Chapter 3 Destroying the Core of the Formation
"It's just bluffing. If it's really powerful, it won't ask you to open the door. It will kill you directly."
As Wen Ling spoke, he walked around the room searching.
Gao Zhi outside the door was still banging against it.
The wooden door was slammed against the wall, and it seemed like it would break into pieces in the next second.
Tingyin was about to cry: "What if it stays outside and doesn't leave? Won't we be trapped in here?"
"It's clearly daytime now, how could there be a ghost knocking on the door in broad daylight?!"
"Where are the guards in the palace? The last two days, we were surrounded by guards guarding us!"
Wen Ling's voice sounded slowly: "Look at the sky outside the window. Is it day or night?"
Tingyin looked out the window.
The sun was shining brightly outside just a moment ago, but now it was covered with dark clouds and everything was grey, as if shrouded in a thick fog.
The sky was so dark that it didn't even feel like day, but more like night.
Tingyin was so frightened by Gao Zhi's hanging that she didn't pay any attention to the situation outside: "How...how could this happen? What on earth happened?!"
"The entire palace has been set up with a formation. We are the center of the formation. If you were tricked into opening the door just now, this soul-sucking formation would have been formed."
Wen Ling, who had just walked around the room, already knew what was going on.
She raised her head, as if looking outside through the tightly closed door. A bright orange light flashed in her beautiful, clear almond-shaped eyes. "Once the soul-sucking formation is completed, the souls of all the people in the palace will leave their bodies and die. The luck of Prince Chen's palace will also be completely sucked away."
"This place will become a place of death where anyone passing by will suffer misfortune."
As Wen Ling finished speaking, Ting Yin shuddered all over.
"Someone wants to deal with Prince Chen's Mansion, and we are the unlucky cannon fodder. Madam, how could we be so unlucky!"
Tingyin was about to cry again: "It's okay, Madam, there are so many of us going together, and we will have someone to accompany us on the road to the underworld..."
"No," Wen Ling asked curiously, "Why do you always talk about walking to the Yellow Springs Road? Do you really want to walk to the Yellow Springs Road?"
She choked at the sound and opened her mouth, not knowing how to respond.
Wen Ling didn't say any more nonsense.
She chanted some incantations and took square steps, finally stopping beside the antique display cabinet in the room.
Lifting the lid of the antique display cabinet where calligraphy and paintings were hung revealed a secret compartment at the back.
I tried to open the secret compartment with my bare hands, but it didn't move at all.
When Wen Ling wrapped his hands with the orange-yellow flame and tried to open them, a layer of black mist appeared outside the secret compartment.
The black mist was burned by the bright flames and quickly disappeared.
This time, when I tried to open it, I just pulled it lightly and it opened.
A foul stench mixed with the smell of blood wafted into my nose, and there was actually a black and red heart in the secret compartment.
The heart was only the size of a fist, and it was still beating inside.
"I found you, the eye of the formation." Wen Ling narrowed his eyes slightly, and his eyes dimmed.
Tingyin couldn't help but want to vomit: "Madam, what is this? It's so disgusting to look at and smell. Is it the heart of an animal?"
Wen Ling: “No.”
Before Tingyin could ask again, Wen Ling said directly: "This is a child's heart. And it's not just one child's heart, it's nine children's hearts put together."
"A heart made up of nine children's hearts?! Yue——!!"
Tingyin couldn't hold it in any longer, so he covered his chest, turned his head and vomited to the side, almost vomiting bile.
Wen Ling glanced at her, thought about it, and was kind enough not to say the rest.
Although this heart is made up of the hearts of nine children, in fact, far more than nine children are needed.
Perhaps only one in ten children has a heart that is suitable for this condition.
In other words, this heart may require the killing of thousands of children to be successfully made.
If Tingyin knew this, she would probably collapse.
Tingyin was already feeling unwell. She took several steps back and kept a long distance from Angra. Then she asked tremblingly, "Why are there these things in the bridal chamber? Who put them in? Madam, what should we do now?!"
Wen Ling narrowed her eyes slightly and had already made a decision in her heart.
She waved her hand at Tingyin and said, "Just step back a few steps and watch from the side without moving. It will be solved in half a quarter of an hour."
Tingyin immediately obeyed and retreated two or three meters.
This heart is the real core of this formation.
As long as the center of the formation is destroyed, the entire formation will fall apart.
Destroying this heart forcefully can also achieve the effect of destroying the center of the formation.
But if this happens, the thousands of children who died in vain because of this heart will never have the possibility of reincarnation.
These poor kids will be horrified.
So Wen Ling did not choose to destroy it directly.
She bit her fingertip and used the blood from her fingertip to draw a complicated symbol in the air.
The last stroke was completed, and the talisman shone with golden light.
Wen Ling quickly made hand gestures and added several layers of seals on top.
A circular formation with ancient power was finally completed and floated in the air.
Wen Lingsu waved her hand and pushed the formation onto the black heart.
There was a "sizzling" sound, and at the moment the golden formation fell, the black heart made a sound like falling into a frying pan.
The black substance outside the heart began to bubble and decompose like a soda drink within the golden wrapper.
In just a moment, the original bright red color of the heart inside was revealed.
There were vague signs that the black substance was about to counterattack.
“Wuwuwuwu——”
Suddenly, the sharp screams of thousands of babies in pain came from the heart.
The baby's screams of pain were so contagious that even from such a long distance it felt like a tangible attack.
She squatted down and covered her ears in pain.
She immediately thought of her wife. Since she was standing so close, wouldn't she have been hit even harder?
Tingyin looked towards Wen Ling worriedly, only to see Wen Ling standing in front of the golden formation, his hair and clothes fluttering in the wind, the hem of his clothes rustling in the air.
Wen Ling did not retreat even a single step.
In another corner of the capital, in front of a black formation in a hidden backyard, there was a thin man in a Taoist robe.
When the layer of black substance outside the heart completely dissipated, a large amount of blood spurted out with a "puff" sound.
His eyes, which had been tightly closed, suddenly opened, full of disbelief.
His voice was as hoarse as a broken drum: "The soul-sucking formation has been broken. Impossible, how is this possible? How can someone in this world break my formation?"
As soon as he finished speaking, his skin, which had been smooth and plump just now, quickly shrank like a deflated ball and turned into wrinkled old bark.
The whole person collapsed and fell to the ground, unconscious.
On Wen Ling's side, when the black substance on the heart completely faded away, the sounds of thousands of babies crying stopped abruptly.
Many children's souls emerged from the heart and appeared in the room.
The golden magic circle dissipated, and the golden light scattered on the children's souls.
Each of the children was naked and looked just like the golden boy and jade girl in New Year pictures.
The youngest of them looked less than a year old, and the oldest was only five years old, still babbling. They were either crawling or sitting in the air, with confusion in their eyes, as if they had no idea what was going on.
