This morning, after I got up with the old man, the first thing I did was to make a phone call to Zhou Boren, tell him everything that happened last night, from beginning to end, and ask him to immediately use the political authority of the Institute of Unsolved Mysteries to notify the "Forbidden City Management Committee", temporarily lift the alarm on the "Yuhua Pavilion", which is never open to outsiders, and agree to allow us to enter the internal investigation.

Zhou Boren originally said on the phone: "This is no problem", I thought to myself, since he Zhou Boren said that there is no problem, then there is no problem. But when I was having breakfast downstairs in the hotel with the old man, Zhou Boren called us and said helplessly: "This matter may still be a little complicated. ”

I asked him, "What's the situation?" ”

Zhou Boren said: "I called, originally I thought it was just a trivial matter, but I asked this to know that the internal political structure of the Forbidden City is quite complicated, and the departments currently responsible for the management of the Forbidden City, in addition to the "Palace Museum Management Committee", there are also "Beijing Military Region Garrison", "State Cultural Relics Management Committee", "Palace Museum", "Buddhist Association of China", "National Tourism Administration", "Chinese Classical Culture Research Association", etc., that is to say, we want to open the Yuhua Pavilion, It's really not something that can be counted by any department that says it, you have to agree with all of them. ”

I said anxiously, "What then?" ”

Zhou Boren said: "The departments that we can handle immediately now are the "Forbidden City Management Committee" and the "Beijing Military Region Garrison", and other departments are not very easy to handle, especially the "Buddhist Association of China", this organization is very iron-clad, if you want to deal with them, it will not work by "greeting", you must go through the process to make a report, but in this way we have to delay a lot of time." ”

I asked Zhou Boren: "Then there is no way?" ”

Zhou Boren said: "As far as the current situation is concerned, if you want to enter Yuhua Pavilion, there are only two ways now, either wait for me for a week, I will be responsible for handling this matter, other departments are not a problem, the main thing is that the "Buddhist Association of China" is not very easy to do, you really haven't seen those bald people, these people don't care what kind of official you are, your head is iron, their head is more iron than you, and it is real iron, the kind that can play with you if you are in a hurry, Yuhua Pavilion is related to "Buddha", and it is within their jurisdiction, No one would want to go in without their consent. ”

I asked Zhou Boren, "What about the other way?" ”

Zhou Boren said: "The Forbidden City is managed by countless departments, but they only go to work during the day, and at night, the Forbidden City is left with the garrison of the Beijing Military Region, and the military is our people, I will say hello and keep your green light all the way." ”

I was stunned, "You mean ...... Let's sneak in at night? ”

Zhou Boren said: "That's right, why not? Those who do big things are not informal, this is not called sneaking, it is called flexibility. You go in a few nights, go straight to Yuhua Pavilion, and quietly withdraw when you get what you want, so that the movement is small, which is beneficial to the overall situation. If you go in brightly, you'll have to say hello to several departments, and it's too much of a commotion, do you know what I mean? ”

I looked back at the old man, "What do you think?" ”

The old man was silent for a moment and said, "Okay, do it!" ”

……

……

In a café on Wangfujing Street, the five of us gathered together, and the old man said, "That's the situation, anyway, if you don't go tonight, you'll have to wait a week, I think we might as well vote." ”

Feng Erbiao said: "What is there to vote for, go!" ”

Gu Nianxia said: "I'm free. ”

Pudding frowned and said: "This week's uncle is really the director, the director of the Institute of Unsolved Mysteries, why can't he do such a thing?" Sneaking into the Forbidden City? I said, "Your hearts are so big, is this like a word?" Isn't that a thief? ”

I said to Pudding: "Battalion Commander Bu, we are thieves, tomb robbers, I said don't complain, Zhou Boren is right, those bald people are very difficult to do, I have a deep understanding of this, let me tell you something, that year I went to Jiuhua Mountain with my mother to burn incense, and a high-ranking official also went that day, driving an A8L, and after going up the mountain, I parked the car on the side of the road, hey, guess what?" The monk was stunned and refused to let him enter the temple, and insisted on letting him park his car in the parking lot. The high-ranking official took out his work card and took a picture of it, hey! Damn, it's useless. The monk said four words: Amitabha...... What do you think you can do with him? ”

The old man laughed after hearing this: "I have also heard of what the third child said, I tell you, you really don't complain about Zhou Boren, it is normal for him to not be able to handle this matter, religion has been on an equal level with the imperial power since ancient times, in the past, the emperor went to burn incense, and the abbot in the temple did not need to kneel, just stand, you think about how much a cow." ”

I'm talking to the old man, you say a word to me, and give the pudding to Kanmeng, in fact, I know what she's afraid of, this guy is afraid of ghosts, Pudding is a person who loves to watch court dramas, the kind of palace fight, in her worldview, the Forbidden City is full of unjust spirits, and the supernatural events in the Forbidden City have never stopped, those who are responsible for keeping vigil in the Forbidden City at night, can often see the ghosts of the palace maids walking in the harem in a long line, their faces are bloodless, and some of them have strangulation marks on their necks, if you keep staring at her, When you look back again, you'll find her pupilless face, standing quietly behind you......

It is said that in 72 years, there was a staff member on duty in the Forbidden City, he passed by a cold palace when he was patrolling at night, and he heard a woman's miserable cry in the cold palace, he was immediately startled, and hurriedly went back to call someone, so seven or eight people went with flashlights in the middle of the night, but standing at the door of the cold palace, no one dared to go in, only heard a miserable howl in the house, and the scalp of the person who listened to the cry was numb!

The next day a bold man heard about it, and he did not believe in evil, and he said that he dared to go in and see, and when evening came, he really went! When the miserable cry sounded, he pushed open the door of the house, and looked around with a flashlight, only to find that it was a cat, and immediately laughed.

After a long time, the strange cry in the cold palace was just a false alarm, and everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, but then, a creepy strange thing happened, the bold man had a high fever for the next three days, and his consciousness became trance-like, and he disappeared. It wasn't until seven days later that it was discovered that he had hanged himself in the cold palace, and the terrible thing was that when he died, he actually made himself into a cat......
