Grandma, I'm fine, I see......" I replied in a whisper. After a while, I had already eaten, Gu Zhihan had nowhere to go here, so I stayed at my grandmother's house, fortunately, my parents had lived here before, so there was an empty south house. Gu Zhihan lived in that house.

My grandmother and I live in the North House, but there are two rooms in the North House, my grandmother lives in the inner room, and I live in the outer house...... I think it's also convenient to come this way, and when it comes to the evening, I can unconsciously avoid my grandmother, and then go to the place where I meet Gu Zhihan.

I waited for it until night......

Grandma was already asleep and was snoring slightly...... The inner and outer rooms are separated by a thin wall, which I really heard.

took out my mobile phone and looked at the display screen, which said "eleven fifty-five", I hurriedly sent a text message to Gu Zhihan, just afraid that Gu Zhihan would fall asleep.

Who would have thought that I was still editing this text message, Gu Zhihan's text message had already come, and the text message prompt sound was so loud in this quiet night.

I think of my sleeping grandmother, what if this sound wakes her up? So isn't my plan and Gu Zhihan's plan in vain?

My grandmother had already told me that I had to stay at home and not go out of the door...... But the stone lion was at the gate, and in the strict sense of the word, it was out of our family, so it was considered to be a violation of grandma's order.

So, I quickly turned my phone to silent, and I pricked up my ears to listen carefully to the movement in my grandmother's inner room. After discovering that everything was normal, my restless heart gradually calmed down, because I had been prepared before, so I didn't take off my clothes at all when I went to sleep.

I got out of the quilt and went out, and when I came to the gate, I found that Gu Zhihan was already standing there. Taking advantage of the moonlight, he can more or less clearly see the stone lion, Gu Zhihan's back is slender by the moonlight, and he is like a fairy under the moonlight, so beautiful.

At a certain moment, I seemed to see the shadow of another person on Gu Zhihan's body...... That man was wearing ancient costumes, but beside me, only Jin Xuan would wear ancient costumes, and there was no one else.

But with my understanding of Jin Xuan, the figure in ancient costume I saw on Gu Zhihan's body was definitely not Jin Xuan...... Instead, it looked a lot like Jin Xuan, because the two of them had exactly the same appearance. But when I panicked, I couldn't see the scene I had just seen.

"Senior brother...... You're here......" I just wanted to speak to Gu Zhihan, but I was startled by him making a silent movement, and then I quickly covered my mouth with my hand and said nothing.

Gu Zhihan looked weird...... And what I don't understand is, why do you have to come at 12 o'clock at midnight? Originally, twelve o'clock in the middle of the night was the time when the ghost door opened, but the two of us came at this time, in a very popular phrase, that is, "Of course, as one of the parties, I definitely won't expect anything to happen to the two of us!"

I hope we can go well tonight, not only to find out the secret of this stone lion, but also to completely get rid of the demonized stone lion, so that it can be regarded as helping grandma solve the trouble, and grandma will no longer have to worry about being affected by him.

As soon as I think of my grandmother, I feel as if I am filled with a kind of power...... This made me much less afraid of the stone lion, and there was a force in the dark that continued to support me.

"Yaoyao, look at ......" Following the direction of Gu Zhihan's finger, I discovered the abnormality of that stone lion! His eyes turned green in the moonlight, and they shimmered with a brilliant light, like green gems, and had a dazzling feeling.

"Senior brother, what does this mean? Didn't we come to find out the secret of this stone lion, so why didn't we force out the ghosts inside this stone lion? After getting Gu Zhihan's signal, I threw out all the questions in my heart and waited for Gu Zhihan's answer.

But Gu Zhihan just smiled lightly, this smile felt a little bleak under the moonlight, which made my heart shake unconsciously......

"Do you know why I chose to come here at twelve o'clock in the morning?" Gu Zhihan didn't answer the question I asked, but he asked me a question.

Could it be that there is a big, big relationship between this question and the two questions I just asked?

"I don't know......" I whispered, I was weak.

"Because twelve o'clock in the middle of the night is the moment when the door of the Xuanji Lion opens...... So we can go in and see what the hell is inside! This is the only chance we have to get rid of it...... The demonized stone lion, the lion soul that originally guarded the stone lion may have long been missing. Gu Zhihan explained to me.

I nodded as if I didn't understand.

I remember hearing about what the Xuanji Lion Gate was, but I really forgot where I heard it...... Maybe it's a little story my grandfather once told me, or maybe it's from other people in the village when I was a child.

This Xuanji Lion Gate can only be opened by chance at a special time, and the spirit of the stone lion of the town's house will generally live inside...... But since our stone lion has been demonized, then what lives in it must not be the stone lion of the town's house, what kind of ghost is it, we really have to go in to find out.

Gu Zhihan explained to me that for the question I just asked, the method would not work for this Xuanji Lion Gate at all. It can be said to be a self-contained barrier, and no matter what kind of spell you use outside of this Xuanji Lion Gate, it will have no effect on it.

However, when you use the spell, it is even very likely to be counterproductive, and the result that awaits us at that time may be described as "cocooning and self-restraint".

After listening to Gu Zhihan's patient narration, I finally understood what was going on.

But I think it's very weird in this Xuanji Lion Gate. We don't know anything about the situation on the other side now, so will we encounter any danger when we go inside? What if something happens?

"Senior brother, do we really want to go in? But...... In case ...... "When it came time to actually face the moment, I was a little hesitant......

I don't know where the courage just now went.

"Don't you want to save grandma? Maybe the current grandmother is slowly being bewitched by him...... If this evil force continues to grow stronger, he will eventually devour his grandmother's soul. "I believe that Gu Zhihan is definitely not deceiving me now......

When I thought of my grandmother, the courage in me reappeared.

"For Grandma's sake, I must go in." I said it categorically.

"Yaoyao, don't worry, with me, I won't let you get hurt." Gu Zhihan seemed to be comforting me, and with his words, it more or less quieted my restless heart a lot.

When the moonlight continued to shine on the stone lion, with the stone lion's green eyes, the green light became brighter and brighter, and finally under the circle of light, an illusory door made of an aperture appeared.

Could it be that this is the legendary Xuanji Lion Gate? This is the first time I've seen it in its truest form, it doesn't look scary, and it looks a little romantic.

"Senior sister, this beam is not over yet, we have to hurry in...... Otherwise, once the beam is over, we can't get in even if we want to, and there is only one day a year, so it's a coincidence that our day is in a hurry. When Gu Zhihan spoke, he had already taken a big step, and he was about to step into that green circle of light.

I hesitated for a moment, and then Gu Zhihan stretched out his hand to me, and then I put my hand on his big hand.

Maybe it's because of winter, Gu Zhihan's hands are a little cold......

The moment I entered, the aperture disappeared without a trace, and I found myself in another strange world...... Everything here is so bizarre to me.

There was a glittering and shiny atmosphere everywhere, and I would have thought that this place would be filled with an eerie atmosphere, but the moment I came in, I realized that everything here was completely different from everything I had imagined.

It was furnished like a royal palace, and in front of us was a chair made of gold, but there was no one on it...... Where is that evil spirit?

The uneasiness in my heart had completely vanished, and my eyes were once again drawn to the golden chair. So, I slowly approached, closer, who knows......
