The former emperor’s living quarters are now a tourist attraction for everyone to visit.
I am afraid that the emperor would not have thought that many years later, the palaces and pavilions that belonged to the royal family have now become places that ordinary people can visit with a little money.
Li Mu has been to the former imperial palace several times before, and every time he comes, his experience is different.
It was the first time he visited the palace. Li Mu was still young. He only thought that the palace was tall and covered an area that was scary. The rooms were next to each other. The floor tiles in the courtyard were incomplete and had pits and holes stepped on by people coming and going. There are no traces of it, and it looks extremely worn.
In the beginning, people were allowed to visit the Taihe Hall of the Qianqing Palace. Later, a barrier was put up outside the door, so you could only look at it from a distance. Later, even taking pictures was restricted. What kind of light was it? .
In short, this royal building is becoming more and more valuable, and the number of visitors seems to have exceeded the capacity of the building...
In this palace, some areas are not open to tourists. Some say it is due to disrepair and maintenance, some say it is evil, and there are various theories.
There are several courtyards in these places that are not open to the public, generally called cold palaces.
Li Mu now arrived in front of a cold palace.
Jingyang Palace!
It is said that many concubines died in this cold palace. It is very famous in history, and the name of this palace often appears in movies and TV series.
This is the most deserted courtyard among the six east and west palaces. After being neglected, most concubines will be sent to this courtyard to die in their old age.
This palace has never been open to tourists since the founding of the People's Republic of China.
"Jingyang Palace?"
Li Mu stood in front of Jingyang Palace with his hands behind his hands. He looked at the plaque in front of the door, shook his head and laughed: "We are in modern society, but there are still evil spirits in the cold palace. It's interesting!"
He stepped forward, and with one step, he was already in Jingyang Palace.
Although the gate of the palace has been sealed, Li Mu did not cross the wall. Instead, he directly used the space technique to break through the space and descended into the palace wall.
What you see is an extremely desolate scene.
The old trees are overgrown with branches, there are occasional broken rubbles among the weeds everywhere, the paint on the door is peeling off and rotting, the window frames are covered with spider silk, the doorposts are covered with dust, and there are many small holes drilled by snakes, insects, rats and ants on the wall.< /p>
This is a decaying and declining courtyard, just like the declining dynasty of the past.
This courtyard is deserted, but not deserted.
Apart from the absence of humans, there are other creatures living inside, the most common of which are snakes, rats, and weasels.
Li Mu visited Kyoto many times. One summer vacation, he wandered around Kyoto for more than half a month. He slept in the park at night and only ordered boiled water and bread for meals. It was at that time that he learned about the parks in Kyoto. There is a great diversity of creatures here, but the most common ones are weasels, stray cats and hedgehogs.
Especially weasels.
There are so many weasels in the parks in Yanjing City, especially in the Temple of Heaven and the Temple of Earth. The weasels here are not afraid of people at all. They play on the grass as if there is no one around, and people generally do not hurt them.
There are weasels in other places, and this palace is no exception.
"This place is quite shady and cool."
Li Mu stood in the courtyard of Jingyang Palace and walked forward slowly.
As he stepped forward, the grass in the courtyard gradually began to wither and scorch. After a while, the patches of grass turned into withered grass, and the withered grass turned into fly ash.
The rubble on the ground was also pushed in all directions by an invisible force, and the entire courtyard became refreshing and much cleaner in just a moment.
The main hall facing Li Mu had long been blocked by spider webs, but as Li Mu stepped closer, the dust and cobwebs on the door began to be blown away by the wind, revealing the mottled lines eroded by time.
The two doors that were originally closed began to open slowly, revealing the things in the hall to Li Mu's eyes.
In ordinary people's experience, this abandoned courtyard must be empty of people and nothing would exist.
After all, after the founding of the Xia Dynasty, when the palace was taken over, people would definitely be sent to inventory the contents. Since the cold palace was not open to the public and the door was sealed, the people from the court would naturally move everything out of the house. p>
Therefore, all that is left now are dilapidated and empty old houses.
But the rooms in Jingyang Palace are different from what normal people imagine.
After the palace door was opened, it turned out to be a splendid place, which was completely different from the desolate and dilapidated appearance outside.
The main hall is paved with Persian carpets, and there are golden nan furniture inside. Celebrity calligraphy and paintings are hung on the walls, and jade Ruyi, golden melons, and porcelain are placed on the tables.
There is an incense burner in the room, and there is an incense stick inserted in the burner. At this time, the incense stick has been lit, and it is emitting wisps of smoke. After smelling it, people feel a lot more peaceful.
It can be seen that this burning incense has a great origin.
The whole room is decorated in a very stylish way and is quite noble.
"It's interesting!"
Li Mu nodded slightly, came to the main hall, stepped on the carpet, and looked at the room on the side of the main hall.
There is a short couch in the side room. The couch is covered with a thick red blanket, and a pale yellow futon is placed on the blanket. Sitting on the futon is a weasel more than four feet tall.
This weasel is wearing a yellow mantle and a small melon-skin hat, with a small braid hanging down from the back of his head and wrapped around his neck.
Dressed like a citizen of the previous dynasty, he sat cross-legged on the futon. At first glance, he looked like a little Gege or a little Beile meditating.
At this time, it sat cross-legged, with its five hearts facing the sky, its eyes slightly narrowed, and smoke rising slowly above its head. In the smoke, there was a red pill floating in the air, standing three feet above its head, slowly
Rotate slowly, float and sink.
After sensing that Li Mu had entered the house, the yellow weasel opened his eyes with great difficulty, showing a human expression of extreme horror.
It seems to have reached a critical point in its cultivation. It is difficult to even stand up. Opening its eyes has consumed a lot of energy, so that the red demon pill suspended above its head rotates rapidly, making a buzzing sound, and wants to sink into the body. p>
Originally, the demon elixir had to slowly emerge from the body, and when it fell into the body, it had to slowly descend before it could sink into the top of the head and reach the Dantian. However, at this critical moment, the yellow weasel could not care less and could only forcefully withdraw the power. You must know that as a demon clan, the demon pill is the foundation of cultivation. Now that the demon pill is exposed, if it is snatched away by someone, hundreds of years of cultivation will be wiped out. This yellow weasel cannot help but be impatient.
But in the way of spiritual practice, the most taboo thing is to use force.
It was in such a hurry, but made a mistake in its hurry. The entire demon pill hovered above its head for a moment, instantly broke open the fontanelle and penetrated into the dantian. Because the power was too strong, its dantian was injured, and its true energy was scattered immediately. It couldn't help but let out a scream, and in its mouth
Blood spurted out wildly, and he looked up to the sky and fell down.
When he was about to fall, he uttered human words and said in a sharp voice: "You...who are you? Why are you ruining my practice!"
Poof!
Before it finished speaking, another mouthful of blood spurted out, and its body twitched.
Li Mu stood at the door of the side room without entering, and praised: "It's amazing! In the age of the end of the Dharma, you can actually cultivate into a spirit monster, and even condense the demon elixir. It's really amazing!"
He praised with his mouth and formed a seal with his hands: "Bind!"
A rune came out from his fingertips, instantly reached the top of the weasel's head, turned into a rope, strangled its neck, and lifted it up in the air, hanging on the beam.
"Just looking at your blood and the ghosts that haunt you, I know that you must have absorbed a lot of human essence to avoid death and prolong your life. Otherwise, how could you survive until now in the age of the end of the law? You monster, how many people have you killed?
Human, absorbed the essence and blood of a few living people?"
Li Mu took out a small knife and looked the weasel up and down: "The fur is quite smooth. Come on, turn around and let me see your tail."
He took out a small pocket with great interest: "I was just trying to refine a writing brush and give it to the old man to prescribe medicine. I happened to meet you. What a blessing!"
"Poof!"
The yellow weasel spirit was frightened and angry. It spat out a mouthful of blood again, struggled to get up, and aimed its two tails at Li Mu. A long furry tail suddenly lifted up, and then a stream of yellow smoke suddenly spurted out from its dung door.
, shot towards Li Mu like a sharp arrow.
Li Mu's expression changed drastically. The small bag in his hand shook and floated in the air. A suction force came out from the bag, sucking all the flying yellow smoke into the bag.
It's just that the quality of this bag is not high. It is something that Li Mu uses to practice his skills. It has no power. However, this puff of yellow smoke is the trump card of the yellow weasel spirit. Therefore, even though the yellow smoke is inhaled into the bag, after all, there is still a trace of smoke escaping.
Scattered out.
Boom!
After this trace of smoke escaped, it broke through the roof and instantly exploded in the air, turning into a thick fog that spread in all directions instantly.
The billowing smoke enveloped the entire capital in just a moment, and even spread from the capital to other satellite cities.
The largest air pollution incident in modern human history was born.
