Chapter 44: Calling the Dragon Drum

I don't know if it's because the little spider was just born and didn't have a lot of poison on its teeth, or if it didn't mean to bite me to death at all, so it didn't release venom when it bit me.

Anyway, although I have been bitten by it now, I don't have any discomfort in the rest of my body, except for some numbness in my fingers.

But even so, I became even more jealous of this little guy, and if I provoked it, I would not be able to take it seriously, and then I would be really sorry for my life.

After being bitten, I had to abandon my plan to throw the little one off his head, because saving my life was more important than the danger that would follow.

In the graveyard behind him, the ghost-faced spider was still chasing after the three of us, and it could be seen that it seemed to have run out of patience, and let out a sharp scream from its mouth, looking very manic.

Where the ghost-faced spider passed, there was a sound that made people feel a chill down their spines, obviously because there were many clear stone slabs in the tomb that had been damaged by it, and they were stretched out of shape by its sharp long legs.

However, more desperate things are yet to come.

Just when we didn't think about how to deal with the ghost-faced spider behind us, a bronze door suddenly appeared at the entrance of the tomb in front of us, and the three of us were completely in a desperate situation.

This bronze door is about two meters high, and it is not too big to say that it is small.

But now that we are separated from Liu Laoqi and them, if we only rely on the strength of the three of us, it is not possible to push open this thousand-pound bronze door, which is weighing thousands of pounds.

I took a quick look and saw that on both sides of this bronze door, there was a bronze drum with a diameter of about 1.5 meters.

The bronze drum looks very old, and the whole body looks rusty, and the patterns on it are not clear, and it is no longer the same as it used to be.

But even so, I noticed something unusual about these two bronze drums.

Less than half a minute after the three of us arrived at the Bronze Gate, the ghost-faced spider that followed us closely followed.

But what was extremely strange was that the ghost-faced spider did not attack us, but stopped about two feet away from the bronze gate, staring at the three of us with its eyes that shimmered with a red bloodthirsty light.

Vaguely, I also seemed to feel that the ghost-faced spider looked a little anxious, as if there was something near this bronze door that made it very afraid and jealous.

Not only was the ghost-faced spider that was following us unusual, but even the little one, who had been standing motionless above my head until the time, seemed a little unusual when we arrived at the Bronze Gate.

At this time, the little one seemed very restless on the top of my head, running around frantically without saying a word, and pulling my hair painfully.

I can't help but worry that if this little guy had been on my head for a few more days, I might have been incredibly smart.

"What's going on? The ghost-faced spider's behavior is a little abnormal, it could be that this bronze door or these two bronze drums have some effect on them. "Seeing the extremely abnormal realization of the two ghost-faced spiders, one big and one small, I couldn't help but look at Li Huiyan and said curiously.

"I don't know, but it's a good thing for us, and judging by the appearance of this ghost-faced spider, at least our lives won't be in danger for the time being." Li Huiyan shook her head, then breathed a long sigh of relief and said.

We still haven't figured out what exactly makes the Ghostface jealous, but since it doesn't dare approach the Bronze Door, we can have more time to figure out how to open it.

As long as we close the door when the time comes, we don't have to worry about the ghost-faced spider being any threat to us.

Even if the ghost-faced spider's long legs are so sharp that even the bluestone slabs in the tomb can make deep marks, it won't be so powerful that even the hard and thick bronze door can be opened.

Seeing that there was no danger for the time being, Li Huiyan and Xiao Yue and I tried to push the bronze door, but we gritted our teeth and tried our best, and in the end we couldn't push the bronze door half an inch.

"Bad luck, this door won't have to find a mechanism to open." I'm a little upset.

"I don't know, let's look for it together, if there is a mechanism, it should not be too far from this door." Li Huiyan heard what she said and replied.

Immediately, the three of us began to look for a mechanism around the bronze door.

I was still a little worried that the ghost-faced spider would have the courage to attack us, so I whispered a reminder to the two of them, telling them not to leave too far away from the bronze gate, and to look around first.

If you really can't find it, consider looking for it in a more peripheral place.

After a few moments, we all stopped moving, looked at each other, and all shook our heads.

Despite our careful search, we still couldn't find any mechanisms or anything like that near the bronze door.

A flash of inspiration flashed in my mind, and I suddenly remembered the huge stone door that Li Huiyan had opened in the crossbow mechanism passage before, and the mechanism she found at that time was above the stone gate.

With this in mind, I began to take a closer look at the bronze door in front of me.

This bronze door is not very big, much smaller than the stone door we encountered before. The only thing to be commended is that this bronze door has a beautiful and complete relief pattern.

At first, I was looking for someone to see if there was the same grimace pattern on this bronze door, after all, Li Huiyan opened the stone door before because of the grimace relief.

It's just that after searching the surface of the bronze door inch by inch, I didn't find the grimace pattern on the stone door.

Eventually, I focused my attention on this beautiful relief on the bronze door. After a little glance, I had a general idea of the contents of this relief on the bronze door.

The content of the relief is very consistent with the identity of the tomb owner, and the carving is a scene of two armies facing each other. Each of the two bronze doors is carved with an army, and it is easy to distinguish from the carved costumes to the horses and chariots.

I judged that the army carved on the bronze door on the left should be led by the owner of the tomb.

For in this relief, the figure on the left with the tall figure of the general riding a tall horse is the most obvious, and it is exactly the same as the image of the horse general I saw under the pool before.

Probably to show that the general was well-governed and wise, the army on the right was obviously carved out of character. The soldiers on the relief on the right are hunched over one by one, and the formation is scattered, giving people the feeling at first glance that they are about to lose the battle.

Of course, I'm skeptical about the credibility of these things.

After all, the owner of this tomb was the burly general in the army on the left, and the craftsmen who made the bronze door would not dare to carve the enemy too heroically and magnificently, even if they had ten guts.

On the relief, in addition to the fact that the general is still burly and particularly eye-catching, I also noticed something else.

Behind the general, on top of the two chariots, stood two large drums, each of which was struck by a soldier. It can be vaguely discerned that the formation of these soldiers seems to be protecting these two big drums.

When I saw these two drums, I was taken aback, aren't the two drums in the relief the two sides placed in front of the bronze door?

This unexpected discovery made me instantly pay some attention to these two drums in front of the bronze door.

It seems that these two drums are not just placed in front of the bronze door for decoration, but have other uses that we don't know yet.

When I turned around and was about to take a closer look at the two big drums in front of the bronze door, I realized that Li Huiyan had actually been observing for a long time.

And, looking at her appearance and expression, it seems that she has seen some clues.

"Did you find anything?" I walked up to Li Huiyan and asked softly.

Li Huiyan was attentive, and didn't seem to hear me speak, still observing back and forth around the two bronze drums.

"Well, have you found anything on the bronze door?" After a while, she looked up and asked me.

"No, but ...... There are these two drums on top of the bronze relief, and I guess they are not ordinary. Hearing this, I said honestly.

While saying this, I thought to myself, since Li Huiyan was so intently observing the two bronze drums just now, it was obvious that she had found something unusual on these two bronze drums.

Otherwise, with my understanding of Li Huiyan's character, she would definitely not make such a move.

"Well, you're right, these two bronze drums are indeed very big." Li Huiyan glanced at the bronze drum beside her and said with a somewhat serious expression.

Li Huiyan's words immediately aroused my curiosity, and I would like to know what it is.

If you talk about the most famous drum in ancient times, I am afraid it should be the drum used by the Yellow Emperor and Chiyou in the great war in myths and legends, which is made of the legendary Kui cowhide.

However, no one knows how credible this kind of mythical legend is, after all, the creature of Kui Niu has never been found anywhere, not even fossilized bones.

I didn't speak, silently waiting for what was to come.

"I have carefully observed it several times just now, from the remaining ornaments on the drum body to some broken handwriting, and it is speculated that these two drums are very similar to a very famous pair of war drums in the pre-Qin period." Li Huiyan paused for a moment, and then said:

The name of this pair of war drums is called the Dragon Drum, and legend has it that it is divided into one yin and one yang, and when the yang drum sounds, it can boost morale, make the soldiers tireless, and invincible. When the Yin drum sounds, you can summon the souls of the soldiers on both sides who died on the battlefield and let them form a Yin Soldier to kill the enemy. ”

I was a little dumbfounded, the yang drum in front of me sounded normal, and boosting morale was not the biggest effect of war drums.

But as soon as I heard that yin drum, I felt a little nonsense, even the yin soldiers could be summoned, which was a bit beyond the scope of ordinary people's cognition and understanding.

If these two drums really have such a terrifying and almost perverted effect, then who would dare to fight with the person who has these two war drums, and it is purely self-defeating.
