Chapter 185: Void Jade Palace

Zhao Qingyu and the others passed through the train bridge cave, and at the other end of the hole, the vendors outside the gate of the Xuyu Palace were still there.

The man in blue was there, with a thin, curved machete in his hand, peeling the cane cane while his gloomy gaze swept over the passers-by.

As soon as Wang Lei saw him, he recalled yesterday's events and lowered his head a little nervously.

However, the man still recognized him, and at the same time recognized Zhao Qingyu, his eyes suddenly became darker and darker, and he stared at her tightly.

Zhao Qingyu naturally noticed the maggot gaze like a tarsal bone, she pretended not to see it, and talked and laughed with Wang Yanli and Zhang Yan.

It wasn't until I bought a ticket to enter the Void Jade Palace that the uncomfortable feeling disappeared completely.

She exhaled softly, showed the ticket to the ticket inspector inside, and walked in first.

Void Jade Palace.

Built hundreds of years ago, it has not been renovated at this time, and the special ancient building totem is dilapidated, the roof has collapsed a lot, and it is still overgrown with wild grass.

It's the giant tortoise inside, as majestic and mysterious as ever.

The words on the stone tablet, after the baptism of years of wind and frost, have been a little unclear.

A few girls chattered up to the giant turtle and looked up.

"It would be nice to have a camera." ZHANG YAN SAID REGRETFULLY AFTER PUTTING A FEW POSES NEXT TO HER.

"There seems to be a place in the ticket hall where you can rent cameras." Zhao Qingyu reminded that she had seen someone rent it before.

"Then you don't need it, it's definitely not cheap, let's rent it when we graduate."

"Okay, okay, when the time comes, everyone will divide the money equally." Wang Yanli clapped her hands in approval, smiling.

Zhao Qingyu looked at their youthful smiling faces, and unconsciously curled the corners of his mouth.

Suddenly, out of the corner of her eye, she swept to the outside, and there were two very familiar figures under the bridge hole.

looked over and found that it was indeed the two I met downstairs in the Internet cafΓ© just now, Zhang Xue and Yu Yuanyuan.

"What are the two of them doing here, the ghost will not go away."

Zhang Yan also saw them, and the smile on her face collapsed instantly.

Wang Yanli looked at the two of them along the line of sight: "Huh? They're here too, what a coincidence. ”

Zhang Yan pouted: "What's the coincidence, it's bad luck." ”

Wang Yanli looked inexplicable, thinking about what was going on with this Zhang Yan, every time she said something, she had to say a few words.

The more she thought about it, the more depressed she became, so she simply walked down the stone steps without saying a word, and walked alone to the giant turtle opposite.

"What's wrong with her? Inexplicable. Zhang Yan saw Wang Yanli's angry back and wrinkled her face.

"I'll go take a look."

Zhao Qingyu shook his head and chased after him.

Wang Yanli walked very fast, there was a hundred meters between the two giant turtles, Zhao Qingyu trotted all the way over, and when she caught up with her, she had already reached the side of another giant turtle.

"What's wrong with you? Angry again? Zhao Qingyu went over and held her hand.

"Nope."

"It's too fake...... Your face is full of displeasure. ”

Wang Yanli stopped a little aggrieved: "It's not her yet, it's against me every time." ”

Zhao Qingyu sighed: "Do you mean Zhang Yan?" ”

"It's not that she can have anyone."

"If it's because of those words, then you've misunderstood her."

Zhao Qingyu told Wang Yanli about the contradiction between Zhang Yan and Yu Yuanyuan, but as for the contradiction, she didn't make it clear.

Wang Yanli was a little surprised at first, and then said a little gloatingly: "Hmph, it's not strange that her personality offends people at all." ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Zhao Qingyu didn't know how to explain to her the matter between Zhang Yan and Yu Yuanyuan, but in short, in her opinion, even if Zhang Yan inadvertently hurt Yu Yuanyuan, Yu Yuanyuan's behavior was really despicable and insidious.

However, Wang Yanli just said that after knowing that Zhang Yan was not targeting herself, the depression in her heart was reduced by half.

Soon, Zhang Yan and Wang Lei walked over to this side together.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to say you." Zhang Yan leaned on the white old stone fence and said casually.

Wang Yanli stood on the top of the stone steps, lowered her eyes and glanced at her condescendingly, and then said lightly: "I'm not angry with you......"

Zhao Qingyu laughed: "Okay, everyone is friends, don't be angry about these unnecessary little things, let's go, don't waste the tickets we bought." ”

A few people, you look at me, I look at you, they all laughed in unison, and then walked down the stone steps together and walked towards the inner wall of the Void Jade Palace.

The outermost Void Jade Palace, you can come in for free to walk and play on holidays, but the real Void Jade Palace, which is still inside, requires a ticket.

The first gate is three round doors side by side, two small doors next to it, and a large wooden door five meters wide in the middle.

The vermilion door panel faded considerably, revealing the mottled yellowed wood inside, and in the middle of the door were two large bronze knockers carved with patterns.

Walking up the stone steps of different sizes, a female Taoist priest wearing a dark blue Taoist robe walked over, checked the tickets of several people, and opened the door to let them go.

Crossing the high threshold and walking through the short doorway, the eyes were cheerful.

Underneath the stone steps, there is a large meadow, and at intervals, there is a welcoming pine with a quaint posture.

In the sparse pine forest, there is still a boxy worship platform, and inside is the same giant stone turtle as outside.

Walking down the stone steps, a three- or four-meter-wide bluestone paved path stretches into the distance, where there are high stone steps and quaint red inner walls.

In addition to them, there are also a few tall white-skinned foreigners visiting and taking pictures here, which attracted several young men and women to look at it in amazement.

"Wow, a real foreigner." Zhang Yan excitedly pointed at the foreigners and shouted in a low voice.

Although Wang Yanli was also watching, when she heard Zhang Yan's words, she couldn't help but pout secretly, it was not unusual to see foreigners in W Town.

As long as you often go to scenic spots, ancient buildings or martial arts halls, you can see many foreigners.

As a result, several young people didn't look at the surrounding scenery at all, and just kept looking at the foreigners, wanting to see what they were shooting.

Zhang Yan was very curious and wanted to go over to have a look, but seeing that no one else planned to approach, she was embarrassed to go over.

After watching for more than ten minutes, they suddenly noticed that someone else had walked towards the foreigners.

And those two people are Zhang Xue and Yu Yuanyuan.

"It's really unfortunate to meet here again."

Zhang Yan's face suddenly stinked, and her face became even more ugly after seeing Zhang Xue and Yu Yuanyuan actually talking to those foreigners.

Wang Yanli whispered: "It's them again, they're really here." ”

"It must have come with us, maybe you still have a bad idea in your heart." Zhang Yan said angrily.

Wang Yanli scoffed, feeling that Zhang Yan's words were both biased and extreme, but she didn't refute it, so as not to make trouble with the latter and embarrass Zhao Qingyu.

And Wang Lei was also present, she didn't leave a bad impression on him.

Zhao Qingyu glanced at the few people who were "talking very happily" in the distance, and said lightly: "Let's go, didn't you say that you want to go inside to ask for a signature." ”

"Hmm."

The four of them walked along the uneven bluestone pavement, leisurely walking towards the entrance of the inner wall.

This entrance is similar to the previous one, except that the gate is open straight open because there is no need to check in again.

Some of the stone steps are high, some are short, and even the width is different in size, so you have to be careful to look at the road under your feet when walking.

Walking through the inner door, the view inside is no longer as singular as the outside.

There is a jousting ring here, behind the ring is a rockery more than ten meters high, and directly opposite the ring is a ladder-like seat for visitors to watch and rest during the game.

After the ring, there is an "S" shaped stream that crosses the inner courtyard, and outside the stream is a white jade carved railing, on which there are a few scattered water lilies, occasionally swaying gently with the breeze.

Passing through the stream, there is a large rectangular incense burner inside, and a long dragon is depicted on the outside of the incense burner running through the clouds.

There is a large round bronze incense burner far away from each other, but it is not as tall or large as the middle one.

Inside each incense burner, there is green smoke.

Behind the big incense burner, there are high stone steps, and above the stone steps is the real Void Jade Palace.

A few people passed by the incense burner, and Wang Yanli leaned into Zhao Qingyu's ear and whispered, "Aren't we going to offer incense?" ”

"You can also put incense on the inside, go to the inside."

Wang Yanli thought about it, so she quietly glanced at Wang Lei, who was following them, and pursed her lips.

The stone steps are high, not very high, at most ten meters, but the more Zhao Qingyu walked up, the more dizzy he felt.

Continuing to take a few steps reluctantly up, she stopped, and said in a panic: "I won't go in, you can go in if you want, I'll wait for you outside." ”

Wang Yanli turned her head to look at Zhao Qingyu, and originally wanted to persuade her to go in together, but she saw that the latter's face was pale, almost not a trace of blood, and beads of sweat the size of beans appeared on her forehead.

"You...... What's going on? Uncomfortable? Wang Yanli was suddenly frightened and shouted in panic.

Zhang Yan, who was walking in front, and Wang Lei, who was following behind, hurriedly came over and asked her what was going on.

Zhao Qingyu walked to the side, held on to the stone fence next to her and sat down, the cool stone steps made her cheer up a little: "I'm fine, I'm just too tired, I'll take a rest here, you guys go in." ”

"You really don't feel sick in any way, do you?"

This is the first thing Wang Lei said when he entered the Void Jade Palace.

Zhao Qingyu took out a paper to wipe the beads of sweat from his forehead, and pulled out a smile: "It's really okay, you guys hurry up, the chief of the family will get off work later." ”

"The Taoist will ...... off work," Zhang Yan muttered in some surprise.

Wang Yanli: "Of course it will, otherwise this Void Jade Palace would close at eight o'clock." ”

Seeing that Zhao Qingyu didn't seem to have anything to do, the other three left and continued to walk towards the Void Jade Palace.

Originally, Wang Lei stayed here to accompany her, but Zhao Qingyu insisted on letting him go with him, so he left step by step.

"It's really ......" Zhao Qingyu was a little depressed, when she stopped, the feeling of panic became stronger, and after sitting down, her head didn't hurt so much.

She remembered what happened in Jinding last time, and it was a little similar to this time.

But last time, I was uncomfortable after walking in, and this time I didn't go in yet, and I felt that something was wrong.

Zhao Qingyu had a vague premonition in her heart that she might really not be able to enter such a place.

In order to prove her guess, she rested for a while, then got up again and walked towards the Void Jade Palace.

The closer she got, the more uncomfortable her body became, and after reaching the platform at the top of the steps, she looked up at the huge plaque above her head, on which the words "Void Jade Palace" shook her dizzy.

If it weren't for her hand holding on to the stone fence next to her, she might have fallen down at any time.

……

"Zhang Xue, what were you talking to those foreigners just now, can you understand what they are saying?"

"What do you say?" Zhang Xue's expression was faint.

Yu Yuanyuan was speechless, just now she listened to the conversation between Zhang Xue and the foreigner for a while, except for "holle" and "byebye", she didn't understand a word.

When she sighed that Zhang Xue was so powerful, her heart also began to bubble sourly.

In fact, Yu Yuanyuan didn't know that when Zhang Xue was talking to those foreigners just now, she almost forgot the nervous words, and she didn't understand many words, but she just said a few words blindly.

But in front of Yu Yuanyuan, it is impossible for Zhang Xue to tell this fact.

The two walked forward with different thoughts, and suddenly, Yu Yuanyuan pointed to the door of the Xuyu Palace and exclaimed in a low voice: "She is there!" ”

Zhang Xue looked over, and it turned out that Zhao Qingyu was slowly walking down the stone steps with his body bent, and the latter seemed to be injured, or something uncomfortable.

The two of them looked at each other, and then walked quickly towards Zhao Qingyu, and when they got closer, Zhang Xue and Yu Yuanyuan found that Zhao Qingyu's face was as pale as paper, and his short hair was soaked with sweat, as if he had just washed his hair.

Because the stone steps were a little high and steep, Zhao Qingyu didn't seem to have the strength, and both hands were holding on to the white jade stone fence next to him, and he was almost moving down slowly.

"What's wrong with you......"

Zhang Xue pursed her lips, but still walked over and asked her.

Zhao Qingyu raised his head, and his misty eyes turned red for a moment.

"Ahh

Yu Yuanyuan screamed, Zhang Xue was so frightened that she almost fell down the steps, and the two staggered down a few steps in panic.

Zhao Qingyu heard the shout, took a few more steps, gradually came back to her senses, and her eyes gradually cleared, but at this time she had no strength, so she could only sit on the stone steps again, gasping for breath.

She had already seen the two people in front of her clearly, and the two of them also looked at her with a look of horror.

"You, did you think her eyes were ...... just now" Zhang Xue's mouth opened slightly, and her voice was very weak.

Yu Yuanyuan next to her nodded like a chicken pecking rice: "I saw it, I saw it, her eyes were red just now." ”

Zhao Qingyu's brain was still a little buzzing, and he only saw the eyes of the two of them closing together as if they were saying something, but he couldn't hear it clearly at all.

But she vaguely guessed that the two of them might have seen something just now.

Thinking of this, her eyes sank slightly, and she stood up again, wanting to go down the steps, but as soon as she moved, the two people seemed to see a monster, staring at her vigilantly while retreating.

"Zhao Qingyuβ€”"

Zhang Yan's familiar shout came from behind him, Zhao Qingyu stopped, turned his head and answered: "Have you finished asking for a sign?" ”

"Well, after begging, I spent a dollar to buy incense." Wang Yanli also came out, with a smile on her face, looking in a good mood.

Wang Lei followed aside, silent as always.

Zhang Yan took two steps forward, saw Zhang Xue and Yu Yuanyuan, immediately rolled her eyes to the sky, and muttered in a low voice: "What two heel worms." ”

Yu Yuanyuan and Zhang Xue saw the three people behind, and their hearts were a little less afraid, but they still didn't dare to step forward, and after standing for a while, Yu Yuanyuan whispered in Zhang Xue's ear, and the two left in a hurry without saying a word.
