As the coffin lid was opened, a strange fragrance suddenly rushed into Lin Qiye's nostrils. He stared at the gap in the coffin. After seeing the scene under the coffin lid, he suddenly froze in place.
On the flat black coffin board, a girl in a dark blue robe was lying there. Her fair skin was as delicate as a baby's, her long black hair outlined her delicate facial features, her pink lips were slightly pursed, and above them was a nose as white as jade. Her long eyelashes trembled slightly, and her eyes as bright as stars slowly opened...
Lin Qiye stared at the girl in the coffin, his eyes filled with shock.
people?
How could it be a person?
Lin Qiye's mind swept across the girl's body, human internal organs, human brain, human blood, human appearance... Everything seemed to confirm that she was indeed a human being.
Before opening the coffin, Lin Qiye boldly imagined what might appear inside the coffin, such as a thousand-year-old zombie with a yellow talisman on its forehead, a ghost transformed into an evil spirit, a bloody corpse filled with resentment... Even if a Benboer Ba jumped out of it, Lin Qiye would not find it strange.
But... there is a living person inside.
Who could lie in a coffin in Fengdu Heavenly Palace for hundreds or thousands of years?
Not to mention rotting, there wasn't even a single wrinkle on her body. Her skin was as delicate as white jade, her hair was like a waterfall, and even the dark blue robe she was wearing looked brand new, without a speck of dust on it.
Who could believe that such a young girl would lie in a coffin in the eerie and mysterious Fengdu Palace?
The girl's gaze was fixed on Lin Qiye's face, her scattered pupils slowly focused, and a look of confusion emerged in her eyes.
She struggled to sit up from the coffin, her long black hair slid down the dark blue satin and fell on her shoulders. She tilted her neck slightly and looked around, her bright eyes revealing a feeling of being in another world.
When Lin Qiye saw the blue clothes on the mysterious girl, he instantly thought of the pictures on the surface of the coffin. The figure in the picture who was being worshipped and then stepped into the coffin by herself was actually a woman?
Lin Qiye opened his mouth and was about to ask something when the thunderous sound of swords being drawn suddenly echoed in the hall!
Clang——!!!
Lin Qiye's face suddenly changed, and he turned around to look. He saw that those bronze armors that were originally facing the palace door had turned their heads at the same time and were facing Lin Qiye. Wisps of strange black smoke poured out from the gaps in the armor and quickly condensed into a human shape.
The long swords behind these bronze armors have been unsheathed!
A black smoke figure wearing bronze armor held a long sword in his hand, with the sharp blade pointed straight at Lin Qiye. Wisps of faint green light emanated from under the helmet, and a strong aura of death instantly descended upon the entire hall!
Three hundred bronze armors and three hundred killing swords!
Black smoke surged, and all the bronze armors left the hanging cross wooden frames, holding long swords, and floated towards Lin Qiye rapidly!
Seeing this, Lin Qiye's eyes narrowed slightly, he took a deep breath, and also pulled out the two straight knives behind him.
What is supposed to come will eventually come.
He held the knife in both hands, an extreme darkness spread under his feet, the golden light in his eyes ignited again, and the collar of his black shirt swayed violently in the strong wind brought up by the three hundred bronze armors.
At this moment, the girl in blue frowned slightly and raised her foot to walk out of the coffin. Perhaps because her joints had not been exercised for a long time, she lost her balance when her foot landed on the ground and fell violently to the ground.
Seeing that three hundred bronze armored men had already rushed in front of her, the girl in blue gritted her teeth, quickly got up from the ground, and stumbled to Lin Qiye...
Lin Qiye, who was about to swing his knife, paused when he saw this, and he stood there in a daze.
The girl in blue rushed to Lin Qiye barefoot, turned around and faced the three hundred bronze armored men swarming towards her, opened her arms and protected Lin Qiye behind her.
The wide sleeves of the Han costume were blown up by the strong wind of the three hundred bronze armors. The girl's star-like bright eyes looked firmly ahead, and a cold long sword was fixed half an inch in front of her forehead, just a hair's breadth away from slashing her face.
All the bronze armors stopped moving, and the entire hall fell into deathly silence.
The blue-clothed girl's eyes swept over the three hundred bronze armors, her lips slightly opened, and after trying for a long time, a vague and somewhat voiceless syllable came out of her mouth.
"……retreat."
As this voice sounded, the long swords wrapped in black smoke returned to their sheaths at the same time, and all the bronze armors retreated like a tide and returned to their respective cross wooden crosses.
The black smoke dissipated, and the green glow beneath the bronze helmets gradually dimmed and eventually disappeared. The three hundred bronze helmets were just as they were when Lin Qiye first entered the hall, hanging quietly on the wooden racks, as if everything that had just happened was just an illusion.
Lin Qiye, who witnessed the whole process, stood behind the girl in blue, his brows tightly furrowed, and the doubts in his heart became more and more intense.
After hesitating for a moment, he sheathed his two swords, and the golden light in his eyes quickly faded.
"Who are you?"
Lin Qiye looked at the back of the girl in blue and asked in a deep voice.
The girl in blue turned around, her bright eyes staring at Lin Qiye's face for a moment, gently curved like a crescent moon, and her smile was as beautiful as a flower.
She opened her lips and tried hard to say something, but all she came out were vague syllables.
After trying many times, the girl in blue stomped her feet in annoyance, her slender brows tightly furrowed, and she looked distressed.
Lin Qiye pondered for a moment and asked tentatively: "Because I haven't spoken for a long time, have you forgotten how to speak?"
The girl in blue nodded heavily!
Lin Qiye sighed helplessly, "Then, I'll ask, and you demonstrate."
The girl in blue blinked.
"Are you the one painted on the coffin?" Lin Qiye asked, pointing at the blue-clothed figure in the first picture on the coffin.
The girl in blue nodded.
"You've been staying in this coffin?"
The girl in blue nodded again.
Lin Qiye frowned slightly, "How long have you been in here?"
The girl in blue hesitated for a moment, then stretched out two fingers uncertainly...
"Two hundred years?" Lin Qiye asked in surprise.
The girl in blue shook her head.
Lin Qiye was stunned, opened his mouth, and asked tentatively: "Two...thousand years?"
The girl in blue nodded.
When Lin Qiye saw her nod, his heart was shaken and he froze in place.
Not to mention how a human being could possibly live for two thousand years. Even lying in a dark and narrow space like a coffin for two days would be enough to drive any mentally mature man crazy, let alone two years.
But the girl in front of me has been lying in the coffin for two thousand years?
For these two thousand years, no one spoke, there was no light, and she was not even allowed to move her arms. The only thing that accompanied her was endless darkness and deathly silence... How did she do it?
Lin Qiye stared at the girl blankly for a long time, then slowly asked another question: "What's your name?"
The girl in blue was startled, and lowered her head to think for a long time, as if she was thinking about how to spell out her own name...
After a moment, she gave up struggling, walked quickly to Lin Qiye, spread out his palm, and gently wrote two words on his palm with her fingertips.
——Kalan.
