Chapter Thirty-Nine: Is the Golden Snake a Thing in the Pool?
I don't know if I'm hallucinating, because after all, after experiencing this series of difficult actions, although it has been considered a safe landing, the whole person is still a little dizzy.
I still decided to tell Uncle Gu about this discovery, after all, Uncle Gu is well-informed, and if anything really goes wrong, he can at least take us to deal with the sudden situation together.
Uncle Gu glanced at the golden snake from a distance, and the expression on his face was also a little uneasy: "Let's go and take a look first, just in case." ”
So we lined up in formation, and slowly moved from the golden glass back towards the curled snake.
When we got closer, we were surprised to find that this snake was scary, although it was coiled there, but the height could also be about two meters, and the snake body was round, it is estimated that two people could hold it hand in hand, the snake has scales, it is the kind of gold leaf that is similar to sticking to it, the gold leaf scales can be the size of a fan, moving with the wind, it looks like it is moving from a distance, but it is a bit reluctant to say that this is a snake, the body is so thick, but it is closer to a python.
As the wind blows, the gold leaf scales on its body flutter neatly, layer by layer, and it looks very beautiful.
Since the head of the golden python is buried in the coiled body, we can't see the head of the golden python, but if we want to see it, we have to climb on the python's body.
But we don't have much strength to climb up.
After circling around the golden python, and seeing that it didn't move, we decided to look around.
Seeing that the ground in this courtyard is full of gold bricks, we are deeply amazed by the construction of the octagonal heavy building treasure hall, what a big project this must be! You must know that in the Tang Dynasty at that time, such a project could almost be said to be a wealth of the country.
I don't know where the owner of the tomb of this golden temple is sacred, since ancient times, I have never heard of such a tomb of all gold, this is not only a matter of manpower, material and financial resources, but more importantly, the owner of this tomb is so deeply popular, you know, the craftsmen at that time can not love the gold in front of them but also concentrate on building a gold mound for it, which is more unusual than anything else.
We are now standing at the entrance of the main hall, and the hall of this main hall is also quite exquisite.
The upper high and the low are low, stand for the three layers, a total of five red tops, the top is the three golden palace covers, a total of eight golden doors are reversed inside and outside, these eight golden doors are carved with hollow golden branches and jade leaves, and the two main doors in the middle are carved with the double dragon playing with pearls.
Seeing these two dragons playing with pearls, you can imagine that the owner of this tomb should be a dignitary figure in the Tang Dynasty, and should be a relative of the emperor.
I saw Uncle Gu and the others all going inside, so I followed in.
Before, we were standing on the cliff and looking down, and the angle of looking down was one-sided, but now we are standing in the Dragon Tower Treasure Hall and seeing it is naturally clear.
Just say that the golden glazed back of the golden eaves is separated by the red pillars of the dragon, every three meters is a red pillar of the eaves, under the glazed back is a golden corridor leading to the right side of the inner hall, there are a low steps of a ladder in it, looking at it from a distance, it is very layered.
I smelled the red pillar of the dragon, the red paint was fragrant, it was hard to imagine that after so many years, this red paint was still intact.
Seeing that everyone was moving freely, I was not so restrained and boldly walked to the opposite side.
But strange to say, the corridor under the back of the golden glaze is all the same stone pillars, there is no eaves and cover like the glazed back, just ordinary dragon pillars, and not golden, all made of stone, it looks incompatible with the golden of this full hall.
This is a bit too abrupt, when I got closer and walked to the first coiling dragon pillar, I found that the dragon body above was disconnected, and the part connected to the dragon body on this pillar appeared on the top of the other pillar, forming a head-to-tail echo between the pillars.
I don't understand this, why is not a whole dragon painted on each dragon pillar, I counted, there are a total of thirty stone pillars here, separated on both sides, fifteen on each side, and these thirty dragon pillars are carved with a dragon!
What does this symbolize?
After searching for a long time, I couldn't find the faucet, but on the last pillar I found the place where the faucet should have been carved.
There is a saying that the dragon sees the head but does not see the tail, but this is the other way around.
The ideas of the ancients can never be guessed, of course, their carving techniques are very exquisite, but the meaning represented in them is very profound, if there is no point of cultivation, it is really impossible to guess!
Shaking his head with a wry smile, this is still a little too difficult for me.
This secluded land is still very wide, and my current location is only in the courtyard with the golden glazed back and the thirty coiled dragon pillars, and the golden python is in the middle of this courtyard.
Going further is the golden step to enter the inner sanctum.
I bypassed the golden python and walked straight to the inner sanctum.
Stepping through the golden steps is to enter the inner hall of the inner courtyard, the center of the inner courtyard is the bronze hanging tripod and the golden altar, the hanging tripod has been seen, no more look, I went straight to the inner hall.
This hall is actually a row of courtyards, and the Yama Palace outside the Jizo Bodhisattva Temple is a little similar, inadvertently so at a glance, if it weren't for this row of golden pavilions, I thought I had arrived at the Jizo King Bodhisattva Temple again!
Uncle Gu and Liu Erhe both approached to observe the part of the courtyard.
I stood outside the courtyard and thought for a while, if Uncle Gu was by my side now, it would be much better, so I didn't hesitate any longer, so I decided to go in and have a look.
But at this moment, I heard Liu Erhe not far away whispering my name.
"Qin Huai'an?!"
This is the first time I have heard Liu Erhe call my full name, usually he didn't dare, old Beijing attaches great importance to status and humility, and subordinates can't just call the master's real name.
I looked at him with confusion in my eyes.
Then I saw that he was looking at me, and he looked up at my head slightly, and then at me, and at his countenance, very badly, as if he had seen something terrible.
Looking behind me, Uncle Gu was also looking straight at my head, and at the same time was slowly retreating.
I knew something was wrong, they must have seen something! I deliberately pretended not to know, then looked at Liu Erhe, and while walking towards him, I asked: What's wrong?
I counted the seconds in my heart, and as soon as I took two or three steps, I rushed towards Liu Erhe at once.
As soon as the front foot rushed out, there was a sudden boom behind him!
Liu Erhe hurriedly hugged me, and then a few of us ran in the direction of the compound.
No one dared to turn back along the way, but they also guessed a rough idea in their hearts, and when they looked forward, sure enough, the golden python in the big yard in front of them was gone!
When we ran out of the inner hall and stood in the courtyard, the five of us dared to look around with our backs to the back, we were all looking for the figure of the golden python, but because the eyes were golden, the golden python was also golden, so it was difficult to catch its figure.
"Keep an eye on it! Pay more attention to the movement around you! Uncle Gu stretched his hand back at us, and surrounded a few of us, and everyone stared closely around.
The snake is not easy to shake off, its attack is unruly, and it moves very quickly, especially in such a deep mountain, I don't know how many years it has lived, and it is even more strange to act.
Standing in the courtyard, looking at the golden roof of the inner hall that was shattered, I couldn't help but feel a pity in my heart.
But there is no way for us to think about this situation now.
Suddenly, I heard what I was doing, I don't know which direction it was, and there was a faint sound of rubbing, which was the sound of a golden python crawling in the dark!
"This thing is unusual, be careful!" As soon as Uncle Gu's words fell, I vaguely saw that something seemed to be moving on the back of the golden glass.
The snake body and the glazed back are the same color, which is not easy to find, but the neatly arranged eaves have fluctuations, so it can be judged that the golden python is hidden on the glazed back.
"Over there!" I pointed to the back of the glass and shouted to everyone.
Everyone was staring in that direction.
Fortunately, this courtyard is quite large, only the coiling dragon pillar on the left and the glass back on the right, and there is no other obstruction of the view, it is very wide, and we can still capture the movement of the golden python.
Just as the big guy was staring at that position, it peeked out from the other side!
The moment it appeared, my back was cold, and I couldn't help but shiver, and a cold feeling swept through my body, as if I had fallen into a deep-sea ice cave!
Because in front of us is not a python in the traditional sense at all! It's a big golden anacond!
The snake was a way for the ancients to call the snake in ancient times, but the snake has existed since ancient times, although both the snake and the snake are regarded as a kind of snake, but it has the shape of a snake and the state of a dragon.
The head of the golden beetle, like a dragon without horns, has a dragon crown, is the legendary dragon and snake of the combination of things, can not enter the water, but often hidden in the depths of the earth's veins, its sex is ferocious, do not eat or drink can live for thousands of years.
"Old man, my master and I have seen this thing in the Heavenly Hanging Palace! My master said that there is only one thing left in the world! How can there be another one?! Qiao Dasheng pulled out the stick and held it in his hand, and exclaimed without looking back.
Uncle Gu tilted his head sideways and listened to Qiao Dasheng's words, and then stared at Jin Xuan: "This should be the last one your master said!" ”
