Zhong's Anecdote

Only then did Zhong Liang turn his gaze back to his master, "Do you know who that old Wu is?"

"Gatekeeper?"

"Do you know how the gatekeepers of the palace have all died?"

"Old and dead?"

Zhong Liang rolled his eyes and said, "No, they were eaten clean by all the ghosts in the Forbidden City and died."

Zhong Huaming, "Huh?"

"Ah what! This gatekeeper has made a contract with the ghosts in the palace since he was a child. He will not leave the palace as long as the gatekeeper lives. This will be eaten by this ghost."

"How could there be such a contract?"

"It's similar to those Miao people raising Gu. The Gu worm lives on the flesh and blood of the person who raised him. The gatekeeper is raised by these ghosts in front of him. When he dies, he will naturally be taken back by the ghost."

Zhong Huaming nodded, "But what you said is not right. You must know that the feudal dynasty was overthrown only for more than 100 years. Even if the gatekeeper died at the age of 40, the gatekeeper would only have four generations at most. Since Old Wu knew about this contract, And why do those things?"

Zhong Liang was slightly taken aback, "But..."

Zhong Huaming smiled, "Although you are smart, Xiao Liang, don't think everything is so bad, maybe this old Wu is really just a gatekeeper who knows nothing! Besides, there is Catherine, the biggest goal. Blocking it in front."

Zhong Liang, who said that the little cat doesn't hold grudges?This is definitely very vengeful!

After the two finished their meal, all the passengers in the palace had left. After the last batch of employees cleaned up the garbage left by the passengers during the day, the palace returned to its usual calm.

But Zhong Huaming and Qi Tianyao followed Lao Wu into the palace again after everyone went out.

The autumn night brings a bit of cool wind to this ancient building, without the hustle and bustle of the day, walking on the ground paved with bluestone slabs makes people feel as if they are passing through.

After Lao Wu sent the two of them in, he returned to the lounge at the door, while Zhong Huaming looked at Qi Tianyao beside him, feeling a little embarrassed and didn't know what to say.

It seemed that he knew Zhong Huaming's embarrassment, and Qi Tianyao, who had never talked much, didn't know what to say, so the two of them walked, walked, and walked according to the route that Old Wu led the two of them before...

The ancient building gradually came to life. In the corridors, beautiful women played with each other. The guards patrolled in an orderly manner. The maids were doing their own things and chatting from time to time. After seeing the eunuch who was watching over her, she quickly lowered his head.

And the road they walked during the day seemed to become blurred, and when the two walked to the route they remembered, they could only encounter a wall.

Qi Tianyao raised his eyebrows, "A ghost hit the wall?"

Zhong Huaming looked at the women playing with each other with great interest, "No, it's the way of the underworld."

I don't know who said it, but the underworld and the human world are like two sides of a mirror. For people in the yang world, the mirror is the yang world, and for the people of the underworld, the mirror is the yang world.

As a representative of a country, the Imperial Palace was the symbol of the Son of Heaven in ancient times. As far as the Dao of Heaven is concerned, the Son of Heaven is the darling of the Dao of Heaven. Naturally, the Imperial Palace is also the place where the Dragon Qi is the most prosperous in the world. The blessed land cannot be separated from the relationship, but because of the love of heaven, this palace is also the hub connecting the underworld and the yang. If the emperor is still there, this lock is a deadlock. If the emperor is not there, then, I can only, hehe.

"Where did we end up going?"

"Concubine Shu's well." Qi Tianyao replied.

Zhong Huaming nodded, "Sure enough, I guessed right."

"The underworld?"

Zhong Huaming didn't say a word, but quickly walked towards the girls who were playing with each other, lowered his head, and said in ancient manner, "Ladies and gentlemen, well."

The women who were playing with each other were slightly taken aback, looked at Zhong Huaming, they all hid behind the stone pillars in the corridor, poked their heads out cautiously, and asked, "What are you doing?"

Zhong Huaming was taken aback for a moment, "Xiaosheng is a new imperial guard who is lost by the beautiful scenery. May I ask my ladies, where is the direction of the Golden Temple?"

The women looked at each other, pointed to the right direction, "That."

"Thank you ladies." After speaking, he pulled Qi Tianyao to the side and left.

Qi Tianyao said coldly beside him, "Why do you ask those women, why don't you ask those men?" He pointed to the guards around him while speaking.

Zhong Huaming covered his head and said, "Then what reason should I look for? Besides, even if these women are ghosts, they didn't have any fighting power in life, did they? These guards can all be good players, in case I'm wrong What should I do if I am besieged by them?"

"Then there's no need to ask, we can just look for it."

"...Then go find it yourself, I'll go back first."

Qi Tianyao,...

The two walked straight to the right along the corridor, and within a few dozen steps, the corridor became distorted in the eyes of the two, and it didn't take long for the corridor to look like an ancient well again.

Zhong Huaming was slightly taken aback, did he say something wrong?

The woman's giggling laughter rang in her ears, "Little guard, don't rush to leave, why don't you play with me!"

As soon as Zhong Huaming turned his head, he saw a corroded grimace. The female ghost's headdress was very beautiful, her long hair reached her waist, and the clothes on her body were as new as before, but none of these could conceal the woman's face, which had already It became black and white, and it seemed that maggots crawled through the carrion, which was very terrifying, and the white teeth were particularly terrifying in this opening and closing.

As soon as this grimace approached, Zhong Huaming was so frightened that he couldn't help but take a few steps back, stepped on Qi Tianyao's ankle, his body was unstable and almost fell, but he was indeed supported by Qi Tianyao, and Qi Tianyao turned his head to look at the perfect and ugly combination The woman looked cold, "What are you playing?"

The female ghost who had already stretched out her hand to pull Zhong Huaming back paused slightly, as if looking at the person in front of her in disbelief, she suddenly covered her face, and began to cry, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, this is not a concubine." Your Majesty, don't look at your concubine like that! Your Majesty..."

Zhong Huaming,...

And as the female ghost cried, the women who played with her before also appeared beside the woman, knelt beside the woman, and kowtowed to Qi Tianyao in different ways, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I don't know that your Majesty is coming. I dare not..."

I said, what are these empresses afraid of, dare not?

Qi Tianyao seemed to have the same doubts, "Don't dare to do anything?"

Those women glanced at Zhong Huaming cautiously, and quickly turned their eyes away, "I don't know that this young man belongs to His Majesty, if I know, I won't dare to touch you even if I have a hundred guts, please read it, Your Majesty." The concubine didn't hurt the young master, and for the sake of showing the way for the young master, let the concubine go once, and the concubine will never dare again."

"You want to enjoy this person privately?" Qi Tianyao suddenly asked, thinking of the legends of ghosts and cannibals in those mountain stories.

The woman shook her body, "I don't dare, I just feel that the breath of this young man makes me very comfortable, and I want to keep this young man to study first, and when I have studied it thoroughly, I will naturally send him to Your Majesty, go there."

"Then, you can help me send him there now!" After Qi Tianyao finished speaking, he let go of Zhong Huaming's arms, and stood coldly at the side, looking at the women kneeling on the ground.

"Send, send it over?"

"What? No?"

"No, no, yes, yes, the concubine will send the young master to your majesty, but you, your majesty?"

"I will go with you."

"That…."

"Capital crimes can be avoided, but living crimes cannot be escaped. After the person is sent there, he will go to the execution hall to receive the punishment."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Several people got up, went to Zhong Huaming's expression, and carefully glanced at Qi Tianyao who was on the side. Seeing that he still had an expressionless face, they didn't dare to approach Zhong Huaming, but saluted around him, "My lord, please follow me."
