The flashing light in front of the palace floated from far to near, rising and falling, just like a person holding a lantern in his hand, bouncing back and forth. This description is really correct at all.
Because the flickering light was indeed a lantern, and it was indeed carried by someone.
"Ugh!" Han Shuhua and Cao Haoran's faces suddenly turned pale. A numbing feeling extended from the soles of their feet to their heads. Their scalps suddenly exploded, and layers of goosebumps appeared on their bodies.
The ones holding the lanterns were the maids from the deep palace courtyard of the Qing Dynasty. They seemed to be quite young. They were wearing typical harem costumes, with heavy headdresses on their heads and wooden flag shoes on their feet. Because their feet were bound, they walked
He walked very slowly and his body trembled, as if he was walking with his crotch tucked between his legs.
This is a whole team of palace maids. The leader is holding a lantern, followed by seven people. They are walking at the same pace and swinging their hands at the same frequency. Their heads are held high and their faces are expressionless. The skin on their faces is like scraping a white wall.
Not a bit of noise.
Cao Haoran lowered his head and glanced below the group of maids. After taking a closer look with the faint light of the lantern, his head was completely blown.
"There is no shadow, they have no shadow"
This is common sense. Everyone knows that no matter it is day or night, as long as a person is exposed to light, his shadow will be revealed. If a person cannot reveal his shadow, there is only one possibility. Ghosts have no shadow.
Han Shuhua was so frightened that his teeth chattered. His face was pale, he stretched out his hand to grab Cao Haoran's arm and cried, "What should I do? What should I do? It turns out that the legend is true that there are really supernatural events at night in the Forbidden City. Think about it quickly."
There's a way, they're coming this way."
At this time, Han Shuhua was filled with regret. He regretted his willfulness and impulsiveness, and paid the price for his curiosity. This scene alone frightened her half to death, and her heart was already in her throat.
If she was given another chance to choose, Han Shuhua would definitely choose to follow Coster back to Tsinghua University.
The group of palace maids walked straight towards the three of them, getting closer and closer to them with neat steps. Cao Haoran forced himself to be calm and said: "Let's go, let's go quickly, they are here."
"
"I, I want to leave too, but, my feet can't move," Han Shuhua said with sobs.
"I can't walk anymore," Cao Haoran said in a broken voice.
Both of their feet were weak and they could not take a single step.
The group of palace maids and the three of them were facing each other at this time. Suddenly, Han Shuhua and Cao Haoran noticed that the eyes of the palace maids seemed to be looking towards them all, and there was even a sense of mutual opposition between them.
The feeling of sight.
"Go away." Cao An, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly opened his mouth and shouted at the approaching maid, "Go away, stay away from our courtyard."
"Huh!" After Cao An said this, the group of palace maids turned their heads elsewhere at the same time, then changed their bodies and walked past them with lanterns in hand.
When the eight palace maids passed by the three of them, Cao Haoran and Han Shuhua did not dare to turn around and look at them. They could only glance at them with their peripheral vision. They were so close that they could see all the details clearly.
Chu, these palace maids look more real than the actors on TV, as if they have traveled through time to the Qing Palace.
After a while, the maid holding the lantern walked away and then disappeared.
"Huh..." Han Shuhua and Cao Haoran breathed a sigh of relief at the same time. They felt that the clothes on their bodies were getting soaked. In a few minutes, their clothes had been soaked with sweat.
After coming back to his senses, Han Shuhua glanced at Cao An, who was as if nothing had happened, and said, "Actually, I am much more interested in him now than in the Forbidden City."
"This brother of mine is just like A Hundred Thousand Whys. It's so intriguing." Cao Haoran sighed irritably, and then asked: "Are we still going in? I think we should go back the way we came."
"Um, um, um let's go, let's go" Han Shuhua nodded hurriedly, she didn't want to stay in there for a moment.
"You can't get out, that place is sealed," Cao An said next to him.
"What, why can't we get out? Can't we get out from where we came in?" Han Shuhua asked through gritted teeth with a cold sweat.
"Can't get out, it's sealed." Cao An repeated what he just said.
"No, why? Can't we just go back the way we came? Just walk out the same way you came in," Cao Haoran said a little anxiously.
Cao An continued to shake his head firmly. Han Shuhua pursed his lips and said, "Believe him. In the Forbidden City, I think it is right to believe him."
"Hey, what should we do otherwise?" Cao Haoran frowned and asked: "Brother An, can you tell me why you seem to have a brain problem when you encounter this kind of thing? In the village, you took Grandpa from Old Man Wang
I rescued you from my hands. You seem to know a lot of things in the Forbidden City this time. What’s going on?”
"Ah? I don't know either." Cao An thought for a while, and suddenly felt that his head was about to explode with a splitting headache. He covered his head with both hands and said with a little pain: "I just feel very familiar, as if I have known it before.
, I can also feel that there are many things around us in this place, everywhere, everywhere.”
"Ugh!" Cao Haoran and Han Shuhua, who had just recovered, turned pale again. They looked around nervously and said, "It's everywhere? It's everywhere? Brother, don't scare us."
Cao An suddenly stretched out his finger, pointed behind Cao Haoran and said: "Here, there is someone wearing a robe and a tall hat behind you, very close to you."
"Ouch..." Cao Haoran jumped up and hugged Cao An, saying with a sad face: "Brother An, I beg you, okay? Even if you know, don't say anything, it's too damn intrusive."
Cao An waved his hand out of the air and said lightly: "Go away, stay away from us."
Cao Haoran was stunned for a moment, stiff and did not dare to move.
Han Shuhua swallowed and said: "I felt a little cold just now, and then...it seems much better now, really."
Half of Han Shuhua's feelings were psychological, and the other half was due to the fact that just now, a eunuch in Qing attire appeared behind her and Cao Haoran, holding a Buddha in his hand who could be sixty or seventy years old.
, with a pale face, stood less than one meter behind them.
At this time, if Cao An returns to normal and changes back to Xiangque, he will feel that the Forbidden City in this late night will be a little interesting.
