There s Something Wrong With This Account

Chapter 444: 444, [Struggle of Priority] (Thanks to Alliance Hierarch “Ai Ai” for yet another 100,000 reward!)
The gentleman didn’t look at Lu Xun’s face, but he could guess that it should be filled with surprise now.

Logically speaking, with the gentleman’s power, is there a place in the world he can’t go?

What exactly is at the top of the mountain that can stop the gentleman?

“If even the gentleman can’t come and go freely, wouldn’t it be a very dangerous place?” Lu Xun wondered to himself.

The gentleman turned around and waved his hand lightly, saying, “Little Five, you don’t need to think too much, it’s not as complicated as you think.”

He continued, “There is a door at the top of the mountain that connects the entire courtyard. I could force my way through this door, break it with a wave of my sleeve, but once the door is destroyed, the entire courtyard will also be destroyed. Therefore, there is no point for me to go in.”

Hearing this, Lu Xun let out a sigh of relief, which made him feel a bit more at ease: “So I was thinking in the wrong direction.”

At the same time, he couldn’t help but be a bit curious.

What does the door on the mountain look like? Even the gentleman can only force his way through and can’t open it in any other way.

“The three of you go up the mountain, and I will wait here.” The gentleman instructed.

“Yes,” Lu Xun replied, then led Ji Li and Lin Chan towards the top of the mountain.

The mountain is not especially high, but it is not low either, its altitude is probably around one thousand meters.

The three of them walked not fast, nor did they choose to fly.

Lu Xun tried, and found that it was forbidden to fly here. He guessed there must be some formation at work in the mountain, which had turned this place into a no-fly zone.

“Let’s walk slowly, consider it like taking a leisurely walk with two beauties.” Lu Xun thought to himself.

Along the way, he, Ji Li, and Lin Chan all took in the scenery, and when they passed a fruit tree, Lu Xun used a “Detection” spell to ensure there was no problem before picking three bright red fruits.

The fruit looked a bit like an apple, but it was rounder than an apple.

Even though it was fruit, it had a crystal-like feel to it.

Somehow, it looked very juicy.

Being juicy is a good thing, such fruit is liked by men.

Lu Xun took the lead and took a bite, praising, “The juice is good.”

This fruit is not a very sweet kind of fruit, but upon entering the mouth, there is a refreshing sensation. After swallowing, a sense of coolness flows through the body’s limbs, which is very comfortable.

Obviously, this fruit, like the one on the back mountain, is a Spirit Fruit, not an ordinary one.

The three of them walked and ate like this, and finally, they were nearly at the top.

Lu Xun stood there, and he could already see the door that the gentleman had mentioned.

This door is just an ordinary wooden door, it does not look grandiose, instead, it has a very simple feel.

The wood doesn’t seem to be any precious wood, it’s probably just some ordinary wooden boards.

In front of the door are two one-meter-high stone pillars, on which stand two palm-sized statues.

At first, Lu Xun thought they were miniature stone lions, but after careful observation, he realized they were Pixiu.

Ji Li and Lin Chan looked at the Pixiu from a distance and seemed not to recognize it.

Lu Xun laughed and said, “This is a Pixiu, also known as Bixie, Tianlu, Baijie. It is a kind of auspicious beast.”

Hearing this, Ji Li looked at Lu Xun and said, “Lu Xun, you know a lot.”

A little brown-noser, not missing any chance to flatter Lu Xun.

Lin Chan stood on her tiptoes and looked at the miniature auspicious beast on the mountain. She thought the design looked quite cute.

Lu Xun glanced at Ji Li, he was not trying to show off any knowledge in front of the girls, he just wanted to give them some knowledge.

He stood proudly between the two girls, his left hand behind him and his right hand pointing to the Pixiu on top of the mountain, saying, “The so-called Pixiu has the shape of a tiger or leopard, but its head and tail resemble a dragon. It swallows everything and never excretes, hence it is associated with attracting wealth and good fortune, having only inflow and no outflow.”

“Ah? It swallows everything and never excretes, doesn’t that mean it doesn’t have that…that…” Ji Li said with a slight blush on her face, she really couldn’t say the organ.

Hearing this, Lu Xun coughed slightly, and didn’t want to continue this topic with the two girls.

He pointed at the Pixiu again, saying, “You see, Pixiu is divided into one-horned and two-horned. The one-horned Pixiu is called Tianlu, which is related to wealth, and the two-horned Pixiu is called Bixie. The one on top of the mountain is a two-horned Pixiu, symbolizing guarding the house.”

Lu Xun had a good understanding of Pixiu, in his previous life, he was even fooled by a friend into buying a jade Pixiu, only to find out later that it was fake jade.

“Let’s go, let’s go up and have a look,” Lu Xun said to the two girls, and then took the lead and walked up.

Upon arriving at the door and the two Pixiu statues, Lu Xun halted his steps.

There is a wooden plaque on the door, it was originally blank, but when someone got close, characters began to emerge on it.

Three big ink colored characters appeared on the wooden plaque, causing the three of them to be taken aback.

It wasn’t that this mystical sight had dumbfounded them, Lu Xun and the others were not so inexperienced. The main thing was that the three characters on the wooden plaque were really thought-provoking.

The wooden plaque read – “Great Study Hall”!

Lu Xun twitched at the corner of his mouth, feeling that this name seemed to be in rivalry with our Small Study on the back mountain!

“We are called Small Study, and you are called Great Study Hall. What’s the meaning of this?”

He stepped back two steps, took a look at the small yard at the entrance, which indeed had a larger area than Small Study, but only slightly larger.

“It seems that the host here has a deep relationship with the master,” Lu Xun thought to himself.

By observing the way they named, he already had a guess.

The three of them stood there, just to see the two little Pixius emitting a burst of golden light, then two large characters emerged above the heads of the Pixius.

One was ‘Call’, and one was ‘Him’.

“What does ‘Call Him’ mean? Calling his name?” Lu Xun was somewhat confused.

Luckily he retained a good habit from his player days — when in doubt, toss out a ‘Detection’!

He threw out a ‘Detection’ without knowing if he could get detailed information.

The system quickly gave feedback, popping up a lot of information.

With his current authority, he couldn’t look up specific information related to these two little Pixius and this wooden door.

But for the word ‘Call Him’, there was an explanation in the pop-up tip.

Lu Xun carefully looked it over, then muttered in his mind: “It seems high-grade, but is it just a voice control password?”

Yes, it just wants everyone to input a voice controlled password. If the answer is correct, the door will open and you can enter.

So the question is, what’s the password?

Lu Xun turned his head to look in the direction of mid-mountain, wondering if he should shout from a distance, asking the master, what the password was.

But he didn’t do it in the end.

The master was still on the mountain, naturally paying attention to their every move.

If he did not speak, then either he did not want to say, or… he did not know.

“Perhaps… This is also a test?” Lu Xun thought to himself.

“‘Call Him’, ‘Call Him’… that should mean calling the master of this courtyard. So, the voice control password should be this person’s name, or his title,” Lu Xun analyzed in his heart.

Or perhaps, it’s not necessarily a fixed password.

Assuming these two little Pixius are sentient, then they can be considered as gatekeepers or security guards of a luxury mansion.

When everyone goes to someone else’s house to play, they call someone to open the door from outside. As long as their identity is acknowledged, the door can be opened.

“The key should be the recognition of identity,” Lu Xun guessed.

After seeing the characters “Great Study”, he could basically confirm that the owner of this courtyard should be the master’s younger brother.

After all, it seemed that the two brothers loved to compete. It had been said countless times that the two brothers were twins, but they didn’t know who was born first, so they both wanted to be the older brother.

It was for this reason that the master loved the title “master”.

From this, it can be inferred that the brothers must have been competing with each other from time to time. This relationship is somewhat like that of One Sword Mountain and Ten Thousand Sword Mountain.

“Perhaps, after the master named his house Small Study, the uncle knew about it and changed his house name to Great Study Hall,” Lu Xun thought.

The most direct relationship between him and the owner of the house was that of an uncle and nephew.

“In other words, if my identity as a nephew is recognized, the door might open?” Lu Xun decided to give it a try.

He stood outside the door, straightened his black robe, then lightly coughed, put on a respectful posture of a younger generation visiting the elder’s house, bowed with courtesy, and said:

“Nephew Lu Xun, here to visit uncle!”

The two little Pixius remained the same, without any changes, and the door did not open because of this.

Lu Xun frowned slightly, wondering: “Could it be that I was wrong?”

But thinking about it carefully, he didn’t think there was anything wrong with his reasoning.

“Could it be that I really need to say the host’s name?” he thought to himself. “Then I can only ask the master. Otherwise, how could I guess this!”

At this time, he suddenly remembered that the master said he couldn’t enter this house.

This gave him an inspiration!

“I get it! I get it!”

A lightbulb went off in his mind, and then he bent over to bow, tentatively speaking again:

“Nephew Lu Xun, here to visit my granduncle!”

In an instant, the two little Pixius glowed brilliantly, and the jade light circulated!

——The door opened.
