After the pattern on the door lit up, Ahao could smell it, and the alluring smell emanating from behind the door became more and more obvious and rich.

As a creaking sound came, the door began to gradually open towards Ah Hao.

It’s done! Ah Hao’s heartbeat was beating fast, and the fragrance coming from behind the door made his breathing become greedy.

After a gap visible to the naked eye appeared, the door opened faster and faster.

Until finally, the door seemed to have been pushed from the inside.

The entire door suddenly opened wide, and endless light slanted out.

Along with it came a strong wind, a wind composed of smells.

Ahao opened his arms to welcome the smell storm, and his clothes were blown violently.

The strong smell in the wind almost made it hard for him to breathe.

In this storm of scent with extremely rich connotations, Ahao suddenly began to think like a philosopher.

He realized that human olfactory memory is actually stronger than other sense memories.

It's just that human language is too crude, too crude to describe even one ten thousandth of the smell he smelled.

But humans, or most animals, have the ability to associate smells with memories.

The sweet smell reminds people of candy, chocolate and honey.

The rich smell of earth and grass reminds people of the summer before the rainstorm.

Smelling the scent of someone close to you will remind you of all the moments in your life with that person.

After all, it is smell that connects memories.

Or is it that memory is inherently contained in smell?

What would happen if the subtlest, oldest and most amazing smell in the world, and all the memories it carries, were sealed in a door?

Ahao is experiencing all this now.

What came out of the door seemed to be all the beautiful smells that had ever appeared in the world.

These smells carry information, knowledge or memories and happily rush out of the door, as if cheering for the long-lost freedom.

Ahao closed his eyes and concentrated on feeling with his nose and remembering with his sense of smell.

With every breath he took, a huge amount of mysterious scent was inhaled into his body.

He felt that he had learned a lot.

But after a short period of enjoyment,

What followed was a painful feeling like drowning.

There were simply too many smells and memories! Too much for him to bear!

People can cover their eyes not to see, people can cover their ears not to listen, people can close their mouths not to speak, but they cannot stop breathing, so people can never escape the invasion of smell!

If a person stays in a place with a strong smell for a long time, his sense of smell may gradually become numb and he will gradually be unable to smell the smell.

But Ah Hao couldn't. The smell coming out of the door was varied and rich, and it continued to wash away the upper limit of his sense of smell.

He felt that he had to grasp the key points quickly.

[Divide earth into fire, extract essence from roughness!]

This sentence suddenly appeared in his mind. He tried hard to capture the information and knowledge related to this sentence from the violent wind.

He felt it!

Following his will, some of the smell seemed to come alive, actively lingering around him.

He seemed to smell metal, fire and potion.

The knowledge of separation, purification, and sublimation settled in his heart.

But then he felt a strong sense of dizziness, and his brain was protesting to him!

No, he has to close the door!

Using his hands to resist the storm of smell, he walked step by step to the side of the door.

"Lock it up! Lock it up for me!"

He shouted through gritted teeth, used his arms to push hard against the heavy door.

Fortunately, this door cannot be pushed open, but it can be closed.

And after one door is pushed, the other door also moves.

With Ah Hao's hard push, the door slowly and reluctantly closed.

In the end, only the faint fragrance can be emitted from the crack in the door.

After a while.

Ah Hao supported his knees with his hands, leaned over and breathed air through his mouth, like a thin student who had run for several kilometers.

Ah Hao felt like he was soaked in smoke, tears and runny nose could not stop pouring out, and he kept wiping his face with his clothes.

This door smells too strong!

Fortunately, most of the smells in this door are beautiful and have rich connotations.

If the smell in Fanmen were any worse, he would have vomited it now.

After a while, he felt better.

My head is still a little buzzing.

He benefited greatly from this storm of smells that seemed to contain endless knowledge and truth!

"Did you succeed? Looking at you now, it looks like you succeeded?" Grandma and Mrs. Northen came over with concern, but her tone was full of doubts.

"Well, it worked." Ah Hao kept breathing heavily as he spoke.

"How did you push the door open? What did you see in the door?" Mrs. Northam suddenly asked urgently, but then made a prohibitive gesture.

"Wait, you should take a rest first." Mrs. Northam took the candle from Ahao's hand and handed it to the accompanying grandma along with the key.

Grandma silently turned around and left. From the beginning to the end, Ah Hao never heard a word from her.

Ah Hao and Mrs. Northam found a bench and sat down.

"Okay, now you can tell me. A door that cannot be pushed open, but there is a key to open it. I am looking forward to your story."

Ahao cleared his throat, "The key to the door is a, uh, password. After I said the password, the door opened by itself."

"Password?" Mrs. Northam narrowed her eyes in confusion. "You mean, open sesame?"

"Haha, no ma'am, it's a puzzle. After I went back that day, I suddenly recalled that there was a puzzle on the door. After I solved the puzzle and read out the answer, I understood."

"It must be the words you said before. I'm old and didn't hear them clearly. Can you repeat them to me?"

Ahao was silent. After receiving the baptism of the door, he suddenly realized that there were endless secrets in those eight words, and he didn't want to say them.

The atmosphere gradually became awkward.

Ah Hao felt a bit embarrassed. On one side was Wen De's grandma, who had helped him a lot, and on the other side was the secret he wanted to keep.

"It's okay. You don't have to tell me if you don't want to. Young people don't have a little secret." Mrs. Northam was the first to break the deadlock.

Ahao smiled gratefully at her.

"As you know, Wen De never opened his door. I just hope that I can find more ways from you to prevent this kind of thing from happening in our family." Mrs. Northam sighed.

"Grandma Northen, I can tell you everything else. After I pushed the door open, I discovered that the patterns on the door formed half a sentence. I solved the puzzle based on this half sentence."

"What about the pattern on the door?" Mrs. Northam seemed thoughtful.

Ahao continued: "As for opening the door, a strong smell hit my face. You must have smelled it too, right?"
