Forbidden City

Chapter 54 Second Uncle's Plan

I don't believe that the second uncle can beat Lexus away. Could it be that Ling Zhi snatched the amber coffin, and the second uncle deliberately said so to cover up the anger in his heart?However, seeing the second uncle's relaxed look, he doesn't look like someone who has been defeated at all.

"Then how did you beat Ling away?" I asked curiously.

The second uncle said lightly: "Of course it is with these hands." He clenched his fists, stretched them out in front of me, shook them, looked at Xinxin again, and then ordered: "I'm hungry, go cook. After eating, You and Miss Muyi go to the city, this child changes every day and will frighten the old men in the village."

Drive us away again?Ziyao's matter has not been settled yet, do you want me to take her to the city?
Mu Yi helped me hold the baby, and I went to cook, while the second uncle moved an old-fashioned rocking chair and put it at the door, and sat on it to sleep with his eyes closed.

While cooking, I asked Mu Yi what to do with Ling Ziyao in the future, and if there is any way to keep her soul forever.Ling Ziyao said: "Although there is a way, but it is very difficult." I was overjoyed, as long as there is a way, no matter how difficult it is, I will try it, so I asked her what the way is, Mu Yi said: "You can use the bucket to turn the seven-star formation Protect her soul."

"Douzhuan Seven Star Formation?" A shadow floated in my heart, "Isn't this formation capable of harming people? How can this formation be used?" Mu Yi said: "Although this formation can harm people, if the other seven If there is no corpse in the coffin, then everything will be fine. It can keep the soul in the main coffin for hundreds of years."

"This way..." I felt a little relieved, and asked again: "Will that make Ziyao wake up? I hope she can live a normal life like a human being."

"It's hard." Mu Yi said, "At least for now, I don't know how to let her live a normal life as a half-human and half-ghost."

After hearing this, I felt sad again, so I could only sigh in a deep voice: "Then use the Douzhuan Seven Star Formation to save Ziyao's soul first." But Mu Yi said: "You still need the consent of your second uncle. "I felt bad, so I quickly asked, why did my second uncle agree, Mu Yi said: "The main coffin of the Douzhuan Seven Star Formation cannot be an ordinary coffin, that is to say, Ling Ziyao needs to be placed in an amber coffin .”

"Do you want the amber coffin?" I felt that the second uncle might not agree. He regards the amber coffin as his lifeblood, so why would he give it to me so easily?But Mu Yi said: "Yes, the amber coffin must be used, otherwise, if it is an ordinary coffin, Ling Ziyao's soul will not be kept for long."

I thought about it, looked out the door and said, "I'll talk to my second uncle later."

Mu Yi frowned slightly, as if she had something to say, I asked her what was wrong, and she said, "I'm worried that your second uncle has already given the amber coffin to Ling Zhi."

Yes, I thought so at the beginning, the second uncle couldn't beat Ling Zhi at all, and Ling Zhi left again, so there is only one possibility, Ling Zhi got what he wanted.And what that dog day wants is nothing more than an amber coffin.However, with the character of the second uncle, he would never willingly hand over the amber coffin to others.

"Second uncle will not give the amber coffin to Ling Zhi." I said with certainty: "Second uncle is not such a person."

During the meal, I poured my second uncle a full glass of wine, and brought him some vegetables. I was thinking about how to tell my second uncle about it, but after thinking about it for a long time, I couldn't think of a good word. When something came to light, he asked while sipping his wine, "What's the matter, Feng Feng? Do you need something from your second uncle?"

No one really knows me like my second uncle.I exchanged glances with Mu Yi, and said with a hey smile: "Second Uncle, look at my Xinxin, who looks different every day, and will grow up in a short time, if she asks me about her mother in the future, what do you think I should answer? "

"This is really hard to answer." The second uncle took another sip of wine, thought for a while and said, "Otherwise, the child is still young and I don't know who her mother is. When she grows up, ask her mother." , you just say, her mother—is Miss Muyi."

"Me?" Mu Yi almost jumped up.

I was also dumbfounded.

The second uncle said: "Yes, let's say you are her mother."

"This... how can this work?" Mu Yi said with a straight face: "When did I become her mother? Don't talk about it." I also quickly said: "This trick won't work, Xinxin knows her mother." Two Uncle bulged his eyes and said, "How old is she? How can she know who is her mother? Just like a little tadpole, how do you think it knows who is its mother?"

I couldn't laugh or cry, so I had to tell about Xinxin's performance when we went to Tang Bo's house to find Ling Ziyao today. After hearing this, the second uncle touched his chin and said, "It seems that this little ghost is really extraordinary. Then your ghost daughter-in-law is now What's the situation?" I told the truth about Ling Ziyao's situation, and finally had to confess to my second uncle: "Now Ziyao needs an amber coffin to protect her soul, otherwise, she will fly away."

"So that's how it is." The second uncle drank a sip of wine, took another piece of meat and chewed slowly, without making a sound for a long time.Mu Yi and I looked at each other again, each frowning.With the expression of the second uncle, I really don't know what he is thinking in his heart.

I couldn't wait any longer, and tentatively asked, "Is it all right, Second Uncle?"

Unexpectedly, the second uncle refused straight away: "No."

When I heard this, I felt chills in my heart, and said angrily: "Second uncle, although Ziyao is a ghost, she is still your niece and daughter-in-law, and she is your only niece and daughter-in-law. Is the amber coffin so important to you? not on..."

"It's not that I won't give you the amber coffin." The second uncle interrupted me and said, "It's the coffin—it can't be found."

"Why can't you get it out?" I didn't believe my second uncle's nonsense at all.

The second uncle said casually: "I will tell you after dinner." Then he drank the wine in the glass.

Seeing the second uncle like this, I feel very uncomfortable, it tastes like chewing wax, where can I eat?After taking a small bite, I put down the bowl and chopsticks.

After the meal, the second uncle called me aside and said to me in a low voice: "It's not that I don't give you the amber coffin, but that I locked that coffin in a secret room." Wouldn't it be okay to get it out of the secret room?The second uncle shook his head and said: "No, it can't be done." "Why can't it be done?" I was a little angry.

The second uncle looked around, and whispered in my ear: "I locked the surname Ling in the secret room. He will not die in it, and I will not open the door of the secret room."

"Ah?" I was stunned, and looked at the second uncle in surprise. The second uncle laughed, with a smug look on his face.

It turned out that after Ling Zhi saw the door of the secret room opened, he could only think about the amber coffin, and he couldn't wait to walk in, but he didn't expect that this was a trap that his second uncle had already designed.With the character of the second uncle, how could he easily submit to Lexus?But Lexus was too confident, and looked down on people with a dog's eyes, thinking that we were just villagers in the mountains and not his opponents, so he didn't have much defense against the second uncle.As soon as he entered the secret passage, the second uncle immediately closed the door of the secret room outside.

According to the second uncle's plan, neither he nor I can beat Ling Zhi, so we might as well lock the beast in a secret room and starve him to death.

Thinking of Ling Zhi screaming every day in the secret room, the ground is not working, no water to drink, no food to eat, accompanied by those antiques and amber coffins all day long, and finally died of despair, I felt both happy and invisible a mercy.

It was so pitiful to be starved to death.

"So, if you want an amber coffin, I can give it to you, but at least we have to wait until Ling Zhi is dead." The second uncle said firmly: "I will not open the door of the secret room until that kid is dead. .”

"Then...then when will he die? Can a person survive for at least seven or eight days without food or hunger?" I don't know if Ling Ziyao can persist for seven or eight days.

The second uncle said: "Yes, it will take seven or eight days, but I don't think the Ling man is an ordinary cat or dog, so I won't open the door of the secret room within ten days and a half."

"Then doesn't he stink?" I blurted out for a while.

The second uncle snorted coldly: "If it stinks, it stinks. What's the big deal? If you dare to kill me at Erqiao, I will make him die a miserable death. Moreover, after he stinks, I will drag his body to the back mountain Feed the dog!"

I sighed softly, and was going to persuade my second uncle not to do this, after all, it was a crime.Suddenly, he heard Uncle Zhou's voice from outside, and he shouted loudly, "Erqiao, are you home? The police came from the city and asked you where Mr. Ling went."
