Volume 3 Snow Mountain Ice Palace Chapter 226 Soul Bell

Bai Yang had seen Chu Mingyu's ability to whip softly, so he didn't say more, but took the lead in stepping into the palace gate.

Li Jianjun and the Red Gate Master followed closely and walked forward more than three meters, but no spears or other sharp weapons were shot at the three of them.

"Let's go in too!" said Iron Bull.

Hong Xing nodded, and said to Chu Mingyu again: "Miss Chu, be careful!"

Chu Mingyu nodded, and the two girls walked in front, followed by Iron Bull Jack, and cautiously stepped into the palace.

Soon, Chu Mingyu stood in front of a maid, looked at the maid carefully, and couldn't help but say, "This doesn't look like a sculpture, it looks like a real person!"

As she spoke, she mustered up her courage and reached out and pressed it on the girl's cheek, but she was so frightened that she quickly withdrew her hand and exclaimed, "It's really exactly the same as a person, what's the matter?"

Jack was beside her, but it was the first time Jack had entered the tomb, and he was naturally terrified and unable to answer.

However, Hongxing and Tie Niu were watching another maid next to them, and when they heard Chu Mingyu ask, Hongxing said, "This really doesn't look like a sculpture, will it ...... Is this Wang Jiutang mastering what extremely clever corpse embalming technology, so that these dead people can remain incorruptible for thousands of years?"

"No...... Wouldn't it?" Jack finally choked back, "Modern medicine can't do it...... Let the corpse not decay for a thousand years, a thousand years ago, how could it be?"

"There's nothing impossible, right? There are a lot of things in the tomb that can't be made with modern technology!" Tie Niu replied.

Chu Mingyu felt that Tie Niu had some truth in what he said, and couldn't help but lean closer to the maid to watch, but unexpectedly, at this time, the maid's eyes suddenly opened, and her eyes reflected the pillar of light that was approaching, exuding an extremely terrifying light.

Chu Mingyu exclaimed in shock, and fell directly backwards, although Jack hugged her, he was also so frightened that he trembled all over his body.

"What's wrong?"

The iron bull red apricot next to him immediately ran over.

"That...... That one...... Open your eyes!" Chu Mingyu's upper and lower teeth were fighting.

Tie Niu Hongxing immediately looked back.

No, the maid they saw had her eyes closed.

"She really opened her eyes, I really saw it, isn't it Jack?" Chu Mingyu asked back.

Jack couldn't speak, just nodded.

Bai Yang quickly walked over to this side and said, "Miss Chu also saw this dead man open his eyes?"

"Yes, it's scary!" Chu Mingyu couldn't help crying, and quickly held back.

The Red Gate Lord and Li Jianjun also walked over to this side.

Poplar looked in all directions and said, "There must be something strange about these dead people, I think we can either withdraw or move on!"

"Is there a passage ahead?" asked Hongxing.

"There are two gates in front of me, but I don't know if I can open them directly from this side!" Mr. Li said.

"Then let's move on!" said Iron Bull.

"What about Miss Chu, maybe there are even more terrifying things in there, why don't you and Jack exit first?" Bai Yang looked at Chu Mingyu.

Chu Mingyu hurriedly sniffed and wiped his face, and said, "No, I want to go with you!" I'm quite scared, but which of you didn't get scared like me when you first entered the tomb? Not to mention that I'm a woman, even if I shed a few tears, it's a normal thing!"

In fact, Bai Yang was not worried about letting Chu Mingyu and Jack retreat, and when she saw her words at this point, she could only nod her head and said, "Since this is the case, then you should follow closely! Brother Li, I will fight with the Red Door Lord, please break off with Lao Hei!"

"Good!"

Li Jianjun immediately agreed, and retreated to the back with Tie Niu, letting Hongxing, Chu Mingyu, and Jack walk in the middle.

The palace was wide, but it was only more than a hundred square meters, and a few people quickened their pace and walked past the four dead men who were sitting at the wine table.

There were indeed two gates in front of me, and they were not stone but wooden doors, and the doors were equipped with latches, at least on the surface, they should be able to open from this side.

Seeing that it was not far from the two wooden doors, he heard an exclamation from the iron bull behind him, followed by two "bangs".

Bai Yang hurriedly looked back and saw two spears, which were respectively dialed to the ground by Tie Niu and Li Jianjun.

Hong Xing immediately raised her hand, pointed at the eight guards on the right side of the corner, and shouted, "Look, that guard has a gun in his hand!"

"This guard also has a gun in his hand!" Chu Mingyu shouted, but pointed to the eight guards on the left.

Bai Yang looked left and right, seeing that the guards were still motionless with their eyes closed, so he could only ignore them and just said, "Everyone be careful!"

As he spoke, he had grabbed the back of the two wooden doors with the owner of the red door, and carefully observed the two wooden doors up and down, left and right.

Tie Niu and the others followed closely behind, but they didn't bother to look at the wooden door. Tie Niu and Li Jianjun simply turned around and closely monitored the movements behind them. Red Apricot Chu Mingyu and Jack looked at both sides with concern.

After a while, Chu Mingyu couldn't help but ask, "What the hell is going on?"

Poplar ignored her, and only turned around and asked the Red Door Master: "I think if there is a mechanism, it should be in the gap between this wooden latch and the wooden door, what do you think of the Red Gate Master?"

"I agree with you!" said the Red Door Master.

Poplar couldn't help frowning, and said, "But that requires a very thin, but not too sharp piece of iron or copper to make a tool, where are we going to get this kind of tool in our hands now?"

"I've got this tool with me!" said the Red Door Master, pulling out a yellow, orange and orange object from his body.

That thing was already very thin, but I didn't expect the Red Gate Master to rub it with his hand, and the thin slice was actually divided into two, and it was as thin as paper.

"This piece is for you, how about the two of us dismantle this mechanism together?" said the Red Door Master, handing one of the slices to Poplar.

Bai Yang was overjoyed and said: "Fortunately, there is the Lord of the Red Gate, otherwise it would be really difficult for us to move an inch!"

As he spoke, he hurriedly reached out and took the thin copper sheet.

The two approached the two wooden doors at the same time, one left and one right, carefully pushed the thin copper sheet into the gap between the door latch and the door panel, and then gently moved along the door latch to the other side.

Poplar was the first to blush, and said, "There is indeed a soft silk thread connected to it, if we move the latch, it will definitely activate the mechanism!"

The red door master was silent, and used the thin copper piece in her hand to move back and forth between the door latch and the door panel for a long time, and then shook her head and said, "I don't have any silk threads here!"

"Then let's take this silk thread as the center, slowly turn the latch so that the two doors can be opened, and then think of a way to fix this latch so that it will not pull the silk thread inside, then this mechanism will be broken, right?" asked Poplar.

"Yes!"

The Red Door Lord nodded, walked over to catch the thin piece of copper in Bai Yang's hand, and tried the hardness of the silk thread inside, but he couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.

"The silk thread inside is thin and soft, and we can't see the silk thread from the outside, so it's even more difficult to turn the latch without pulling the thread!"

"It's difficult, but it's not impossible, why don't I try it, Lord Red Gate!"

The Lord of the Red Gate thought that in the house in front of him full of black balls, he could still wield his long sword without touching the little black balls, and his movements were so light and soft that it could be said that there were few people at that time.

So the Red Gate Lord nodded and said, "Do you want me to do anything?"

"If the Lord of the Red Gate has a marker pen or something on him, please take it out and use it for me!" said Poplar.

The Red Door Master quickly wiped a piece of red chalk from his body and handed it to Poplar. Bai Yang held the thin copper sheet in one hand and gently flicked the silk thread inside to determine the specific direction of the silk thread.

Then use the chalk head to make a mark on the outside of the latch, then take a breath, hold the latch from the place where the mark was made with one hand, stretch out the other end of the latch with the other hand, close your eyes and feel the subtle pulling force of the silk thread inside the latch, and gently lift the end of the latch up from the latch.

Unexpectedly, he had just lifted up three or five centimeters, and suddenly heard a bell ringing in his ears.

Frightened, Poplar's hand loosened, and the latch fell back into the latch.

But the bell didn't stop, and I don't know where it came from.

And the bell was very strange, it was not too loud, but it was very uncomfortable to listen to the ears, as if the eardrum was about to be penetrated by the sound.

"This bell is so ugly, what's going on?" Chu Mingyu called out in a low voice, and couldn't help but get closer to Jack.

It was also the first time for Jack to encounter such a thing, and he couldn't help but grasp the crowbar with both hands, and his white face turned blue from nervousness.

"Looks like I've touched the trap anyway!" said Poplar, frustrated.

"I think there are two traps on this door! one of them is the silk thread you found, and the other is that as soon as you turn the latch, this bell rings!" said the Red Door Master.

"But what is the use of this bell?" asked Poplar.

The master of the red door was about to answer, but Li Jianjun suddenly exclaimed.

"Look, the four sitting dead men are standing up!"

Several people immediately turned their heads to look, and sure enough, the four gorgeously dressed dead people sitting at a wine table in front of them were slowly standing up.

And not only these four people, but also the maids and the sixteen guards who were standing against the corners of the walls on both sides also began to stretch their arms and feet, and turned to face where they were standing.

It was the dead men who had turned blue, but now the dead people were still blue, but their eyes were all open, reflecting the lights above the heads of several people, scattering a strange green light.

"How so? Why is this happening? This is ...... Zombies? ...... in the world Are there really zombies?" exclaimed Jack.

"This is not a zombie!" the Red Door Lord said coldly, "This should be the legendary dead and alive!"

"Is that different from the living dead?" asked Hongxing.

"There is a big difference! The fighting power of the living dead is very weak, but the dead and alive can be as flexible and agile as real humans! The bell just now should be the soul bell, and it is said that as long as the soul bell rings, the dead and alive who have been silent will be resurrected and will kill all the living creatures in the vicinity! This was originally just a legendary monster, but I didn't expect that there would be so many people in this Wang Jiutang tomb, and I didn't expect that so many dead and alive people could be kept in the tomb for thousands of years without corruption! Legend has it that Wang Jiutang is proficient in metaphysics, and it is true!"

After the Red Gate Lord finished speaking in one breath, the others watched those dead and alive people who walked exactly like humans, slowly approaching a few of them, and couldn't help but feel cold all over their bodies.

Just hear the "creak" sound, which is the upper and lower teeth of Jack who has encountered this for the first time.
