The two of them entered the hole made by hollowing out the giant lotus leaf pole.
I saw the great elder's wings flashing with little lights, and her hands clasped together as if praying.
After a while, the door in front slowly opened.
Ye Shang looked at this scene and raised his eyebrows slightly. Is this Open Sesame?
The elder led Ye Shang inside, but it was not as dark as he imagined. On the contrary, it was like an empty palace.
In the huge temple, the top and sides are inlaid with luminous stones. They will not always light up, but will flicker as long as someone enters from here.
After walking down the long hall, we started climbing up the stairs.
There are various things on each floor, either sparkling treasures or some fallen elves' teeth.
Ye Shang even saw that there were only two pairs of wings on one floor.
There seemed to be blood dripping on it.
Seeing her eyes lingering on the pair of wings, the Great Elder said: "These are the elves who ran away from who knows where. In fact, when they came back, their wings were broken and they had little life left. They were originally there. You won’t have wings until you die.”
She said slowly: "Perhaps God saw them as pitiful. At this time, a human came to help them and found the two pairs of wings for them. Unfortunately, the human was also dying when he came back and died behind the two elves. In front of them, they felt that they had harmed that human being, so they both failed to survive and passed away."
At that time, only two pairs of lonely transparent wings with blood were still held in the human's hand, but he fell forever.
The two elves did not repair their injuries, and died next to the human, feeling guilty before they died.
After hearing her story, Ye Shang felt that something was wrong. She asked, "Is the blood on the wings from the human or the two elves?"
The great elder glanced at her and said, "Of course they belong to the human, but I heard that the wings of these two elves were taken away by humans for a while."
Ye Shang: "The size is a bit inappropriate."
Elves are so small and humans are so big, how can they possibly match.
The Great Elder said: "It is indeed not suitable, but I don't know what methods humans used at that time to make the wings larger. The two pairs of wings together can fully achieve the effect of flying."
Ye Shang expressed his doubts: "How did that human know who owned these wings? And why could he bring them back as soon as he went out? It means that the human who took away the elf's wings knew him. Therefore, it is very likely that the two knew each other, especially if an acquaintance committed the crime."
The great elder looked at Ye Shang blankly, because she had never thought about it like this before. She also thought about how she wanted to be grateful to the human who took back the wings for the elf, how to repay him, and so on. She had never thought about this aspect.
When Ye Shang saw her expression, he knew that the elves were still innocent.
She twitched the corners of her lips, "I'm not sure if the reason why these two elves were able to escape was because of the human plan or help."
Ye Shang thought for a while and continued: "Maybe this world has natural protection for you elves, and he can't hurt you inside, but as long as you go out, you can naturally do whatever you want."
The Great Elder frowned and said, "Then why did he take the wings back and even died because of it?"
Ye Shang looked at her with a half-smile, "Maybe the person he knew suffered some kind of backlash? After all, your race is still protected by the world, and he sent his wings back, thinking he could avoid the backlash. Unexpectedly, he died because of it, which may be something he can't understand."
The will of the world directly accompanies life. If you are outside, I can't kill you. But when you come to my territory, I can't kill you?
Don't be ridiculous, that's the will of the world.
The First Elder looked at Ye Shang blankly, unable to answer for a while, mainly because this knowledge overturned her previous impression of human beings.
She looked at Ye Shang, but unexpectedly, the pair of bloody wings flew to Ye Shang's side.
As if to say, no, the benefactor would not be such a person.
Ye Shang looked at the wings flying towards him and said helplessly: "Of course, this is my own guess. You can choose to believe it or not."
"Oh, by the way, maybe the human you saw after you went out might actually have something to do with the human who died in the elf world."
Ye Shang speculated with a hint of bad intentions.
The Great Elder thought for a while and said to Ye Shang: "The appearance should not be the same, otherwise the two elves would be able to recognize him."
Ye Shang: "Where is the one you love?"
The two pairs of transparent wings with blood suddenly stopped for a moment, because this guess was really possible.
They had learned from his mouth that he had a human woman that he had liked for a long time.
Ye Shang saw the pair of wings flashing in front of his eyes and said, "You'd better stop hanging around in front of me. Go hang there."
The great elder looked at the pair of wings and said: "Let's keep walking."
Ye Shang raised his legs to follow, leaving behind the two pairs of silent wings that had fallen to the ground.
She thought to herself that this was just her guess, but after looking at the reactions of these elves, could it be that her guess came true?
After climbing for an unknown amount of time, Ye Shang suddenly asked, "Can't we fly up?"
Why do you have to climb so many stairs?
The great elder paused, looked at Ye Shang, and said solemnly: "Yes."
After she responded, the wings behind her started to flap and gradually flew upward.
Ye Shang:.
Although she wasn't tired and didn't feel tired from climbing the stairs, she was really speechless when she saw this scene.
He summoned a light shadow and flew upwards behind the great elder.
After a while, they reached the top floor, and the great elder opened the door again in the same way as before.
The two walked in one after the other.
Ye Shang followed behind. The furnishings here were very simple. There was nothing except a huge lotus leaf floating in the center. On the lotus leaf was a fully bloomed lotus.
The Great Elder flew forward and said to the hanging lotus: "This is one of the treasures of our clan, the eternal bloom."
Ye Shang looked at the hanging lotus leaves and the lotus flowers coming to the door, even spinning slightly.
"Eternal bloom? Does that mean it has always been like this?"
This lotus is always in full bloom.
The Great Elder nodded: "Yes, it looks like this no matter where it is."
Ye Shang thought for a moment and asked, "But what's the use of this?"
What does it mean? You can't just take it back and watch it.
The great elder looked at the blooming lotus, and then said sadly: "This lotus can restore life to all the surrounding green plants, but except for it, which will never wither, the rest will decay and wither according to the laws of nature."
