Forbidden City

Chapter 43 The Evil Formation
In fact, what the second uncle asked is what I have always wanted to know, so when the second uncle asked, I immediately looked at Mu Yi, waiting for her to give us a clear answer.

But Mu Yi looked at Ling Ziyao and said, "You came out of the amber coffin? I think you should know more about this than me, right?"

But Ling Ziyao said: "I don't know about it, I only know that Ling Zhi has always wanted the amber coffin."

"Really?" Mu Yi obviously didn't believe Ling Ziyao, and asked coldly: "Then why are you lying in the amber coffin? And, you became half human and half ghost."

"Half-human, half-ghost?" I asked in surprise, "Ziyao is half-human, half-ghost?"

"Of course." Mu Yi said: "She was a normal person, but after lying in the amber coffin for hundreds of years, she gradually became half human and half ghost. It is impossible for a person to live for such a long time."

The second uncle said disapprovingly: "I don't understand this. After lying in a coffin for a hundred years, she didn't die? Even if she didn't suffocate to death, she must starve to death, right? In this way, she should be a ghost, not half human and half human." ghost."

Mu Yi said seriously: "This is related to the amber coffin and the other seven coffins."

It turned out that the amber coffin and the other seven coffins were arranged in the shape of seven stars, forming a strange array of seven stars. Among them, the amber coffin was placed in the center, which became the coffin of souls. The soul of a person makes the person in the dead man's coffin never die.

Hearing what Mu Yi said, my second uncle and I were inexplicably horrified, we never thought that there would be such a weird thing in this world, if we hadn't encountered it ourselves, we would never have believed it.However, what puzzles me is why Ling Ziyao has become a half-human, half-ghost, even though the people in the coffin of dead souls can never die?

I expressed the doubt in my heart, Mu Yi looked at Ling Ziyao and said: "This, you should know better." But Ling Ziyao said again: "I... I don't know."

"I don't know?" Mu Yi asked again: "Then why are you in the amber coffin?"

Ling Ziyao looked at me, then at the child in her arms, her eyes were looking forward, her face was sad, as if she had returned to the past full of sadness, after a long while, she said solemnly: "Back then, Brother Zhong died, I was sad and desperate, and I thought I would die and follow her. At this time, the uncle of our Ling family who survived because of going out came back. After he knew what happened, he was not in a hurry to take revenge, but He told me that if I really want to be with Brother Zhong, he can help me, but it needs my cooperation. I didn’t understand at first, how can we be together when Brother Zhong is dead? Could it be that uncle misses me died too, and was buried next to Brother Zhong?"

"I see!" Second Uncle suddenly shouted: "Among the seven coffins, one of the corpses in the coffin looked very similar to Feng Feng. I thought it was Feng Feng at first, but it turned out that it wasn't him, but Yu Zhong. !"

In fact, I also want to say that there is a coffin that looks very similar to you.

"Yes, it's Brother Zhong." Ling Ziyao's eyes were red, and she said quietly: "My uncle really buried us together. I think that's fine, and I will be with Brother Zhong forever from now on. However, Ling What I don't understand is that after lying in the coffin, I slowly fell asleep, and when I woke up, I found that I was still alive!"

Mu Yi said: "You don't know that you have become a ghost."

"I didn't know at first." Ling Ziyao said: "But later, when I came to the ground, I found that everything had changed, and then I realized that 200 years have passed. I also remembered what my uncle said to me back then. He said , I just need to sleep in the coffin, and when I wake up, I can see Brother Zhong, but that is not the real Brother Zhong, it is just his afterlife."

When Ling Ziyao said this, we probably understood the whole story.I am overwhelmed with emotion, Ling Ziyao has waited for 200 years, and finally waited for the appearance of her beloved, this waiting is earth-shattering and epic.Although Yu Zhong is my ancestor and I am a completely different person to me, but to Ling Ziyao, Yu Zhong and I are the same person.Maybe, she transferred her love for Zhong to me, or maybe, she just fulfilled her original promise to Zhong, that's why she had a one-night relationship with me and gave birth to a child.

Mu Yi looked at Ling Ziyao and asked: "Could it be, you don't know that the seven-star formation is related to the life and death of the Yu family?"

As soon as I heard this, I suddenly regained my energy. This is something I have always wanted to know. The second uncle obviously cared about this matter very much. He clasped his hands and took a step forward to look closely at Ling Ziyao.Unexpectedly, Ling Ziyao shook her head and said, "I don't know, how could this be related to the life and death of the Yu family?"

Mu Yi frowned slightly, and looked at me and my second uncle, apparently not believing Ling Ziyao's words.

I chose to believe in Ling Ziyao, so I said to Mu Yi: "You must know about this, please tell me, what does the Douzhuan Seven Star Formation have to do with our Yu family?"

Mu Yi said: "If my guess is correct, as long as one more member of your Yu family lies in the coffin, your Yu family will become extinct."

"Ah?" My second uncle and I were shocked and looked at each other.I hurriedly asked: "This...what does this have to do with our Yu family? How could it be so unrepeatable?"

Mu Yi said: "Actually, the Douzhuan Seven Stars Array is an evil array. It consists of eight coffins in total. Seven ordinary coffins form the Douzhuan Seven Stars shape, enclosing a Soul Gathering Coffin. The other seven coffins Those who lie in the coffin are dead, and they are of the same clan, and those who lie in the coffin are living people, and their lives are continued by the souls in the seven coffins. Because the seven coffins are dead bodies, in fact, the coffin The lives absorbed are the lives of the descendants of the people who lie in the seven coffins. That is to say, the people who lie in the soul-gazing coffin are from the Ling family, and the people who lie in the seven coffins are from the Yu family. The family lives by the lives of the descendants of the Yu family. At present, only six of the seven coffins contain corpses, so your Yu family will not be extinct for a while. Once another corpse is put in, your descendants of the Yu family will die. Your life will definitely be absorbed, if so, your Yu family will have no offspring, not one will be left behind."

The second uncle and I were dumbfounded, and the second uncle scolded: "This Douzhuan Seven Star Formation is so vicious, who did it?"

"Who else is there besides the Ling family?" I smiled wryly.

According to my guess, the Ling family and the Yu family became two big enemies back then, and both sides wished to kill all the members of each other's clan and wipe out the roots.That night, the eldest son of the Yu family attacked the Ling family. Except for Ling Ziyao and one of her uncles who survived, the rest of the Ling family were killed.The uncle of the Ling family knew that he could not kill the eldest son Yu and could not avenge him, so he made a longer and more vicious plan, which was to use the seven-star formation to kill Yu's family. This formation is not only vicious, but also requires sacrifices. A living person, then Ling Ziyao became a victim of this formation.

I said my guess, and Ling Ziyao's expression suddenly changed.Her face was already very white, but now it has become even whiter. She murmured: "I didn't know it would be like this. Back then, I just wanted to be with Brother Zhong, and I just wanted to see him again. I didn't expect that uncle would Use this trick to deal with Yu Jia."

"As long as one of the seven coffins is empty, our Yu family will be fine, right?" Second Uncle asked.

Mu Yi said: "No, although your Yu family will not end, but it will become zero day by day."

The second uncle scolded: "Damn, no wonder I can't get my wife and have children. It turned out to be the fault of this formation! It seems that the surname Ling not only wants the amber coffin, but also wants to deal with our Yu family. Damn, this After so many years, the Ling family has not forgotten this hatred, nor given up this vicious idea, it is really frighteningly scary!"

And now, I finally understand the purpose of Ling Zhi's coming here. First, he wants to find the amber coffin so that the Douzhuan Seven-Star Array can continue to expand, and second, he wants to kill me and my second uncle and put our bodies in the coffin.At the same time, I also understood why Wu Banxian died in the first place. He obviously discovered this secret. Ling Zhi didn't want Wu Banxian to destroy his plan, so he simply became malicious and killed him!
After Wu Banxian died, he still used his remaining soul to come to me and told me to disrupt the seven-star formation, reminding me to beware of this evil formation.I suddenly developed a feeling of admiration for Wu Banxian. It can be said that he died because of me, and even more so because of our Yu family.

The second uncle suddenly asked again: "What's the matter with that fallen tree?"
