3. Spirits
The python seemed to understand Gao Xuan's words and nodded, but it didn't matter.
Entering the stone gate, that is, to the main burial chamber, Gao Xuan looked around.
There is a coffin in the middle of the tomb on the ground, but it is stone, and it looks much larger than the usual coffin, and it is gloomy in this twenty or thirty square tomb. The surrounding stone walls are carved with various animal patterns, all of which are lifelike.
In front of the coffin was a stone table, on which were placed two copper lotus lanterns, but the flames were still jumping suddenly, and there was a very exquisite box on the stone table, about 20 centimeters wide and 30 centimeters long.
There was a stone slab shaped like a futon in front of the stone table, Gao Xuan saw this, and thought: This is in the tomb, how to worship!
Gao Xuan was about to reach for the box, but was entangled in his wrist by the tail of the big brother python.
Gao Xuan was stunned for a moment, looked at Big Brother Python, and didn't dare to move anymore.
The python quickly lay down on the stone slab, kowtowed three times to the coffin, and then got off the stone slab.
Seeing that Gao Xuan didn't move for a long time, the python wrapped his feet around him and dragged him naked to the stone slab.
Gao Xuan knew that it was Brother Python who asked him to kneel down, although he was extremely reluctant, but he didn't dare to disobey Brother Python, so he had to kneel down and kowtow three times.
As soon as the third head fell, there was a clatter, and the box on the stone table opened automatically.
Gao Xuan was shocked, thinking that there was such a mechanism, there were many things along the way, and Brother Python seemed to be all expected, it was really a python! It's a pity that he couldn't talk to himself.
There was a jade wat board in the box, and there seemed to be some words on it, Gao Xuan picked it up and looked at it carefully.
After Gao Xuan finished reading it, he was already sweating, and secretly sighed: Fortunately, I knelt down and kowtowed, otherwise I wouldn't even know how I died, and Brother Python saved my life again!
The wat board reads: Kneel down and worship me, get my inheritance, if you don't kneel down, seal your throat and see blood, after the coffin, there is another chance, kowtow!
Gao Xuan put down the wat board, knelt down again, and kowtowed three times in a row!
Gao Xuan got up and took the wat board and walked towards the back of the coffin, followed by the python.
The back of the coffin was wide open, and it turned out that the back file that Gao Xuan saw had already submerged into the ground, and there were steps inside.
Gao Xuan and Big Brother Python walked into the coffin and walked down the steps.
More than ten stone steps soon came to an end, and a small stone chamber appeared, a sarcophagus, placed in the center, surrounded by stone platforms full of rare treasures, gold, silver and bronze utensils, and three jade boxes of different sizes placed in front of the coffin.
Gao Xuan was dazzled and excited.
Suddenly remembering the words on the wat board, Gao Xuan came to the sarcophagus and knelt on the ground, and sincerely kowtowed three times.
Gao Xuan picked up a jade box and opened it, inside were several thread-bound parchment secrets, and the cover read "The Seven Techniques of the Book of Books", "Occult Arts", "Hidden Records" and a copy of "Twelve Meridians".
Gao Xuan opened another jade box, which was some small jade pills, with names such as Huoluo Dan, Yi Marrow Pill, Yuan Ling Dan, etc., it seemed that there were some pills and the like, and there was a silk book, and when I opened it, it was written about the use of pills, just like the instructions in the medicine box.
Gao Xuan opened the third relatively large jade box, and saw that there were compasses, three clear bells, five thunder gold seals, and some other Taoist utensils.
Gao Xuan put everything back into the jade box, and looked at the rare treasures around him, gold, silver and bronze, all of which were rare in the world.
Until now, Gao Xuan has not figured out who the owner of this big tomb is, and people have to accept the inheritance by themselves, that is to say, let themselves be apprentices, you have to look carefully, and the life chronicle of the old man must be known!
Gao Xuan looked at Brother Python, after Brother Python entered the real tomb, it seemed that there was nothing wrong with it, lying in front of the coffin, recuperating and recuperating, the injury to its head before was not small!
When Gao Xuan looked at Big Brother Python, he remembered that the head of the python was still oozing blood, and hurriedly opened a jade box, he wanted to see if there was any medicine to cure blood, and first heal Big Brother Python's injury.
Gao Xuan looked at the words engraved on the jade curtains one by one, found a bottle of blood san, opened the silk book again, looked at the method of use, pulled out the cork, and smeared it on the injured part of the python's head to a very small point on his hand.
Big Brother Python seemed to know that Gao Xuan was healing himself, so he obediently supported his head, like an obedient child, motionless.
After a while, the python's head was scabbed, this medicine is really good, it is so magical.
Gao Xuan looked at Big Brother Python and wanted Big Brother Python to give him some hints, but Big Brother Python didn't seem to know anything and didn't move.
Gao Xuan and Brother Python said a lot of good things, but it was useless. Gao Xuan also felt tired, and at the same time felt hungry, and his stomach began to protest, but protesting here was ineffective.
One person and one python, staying in the tomb like this, Gao Xuan thought of going out, all the entrances were automatically sealed when he came in before, maybe Brother Python has a way, but Brother Python just can't get up.
Gao Xuan finally couldn't stand it anymore and slowly closed his eyes.
Gao Xuan thought to himself, he is going to starve to death in this tomb, where does this want me to inherit, do you want me to be buried with me!
I don't know how long it took for Gao Xuan to have a clear picture in his mind, an old man with crane hair and a childish face appeared on a mountain peak.
Gao Xuan knelt in front of the old man, the old man held a trick with both hands, and a spiritual light entered from Gao Xuan's eyebrows, Gao Xuan felt a powerful air flow surging through the meridians of his body, and then gathered the sea of qi.
"This is a wisp of divine soul that I have descended, it has been integrated into your body, since you have accepted my inheritance, you should have my divine soul, open the shackles of mortals for you and have a spirit body, in the future, study more of the secrets I left behind, and cultivate well, I will be able to achieve something in the future, this jade pendant will be given to you, and when your life is most dangerous, it will definitely save you!"
"Thank you, Master!" Gao Xuan was very excited.
"By the way, don't mention me at any time, you don't need to know who I am for the time being? The spirit python is my spiritual pet in my previous life, it understands human nature, and it will follow you in the future, so I will treat it well. It is estimated that soon, it will be able to transform into a human form, and you will be able to communicate with each other by then. ”
"Disciple, keep in mind the teachings of the master!" Gao Xuan replied with a respectful bow.
When Gao Xuan raised his head again, where was there still the shadow of the master, he only saw that the big brother of the python was still not moving.
Could it be that I am dreaming again, remembering the scene just now, it seems to be real? Gao Xuan tried it, his whole body was full of energy, and he didn't feel hungry, and then he looked around, there was really a piece of jade pendant, crystal clear, slightly exuding aura.
Gao Xuan felt refreshed, his consciousness was also very open, and a warm current came out of his lower abdomen, which was particularly refreshing.
It's a pity that Gao Xuan doesn't know how to exercise at this time and can't control this spiritual power.
