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 and it's time to get off work. Please come back tomorrow to visit."

"Closing so early?"

Gu Xi's face was speechless. He had walked for a long time to get here. He couldn't help but go up and touch the statue of Guanyin in white.

"There's nothing we can do. We have to clear the place before six o'clock, and of course it will close at four-thirty."

The security guard uncle was a mortal. Seeing 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 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 the carts lit with white lanterns and sit in."

Hearing the white lantern 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 hanging 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, if you want something to eat, here 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 behavior, 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 spoke, he turned around and served three small plates of pickles to Gu Xi.

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 afar.

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 roasted tentacles and said, "Boss, have a bunch!"

"for you."

The boss placed a bunch of freshly grilled octopus tentacles in front of the woman. The woman slapped the table and a green light fell. Gu Xi found that he could not 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 will be 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. My buttons are old and have been repaired several times. "

Gu Xi lowered his head and saw that there was a white button in front of the table. Gu Xi thought for a moment and then looked up at the lanterns on the stall. He found that there were five white lanterns hanging here, which corresponded to the five in front of the stall. Location.

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?"
