When Gu Xi walked near the statue of Tiandao Guanyin in white, the crowd watching the excitement had already left.
Gu Xi raised his head and glanced at the huge Guanyin statue several hundred meters high, took a deep breath, and was about to walk in.
Unexpectedly, a security guard stopped in front of Gu Xi at this time: "It's half past four. I'm off work. Please come back tomorrow to visit." "Closing
so early?"
Gu Xi was speechless. He walked for most of the day. When you get here, you can’t help but go up and touch the statue of Guanyin in White Clothes of Tiandao.
"There is no way. The place must be cleared before six o'clock, and the door will be closed at four-thirty."
The security uncle is a mortal. When he saw that Gu Xi was not weird, he naturally started talking.
Hearing this, Gu Xi raised his eyebrows. Clear the place before six o'clock?
Is it possible that the Great Avalokitesvara Statue of Heavenly Dao in White has other destinations after six o'clock?
Seeing the serious look on the security guard's face, Gu Xi knew that he had no way to get in.
However, Gu Xi didn't want to rush back. He couldn't run away in vain.
So Gu Xi asked: "Is there a tavern nearby where you can see the Great Guanyin Statue? I want to find a place to have a drink." "
Yes, there are roadside stalls in the alley over there. You must look at them. Light the cart with white lanterns and get in."
Hearing the white lanterns again, Gu Xi also had a trace of doubt in his heart.
Goto Mino also said before that if you go back at night, if it is too late, you can call a carriage, but it must be a carriage with white lanterns lit.
Is it possible that this white lantern has a different meaning?
Although he had such doubts in his heart, Gu Xi still didn't ask any more questions. Maybe among the mortals in this world, the idea of white lanterns was their common sense.
Gu Xi followed the direction pointed by the security guard, turned around and walked to a nearby alley.
Sure enough, there were already some people pushing carts out in this alley.
Gu Xi found that after they fixed the trolley, they didn't take out the food first, but hung up the lantern first.
In addition to the white lanterns mentioned by the security guard, there are also green lanterns and black lanterns hung at nearby stalls.
Gu Xi took one look at that kind of stall, hesitated for a moment, and did not commit suicide on the first day. Finally, he sat down at a stall with white lanterns hanging on it.
At this time, the boss was sorting the ingredients. When he saw Gu Xi sitting down, the boss quickly stepped forward and asked.
"Guest, what do you want to eat? This is the menu."
Gu Xi looked through the menu and found that the most expensive item here was only 150 yuan, and the cheapest item was almost 30 yuan.
Gu Xi thought for a while, took out a ten thousand yuan note and put it on the table.
"Bring me some food and wine. I'll probably sit here until after six o'clock, and you can watch the food being served."
Seeing Gu Xi's actions, the boss thought for a moment, and finally collected the money.
"Guest, please wait, I will serve you the food right away."
As the boss said this, he turned around and served Gu Xi three small plates of pickles.
After that, he poured a plate of sake for Gu Xi, and then started to deal with other ingredients.
Gu Xi smelled the wine and found that the wine seemed very light, as light as drinking boiled water. The food served was normal and tasted pretty good. If you don’t have big requirements, it’s not a problem to spend an hour or two eating here.
But Gu Xi was more curious about what the other two lantern stalls were selling.
Without getting up, Gu Xi took a look from a distance.
At the stall with a green lantern hanging, the owner was grilling the tentacles of an octopus with human eyes.
As for the stall with the black lantern, it was too far away and Gu Xi couldn't see it clearly. The only thing he could see was a watermelon over there, with pink brains inside of it.
Gu Xi felt that these two stalls were not for mortals to eat and drink, but which one corresponded to the weird ones during the day and which one corresponded to the soldiers at night.
While Gu Xi was thinking about this, the boss had already delivered the first portion of food.
It was a piece of saury as long as an index finger.
Looking at the grilled saury that could be eaten in one bite, Gu Xi couldn't help but shake his head.
No wonder this thing only costs 30 yuan. It turns out that the head itself is not big.
Gu Xi put the saury in front of his nose and smelled it. Just as he was about to take a bite, he found a woman sitting in front of the green stall next to him.
This woman was wearing a mask and a long windbreaker, the kind of perverted style that can scare people when she pulls the windbreaker open on the street.
After sitting down, she pointed to the freshly grilled tentacles and said, "Boss, have a skewer!"
"Here you go."
The boss placed a skewer of the freshly grilled octopus tentacles in front of the woman. The woman patted the table and made a skewer. When the green light fell, Gu Xi found that he couldn't see the woman's actions clearly.
"Boss, what's going on?"
Gu Xi pointed at the green light and asked.
While the boss was grilling something, he said with a smile: "Guests seldom come out to eat, right? The Green Lantern is a weird eating stall. Some weird things will trigger taboos if people see their faces, but you can't eat with your face exposed." Face.
So every stall will have such a lantern, and there is one in front of you. If you don’t want people to see you, and you don’t want to see the weirdness outside, you can tap the white button in front of the table. But you have to be gentle
, The buttons in my house are old things and have been repaired several times."
Gu Xi looked down and found that there was a white button in front of the table. Gu Xi thought for a moment, then looked up at the lanterns on the stall and found that there were a total of Five white lanterns were hung, corresponding to the five positions in front of the stall.
After understanding something, Gu Xi didn't say anything more. He put the saury in his mouth, bit it hard, and started to eat it with big mouthfuls.
As time passed by, Gu Xi noticed that after five o'clock, there were many strange things coming from all directions towards the statue of Guanyin in white.
They now seem to ignore some bans and just appear on the streets.
When Gu Xi looked at them, they also looked at Gu Xi, but had no intention of attacking Gu Xi. They just glanced at Gu Xi one more time before entering the park area of the White-clad Guanyin of Heaven.
The security guard who stopped Gu Xi before didn't even pay attention to these weird things and just let them in.
This situation makes Gu Xi quite puzzled. Even if these people who come in are weird, you haven't got off work yet. You have the momentum to block him before.
"This is a roasted lantern, best eaten while it's hot."
At this time, the boss brought the freshly baked food to Gu Xi. When he saw Gu Xi looking towards the statue of Guanyin in white, the boss also asked.
"What are you looking at?"
