Chapter Forty-Seven: The True Body of Houtu

Juekong's tone was relaxed and calm, while we listened in shock and dazed.

Originally, what we were curious about was the so-called Houtu bones, but unconsciously, the topic was actually shifted to the special habits of the beetle snake clan by Juekong.

Is there any special relationship between the two?

Because this so-called Houtu remains have a special connection with his own Houtu relics, Yihe at this time has long changed from the previous blandness, and when we were still in doubt, he took the initiative to ask.

"Master, there is no doubt that people cannot live without bones, and if, as you said, this beetle snake clan can actually take the initiative to replace their own bones, can they survive without bones?"

"The reason why the beetle snake is called a desolate alien species is naturally because it is different."

After knowing the relationship between Yi He and Hou Tu, Juekong understood Yi He's unusual state at this time, and when he heard his inquiry, he immediately answered.

"The molt of ordinary snakes is because as they age, their original skin can no longer cover their growing bodies, but the beetle snake family has too long a lifespan, so although they also have snake molting behavior, their own bones are not enough to support this body that has survived for thousands of years."

"It is precisely because of this that in order to better survive in the world, the long-lived Teng Snake clan has made a move like a strong man breaking his wrist."

Speaking of this, Juekong suddenly shouted the Buddha's name, the expression on his face was full of compassion, and the tone of his voice to us was suddenly full of unbearability.

"After reaching a certain age, the beetle snake will take the initiative to replace its bones, although it is prepared when it is replaced, but it is often a dead life, if there is any problem in the process of replacement, then there is only a dead end."

"But if its bones are successfully replaced, then this beetle snake can be cultivated as an adult from now on, and can even enjoy the incense of the world in the future, and become a special existence in this way."

"Is it ......?"

Yi He listened carefully to Juekong's explanation, and when he heard this, his face suddenly changed greatly, and he interrupted Juekong's narration with an exclamation.

"Master, could it be the legendary Houtu who can hold the Yin and Yang cultivation heaven and earth, and his real body is the beetle snake clan!?"

Hearing Yihe's exclamation, we fell into shock again.

If his speculation is true, then we are once again exposed to a secret that has been sealed for thousands of years.

There is no doubt that we are still not sure whether there are gods in this world.

However, it is obvious that from the various legends and records left in the past, we can see many suspected immortals.

In various records, those suspected immortals even have the ability to move mountains and seas and reshape yin and yang, no matter what their true identity is, but at that time, they must be the undisputed immortals in the eyes of the world.

And Houtu is one of these suspected immortals, and it is an important existence that cannot be ignored.

It is opposite to the emperor, known as the mother of the earth by the world, holding yin and yang, nurturing all things, and is one of the heavenly emperors in the legendary four six emperors.

In addition, Houtu is also one of the mysterious twelve ancestors, in the record, Houtu is a snake tail, with seven hands on his back, and there are also two hands on his chest, and these two hands hold two beetle snakes.

Obviously, with such a strange description, we can't associate it with a normal human in any way.

Because of Yihe, Juekong has just told us that in this secluded land, the so-called supreme treasure is a bone containing the cultivation of the Houtu.

And just when we were wondering where this bone came from, Juekong seemed to inadvertently mention to us the unique characteristics of the beetle snake clan.

Moreover, he told us very clearly that if the beetle snake clan succeeds in bone replacement, then this beetle snake can be cultivated as an adult from now on, become a special existence, and can even enjoy the fireworks of the world, which is no different from humans.

From what I know about Juekong, he can't describe a meaningless thing in such detail, and since he is so serious about the special habits of the beetle snake clan, it can only mean that this matter has a great relationship with what we are curious about now.

In this case, Yi He's bold conjecture suddenly became reasonable.

The legendary Mother Earth, who holds the five elements of yin and yang, is the beetle snake who has successfully replaced her bones!

Only in this way can all the problems be explained reasonably.

"Zu Long decided to place this Houtu bone in the tenth city built by him together with another fierce object, and leave it for the arrival of destined people."

Looking back at the crowd, I noticed that their expressions were the same as mine, and I was sure that everyone and I generally hadn't figured out the key point, so I looked at Juekong again and asked.

"Master, even if we know the true appearance of Houtu, which is his appearance as an ancestral witch, what does this have to do with the bones you mentioned?"

After hearing my doubts, Juekong smiled strangely again.

"Donor may wish to think about it, although we can't be sure whether there are immortals in the world, but there is no doubt about one thing, that is, if he is described according to the appearance of Houtu's true body, then he must not be a human being like you and me, there should be no doubt about this, right?"

I thought about it seriously and found that there was indeed some truth in Juekong's words.

There is no doubt that how can a normal person have a snake tail and seven hands on his back, regardless of whether Houtu is a so-called immortal or not, at least, he will definitely not be an ordinary human like us.

Thinking of this, I nodded silently, agreeing with what Juekong had just said.

"As we all know, as snakes grow, because their original skin can no longer cover their growing bodies, snakes often have molting behavior, people usually call it snake molting, and some people call it Longyi."

And after seeing my expression, Juekong no longer embarrassed me, and finally said the connection between the true body of Houtu and the so-called bones of Houtu.

"And the snake held in the hands of the soil is not an extraordinary thing, but the legendary beetle snake, although the beetle snake also has the habit of snake molting, but in addition, the beetle snake has other characteristics."

"The life span of snakes is uneven, generally ranging from two years to thirty or forty years, but this beetle snake is an ancient alien species, if it has not suffered any major changes, its lifespan can even reach thousands of years, and it is precisely because of its long life that it has a unique habit."
