Immortality starts from eating melons in the cold palace

Chapter 6 Cold Palace, Secret Passage

Perhaps Li Changsheng's flattery had an effect.

After Concubine Lan left the cold palace, Eunuch Wei no longer arranged for Li Changsheng to have the drudgery of waiting for the concubine to bathe.

No need to wait for the concubine to bathe.

This is a good thing.

However, Li Changsheng always felt that his hands were empty and missing something.

Click Mao.

Eunuch Wei arranged errands.

"Xiao Lizi, go deliver food to Concubine Rong."

Looks of jealousy, envy, and hatred were directed at Li Changsheng.

Delivering food to Concubine Rong is such a bad job!
  The meals delivered to the Leng Palace from the imperial dining room are calculated on a per-person basis.

Concubines are treated like concubines, eunuchs in charge are treated like eunuchs in charge, and junior eunuchs are treated like junior eunuchs.

Like the concubines who live in Dongba Courtyard and are very likely to leave the cold palace.

Even if you give the eunuchs in the cold palace a hundred courages, they won't dare to skimp on them.

As for a ghost place like Beiba Yuan.

Who is that?

do not know!
  Concubine Rong is finished and will never be able to leave the cold palace in this life, so she naturally becomes the target of deductions.

How much is withheld, how much is left for Concubine Rong.

It's all in Li Changsheng's thoughts.

Li Changsheng accepted Eunuch Wei's care and headed to the North Eighth Courtyard with his lunch box.

My predecessor worked in the cold palace for ten years and had never set foot in the North Eighth Hospital.

According to rumors, the North Eighth Courtyard is haunted and has a strong negative energy.

After staying in Beiba Hospital for a long time, normal people will become abnormal.

When we arrived at Beiba Courtyard, the leaves were flying and it was chilly.

Perhaps because of the poor lighting conditions, Li Changsheng clearly felt that the temperature in the Eighth North Courtyard was several degrees lower than that of the other twenty-four homes.

"Mother, this is food!"

Li Changsheng held the food box and placed it on the table.

Li Changsheng did not skimp on the food in the food box.

According to the unspoken rules, it doesn't matter even if Li Changsheng withholds all the food.

But with a higher education, he couldn't do such a stupid thing after all.

Opening the lunch box, Concubine Rong's expression suddenly changed, her pretty face turned cold.

"Dog eunuch, are these dog foods for humans to eat?"

Bang!
  The food box was kicked over by Concubine Rong, and the food was scattered on the floor.

Li Changsheng rolled his eyes, and no matter how much Concubine Rong cursed, he turned a deaf ear and pretended not to hear her at all.

Eat as much as you like!

Putting on airs?

This problem can be cured by just a few hungry meals.

"Dog eunuch, what's your look like?"

"Do I need your mercy?"

Concubine Rong looked ferocious and kicked Li Changsheng. Li Changsheng took half a step across and dodged the sudden kick.

"You dog slave, how dare you hide."

Seeing that Concubine Rong was about to go crazy, Li Changsheng immediately left the wing as a strategy.

When passing by the courtyard.

In Li Changsheng's body, the internal power cultivated by the Tianshui Meridian Method was inexplicably aroused.

"what happened?"

Li Changsheng felt something strange, his face changed slightly, showing a suspicious look.

He didn't practice the Tianshui Meridian Technique, but his internal energy actually started to work on its own.

Li Changsheng had never encountered this situation before.

Close your eyes and concentrate.

Sensing carefully.

After a while.

Li Changsheng sensed an essence of Yin Qi.

Welled up from the ground.

Like a fountain.

This yin energy has always been entrenched underground.

Today, it was drawn by the Tianshui Meridian Method and emerged.

Opening his eyes, Li Changsheng's eyes revealed a thoughtful look.

"Mechanism? Secret passage? Secret room?"

Although I don’t know what is underground, there must be a mystery.

Li Changsheng stomped his feet lightly and walked back and forth in the yard.

After practicing the Tianshui Meridian Method, his five senses are sharp and his perception of the environment is far beyond that of ordinary people.

While he was running the Tianshui Meridian Technique, he was looking for the source of the essence of Yin Qi.

It took enough time to walk for a cup of tea.

He finally found the clue.

There is actually a hidden mechanism in the ordinary rockery.

The organs are in perfect harmony. If Li Changsheng hadn't known in advance that there was another mystery, he would never have been able to figure it out.

After groping around on the rockery, Li Changsheng found the switch.

Twist it gently!
  Click!
  A rockery moved away quietly.

A dark, deep, bottomless passage was revealed.

At the beginning of the founding of the Zhou Dynasty, the people were poor and distressed.

Taizu of the Zhou Dynasty thought that people's lives were not easy, so he did not carry out large-scale construction to build a palace.

Instead, he simply repaired the former palace and moved in.

"Is this a secret passage left by the previous dynasty?"

Li Changsheng's eyes flickered and he guessed.

He felt that if this secret passage was built by the Zhou royal family, it would never be built in Leng Palace.

Most of the Zhou royal family didn't even know about this secret passage.

After finding the secret passage, Li Changsheng did not go in and explore it immediately.

Secret passages have many uses.

Possibly a secret passage for escape.

It may be an underground palace for storing treasures.

It may also be a retreat for practicing Kung Fu.

Of course it can also be used for private affairs.

Or imprison an important person.

Even to satisfy some special hobbies of the powerful that are not humane to outsiders.

……

Various functions, to name a few.

Li Changsheng was not sure whether there was any danger in the secret passage.

Naturally, he is not willing to take risks.

"Let others explore the path first."

After Li Changsheng made up his mind, he closed the secret passage and pretended that nothing happened. He was busy and carried out his errands seriously.

Three quarters of a hour.

Everyone fell into a deep sleep.

Li Changsheng, who was on the bed, suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the bright moonlight outside the window.

"It's time to act!"

In the cold palace, Li Changsheng couldn't be more familiar.

With his feet under the moonlight and his ghostly figure, he shuttled through the cold palace without disturbing anyone.

After a while of burning incense, we arrived at the rockery in the North Eighth Courtyard.

Coming with him was the stray cat Xiaobai in his arms.

Opening the secret passage in the rockery, Li Changsheng threw Xiaobai in.

"Xiaobai, you must hold on!"

"Meow--"

Xiaobai was frightened and ran forward without looking back.

It was as if there was a big devil standing behind him.

Li Changsheng watched Xiaobai disappear into the secret passage. He was not in a hurry and waited patiently.

"If Xiao Bai dies, then Xiao Hei will be replaced. If Xiao Hei dies, there will still be Xiao Hua."

There is no shortage of all kinds of stray animals in the palace.

Most of them are pets of nobles in the palace.

As nobles passed away or were relegated to the cold palace, these pets fell from the clouds into dust and had to fend for themselves.

Li Changsheng does not lack patience, nor does he lack pioneers.

The secret passage can always be explored safely.

Half an hour later, Xiaobai came out.

There were no external injuries other than the hair on his body being stained.

"It seems there is no danger in the secret passage."

Even Xiaobai was able to escape unscathed.

Isn't he worse than Xiaobai?
  Li Changsheng walked into the secret passage. The air was dull and filled with the smell of decay.

The passage is so narrow that only one person can pass through.

On the walls on both sides, there were bronze oil lamps hanging with rust.

The lamp oil had long since run out, and no one had obviously been in for years.

In addition to the bronze oil lamps, there are also small white flowers growing on the floor and walls of the secret passage.

These little white flowers are so tenacious that they don’t know what they do for a living, yet they can actually grow in such a dark place.

After walking for dozens of steps, he suddenly became enlightened.

At the end of the passage is an underground palace.

The underground palace is very simple, with only seven ever-burning lamps, which have been extinguished for who knows how many years.

There was also a futon with a skeleton on it that had been dead for who knows how many years.

"It seems like this is a place where someone goes into seclusion."

Li Changsheng murmured in his mouth.

Looking at the corpses on the futon, one knew that the owner of the underground palace had not left seclusion until his death.

Just when Li Changsheng was about to examine the skeleton.

A black shadow suddenly struck towards him.

Li Changsheng took a closer look.

It's a ghost!
  It turns out that Beiba Courtyard is haunted!
