stern wife

Chapter 995 Shenmu
Several people saw this unbelievable scene at the same time, and they all stood there dumbfounded.

For a long time, I was speechless.

"How is this going?"

After a long time, Pei Xiaoran finally came back to his senses, pointing at the smear of dust left in Pei Junwan's little hand, he asked puzzledly.

Mulberry silkworm pursed her lips, and did not rush to answer, but in order to verify her inner thoughts, she took out a handkerchief from the coffin that was placed by Xian Xian.

Sure enough, as soon as they left the coffin, the veils also began to fade and rot, and finally turned into powder and fell down one after another.

"it is as expected……"

Mulberry silkworm patted the powder in his hands, squatted down, and carefully looked at the coffin in front of him.

She said slowly:

"Since the reason for the incorruption is not from the corpse itself, then it must be from the coffin.

I see, this material is not like golden nanmu. "

Generally, the coffins used by the royal family are made of high-quality golden nanmu.

Because this wood is rarer, stronger, and less prone to decay over time than other woods.

But obviously, this coffin is not made of golden nanmu.

But other woods... are not like that either.

Baili Lieyuan walked over to have a look, nodded, and said:

"This is indeed not the coffin used when my mother was buried."

However, because the incorruption of the remains is too miraculous, and the successive births are too beautiful, no matter who sees the successive remains, it is impossible to notice other details.

Even Baili Lieyuan, his biological son, only realized something was wrong with the coffin at this time.

He touched the dark coffin.

I don't know if it's an illusion, but Baili Lieyuan felt as if something was swimming slowly under his hands.

Baili Lieyuan was startled, and quickly backed away several steps with a scream.

"what happened?"

Pei Xiaoran was also startled by him, and quickly supported him.

"This coffin... this coffin... seems to move..."

Baili Lieyuan looked at the black coffin with a little fear in his eyes.

"Can it move?"

Pei Xiaoran and Sangcan looked at each other, and they put their hands on the coffin at the same time.

Pei Xiaoran also immediately withdrew his hand, and quickly took a few steps back, staying away from the coffin.

Mulberry silkworm was not afraid, but kept putting his hands on it, silently feeling something.

After a long time, she withdrew her hand and stood up slowly.

"Sister Silkworm, what the hell is this?!"

Obviously this coffin looks flat and hard.

However, when you put your palm on it, you can clearly feel that there is something like a stream of water flowing slowly from the bottom of your palm.

It seems that there are countless snakes hidden inside.

The shuddering touch coupled with the shuddering imagination, it's no wonder that Baili Lieyuan reacted so strongly.

Pei Junwan, who was standing by the coffin, saw that the adults reacted so strongly, she suddenly became curious.

Taking advantage of the time when the few people were chatting without noticing her, Pei Junwan also tried to stretch out her little hand, and quietly stuck it on the coffin.

...Wow, it's amazing!I really feel it!
Pei Junwan's small face couldn't help showing a bit of excitement, but there was no sign of fear at all.

Then, he quietly withdrew his little hand and listened carefully to what his master said.

"This...if I'm not mistaken, it should be the legendary 'living wood'."

"Live wood? What?"

Pei Xiaoran had never heard of this thing, and his face was full of question marks.

"Actually, I haven't seen it with my own eyes before this, I just saw the description of it in the book."

Mulberry silkworm raised his head slightly, recalling the contents of the book:
"The book says that this kind of tree is rare in the world, and those who can find it are extremely lucky people.

This kind of wood has the effect of regenerating severed fingers, that is to say, no matter where you are broken, as long as you are not dead, you can cut off a piece of this kind of wood and soak it in water to drink, and new limbs can grow from the broken place.

It is as if it has life itself, and it can continuously provide nutrients to other things.

Therefore, if it is used as a coffin, it can indeed protect the remains for a long time.

However, it has a strange appearance, no leaves, and the whole body is black. It looks like a burnt dead wood, and it is difficult for ordinary people to find its existence. "

"In this world, is there such a magical thing?"

Pei Xiaoran's eyes were wide open.

"The world is big, and there are no wonders."

Mulberry silkworm couldn't help but gently stroked the coffin again, saying:

"It's also the first time I saw it. Before, I only thought that such a thing could not exist, it was just made up by the ancestors to bluff people.

I didn't expect that there was such a thing, and I was lucky enough to see it with my own eyes and touch it with my own hands.

This life is worth it. "

"So...everything that leaves it will quickly rot?"

The fear in his heart decreased a little, Pei Xiaoran stepped forward, looked at the coffin curiously and asked.

"Yes, it nourishes everything.

However, everything will only depend on it.

Once you leave it, everything will come to naught. "

Indeed, it has only been more than a dozen years. Logically speaking, it is impossible for the luxurious silk and satin on her body to rot into powder so quickly.

It turned out to be because of the coffin.

In other words, if the bodies of successive ones are also removed from this coffin, will they also...

Seemingly seeing what Pei Xiaoran was thinking, Sangworm nodded firmly and said:

"Maybe, there won't even be any bones left.

But when it's time to let go, you should let go.

After a person dies, they will eventually turn into a lump of loess, so why care about whether the rest is bone or powder? "

The last words were obviously addressed to Baili Lieyuan.

Baili Lieyuan looked at the body in the coffin and didn't speak for a long time.

Pei Xiaoran looked at Baili Lieyuan, and knew that what Mulberry Silkworm said made sense, but he couldn't bear to push him too hard, so he said softly:
"There's no rush. Anyway, this 'living wood' won't die for a while, so we might as well talk about it later."

Mulberry silkworm couldn't help covering his mouth with a smile, and said:
"'Living wood' will never die, its vitality is very tenacious, unless it is burned to ashes with fire, otherwise, even if there is only a short piece left, as long as it is inserted into the soil, it will grow into a new living wood Wood."

After hearing this, Pei Xiaoran scratched his head, feeling that something was wrong.

"...No, since the vitality of this kind of wood is so tenacious, why is it so rare and hard to find?"

Isn't this contradictory?

Mulberry silkworm sighed and said:

"Don't forget, a living tree is easy to plant, but a human heart is hard to fill.

All the people who can find living logs are unlikely to leave a piece stuck in the soil to be found and dug away by others.

Therefore, after they found the living wood, they would uproot the living wood without leaving even a branch.

As time goes by, the living wood left in the world becomes less and less, and even looking for it, it is impossible to find it. "
