Chapter 47: Recruiting Yin Soldiers

The ghost-faced spiders in the tomb have receded, and our biggest threat is gone, and everyone is completely relieved.

If it weren't for these two dragon drums, it's hard to say whether the three of us are alive or not now.

However, at present, another problem is in front of us, how to open the bronze door in front of us, which weighs thousands of pounds.

The three of us had already carefully inspected the tomb in this vicinity before, and there were no hidden mechanisms, even the relief patterns on the bronze door I had carefully looked at, and I also found nothing.

Eventually, I once again set my eyes on the two dragon drums in front of the bronze door.

If there is anything particularly eye-catching in this tomb, it must be these two dragon drums.

According to common sense, such a rare treasure should have been placed in the main burial chamber as a guard tomb. But at this time, these two dragon drums seem to be discarded in front of this bronze door, and there must be demons when things go wrong, which has to make people suspicious.

I told Li Huiyan and Xiao Yue what I was thinking, and asked them to help check if there was anything special about these two dragon drums.

When the two girls heard this, they didn't say much. Anyway, I can't find any clues anywhere else, and if I'm idle, I'm idle, so it's better to check it by the way, even if it's a dead horse as a live horse.

Immediately, the three of us began to examine the two dragon drums separately. I am in charge of the left side, and Li Huiyan and Xiao Yue are in charge of the right side.

The bronze drum in front of me was the one I had struck with the drumsticks earlier, and the patina on it had been shaken off a lot, and it was all over the ground.

I first took a closer look at the dragon drum ornament, which was carved with a dragon-shaped main motif and many small patterns that symbolized auspiciousness in ancient times, such as auspicious clouds and cranes.

There was nothing particularly noteworthy about the patterns, and after a few glances, I stopped looking at them and turned my attention instead to the huge pedestal where the dragon drum was placed.

The base on which the drum is placed is also made of bronze, which looks very thick and bulky.

The appearance of the bronze base was made into the appearance of a divine beast with a bull's head, a single horn, monkey ears, a lion body, a dragon's tail, and a unicorn foot.

After I took a few more glances at this mythical beast pattern, I suddenly felt that it was a little familiar, as if I had seen it somewhere.

This makes me a little curious, I haven't been interested in these things at all since I was a child, and if I have seen it, I must have seen it from some mythological TV series.

I kept recalling it in my head, and finally I remembered what kind of mythical beast it was, but it was just a little similar to the mount of the Jizo King Bodhisattva in myths and legends.

It's just that what I can't figure out is that Di Ting only existed after the Tang Dynasty, and this is a tomb of a general of the Qin Dynasty.

It must have been a coincidence, I thought to myself. After all, the ancients created these divine beasts many times according to their own preferences, and it is not strange to have such similar coincidences.

In ancient times, except for the five-clawed golden dragon symbolizing the emperor, and indiscriminate carving would lead to death, there were no other divine beasts.

I don't think much about it anymore, the first task now is to find out if there is a mechanism on this dragon drum to open the bronze door, and other things can only be put aside for the time being, even if I am interested.

After a few moments, I looked up and down the dragon drum in front of me four or five times, and finally looked away in disappointment.

After standing up, I saw that Li Huiyan and Xiao Yue were already standing behind me, and they didn't speak for fear of disturbing me.

"How's it going, have you gained anything?" Although I already had some guesses about the outcome, I asked with a glimmer of hope.

"No, Xiao Yuezai and I have carefully observed, and there is no mechanism on that drum." Hearing this, Li Huiyan shook her head and said.

"It's the same on my side." I also said with a sigh.

If there is no mechanism on these two dragon drums, then where is the mechanism to open the bronze door? There's no way this bronze door won't open at all, and if that's the case, we'll have to go back the way we came.

But when I think of the ghost-faced spider in the tomb, my heart is a little weak, and if I run back now, it will not be sent to the door to find death.

Without the deterrent effect of the dragon drum, the three of us have no chance of winning against the ghost-faced spider.

Rather than that, I might as well die by this bronze door, at least I won't be wrapped in spider silk like a mummy, and my death won't be so ugly.

"By the way, Colonel Flower, can you tell which of these two drums is a yang drum and which is a yin drum?" I suddenly thought of what Li Huiyan said before, and the two dragon drums are divided into yin and yang, and I couldn't help asking.

"This ...... I don't know, what do you ask this for? Li Huiyan shook her head and said.

"Just ask, I'm a little curious, you just said that beating these two drums can summon heavenly soldiers and yin soldiers, but it doesn't seem to have that effect when I hit that drum just now." I said again.

For some reason, I had a strange instinct that these two dragon drums weren't placed in this place for no reason, and that they had something to do with how the bronze door was opened.

"Rice cake, you are stupid, how can this kind of thing be taken seriously, you are not a three-year-old child. If this broken drum really recruits the Yin soldiers, it won't scare you to death. Xiao Yue rolled her eyes at me and said.

"I'm not afraid of the Yin soldiers, in case those summoned Yin soldiers are good people, maybe they can help us push this bronze door open...... This. Of course, I was unwilling to be despised by Xiao Yue, and said disapprovingly.

At the end of the day, my tongue suddenly became a little knotted, and a bold thought came to my mind.

Li Huiyan and Xiao Yue both noticed that my expression was a little strange at the same time, and it was like two people just now, thinking that I had encountered something, and hurriedly stepped forward to ask.

"I was thinking, this is a tomb, and it can be regarded as the place where the yin energy is most abundant in the world. If the sound of the yin drum can really summon the yin soldiers, then if we beat it, will it attract many yin soldiers in the tomb? I hesitated for a moment and spoke my mind.

The words that I had unintentionally said before gave me a crazy and bold thought, if I could really use the power of the Yin Soldier to open the bronze door in front of me, wouldn't it be just right.

"Zhang Sansan, I didn't understand, what do you want to say?" Li Huiyan, who is usually delicate, couldn't guess my thoughts, and asked with a puzzled face.

"Let's put it this way, I just want to try to use that Yin drum to recruit Yin soldiers, and then use the power of Yin soldiers to open this bronze door." I said, I don't care if Li Huiyan and Xiao Yue will be scorched by my bold idea.

"Rice cake, are you crazy? Do you dare to think of such a thing? Xiao Yue looked at me with a stupid expression and said.

"This ...... Zhang Sansan, to be honest, I can't accept your idea a little bit. Li Huiyan followed up and said.

"Okay." Seeing that both of them thought I was crazy, I couldn't help but be a little discouraged, but I still said: "But I think whether there is a chance or not, we have to give it a try, anyway, we can't think of any other way to stay here now." ”

"Well, that's true, but how can we tell which drum is the yin drum?" Li Huiyan said again.

I wanted to cry without tears, which was obviously the question I had just asked her, but now she brought it to me.

"Why do you want to distinguish which side is the yin drum and which side is the yang drum? That's so troublesome, we have to hit every drum dozens of times. Xiao Yue interjected on the side.

Hearing this, I gave Xiao Yue a thumbs up in my heart and secretly scolded myself for being stupid.

Isn't it just as Xiao Yue said, there are only two drums here, and we will not be wrong if we take turns to hit each drum dozens of times.

Xiao Yue, this guy really has a different cranial nerve route from others, if it weren't for the fear of being beaten up, I really wanted to run up and kiss her fiercely.

"Okay, leave this kind of hard-working work to me, a big man, you girls cover your ears and stand aside." I took a deep breath, picked up the bronze drumstick again, and then said to Li Huiyan and Xiao Yue.

Having learned from the experience of almost being shocked by the dragon's roar just now, I decisively removed two strips of rag from my clothes this time, preparing to tightly plug my ears.

"This kind of thing is supposed to be done by you, is it possible to let us two weak women who are powerless to do it." Xiao Yue pouted on the side and said, "But for the sake of you being so active, after Aunt Ben decided to go out from here, she will share half of the snacks in my suitcase." ”

"Then you pay attention, if you are too tired, just replace me." Li Huiyan whispered.

You listen, this is the gap, it's just a day and a place.

I wasted no more time, raised the drumstick in my hand and struck it against the dragon drum in front of me.

This time I didn't leave anything unturned, and every time I struck, I held the drumsticks with both hands, using as much force as I could.

Even though my ears were plugged up, I still underestimated the power of the dragon drum, and the sound of the dragon moaning with all my strength almost cracked my eardrums through the rags.

After fifteen or sixteen knocks in succession, my arm was already a little weak, and my wrist was also shaken to a little pain, so I stopped.

I can't help but admire the drum soldiers on the battlefield in ancient times, this kind of strength is not something ordinary people can do at all.

At this point, all three of us were a little nervous.

If the things recorded in the wild history are fictional, then it means that everything I have just done is in vain, and it has also cut off our hope of finally opening the bronze door.

After almost three minutes, the tomb was still quiet, where there were any yin and yang soldiers.

"Could it be a mistake? Could this side be a yang drum, and the other side a yin drum? Li Huiyan was the first to speak.

"Alright then, I'll try to beat the other drum." Hearing this, I nodded and said.

Before I finish beating the two drums, I still can't give up easily, maybe it's really as Li Huiyan said, in fact, I didn't beat the drum that is the yin drum.

I walked to the other side of the dragon drum, nodded and motioned for Li Huiyan and Xiao Yue to cover their ears again, then took a deep breath and knocked it down again.

The sound of the bronze drum on this side was obviously different from the other, and the dragon's groan was very low, and even if I tried my best, it didn't feel harsh.

One after another, since I had only knocked once before, I only knocked ten times before and then stopped, and I could no longer exert my strength.

Seeing this, Li Huiyan immediately stepped forward, snatched the drumstick from my hand without saying a word, and began to beat it.

Instead of walking away, I walked around behind her and reached out to cover her ears to prevent her from being jawed by the sound of the dragon drum.
