Volume 3 Snow Mountain Ice Palace Chapter 283 Helpless
Entering the right side hall, the big white plush animal skin was still thrown on the stone bed of white marble.
Tie Niu helped Hongxing to sit down on the stone bed, and while the owner of the red door went to unlock the lock, Tie Niu took out water and dry food from his backpack and gave it to Hongxing, so that she could eat some more.
The master of the red door squatted in front of the stone box at the end of the bed, which looked like a big square stone, and carefully observed it for a while, and then he found two small tools from his body that looked like ear diggers, and held one in each hand, and poked into the flat keyhole at the top of the stone box.
After fiddling cautiously for a while, there was no movement.
The owner of the red door had to withdraw his hand and said, "No! There seems to be a chain lock installed here, and it is a very special chain lock! Not only can I not open it, but if I continue to play with it, the keyhole may lock automatically!"
Several people were all disappointed, Tie Niu held the red apricot with one hand, and couldn't help but speak: "If it doesn't work, just find a sledgehammer and smash it! I don't believe that no matter how strong this stone box is, it can be stronger than a sledgehammer!"
Chen Xiaopang had also said this kind of proposal before, but at that time, Chen Xiaopang was just talking angrily in front of Chu Mingyu, with Chen Xiaopang's love for ancient cultural relics, he really wanted to smash it with a big hammer, not to mention that the things inside the stone box were very likely to be smashed, even if this stone box with exquisite patterns carved on the surface was smashed, Chen Xiaopang would feel very pity.
So Chen Xiaopang didn't agree with it, but he didn't say anything against it.
Ding Lingling shook her head and said, "You can't smash it with a hammer, look at this side, there are also two lines of text!"
She pointed to one of the side facades of the stone box, and Poplar was standing beside her, and sure enough, she saw that there were also two lines of seal characters on that side façade.
Without waiting for Bai Yang to carefully examine the two lines of seal characters, Ding Lingling said: "As I said, as long as the stone box is destroyed by violence, the entire Ice Palace will collapse immediately! With Wang Jiutang's ability, I don't think he will be lying and threatening!"
Chen Xiaopang frowned and said, "If that's the case, then wouldn't we really be like what the demon woman said, looking at this stone box, but there is nothing we can do?"
"It's not necessarily impossible, we don't have to smash it!" Chu Mingyu suddenly said.
The others immediately turned to look at her.
Chu Mingyu cleared his throat and said, "Since it is said that it cannot be destroyed by violence, then we can use a cutting machine to try it! Use a cutting machine to directly cut off a layer of the surface of the stone box, so that the stone box can be opened without damaging the contents of the stone box!"
Bai Yang and Ding Lingling looked at each other.
Ding Lingling shook her head and said, "First of all, using a cutting machine is also a way of violent destruction, and secondly, those who can cut granite should be heavy machinery, how can they be moved to this ice palace?"
"Don't worry about machinery, I can ask my dad to bring a light cutting machine from the United States!" Chu Mingyu immediately said, "As for the ...... Cutting is also violent destruction, but according to me, Wang Jiutang should not have imagined that there would be a cutting machine in the world in that era, right? Therefore, I think that Wang Jiutang's so-called violent destruction should be smashing and breaking and so on, and he definitely can't think of having the tools to just cut off the lid of the stone box! What's more, even cutting is also a way of destruction, so if we don't give it a try, how can we be willing?"
She actually had a point.
But several people did not express an opinion, and all of them turned their eyes to Poplar.
Bai Yang thought about it for a while, and then said, "What Miss Chu said is not unreasonable, but let's wait until we go back and ask Uncle Ding to make a decision!"
"It seems that this is the only way!" Chen Xiaopang sighed softly, "It's just...... After we leave, it will be bad if someone else comes in!"
He seemed to mean something.
Chu Mingyu couldn't help it for a long time, and immediately sneered and said: "Who else can find this place? If it weren't for the fact that Hongxing was taken captive this time, the Red Gate Master happened to chase the snowman into here, and it happened that the Red Gate Master's handkerchief was picked up by Youxue Amber and given to us, even if it was us, it would be impossible for us to find here, right? If the little fat brother is afraid that I will make trouble with the Red Gate Master, then I will be with you all the time, and when you come back, I will come back with you! If you don't believe me, then I can't help it!"
She straightened up her pretty face to show a little angry.
Before the others could speak, the Red Gate Lord followed with a wry smile and said, "We want to come back, but without the small cutter you just mentioned, even if we come back......, it will be in vain!" You don't have to worry about us, as soon as you get out from here, I will gather the people in my sect and officially announce the world's withdrawal from the Inverted Dou Realm!"
"If the Red Door Master can do this, it will also be a good thing for the Gleaning Sect!" Ding Lingling said with a smile, "As for Miss Chu, you don't have to worry too much, Brother Chubby's worry is actually the worry of all of us, after all, there are so many inverted sects in this world, since we can discover this Ice Palace, others may also have some coincidences!"
"What Lingling said makes a lot of sense!" Bai Yang nodded in approval, "So let's go down the mountain as soon as possible, and report the situation to Uncle Ding on the phone first, and see how Uncle Ding arranges!"
Chu Mingyu moved his lips, but he didn't say anything more.
Ding Lingling hurriedly asked her with a smile, "Is there anything else Miss Chu wants to say?"
"I want to say, if there is no small cutting machine in China that can cut granite, it will take at least a month to ship it from the United States.
"How is this possible!" Poplar shook his head with a wry smile, "The cold in this ice palace is very cold and bones-eroding, and there is nothing to eat or drink, we are not snow goddesses, we can't resist this kind of cold, and we can't open the stone box and directly take the immortal medicine as food!"
"I'm curious, there's nothing in this ice palace, how can the Snow Goddess prepare the immortal medicine?" Tie Niu interjected again, "Could it be that the Snow Goddess has enough immortal medicine enough for her to survive for thousands of years at one time, and then slowly spend her long life in this cold ice palace?" Then she has lived a tormented life for thousands of years!"
"Of course, it is impossible to have enough immortal medicine for her to survive for thousands of years at one time!" Ding Lingling replied, "According to my thoughts, these guards of hers should be able to go down the mountain at any time." Didn't you hear the Snow Goddess say that the one-hook warrior had suffered the loss of a firearm? But the one-hook warrior had lived for at least two hundred years, and judging from what he was wearing, he must have not gone down the mountain to show his face in front of people for many years! I guess he had suffered a loss of a firearm dozens or hundreds of years ago, and he never left the Ice Palace again! As for the ...... The Snow Goddess spent her long life in this cold ice palace, which seemed to us extremely tormenting, but for the Snow Goddess she was probably used to it......! From the Biyou Goddess, to Master Ao Jian and the King of the Heavenly Elephants, which one of them has not been stuck in the underground palace for a thousand years? They have to fall into a deep sleep every once in a while, even if they go out, they have to rush back in advance, they are afraid that they are tired of living like this for a long time, so there are still records of them in the world thousands of years ago, such as the Snow Goddess married the Emperor of Nanzhao, and Master Ao Jian appeared in the crescent moon spring in Dunhuang, but after a thousand years, they disappeared and never showed their faces in the world again! But no matter how tormented life is, he is still alive, if he wants to be like Qingyunzi, simply stop taking immortal medicine, and let his life come to an end, it will take too much courage and determination, it is obvious that several alchemists, including the Snow Goddess, do not have such courage, so they can only hide in the underground palace to survive!"
Ding Lingling's tirade, in fact, when she met Master Ao Jian and the Heavenly Elephant King, Bai Yang and others had already discussed it.
It's just that she said it for too long, and several people chewed slowly in their hearts, and they didn't have an interface for a while.
Instead, the Red Gate Lord sighed and said, "Yes, really...... A thousand years of immortality, those long years, will never be as beautiful as imagined! Not to mention...... If you want to fall into a long sleep from time to time, it is really better not to be immortal like this! It's just ridiculous that we have picked up the relics, and from the very beginning of the sect, we started a sect in order to find the immortal medicine and immortal medicine list left by our ancestors, but we don't know...... If you really find it, it may not be a blessing!"
Several people all nodded in agreement.
Only Chu Mingyu's face showed disapproval, and he asked, "According to your intentions, why don't you open this stone box?"
"If you open it, you must still open it!" Ding Lingling said, "First of all, there are likely to be other precious cultural relics in the stone box, and secondly, if we really want to find the immortal medicine and the immortal medicine list, we don't expect immortality, but that must be a great contribution to modern medicine and biology!"
"So let's not delay, Lingling and Brother Little Fat will sort out the cultural relics in these two side halls, and if we can take them out, let's try to take them out today! What should we do after that, let's listen to Uncle Ding's instructions!"
Poplar opened his mouth to make a decision, and the others had no opinion.
"What about the Ice Palace, do you want to go and see it?" Chu Mingyu said, showing a look of eagerness.
"We don't know what the situation will be on the top of the Ice Palace, in case of danger going up, it will be troublesome!So let me go up with the Red Gate Master to take a look, everyone else is sorting out the cultural relics below!" Bai Yang said, smiling at Chu Mingyu, "I know that Miss Chu's family is rich and wealthy, and she must also have a certain amount of research on ancient cultural relics, so I have to ask Miss Chu for help!"
What he said was actually a statement that all cultural relics belonged to the country, and no one, including Chu Mingyu and the Gleaners, could not swallow it privately, how could Chu Mingyu not hear it?
But Bai Yang said politely, and Chu Mingyu could only nod in agreement.
After that, Poplar came out of the right side hall with the Red Gate Master, looking for the stairs to go to the upper floor of the Ice Palace.
In fact, on the ice wall at the back of the main hall, there is an upward staircase, and the two adult snow ambers followed this staircase to the upper level of the ice palace.
The staircase was directly excavated on top of the ice wall, but because there were very few impurities in the ice wall, it was close to full transparency, so it was not easy to find this obvious staircase without looking closely.
Since it was carved into the ice wall, the surface of the staircase was naturally slippery.
However, the red door master is superb, and Poplar is wearing non-slip shoes, so the two of them walk fairly steadily.
It's just that after climbing the stairs into the upper floor, the scene in front of them made the two people stunned.
It's really amazing, it's all built of ice, but the carved beams and the portals overlap.
The sunlight transmits and reflects between the ice walls and the roofed roofs, forming a halo of colored light, which is really like the Qionggong Tianque and the Xianjia Cave.
Poplar and the Red Gate Lord were shocked for a long time, and it was difficult to speak.
When they finally came back to their senses, the two found that there was no further staircase in front of them, and Poplar had the intention to go through the door to look carefully, but was pulled by the owner of the red door.
"You can't walk around, I feel like this whole ice palace is like a maze, let's not go in, we won't be able to find our way down!" said the Red Door Master.
