1424 Hundreds of Coffins (1/2)
Under the clear water of the lake, they could see hundreds of coffins neatly arranged. All the coffins were arranged in the Eight Trigrams and Nine Palaces formation. Looking down, it was the Eight Trigrams arrangement composed of coffins.
At the center of the formation, there was a white flame burning, brighter and brighter. An overwhelming force flowed out of this vigorous white flame.
”Wow, these coffins are all made of Jiuxuan willow wood, and they must be at least 10,000 years old,” someone said as he stared at the hundreds of coffins, sighing in astonishment.
”A 10,000-year-old willow tree. It's not easy to produce even a thumb-sized piece of Jiuxuan willow wood, and here there are so many coffins actually made of Jiuxuan willow wood. Isn't it excessive?”
”There are so many coffins. Who do you think are buried in all these coffins?” asked Dean Qin of the Litian Academy, frowning.
”I'm afraid it's not for burying people, but a pure formation method,” a leader of great influence said in a low voice.
”This isn't possible. If it was just for a formation, then there would be no need to make a coffin. There are people inside these coffins. The coffins in the formation have people inside them,” Lord Zeng said with a solemn expression.
To them, such a large scene seemed completely exaggerated. Using coffins built with Jiuxuan willow wood over thousands of years, they couldn't do it.
The growth of willows was usually accompanied by a powerful Heavenly Tribulation, and it was very difficult to grow for more than 10,000 years. Jiuxuan willow wood was produced from the heart of the willow tree and was something that only 10,000-year-old willow trees possessed. It was just like how the human race cultivated the golden elixir of a newborn.
Now there were hundreds of Jiuxuan willow wood coffins in the lake. It was hard to imagine how many 10,000-year-old willow trees had been cut down by the person who'd arranged the formation.
”That's strange, why haven't we seen Miss Lin?” At this time, someone asked doubtfully.
Xu Que frowned. Glancing under the lake, there was no trace of Lin Yuxi, not even a trace of her breath. This was really weird. In theory, if Lin Yuxi had really disappeared in this place, then she could only be at the bottom of the lake, but till now, she hadn't appeared.
”Hey, wait a minute, couldn't she be in one of the Jiuxuan willow wood coffins?” Duan Jiude exclaimed in surprise.
The crowd's expressions suddenly changed. Duan Jiude's words had awakened everyone. Since Lin Yuxi had come here, then the only hiding place could be in those Jiuxuan willow wood coffins.
”No, that's not right, Ms. Lin came for her inheritance of skill. How could she get into those coffins? Wouldn't they have been part of the formation?” Someone shook their heads and raised doubts.
Everyone's gazes instantly fell on Buttface.
Buttface stood up and walked toward the lake with heavy steps. He stared at the coffins below and said in a deep voice, ”Perhaps the inheritance of Miss Lin was a conspiracy, and she was tricked. She mistakenly entered this place, got sucked into a coffin, and became part of the formation.”
”Sh*t, isn't that just like what happened with the furnace in the Celestial Burial Valley?” Duan Jiude asked, frowning.
”That's right, I deduced this result,” Buttface nodded.
Xu Que rolled his eyes and thought that Buttface was thinking too much, but as soon as the words reached his throat he swallowed them down. Buttface's inference was baseless, and it was only because of the experience they'd had in the Celestial Burial Valley that'd led him to think in this direction.
