The legend about the ghosts in the Forbidden City has not stopped until today. The West Sixth Palace is the residence of the harem concubines in the Qing Dynasty. How many weird stories happened there, and how many unjust souls died there, there is no way to verify it.
The Forbidden City we are familiar with will close at five o'clock every day to clear the visitors, and the clearing depends on big wolf dogs, because from this moment on, the Yin Qi in the Forbidden City will become very strong...
Yes, it is "yin qi", eerie, chilling and strange feeling, even if the sun has not completely set, in this place where a lot of lingering resentment has gathered, if you walk into the dark, empty and uninhabited place alone If you are in the palace, you will deeply understand this.
In fact, what we usually see is only a part of the Forbidden City. There are still a large number of places in the Forbidden City that are not open to the public. For the specific reason, you have to ask the relevant authorities. Of course, even if you get the answer, it may not be possible. will satisfy you.
In short, the rumors will not stop, but those who have been on the night shift in the Forbidden City, or those who have stayed in the Forbidden City at night, can tell one or two weird stories that make your hair stand on end.
For example, in the middle of the night, the lonely souls in the palace of unjust death wander in a narrow path. This is the famous "Yin and Yang Road" in the Sixth West Palace. is a group).
It is said that in the early years of liberation, there was a case in which a person who stayed overnight in the Forbidden City mysteriously disappeared, as if he had evaporated from the world, leaving no trace. The public security department also set up a special case team to investigate this case. Maybe younger readers don’t understand why an ordinary missing persons case would be so labor-intensive. Of course, it’s not because the public security organs are particularly keen on the investigation of supernatural events. Our party is a resolute materialist, and some gossip cannot be a reason for setting up a special case. In fact, the handling of this case in this way has a lot to do with the historical background at that time.
In those years, catching spies was the thing that the public security department did the most. In fact, according to my personal understanding of that period of history, the proportion of spies at that time may have far exceeded people's imagination... For example, if you go out to work today, Say hello to Uncle Zhang who delivered the newspaper at the door, well, please note that this uncle probably has the rank of second lieutenant. Then you took the milk from the mailbox and rode your bicycle to work. On the way, you stopped for a while and bought two buns from Aunt Li as usual. Here you have to pay attention , Aunt Li is a sergeant, the main member of a special operations team, and her on-line is Uncle Zhang who delivers newspapers. Then, when you arrive at the unit, Lao Chen, the concierge, greets you warmly. You should feel honored. He is also a second lieutenant. Finally, you came to the factory building and started a day's work. Your team leader came to your back very amiably, patted your shoulder, and said to you: "Young man, work hard, but don't work too hard. Pay attention to the combination of work and rest." This guy is amazing, with the rank of captain, he is under the direct leadership of the Military Security Bureau, and all the spies you have met since you left in the morning are all his offlines.
I said this, maybe you will find it funny, but it is absolutely true, and this period of history is not too far away from us, some of these people can not be regarded as spies, and they may have "lurked" for thirty years I haven't received any contact in the past year, nor have I taken any action. The reason why Zhang San Li Si Wang Er Mazi all have high military ranks is because a certain party has reached the point of being in a hurry to go to the doctor when it retreats. Political trials and training are all saved. Bar, yes, you are a lurking officer, waiting for orders from Taiwan at any time, until the day we come back from the counterattack, it will definitely benefit you!
This day is not coming...
In short, there were so many spies back then, too many to catch. Once the public security organs discovered some sensitive incidents, they would link the case with those extremists with ulterior motives. Of course, this is understandable. Departments, power departments, postal departments, grain warehouses, wherever there is trouble, there may be bad elements plotting wrongdoing, and there must be no negligence in this.
Where is the Forbidden City? The important historical and cultural heritage of the Chinese nation, the peaceful liberation of Beiping, in addition to avoiding bloodshed, the more important historical significance is that the Forbidden City was preserved and was not destroyed by the fierce artillery fire of modern wars. Therefore, if you don't pay attention to the cases that happened here, it is impossible!
It may be a bit far-fetched, and I went on to talk about the case back then. It’s fine if I don’t investigate it. After an investigation... the result is quite amazing, and the report is basically like this... It was a late summer evening, with strong winds and heavy rain. Another investigator was squatting under the eaves. Suddenly, there was a burst of lightning and thunder, which illuminated the night sky as bright as day. At this time, a woman's shadow appeared on the wall of an alley, as if she was bending over to grab something. There are things, but when we get closer, there is nothing, and it doesn't seem to be the reflection of a branch. On the same night, around two or three o'clock in the morning, we heard women's cries uninterruptedly, sometimes far away, sometimes behind us, and sometimes it even felt like they were crying in our ears...
You said, if you were a leader, how would you feel when you saw this report
So the case is just left alone, the report may be torn up, or it may be sealed forever. In short, the matter will gradually be forgotten, and only the lingering shadow will remain in people's hearts...
Looking at the big pale face on the ceiling, Wang Xu was amazed, but he really admired this ghost's appearance. If these girls were in today's society, if they went to stop on the bustling street, they would definitely be A group of artists...
The female ghost has no eyebrows on her face, and she keeps spitting out black liquid from her mouth. She clings to the beam with her hands and wriggles and crawls strangely. There is nothing below her knees, but the part that should be connected to the calf The area is now a complete piece of skin, which makes people feel even more terrifying, because the injuries suffered by ghosts before death will appear on the appearance of wronged souls. The eye is an eyeless ghost, after being hanged, it will naturally be in the shape of a long tongue. But for the one in front of her, the limbs below the knees didn't look like they were bleeding and rotting, as if she had already looked like this when she was alive...
Master Mao said: "It's just at this time... that you wandered to this place..."
Wang Xu's eyes never left the female ghost, he turned his head slightly towards Master Cat: "Hey... you can take care of this..."
Master Cat put the coffin aside, closed the door, and sighed: "The appearance of this female ghost has broken the 'game' here, and now the yin is too heavy. Before midnight, we must get rid of the yin and yang here." Get back into balance."
"I don't understand what you are saying..."
"Midnight is the time of the child, and in the twelve earthly branches, the yang is the water, so we occupy the yang in the sky, and this place lives in an extremely sinister woman, and her fate is in the west. Her 'yin' is strong enough Fighting against the weather, so in the 'geographical advantage', we occupy the Yin." Master Mao said while laying out the coffin made by Tang Wenwu, and when the coffin was placed in the middle of the room, there was a Taiji mark in it Slowly emerging, its outline became clearer.
"Heaven belongs to pure yang, stems are three-linked, earth belongs to pure yin, kun has six divisions, and people are born with one of the five elements. No matter which one, they have both yin and yang. Although there are tendencies, pure yin does not grow, and pure yang No life." He held his breath and concentrated, and slowly poured his spiritual power into the Tai Chi imprint, and Tang Wenwu's invention began to move further, "Heaven, earth, and human beings have all reached a state of balance, and you can peek into the heaven-defying seal." The shortcut, even if you travel through time and space, is no problem."
The corner of Wang Xu's mouth twitched: "Please speak humanly..."
Master Cat glanced at the female ghost on the beam again, she didn't seem to want to attack anyone, the eunuch was just fainted from the fright of her appearance.
"You go, stay away from here."
The female ghost was very obedient, she crawled towards the wall, and then disappeared into the wall.
"Tch... there are too many coincidences tonight, and now the yin energy belonging to the 'human' vein in this room is too heavy, and the time travel cannot be carried out stably." Master Cat paused when he said this, Then he smiled slyly, as if he remembered something, and continued: "Fortunately, there is no way to remedy it..."
Wang Xu was too familiar with that smile, that look, that tone of voice, it was obvious that he was about to suffer again...
"What do you want..." Wang Xu was like a woman from a good family who was molested in the street, but Master Cat's lewd eyes had already made him retreat a few steps and stood in the corner of the room.
"Hey... your destiny is fire, so you are more yang, and you are a virgin..."
Wang Xu looked at Master Cat with terrified eyes: "You want to take me as a life sacrifice?"
Master Cat suddenly regained his lazy expression: "No, you just need to prick your finger and use your spiritual power to urge a few drops of blood to drip on this Taiji seal."
"Damn! Scared me!" Wang Xu breathed a sigh of relief, and walked towards the coffin: "It's just a few drops..."
Before he finished speaking, Master Cat pulled out four scalpels and stabbed him in the thigh.
Wang Xu's expression is really exciting, needless to say the pain, at most the muscles on his face are a little stiff... But the unwillingness to be fooled by others, and the remorse of being fooled many times but not learning the lesson are completely on his side. It was revealed in the bloodshot eyes.
After a while, Wang Xu probably had a washbasin of blood on the Taiji seal, Master Cat finally pulled out the scalpel, and said very calmly: "It's almost there, it should be enough."
Wang Xu looked at him and said, "I thought of a very apt metaphor to describe your personality..."
"Oh? What is it?"
"First, you kill a man, and after his funeral, you dance on his grave..."
Master Cat is actually very useful to this kind of sarcasm: "It's just a part of who I am, and it may be a kinder part."
Wang Xu said with a dry smile, "Okay... I have a kind of kind... I guess if you move to Gordon City, Batman will be in trouble."
Master Cat's preparations seemed to be almost done, he said to Wang Xu: "Stop talking nonsense, put your hands on my shoulders, there have been enough accidents tonight, this last step must not fail."
The wound on Wang Xu's leg has begun to heal. He put one hand on Master Cat's shoulder: "If I'm not wrong, after completing this time travel, you will lose your combat effectiveness in the next few days."
Master Cat smiled and said, "Hmph...it doesn't matter, according to your logic, the boat will go straight to the bridge, right?"
Wang Xu also laughed. They acted as two passers-by in this strange historical bridge, without leaving any historical records. Maybe they are indeed "just a legend", but the lives of many people have become different because of them. .

Jack the Ripper disappeared completely in November 1888. Just as he appeared, he disappeared from people's sight and was forgotten very quickly. A year later, it was already a new topic on European dinner tables.
The young police officer Grant Amberley completely withdrew from the Ripper case. Facts proved that his choice was right. When the British royal family gradually lost patience and began to condemn the police for their ineffectiveness in early 1889, Amberley took office smoothly. Promoted several grades and became the youngest director of Scotland Yard. It is worth mentioning that shortly after he became the director, he promoted an old police officer who was not very outstanding in the eyes of the outside world as his deputy. This straightforward guy is Henry Bart...
In November 1897, the "Caozhou Church Incident" occurred in Shandong, and two German missionaries, Franz Niez and Richard Heule, were beaten to death by villagers who broke into the church. Although the cause of this incident is unknown, it is a historical necessity. This is the ultimate manifestation of the intensification of conflicts between the great powers and ordinary people. It was this incident that opened the prelude to a famous movement in the future.
One year later, the Boxer Rebellion rises rapidly, and China will usher in a catastrophe—the Boxer Rebellion. This is a large-scale mass violence campaign against Western people in China, including missionaries in China and Chinese Christians, under the slogan of "Helping the Qing Dynasty and destroying the foreigners".
More than 240 foreign missionaries and more than 20,000 Chinese Christians died, and many Chinese who had nothing to do with the church were killed by the Boxers. The number far exceeded the murdered Christians, and it is difficult to count...
In the end, everything ended in August 1900, when the Eight-Power Allied Forces broke through the city of Beijing, putting an end to the farce of the late Qing government. China entered the twentieth century with the humiliation of the fall of its capital...
Many people fell in the long river of history, without any waves.
Pang Er, Lu Quan, Feng Liu, who are these people? Who knows... When they died, they might think, where is that kid back then? Haven't seen him for many years, maybe he's back in Western Europe? Maybe he was killed by the Boxers too? Godfather... Is there really someone who can protect everyone? That's probably the only God that those old foreign men talked about.
…
Leaving aside the rest of the story, it is useless to say more in the preface, Wang Xu let out a sigh of relief, "Farewell to this unlucky era..."
Master Cat smiled and said, "Let's go! Let's go back to the future!"
