escape the nightmare

Chapter 18 The Imperial City

Lin Feng suddenly opened his eyes and woke up.

it's a dream...

He opened the curtains to let the sun shine in.Today is still a sunny day, and the sound of hawking has followed the hawkers walking through the streets and alleys in the entire ancient city.

Lin Feng glanced at the phone in a daze. Since he fell asleep at some point last night, the video was probably still playing. Now the phone is completely out of battery and turned off.He reached out and groped on the bedside table, found the charger, plugged it in, and turned on the phone.

Lin Feng was a little surprised that it was already nine o'clock.

Putting down his phone, he rubbed his aching temples, lifted the quilt and got up.

That woman... is Yingyan?

He remembered dreaming of Yingyan last night. In the dream, Yingyan was wearing a splendid dress and a phoenix crown.Lin Feng can't remember exactly what kind of clothing it was, but the overall color did give him an extremely strong visual impact.Especially her bright red lips were as red as if they had been smeared with blood, which made it hard for Lin Feng to forget.

Is it because he fell asleep watching Ban Lao's "Yingyan Opera" last night?

He brushed his teeth absently, while looking at himself in the mirror, while still thinking about last night's dream.

The self in the mirror looked extremely tired, his hair was messy, and his whole body exuded a listless aura.

Lin Feng splashed cold water on his face, forced a smile in front of the mirror, and forced himself to cheer up.He briefly combed his hair and changed into a more formal suit.Today, he made an appointment with Lao Ma to go to the imperial city to feel the atmosphere, and at the same time to visit the source of inspiration of the Horror company - Yingyan costumes at night.

Just as Lin Feng took care of himself, there was a knock on the door.The old horse came on time, and when Lin Feng opened the door, he saw the breakfast that the old horse had bought for him.

Lin Feng thanked him, had breakfast in a hurry, and went out with the old horse.

Lao Ma continued his usual chattering style, and along the way he gave Lin Feng a lot of anecdotes about the ancient city.The old horse also deliberately lowered his voice, pretending to be deep in his ear: "Do you think that the temperature in the ancient city is always lower than other places in the country..."

Lin Feng was startled by the old horse's head approaching suddenly, and took a small step to the side to avoid bumping into the old horse.

Lin Feng didn't pay attention at first, but after being told by the old horse, he realized that it was true.Even though it was July, the temperature here was not even [-] degrees. At home, Lin Feng would have to rely on the air conditioner to continue his life, but there was no air conditioner host on the outer wall of the house here.There are even few people fanning on the road, especially when the wind blows at night, Lin Feng has to put on a thin long sleeve.

"You know Yingyan, the mistress there." The old horse pouted in the direction of the imperial city.

"I heard that when the country was destroyed, people regarded her as a concubine and the culprit. You didn't know it. It is said that she was spurned by thousands of people at that time. Everyone wanted to tear her down and call her a monster. Yes, they came to steal the dragon veins of their dynasty. They also said they would take her..."

"Stop, stop, stop!" Lin Feng really couldn't bear the old horse's idle pretending to be a ghost and frighten others, so he took advantage of the old horse's chatterbox and shouted to stop in time.But he suddenly felt that this seemed a little impolite, so he quickly added: "Then where is she at the end?"

"Finally?" The old horse didn't seem to mind that Lin Feng skipped directly to the core of the ghost story, but was excited because Lin Feng was interested in the outcome of his story, "What can we do in the end, five-horse-divided-corpse Let's go." He deliberately emphasized those four words, and dragged the ending sound too long.

"Because of this, before she died, she swore a poisonous oath and cursed the entire ancient city. At that time, it was heard that all the aborigines in the entire ancient city turned into ghosts like her overnight, all missing arms and legs."

Lin Feng's heart skipped a beat.

Lao Ma seemed very satisfied that he had scared Lin Feng, so he suddenly laughed.In order to express comfort, he patted Lin Feng on the shoulder: "Just kidding. The temperature here is low because of the terrain. There are no ghosts or ghosts. Besides, you are young and have a strong yang energy, so you are afraid of ghosts and gods."

Lin Feng: "...Oh." He really didn't want to pay attention to the old horse anymore, he even wanted to drag Xiao Chen over and ask her if she deliberately arranged for the old horse to punish him.

However, due to the eloquent and emotional narration of the old horse, this story still left a little impression in Lin Feng's mind.

While the two of them were talking eloquently and the other absent-mindedly chatting, they had arrived at the entrance of the imperial city scenic spot in a blink of an eye.

Lin Feng had to sigh, some things are just so magical.Looking at the imperial city from a distance, it can only be said that the structure is very regular and the houses are well arranged, but when he really stood in front of this ancient building, he was really shocked by the majesty of the imperial city.

Lao Ma took his work card to greet the ticket office. Lin Feng was worried that he would not find him when he turned around, so he didn't dare to walk around, so he had to walk back and forth along the outer edge of the palace wall, and looked around the small shops around.

Having nothing to do, Lin Feng asked the tour guide station for a tour map of the imperial city.

The entire imperial city has a completely symmetrical layout, and it is strictly in accordance with the distribution of the front and back bedrooms, five gates and three dynasties.From the front to the back are the court hall, the museum exhibition hall of the imperial city scenic spot, the emperor's bedroom, and the so-called Taichen Lake where the dragon veins of the imperial city are located.On the left and right sides are Yingyan Palace and Yuanyang Pool.

Yingyan Palace should be the bedroom where Yingyan originally lived.

For some reason, Lin Feng was a little curious about this palace.Probably because I dreamed of Yingyan last night, and at the same time, I knew a little about the whole romantic anecdote that happened in the imperial city under the enthusiasm of the old horse, so I wanted to see it. What kind of house did the woman of the "Early Dynasty" live in?

Moreover, Yingyan Palace actually used Yingyan's name directly.According to what Lin Feng knew, Yingyan was originally just an actress, and the name of the palace was either rich or noble. It seems that the last owner of the imperial city was really obsessed with Yingyan.

The farthest places from the entrance are Baiyin Building and Wenqu Pavilion, which face each other across Taichen Lake.Next to it are the Chaochao Palace and Biguixuan.This should be the residence of the emperor's other concubines. Although it is magnificent from the map, it is not as good as Yingyan's bedroom if you look at it from the location.

And close to the entrance of the crown, there are four turrets, courtiers' hall, and purple emblem platform in turn.

In addition to these large and well-known palace buildings, there are also some sporadic small palaces, which are spread around these main buildings, and it feels like the stars are holding the moon.

Lin Feng was very shocked by the entire layout of the imperial city, and he stared at the map in a daze.To be honest, he felt that the layout of the entire imperial city looked like a common house on paper.But Lin Feng couldn't remember for a while.

Unexpectedly, the old horse came and went very quickly. Lin Feng had just browsed the map, and the old horse had already brought two "all-day tickets" and waved them in front of his eyes.

Lin Feng originally wanted to take a closer look at the map, but at least he had an impression that if he got separated from the old horse, he could just follow the road and find his way back.It's just that the old horse was eager to show his kindness as a landlord, so he took Lin Feng's arm and dragged him in.

Lin Feng was pulled by the old horse and almost tripped over the threshold.He couldn't resist the enthusiasm of the old horse, so he had no choice but to stop obsessing about the map and follow him to visit first.

It was only after entering the imperial city that Lin Feng realized how big this ancient miracle was and how complicated the terrain was.From the map alone, the layout of the entire palace looks very simple and clear, but because there are not only architectural palaces on the ground, but also a variety of exotic flowers and plants.There are many things that Lin Feng has never heard of or seen.

It was an eye-opener for him.

They walked for a whole morning before they finished the first half of the imperial city.If Lin Feng hadn't said that he really couldn't move anymore, the old horse would probably let him walk the entire imperial city from morning to night in one go.

Since Lin Feng thought of visiting the central collection exhibition area and discussing the next work in the evening, he still insisted on having lunch first.He had never walked so long in one breath, and he felt that he wanted to sit down right now.But in order not to dampen Lao Ma's enthusiasm, he still showed a regretful expression, but it was still important to eat.

Anyway, the old horse finally took him to a corner where he could sit down.

This is a material cultural heritage protection scenic spot, so there is no catering center inside.Lin Feng dug out the dry food he had prepared in advance from his bag, and simply settled his lunch with milk.

When people are going to be unlucky, the sky can't stop them.Lin Feng felt that he must have accidentally offended some kind of god recently.

He looked desperately at the milk that had spilled all over his trousers. The white milk stains were particularly obvious against the dark blue suit.

I rely on...!

Lin Feng rolled his eyes to himself, wailed softly and hurriedly covered the milk stains on his pants with his hands, and asked the surrounding staff for the location of the bathroom.

He went straight to the bathroom all the way, although the action of running wildly with his hands on his trousers without turning his head was very eye-catching, but how can Lin Feng control so much - this is his new suit!A set of thousands!

The moment he saw the bathroom, he felt like he had finally found a lifeline.His suit is still there!

Lin Feng almost snatched the door in. He didn't notice that someone just came out of the bathroom, so he had a very powerful collision with the person who came.The shoulders of the two directly collided, and Lin Feng felt that his bones were about to crack.He was in a hurry to deal with the milk stains on his pants, and he didn't care about the pain in his shoulder. He just looked up at the other party, said "sorry" and "sorry" repeatedly, and went straight to the sink to dip some water, looking for After a while, he got in.

When he finally wiped away the milk stains on his trousers until there were no obvious traces, he breathed a sigh of relief, opened the door and walked out.

He suddenly remembered whether he bumped into someone just now, and his attitude seemed to be bad, and he hadn't apologized seriously.

The moral character instilled in the nine-year compulsory education made Lin Feng feel a little guilty at this time.He recalled the appearance of that person, thinking that if he had the chance to meet again, he must say sorry to him.

But just now he was really too anxious, he didn't pay attention to what the other person looked like, even if it wasn't because this was a men's toilet, he wouldn't even notice whether the other person was a man or a woman.

The only thing that impresses Lin Feng is that the man seems to be wearing an ancient costume, and his hair is quite long, probably wearing a wig.

It should be some performer from the imperial city.Lin Feng planned to ask Lao Ma if there was any performance troupe nearby when he met Lao Ma later.

Fortunately, this incident was just a small episode for Lin Feng. After lunch, he reunited with the old horse and started to visit again. Lin Feng also put this incident behind him and never thought about it again.

What made him pay more attention and look forward to it was the Yingyan costume that was wrapped up by Lao Ma's various ghosts, ghosts, stories, anecdotes and anecdotes along the way.

Because Lao Ma has repeatedly guaranteed his personality, this Yingyan costume will become the highlight of this tour.
