Chapter Eighty-Six: Reflection on the Wall

Yang Leyu pondered for a moment: "Moon symbol? This may be the representative evening. ”

She had a flash of inspiration, yes, night! Could it be that Jia Xiuniang invited her to meet at Xiangrui Palace at night?

It would be great if that were the case, and all the plots would be solved.

Yang Leyu pressed the joy in her heart and thought deeply. After so many things, she is no longer the person who once caused trouble when her mind was hot.

Yang Leyu asked: "Mountains and seas, when did you find this moon marker?" Could it be that there is a little chamberlain and a little palace maid who thinks it is funny and deliberately portrays it? ”

Shanhai: "Back to the concubine, the slave maid is what I saw just now." Dusk has arrived, and the palace road has not yet lit the palace lamp. The slave and maid shook off the fire and followed the way, and after thinking about it for another round of training, she came back for dinner, and saw the mark. As for the misunderstanding you mentioned, I'm afraid it shouldn't be. Who in our palace doesn't know that Niangniang is deeply loved by His Majesty, and the slaves and maids are from the Leyi Palace, and they dare not paint recklessly. ”

Yang Leyu nodded, "In that case, call Gan Tang late at night and accompany me to have a look." ”

Whether it was a misunderstanding or not, Yang Leyu couldn't let go of this rare opportunity.

.

The night was deep, the moonlight was obscured by dark clouds, and even the stars could not be seen.

Gan Tang glanced at the sky, "Concubine, there should be heavy rain tonight, let's go again tomorrow morning." ”

Yang Leyu shook her head, "No, it's too late to go tomorrow morning." You and the mountains and seas with an oil umbrella is. ”

Gan Tang nodded, and the three of them walked along the road, all the way to the vicinity of Xiangrui Palace.

Xiangrui Palace is the palace used by the first emperor for alchemy, and Mu Chengzhou never believed in these, so it became increasingly abandoned. There are not even a few palace lamps around, and because of the strong wind, a few lights are blown out, and the black silence that you can't see your fingers can be seen.

Gan Tang hugged Yang Leyu tightly and said to Shanhai: "Father-in-law Shan, quickly raise the lantern, don't let the evil creature collide with Niangniang." ”

Hearing this, the mountains and seas raised the lanterns.

Yang Leyu has only been here once, and he is a road idiot who doesn't know the way, so he asked, "Is it almost there?" ”

The mountains and seas looked around, confirmed the location, and stood under the wall, "Niangniang, this is it." ”

He shone a lantern on the marked wall.

Indeed, just below the SOS, there is a mark of a month and a half.

Yang Leyu: "Let's wait, maybe she's still on the way." ”

The wind was loud, which made Gan Tang a little scared, "Concubine Niangniang, this place is deserted, why is it a little infiltrating?" ”

Shanhai said: "Don't be afraid, girl, with me, you and Niangniang will be fine." ”

Yang Leyu was actually a little stunned, if it wasn't for finding Jia Xiuniang, why bother to come here and wait for the rabbit?

The wind blew through the walls, whistled, and the chill drew closer.

Gan Tang looked up at the sky, "Concubine, it's really going to change the sky." My grandma said that there must be a demon when things go wrong, and tonight is not usual. Will Jia Xiuniang really come? ”

Yang Leyu doesn't believe in these old folk sayings, "We brought umbrellas, and we were drenched in the rain when it was a big deal, and it would be fine to go back and drink some ginger tea and take a hot bath." ”

Her words are to comfort Gan Tang and comfort herself.

The raindrops of beans fell as soon as they fell, and Gantang and Shanhai coincidentally held up oil-paper umbrellas, and the three of them were close together to avoid being drenched by water.

The rain was rapid, and after a while, it was like a torrent, even heavier than the time of fishing.

The thunder like a drum sounded from all directions, and Gan Tang hurriedly said: "Concubine, we can't wait here any longer, the rain is too heavy, hurry back!" ”

Yang Leyu looked around anxiously, but no one came.

Isn't it Jia Xiuniang who painted? Or did she miss her appointment because it was raining?

Just as Yang Leyu was thinking about it, Gan Tang suddenly exclaimed-

"Ghosts! Ghosts! ”

At the same time, a bolt of lightning slashed down in the sky, and purple light shone on the palace wall, revealing a figure.

Shanhai also saw it, and his lips trembled to protect Gan Tang, "Auntie...... Don't be afraid, girl, hide behind me! ”

Although Shanhai is a eunuch, he is half a man, and he is still a dependent compared to the frightened little girl.

Gan Tang obediently hid behind him.

Another burst of purple lightning broke through the air, and the figure resurfaced on the palace wall.

I saw that the figure was a woman, and her demeanor was very flustered, as if she was hiding someone.

Shan Haijing's legs trembled, "Concubine..... Ghost ......"

Yang Leyu is a person with modern education, and she once went to the Forbidden City to listen to the docent say that the figures on the walls of the Forbidden City were similar to recordings because of thunder on rainy days, so she was not as panicked as the two of them.

Yang Leyu calmed their emotions, "Don't panic, that's just the reflection recorded before, not a ghost!" ”

Gan Tang still didn't believe it, "Concubine, that's a ghost!" You see that she is crazy, she must be a terrible ghost! ”

Sure enough, the figure ran wildly, and finally disappeared into the darkness when the lightning stopped.

The oil-paper umbrellas of Gantang and Shanhai were scattered by the wind and rain and could not be used.

Yang Leyu pointed to the Xiangrui Palace behind him, "Come in and avoid it!" ”

The Xiangrui Palace was cold and dark, and the lanterns carried by the mountains and seas were also extinguished by the rain, and the three of them closed the door of the main hall to prevent the wind and rain from blowing in.

Shanhai said: "Wait a minute, the concubine girl, the slave maid has been here before, I remember that there is also a fairy lamp left by the first emperor here, find it to illuminate." ”

After he finished speaking, he went into a darker place, and the quiet Xiangrui Palace only heard the sound of rummaging.

Finally, a candle lit up.

Gan Tang sighed, "Thanks to the father-in-law of the mountain, otherwise the slave would have been scared to death." ”

Yang Leyu patted her back and comforted, "It's all my fault that I'm not good, I have to pull you two here." ”

Shanhai smiled: "Where is this talk, concubine?" You saved the lives of slaves and maids, and since then they have been in the same boat with you, don't you say this? ”

Gan Tang hugged Yang Leyu, "Concubine, there is a gloomy leak at the door, let's go inside." ”

Yang Leyu nodded, and moved into the hall through the lantern.

There are bronze statues several meters high enshrined in this hall, all of which are real Taoist characters, and there are also fierce and evil spirits, and the whole hall is very oppressive.

Gan Tang moved cautiously, for fear of stepping on the wrong brick, so that these bronze giants could open their eyes.

Suddenly, a figure swept behind the giant bronze statue.

"Ghost!" Shanhai shouted.

The sound echoed through the empty hall, causing the candlelight to jump like a carnival.

Yang Leyu made a silent gesture, tried to lower her voice as much as possible, and asked politely: "Dare to ask if there is anyone in the hall?" We are from Le Yi Palace, and there is no malice in rushing in, can you show up? ”

Gan Tang stared everywhere with wide eyes and swallowed his throat.

At this moment, Gan Tang saw a white-haired woman hanging upside down from the top of the bronze statue, her hair brushing her cheeks, and then disappeared in the blink of an eye.
