Chapter 10 Part Nine: Visiting the palace at night to discover the king's secret

In my imagination, it was mostly done by Ba Yin and some villagers, so there should be some traces left, so when I couldn't find any traces of the stone house, the doubts in my heart became more and more serious. more and more. At this moment, Bai Lai, who was behind me, suddenly called out: Someone is coming! Bai Lai yelled, I looked up, and saw a car speeding towards me. The headlights of that car were on, shooting directly at Bai Lai and me, so that I naturally had to cover my eyes with my hands. own eyes. The car was coming very quickly, and it came to us all at once.At that time, I didn't know who was in the car, but the headlights shone on me, and the experience of my adventurous life made me feel that it is always a very disadvantageous thing for me to be in the light and others in the dark. Something happened, so I stepped back immediately, out of the range of the headlights.

When I came to the dark place, I could already clearly see the situation in front of me. Bai Lai did not have such experience as mine. Even though he seemed to feel very uncomfortable and covered his eyes with his hands, he did not back away. He just yelled: Hey, what are you doing? At this time, I also saw the car, which was a very luxurious car with an emblem on the door. That is the coat of arms of the king of Nepal!Regardless of whether the king came in person or not, it is not a good thing for me to be discovered by people in the car, so I quickly stepped back a few steps. At this moment, the door of the car opened, and the two officers got out of the car first, and the man who got out of the car next, I am not familiar with, he was the imperial minister who invited me to see the king for the first time.

After the imperial minister got out of the car, I saw another person sitting in the car.As soon as I saw the imperial minister, my heart beat wildly.I'm back in Nepal again!This is a very inexplicable thing! Just as I was thinking about how to cover myself up, I heard the imperial minister's very blunt voice asking Bai Lai, who said, "Who are you?"what are you doing here Bai Lai looked a little annoyed, and asked: Who are you? The two officers next to the imperial minister shouted: "The minister asks you, you must answer, put your hands down!" Bai Lai was stunned for a moment, then put down his hands, the light shone directly on his face.

Don't forget that Bai Lai at this time, a native of the Black Army, looked really weird when he squinted to adjust to the strong light.Bai Lai's resilience was beyond my expectation. He probably heard me talk about the matter between the former minister and me, so he spread his hands and said, "I'm a tourist. I lost my way. How can I get back?" to the hotel? The imperial minister stared at Bai Lai, and then looked at me again.I reckoned with the distance between him and me, and the sky being so dark, he couldn't recognize my face, so I just stood still and didn't shrink back, lest it would arouse his suspicion.

Just when the imperial minister was looking at me, Bai Lai did me another favor and shouted: Henry, don't be afraid, there are two officers here, they can definitely show us the way home! I vaguely agreed, the imperial minister took a step towards me, then turned around and pointed at Bai Lai: This area has been ordered by the military authorities to be a restricted area, you guys get out of here quickly! As soon as I heard what the imperial minister said, my heart suddenly moved.At this time, Bai Lai simply acted to the fullest: a military restricted zone?Why can't we see any signs when we come?

The voice of the imperial minister was very impatient: I will tell you the same now, leave quickly! Bai Lai muttered, expressing his dissatisfaction, and walked towards our car, I also walked forward, caught up with Bai Lai after a while, and said with a low laugh: You really have a way, if the imperial minister sees me, what will happen? It's very troublesome! Bai Lai took a breath: There is more than one person in the car, have you noticed it? I said: I see, this man Bai Lai interjected: He is sitting on the left side of the back seat of a car. Usually, this is the seat of the owner of the car. This person's status is higher than that of the imperial minister. Who do you think he is?

I lowered my voice very low: King? Bailey didn't make a sound.We have come to the jeep, we got into the car together, Bailey started the car, drove straight ahead, we saw the headlights of the car, shining on us until we were out of the range of the light . Bai Lai turned around and looked at me: I believe you remember correctly, the stone house with strange carvings must be where we stood just now! I'm a little surprised: why are you so sure? Bai Lai said: You didn't hear the imperial minister say that this place is listed as a military restricted zone, of course because of the strange stone house.Keep no one near it!

I couldn't help laughing: the stone house doesn't exist anymore, so what's the point of keeping people from getting close? Bai Lai shook his head and said: "I don't understand either, but the matter seems very serious. If the person in the car is the king, then there must be some unspeakable secret between the king and Bain, and there must be something between the king and that strange stone house." There's some kind of connection, don't you think? My mind was confused, but Bai Lai's words made sense, so I nodded in agreement.Bai Lai said: Therefore, we should go separately. After returning to Kathmandu, I will continue to find Ba Yin and Bai Su, you

I was shocked, and immediately thought of what Bai Lai wanted to say, so I immediately said loudly: No, I won't go! Bai Lai sighed: Well, if you don't go, then I have to go, I must go, and I can definitely find out some reasons there. I looked at Bai Lai, and I found that his thinking was extremely sensitive, and his ability to understand other people's minds was above ordinary people, and he had an unusual self-confidence, as if what he said must be obeyed, irresistible! I have no reason to believe that Burley was like that before, because generally speaking, hippies are always muddleheaded, and he and Sinney are hippies to the letter!

Did Bai Lai suddenly become shrewd and capable after undergoing a mutation?Is the body of an Indian more useful than his former body? But at this time, I didn't have the opportunity to explore this question, because Bailey asked me aggressively again: Is it?dont you agree? I thought for a while, and then slowly said: Bai Lai, you must know that it is no joke to sneak into the palace. Once you are discovered, you should be able to imagine the consequences! Bai Lai said: If you are found out, you can ask to see the king. I believe that the king must have an ulterior secret in his heart, but we have grasped this point. At most, the king will expel me from the country!

I smiled wryly and said: The king is an out-and-out gentleman, are you doing this? But Bai Lai interrupted me rudely: I don't care, I want to go back!I will do anything that will help me go back in the slightest, and I must go back! At this time, I was really surprised.I was surprised because of the gnashing of the teeth of Bailey when he said this, and even the tendons on his forehead showed.And then, what surprised me even more was that he immediately realized that his demeanor was very wrong, so he immediately returned to normal, and tried to hide the ruthlessness he showed just now. In an instant, his tone changed. very softly: I want to go back so badly, you know, so badly! When Bai Lai said this, he naturally hoped that I would forgive him for his rudeness just now.But because of how quickly he transformed, that really blew me away.First of all, Bai Lai's words made me feel that he was a bit unscrupulous in order to go back! This is absolutely incompatible with the conditions I know to go back.This alone can be interpreted as his yearning for eternal life and his eagerness to go back.However, the cover-up he followed was nothing short of evil! I quickly turned around, and replied casually: I understand. Then, I paused: In this case, it is better to let me go, at least I have been there twice, so I am more familiar with it! Bai Lai said happily: You are the ideal candidate, so go tonight!As soon as there is news, please contact the hotel immediately! At this time, even for reasons that I could not explain myself, I felt a deep worry in my heart. This hidden worry is very strong, and I feel that Bailai is changing and becoming elusive.Perhaps, that’s what Bailey was like before, because I’m not familiar with Bailey, and I only know him a little from Sinney’s narration. Sinney has said more than once that I have always been unable to compete with him. Will the situation be the same as it is today? I didn't say anything more, the car continued to drive forward, and after driving into the urban area, at a street corner, Bai Lai stopped the car and looked at me. To be honest, at this time I myself felt the need to explore the palace.Because of the sudden disappearance of the strange stone house, that place happened to be designated as a military restricted area, the appearance of the former imperial minister, and the person sitting in the car may be the king. All these circumstances indicate that there is an extremely delicate relationship between the king and the ancient house. association! Since I wanted to go myself, I didn't have the feeling that Belle was controlling my actions at this time.I got out of the car: If there is no accident, I will be back before dawn! Bailey said: Good luck! While waving his hands, he drove the car and sped forward.I leaned against the corner by myself, lit a cigarette, and when the cigarette was finished, I still couldn't explain why I was worried about Bai Lai, but I just felt that something was wrong. I walked forward in the dark. After walking for about an hour, I could already see the majestic buildings of the palace.I knew that it was impossible to enter the palace head-on without being noticed, so I walked around the road until I came to the side of the palace wall. I looked up at the high wall, which was made of stone, and the uneven stones made it easy for me to climb up.Once I got on the wall, everything became so much easier! I don’t know what happened to the palace before. At least in recent decades, Nepal has lived a peaceful life. I’m afraid no one would expect someone to sneak into the palace, so there are almost no guards.When I started to enter the shadow of the building, I met no one.I walked straight forward, the building of the palace was very large, my initial destination was the king's study that I had been to twice, but half an hour after entering the building, after a long and short Constantly turning around in the corridors and corridors, I found that it was not an easy task. I stopped in a long hallway, trying to get my bearings.The corridor was quite dark, and when I was standing still, I heard footsteps coming. I quickly turned to one side and hid behind a big pillar. The shadow of the big pillar happened to cover my whole body. I hid behind the pillar, not even daring to poke my head out to have a look.Because stealing into the palace is not a joke, maybe there is some ancient law in Nepal to punish the thief, such as beheading or breaking off the legs, then I will be in trouble! I hid behind the pillar and held my breath, only to hear the sound of footsteps getting closer and closer. There were two people coming. The two people were talking, and the voice was still unclear at first, but when they gradually approached, I can already hear what they are saying.Moreover, just between the question and the answer, I already heard who the two people who walked forward were! That's the king and his ministers! The corridor I was in seemed to be a very lonely place, and I would never have imagined that the king and the ministers would come here.I hid myself a little better again.The king sighed: Do you know who I most want to see now? The imperial minister said: I don't know, whoever your majesty wants to see, you can call him to see you! The king sighed again: This man, I want to see him, but I am afraid to see him. It is a pleasure to talk to him, but his inquisitive attitude makes me unacceptable. I don't know where he is now. ! When I heard this, my heart suddenly moved, who is this talking about?It can't be me? The imperial minister was silent for a moment: Your Majesty is talking about Wesley? The king smiled wryly: that's him! The imperial minister was silent again. In the silence, the two of them walked in front of me, and I could see their backs.At that moment, I really wanted to rush out and shout: I am here! But I didn't do that. The reason why I didn't go out to meet the king was because I heard from the king's tone that he had an extremely important secret in his heart. Anyone who has a secret in his heart will always have a desire to tell others about this secret. The king likes to talk to me, of course because he can touch this secret while talking with me.But judging by his situation, he didn't want to reveal this secret.If I show up and meet him, the result will definitely be the same as the last time I met him. There is no result. It would be more useful if I observed and explored in secret. The king and the imperial ministers walked forward, and continued: "This thing has been moved to the palace, is he satisfied?" I heard this sentence inexplicably, and I don't know what he was referring to.But the imperial minister obviously understood: Hmph, this guy has completely forgotten the ancestral precepts of generations, what does he care about, as long as he has money and wine!He even stole ancestral relics to sell!I bet someone would sell the whole thing for a thousand rupees! I cried out in my heart!I understand these few words!The man they're talking about is Bain!So, what was that thing that moved into the palace? When I think of this, my heart beats wildly.Looking forward, I saw the king and the imperial ministers. They had already turned a corner. I hurriedly came out from behind the pillar, and quickly ran forward a few steps against the wall. When I came to the corner, I happened to see the king and the imperial ministers. Minister, stand before a door.The door was locked, and the imperial minister took out a rather huge key, opened the door, let the king go in first, and he himself followed, and then closed the door. I hurriedly came to the door and stood still, the surroundings were extremely quiet, only in the distance, at one end of the corridor, there were slight, rhythmic footsteps, which sounded like guards pacing back and forth. I put my ear on the door, hoping to hear the sound inside the door clearly, but the door is very thick and I can't hear anything. I waited outside the door for about twenty minutes before I heard the sound of the doorknob being turned again. Immediately I dodged into the shadows again and saw the king and the imperial ministers coming out.The king looked very confused, and the imperial ministers solemnly locked the locks.I thought it was funny when I saw him lock it so solemnly, because of this kind of lock, I can open it in half a minute with the simplest tools! The king's expression was not only perplexed, but also a little gloomy.He sighed again: I really don't know what happened, I really want to take a risk in the seven stone chambers, let some light shine in the lowest stone chamber, and see what will happen Accident happened! As soon as I heard this sentence, my heart was shocked!My deduction is not wrong, the king really knows the secret of the seven stone chambers, then, it is not accidental that the king went to that place and designated it as a military restricted area! I was surprised in my heart, but it was only my surprise. Compared with the imperial minister, it was much worse.When the imperial minister heard the king's words, his face turned blue, he shook his hands, and said: Your Majesty, absolutely not! The king smiled bitterly: Do you know what will happen if you shine light in the stone chamber on the bottom floor? The former imperial minister gasped: Of course I don't know, but since there is such a ban, there must be extraordinary accidents, Your Majesty must not think about it any more.Just pretend it doesn't have this thing.Anyway, no one knows about it.The patriarch is dead, Ba Yin is an idiot again, His Majesty doesn't want to, I won't tell, no one in the world will know about it anymore! The king looked directly at the imperial minister: You are wrong, and there is another person who knows, Wesley! I smiled wryly in my heart, because the king was also wrong, besides me, there are two other people who know, I told them that, Bai Lai and Bai Su! The imperial minister was still waving his hand, with a look of panic on his face, the king said nothing more, and walked forward, the minister followed behind, and gradually walked away.After they walked away, I made up my mind.From what the king said, I learned at least one more fact!On the bottom floor of the seven-storey mysterious stone chamber, the old man who was killed by Bain was a patriarch, and Bain was the last member of the clan. What I don't understand is: what kind of family is this?What is the relationship between this clan and the king?Why did the king know that Bain had killed the patriarch.On the contrary, he still treats him like this? As I thought about it, I took out a wire and fiddled with the lock.In less than a minute, I unlocked the door and pushed in. When I opened the door, I froze for a moment, I saw something that I shouldn't see in the palace, but that thing really appeared in front of my eyes! I entered the room and closed the door behind my back.That's right, in front of me is the unknown object I saw in the mysterious stone house that was enshrined like a god! Not only the unknown object is there, but also the stone altar where the object is placed, and the incense and candles around the stone altar are also there. It seems that the whole thing was moved from the stone house! As soon as I saw that thing, I naturally understood that this thing had moved to the palace, and he was satisfied with the meaning of this sentence. This thing is the unknown object.He, of course, refers to Bain.It seems that this thing belongs to Barin, or Barin's family.The king moved it to the palace for some reason.No wonder I couldn't find the stone house, it must have been torn down by the king. The stone house has been demolished so cleanly that no trace can be found. Of course, it is not something ordinary villagers can do. And I can also be sure that the demolished part of the stone house must be only the building on the ground, and the seven-story stone room underground is still there.Because the king mentioned just now that he wanted to go to the bottom floor to get a little light and see what the result would be! I stayed for a while, staying beside this unknown object for about thirty minutes.The first time I saw this unknown object, I couldn't tell what it was.Now, I see this object for the second time.During this period of time, I already knew a lot of things, I knew about Bai Lai's first dream and the second dream, and there was already a part of the whole incredible thing that I didn't want to accept in my heart, but I couldn't help it. Denial concept.So, between my scrutiny of that unknown thing again, I have mixed feelings. Although that thing was enshrined as a god statue, but at this time, it seemed to me that that thing was a part of an extremely delicate mechanical production. That thing could have been a car, or a spaceship, or something similar. It is a kind of thing, but it must have been extremely damaged after being hit with great force. I turned the metal ball on the thing, which apparently seemed to be a spherical wheel that could turn in any direction!Is this part of a spaceship?Was this spaceship (I presume) the same source as the recording apparatus that Bailey said Baine had sold him?Is it from an unfathomable distant planet?And this distant planet is the home of the earthlings?The ancestors of the earth people were sent from this distant planet to the earth because of their crimes, depriving them of the ability to live forever? All these questions came to my mind together, but I couldn't get any answers. I was thinking: what should I do next?Should he tell Bailey about the discovery?I can even predict that as soon as I tell Bai Lai about the situation, Bai Lai will immediately force me to go to the original location of the stone house and excavate the seven underground stone chambers. Why I have such a positive idea, I can't say it myself, I just feel that Bai Lai's words and deeds in recent days have an indescribable taste.He became domineering, and whatever he wanted to do, he was desperate to achieve his goal, and in the process of doing things, he did it for only one purpose, and this purpose was: to go back!Seems like he doesn't care to do anything just to get back! I don't like Bai Lai's attitude very much, and I also think that if you obey Bai Lai's wishes, it may hurt the king. The king has a difficult heart and secrets, and he has the right to keep secrets. Bai Lai and my everything Actions are depriving him of this right. I really didn't know what to do, that's why I stayed in that room for so long. I finally decided to leave the palace first, and after meeting with Bai Su, I will discuss it with Bai Su before making a decision.I came to the door and looked back at the unknown object again.A question that the king once asked came to mind: I really don't know what happened! I left the room, locked the door as usual, walked forward in the corridor, and turned a few corners.Where I came from, I remember well.After a while, he came under the wall again, climbed up the wall, turned over smoothly, and rushed forward for more than a hundred meters before he breathed a sigh of relief.I sneaked into the palace, but no one found me.I slowed down my pace and walked forward. I walked not far away when I suddenly heard a shrill cry in the darkness. That call was heard in the silence of the night, and it was frightening. I immediately turned around and looked in the direction from which the call came from, my heart was also full of doubts.Because that cry sounded like Ba Yin's! I waited, hoping to hear some more noises, to judge what had happened.But after that cry, there was a dead silence all around.I didn't wait long, and ran towards the direction where the cry came from.After turning two corners, a rapid panting sound was heard.I immediately stepped lightly, and then turned a corner, and I saw Bain. Ba Yin's expression was extremely panicked, his face was even contorted in terror, his hand was on his right shoulder, and blood was flowing out from between his fingers.But his expression was only horror, not pain, because at this moment, a sharp knife that shone brightly in the dark was pressing against his throat! Bayin's throat core moved up and down due to uncontrollable horror, every time his throat core moved, the soft flesh around his throat would sink into the tip of the knife.That sharp knife could kill him at any time! It was astonishing enough to see this happening!However, when I saw the man holding the sharp knife clearly, I was even more surprised!That's Bailey! At this time, Bai Lai's expression was so fierce that I almost couldn't recognize who he was.But in Nepal, there will never be another Indian with red and black tattoos on his face! What is Bailey doing?He wants to kill Bing?Why did Bai Lai become so vicious?I clenched my fists tightly and was about to make a sound when I heard Bai Lai say fiercely: You don't recognize me?Yes or no?I also want an antique that you sold, you must find it for me! Bain's voice trembled with fear: I, I can't find it anymore, the place is sealed up, I've sold everything! Bai Lai's expression became more fierce, and he said sharply: "No, I must. If you don't give it to me, I will kill you!" Bayin cried out in a hoarse voice: You can't kill me!I am a man under the special protection of the king! Bai Lai sneered: I don't care about any king!If the goal is not achieved, I will kill even the king! Seeing this, the degree of surprise in my heart can be said to be by no means inferior to Bain.In my life, I have seen many vicious and sinful people, but the expressions of these people, combined, are not as evil as Bai Lai's expression at this time.At this time, Bai Lai is simply the embodiment of evil! I have long felt that there was something wrong with Bai Lai, but I never thought that he would turn out like this! At this moment, I heard footsteps coming over, and at the same time, I heard someone shouting: Bai Lai! It was Bai Su's voice, and I recognized it as soon as I heard it.Just as I was thinking quickly, considering whether it was appropriate for Bai Su to get close to such an evil Bai Lai, I was stunned again! As soon as Bai Su's cry came, Bai Lai moved very quickly, turned the handle of the knife, and hit Ba Yin hard on the head, Ba Yin immediately passed out.Before Bai Yin's body fell to the ground, Bai Lai had already supported him, quickly dragged him into an alley, and immediately walked out again. When he came out of the alley, he had already put away the knife. I glanced at him, and I was even more shocked than before!In just a very short time, he has completely changed his expression! Just now, Bai Lai looked so evil, but at this time, he was honest and honest, as if what I saw just now was just an illusion! As soon as he got out of the alley, he turned around and greeted Bai Su who appeared from the corner of the wall! It really surprised me that Bai Lai was able to completely cover up his behavior just now in an instant! I have always believed that among the evils of human beings, the worst thing is not evil itself, but hiding evil behind goodness! If evil can be seen and guarded against, then it is not real evil. Only when evil is hidden under a honest appearance like Bai Lai, and it does not know when it will suddenly break out, making people hard to guard against, then it is real. It's terrible! At this time, Bai Lai has almost reached the peak of evil on earth. I don't know why he became like this.At this time, I had no time to think deeply, I saw Bai Su approaching Bai Lai, at this moment, the only thing I was worried about was that Bai Su would suddenly be unfavorable to Bai Su, so I yelled suddenly: Bai Su!While screaming, he ran forward. My cry made Bai Lai turn around immediately. I paid attention to his expression. When he just turned around, I could see that there was extreme astonishment, and then he immediately returned to his original state, while Bai Lai As soon as Su saw me, he ran over happily, I held Bai Su's hand, and Bai Lai asked: "How long have you been here?" I pretended that I had never seen anything. This kind of pretense is certainly not a good deed in itself, but when I was shocked by Bai Lai's behavior, I had to try to protect myself.So I immediately said: I just came, how did you find Bai Su? Bai Lai said: As soon as I got back to the hotel, she was already there! I stared at Bai Su: Why did it take you four days to join us, is there a reasonable explanation? Bai Su smiled and said: Of course there is, but it's a long story! Bai Lai showed a very anxious expression: You went to the palace, did you find anything?
