XXXI. The Forbidden City in the rainstorm exudes eerie terror

21. Heavy rain in the Forbidden City

The Forbidden City of Beijing was the imperial palace of the Ming and Qing dynasties of China, formerly known as the Forbidden City, and is located in the center of Beijing's central axis. The Forbidden City in Beijing is centered on the three major halls, covering an area of 720,000 square meters, with a construction area of about 150,000 square meters, more than 70 large and small palaces and more than 9,000 houses.

As a brilliant crystallization in the history of ancient Chinese architecture, the Forbidden City in Beijing is a compulsory course for all students who study design and landscape architecture colleges, and of course it is also a nightmare discipline for students. All of them are small pieces of buildings and facilities in various places.

After walking for more than two hours, Xiao Chen felt that he had just transferred to Cining Palace, the weather was sultry, Xiao Chen and Song Minghui found a corner, and simply found a shady wall root to sit directly on the ground to eat and replenish energy.

Song Minghui suddenly sighed: "You said that this emperor Lao'er used to be in the front of the previous dynasty, and he had to run to the three palaces and six courtyards behind him when he slept at night, do you think he is tired?"

Xiao Chen smiled: "Tired, it's very tired, if it were me, I would call the concubines one by one to take turns to serve, I was too lazy to go so far!"

Song Minghui tilted his head to look at Xiao Chen: "The concubines are still serving one by one, you said that if you were a man born in ancient times, do you have to find a few wives?"

Xiao Chen squinted his eyes and thought: "Hey, yes, your idea is very good, I am very satisfied, come, give this beauty a promise."

When Song Minghui heard that this product was still energetic, he snapped and patted Xiao Chen's head, "What is the blind day by day!" I've played the emperor, and you're a concubine. ”

It happened that Su Yang and He Sheng walked out of Cining Palace together and met Song Minghui and Xiao Chen, who were sitting at the base of the wall.

Song Minghui was surprised: "Hey, why are you two together!" Thinking in his heart, Lao Qin was so difficult that he retreated.

He Sheng: "What, if the two of you are walking around, we can't meet by chance!"

Originally, Lao Qin had a group of five or six people, and there were many people, and they were scattered, and Lao Qin simply let their class go laissez-faire, as long as they could find someone at the time of gathering, Su Yang happened to meet He Sheng who came out of the toilet, and He Sheng simply forgot his friends and threw away the two friends who were with him.

Su Yang asked, "How many of you still haven't left?"

Song Minghui: "Hey, Xiao Chen's things and things haven't been to the Sixth Palace yet, and I have to visit the concubines one by one." The tone is yin and yang.

Xiao Chen patted Song Minghui's thigh.

He Sheng answered: "That's right, you have to be wet with rain and dew, your emperor is really kind-hearted, you look at which concubine you don't like to see, I'll drag him to the cold palace." Everyone is joking

Xiao Chen pointed at Song Minghui: "That, just sit at the root of the wall."

Saying that, Song Minghui rubbed up, Xiao Chen saw that it was not good and hurriedly ran, and Song Minghui hugged Xiao Chen from behind

"Let you be scared, dare to talk nonsense!" While talking and tickling, the itchy Xiao Chen sat directly on the ground and begged for mercy, and Song Minghui let her go.

Su Yang looked at Xiao Chen enviously.

The four of them set off again for the East and West Sixth Palaces. The weather is hot and stuffy, it is more difficult to play umbrellas in the Forbidden City, there are many people, and they may hang up to others when they are, so Xiao Chen and Su Yang don't use umbrellas.

Su Yang: "Why didn't you think about loading a few trees on the side of this city wall when you said it was being built?" It's good to be able to shade the sun. ”

He Sheng: "Plant trees, then the TV series will not be able to shoot the feeling of the concubines in the deep palace locking the palace wall, think about it, if the concubines will climb the tree and turn out, then the emperor will not be angry to death!"

Song Minghui nodded in agreement.

Xiao Chen began to study the vat on the aisle.

"Hey, you say, what is this tank for," Xiao Chen asked curiously.

"It's so big, what to do with the palace maid?" Su Yang said scarelessly.

"Ah, isn't that all the lives in this tank, can't it, that's too scary, you've watched too many TV series. I estimate that 80 percent of them are for backup water. Song Minghui guessed.

"Take water to cool down, or drink? Or do you want to plant trees? He Sheng was so hot that the first thing he thought of was to cool down.

At this time, a tour guide passed by with a tour group.

"Come to relatives and friends, what about the big vat you see in front of you, the official ancient fire-fighting equipment, because the Forbidden City is a wooden building, easy to catch fire, so these tanks are filled with water, for firefighting, in ancient times, the palace is taboo about the word fire, so every time it catches fire, it is called 'walking water'."

The crowd passed, and the four of them stayed where they were, and when they heard it, they were stunned, He Sheng patted Song Minghui, "Yo, yes, guess about it." ”

The weather was getting more and more stuffy, the sky was getting overcast, and the four of them rested in the corridor of the concubine's harem. The raindrops of beans fell down, the rain became heavier and heavier, the sky was dark, mixed with hail, and the rain that fell to the ground splashed up a body of water in the corridor, thunder accompanied by lightning, and suddenly a demon wind blew, and the rain blew into the corridor with the wind, Song Minghui subconsciously hugged Xiao Chen and opened the umbrella, blocking most of the rain, Su Yang also opened the umbrella cleanly, blocking the rain, He Sheng hid on the side and had nothing to block, holding the bag to block his face, at this time He Sheng found that an umbrella seemed to help him cover a lot of rain, it was Su Yang, Su Yang gave up half of the umbrella to He Sheng, the two of them raised the umbrella on the side, their eyes were facing each other, the atmosphere was not embarrassed, suddenly there was a thunderstorm, the people who blew up were panicked, Su Yang was so frightened that he covered his ears with one hand, He Sheng subconsciously took the umbrella with one hand and hugged Su Yang tightly in his arms with the other hand.

Su Yang is afraid of thunder and sudden fright, so if someone in the class suddenly scares her, if she comes back to her senses, she will scold others, Xiao Chen knows that every time she is frightened, her lips turn purple, her heart beats faster, and sometimes she is even out of breath.

Although Xiao Chen is also afraid of thunder, he is only physically afraid of sound, and there is no big reaction in his body.

Xiao Chen suddenly thought that Su Yang was afraid, pushed Song Minghui away and turned his head to hold Su Yang, the moment she opened the umbrella, she saw He Sheng hugging Su Yang tightly, Su Yang covered his ears tightly with both hands, Xiao Chen smiled, looked at Song Minghui, and the two of them silently hid in the umbrella and then avoided the rain.

"You said that it was the same in the Manchu Dynasty, and the rain in the Forbidden City was so eerie?" Xiao Chen originally looked at the dim sky and slowly turned to the warm pavilion through the glass, but the bed inside was even more creepy under the background of the gloomy weather, which frightened Xiao Chen to turn his head quickly, and the two people who were originally leaning on the window glass were moved out by Xiao Chen.

This was originally the bedroom where the concubine lived, after the renovation of the window changed to glass for the convenience of visitors to watch, the color of the bed inside is estimated to have faded for a long time, plus the furniture is dark, and the more important thing is that the weather outside is too dark, it does look a little crazy.

Song Minghui noticed that she was a little strange: "What's wrong?"

Xiao Chen whispered, "I'm afraid that a ghost will crawl out." Xiao Chen pointed to the room.

Song Minghui smiled: "Where are there ghosts, it's just that no one lives there, and I feel unpopular."

Xiao Chen asked curiously: "You said that they all said that the Forbidden City was very suspenseful and haunted, is it true?"

Song Minghui thought about it and said seriously: "Maybe, otherwise why wouldn't it be open at night, it was so dark just now, it is estimated that the ghosts in the palace thought it was dark and came out for a walk!"

Xiao Chen's eyes revealed fear: "I really feel that there are people in it, no, there are ghosts, look at that bed." said arched into Song Minghui's arms,.

Song Minghui saw that Xiao Chen seemed to be really scared, and touched her head.

"It's okay, think about it, there was only one man in the palace before, and the rest were eunuchs and women, and the yang energy was insufficient, you see how much yang energy is in this corridor now, and the ghost doesn't dare to come out."

Xiao Chen looked up at the corridor: "What you said seems to make sense."

The rain gradually became lighter, and the sky was bright, He Sheng found that Su Yang was still trembling, He Sheng felt that something was wrong, so he called Xiao Chen,

Xiao Chen: "What's wrong with you, Su Yang?"

Su Yang gasped: "It's okay, maybe it's just too frightened."

Su Yang's lips were purple, and his face was pale, a little like the state of Wang Ming that day.

Xiao Chen wiped off a piece of the seat in the corridor and helped Su Yang to sit down, and Su Yang leaned against the pillar.

"Drink some water!" He Sheng took a bottle of water and came out.

"Help me get the medicine out of my bag." Su Yang gasped.

Xiao Chen found out and saw that it was a bottle of heart-saving pills.

"Why are you upset?" Xiao Chen looked at the heart-saving pill and was stunned.

Su Yang ate it and didn't speak, and after a while, he ate a small noodle containing a piece of sugar, and Su Yang's lips were not so purple.

"Since the last time Wang Ming had this incident, I went to the hospital and the doctor said that it might be temporary caused by excessive fright, so I always have this medicine on hand, and if I feel uncomfortable, I will take a few pills."

He Sheng clenched his fists for a while, and he regretted that he didn't find this kid to settle accounts at that time.

"This Wang Ming is really harmful." Song Minghui's face was also ugly.
