Chapter 256: Moon Dome Heavenly Hell (I)
Aoki's voice fell, and the door was opened, Cai'er floated in first, and shouted "Dad" crisply, and then, an old man with a green bamboo cane, short stature, skinny, and seemingly dying, walked in slowly under Yingxue's careful support.
This is an old man who is about ninety years old on the surface, even if the spirit secret realm aura is extremely abundant, it can no longer hide the traces left on her face by the years, her old face is like the bark of a thousand-year-old tree, but when she walks, her steps are extraordinarily steady, and the slightly opened eyes release a sharp light that is almost impossible to look at...... Ling Chen's eyes jumped a few times involuntarily when he looked at the old man.
Such sharp eyes, like the eyes of a vulture...... Such an old man has such a terrifying look. She must be the mother of Patriarch Aoki. The Aoki patriarch looked to be middle-aged, but this old man was already in the age of the last candle, and it seemed that the weak reproductive ability of the elves made the age of childbearing extremely late.
"Mother!" Patriarch Aoki quickly greeted him and hugged the old man. Behind the old man, ten rather old elves also walked in neatly, seven men and three women, the youngest was about the same as Aoki, the older one was past the age of antiquity, and the aura on each person's body was extremely thick, which made Ling Chen's heart tremble. These ten people should be the top ten elders that Ying Xue said, and if they can be the elders of the elf clan, the strength of these people must be quite terrifying.
What exactly is the ritual that Aoki Patriarch is talking about?
"Elders, please take a seat." Helping the old man to the middle and sitting down, Aoki glanced at the ten elders before sitting on the chair beside the old man.
The Ten Elders sat in two neat rows on both sides, and only Ling Chen and Ying Xue were still standing in the room...... There was also a little Cai'er floating there blinking and waiting to see the excitement. The room fell silent all of a sudden, and all eyes were focused on Ling Chen's body, making Ling Chen's whole body uncomfortable for a while. Especially the old man's gaze, which was so sharp that he had a terrifying feeling that his body was pierced by his gaze.
"Mother, this is a human from the outside world, and by chance, I got the first wings of Yingxue." Aoki gestured to Ling Chen with his gaze and said to the old man.
The old man had been looking at Ling Chen, listening to Aoki's words, she nodded slightly, and a smile seemed to appear on her face: "Very good." Humans are just like the legend, except for the lack of wings, they are not much different from us. And his eyes are like cold stars, his aura is extraordinary, and there is no lustful aura on his body, but he will not be wronged Yingxue, so I am also relieved. Young man from the human world, what's your name? ”
Ling Chen said politely: "Ling Tian, I don't know what the seniors call me. ”
"Hehe," the old man smiled gently, "You can call me Granny Deadwood, but it won't be long before you can call me grandmother or grandma directly like Yingxue." ”
Aoki and the Ten Elders suddenly laughed ambiguously, and the elder sitting on the far right said with a smile: "Yingxue, this child is the pearl of the elf race given by God, we have long said that her marriage will also be decided by God, and now this alien man who fell from the sky coincidentally got Yingxue's wings, isn't this the marriage of God, wonderful, hahahaha." ”
The other elders also laughed, and Aoki also laughed a few times. The person concerned, Ling Chen, was numb in his scalp, and he wanted to speak several times. Ying Xue didn't react, standing quietly beside Ling Chen like an ice sculpture beauty.
"And that's not all. This little brother is the first alien to come to our world in so many years, maybe it is a variable given to us by God, a variable that may change the status quo of our race, don't you think? The other elder said with a smile.
The other elders also nodded their heads in agreement. If this kind of words came from the mouths of humans, fools would hear that they were just sycophants, but Ling Chen's expressions were so sincere, and with the temperament of elves, how could there be those vulgarities of humans.
The mental world of these elves really cannot be controlled by human beings.
"Okay, no more gossip, child, Aoki should have told you about my clan, you came here, you are destined to not be able to leave, this may indeed be God's arrangement, in the future, you can stay here with peace of mind, and treat this place as your new home. In addition, Yingxue's age is not young, and I, the old woman, have been waiting for her to get married for a long time, so I hope you can get married within ten days, what do you think? Deadwood Granny looked at Ling Chen and said gently.
Ling Chen's footsteps couldn't help but want to retreat, obviously, the status of this deadwood mother-in-law was higher than the patriarch, and in this small room, the patriarch and the ten elders were all there. It can be said that for him, those people who have the highest voice in the elf clan have gathered in this small cabin, which makes him have a lot of pressure. After all, the rest of the people here are elves, and he is the only foreigner.
However, there are some things that he must say.
Under the pressure of these twelve elves, Ling Chen took a deep breath and said calmly: "Deadwood Mother-in-law, Aoki Patriarch, and the ten elders here, I can't accept the marriage between me and Yingxue that you mentioned. ”
As soon as Ling Chen's words came out, the hut fell silent for a moment, and the originally peaceful atmosphere suddenly became condensed.
The smile on the faces of Aoki and the Ten Elders condensed there, and Yingxue's expression did not change, but her lips moved slightly. Cai'er, who was originally excited, suddenly became extremely nervous, covering her lips with one hand, and gesturing at Ling Chen with her other small hand desperately.
The change in the atmosphere was completely expected by Ling Chen, he did not pause, and continued: "In our human world, marriage is never directly decided simply because of one thing, but takes a long time to accumulate feelings, and when the feelings are deep enough, they can be naturally combined. I'm just meeting Yingxue for the first time today, and I don't have any feelings at all, because a pair of wings and Yingxue and I have to get married, I know that this is the rule that belongs to the elf race, but I'm human after all, and I can't accept it. Moreover, as a human being, my longest lifespan is not more than a hundred years, if I marry Yingxue, then after only a few decades, I will be old, and then turn into loess, and Yingxue is still in the most beautiful years, in this way, wouldn't it be a disaster for Yingxue's life. Patriarch Aoki, Granny Deadwood, you don't want your juniors to have to be left alone in your youth. ”
After Ling Chen finished speaking, he looked directly into the eyes of Deadwood Granny without hesitation, obviously, in this small cabin, Deadwood Granny has the highest right to speak.
Aoki Patriarch sighed and said, "Mother, don't be angry, after all, he is from a foreign race and does not understand the rules and beliefs of our elven race, so it is completely understandable that he would say such a thing." ”
Mother-in-law Deadwood nodded slightly, and her voice was still gentle: "Child, although I have never been to the outside world, I can be sure that in the outside world, it is impossible to find such a beautiful girl as Yingxue." The ancestors said that adultery is one of the nature of human beings, and countless human beings are willing to do everything for a red face, even including their own beliefs, and you can say these words, at least it proves that you are not a promiscuous person, and you fight with reason, which shows that you are not cowardly, but dare to bear it. Hehe, Yingxue is with someone like you, which makes me, an old woman, feel more at ease. However, child, you are wrong about a few points, in my elf race, the union of men and women, the same is the first emotion, only women have affection for men, will give the first wings, men have affection for women, will accept the wings, and then happily union. And Yingxue's first wing was not given by her, but was unintentionally obtained by you, which is called a match made in heaven in my clan, and it is also the most admired and envied combination. Because we all believe that this is the most beautiful marriage that nature has ever given us. ”
Aoki followed: "We elves are spirits born by nature, and we have always believed that our destiny has always been arranged by nature, including marriage. The marriage between you and Yingxue is also arranged and gifted by nature, we will do our best to promote it, if you do not succeed in the union, it is disrespect and resistance to nature, in that case, our clan will definitely be punished by nature. Although you are a human being, you are now in my elven race, so naturally you must also respect the rules and beliefs of my race. ”
Ling Chen: "! @#¥%......"(What kind of logic is this!) )
"As for your second worry, it's even more superfluous." As she spoke, Granny Deadwood stretched out her withered old hand, and placed a wooden bottle the size of a thumb in the center of her palm: "Come, child, drink this bottle of elven water, and then, your body, soul, and strength will be purified, and from now on you will have the blood of the elves, the lifespan of the elves, and the power of the elves." Become an elf like us, so you don't need to worry about not being able to stay with Yingxue for a long time. ”
The body, soul, and strength will be purified, and from then on they will have the blood of the elves...... Become a real elf!
Ling Chen's heart beat suddenly, and he quickly shook his head: "I am a human being, how can I become an elf!" And I can't stay here forever, my friends are in the human world, and I'm going to have to find a way to go back someday! ”
"Indeed, now that you are a human being, your heart is destined not to settle here, so you need to drink this elven water even more. In addition, you have entered our race from the outside world twice in a row, and you obviously know the method of passage of nature's labyrinth, if you go out, and then inform others of the method of passing, then my elven race will have no peace, and may even encounter a catastrophe. Therefore, elven water, you must drink it no matter what. Elven water will not only make you a real elf, but it will also purify your memories and then lose all the memories that have nothing to do with the elves, so that you can live in the elven world without any worries and carefree. In the world, this can only be of infinite benefit to you. So, come and drink it. Granny Deadwood's voice was old and slow, but the words were like a bell, vibrating Ling Chen's eardrums and heartstrings.
Ling Chen: "!!! (Purification...... Memory? )
In my mind, I suddenly flashed the scene when my spirit was attacked by the Moon of Damnation in the Novice Village. That feeling was incomparably real, and it should never have been in a normal virtual game world, and he even believed that if it weren't for his own strong mental perversion, his spirit would have collapsed and become a puppet of the Moon of Damnation. It was also from that time that he began to perceive the unusualness of the Shenyue World. It seems that it can really affect a person's spirit.
So, if you drink this elf water, will it be possible to really lose all other memories?
With the lessons of the Moon of Damnation, Ling Chen would never try it. And at this moment, the voice of the bleak moon suddenly sounded in his head: "Little master! Never drink elven water. In my memory, the water of the elves was used to purify sinful but not sinful beings to death, purifying their bodies, strength, and memories. If the highest elven water is used on humans, it can also be directly purified into elves. Don't drink it, or you'll literally lose all your memories, even your race! ”
Ling Chen's footsteps quickly took a step back and said resolutely: "No! I'm human, I don't need to be an elf, I won't drink elven water! As for the method of going through the maze of nature, I will definitely not tell anyone about it! ”
The resoluteness of his words reached everyone's ears clearly, and the elves fell silent, and after a short silence, Granny Deadwood sighed: "We elves never want to force others, but we are even more unwilling and will never disobey the arrangements of nature. If you don't want to, then we have to help you drink this elven water. ”
"Little master, let's go!!" The Bitter Moon suddenly let out an exclamation. (To be continued)
