I created Qin Tianjian in modern times

After getting the confirmation, Sun Qing breathed a sigh of relief and said with a frown: "I had planned to keep this matter in my heart forever, because I knew no one would believe it. I was wondering why people always leave this job even though the salary is so good. It was not until I took the position myself that I realized that it is really hard to make money."

"Stop talking nonsense and get to the point!" Shang Qiu urged.

Sun Qing quickly said, "Two leaders, the Forbidden City is haunted!"

"What?" Shang Hui and Shang Qiu looked at each other in surprise. Although they expected something unusual, they didn't expect Sun Qing to say "haunted" directly.

Shang Qiu frowned and looked at Sun Qing seriously: "Do you know what you are talking about? The Forbidden City is haunted, how dare you say such a thing!"

Sun Qing sighed helplessly: "I knew I shouldn't have said it. Now that I've said it, you don't believe it. But I saw it with my own eyes, the Forbidden City is really not clean!"

Shang Hui rolled his eyes, thought for a moment and then asked: "Sun Qing, I believe what you said. But you have to tell me in detail, how exactly is the haunted thing?"

Hearing Shang Hui's words, Sun Qing couldn't even believe his ears: "Do you really believe what I say?"

Shang Qiu nodded: "I scared you just now, just to confirm whether what you said was true or not. Now tell me in detail, what exactly did you encounter?"

Sun Qing looked at the two men in disbelief for a long time. These two leaders were completely different from the people he had met before. This also gave him courage, and he could finally say what he had been hiding in his heart and dared not say.

After leaving Sun Qing's residence, the two talked as they walked. Sun Qing seemed a little nervous at this time, mumbling something and constantly adding yellow paper to the brazier.

Shang Hui looked back at Sun Qing's condition and couldn't help but sigh deeply. If they hadn't been determined to investigate the matter, I'm afraid this secret would have been buried forever. This also once again made Shang Hui and Shang Qiu realize the importance of the 788 Exploration Team.

Since there are really strange things in the world, there must be forces beyond cognition. However, China is currently unprepared for this and even knows nothing about it. The existence of the 788 Exploration Team is as important as national security, the military and other forces, and is an indispensable part of the people's defense line.

Although the whole country has not paid enough attention to this, Shang Hui and Shang Qiu will never stand idly by now that they know about it. After some discussion in the car, they finally decided to sneak into the Forbidden City tonight to find out.

……

Meanwhile, in a remote mountain in Anhui Province, China, there is a famous scenic spot, Tushan. According to legend, more than 4000 years ago, Dayu split the mountain and diverted the Huai River here, and married Tushan as his wife, leaving behind the legend of "passing by his home three times without entering".

At this time, in a dim cave deep in Tushan, a black shadow was sitting cross-legged, with an unconcealable demonic aura all over his body. After a moment, the black shadow slowly opened his eyes, and a pair of dark green eyes flickered in the darkness.

It flicked its wrist lightly, and a ball of demonic energy condensed into a picture in front of its eyes. The picture showed the scene it had secretly recorded when it eavesdropped on the conversation of the three sisters of Tushan in another part of the Tushan Mountains.

In this world where animals can cultivate to become spirits, the regional divisions are very strict. Tushan is the habitat of the fox demon clan. When the 788 exploration team passed through Guangdong before, they helped a little fox demon bring a letter home. Later, the three sisters of Tushan accidentally learned about the letter when they passed through Guangdong to visit their relatives and brought it back.

Although the little fox demon is a wild fox and her hometown is in Guangdong, she is not a member of the Tushan fox tribe, but she has a distant relative relationship with Tushan, so she occasionally contacts with them. The little fox has already joined the Kunlun Mountain Security District, but she has always been concerned about her family. So when the 788 Exploration Team went to Hong Kong to perform a mission, the little fox asked them to take a letter back. In the letter, the little fox described her current situation and also mentioned the 788 Exploration Team and Zhao Qi. She said that she wanted to stay in the 788 Exploration Team to practice with Zhao Qi, and her family had no objection to this. Tushan Honghong, the chief of the Tushan fox tribe, who was a distant relative, could not control it.

And because of some things in the past, the Tushan fox tribe is not hostile to humans, but feels close to them. In particular, Tushan Honghong is very supportive of the little fox being able to practice with a master. In the letter, the little fox also described that although this team was established within the military region, it has a strong foundation. Not only does it have a separate Lingbao Pavilion, but the pavilion also contains all the rare treasures in the world.

The three sisters were full of curiosity and yearning for the Kunlun Mountain Security Area mentioned in the letter. Lingbao is not unfamiliar to the demon race. In ancient times, it was a treasure that only powerful people were worthy of. Because Lingbao is so rare, most practitioners can hardly see its true appearance in their lifetime. In the Kunlun Mountain Security Area, there is not only a special Lingbao Pavilion, but also, as the little fox said, it is full of rare treasures, which is enough to show the strong foundation of the 788 Exploration Team.

The three sisters of Tushan were delighted that their distant relative, the little fox demon, had such a good fortune, but they did not expect that their conversation had been secretly eavesdropped by other demons. Although Tushan was the habitat of the fox clan, it was not their territory. After all, it was the end of the law era, and it was not allowed to become a demon after the founding of the country. The outside cities were all human. In a cave just below Tushan, there lived a demon.

This goblin was not very skilled, but it was not easy for him to open his mind and cultivate into a goblin without the guidance of a master and the fate of fate. He accidentally heard the conversation between the three sisters of Tushan. Although it was just a few words, he immediately made up his mind. Because the Kunlun Mountain Security Zone mentioned by the Tushan sisters actually had a Lingbao Pavilion with many Lingbao, which was too tempting for the goblin.

At this time, in the dark cave, the dialogue between the Tushan sisters was replayed in the screen formed by the demonic energy. Although there were only a few words, a lot of information could be inferred. The demon seemed a little nervous and was breathing heavily. Because it was in the dark, its shape could not be seen clearly, and it was unknown what kind of animal it was that cultivated into a spirit.

At the entrance of the cave, the goblin proudly carved four big characters "Black Wolf Demon Cave" on the stone wall. There was a sense of dominance between the lines, and it was obvious that it was quite satisfied with its work.

Beside the cave entrance, a pool of yellow liquid lay quietly. It was a unique mark of canines, revealing the identity of the owner. Although this goblin had practiced for many years, he was still inexperienced and unable to transcend the mundane world, and it was still difficult for him to give up the habits of animals.

In the goblin circle near Anhui Province, this black wolf is well-known. Although simple-minded and somewhat honest, its fighting power should not be underestimated. In addition, now is the end of the Dharma era, and most goblins choose to retreat from the world and practice, especially in the world dominated by humans. They prefer to hide in the mountains and forests to seek peace.

Therefore, there were few disputes among these goblins, and they lived in peace for a long time. However, when the black wolf learned about the spiritual treasure, its greed began to stir.

It knew the value of the spiritual treasure. If it could obtain it, it would not only be able to dominate Tushan, but also occupy a place in the demon world of Anhui Province. More importantly, the spiritual treasure could greatly increase its cultivation. Even in this Dharma Ending Age, it could be promoted to the position of the Five Immortals in just ten years.

These thoughts drove the black wolf spirit to make a decision. In the night, it licked its lips and walked out of the cave excitedly. Under the moonlight, it can be seen that although it has not transformed, it can already walk upright, and even imitates humans wearing shorts, which looks quite funny, forming a sharp contrast with the domineering words "Black Wolf Demon Cave" at the entrance of the cave. But the black wolf spirit does not seem to care about these, it still walks upright happily, with its hands behind its back, looking around. At this moment, its heart is full of desire for spiritual treasures.

After confirming that there was no one around, the black wolf stopped pretending, returned to its four-legged stance, and instantly turned into a gust of black wind, running at high speed and disappearing into the night.

……

At this time, it was already late at night in Beijing, and the area near the Forbidden City had long been closed off, and tourists were no longer allowed to enter. Soldiers armed with live ammunition were on standby to guard the outer security of the Forbidden City. After all, this was the heart of Beijing, and the residents around it were either rich or noble, so the security issue was naturally not to be underestimated.

However, unlike usual, two lights were on at the entrance of the Forbidden City tonight. Shang Hui and Shang Qiu walked towards the Forbidden City together. The person in charge came up to them and asked politely: "Director Shang, we have received a report of assistance from the Cultural Relics Bureau. What urgent work needs to be done at night?"

Shang Hui pushed up his glasses and answered seriously: "This is an important historical topic. We need to conduct some research in the Forbidden City."

Although the person in charge was puzzled, he did not dare to ask more questions. He just noticed that there was only Shang Qiu behind Shang Hui, and he couldn't help but ask in confusion: "Director Shang, why don't you meet other researchers? Can you two do it?"

Naturally, he did not know Shang Qiu, the director of the National Security Bureau. The National Security Bureau was a highly confidential unit, not to mention the identity of the director of the Beijing branch.

Shang Hui explained: "It's okay, this is an expert in this field. We are just doing preliminary record work..."

After a brief conversation, Shang Hui led Shang Qiu into the gate of the Forbidden City. Shang Qiu smiled bitterly and gave a thumbs up: "Old Shang, why didn't I realize that you can handle this kind of thing so easily before?"

Shang Hui turned around to make sure no one was following him, then he sighed and said, "Stop teasing me, let's go in and take a look. If it doesn't work, contact the Kunlun Security District for help."

For Shang Hui, the Forbidden City is a place he is familiar with, and Shang Qiu, despite being the director of the Beijing National Security Bureau, rarely has the opportunity to examine the Forbidden City up close, especially at night, which adds a bit of mystery under the dim light of the flashlight.

The Forbidden City, an ancient city that embodies the ancient Chinese concept of harmony between man and nature, made Shang Qiu feel the wisdom and shock of the ancients as soon as he entered. Shang Hui naturally took on the role of guide, leading Shang Qiu deeper while introducing:

"The Forbidden City has four gates: Wumen in the south, Shenwumen in the north, Donghuamen in the east, and Xihuamen in the west. There is a corner tower at each corner, which is very graceful. There is a saying among the people: nine beams, eighteen pillars, and seventy-two ridges, which describes the grandeur of the Forbidden City."

However, Shang Qiu didn't seem to be very interested in these. He interrupted Shang Hui and asked directly:

"Let's get to the point. Where are we now?"

Shang Hui sighed helplessly, feeling like he was talking to a cow, but he still patiently explained:

"The Forbidden City is divided into the outer court and the inner court. We are now near the inner court. Behind it are the Palace of Heavenly Purity, the Palace of Union and Peace, and the Palace of Earthly Tranquility, the three palaces behind. This is where the emperor and empress lived. Behind it is the imperial garden, and on both sides are the residences of the imperial concubines. This is also the only area of ​​the Forbidden City open to the public. It will not be open to the public in the future because it involves cultural relics research and historical research."

Shang Qiu nodded and immediately made a suggestion:

"It's better for us to follow the normal night patrol route than wandering around here aimlessly. I remember there should be daily work records in the night patrol office. We can follow the time recorded and be night patrolmen to explore the wonders of this Forbidden City."

Shang Hui nodded in agreement, and the two of them went to the night patrol office in the Forbidden City. There was a table and a bed in the office for the night patrol to rest.

After entering the room, Shang Hui immediately flipped through the work records on the table, glanced at the time again, and then said:

"According to regulations, staff members have to conduct night patrols twice a day. The first patrol is at 10 p.m., which takes about 30 minutes to conduct a full inspection. The second patrol is at 2:30 a.m. There are still six minutes to 10 a.m., and in six minutes we will start to walk around the Forbidden City."

Shang Qiu nodded in agreement. At this time, the two still knew nothing about the secret they were about to discover. Although they were skeptical about Sun Qing's words, it was difficult to determine the truth without evidence. Therefore, they decided to go there in person to see with their own eyes whether something strange really happened in the Forbidden City.

As the time approached ten o'clock, the two looked at each other, picked up the flashlight and walked out of the house. For some reason, after walking out of the house, the two clearly felt that the temperature around them seemed to have dropped a lot. But they just guessed that this might be due to the architectural characteristics of the Forbidden City and did not pay too much attention to it.

Along a quiet path, the two began their night patrol. On both sides were buildings that had been around for hundreds of years, making Shang Hui and Shang Qiu feel as if they had traveled back to ancient times. As Shang Hui walked, he introduced:

"The areas open to the public in the Forbidden City include the front three halls, the back three palaces, the Fengxian Hall, the Yangxin Hall, the Wenhua Hall, the Wuying Hall, the six east and west palaces, the Zhai Palace, the Huangji Hall, and the Ningshou Palace area. The road we are walking on now should be the direction leading to the three main halls."

Shang Qiu asked curiously:

"Which three great halls are they?"

Shang Hui explained patiently:

"The Hall of Supreme Harmony, the Hall of Central Harmony, and the Hall of Preserving Harmony. These three halls were the palaces used by feudal emperors to exercise power or hold grand ceremonies."

Shang Qiu nodded after hearing this, and followed Shang Hui. Walking in the Forbidden City was like taking a vivid history lesson. Even Shang Qiu, who was not very interested in this history, became a little interested at this moment.
