Volume 3 Snow Mountain Ice Palace Chapter 277 Stone Box Vault
Bai Yang, Ding Lingling, and Chu Mingyu all felt a bone-eating chill flowing through their bodies, and even Chu Mingyu didn't dare to make a sound, but nervously turned his head to look left and right, and then raised his head to look at the upper part of the ice palace that was blurred in light.
"That...... Snow goddess, why is it gone? Will it be ...... Went to the upper floor of the Ice Palace?" After a long time, Chu Mingyu stammered and asked.
Bai Yang and Ding Lingling couldn't answer.
Chen Xiaopang stood at the door of the right side hall, seeing the faces of the three of them change greatly, he couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?"
Bai Yang took a breath and said to Ding Lingling and Chu Mingyu: "Let's go to the right side hall and join everyone first!"
The two girls hurriedly nodded and followed him back into the right side hall.
"What the hell is going on?" asked Chen Xiaopang again.
"That...... Snow Goddess, suddenly gone!" Chu Mingyu replied with a trembling voice.
"Ah", including Tie Niu, was taken aback.
"What's going on, how can I not see it?" asked Chen Xiaopang.
"I don't know!" Poplar shook his head with a wry smile, "The coffin is empty, I don't know...... How did that snow goddess get out, and where is she now?"
Tie Niu Chen Xiaopang looked at each other and was speechless.
Senior Sister Yu took a breath to calm down, and stretched out her hand to the big boxy stone at the end of the stone bed: "Look at this stone, look at the pattern and font on it, it is not a stone, but a big stone box!"
The stone was gray in color, evenly interspersed with dark spots, and looked like it had been cut from granite.
In this crystal clear ice palace, such a big stone is placed, which is really very abrupt.
But before, everyone's thoughts were on Hongxing, and they didn't look at this stone carefully, and when they heard what Senior Sister Yu said, several people hurriedly came to watch.
I saw that the surface of the big stone was carved with patterns, which were nothing more than some flowers, birds, fish, insects, Ruiqi auspicious clouds, and the like.
"Look at the vertical side below, there are words engraved on the top, and there is also a keyhole!" said Senior Sister Yu.
Several people immediately squatted down, and sure enough, on the vertical plane facing the direction of the main hall, the surrounding area was also engraved with patterns, but the middle part was engraved with seal characters.
In addition, in the middle of the top of the vertical plane, there is indeed a small flat hole, which looks like a key hole.
Bai Yang can now roughly understand the characters of Liti and Seal Style, and is chewing slowly in his heart, Tie Niu put the red apricot back on the stone bed of white marble, and asked, "What do these words mean?"
"This is indeed a stone box, and it was made by Wang Jiutang!" Ding Lingling replied, "These words should also be left by Wang Jiutang, which roughly means that he built an ice palace for the Snow Goddess, and the Snow Goddess gave him two elixirs, and lived to be more than two hundred and fifty years old, and his body functions gradually decayed, and he often fell into a long sleep without waking up." had no choice but to return to the Ice Palace and begged the Snow Goddess to give him another magic medicine, but the Snow Goddess refused. The Snow Goddess promised that after Wang Jiutang's death, she would let the Ice Palace guards often patrol his cemetery, but asked Wang Jiutang to design and manufacture a box for her that no one but her could open or destroy. ”
After Ding Lingling finished speaking, Tie Niu exclaimed: "No wonder the boulder of more than 1,000 kilograms in front of Wang Jiutang's tomb was obviously moved away by us, but then it was moved back again inexplicably, and there was a big footprint left nearby! It seems that it was the single-hook warrior who took the snowman to inspect the Wang Jiutang cemetery, and when he saw that the boulder was removed, he asked the snowman to move the boulder back to its original position!"
"It must be so!" Poplar nodded, looking at the stone box carefully, "There is not even a crack in this stone box, which shows how closely the lid and the box fit together!"
"Then you say, why did the Snow Goddess ask Wang Jiutang to make such a big stone box? This Ice Palace is so secretive, what other precious items does she have to hide for fear of being seen?" Senior Sister Yu asked.
"There must be immortal medicine and immortal medicine list hidden in this stone box!" Chu Mingyu blurted out, glanced at the others, and smiled wryly, "Only the immortal medicine and the immortal medicine list are worthy of being so treasured and hidden by the Snow Goddess, right?"
Bai Yang and Chen Xiaopang were reluctant to answer.
But Ding Lingling was familiar with Chu Mingyu and didn't want her to be too embarrassed, so she nodded and said, "Yes, only the immortal medicine and the immortal medicine list can make the Snow Goddess so treasured and collected!" I guess...... She didn't trust the guards around her, for fear that while she was sleeping and recuperating, the guards would steal the elixir and leave, so she made such a large stone box, as long as the stone box key was brought into the crystal coffin, her guards would not be able to open the stone box even if they were greedy. ”
Bai Yang actually had the same idea as Ding Lingling in his heart, but he still pushed the stone box.
According to the surface volume of the stone box, it weighs hundreds of catties at most, and with the strength of Poplar at the moment, it could have been easily pushed.
But no, Poplar tried his best, and the stone box didn't move at all.
Bai Yang felt strange in his heart, carefully inspected the bottom of the stone box, and suddenly found that the stone box was the same as the crystal coffin outside, and the bottom directly fit into the marble floor.
In other words, it is impossible to estimate the weight of this stone box from the surface alone.
"It seems that what Lingling said is right, we don't have a key, and we can't open this stone box, and we can't move it at all!" Bai Yang said, smiling bitterly and letting out a sigh.
"Then there must be an immortal medicine and an immortal medicine list hidden here, we must find a way to open the stone box!" Chu Mingyu said again.
No one picked her up.
Senior Sister Yu looked at this, looked at that, and suddenly a question popped up: "What do you say...... Why are there four frozen samurai, and one more...... A living one-hook samurai?"
Ding Lingling glanced at Bai Yang, and Bai Yang knew that she had already figured it out, so she said, "Lingling, can you explain?"
Ding Lingling nodded and said, "We are now very clear that immortal pills can't really make people immortal, every two immortal pills...... Or to be more precise, the first two immortal pills can make people live to be more than 200 years old. However, after more than 200 years old, they will often fall into a long sleep to regulate their biological functions, and at this time, they must supplement and take immortal medicine, otherwise their physiological functions will gradually fail until they die. ...... This point has been clearly stated from Wang Jiutang's account on this stone box. However, once a long period of sleep begins to occur, even if you supplement the immortal medicine, you will not be able to make people as awake and healthy as they were in the previous two hundred years, and you still need to sleep for a long time to recuperate. The immortal medicine is not something that can be configured casually, and the medicinal materials contained in it must be rare and rare, so the Snow Goddess refused to give Wang Jiutang more immortal medicine, and at the same time, the guards around her also had to be replaced every two hundred years. In this way, it can not only ensure that the medicinal properties of the immortal medicine are used to the fullest, but also freeze them in the dungeon as the ultimate guards of the dungeon. ”
Ding Lingling's words were so long that Chu Mingyu and Senior Sister Yu had to chew it to understand.
"So, when that single-hooked warrior starts to fall into a deep sleep, the Snow Goddess will freeze him too, and then find a new escort to enter the dungeon to accompany the guard?"
"It should be like this!" Ding Lingling nodded, "And I estimate that the single-hook warrior has lived for almost two hundred years, I'm afraid it won't be long before she will be frozen by the Snow Goddess and find another new person!"
"But...... What does it mean that the Snow Goddess has taken the red apricot captive?" Iron Bull asked irritably.
"It's not hard to explain!" Poplar replied, "After all, the red apricot looks exactly like the Snow Goddess, in other words, if you hear that there is a person who looks exactly like you, will you let someone bring that person to you?"
Tie Niu was stunned for a moment, and then nodded in agreement with Bai Yang's statement, but he quickly changed his mouth and asked, "Then what should we do now?" You said that the Snow Goddess is gone, how can we find her?"
"If we find her, we can't fight her, right?" Chu Mingyu said.
"If you can't fight, you have to fight, otherwise what will Hongxing do with the Red Gate Master?" Tie Niu immediately cut gold and cut iron.
"Yes, for the sake of Hongxing and Hongmen Master, even if we can't fight, we have to give it a try!"
Chen Xiaopang couldn't help but splash out a basin of cold water and said, "I'm afraid that as soon as we meet, the demon woman will freeze all of us, even if we want to fight with her, it's impossible!"
"Then as soon as I see her, I will shoot her twice, and then force her to solve the demon spell to save Hongxing and the Red Gate Master!"
Ding Lingling shook her head with a wry smile and said, "I'm afraid it won't work!"
"Why not?" Iron Bull immediately asked.
"First of all, with the Snow Goddess's ability, the chance of you being able to shoot her is already very small, and it is even more difficult for you to only shoot wounded and not killed! Secondly, this ice palace is completely made of ice, and it is not like in the ice crevasses before, the surrounding ice is all solid, it doesn't matter how many shots you shoot. Once you shoot, even if the gunshots don't collapse the entire ice palace, if the bullet hits some key part, it's hard to say!"
Her words were by no means alarmist, Bai Yang and Chen Xiaopang nodded again and again, and even Senior Sister Yu bowed her head slightly in approval.
"What are we going to do then, how can we defeat that damn snow goddess?" Iron Bull asked anxiously.
Ding Lingling sighed softly and said, "If the Snow Goddess can't freeze us all at once, I have a way to get the Snow Goddess to wake up Hongxing and the Red Gate Master, and honestly let us go, but ......"
She smiled wryly and didn't say any further, and Poplar was about to ask her what she could do, but she heard a sneer in her ears.
A voice as cold as ice said, "What can you do to get me to let you go honestly?"
Everyone was taken aback and turned back at the same time.
