All the ancestors in the capital begged me to be a substitute

Only now did Shen Lingxi understand why King An believed in Cui Jin and Zhao Dong so deeply.

Cui Jin and Zhao Dong played the role of "father" for the emperor with their excellent acting skills in front of King An.

Let the teenagers admire and depend on them as they do to their fathers.

Until the end, give your life.

When he died, he was just a 15-year-old boy.

Even people who have never figured out the human heart thoroughly, even if they have studied and entered school, how can they really distinguish between good and evil, good and evil.

King An took a deep breath, calmed down the stuffy emotions in his heart, and continued: "Brother Seventh Emperor and Eighth Emperor were talented and intelligent, and won the favor of the father when they were alive, but I couldn't learn anything. They lived After I passed away, my father placed high hopes on me and became more and more strict. I also wanted to study hard and study hard, but every time I did my homework, I always made mistakes frequently, and my father looked more and more disappointed."

"You have your strengths, so don't belittle yourself."

At this moment, Shen Lingxi felt that any words were feeble.

The boy smiled at her.

He always wears the bright yellow embroidered golden python robe and the golden crown on his head, which is beyond words.

But the real life is not as good as ordinary people.

"When I was most desperate, they summoned the soul of my concubine mother. You don't know how happy I was when I saw concubine mother. I wanted concubine mother to take me away. But I didn't know that concubine mother Even after the concubine dies, she is still suffering in the Underworld."

"My concubine told me that because the Liang family broke their promises and committed the crime of collaborating with the enemy, even after death, the Liang family members were still not allowed to live again. The souls of her and her grandfather and grandmother were tortured day and night, and she suffered unspeakably. Crying and begging me to save her, to clear up the Liang family's debts, so that she can be saved and die."

"I was terrified when I heard it, and my heart ached even more. I couldn't let my concubine and my grandfather's family rest in peace after death, so I asked Zhang Xianchang how to resolve the Liang family's debts and let them rest in peace in the underworld..."

Hearing this, Shen Lingxi frowned deeply, as if she understood the conspiracy of Wei Guogong and that old man.

"So, you chose to commit suicide because of these words?"

Wang An's eyelashes trembled slightly, and the corners of his lips curled up in a self-mockery.

"Yeah, now that I think about it, I've really followed their way. Apart from being able to 'recall souls', Immortal Zhang is most proud of having learned the Yun Country's Requiem Formation."

He pointed to the incantation talismans that filled the attic, "Behind these incantation talismans, there is a large formation hidden, which is the formation they laid out according to the "Requiem Formation Diagram" that flowed out from the Yunguo Palace."

"It is said that this Requiem Formation can "cross the souls of the dead and break all curses." Zhang Xianzhang told me that in order to make this formation method take shape, one must follow the example of Emperor Li of the Yun Kingdom, using the souls of noble people as life sacrifices for the formation eyes. As for my identity, it is most suitable for me to be the eye of the formation."

Shen Lingxi: "..."

Seeing Shen Lingxi's thoughtful expression, Wang An thought she didn't understand the meaning, so he kindly explained.

"It's like this. Six years ago, before the state of Yun was destroyed, Emperor Li of Yun State took the life of the little princess as a human sacrifice, and cursed the royal family of Chu. There will be no successors in the country. The seventh and eighth brothers all died because of the curse. .”

"Zhang Xianchang told me that as long as someone is willing to offer sacrifices and fill in the eyes, not only can I save my mother and concubine's family, and let their dead souls enter reincarnation early, but also break the curse of Emperor Ruthless, so that my Chu family will no longer have to worry about the curse." .”

"At that time, I missed my mother and concubine, and I was afraid that I would not be able to bear the expectations of my father. Since I am a useless person, why not make the last contribution to my mother and concubine, my father, and even the Chu family. People like me , can have such an effect, even if it ends in this life, for me... perhaps, it is the only useful thing."

As he said that, Wang An's soul lowered his brows and eyes, with a trace of self-pity on his face.

He is so useless.

He can't save his mother and concubine, nor can he help his father.

The reason why she was unwilling to tell Shen Lingxi the truth at the beginning was not a kind of self-deception.

When it comes time for him, instead of telling him it's all a hoax.

He hoped that he would never have to wake up.

I lied to myself.

At least in this way, he can still think that he is useful.

Shen Lingxi looked at Wang An's mournful and self-pitying expression, and a sour emotion flashed through his heart.

People in this world... always like this.

Kindness and simplicity do not last long, and evil and evil will last for thousands of years.

If God had eyes, he would never let such a kind and filial child like An Wang die in vain.

Shen Lingxi walked slowly to one side of the wall, stretched out her hand gently, and uncovered one of the charms.

After listening to Wang An's words, she already had a guess in her heart.

At this time, the charm was uncovered, and the underside of the charm was covered with lines newly drawn with cinnabar.

It further confirmed my guess.

It turned out that when she came to the attic earlier, she saw those remaining traces of cinnabar, they were actually these things!
Shen Lingxi uncovered a few charms again, and looked at the lines carefully.

Those vine-like lines are indeed the prayer lines of Yun Kingdom's "Requiem Formation".

It's just that Shen Lingxi knows the "Requiem Formation" best.

It was just a sacrificial dance performed in honor of the souls of the dead during the Hungry Ghost Festival according to the customs of Yunguo.

How come here, it became a large formation of "crossing the souls of the dead and breaking the curse"? !
It's ridiculous.

Shen Lingxi finally recovered her voice, and she asked tentatively: "As far as I know, the Requiem Formation was owned by the royal family of the previous dynasty, and it is impossible for ordinary quack warlocks to know this kind of formation. That old man, how could he draw the Requiem Formation?" Array, let you enter the array?"

"It's Zhao Dong. Zhao Dong said that this formation was obtained from the former prince of Yunguo when he followed the late emperor to conquer Yunguo, and gave it to Zhang Xianzhang to study." The young man seemed to have thought of something, and lowered his head. His face suddenly lifted, and his eyes suddenly stopped, "I know, now that I think about it, even this, I'm afraid it's all lying to me."

The first prince of Yunguo?
There was a gleam in Shen Lingxi's eyes. This incident was actually related to her ineffective brother.

Heh, he must have taken out this thing to save his life because he was afraid of being implicated by his scumbag father.

This prayer pattern is true, so what Zhao Dong told King An about the origin of the Requiem Formation should not be a lie.

Zhao Dong firmly believed that this formation could really break the curse.

That's why, two years ago, in the name of Concubine Lian's dead soul, he coaxed King An to die in order to break the curse and pave the way for Concubine Zhao's future child.

Everything made sense.

Shen Lingxi: "You want to cross the souls of the Liang family, and you also want to break the curse of Emperor Lie, so you chose to be the center of this living sacrifice, so you have to stay in this attic after death..."

"Yes." The young man pursed his lips tightly, "Zhang Xianchang said that this matter cannot be explained to outsiders, and he must not leave the formation, otherwise... the Requiem Formation will not work. In the past two years since my death, I dare not leave the formation. , in order to ensure that Emperor Li's curse on the Chu family will not be fulfilled again. To protect our Chu family forever."
