Chapter 43: Water Elves
Knowing that there was a bronze coffin under her feet, Cang Shilan quickly came up with a plan to escape. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
He said to Cang Yulang: "Yulang, you hold your brother Xiaofeng and illuminate your father." Dad looked for the cracks in the coffin, pried the lid open, and then we hid in it, so that we could hide from the corrosion of the venom. โ
Cang Shilan looked around the edge of the coffin, and sure enough, he found a gap, it seemed that this was the place where the coffin opened.
Cang Shilan asked Cang Xiaofeng to take Cang Yulang to fly up a little, and then pulled out the Friend of the Long Sword Element, inserted it into the gap of the coffin, and pried it hard.
Only a tooth-squeaking sound was heard, and the lid of the coffin opened, revealing a wooden coffin inside.
The outer coffin and the inner coffin, it seems that there is a great man buried in it. No wonder the relief on the outside of the coffin is a god descending to welcome the dead.
Cang Shilan didn't want to disturb the deceased, so she just hid in the gap between the coffin and the coffin, but when she opened the bronze coffin, she found that the coffin was only a small circle of the copper coffin, and there was not much space between the two.
Cang Xiaofeng lacked strength, and when he saw the coffin open, he landed with Cang Yulang.
Cang Xiaofeng stopped on the coffin lid and pecked at the coffin lid with his beak curiously.
Cang Shilan stopped its frivolous actions, put his hands together and prayed to the deceased in the coffin, and led Cang Xiaofeng and Cang Yulang to kowtow respectfully to the coffin three times, before picking up the long sword "Friends of the Elements" and starting to pry the coffin.
Fortunately, the coffin in the Elven Continent was not nailed with coffin nails, but closed with locks and hinges.
Cang Shilan used his long sword to cut off the lock, and with a little force, he opened the coffin lid.
The coffin was empty, and there were no funeral goods except for the corpse of a female mermaid.
It seems that this mermaid was executed for a crime, otherwise it would not be possible to put no funeral goods in such a high-level coffin.
"Why should you be a thief?" Cang Shilan said in a low voice.
Cang Xiaofeng and Cang Yulang also jumped in.
The coffin was very large, and it was more than enough for the three members of the Lan family and the mermaid corpse to lie down.
Cang Shilan thought about it for a long time, but decided to be selfish, and the dove occupied the magpie's nest and monopolized the coffin. Bi Yi lives in the same room with the dead body, he can't do it without great courage, besides, he still has two minors.
Cang Shilan felt that there was enough reason, so he prayed a few words to the mermaid's corpse, and stepped forward to move the corpse, preparing to push it into the green pool.
When he was about to touch the skin of the corpse, the corpse suddenly moved.
It sat up, sighed leisurely, and said, "Don't go too far, okay?"
"Damn, it's a corpse!"
Cang Shilan screamed, and fled back to the back with a rolling belt, holding his two sons and trembling.
Cang Xiaofeng and Cang Yulang are no better.
Cang Yulang was so frightened that his upper and lower teeth kept fighting, and although Cang Xiaofeng had no teeth, the upper and lower parts of the bird's beak were also constantly knocking.
Cang Shilan's family of three and the mermaid corpse looked at each other for a long time, Cang Shilan felt that he was the head of the family and had to take responsibility, so he boldly said: "That...... That mermaid corpse lady, we are a family of three, in order to take refuge, this is the place to open your residence, please forgive me for the disturbance. The poisonous water outside rose sharply, and it seemed that the copper coffin was about to be gone, so we had to move your body out of the copper coffin. Biyi people have a human realm, ghosts have a ghost realm, and the dead can't always grab territory with the living. โ
As he spoke, Cang Shilan gestured at the mermaid's corpse again and again.
Cang Yulang and Cang Xiaofeng also followed their father's example to make a gesture to the mermaid's corpse, and the interesting thing is that Cang Xiaofeng, its body is almost spherical, not to mention how funny it is.
After a moment of silence, the mermaid corpse finally spoke, and the voice was actually very beautiful, like the wind blowing a silver bell.
It said, "You knew the knock on the door before the coffin was opened, and I thought you were civilized, but I didn't expect you to be as rude and rude as the Pigs, and good at messing around." The purpose of burying the ancestors is to be cautious and to pursue the future, and respecting the deceased is the basic requirement of being a human being. And you say with great vigour, that the dead do not fight with the living. I'm lying here, why did I fight, how did I rob?"
Cang Shilan was speechless.
Cang Yulang gently poked him with his finger and whispered, "Dad, she is not a living person. โ
"Of course I know, it's dead. โ
"Gee, Dad, I mean she's not human. โ
"Of course, you can tell at a glance that it's a mermaid. โ
"Dad, she's an elemental elfโa water elemental elf!"
Hearing Cang Yulang's reminder, Cang Shilan realized that the face of the mermaid in front of him was filled with a faint layer of mist, which was not real.
Cang Shilan finally found an excuse to refute, sneered, and said: "It is certainly my fault to disturb the sleep of the deceased, but it is not a glorious thing to hide in the coffin and pretend to be a ghost." You are not a mermaid, but an aquatic elemental elf. When an elemental spirit dies, it immediately dissipates into invisibility, leaving no corpse behind. โ
The water elemental elf smiled sadly and said, "Yes, I am the water elemental elf Lilith. But do you think I'm willing to hide in a coffin for thousands of years just to scare the grave robbers who are incredibly unlikely?"
Cang Shilan's family of three shook their heads.
Lilith continued, "It all started with the Battle of the Forest three thousand years ago.
"A shameless traitor has appeared in the Elven Empire, Cong Duyuan, who has connived at the passage of the Pig's army through his defenses. Taking advantage of the opportunity of the lack of heavy troops to guard the elite forest, the Pigs army jointly cast a spell by the two hundred and forty great shamans of the Pigg tribe to summon an elemental isolation shield, so that the Elven Empire could not borrow the power of the Holy Land from now on.
"Master Schlapner, the star mage who created me, fell in the battle to defend the Forest, and I also fell into a coma due to the Pyg Clan's forbidden magic device. The elves mistakenly thought that I was also dead, so they buried me with Master Schlapner.
"Maybe there is a certain number in the dark, the bronze coffin has isolated the forbidden demon device of the Pigs, and my magic power has slowly recovered, but it has never awakened. It wasn't until you opened the bronze coffin outside that I came to my senses.
"But fortunately, I woke up in time, otherwise I don't know how to die. โ
Cang Shi's blue face and red ears were red, and he hurriedly changed the topic and asked, "Mr. Schlapner is high-spirited and bright, which is admirable. May I ask where his body is, so that I can pay my respects. โ
"It's gone. Lilith sighed and said, "Three thousand years of history is enough to annihilate everything, and now there are only legends, and in a few years, there may be no legends left." โ
Cang Shilan was silent, and couldn't bear to tell this elemental elf that in this era, I'm afraid that even the legend of Schlapner doesn't exist.
However, Cang Shilan always felt that there seemed to be something wrong with Lilith's words, but she couldn't find it. Lilith's words made sense, and there was no loophole to be found.
Cang Shilan attributed all this to suspicion and dark ghosts.
Lilith pretended to be a demon before, and her credit was bankrupt, and anyone who said the truth would be suspected.
Cang Xiaofeng kept paying attention to the venom outside, and interjected at this time: "The green water is almost up to the ceiling, are you still in the mood to chat? Fortunately, the coffin is ready-made, and we are not worried about having no place to bury it. โ
When the three of them heard this, they hurriedly lay down, Cang Xiaofeng didn't have to lie down, just lay down, and didn't even have to lie down.
Cang Shilan suddenly remembered something and asked, "Lilith, is this wooden coffin corrosion-proof?"
"Should...... I guess I don't want to guard against it. The absence of Mr. Schnapner's bones indicates that the coffin was not very well embalmed. However, we elves advocate entering the earth for safety, as long as they enter the earth, whether the bones are preserved or not, we don't care. Why do you ask this?"
"What I want to ask is not whether the coffin can prevent decay on the inside, but whether it can withstand the corrosive liquid on the outside. You think, we have to close the coffin first, and then close the coffin, but when the coffin is closed, who will close the bronze coffin?"
Lilith also frowned, no matter what coffin is closed from the outside, there is never a design to close from the inside.
After all, you can do everything by yourself, but someone must help you when you enter the coffin.
Cang Yulang was just about to sit up, but Cang Shilan pressed him down again.
"Whatever the danger, let Dad take it. You are underage, don't do dangerous things anymore. โ
Lilith said coldly: "With your underage son to rob the tomb, your heart is really big. โ
It seems that Lilith is still unfamiliar with Cang Shilan's opening of her coffin.
Cang Shilan smiled dryly: "How can I let you out without robbing the tomb?" When I opened the coffin just now, it took me a lot of effort to open it. From this point of view, even if you have a copper head and an iron body, you will not be able to come out of it by yourself with infinite strength. โ
Cang Xiaofeng said: "Dad, don't show father-son love with your younger brother, and don't quarrel with your aunt." Since the wooden coffin is not embalmed, then don't cover the wooden coffin lid, just cover the bronze coffin lid and it will be finished?"
