Chapter 112: Building Wings
The Phantom Elf was obviously a frequent visitor to this secret passage, she skillfully opened the mechanism, and then quickly scattered the four runes guarding the secret passage with strange techniques, and the magical power was swung on the crane staff in her hand, killing decisively, as if nothing could stop her progress.
With such a crisp and neat movement, even Chu Yunchuan was amazed.
In front of it is a deep and long tunnel, and when the breath of living people spreads in the air, the lamps on the walls of the cave on both sides seem to be sensed by some kind of induction and automatically light up. Under the illumination of the lamp, you can clearly see that the cave wall is full of pictures, and at a glance, it is like a magnificent picture scroll, extending to the end of the cave path. In the painting, those fighting figures in various postures are all lifelike, as if they will pounce out of the painting wall at any time, giving people an incomparably weird sense of shock.
"Master Pig's Head, what is this painting carved on? It's amazing, those figures seem to be moving. ”
"It should be a soul imprint. ”
"That's right. The Phantom Elf who led the way in front did not look back, she said as she walked: "On the painting wall, the glorious war history of our elven race is imprinted, from which you can see how our great Phantom King conquered those proud giants. If you are smart enough, you can also see that having a brave heart is more important than having a huge body with rough skin and thick flesh during the long journey. ”
Chu Yunchuan asked, "Do you think we are not brave enough?"
The Phantom Elf said, "This is just a kind reminder from me. ”
"Hehe, it's kind of interesting. With a light smile, Chu Yunchuan asked curiously, "What should I call you?"
"Just call me the mausoleum keeper. She didn't seem to be willing to mention her identity, and took up another topic: "The ghostly curse is in the air, everywhere, but anyone who enters the island of Elysium will inevitably encounter the doom of fate and sleep. This is the smartest thing that our great King has done in his life, and his curse has succeeded in keeping the foreign invasion at bay and allowing the king's reign to continue smoothly. ”
Bai Muxue answered: "I guess your King Youming must have no son. ”
The mausoleum keeper was secretly taken aback, and turned back to ask Bai Muxue, "How did you know?"
"Is this still a question?" Bai Muxue said unscrupulously: "Such a despicable and shameless person is strange if he keeps having grandchildren. ”
Hearing this, Chu Yunchuan's nerves tensed, and he said in his heart: "You dead girl really dare to say it!" This time he was really a little worried. The mausoleum keeper has always said that the word "great" is crowned in front of the King of Youming, which shows the reverence for him, which is a kind of worship rooted in the depths of the heart.
However, what surprised Chu Yunchuan was that the mausoleum keeper was not angry, but when she turned around, a sly smile on her lips was terrifying. This old woman has always been like a mystery, and it is impossible to guess what is going on in her head.
When she was about to reach the entrance of the cave, she said again: "Only the water of the Lingquan Pool can solve the curse of Youming, but with your current state, you will definitely not be able to reach the Lingquan Pool, and the defense force there is much stronger than you imagined." Once you're in the city, go to a craftsman to build a pair of elven wings and learn how to make a ghostly elf, but the more realistic the elven wings, the more expensive they are, do you have enough money?"
"Money is not a problem!" Bai Muxue said with a rich face: "As long as you lead the way, we will not treat you badly...... But can you disguise yourself as an elf just by having a pair of elf wings? Our eyes are not the right color, and this can still be seen. ”
"Don't worry, as long as you can afford the price, the shrewd craftsmen will have a full set of services, and they can even inject a noble elf breath into your body." ”
Between the words, the three of them had already walked to the entrance of the cave, and the sun outside was warm.
Chu Yunchuan glanced back at the cave wall, and at the end of the mural, it depicted the final conquest - the strong Giant Emperor fell in a pool of blood, and the Youming King with a pair of black wings stepped on his head and shouted to the whole clan: "Youming is immortal, Bliss is eternal!"
Looking at this mural, Chu Yunchuan couldn't figure it out, since the elf clan had conquered the Giant Clan by force and replaced the ruling power of the Giant Clan, why would a giant mausoleum be set up to bury the Giant Emperor with the momentum of the Imperial Tomb of the Ninety-Five? If that imperial mausoleum represents the great benevolence and righteousness of the King of Youming, then this mural full of irony is really embarrassing.
Chu Yunchuan originally wanted to ask the mausoleum keeper, but he knew deeply that if the mausoleum keeper was willing to tell the story of the imperial mausoleum, he would have told it a long time ago, and he would not wait until now.
After entering the royal city, Chu Yunchuan had a feeling of returning to the red dust market.
The difference is that this is a wonderful forest world, with picturesque landscapes and quirky tree houses and cave kilns. The people of the elven clan are also like the laymen in the red dust, they are busy with their own livelihoods, and they don't have much time to pay attention to other things, and ruling is the right and duty of the king, and it has nothing to do with them.
In the distance, the waterfall hangs on the wall, and there are bamboo shoot-like palace tops in the dangerous ravines of the strange mountains, which stand like forests, and the heights are different. That gorgeous and majestic world, made of white jade, is obviously not a commoner's world, and you can smell the luxurious smell of the wine pond and meat forest from a distance.
What surprised Chu Yunchuan was that in that world, there was a jade pillar that stood out from the crowd and looked very special, whether it was its geographical location in the center, or the height and momentum that made people look up, it gave people a sense of sacredness that could not be blasphemed.
Look closely, there is a giant bird with wings spread and flying high on the jade pillar, looking at the form, it looks like a Kunpeng.
"If you know enough about the elves, you won't be surprised. The mausoleum keeper seemed to see through Chu Yunchuan's mind and explained: "The Kunpeng Divine Bird is the guardian spirit of our elven clan, if you want to successfully fulfill your wishes, it is best to learn to respect it, that will avoid a lot of trouble." ”
"Thank you for the reminder. ”
After a while, Chu Yunchuan and Bai Muxue accompanied the tomb guards to find a craftsman's shop in the market town.
The craftsman was a young black-winged elf, but his business acumen was obviously more mature than his still immature-looking cheeks, and when Chu Yunchuan and Bai Muxue appeared in front of him, he seemed to have understood that this was a big business. However, instead of answering the guests immediately, he looked outside vigilantly to make sure that no one was nearby with the giant slaves, and then hurriedly invited the guests into the house, and carefully closed the wooden door.
The young craftsman's gaze fell on the mausoleum keeper, and he saluted respectfully, saying, "Although you are dressed casually, you can smell from your noble breath that you should be an adult...... I don't know if the adults are coming, what advice do you have?"
"I think you're blind, I'm just an inconspicuous civilian like you. The mausoleum keeper said straight to the point: "As a businessman, it's not a good thing to be too timid, I brought people here to take care of your business, not to guess riddles with you." ”
"As you must already know, something happened in the royal city recently, and in this environment, it is very dangerous to do business with foreigners. The young craftsman glanced at Chu and Bai, and added with a smile: "However, my lord is right, it is not a good thing that the merchant is too timid. ”
"No more nonsense. The mausoleum keeper said bluntly: "My two friends have just arrived, and they want to experience the life of the elves, and I hope you can give them a pair of perfect wings and beautiful blue eyes, including the noble elven breath, and they can't miss it." ”
"Noble elven aura, what ...... this" The craftsman was slightly embarrassed, and said: "Recently, the rumors have been tight, and those rotten people who originally had noble blood have hidden, and no one sells elven aura. The only remaining source of goods in the shop has already been booked, which is really a bit difficult to manage......"
Without waiting for him to finish, Bai Muxue poured a bag of gold on the table and asked, "Is it enough?"
In an instant, the craftsman's eyes lit up, and he said politely: "Two dignified guests, the most noble elven aura in heaven and earth is waiting for their new masters, but the whole transformation journey will take about two hours, which of you will start first?"
Chu Yunchuan looked at Bai Muxue schematically.
Bai Muxue nodded in understanding and said, "I'll come first." ”
"Noble young lady, please stand in this circle of light, yes, stand up straight, and I will send you to the wonderful testing ground for transformation. Under the guidance of the craftsman, Bai Muxue suddenly disappeared in place with the flashing light.
And almost at the same time, someone outside knocked vigorously on the door and shouted: "Open the door, open the door!"
The craftsman was taken aback and said, "Oh no, it seems to be the voice of the city patrolman, you should hide first." He hurriedly tried to find a hiding place for Chu Yunchuan, but before he could find it, there was a loud bang, the wooden door that was not very strong was knocked down by brute force, and an elven chief led six giant slaves to rush in savagely.
