Murong Danyan looked at the red walls around him, and the more he looked at it, the more frightened he became, and then he felt dizzy in his head, so he had to close his eyes, and then calmed down slightly.

At this time, the group of heroes searched everywhere in the main hall, and Situ Qiao was still circling in circles around the platform where the throne was placed. But with each turn, he approached the platform a few points, and the closer he got to it, the more nervous the look on his face became. His eyes were not on the platform and the throne, and a thin layer of sweat oozed from his forehead.

Zhu Sanjia and Liu Yong were still rummaging through the books in front of the bookshelf. Li Qiufeng took the stack of white papers in his hand and read them carefully one by one. It's just that except for Yang Pu and Li Yan mentioned on the first blank paper, what is written on the other pieces of paper is nothing more than some poems and songs, and I can't see any clues. Li Qiufeng read the words on each piece of paper three or four times, but found nothing, and finally had to put the stack of papers on the table in disappointment.

He was in frustration when he suddenly heard a loud "click", and hurriedly turned his head to look for prestige. But he saw that Situ Qiao had already stood on the platform at some point, carrying a yellow cushion in his left hand, and was looking at the throne with a shocked face.

It turned out that Situ Qiao walked up to the platform, and before arriving at the throne, after carefully studying it for a long time, he stretched out his left hand to take the cushion on the throne. But unexpectedly, the cushion was clinging to the throne, and he knew that something was wrong, and he lifted his left hand upwards with force, only to hear a loud noise, and the cushion had been torn off the throne by him.

After this loud sound, only the sound of "bang-la-la" was heard, as if countless huge iron chains were dragging and rubbing on the ground. Situ Qiao's right foot was a little, and his body flew up lightly, drifting straight to the stage, falling straight out of three zhang away, but not far from the entrance of the main hall.

Seeing this, everyone also rushed to the door of the main hall. At this time, the sound of the chain grinding became louder and louder, and the sound was erratic, sometimes underground, sometimes among the surrounding walls, and even from the caisson of the ceiling of the main hall.

Liu Yong looked nervous, and said to Situ Qiao: "Mr. Situ, haven't you closed all the organs?

Situ Qiao's face was gloomy, and he said word by word: "I originally thought that I had cracked all the mechanisms in the main hall, but before I arrived at the throne, I realized that the mechanisms in the platform were completely different from the entire main hall, and they were not controlled by the center of the main hall, so I cautiously approached the past." When he got to the platform, he realized that the mechanism was under the throne, and he was about to lift the seat cushion. It's just that I've confirmed that I didn't affect the mechanism, and I can't figure out why this is happening now. ”

Lin Yilang said angrily: "You can't figure out that you are still moving your hands and feet on the stage, don't you want to kill everyone?!"

Situ Qiao said: "Life and death are fate, and wealth is in the sky." You're also the head of a faction, and you take life and death more seriously, right?"

At this time, not only did the sound of the chains rubbing get louder and louder, but the ground under everyone's feet also trembled slightly. Hundreds of candles on the surrounding walls flickered and flickered, reflecting the shadows of everyone on the walls and the ground, like monsters, dangling in front of everyone's eyes.

Seeing this terrifying situation, Zhu Sanjia said in a trembling voice: "Master Li, let's leave this hall!"

Murong Danyan also said: "This underground, it seems that a huge monster is going to come out...... Brother Li, look at our ......"

Before she could finish speaking, the sound of friction suddenly stopped, and the tremor of the ground under her feet disappeared in an instant. Everyone originally used their own internal strength, and their feet were firmly nailed to the ground, for fear that when the ground trembled, their feet would be unstable, and if their bodies shook or fell to the ground, they would inevitably lose face in front of the heroes. It's just that no one expected that the tremor on the ground suddenly stopped, but everyone was still concentrating on their internal strength, and their faces were tense and stiff, which looked quite funny.

After a while, Liu Yong let out a sigh of relief and said to Situ Qiao: "Mr. Situ, do you see that this mechanism has stopped?"

Situ Qiao's face was solemn, still staring at the throne, shook his head, and said, "I don't know ...... either."

Qunhao's expressions were embarrassed and nervous, and when he saw Situ Qiao, he was confused, and his heart was even more frightened. It's just that after a while, there is no abnormality around, so I can relax. Chu Danyang said: "Mr. Situ, what happened to that strange noise?"

Situ Qiao said: "That is after the central organ is activated, the wooden wheel rotates, pulling the iron chain, so that the organs everywhere move with it. Judging by the sound, there are mechanisms everywhere in the underground, ceiling, and even the surrounding walls of this hall. But in the end, I can't guess why the mechanism stopped working again. ”

At this time, the candles in the main hall no longer flickered, and the surroundings returned to their previous appearance. It's just that everyone no longer dares to go into the depths of the hall, and everyone is very nervous, and they can't help but turn their heads to look around. A few people quietly retreated, standing in front of the threshold of the main hall, as long as there was any more change, they would turn around and escape from the main hall.

Murong Danyan said in a trembling voice: "Brother Li, why is it getting more and more terrifying here......

Li Qiufeng clenched the handle of the knife with his right hand and said to Murong Danyan: "We are underground, and we encounter this strange situation again, it is not surprising that we are a little scared. ”

Murong Danyan saw that although Li Qiufeng's face was solemn, he was like Yue Linyuan, and he was not panicked, so he was a little relieved in his heart. Turning his head to look around, he said in a low voice: "Brother Li, you are on an errand in the Beijing Imperial Palace, is it as terrible as this palace?"

Li Qiufeng was stunned for a moment, paused for a moment, and then said: "When I first entered the palace, I first worked as a secretary in the Fusi of Jinyi Weinan Town, then as a palace gate guard, and finally on duty in Wuying Palace. The palace is heavily guarded, with three steps and one post, five steps and one sentry, and Li has not encountered anything terrible. But ......."

At this point, he frowned slightly, as if remembering something. Seeing his appearance, Murong Danyan asked, "But what?"

Li Qiufeng knew Murong Danyan's temperament, if she didn't explain the matter, she would have to break the casserole and ask to the end before she could rest. After pausing for a moment, he continued: "I also heard from my fellow Jinyi Wei that there was once a haunting in the palace. That happened shortly after Youngjong was reinstated. It is said that late one night, a hundred households in Fusi, Weibei Town, Jinyi, took twelve guards to patrol the night, and suddenly found that six palace maids appeared in the middle of the East Sixth Palace. That night, the rain poured down, the lightning and thunder roared, according to the rules of the palace, after the palace gate was dropped, except for the inner guards, the palace maids and eunuchs were not allowed to walk outside. Seeing the strange whereabouts of these six palace maids, Jinyi Wei immediately chased after them and wanted to stop them for interrogation.

"Who knew that these six palace maids walked as if they didn't touch the ground, although Jinyiwei's martial arts were not weak, they couldn't stop these six people. The hundred households were shocked, and immediately sent a signal to call for their companions to come to support. A moment later, the Jinyi guards who were patrolling other places in the East Sixth Palace, together with some of the night guards of the Zhai Palace and the Fengtian Palace, also rushed over and firmly blocked the north and south exits of the East Sixth Palace.

Under the gaze of one hundred and ten pairs of eyes, I saw the six palace maids swaying and wandering, from south to north. More than a dozen Jinyi guard masters rushed forward to intercept them, and shouted at the six people to stop. The six palace maids didn't hear it, and still walked lightly along the sandwich road to the north. The leader of the Jinyi Guard who led the team ordered the six people to be killed, and the Jinyi Guard master who surrounded him was no longer merciful, and waved the long knife in his hand and slashed at the six palace maids. It's just that although the embroidered spring knife is extremely sharp, Wuzi can't stop these six palace maids.

When the lightning and thunder roared, these six palace maids were dressed in white, and their faces were pale, like ghosts. Dozens of brocade-clothed guards flashed with swords, slashing and slashing around six people in front and back, left and right, but the blades swept by, and they couldn't hurt these six people in the slightest. Later, the thunder and lightning stopped, and the six people walked to the entrance of the Zhong Shatter Palace, and suddenly disappeared in front of everyone. At that time, more than 200 Jinyi guards gathered around the East Sixth Palace, and together with the deputy commander of Jinyi Wei and the head of the Fusi Division of the North and South Towns who rushed here, they didn't see where these six people went.

"The East Sixth Palace is the residence of the emperor's concubine, if these six people are assassins and disturb the concubine, the brocade guards on duty at night will not be able to get out of it. It was because everyone searched everywhere and made a fuss for most of the night. It's just that the heavy rain has stopped, the thunder and lightning have stopped, and Jinyiwei has searched all over the East Sixth Palace, but he has not found the six palace maids. Later, the commander of the Jinyi Guard and the Governor of the East Factory who rushed to the East Sixth Palace were shocked, and called the Jinyi Guard, who had seen the six palace maids with their own eyes, to interrogate them one by one to confirm whether these people were lying. After some investigation, everyone said that they had indeed seen six palace maids with strange whereabouts. Moreover, there were also the deputy commander of the Jinyi Guard and the leader of the North and South Zhenfu Division, but there were also many eunuchs on duty at night. Both Jinyiwei and Dongchang believed that there were indeed six palace maids who appeared in the middle of the East Sixth Palace, and then disappeared mysteriously.

The commander of Jinyiwei and the governor of Dongchang did not dare to hide this matter, so he handed an excerpt to Emperor Yingzong. At that time, Emperor Yingzong was not long after he was reinstated, and after hearing the news, he was frightened and did not dare to rest in the palace, so he moved to an inconspicuous small palace overnight, and there were 200 brocade guards around the palace every night. Fortunately, after this incident, the six palace maids never appeared again. It's just that soon after, there were rumors in the palace that these six people were not alive, but the palace maids who had died unjustly in the palace over the years turned into ghosts to make trouble. The East Sixth Palace is the residence of the emperor's favorite concubines, and many of these concubines are bitter and mean-spirited, and it is common to punish palace maids, and even kill palace maids. In addition to the palace maids who were beaten to death by their masters, there are often palace maids who can't stand the humiliation and commit suicide. It is said in the palace that the East Sixth Palace is extremely resentful, but it is not uncommon for these unjust souls to come out to make trouble.

The news of the haunting soon spread outside the palace, but the rumors in the market were different from those in the palace. At that time, Yingzong was restored to the throne for only one year, Yu Qian Yu Shaobao died unjustly, and the people of Beijing were still dissatisfied. It is based on the legend of the market, it is Yu Shaobao's immortal soul, and he wants to find the emperor's theory. The secret agent of Jinyiwei and the fan of Dongchang reported the rumors of the people to the commander of Jinyiwei and the governor of Dongchang, and the two were frightened, knowing that if Emperor Yingzong knew about this, he would have to raise a big case. The head of Jinyiwei and the governor of Dongchang discussed it privately, and agreed that this matter must not be known to the emperor, so they suppressed the matter. Since then, there have been rumors in the palace that on the night of lightning and thunder, ghosts will appear in the middle of the East Sixth Palace. The guards who patrol the night are also interested, and on this day, they will avoid the East Sixth Palace Fence Road far away, and only walk through the entrance of the north and south exits of the Sandwich Road, and never dare to look at the inside. ”

When Li Qiufeng said this, Murong Danyan said in a trembling voice: "Brother Li, is this thing true?Have you seen the ghosts of those palace maids?"

Li Qiufeng smiled bitterly: "This thing is a legend in the palace, as for whether anyone has seen it with their own eyes, I don't know." It has been nearly fifty or sixty years since the Yingzong Dynasty, and the people who saw the ghosts back then have died cleanly, so it is naturally impossible to test whether this matter is false. It's just that the commander of Jinyiwei and the governor of Dongchang are both big shots, and with their identities, it stands to reason that they will not be fake. I have indeed been to the middle road of the East Sixth Palace, but I have never seen any ghosts, I think that Li Mou is more murderous, and the ghosts have gone far away when they see Li. ”

Murong Danyan frowned and said, "This is strange. What kind of place is that?"

Li Qiufeng said: "The East Sixth Palace Sandwich Road is also known as the East Tube Sandwich Road in the palace, located between the West Sixth Palace, Fengxian Palace, the North Five Institutes and Ningshou Palace, and there are tall red walls on both sides......"

When Li Qiufeng said this, his heart moved, and he involuntarily glanced around the hall, and thought to himself: "The walls of this hall are painted red, which is very similar to the red walls on both sides of the East Sixth Palace. ”
