Chapter 18 Thousands of Households and Half Ghosts

I said it clearly enough, but looking at the expressions of the three people standing in the room, it seemed that they didn't understand the meaning of my words, or that they didn't believe the explanation I gave.

"Kill 10,000 people?" Xiao Lian Mountain Pass never closed, staring at me dumbfounded.

"Yes, there must be 10,000 people, this is the formation launched by the Five Emperors Soul Thirst Array, without the corpses of these 10,000 people and the Soul Sacrifice Array, it is ineffective." I nodded and replied very seriously.

"Isn't it...... Exaggerated, huh? Gu Anqi pursed her lips and looked hard to accept and believe.

"This is the innate killing array, it is used to kill ghosts and monsters, it is originally a tragic array, don't say 10,000 dead souls, this is just a formation, that is, a key step to activate this array, after launching...... I shook my head weakly.

"What happens when it's activated?"

"I saw in the book that the last time the Five Emperors Soul Lust Array was launched was in the Ming Dynasty, during the Jiajing period, there were many peasant riots, there were party disputes within the imperial court, the world was in turmoil, the people were not living and mourning, Jiajing thirty-four years, the heavens punished the yang world, the five ghost emperors launched the soul thirst array to calm the anger of the sky, and the disaster of the heavens and the earth was shaken, which is now called the earthquake ......"

"I know this!" When Yue Qianling heard me say this, her face suddenly changed. "Could it be that this rare natural disaster is ...... Five Emperors Soul Thirst Array?! ”

"Yes." I nodded in the affirmative.

"What the hell is going on?" Gu Anqi looked at Yue Qianling's expression and asked in shock.

"There is only a few words in the history books, although it is a few strokes, but the tragic situation at that time can be seen between the lines." Yue Qianling replied in a deep voice. "The earth trembles and the mountains are sorrowful for thousands of miles, the strange peaks sink into the water, the Yellow River goes straight to the top of the peak, and the houses are scattered, often the red carp upstream of the house, thousands of households are half ghosts, the vast mansions and high palaces are all made into soil, and the father and the old man cry ...... during the day."

"Thousands of households are half ghosts!" Although Xiao Lianshan may not understand the meaning of Yue Qianling's words, no matter how stupid he is, he understands the meaning of thousands of households and half-ghosts, and he was stunned for a long time before he said in surprise. "More than 10,000 people died......."

"You're wrong, it's not that more than 10,000 people died." I looked up and said with a grim expression.

"It's not more than 10,000, so how many died?"

"The literary and historical record is 830,000!"

"Eight ......" Gu Anqi and Xiao Lianshan exclaimed in unison, I guess it is difficult for them to imagine this number exactly.

"This is the consequence of the launch of the Five Emperors Soul Desire Array, the scene we saw in the Dragon Horn that day may be the recurrence of that natural disaster at that time, and the corpses and souls of 830,000 people can calm the wrath of the heavens, do you now understand why the Five Emperors Soul Lust Array is a congenital killing array?" I whispered a little flustered. "Wei Yong must be stopped, he will do whatever it takes to achieve his goal, not to mention that more than 800,000 people died in vain, even if he makes Yangshi a hell, I believe he will not hesitate."

"That's not right, even if the surname Wei is high and powerful, but now it's not a troubled time, the law of the Heavenly Principle King is there, even if he can cover the sky with one hand, but it's human life, not just a few, it's 10,000 people, no matter how powerful he is, it is impossible to openly slaughter 10,000 people, right?" Xiao Lianshan said indignantly.

"This is also what I don't understand, Wei Yong has always been cautious and steady, even if he wants to launch the Five Emperors Soul Desire Array, it is impossible to slaughter ten thousand people, but the previous Xuan Ming broke through the ocean, and now he asked Qiu Nuo to set up the Five Emperors Soul Desire Array in various parts of China, which shows that he has already thought about how to launch it." I rubbed my forehead and replied thoughtfully. "Looking at the layout on the map, he has almost prepared, if I guessed correctly, Wei Yong is now waiting for the time of the transfer of three yuan and nine yuan, so he must be stopped when the next yuan and seven yuan are transported."

"Can you stop him?" Gu Anqi sat down opposite me and asked anxiously. "Didn't you say that you could only delay it and couldn't stop it?"

"The Xuan Ming Breaking Ocean was already alive when we found out, of course we couldn't stop it, but since the Five Emperors Soul Desire Array hasn't been launched yet, we still have a chance."

"So how do you stop it?"

"The five emperors sue for nine days, the world is cloudy, the soul is broken, and the blood is buried, these four sentences, the last two sentences are particularly important, and the last sentence is the method of activation, but I don't understand what the third sentence means." I thought about it and answered calmly. "The Soul Lust Array is broken, this third sentence should be the crucial key to the Five Emperors Soul Lust Array."

"I've heard my dad mention the eye of the formation, the so-called eye of the formation is the core of the formation, in other words, the energy of the formation, the eye of the formation is there, the formation can survive, once the eye of the formation is broken, the formation will disappear." Gu Anqi looked at me and said seriously.

"I also know this, and a big killing array like the Five Emperors Soul Thirst Array must be controlled by someone with extremely advanced Dao Law in order to exert the power of the formation, otherwise it will definitely die, except for Wei Yong, I can't think of a second person." I said with a heavy sigh. "But the question is where is the Five Emperors Soul Desire Array under Wei Yongbu?"

"The Array Eye is extremely important, Wei Yong will definitely not leak it easily, and he is setting up the Array Eye on the Huaxia Territory, he can set the Array Eye anywhere, I guess no one will know except for him who thinks." Yue Qianling sat down beside me and said boredly.

I looked up at the map on the wall, and suddenly stood up slowly, the layout of the Five Emperors Soul Lust Array on the map was according to the two parts of soul attraction and soul thirst, like two circles of different sizes, Xiao Lianshan walked over and didn't even think about pointing to the position of the center of the circle.

"Of course, the array eye is in the middle position, the array eye, a place where the formation is crucial, of course it should be in the most core place, you see, this Five Emperors Soul Desire Array is distributed in this place, and the array eye must also be here."

I approached the map to see the location of Xiao Lianshan's finger, Shencheng.

Although Xiao Lianshan's understanding of the Eye of the Eye was wrong, it was very strange that Wei Yong and Qiu Nuo appeared in Shencheng, since they were planning the Five Emperors Soul Desire Array, how could such an important matter distract Wei Yong, unless there was something in Shencheng that he thought was more important.

"Anqi, has Qiu Nuo built a building in Shencheng?" I looked at the map, and the location of Shencheng was not marked with red markings, and I subconsciously asked.

"Nope." Gu Anqi didn't even think of a very definite answer. "I have been paying attention to their every move when I met them in Shencheng, and I have sent people to investigate all the real estate projects built by Qiunuo this year, but not in Shencheng."

"No......," I said, taking a deep breath and taking a few steps back and forth, muttering to myself in confusion. Since they didn't build a building in Shencheng, it means that this place has nothing to do with the Five Emperors Soul Desire Array, but why did Wei Yong and Qiu Nuo stay here? ”

"They didn't build the building, but they built something else." Gu Anqi suddenly remembered something and said to me disapplausively.

"What did you fix?"

"A square was built, but it was done before the buildings were built."

"So it was repaired a year ago, that's not right, the Five Emperors Soul Desire Array is set up with these buildings, it seems that this square has nothing to do with the Five Emperors Soul Desire Array." Yue Qianling thought about it and said.

"How could they build a square in Shencheng for no reason, there must be other intentions." I looked up at Gu Anqi and said calmly. "What's the name of the square?"

"Zodiac Square."

The name Gu Anqi said was extremely ordinary, but I believe that there is no ordinary thing for Wei Yong, just like this simple square name, the more sparse and ordinary it is, the more intriguing it feels.

I asked Gu Anqi to take us to see this square, and when we arrived, I was even more convinced that this place was unusual, the square was indeed very ordinary and almost the same as most squares, there were no superfluous buildings, the spacious square was built according to the circle, and the twelve zodiac statues were evenly distributed around the square, and I deliberately looked at each statue carefully, and there was nothing suspicious.

Finally, there is the bronze carved pillar standing in the middle of the square, there is no inscription on it, the bronze pillar points to the sky, Gu Anqi said that this bronze pillar is called Dinghaishen Needle, because Shencheng is near the sea, this square is also by the sea, the purpose of putting this decoration is to borrow the meaning of Dinghaishen Needle, and pray for the blessing of Shencheng Wind and Rain and Changping.

However, the shape of the bronze pillar is a little weird, it stands to reason that the bronze carved pillar like this should be thick and sharp, one to be stable and the other to be beautiful, but this bronze column is the opposite, standing at the lower end of the square is pointed and thin, and the more up the wider it is.

Around the bronze columns is a circle of polished and extremely smooth brass decorative mirrors, and the whole square looks resplendent with gold.

"Nothing special, huh?" After watching for a long time, we stopped under the bronze pillar, Xiao Lianshan said disapprerovingly.

"Wei Yong must have built this for a purpose, and it is definitely not as simple as what we see now." I shook my head and said thoughtfully.

"Actually, I came to see it when they built it, but in terms of feng shui and geographical location, I didn't find anything out of the ordinary, so I didn't think of this square before." Gu Anqi said to me.

I walked around the bronze pillar, and I don't know why I had a feeling that I couldn't put it into words, but I couldn't think of anything that didn't work for me for a while.

The morning sun was warm and bright, casting down and shining on the bronze pillar, and the long shadow spread far away, I accidentally saw the shadow of the bronze pillar in the sun, and then looked at the direction indicated by the shadow, my eyes lit up and quickly looked around.

"Anqi, where is the tallest building in this square that can be seen around here?" I asked anxiously.

Gu Anqi pointed to a tall building not far away and told me that she had been watching the feng shui of this square before, and I ran to the tall building immediately before she finished speaking.

"Follow me upstairs, I know why Wei Yong built this." I said loudly to them behind me as I ran.
