The mountain ghost blows out the lights

Shen Lianxing walked through an open door.

There were two gatekeepers standing on both sides of the gate, all wearing masks, staring straight ahead, even though the young master they hadn't seen for a long time just passed by them, they didn't give him a look.

There is a small plaque hanging in front of the door, with gold characters on a black background, and the word "Zhuyue" written on it. The pen is sharp, but not aggressive, so it won't give people an abrupt and uncomfortable feeling.

The Moon Chasing Gate is a symbol of the Shen family's main family, and it has existed since the Shen family's first rise.It is rumored that it was also designed by the ancestor of their Shen family, just like the Zhaixing Building.However, there is no mechanism on the Moon-by-Moon Gate, it just serves as an ordinary decoration.The patriarch has excellent aesthetics, so many years have passed, this door can still allow visitors to stop and stay.

It adopts a beam frame structure as a whole, and birds and flowers are carved for it, and the roof is supported on it. The place that should be a tile is made of special materials. After many years of wind and sun, other buildings are broken and repaired, and they have been renovated countless times. Only the Moon-by-Moon Gate is still as bright as new, with a metallic luster.

From a distance, it looks like it is covered with a layer of scales, shining brightly under the sunlight.

The long roof ridge is also carved into colorful clouds that follow the moon. There is no roof beast in the cloud, and it supports a last quarter moon. Perhaps this is the origin of the name "Zhuyue".

I don't know how this moon is made, whether it is round or not, whether it is curved or not, it can be made into a full moon or a slimmer Emei moon, but I don't know why I chose this shape to put it on for people to observe.

Shen Lianxing had already walked a certain distance, and looked back at this time, the two gatekeepers still maintained their original posture and did not move. They were not hired gatekeepers from outside, they were the Shen family themselves.

The Shen family is very confident in their own abilities. The first three hills are an institution that only their own family knows how to operate, and there are no living guards.No matter who it is, no matter whether there is someone leading it or not, as long as they can go to the first three hills in the family's house, they will be recognized by the Shen family, and they can step into the Yueyue Gate openly and aboveboard.

Anyone who can come in is a guest.

Strictly speaking, this door is the real door of the Shen family.

Shen Lianxing hasn't been back for a long time. He doesn't like the atmosphere of the main house. When he is capable, he often runs out. He would rather hang out outside than come here to have a look.

If Shen Yuansi hadn't been in this 'home', Shen Lianxing would not have come back.

He had changed into a different outfit, and it was no longer the one where convenience was the first priority.Her hair was loose, and she was wearing a chic and handsome black dress. The material was good and there was no decoration, and the dark lines on the hem faintly showed when she was walking.

This dress looks ordinary and unremarkable at first glance, but there is another mystery on the sleeves. There are two drawstrings on the inside and outside. The sleeves can be rolled up and tied with drawstrings so that they won't be too long. The sleeves interfere with the movement of the hands.

And the design is ingenious, there are many hidden pockets in invisible places, all in easy-to-access positions, which are used to store tools and parts.

This is the unique attire of the Shen family. Wearing it on Shen Lianxing's body makes him even more handsome, coupled with his outstanding temperament, he also looks like a son of a noble family.

It was Shen Lianxing who was used to dressing lightly and simply, and disliked the cumbersomeness of the sleeves. Although there was nothing important, he rolled up the sleeves, revealing a little smooth forearm and slender fingers.

...and the prosthetic on the other side.

Those people hide from him when they see him now, especially when they see his prosthetic limb, the expressions on their faces are mixed with fear and regret, as well as the jealousy that they have to hide, which is very funny.

He just wants to show it to them, to let them know that it is impossible to destroy him with such shady and dirty methods.

Although the main house is not far from Yanjing City, it can be regarded as one of the four major families in Yanjing City, but the location is chosen to be remote, almost half of which are built in the mountains. If it is not a special visit, few people will go here .

In addition, the members of the family are actually only in charge of the affairs of the family, as well as practicing mechanical skills and striving for further improvement of existing products, and will not personally intervene in all business dealings, so this place is different from other big families, with a kind of detachment Quiet outside the mundane.

This is the core area that many Shen family members dream of entering, and the mysterious treasure land in the hearts of many craftsmen, but Shen Lianxing is not included among these people.

Although Shen Lianxing grew up in his family, he really has a bad impression of this old house.

The people here are not related to each other, and he has to learn the knowledge that is a bit too early for a child under the strict guidance of Shen Yuansi. I fully understand the owner's approach.

In Shen Lianxing's memory, this place represented either boring and lengthy study, or inexplicable hostility from relatives.Although it wasn't obvious under Shen Yuansi's protection at the time, the child's intuition in terms of emotions was more sensitive, and Shen Lianxing still remembered those subtle precautions and rejections.

What's more, after that incident 15 years ago, they were even more undisguised.

...In such an environment, it is no exaggeration to say that Yan Jinping was the first bright color in his childhood that escaped from the dull picture frame.

The boss is much more important than he imagined.

Shen Lianxing smiled slightly when he thought of Yan Jinping's depressed and puzzled expression at that time.

In fact, after Shen Lianxing grew up, he got the Ming Ghost Fan. He was sensible and early, and coupled with his outstanding talent, it became very difficult to harm him. Shen Lianxing's grudge was not worth the candle, so no one had done anything to him for a long time.

In Shen Lianxing's youth, apart from studying hard, he basically had a good life.

But as Shen Yuansi gradually aged, the small movements that had disappeared for a long time reappeared.This time, it was different from the small fights in the past when they used the name of beheading the mountain god to bully the children. Assassinations, traps, and plots against him were intertwined. It was obvious that Shen Lianxing was determined to die with all his strength.

—Even if you can’t lose your life, even if you just lose your qualifications as an heir.

With this belief in mind, his relatives took away one of Shen Yuansi's arms on the day when Shen Yuansi really lost control, when Shen Lianxing was busy presiding over the situation and had no time to care too much.

The killer was probably hired from outside, and his movement skills were very strange. Not only did he pass through the three gates at the door without a sound, but after the assassination failed, he was able to get hurt by Shen Lianxing and cut off his left hand.Then he retreated completely without leaving any traces of his identity. Therefore, Shen Lianxing has not yet found out who sent the killer.

But even if they didn't find out, Shen Lianxing basically knew the few who wanted his life the most.

Although the Shen family is a big family, in fact there are not many people in this family - the main reason is that the Shen family is different from other families, they don't judge winners and losers based on blood relationship, and there are not many people who can afford to enter the family, so the house is relatively small. quiet.

Shen Lianxing was walking on the road, and occasionally met one or two acquaintances, and they avoided him when they saw him. Those with children grabbed the children and couldn't avoid them. They said hello to Shen Lianxing very bluntly. Still vigilant.

It was as if he was the stranger who had broken into the house and needed to be dammed.

The courtyard is deep, and many green bamboos are planted, which grow together like a natural curtain.After Shen Lianxing walked a few steps, he could block those hostile sights.

Shen Lianxing walked through the courtyard as usual and came to a small building deep in the bamboo forest.

The small building is not too high. From a distance, there is a person standing at the door. It should be the gatekeeper. He is dressed in festive clothes, wearing red and green, so it is very lively. It does not match the quiet environment of this place.

It's just that this person's appearance doesn't seem to be very particular, his hair volume is thin, his eyes seem to be set back, and protrude outwards, and there is a small bright red cherry mouth on his smooth and steady face, but the mouth is delicate, and there are two branches. There are miserable white dies, one facing in and the other facing out, no one is next to anyone.

At first glance, he looked like a paper man made by the new apprentice from the incense candle shop. The apprentice was beaten by the master with a rattan cane in the backyard because of his lack of skills.Only this paper man was left leaning against the door frame in a horrible way, scaring everyone who passed by.

It wasn't until I got a closer look that I realized that it was no wonder that this man had a hideous appearance, because he was indeed not a living person.Its skeleton is made of extremely delicate metal parts, the joints are connected to each other, hidden in the clothes, and it is difficult to see clearly when viewed from a distance, which is why it gives people this illusion.

Only this guy's head was crudely cut into a wooden ball and put on it. The hair is hemp rope, the eyes are peanuts, the mouth is painted with paint, and there is no nose at all. It's really a ghost if it looks good. .

I don't know who put such a head on him, it's really aesthetically worrisome.

Shen Lianxing stood on a stone slab in front of the wooden man, and admired the wooden man's beautiful face up close for a while, and then his action touched a certain mechanism.

The wooden man silently stretched out a hand to Shen Lianxing - the arm was not even a human hand, but a plate with a groove in it, which looked like it was used to put a token or something.

Shen Lianxing took out a sign from his pocket, stuck it tightly in the middle of the groove, and pressed down on the sign with a little force, and heard a slight 'click' from nowhere, like some machine spring When it was opened, the sign popped out of the groove by itself and landed on the plate.

The dummy could not speak. After recognizing Shen Lianxing's identity, he bowed silently to him, stepped back a little to the side, and pulled a rope hanging beside his head.

After he pulled the rope, the small building creaked and ran for a while. Although the sound was not loud, it was loud, coming from every corner, as if the whole building 'lived' and was stretching its muscles and bones. of.

After waiting for a while, the sound of running stopped, and the wooden door of the small building made a faint 'creak' sound, put away its sharp and dangerous mechanism trap, and opened the door to welcome its other owner.
