Yang Jin Enters Beijing

It didn't take long to walk on the official road before I got on the small road, which gradually went higher and deeper into the mountains.

When he left the city gate, Li Yunsuo asked the soldiers defending the city for some torches. He lit them up and identified the path, but he didn't encounter any trouble.However, the mountain road is slippery and difficult to walk. This pampered "No. [-] Horse" has suffered a bit. It seems that it has never been on such a road, so the elegance of the small steps with its head held high at the beginning soon disappeared. Where did it go, it was very difficult to stumble and walk all the way.

When it was almost dawn, Li Yunsuo said, "Here we are."

In the huge shadow of the mountain, a house looms in it.

In the dark night, I can't see the specific appearance, only the heavy shadows, which should be very grand, but it looks very gloomy.

Because in the huge house, there was no human voice or human figure, only a few dim paper lanterns swaying in the wind, like a haunted house, a bit creepy.

Qi Yan and his guards set up guard posts around the perimeter, and Li Yunsuo and I came to hand over the horse to them.

"This is the summer palace built by the previous dynasty. In the past, His Majesty and the Empress often came here. After the Empress left, this is the first time for Your Majesty to come here." Li Yunsuo pointed to the house and said to me.

"Oh." I nodded.But this is not what I, a guard, should care about. What I care about is who will send the package in.

I took off the package and looked at Qi Yan.

Qi Yan shook her head at me, "We are not allowed to enter this palace, you can try it alone."

The Summer Palace is built next to the mountain, and there is a mountain stream in front of it. I can't tell how deep it is with a torch, but I can only hear the sound of water flowing, and I can vaguely see a waterfall hanging from the mountain wall. of.

There is a stone bridge across the mountain stream, Qi Yan pointed to the stone bridge to me as she spoke.

I walked up the stone bridge as I said.

After walking a few steps, "crack!" The torch in my hand made a crackling sound, and I raised my head, feeling drops of water splashing on my face and body.Is it raining?Or the splash of a waterfall?

I unbuttoned the skirt and wrapped the package with the clothes on my body to prevent the contents of it from getting wet.

After a few more steps forward, more and more water splashed over, and the torch finally went out with a hissing sound.

At this time, it was just before dawn, and the blackness before dawn is the darkest moment, just like the blackness of a snowstorm night on the plateau. Fortunately, I have not experienced this kind of darkness. I almost touched the railing of the stone bridge, shook it and it was firm, held on to the railing and continued walking, and passed the bridge in a short time.

Stepping on the ground, the gate of the Xiaoxing Palace is in front of you, and the dim yellow paper lanterns are still shaking, which is even more dim than it looks from a distance.

I raised my hand and tapped on the closed palace door a few times.

"Empty! Empty! Empty!..." Although I knocked lightly, the sound echoed in the empty mountain, one after another for a long time.

It took a long time for the echo to stop, but no one opened the door.

I took a deep breath and raised my hand to ring again.Why!The person who knocked on the door really didn't know whether he wanted the door to open or not, because the atmosphere really made people feel terrified. I was afraid that the next moment the door would open, there would be a female ghost with disheveled hair and red lips standing at the door.I am a coward!

I knocked on the door several times, but no one answered, so I stopped knocking. I leaned against a stone-carved beast on the head of the stone bridge outside the small palace. Stretching over there, I felt the cool water dripping on my palm.But where I stood, no water fell on my body, which was obviously not rain.

Looking up at the sky again, the sky was pitch black.It should be before dawn. Although the surrounding mountains block the line of sight and the morning star cannot be seen, I estimate that it will be several hours before dawn.

Then wait here!I simply stayed at the door, leaning on the stone beast and sitting on the ground.

It's been almost a whole night now, and I'm so sleepy that when I sit down, I can't stop my eyes from opening.

"Why don't you go?" The sudden voice in my ear made me stagger and fall to the ground.

I don't know when the door opened, and Lei Fengyu was standing in front of me.

"Your Majesty!" I quickly got up.

"Why don't you stay with Qi Yan and the others?" Lei Fengyu asked me.

"The burden will get wet." I pointed to the package I was holding in my arms, and shook off my wet clothes that were hanging on the stone beast.If I walk the stone bridge again, I have nothing to cover my package from getting wet!

"If you don't leave if I give you a chance, then come in." He said.Then I turned around and walked into the gate of the small palace, I shook my head, what did he say to give me a chance?Maybe I'm too sleepy to hear?Without thinking too much, he followed in.

This palace is really not small, but I don't know if it is built according to the mountain, the paths are all like winding intestines, so after walking for a while, it is hard to tell the difference between east, west and north.

Lei Fengyu finally stopped in one place and walked into a room.

I was about to follow, but stopped suddenly.

My feet stopped in front of the snow-white carpet at the door of the house, and then I took two steps back slowly.

"Zhuang Zhuang asked me to bring the armor that His Majesty will wear when hunting tomorrow." I took the package from my back and pushed it in.

"You come in too." Lei Fengyu's voice came in from the room.

"My shoes are dirty, so I won't go in." I said.

"Don't talk nonsense." The voice inside said impatiently.

"Al!" All I could say was yes.Looking at the white carpet, I hesitated between smelly feet and dirty boots, and finally chose to take off my boots.

As expected, before he could see where Lei Fengyu was, he heard a loud shout: "Come here, take a bath with fragrant soup."

I didn't see a single person along the way, and at this time, several people came out of nowhere, some carrying buckets, some carrying water, and some picking my clothes.

This scene is very familiar, and it is not the first time. There is a saying in the Central Plains: A dead pig is not afraid of boiling water.I simply didn't open my eyes this time, and let them toss.

After a while, the surroundings became quiet, there was no sound of water or footsteps, and it was so quiet that breathing could be heard.

The sound of a breath rang right in front of my eyes, and I could even feel the hot air from my exhalation on my face.

I opened my eyes, and I was facing Lei Fengyu's sparkling eyes.

I was stunned, not because I was surprised to see Lei Fengyu, but because every time I met his eyes, I would be stunned, and I don't know why.

The strange thing is that this time Lei Fengyu stared at me and immediately became dazed.

So, you were stunned and I was also stunned, so the two of them started to be stunned at each other.

It was I who came back to my senses first and shrank my neck back, "Your Majesty."

"En." Lei Fengyu also shrank his neck back.

Click!Click!I heard two clicks from his neck.

Well!I was sitting in the bathtub, Lei Fengyu was bending over and stretching his neck to look at me, I was so tired of his neck.

As if to cover up her embarrassment, Lei Fengyu snorted, and put a cloth towel on my head: "The stone bridge is very humid, you soak for a while, and the cold in your body will be dissipated. Come out." After saying that, he turned and walked out.

The eunuchs who carried the hot water also left at some point, and I was the only one left in the room.

I looked around, the room was very spacious, and the huge candlesticks were filled with tallow candles, illuminating the room brightly.

This should be Lei Fengyu's bedroom in this palace, because it smells the same fragrance as in Ziwei Palace, other than that, I can't taste any good or bad. Of course, the emperor used very very stuff.

I soaked in very warm water, waited until every pore in my body was warmly stretched, then wiped the water on my body with that very soft cloth towel, stepped out of the bathtub, and stepped on it. On the white carpet of unknown fur, it feels like stepping on the cloud, stepping on the cloud, leaning close to the small incense burner of Baiyu, fanning his nose and sniffing a few breaths of the very fragrant smoke from the incense burner , but saw a painting on the table where the incense burner was placed.

The painting was half unrolled, and it was bright red at first glance.

I thought the painting was some kind of flower, but upon closer inspection, it was a person lying on the ground with blood dripping from his eyes, ears, mouth and nose. The blood seemed to be endless, dyeing the whole picture The thick red seems to overflow from the painting.

I have also seen this kind of thing in the thangkas of Tubo temples, which describe scenes like hell.

"Om Mani Padme Hum, may you get out of the sea of ​​suffering as soon as possible." I read a sentence to the painting.

"It was carved from a stone carving in an ancient temple in India." Lei Fengyu came back at some unknown time, and stood beside me silently.

When people come to this small palace, do they have to be haunted?I wondered in my heart, this place is scary enough, can it not be like this.

"The god enshrined in that temple is said to be able to grant a person's wish, but he has to pay a price afterwards." He pointed to the man in the painting, "That's the price, the blood is shed, and the soul will fall into hell forever and cannot be reborn." Lei Feng Yu looked at me, "Did you make a wish to him just now?"

"This, this is an evil god!" I shook my hands in fright, clanging!The incense burner was knocked down by me, and the incense ash with sparks in the burner fell on the painting.

"Ah!" I quickly raised the incense burner, and then patted the ash of sparks on the painting with my hands.Fortunately, the drawing paper is very thick and there is not much damage.

Lei Fengyu said at this time: "I don't know how you Tubo people define whether you are an evil god or not. Isn't the Tianyin goddess you believe in evil? She tricked innocent people into going to the snow mountain in the name of seeing their dead relatives. Let them die on the mountain, isn't it to let these people act as scapegoats in exchange for her lover's rebirth?"

I was terrified, "No, it's not what His Majesty said, Goddess Tianyin is an upright and kind god."

"Integrity and kindness? People in the world still say that I am a good emperor who is upright and kind!" Lei Fengyu laughed. The light of the butter candle danced in his eyes, reflecting a red light, "This evil god is called Balrog I know three people who made oaths to him, and two of them have complied with the results of the oath and died unexpectedly, leaving the last one unknown."

"Is it General Long?" I asked.

"Yes." Lei Fengyu said: "Back then, Ah Yue made a wish to the Balrog, and sacrificed his own blood to the Balrog to prove the oath." Lei Fengyu pointed to my hand.

When I heard this, I spread my palms in front of my eyes.There is some red on the palm of my hand, I thought it was the paint on the scroll, but when I looked closely, I found a small wound on my palm.

I turned my head to look at the censer, and there was a pointed cone in the hollowed-out incense censer, its tip protruded a little from the censer, and it was extremely sharp and cold.I was stabbed by it inadvertently when I lifted it up just now.

And I looked at the drawing paper again, the drawing paper was a piece of red, but I believe that when I slapped the incense ash just now, my blood had already stained the painting.

From the time I met the first horse of Tianyu, Lei Fengyu left suddenly, then Zhuang Zhuang asked me to deliver things, and then Li Yunsuo brought me here, until I made a wish without knowing why, and let the blood out. They are all designed by Lei Fengyu!I realized it belatedly.

"You are so similar to him that I confuse them from time to time. You may also be able to deceive ghosts and gods." Lei Fengyu stood behind me and said, "I have no other way. Going to have a try."
