Once you enter the unopened area of ​​the Forbidden City, it seems to be completely isolated from the hustle and bustle of the open area. The worries of being flooded by the large number of tourists at any time will disappear. You can finally enjoy the real Forbidden City.

The first feeling when entering here is quiet. It is really too quiet. Apart from occasionally walking by one or two employees, there are basically no people on the road. The grass is desolate, ancient trees are like a cover, and a pair of stone-bottomed copper palace lanterns stand at any distance on both sides of the road. Walking here is like wandering in thousands of years of history.

Wen Li saw Zhang Zi'an looking around curiously, laughed and said, "Did you think the area of ​​the Forbidden City was mysterious before, but when you came in, you couldn't see it?"

She guessed partly.

In fact, the main reason why Zhang Zi'an looked around was looking for the thing suspected to be an elf that ran away just now, but it was not convenient to explain it to her, so she simply agreed to her guess.

"It's rare to come in. Can I take pictures?" He shook his cell phone and applied to her.

The thing that ran away before was just a suspected elves. If you have preconceived prejudices, what should you do if you miss a real elves?

"Please." She agreed generously without stopping.

While following her, Zhang Zian scans the surroundings with the game capture interface without missing any corners.

There have always been many rumors about the areas where the Forbidden City is not open. Some people say that these areas where the treasures of the emperors of the Ming and Qing dynasties are hidden. Some people even say that the reason why the Forbidden City does not open these areas is because supernatural events occur at night, and these unopened areas are the high incidence areas of supernatural events.

In fact, based on what he saw and heard along the way, these groundless hypotheses can be overturned. These areas are not open to the public because they have not been repaired and have not yet reached the time to open.

Whenever he passed by a palace, he could see a corner of the courtyard like a leopard through the open courtyard gate. The dirt-shaped palace was surrounded by scaffolding, and piles of stone were placed around it, which was obviously under renovation.

As a cultural relic with a history of hundreds of years, the renovation of the Forbidden City is much more complicated than the renovation of ordinary houses. Experts who have been engaged in this industry for decades lead graduate students to do it carefully little by little. Any carelessness may cause irreversible damage to the cultural relic.

Therefore, although it looks like a construction site, there are only a few people working in it. They wear yellow safety helmets and repeatedly verified the drawings. The work progress is extremely slow, after all, it is slow work to do the work.

Of course, there are also some palaces without scaffolding outside, which may be that the external reinforcement work has been completed and the internal repair is underway, or it is not the turn of this palace.

As for the second feeling of entering here, there are really many stray cats, including walls, corners, thresholds, and under windows, stray cats of all kinds of colors enjoy the spring sunshine in various positions.

Most cats like to be quiet. The tourists in ordinary open areas are crowded with people, and some naughty children like to pull the cat's tails, so they can't see a stray cat in the open area, and they all run to the unopened area to enjoy quiet time.

Whenever he saw a stray cat, Wen Li would name them like a few of his own knowledge.

The history of raising cats in the Forbidden City began as early as the Ming Dynasty. In the Ming Dynasty, the "cat hut room" was even established to manage cats in the palace, and then select the best ones from them to offer to the emperor. The emperor left his favorite cat for himself, and rewarded the rest to the royal relatives.

After years of historical changes, the noble palace cats of those days have been scattered all over the world.

Wen Li introduced that some of these stray cats now may be the descendants of the palace cats back then, and some of them were nearby stray cats running in, so they can no longer be distinguished.

These stray cats, including Xiaoxue, have marks on their ears, indicating that they have been spayed.

Wen Li also proudly said that most of the buildings in the Forbidden City are made of wooden, but they have not had any troubles in the past many years, and these stray cats must have contributed to it.

Seeing these crunchy and lazy sterilized cats, Zhang Zi'an was reserved for this statement. Perhaps Wen Li said this to find a legitimate and reasonable excuse for the Forbidden City employees to raise cats and love cats.

The stray cats are the real owner of this ancient building. There are some locked courtyard doors that can dexterously drill through the gaps under the door, through the drainage channels on the courtyard wall, and also through the wall.

Visiting the Forbidden City is a very boring thing. After all, all palaces are actually similar, but it is different if you lead them by professionals. Every time Wenli passes by a palace, she will tirelessly introduce the name and origin of the palace to Zhang Zi'an, which concubines have lived in, and what interesting stories have happened.

Not only did Zhang Zian nod his head frequently when he heard this, he felt that the trip was worthy, but even the elves listened very seriously.

The northwest you go, the more old the surrounding buildings become, and they are completely different from the glamorous and beautiful buildings in the open area. Perhaps this is the true appearance of the Forbidden City, which has experienced hundreds of years of storms and wars. Although the beauty is beautiful, it is not real.

“The front is our destination.”

On the east wall of Jianfu Gate, she pointed to a building hidden by an ancient tree and said.

Jianfu Palace is a large area. What they are going to is not the original body of Jianfu Palace, but an affiliated courtyard next to it.

When Zhang Zian saw this courtyard for the first time, he could hardly believe that his eyes were too broken, right?

The row of wing rooms in the courtyard can no longer be described as dusty. They are almost like a abandoned temple. The windows are empty, there is no glass or window paper, and the paint is almost gone. When you rub it with your fingers, you will get a layer of gray.

If this was not the Forbidden City, he would have dared to guarantee that no one would have the idea of ​​entering the house.

Wen Li understood his feelings and smiled bitterly: "There is no way, this place has not been included in the renovation schedule, and the courtyard itself has no importance, so it can only be lined up back."

She walked to the door of the wing room, which was also very broken, just a decoration.

To Zhang Zian's surprise, she did not push the door directly into the dilapidated wing room and said, "I'm in."

Before she spoke, Zhang Zian had already seen the interior through the hole in the window, which was dark inside. Although it was not clear, it was certain that there was no half-person inside. Who was she talking to?

When he thought of the supernatural rumors of gods and ghosts in the Forbidden City, although Zhang Zian didn't believe these, he still felt cold on his back unconsciously.

Are those rumors true that there is indeed something supernatural here?
