Forbidden City

Chapter 34
I came to unlock his second uncle without his consent. Although we are uncles and nephews, we are not a family after all, and I was looking for an amber coffin behind my back. It sounded, and I was so scared that I dropped the key in my hand on the ground.

Seeing my panic, the second uncle obviously guessed something, and asked with a straight face: "What are you looking for?" I touched my head, feeling ashamed for a moment, wishing I could find a hole in the ground and whispered: " No... didn't find anything, I saw someone upstairs, so I went up to look."

"Is there someone upstairs?" Probably because I have never lied in front of Second Uncle before, Second Uncle seemed to believe it, and asked with a frown, "Did you really see someone?"

I said yes, I saw someone going up the stairs on the first floor, but when I came up, the person was gone.

The second uncle stared at me thoughtfully, and then said in an affirmative tone: "You must have seen the devil, go down." After he finished speaking, he turned around and walked downstairs.

Looking at the back of the second uncle, I didn't move. Although the second uncle said it lightly, I could tell from his words that he didn't believe what I said.However, he didn't point it out, probably because he didn't want to embarrass me.

After walking a few steps, the second uncle looked back at me and asked, "What are you doing there? Come down? Hurry up, it's going to be dark soon."

On the first floor, my second uncle picked up the crossbar and the thick rope and told me to lock the door, and walked towards the land without looking back.After locking the door, I caught up with the second uncle, handed him the key, and then grabbed the crossbar and put it on my shoulder. The second uncle didn't say anything, and walked quickly ahead.

I felt that the second uncle seemed to be angry.

When we got to the entrance of the cave, the second uncle personally tied one end of the thick rope in the middle of the crossbar, then turned on the flashlight, and said to me: "I'll go down first, and you can come down later." After speaking, he bit the tail of the flashlight and grabbed it. The thick rope slowly slid down.

After waiting for about a minute or two, the thick rope swayed twice. I knew that my second uncle had reached the bottom, so I grabbed the thick rope and followed my second uncle's lead and slid down slowly.Because it was quite high down, Shi Zhizhi was a little afraid, so he held on to the rope tightly, and he didn't feel relieved until he slid a meter or two down and was next to a tree.

The rope was thin and soft, and halfway through the slide, my body shook like a swing. I simply climbed onto the tree pole, let go of the rope, and slid down the tree pole, only to be surprised to find that The leaves of this tree are more than half dead!Like being burned.

No wonder the roots of the trees on the surface are dry, and the leaves below are also withered and yellow.What I just don't understand is, why is this tree dying in just a day or two?
I didn't think too much about it because I couldn't think of a reason for it.

After jumping from the tree to the ground, I found that the ground was full of dead leaves. I shone the flashlight on the leaves above my head and said, "Second Uncle, why does this tree look like it's going to die?" Uncle's response, I used a flashlight to shine on my second uncle, and found him standing in front of a coffin, looking into the coffin, motionless.Moreover, all the coffin lids were opened, and the coffin lids were lying on the ground in disorder, as if the place had experienced a catastrophe.

"Second Uncle?" An inexplicable fear surged in my heart.

But the second uncle didn't answer me.

I suddenly thought, could Second Uncle have seen the corpse in the coffin that resembled him?If that's the case, it's no wonder Second Uncle isn't shocked.In fact, I am also quite curious, why the coffin in the coffin looks so similar to the second uncle, this time I have to ask the second uncle.I walked over gently, and when I reached behind my second uncle, my second uncle suddenly turned around, frowning tightly, his face was very ugly, and his eyes were bulging.I was taken aback by Second Uncle's appearance, and asked cautiously, "What's wrong, Second Uncle?"

The second uncle didn't seem to hear me, staring straight ahead and muttering: "How is it possible? Where did it go?"

"Where did it go?" I asked while shining a flashlight into the coffin, only to find that the coffin was empty, and only then did I understand the meaning of what the second uncle said.Maybe the corpse is in another coffin, because my second uncle is there this time, and I am eager to find that corpse to solve my doubts, so I am no longer afraid, and use the flashlight to illuminate the other coffin , But after I took a photo of all the coffins, I was surprised to find that all the coffins were empty.

The corpse was gone!

I hurriedly asked my second uncle: "Second uncle, why is the body in the coffin gone?" As soon as I asked, I knew I was asking for nothing. If my second uncle knew, he wouldn't be so surprised.

The second uncle came back to his senses at this moment, looked at me and asked, "Do you know there is a corpse in the coffin?"

"know."

The second uncle asked again: "Have you seen the corpse inside?"

"I've seen it." I really want to say, that corpse looks very similar to you, and I thought it was you at first.But I was afraid of scaring my second uncle, so I swallowed this sentence abruptly.

The second uncle asked again: "How many corpses have you seen?"

I replied truthfully: "I only saw one, why, are there many corpses in this coffin?"

The second uncle didn't answer me, but looking at him like that, obviously my guess was right. Thinking of the eight coffins, each of which contained a corpse, I couldn't help feeling horrified.

"Where did those corpses go? Did they all jump away by themselves?" I was extremely puzzled.

The second uncle said, "It is impossible for the corpses to jump away. Someone took them away."

"Get it away? Who is so boring."

The second uncle stroked his chin and walked back and forth for a few steps. He thought about it and said, "There are only a few people who come down here. Except for the one surnamed Ling, they are Mu Yi and Lu Fayi. Could it be that the one surnamed Ling took the corpse away?" Was it taken away?" I also thought about it carefully, and it seems that Ling Zhi wants an amber coffin, so he shouldn't be interested in the corpse.On the contrary, Mu Yi and Lu Fayi are more likely to take away the corpse.

"How about I call Mu Yi and ask her?" I looked at my second uncle and asked.The second uncle nodded and said: "Okay, you can ask..." I took out my mobile phone and found that the signal down here was very poor, so I said, "Go up and call again, I guess it won't work down here."

When I got to the surface, I dialed Mu Yi's mobile phone, and just about to speak, my second uncle took my mobile phone over and said, "Let me talk." After Mu Yi's voice came from the mobile phone, the second uncle got straight to the point Ask: "Where did you get the corpses in the coffin?" Mu Yi asked: "What corpses?" The second uncle said coldly: "Don't play dumb, there are six corpses under the tree."

"Those six corpses disappeared?" Mu Yi paused, "Are you sure they disappeared?"

The second uncle said angrily: "Aren't you talking nonsense? If it didn't disappear, I would call you? Did you do it? Let me tell you, the corpse is very important to us. If you take it away, you must Come back, otherwise, I will never end with you!"

"What am I doing with your corpse? I don't know why!" Obviously Mu Yi was also angry.

The second uncle asked again: "Where is that Lu? Did he do it?"

Mu Yi said loudly: "It's not him. If the body really disappeared, I guess, only one person would do it."

"You mean the one surnamed Ling?" Second Uncle frowned again.Mu Yi responded: "Yes, it's him. Listen carefully, from now on, your Yu family can no longer die, let alone in front of Ling Zhi. Also, you'd better destroy that amber coffin as soon as possible. If you don't want to , even if you punch two holes in it, you can’t make it perfect, otherwise, don’t blame me for not reminding you.”

The second uncle paused for a while before asking: "What...what does this have to do with the amber coffin?"

Mu Yi said: "Not only is it related, but it is also related to the life and death of your descendants of the Yu family, so please take care of yourself."

After hanging up the phone, the second uncle scolded: "Damn it, what the hell are you doing? You're playing tricks!"

I heard their conversation very clearly just now. It is expected that the corpses in the coffin were taken away by Ling Zhi, but what I don’t understand is why Ling Zhi took away those corpses. Could it be that he wants to use those corpses as zombies?I heard that there is a great sorcery in Xiangxi, which is refining corpses. Maybe the six coffins are corpses that have been buried for centuries, because they have been under the tree, and the corpses have not decomposed and are well preserved. They are good materials for refining corpses.And since the corpse is under our land, it is probably our ancestor. How could I let Lexus treat our ancestors like this?Then he said to the second uncle: "Second uncle, let's go find that surnamed Ling and get the body back."

The second uncle looked at me and asked in a muffled voice, "Where can I find it?" I said that the surname Ling wanted the amber coffin?We intentionally told where the coffin was, and lured him into the bait. When he came, we brought him down, tortured him to extract a confession, and asked him to hand over his body!The second uncle gave me a blank look, and said coldly: "Can I put him down just by you? And Mu Yi said that the coffin is related to the life and death of our Yu family's descendants. Even if he dies, we can't let him know Where is the coffin!"

"By the way, why is that coffin related to the life and death of our Yu family?" I asked extremely puzzled.
