Chapter 681: Visit the Forbidden City!
The Forbidden City, the royal palace of the Ming and Qing dynasties, formerly known as the Forbidden City, began to be built in the fourth year of Yongle in the Ming Dynasty and was completed in the eighteenth year of Yongle.
It is one of the world's largest and most well-preserved wooden structure ancient buildings, and is known as the first of the world's five major palaces.
Similarly, the Forbidden City is naturally one of the must-visit attractions when visiting Yanjing.
The four of them met Xu Xiaoxiao in front of the noon gate.
I saw Xu Xiaoxiao wearing a simple white shirt, a pair of hot pants on the lower body, revealing two long legs, coconut shoes on his feet, and a small panda backpack, the whole person showed a youthful and lovely atmosphere.
After seeing the four of Yu Shu from a distance, Xu Xiaoxiao suddenly became excited, and trotted all the way with a red face while waving his hand.
Xu Zhishui glanced at Yu Shu and teased: "Oh, your little fan sister is here." ”
"Hmph. ”
Yu Shu replied noncommittally, and after a night, no matter how low his EQ was, he finally reacted a little, and at this time he cautiously glanced at Xu Xiyan.
I saw Xu Xiyan with a faint smile on his face, and there didn't seem to be anything abnormal, so he breathed a sigh of relief as if he was a thief.
"Don't worry. ”
Wang Xiaoling looked at Yu Shu with some amusement, and said softly: "Xiaoxiao just treats you as an idolatry, and has no other meaning, so Xiyan won't mind." And this little girl is simple and cute, and we all like her. ”
As he was talking, Xu Xiaoxiao had already trotted in front of the four of them, squinted his eyes with a smile, and greeted them one by one obediently: "Brother Yu Shu, Sister Xiyan, Sister Xiaoling, Brother Zhishui." ”
"Well, little is so cute. ”
Xu Zhishui leaned over with a smile, raised his hand and wanted to rub Xu Xiaoxiao's hair, but was slapped away by Wang Xiaoling.
"What a murderous ......"
Xu Zhishui looked at his red and swollen palm, his face full of residual thoughts.
"Let's go. ”
Xu Xiyan took the initiative to hold Xu Xiaoxiao's hand and laughed softly: "I'm going to trouble you to be a tour guide today." ”
"Uh-huh, let's say okay. ”
Xu Xiaoxiao nodded excitedly, raised her hand and patted her spectacular ...... cough cough, full of confidence said: "Don't worry, I will be a very competent tour guide." ”
The four of them walked into the noon gate together and began to visit the Forbidden City under the leadership of Xu Xiaoxiao.
The Forbidden City is a rectangular city, with three major halls as the center, 961 meters long from north to south, 753 meters wide from east to west, surrounded by a city wall of 10 meters high on all sides, covering an area of 720,000 square meters, there are more than 70 large and small palaces, more than 9,000 houses, red walls and golden tiles, showing the royal style in ancient times.
Xu Xiaoxiao was doing his best to explain to the four of Yu Shu as he walked: "The Forbidden City is divided into two parts: the outer court and the inner court. The center of the outer court is the Taihe Palace, the Zhonghe Palace, and the Baohe Palace, collectively referred to as the three major halls, which are the places where the state holds major ceremonies, and the center of the inner court is the Qianqing Palace, the Jiaotai Palace, and the Kunning Palace, collectively referred to as the three palaces, which are the main palaces where the emperor and the queen live. ”
"Wow, you're amazing, tiny. ”
Wang Xiaoling looked at her with some amazement, and said, "I even remember these, it's a certain encyclopedia of walking." ”
"Hee-hee. ”
Xu Xiaoxiao smiled embarrassedly, blushed and said: "When I was a child, I seemed bored and had nothing to do, so I liked to read all kinds of miscellaneous books, and if I read too much, I remembered it." ”
There are many tourists in the Forbidden City, and the five of them wander around the world's largest palace at will, feeling the greatness of the Chinese nation since ancient times.
Unconsciously, the time was close to noon, and the five of them just looked at the tour to Taihemen.
The five of them sat on the bench to rest, only to see Xu Xiaoxiao take a sip of water, and then said to the four of them: "Speaking of which, there are still some haunted rumors in the Forbidden City, I don't know if you have heard of it?"
"Rumors of a haunting?"
Xu Zhishui suddenly became interested, and hurriedly asked, "Tell me quickly, what's going on?"
"There are a lot of them, and they are all over the place. ”
Xu Xiaoxiao thought for a while, and then said softly: "But the most famous of them is that the so-called Forbidden City must close its doors at five o'clock in the afternoon every day to drive away tourists, because after five o'clock, there will be many supernatural scenes here, for example, there are people who patrol at night and once saw a team of palace maids walking slowly with palace lamps in the Qianqing Palace, as well as the strange sounds that occasionally appear in the clock tower, as well as all kinds of strange things that have appeared in the Chuxiu Palace, all kinds, which are collectively known as the top ten supernatural events in the Forbidden City." ”
After a pause, Xu Xiaoxiao continued: "There are many other sayings, such as playing in the Forbidden City, you must not go back, you must leave at five o'clock in the afternoon, and you must not break into those areas that are not open, etc., otherwise, you will definitely encounter very terrible things." ”
"Is it so evil?"
Xu Zhishui couldn't help but smack his tongue, and then asked, "Then are those supernatural events real or fake?"
"Hee-hee, in fact, most of them are fake. ”
Xu Xiaoxiao said with a smile: "Some are misunderstandings caused by natural phenomena, and some are completely made up. ”
"Oh. ”
Xu Zhishui nodded, then was suddenly stunned and asked, "Most of them are fake...... In other words, there are real ones, right?"
"Yes. ”
Xu Xiaoxiao nodded and said honestly: "How could it not be." ”
"But...... I've walked all this way, and I haven't noticed the slightest ghost aura or anomaly?"
Wang Xiaoling looked at Xu Xiaoxiao a little strangely, "Even if I don't have strong spiritual sense, if there is really a ghost, I can't not detect it at all, right?"
"Because there are so many tourists now, the yang energy is too strong, and they are tied up here, and they usually only come out at night. ”
Xu Xiaoxiao smiled and said, "Sister Xiaoling, if you really want to see it, wait until five o'clock and you hide secretly and don't go out, and then you should be able to see it......"
"Ahem. ”
Wang Xiaoling coughed dryly twice, and then waved his hand to show that he was not so interested.
"Don't talk about that. ”
Yu Shu suddenly opened his mouth and said softly: "The soul here is bound here, and it is not free and peaceful, which is actually quite pitiful. It's best not to disturb them if you don't have to. ”
"Uh-huh. ”
Xu Xiaoxiao nodded again and again when she heard this, her eyes brightened: "My father said the same thing." ”
"Huh. ”
Yu Shu smiled, and then asked, "Let's go, tour guide, where are we going to go in the future?"
"Hmm......"
Xu Xiaoxiao tilted her head and thought for a while, and then said, "Let's go to lunch first, then rest for a while, how about going to the museum and the Summer Palace in the afternoon?"
"Good!"
Xu Zhishui responded positively: "Let's go, I feel like my stomach is about to be hungry!"
