Forbidden City

Chapter 19 Who to Trust

Ling Zhi said: "The reason Wu Banxian died is because of one word: He is stupid! Stubborn! Self-righteous!"

I scolded in my heart, your sister, I don't know which teacher taught your math.

Ling Zhi went on to say: "This was originally a fierce place. The reason why there have been no murders in your village for many years is because there is an inverted tree there. As the saying goes, it is the tree that suppresses the shade. The demons in the ground, at the same time, there are eight coffins in the ground, arranged in a seven-star formation, which is this formation, assisting that tree, and subduing demons. However, Wu Banxian, who is only half a bucket of water, just said that the formation is a fierce formation , to disrupt it. If my guess is correct, Wu Banxian must have gone down to the cave again yesterday, and he wanted to disrupt the formation, but in the end, he died."

Everyone looked at each other, half-believing and half-doubting, and I was not sure for a while whether I should believe Ling Zhi's words. What he said was well-founded, and I couldn't find a flaw for a while.The main reason is that I don't know much about this aspect. I am an outsider. We can only listen to what he, an insider, says.

Uncle Zhou frowned and said, "It seems that Wu Banxian was killed by the demon below the hole? But why are there two holes in his neck?"

"Yes, yes." Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay. This was a question that everyone wanted to know very much.

Ling Zhi said with a long voice: "This-I'd better not say it, so as not to scare you. In short, if you don't want to die like him, you have to listen to me. Now, burn Wu Banxian's body immediately. Yes, find that amber coffin and put it back..."

The second uncle suddenly jumped out from the back of the house, holding a two-meter long stick and hitting the back of Ling Zhi's head. We were all taken aback. Ling Zhi found the surprise in our eyes and felt it again. The cold wind that came from behind subconsciously lowered his head and dodged the blow. The second uncle hit him directly on the head with another stick. This stick hit Ling Zhi's shoulder. This kid With a scream, he fell straight forward.

"Second Bridge!" Zhou Bo yelled.

I came back to my senses, looked around, and wanted to find a good weapon to go up to help my second uncle.The second uncle swung his stick at Lexus one after another, cursing at the same time: "Kill you bastard!" After being hit by that stick, Ling Zhi became furious, and while falling forward, he grabbed a stool and threw two backhands The uncle threw it over, and the second uncle knocked the stool down with a stick.

Ling Zhi saw that his second uncle was approaching ferociously, so he avoided and retreated, pointed at his second uncle and shouted: "You dare to hurt people..." The second uncle scolded: "I'm going to abolish you! Dare to kill me in my territory, you are so audacious !" After that, there were another series of violent attacks on Lexus.Ling Zhi's eyes suddenly burst into flames, and suddenly he kicked the second uncle's arm. The second uncle snorted, and the stick in his hand fell to the ground. He saw a hatchet on the ground, picked it up and rushed towards Ling Zhi again.Ling Zhi's wind was not good, so he ran away, shouting as he ran: "You fools in the mountains, don't do what I say, you are waiting to die!"

The second uncle didn't go after Ling Zhi, he also knew himself, he couldn't beat Ling Zhi at all, just now Ling Zhi saw that there were so many of us, and he had some scruples, so he didn't hit the second uncle harshly, and the second uncle chased after him, for fear of repeating the same mistakes. We're going to go the same way as last night, and I'm afraid we won't be as lucky as last night during the day, and Mu Yi won't show up in time to save us.

By the way, I suddenly thought, where did Muyi go?Why hasn't it appeared?
The second uncle chopped the hatchet on a stool in front of him, and said loudly: "You—don't believe that beast's nonsense, he is a magic stick, a murderer, in fact, he killed Wu Banxian! He came to our village, in fact He has a purpose, he can fool you, but not me!"

Everyone looked at each other, and one of the uncles asked, "How do you know that he killed the half-immortal?"

The second uncle waved his hand, glared at him and said, "Does it need to be said? Wu Banxian is the only person here who dares to say that he is wrong. He wants to eliminate dissidents. Also, he wants to burn Wu Banxian. Obviously, it is I want to destroy the corpse and wipe out the traces, so I tell you that no one is allowed to move Wu Banxian's corpse until Mu Yi comes back!"

Finally talking about Mu Yi, I quickly asked, "Where is Mu Yi? Where did she go?"

Uncle Zhou said: "She went to the city to find a forensic doctor, and she said she would ask the forensic doctor to look at the cause of Wu Banxian's death."

An uncle asked: "Then...do we believe Mr. Ling's words or not?"

"Believe it!" The second uncle glared at the uncle, and said angrily, "If he could believe what he said, he wouldn't have killed me and Feng Feng last night."

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, confused for a while.

Uncle Zhou thought for a while, looked at the coffin in the main room and said, "Why don't we talk about it after Miss Muyi comes back, everyone don't burn the body of the half-immortal for now."

"That's all there is to it."

"Just now, Mr. Ling said that he wanted to retrieve that amber coffin. What was it?" the uncle who spoke just now asked again.

"It's nothing," the second uncle immediately said, "That guy named Ling is talking nonsense, don't believe a word of it, I think he's actually here to brainwash you, to coax you all around one by one, and then turn the family into a mess. Give him all the valuable things, I have seen this kind of person a lot!"

The uncle didn't make another sound, Zhou Bo said: "Then--Er Qiao, you and Feng Feng are guarding the body of the half-immortal, don't let it come out again."

The second uncle raised his head, glanced at Uncle Zhou, and said, "I don't have the skills. I don't think there is any need to guard at all. Just take a lock and lock it. No one dares to touch Wu Banxian's body except the one named Ling." , as long as everyone sees him, they will chop him with a knife and drive him out of the village to ensure that Wu Banxian's body is safe."

Uncle Zhou looked at his second uncle, his lips moved, and he wanted to say something, but he hesitated at last, and turned to me and said, "The seal is up to you." I said awkwardly, "I'm going to Guard the land, and no one can go down into the cave." The second uncle said, "Why don't you guard Wu Banxian here, and I'll guard the entrance of the cave." He frowned again, touched his chin and said : "Now what we want to guard against is that surnamed Ling, but none of us are his opponents. Even if there are people guarding here, if he wants to steal the corpse, no one can stop him."

The uncle who spoke just now asked again: "What if what Mr. Ling said is right? If we don't follow suit, then..."

"Isn't what I said clear enough? You can't believe what Ling said!" The second uncle glared and said, "What did he say? As long as that evil animal doesn't make trouble, I guarantee that the village will be safe and the world will be peaceful!"

The uncle asked: "What if something really happens?"

"I'll just write my name upside down!" The second uncle pulled out the hatchet on the stool and slashed down again, almost cutting the stool in half. Don't guard against any of you, just guard against that bastard surnamed Ling!"

There were discussions and discussions, but in the end they couldn't make a decision, so Uncle Zhou had no choice but to stand up and smooth things over, and said solemnly: "Now that this has happened, I'm just like everyone else, and I'm panicked. No matter whether Mr. Ling is right or not, I think what Miss Muyi said is absolutely correct, she told me before she left, and reminded me of two points: one is to look after Wu Banxian's corpse; the other is not to allow people to enter the cave..."

"See? It's the same as what I said." The second uncle said proudly: "Mu Yi is the real Mr. Yin and Yang. I think she should be an official sent by the government, otherwise she would not go to the forensic doctor, let alone It's like a piece of shit with the surname Ling."

Uncle Zhou looked at his second uncle, not very happy, and said sullenly, "Miss Muyi also told me to keep an eye on you and Fengfeng, saying that your lives might be in danger."

The second uncle paused, then snorted coldly and said, "It's nothing more than telling me to be wary of someone surnamed Ling."

I feel that Mu Yi is indeed not simple, she seems to have found out some clues, and also saw Ling Zhi's purpose, when she comes, I must ask her clearly.

Time passed quickly, and it was almost noon, everyone was going back to eat, and in the end only my second uncle and I were left. I told my second uncle that my key was missing and I had to find the key. The second uncle said, the village is so big, where can If you can find it, just pry the door open.I thought if I couldn't find the key, I had to do this, and I didn't want the second uncle to find Ling Ziyao, so I said to him: "I'll go find the key first, and you stay here to guard Uncle Banxian, and come back after I open the door." Replace you."
