Volume 3 Snow Mountain Ice Palace Chapter 225 The Living Dead
I came all the way before, and the few rooms I encountered only had hidden weapons, no other furnishings, and the walls made of blue bricks around them were not whitewashed.
But this space is not only large, but also the surrounding walls are decorated with gold, and two lampposts are projected into it, faintly reflecting the seven-colored brilliance.
But this was not surprising to Poplar, who was surprised to see that there was a large table in the room, around which four people were seated.
These four people are gorgeously dressed and elegant, as if a few dignitaries are sitting around the table drinking and talking.
Several women surrounded the four of them, either holding wine jugs or standing with their heads bowed, all dressed in ancient clothes and combing their ancient hair in buns, as if they were the maids of the four people.
On either side of the wall, in the corners, there were eight guards. All of them carry a treasure knife at their waists, hold a spear, have a straight body, and have a mighty posture.
As for what they look like-
Poplar casts a pillar of light on his head onto the face of one of the maids.
The maid stood right towards the doorway, and it was not too far from the door, so that Poplar could clearly see that the maid's face was blue, and her eyes were closed, as if she had just been dead for two or three days, and had not yet begun to decay.
But this tomb has existed for at least a thousand years, how can it be that the people here are the same as those who have been dead for two or three days?
And this maid is obviously with her eyes closed, why can she stand upright?
"Lord of the Red Gate, look at these characters, they won't be ...... What sculpture?" asked Poplar. Because of the hairiness in my heart, my voice was naturally very low.
"If it's a sculpture, why do you want people's eyes to be closed?" asked the Red Door Master rhetorically.
Poplar could not answer, so he cast the lamppost on the girl's face again, and asked, "Do you think there is any ...... in this room?"
The words "other organs" had not yet been spoken, and suddenly, Bai Yang saw that the maid's eyes were closed and suddenly opened, and exuded a strange brilliance, and glared at Bai Yang.
Poplar exclaimed "ah", and he was so frightened that he involuntarily took a few steps back.
The Red Door Lord was scanning other directions with the pillar of light, and when he heard the poplar suddenly exclaim, the Red Gate Lord was also startled, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?"
"That's that...... That maid has just opened her eyes!" said Poplar, and even her voice trembled slightly because she was extremely nervous.
But he was so frightened that he took a few steps back, and the pillar of light on his head naturally moved away from the girl's face. With an "ah" from the Red Door Lord, he immediately projected a pillar of light on the face of the maid that Bai Yang had just seen.
The maid's eyes were closed, just as they had been before.
"I just ...... Indeed, I saw that the maid's eyes were opened, and ...... Stare at me!" said Poplar. The strange brilliance in the maid's eyes still chilled his body.
Before the Red Gate Lord could answer, Tie Niu and the others approached, and Chu Mingyu preemptively said, "What kind of maid is opening her eyes, is there any strange mechanism in front of you?"
Poplar heard the sneer in her tone, and knew that she was still very dissatisfied with herself.
However, Poplar didn't bother with this for now, just took a deep breath and projected the lamppost in other directions.
Tie Niu and the others also crowded at the door, and several pillars of light were projected into it, illuminating the door very brightly.
"Wow, this is just like a palace! Let's come into this big tomb, only here is still the same!" Chu Mingyu said.
Li Jianjun said: "These characters ...... Is it a statue? How do you look at it...... Like a real person?"
"How can it be a real person? This tomb is at least more than a thousand years old, right? If it was a real person, it would have rotted to the point that only the skeleton remained!" Chu Mingyu said.
As she spoke, she wanted to step inside and see what was going on.
Hongxing hurriedly grabbed her and said, "There is a mechanism in my heart!"
Chu Mingyu stopped and smiled reluctantly: "There won't be so many mechanisms, right?"
None of the others answered, and all of them cast their eyes on the Red Door Master.
The Red Gate Master didn't answer, but only glanced at Bai Yang and said, "Didn't Old Mr. Ouyang leave a copy of the secret technique of the mechanism for the two of you? If you have studied it carefully, then your understanding of the mechanism should be above mine! So...... Brother Bai thinks, is there any mechanism in this big house?"
Poplar immediately understood that the Red Gate Master was not deliberately embarrassed, but was giving him the opportunity to exercise.
I couldn't help but be secretly grateful, and I hurriedly let go of the open-eyed maid and stopped thinking about it, but carefully observed the whole room, and then squatted down and knocked hard with the black sword on the floor tiles under my feet.
The floor tiles are all made of marble, which looks unusually smooth and luxurious.
"There shouldn't be any mechanism in this room, at least not one that would cause a large area of fire, or a large area of strong acid rain!" said Poplar, standing up, "but I always feel that this room is extremely dangerous, and these dangers come from these characters!"
He gestured to a maid with her back to the door, but closest to it.
The master of the Red Gate was about to answer, but Chu Mingyu opened his mouth and smiled: "How dangerous can these characters be, they won't come back to life, right?" Jack, let's walk ahead this time!"
Jack immediately agreed, but Poplar reached out again.
"I see that the two of you are still walking behind, and I and the Red Gate Lord will go in first to explore!"
"I'll go in with the two of you! Don't worry, I've also been in several tombs, and I know a little bit about the mechanism settings!" Li Jianjun said, raising the weapon he was holding in his hand.
The weapon was very strange, with a long handle of fifty or sixty centimeters at the bottom, and three sharp barbs at the top.
It looks like an anchor, but it's certainly not as clumsy as an anchor, but rather dexterous and maneuverable.
In Poplar's opinion, this weapon must have a variety of functions, such as encountering a steep cliff, it can be used as a hook.
Therefore, according to Baiyang's idea, if it wasn't Li Jianjun's ancestors who had also fought upside down, that is, after joining the tomb search team, Li Jianjun specially trained such a weapon similar to an inverted fighting tool.
Bai Yang once saw Li Jianjun's martial arts, and at that time, he only used a belt, which made it difficult for several big men to get close.
What's more, Li Jianjun is the leader of the other grave search team after all, if he always lets him walk behind, it will be like despising him.
So Poplar nodded and said, "Then let's be careful!"
The three of them were about to step in, but Chu Mingyu suddenly flashed, squeezed past Bai Yang, and rushed to the stone gate.
"I'm here to experience some thrilling legends, and if you keep me waiting, then I might as well not come!" Chu Mingyu said, raising his eyebrows and smiling at Bai Yang.
Suddenly, a black shadow flashed, and a sharp weapon shot towards Chu Mingyu.
Bai Yang was taken aback, it was too late to drag Chu Mingyu at this moment, so he could only sweep his leg towards Chu Mingyu's ankle.
How could Chu Mingyu withstand his sweep, and suddenly his whole body fell to the ground on his side.
Bai Yang pounced forward, fell down at the same time as Chu Mingyu, and stretched out one hand to hold Chu Mingyu in his arms, preventing him from falling to the ground and falling too hard.
There was a "choking" sound, and something flew over the overturned bodies of the two and landed on the top of their heads.
But because the ground was hard marble, it could not penetrate it, so it could only slide away along the ground.
In the exclamations of everyone, Bai Yang didn't dare to get up, but rolled out of the door with Chu Mingyu in his arms, and was pulled up by everyone.
Chu Mingyu grew up in the open United States, so naturally it would not be the first time she was hugged by a man, but just now Poplar rolled smoothly around her, but it also made her feel a little strange in her heart. After being pulled up by the crowd, she blushed and lowered her eyes without saying a word, only holding Jack with her hand, leaning over and kneading the ankle that was kicked by the poplar.
"Didn't Lao Bai say that there was no mechanism, why is it still so scary?" Hong Xing exclaimed.
"Lao Bai is just sure that there will be no such mechanism that will cause a large area of fire, or a large area of strong acid rain, but he didn't say that there is no mechanism at all!" said Tie Niu.
Poplar was actually quite frustrated, because he really didn't see that there was another mechanism in the house, and it was in the doorway.
Hearing Tie Niu defend him, Bai Yang was about to speak, but the Red Door Lord dodged in, quickly picked up the sharp weapon that had just shot at Chu Mingyu from the ground, and then quickly retreated.
The speed of this advance and retreat was extremely fast, and everyone didn't even let out an exclamation, and the Red Gate Lord had already stood back in his original position.
Bai Yang had seen the Red Gate Master perform his kung fu with his own eyes, but Li Jianjun and Chu Mingyu didn't expect this female door master to have such a skill.
Especially Chu Mingyu, because the poplars didn't let them enter the white mist before, Chu Mingyu was depressed, and when she thought that the master of the Red Gate was also a woman, why couldn't she Chu Mingyu go in?
Only then did she know that with the little effort on her body, she was indeed far worse than the Red Gate Master.
Even Jack, who thinks he is agile and few people can match, can't help but be dumbfounded.
Looking at what the Red Door Master was holding in his hand, it was suddenly a spear with a sharp head, if this shot was shot at Chu Mingyu just now, Chu Mingyu would probably be seriously injured if he didn't die.
"This Wang Jiutang is too strange, isn't it?
"I'm afraid this isn't an ordinary mechanism!" the Red Door Lord shook his head, casting a pillar of light on his head at the eight guards standing against the wall on the left.
Just now, this spear was shot at Chu Mingyu from the left side, and everyone naturally projected the pillar of light on their heads in that direction.
"The other guards all have spears in their hands, only the second guard has an empty hand!" Li Jianjun called out first.
He was right, seven of the eight guards standing against the wall on the left were holding spears with swords at their waists, but the second guard, who counted from the direction of the doorway, had no spears in his hands.
But the guard also had his eyes closed, and his cheeks were just as blue as the skin of a dead man who had just been dead for two or three days.
"You don't mean to say, this...... I don't know if it was a dead man or a sculpture, and a shot was thrown at me?" Chu Mingyu exclaimed.
No one could answer her, in fact, everyone's hearts were full of weirdness and surprise at this moment.
"It's better for me and Brother Li of the Red Gate to go in first, if you want to come in with you, you must be cautious!" Bai Yang said, looking back, he saw Tie Niu and Jack each holding a crowbar, and Hong Xing holding a shovel in his hand, but Chu Mingyu's hand was empty.
Fang was about to ask, Chu Mingyu had already shaken out a soft leather whip from his waist, and the length of the whip handle alone was already more than fifty centimeters.
