Several people immediately turned their eyes to the Red Gate Lord.

The Red Gate Lord took a breath and said slowly, "Have you ever heard of a living corpse?"

The people looked at each other, and Poplar and Tie Niu couldn't help but glance at each other.

The two of them had encountered a living corpse in the underground palace of the Black Desert Celestial Elephant Country, but they didn't expect to hear the Red Gate Master mention this kind of monster today.

"I've heard of a dead body!" Sun Hao said slowly, "It is said that it is a kind of monster made of ancient evil methods, this monster is as dry as a firewood knife and invulnerable, so it is a hundred times more terrible than a big zongzi! But I've been fighting for decades, and I've never really met a live cadaver, and I've never heard of anyone who has ever encountered a live cadaver, and the Red Door Lord suddenly mentioned the live cadaver today, could it be that the Red Door Lord thought that the one lying in this coffin would be a live cadaver?"

"That's right!" the Red Door Master nodded, "According to the information I have, the living corpse is not a completely dead person, but when someone is about to die, first use the ancient evil method to preserve part of their brain and fall into a deep sleep, and then make their muscles dehydrate and dry, and then seal them in a coffin. A certain spice is placed inside the coffin to ensure that the remnants of the brain remain conscious. Hundreds or even thousands of years later, if someone enters the tomb, the breath of the living can immediately reawaken the consciousness of the remnants of the brain of the living corpse. Because of this, not only can it not be injured by slashing and chopping with an axe, but it also attacks faster and the target of its attack is more clear! You may as well smell it carefully, do you smell a fragrance? I think this is because the coffin has been opened for 30 years, so the fragrance is very light, and if Master Zheng's brothers and sisters first came in 30 years ago, this fragrance must have been even stronger!"

As soon as Bai Yang approached the coffin, he could already smell a fragrance, but the fragrance was too light, and he thought it was emanating from the Red Gate Lord, so he didn't make a sound.

When the others heard what the Red Door Master said, they all shrugged their noses and inhaled hard, and soon, Sun Hao nodded first and said, "There is indeed a fragrance, very light, but it smells quite good!"

"That's right!" the Red Gate Master nodded, "You have already understood how bad the smell of the big rice dumplings is, and only the living corpses will have this kind of fragrance left!"

"If it's a living corpse, why are there so many funerary goods in this tomb? Even the jade pendant and jade crown in this coffin are very exquisite, even the Red Gate Lord himself said that it is not an ordinary person who can wear it!" Xu Xiang questioned unconvinced.

"It seems that Master Xu has never heard of a corpse being alive!" the Red Door Master smiled slightly.

Xu Xiang's face was hot, and he straightened his neck and said, "Even if you haven't heard of it, it's hard to say whether the corpse really exists, who knows if it will be made up by the Red Gate Master himself?"

"I don't need to make it up!" the Red Gate Master shook his head, "Master Xu mentioned why there are so many burial goods in the tomb of the living corpse, that is because Master Xu only knows one and does not know the other! Everyone knows that the so-called big zongzi can only be the slaves of the tomb owner, and the reason why they are made into big zongzi is to protect the tomb! But the identity of the living corpse before his death is by no means a slave, but the most confidant of the tomb owner, and may even be the brother of the tomb owner, or a child or grandson! The reason why these noble people will be made into live corpses is, of course, to guard the tomb for the owner of the tomb, which contains the meaning of eternal friendship with the owner of the tomb from generation to generation; second, as I just said, a part of the brain of the living corpse has always been kept alive, and it has always retained a part of the human consciousness, and from a certain point of view, this can be regarded as a way for human beings to seek eternal life! Although this way of eternal life is very sad in the eyes of our modern people, it is undesirable in the eyes of the ancients! Moreover, the drugs and spices used to make a live dried corpse are extremely rare, so naturally only people with a certain status can be qualified to be made into a live dried corpse!"

The words of the Red Gate Lord made everyone look at each other, Zheng Xiangtai spoke again, and asked, "The kid surnamed Bai just now said that there are human hair strands on this jade crown, can it be that the living corpse can still keep the hair from drying up and decaying for hundreds of thousands of years?"

"Master Zheng's good question!" "The Red Gate Lord nodded, held the jade crown in his hand, and projected the pillar of light on the jade crown, "Everyone take a closer look, is there really a few hairs on this?"

Several people all took a closer look, and it was true that there were a few strands of hair stuck on the jade crown. The color of the hair is gray, and it seems that the time of decay and ash is not far away.

"I just said that part of the brain of a living corpse is kept alive, but in order to keep it alive, it must ensure a certain amount of humidity! So the whole body of the living corpse is dry like firewood, but on the top of its head, there will be a small piece of scalp that is as soft as life, and it is on this scalp that there will be a small amount of hair that will not rot for thousands of years. And I think these hairs are the hair left over from the fresh scalp on top of the head of the living corpse. It's just that after the coffin was lifted, the living corpse sat up, threw off the jade crown on its head, and ripped off the last few hairs of it!"

The Red Gate Lord finally finished speaking, but those people were still skeptical, Li Er suddenly opened his mouth and asked, "Isn't it possible that these hairs are the ones that Master Zheng's junior brothers once picked up this jade crown and stuck their hair in?"

"Yes, I also think this is more likely!" Zheng Xiangtai said immediately.

"But I think it's very unlikely!" the Red Gate Lord shook his head, "First of all, this jade crown is not too big, if Master Zheng's junior brothers really used to hold it in their hands, then wouldn't it be easy to put it in their pockets? Think about it for yourself, if you all get this jade crown, can you put it back in the coffin properly? Second, Brother Gangsun also said that the corpse is invulnerable to knives and guns, and its attack power is a hundred times better than that of a zombie, to be honest, I don't think that Master Zheng's brothers and sisters can surrender the corpse alive!"

As soon as the Red Gate Lord said this, several inverted people all turned their eyes to Zheng Xiangtai.

Zheng Xiangtai laughed for a while, and said: "The Red Gate Master is too underestimated by my senior brothers! I have also heard of the living corpse, and I have indeed heard that it is invulnerable! But that is just a legend, does the Red Gate Lord mean that my senior brothers were trapped in this big tomb and were killed by the living corpse?"

"I didn't say that, but I can't rule out the possibility!" replied lightly.

"What does the Red Gate Lord mean, my wife was also dragged into the tomb by a live corpse?"

"This is definitely not!" the Red Gate Lord shook his head, "Because once the corpse is awakened by humans, it won't survive for long! It's just that it's as dry as firewood, and its corpse can continue to be preserved! If you don't believe it, you might as well look around this tomb, I think you can definitely find the dead corpse of the living corpse!"

"The Red Gate Master's words are self-contradictory!" Zheng Xiangtai answered coldly, "Since you think that my senior brothers were killed by the living corpses, naturally the most terrifying monsters in this tomb are the living corpses! But you also said that the living corpses could not survive for so long after being awakened, so who was Mrs. Lao dragged down from above? Could it be that the suspicion of the head of the Lao family was still right, Mrs. Lao was actually pushed down from above by a boy surnamed Bai?"

Zheng Xiangtai was angry about Bai Yang's blocking of his hand before and preventing him from taking the jade crown from the Red Gate Master's hand, so he took advantage of the problem at this moment.

Bai Yang couldn't bear it anymore, and sneered before the Red Gate Lord: "You people are entangled, I'm really fed up with you! I think you should leave this place immediately, and we will go the rest of the way by ourselves!"

"That's good!" Tie Niu immediately clapped his hands in agreement, "Especially the surname Zheng surnamed Lao surnamed Xu, these three crooked ones are the most annoying, hurry up and get them out, we can also concentrate on moving forward!"

As soon as the two sang and harmonized, the straightness of the surname Zheng surnamed Xu surnamed Lao changed one after another, Xu Xiang jumped up first and shouted: "Boy, are you openly arguing with us?"

"What's the matter?" Tie Niu smiled, "Deal with the three of you, you don't need my brother and Hongmen to take the initiative, I, Tie Niu, will directly throw you out one by one!"

The three of them looked at each other, and with a "swish" of Lao Zhufeng, he pulled out the big knife on his waist and shouted, "Boy, you might as well throw me out and try it first!"

Poplar watched coldly, and the Red Gate Lord also shook his head and stopped stopping it.

At this time, a long sound of "hula-bang" was suddenly heard, which was particularly sharp and long in this silent tomb.

"How can there be a sound? It can't be...... That apprentice of Master Zheng came down from above, right?" Sun Hao asked in surprise.

Zheng Xiangtai immediately turned around and ran towards the passage he had just entered.

But seeing a figure flickering, Poplar swept past several people and rushed out of the passage first.

The remaining eight people hurriedly passed through the passage that was not too long, and soon arrived at the entrance of the tomb that was set up as a gossip ancient array, and looked into the tomb, and couldn't help but secretly cry out one by one.

Previously, Tie Niu carried the lid of the sarcophagus in the tomb in front of him and threw it on the ground of this tomb, and the group relied on this sarcophagus lid to pad their feet, so that they could pass through the Bagua Ancient Array safely and smoothly.

But now, the gossip patterns on the ground are still distinct, and the ground is still full of sharp weapons such as iron thorn stone cones, but the sarcophagus cover alone is nowhere to be seen.

"What about the sarcophagus lid? How could such a heavy sarcophagus lid suddenly disappear?" Sun Hao, who was running in front, blurted out.

Zheng Xiangtai, who was running side by side with him, was speechless.

Li Da Li Er, who was behind him, looked left and right, and Li shouted: "What about Little Brother Bai? Just now he ran in front of us, why is the other person missing now?"

Several people immediately looked back and forth, seeing that Tie Niu and the Red Gate Lord were calm, Sun Hao couldn't help but ask, "Red Gate Master, what do you think...... What about Brother Bai?"

"Don't worry, he'll be fine!" The Red Door Master said lightly, and suddenly turned his face to look at Zheng Xiangtai, "Master Zheng thought that my words were contradictory before, but now Master Zheng should understand what I mean, right?"

"What do you mean?" Zheng Xiangtai's eyes narrowed.

"I mean, I don't dare to determine whether Master Zheng's brothers died at the hands of the living corpse, but I can be sure that the living corpse will not live for too long after being awakened, but there are more terrible things in this underground palace than the living corpse, and Mrs. Lao was dragged down from the crack in the ground from above by this even more terrible thing!"

Several inverted people looked at each other again, and Li Da asked again: "But...... What about Little Brother Bai? Why don't the Lord of the Red Gate and Little Brother Tie seem to be completely worried about Little Brother Bai? Aren't you afraid of that terrible thing that suddenly abducted Little Brother Bai silently?"

The Red Gate Lord smiled faintly, and the Iron Bull laughed out loud.

"No matter how terrible it is, it is impossible to take my brother away silently! I tell you, it must have been my brother who found the trail of that thing and followed after him!"
