The content is: I found a red palace door, hehe, I can go out.

Judging from the literal meaning, there is actually nothing special about it. It is just a general declarative sentence indicating a very simple content.

But the content behind it is a little different.

Some latecomers asked: Where is the door? I want to go out too.

There are many more similar scratches, all asking where the door is.

Looking behind, someone said: "I also found that red door. It doesn't exist. I dare not go in."

This sentence conveys an emotion to the viewer.

That is the coexistence of surprise and fear.

In other words, after someone was thrown into the cold palace, he discovered a special red palace door and thought he could get out, escape, and regain his freedom.

But most latecomers have not discovered this door.

Not everyone didn't notice it either.

Someone discovered it, and the other person said that it was a door that didn't exist, and they didn't dare to go in.

If you simply analyze these conversations that took place several years, even decades or hundreds of years apart, you will think that these are the contents of a group of poor women at a moment of mental disorder.

Very pitiful.

Worthy of sympathy.

But looking at it from another angle, what if it’s not the case?

They are very pitiful and mentally disturbed, but this does not mean that what they write is nonsense and false.

A madman may tell nonsense, but the nonsense is not necessarily false.

Suppose what the other person said is true.

There is a red palace gate that does not exist here. Maybe we can use this as a starting point to start exploring.

Lin Mo thought for a while, then dialed Professor Xie's phone number directly and asked the other party to find someone who was most familiar with Qianlong Palace. He had some things to ask.

Professor Xie knew that Lin Mo and his four special experts had begun investigating Qianlong Palace, so he didn't ask any more questions and went directly to find someone.

Soon, the person was found.

After communicating on the phone, the other party said that he was the previous administrator of Qianlong Palace. He was almost 70 years old. He had been studying Qianlong Palace all his life. It can be said that he knew everything here, and he knew all the stories here, no matter what he said.

Or folklore, they are all treasures.

This is exactly the person Lin Mo is looking for.

"What do you call me?"

"Just call me Lao Qi."

"Okay, Lao Qi, I want to ask about things in the Qianlong Palace and the Leng Palace. I'm in the Leng Palace now. Yes, it's pretty deserted here."

Lin Mo connected with the other party over the phone to understand the situation.

He didn't hide it, he read out the words on the wall, and asked, Lao Qi, with all your years of research on Qianlong Palace, have you ever heard of the non-existent red palace gate?

Lao Qi on the other end of the phone was silent for a while.

"I've heard of it, Expert Lin. Did you see it from the inscriptions on the wall of Leng Palace?"

"right."

"Actually, there are written records about this bloody palace gate in some palace secrets. In ancient times, there was a special kind of official who was responsible for recording all kinds of things that happened in the palace, big and small. I have done special research on it, so I know

The Bloody Palace Gate is a rather scary legend in the palace."

Lin Mo asked Lao Qi to explain it carefully.

So the latter told Lin Mo everything he knew from beginning to end.

The legend about the bloody palace door in Qianlong Palace can be traced back to more than 500 years ago. At that time, the doors in Qianlong Palace were all normal wood color and were not deliberately dyed.

Until one day, someone in the palace suddenly disappeared.

The ones who disappeared at first were the palace maids and the eunuchs. They just reported to the steward and were looking for people normally. If they couldn't be found, they didn't take it to heart.

After all, such a large Qianlong Palace, with thousands of rooms, might be hidden somewhere, or it might have slipped and fallen into the inner lake.

Later, someone disappeared again, which made the person in charge feel that something was wrong, so he reported it to the internal officials.

There were capable people at that time, but I don’t know how they investigated it. A few days later, the emperor ordered the Qianlong Palace to be renovated.

This is the first time Qianlong Palace has been repaired.

Some houses were demolished, others were repaired, and some layouts were changed.

Since then, everything has been peaceful.

This dynasty later ran out of energy and was overthrown, and most of the members of the royal family did not have a happy ending. After all, it was a different day and they were bound to experience a catastrophe.

Not only the imperial city, but also the Qianlong Palace at that time.

Later, the new dynasty was established and he also moved into Qianlong Palace. After that, some strange disappearances also occurred.

The exact details are not recorded, but the solution is to paint all the walls and doors in Qianlong Palace with red paint.

To the outside world, it is called auspicious. After all, red represents prosperity and auspiciousness.

Later on, there were occasional disappearances, but they were already very few. Over the past few hundred years, the total number of missing people was only a hundred. In this vast history, what does this count?

Not worth mentioning.

If it weren't for an old scholar like Lao Qi, who had studied Qianlong Palace all his life, to read ancient books and sort out clues tirelessly, such secrets would have been forgotten long ago.

Lin Mo was also fascinated by what he heard.

I didn't expect that what happened in the past sounded so exciting, mysterious, and weird, and because it really happened, it still had a strong sense of reality.

The most important thing is that he is now in Qianlong Palace. In the dark night, except for 416 and the invisible 418, there is no one around.

It's really exciting.

Since it is recorded in the manuscripts of some palace officials, it means that the words carved on the wall are not nonsense.

There may really be a non-existent, bloody palace gate here.

And Lin Mo also discovered something.

Interesting things.

That is inside the Qianlong Palace. Indeed, most of the palace doors are red.

But only the door in this cold palace is dark brown.

It makes sense when you think about it, what kind of place is this?

The cold palace.

It is a place that the emperor will never come to in his lifetime, and it is also the most taboo and disliked place among the people in the palace.

Mainly because it's too unlucky.

No one wants to be exposed to bad luck, so under normal circumstances, no one would come to a place like this.

Not to mention repairs and touch-ups.

So even though this place was renovated at the beginning, over time, the wall coverings fell off and the door paint could not be preserved, so this place may be one of the few places in Qianlong Palace that does not have a red painted door.

At this time, Lin Mo suddenly had an idea.

Why was it painted red in the first place?

According to Lao Qi, the external statements are just to deceive others, and the real reason is to ward off evil spirits.

In other words, the weird bloody red door that does not exist will only exist in places that are not painted red.

For example, Leng Gong.

It actually makes sense to explain it this way, so there are no such horrible things found in other places, but there are in the cold palace. But once you enter this place, no one will care. If you die, just bury it with a straw mat and that's it.

.

Even if he disappeared inexplicably, would the eunuch below dare to report it truthfully?

Definitely not.

So I just said that he died inexplicably. If I reported it to the authorities, no one would come to investigate and verify.

Very reasonable.

Lin Mo felt that the problem with Qianlong Palace probably lies in this place.

Because they have also been to other places, including the back garden, the back mountain, and some remote corners, and he found nothing. Neither did Zhong Kui and the others in the nightmare world.

Apart from encountering a few lonely ghosts, the real owner with a G value of 20 W was not seen at all.

But here in Leng Palace, Lin Mo discovered that there might be a strange and non-existent Bloody Palace Gate, so the possibility of something going wrong here skyrocketed.

After hanging up the phone with Lao Qi, Lin Mo began to look for other possible clues in this place. In other words, he just wandered around.
