Forbidden City

Chapter 39 Chamber of Secrets ([-])

The second uncle pondered for a long time.Seeing him like this, I thought to myself, he doesn't believe in Ling Ziyao, so naturally he won't agree to me. I was thinking about how to persuade him, but my second uncle looked at me and asked: "Have you forgotten what Mu Yi said? Once a ghost fetus is born Come down, and one person in the village will die."

My heart sank suddenly, I was thinking about having a baby, but I forgot about this important thing.If what Mu Yi said is true, then the one who is going to die is Xiao Hua.How can I sacrifice someone else's life for my own child?Therefore, when the second uncle said this, I was speechless for a while.

Unexpectedly, Ling Ziyao said: "In fact, there is no need to die. As long as Yu Feng is willing to give me a drop of blood, the child can be born smoothly without harming anyone."

"Really?" I was pleasantly surprised, but at the same time dubious.

Ling Ziyao nodded and said, "It's true. I've been waiting for you for 200 years, will I still harm you?"

I said excitedly: "In this case, Second Uncle, let me borrow your amber coffin."

The second uncle frowned and bowed his head in silence. Seeing him like this, my heart was disappointed one after another. Unexpectedly, the second uncle said: "Okay, I will lend you the amber coffin, but there is one thing I want to confirm." Just a moment." I hurriedly asked what was the matter, but the second uncle ignored it, but looked at Ling Ziyao and asked, "Let Yu Feng give you a drop of blood, will he be okay?" Ling Ziyao said, "Just a drop of blood, no Something happened."

"Okay, if that's the case, then follow me." The second uncle said, turning around and walking towards the house.

At this time, the sky was slightly bright.Ling Ziyao and I looked at each other, I saw her touch her protruding belly and smiled slightly, I was also very happy in my heart, I couldn't help holding her hand tightly, her hand was cold, but I didn't let go, and Ling Ziyao also let her go I grabbed it, with a happy smile on my face.

We arrived at the second uncle's house soon, and as soon as we entered the house, the second uncle locked the door from the inside and led us to a small room near the kitchen.This room is only seven or eight square meters, and there are broken tables, chairs, hoes and other things in a mess, like a grocery room.I don't understand why Second Uncle brought us to this room. Can such a huge coffin be placed in such a small room?Could Second Uncle be playing tricks on us?
I was about to ask my second uncle, but he said, "Close the door."

"What...what are you doing here? Where's the coffin?" I asked suspiciously.

The second uncle said with a straight face and coldly: "Close the door."

I was worried that my second uncle was in trouble, so I didn't close the door, so I still asked, "Where is the coffin?"

The second uncle seemed to be angry. He glanced at me and said extremely displeased: "If you see the coffin, just obey me and close the door."

Ling Ziyao and I glanced at each other, Ling Ziyao nodded towards me, and I closed the door resentfully.Then the second uncle faced us and said very solemnly: "Now, you will see a big secret of our Yu family. I hope you don't tell this secret." Seeing his serious look, I felt inexplicably nervous.Why don't I know the secret of our Yu family?

Ling Ziyao said: "Don't worry, we won't say anything."

The second uncle turned around again, unhurriedly picked up the rotten tables and broken chairs on the floor one by one, and placed them neatly at the door of the room. Ling Ziyao and I looked at each other, staring blankly. Oh, I don't know what the second uncle is doing.

Finally, he cleared out a space of two square meters, and there was a small bench there. He glanced back at us, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and a slight smile floated across his face. ——” A small black hole about one meter high and half a meter wide suddenly appeared in a wall in front of it.

Ling Ziyao and I stared wide-eyed, we didn't expect there to be a mechanism in this crappy place!I think, if I hadn't known about this earlier, no one would have discovered this secret.And I vaguely guessed that the amber coffin must be hidden in it.However, the hole is so small and the amber coffin is so big, how did it get in?
The second uncle got in through the hole, and after a while, with a bang, the wall on the left receded to both sides, and a two-meter-wide and two-meter-high gate suddenly appeared in front of him.

It turns out that there are organs in that hole!
Could it be that this is a big secret of our Yu family?What's behind that door?I can't wait to go in and have a look.

Soon, the second uncle got out of the small hole, and said to Ling Ziyao and me who were in a daze, "Come with me." He walked into the door, then reached out and pressed a button on the back of the door. At first, the lights inside came on.I walked in curiously, and found a 25-watt incandescent lamp on the wall, but I didn't see any wires. I couldn't help asking: "Second Uncle, where is this wire?" Second Uncle said, "It's in the wall."

I yelled, looked forward, and suddenly found that my second uncle was gone, I was startled, and hurriedly called: "Second uncle?" I heard my second uncle answer in front of me: "Here, quickly follow." I I turned around and glanced at Ling Ziyao, and walked a few steps forward with her, and found that there was a path of stone steps going down obliquely in front of me, and my second uncle was standing in the middle of the stone steps and looking back at us.I couldn't help laughing and said: "This is the way, I thought you disappeared, and I was taken aback." The second uncle said lightly: "You are too young, you are so surprised. Your uncle and I are not ghosts." , how could it suddenly disappear out of thin air?"

"Hey, I'm afraid you're weirder than a ghost." I joked.

The second uncle put on a straight face, and deliberately said angrily: "Your second uncle, I am a decent person, how can I compare with ghosts? Stop talking nonsense, come down quickly, if you dawdle any longer, don't come down."

"Here we come." Ling Ziyao and I couldn't help but quicken our pace.

There are about twelve steps in the stone steps. At the bottom, the second uncle turned on the lamp on the wall, and suddenly there was a bright light in front of him, and a secret room of about [-] square meters suddenly appeared. The amber coffin was in the center of the secret room, like a The king stands there, looking solemn and steady.

And in this secret room, there are also five tall shelves, each of which contains different porcelain, jade and some antiques that I have never seen before.I was dazzled for a moment, and deeply regretted. I opened my eyes wide and asked, "Second Uncle, why do we have so many precious things in our family? This...isn't this a fortune?"

The second uncle said lightly: "This is the wealth left by our ancestors in the Yu family. What's the fuss about?"

Ling Ziyao's eyes swept across the shelves, and a trace of sadness and pain suddenly appeared on her face. I was surprised and asked, "Ziyao, what's the matter?" Ling Ziyao said, "There are many treasures and antiques. It belongs to our Ling family."

"Ah?" My second uncle and I glanced at each other, feeling very embarrassed for a while.

Ling Ziyao went on to say: "Back then, our Ling family and your Yu family were two big enemies. In a fight, our Ling family killed your Yu family, but what we didn't expect was that there were two people living in the Yu family. One is Yu Zhong, the other is his elder brother. When they grew up, they became well-known local robbers. On a dark and stormy night, they attacked our Ling family, except for me and an uncle who was out of town. , our Ling family was exterminated."

"Is that what we're starting to see?" I asked.

Ling Ziyao nodded, and continued: "During that massacre, the eldest son of the Yu family robbed all of our Ling family's treasures and hid them all here."

"This..." The second uncle rubbed his chin and said solemnly: "This is a thing of the past, it's a thing of the past, we don't need to mention it anymore, now, aren't you getting married with Feng Feng? Then you are a member of our Yu family, and these treasures belong to the three of us regardless of whether they belong to the Ling family or the Yu family. Don't worry, I will not take these treasures to myself, and I will share half of them with you."

"Second Uncle, these treasures are all rare treasures, we can't keep them to ourselves, we have to dedicate them to the country." I joked.

"**!" Second Uncle scolded, "You think your Second Uncle has lost his mind? You're stupid, I'm not stupid..."

"We can't use up these treasures in our lifetime."

The second uncle interrupted me very angrily and said: "Stop talking nonsense, the coffin is over there, if you want it, go and use it quickly, to avoid long nights and dreams, we have to go out immediately when we run out!"
