The moment I saw the hoarse voice sweeping away the leaves, I saw a series of bronze-colored three-eyed strange snakes densely wrapped around the branches, their density was so small that they almost covered the branches, but in the place I saw, there were at least four or five three-eyed strange snakes!

These strange snakes are all connected to one another, and the way they are connected is that one snake bites the tail of the other, forming a "Ouroboros" state.

This connection of the "Ouroboros" is indeed very strange, and I can't help but think that in fact, in many myths and legends, there are stories about Ouroboros. For example, in Norse mythology, one of the three sons and daughters of the evil god Loki, the giant serpent Jörmungard, is a giant creature that can surround the whole world with its body and bite its tail at the other end with its mouth. But the most famous is the Ouroboros of India. It is a symbol that has been passed down since ancient times, roughly resembling a snake or dragon devouring its own tail, resulting in a ring whose name means "self-devourer". This symbol has always had many different symbolic meanings, and it is even recorded in Tantra that it is intended to represent rebirth or immortality, and some say that it means infinite cycles and so on. Among them, the most accepted are the meanings of "infinity" and "rebirth". I tried to think from a biological point of view, but I couldn't figure out why the snake was connected in such a way here.

The Three-Eyed Serpent seemed to be in a dormant state, and they did not stir up the leaves with their hoarse voices, but remained in that state. The courage of the hoarse voice is really extraordinary, and in the face of so many three-eyed monster snakes, he even put his face upward, trying to see the situation inside.

"This should be a lock!" The old cat, who had been silent, suddenly came out with a sentence at this time.

The hoarse voice glanced back at the old cat with a hint of respect in his eyes, and then he nodded his head, agreeing with the old cat's statement, and added that the name of the lock was "Chengtian Lock".

The hoarse voice tells us that the Chengtian Lock is a lock made of "dragons". It is said that Dayu once made several giant dragons as chains, and locked the evil beasts in Asan with the Chengtian lock. In the Ming Dynasty, there was also a legend that Liu Ji used a strange technique to create nine dragon-like chain iron cables to lock the black evil Jiao, so as to ensure the stability of one party. And the Chengtian lock here is one of the oldest Chengtian locks, and these living dragons (zhilong) are connected to each other before and after, making this Chengtian lock closer and more vicious. The position we are in now is the broken dragon mouth in feng shui, which is artificially created, which means that you can only enter but not leave, and if you come in, you don't want to go out again.

This passage in a hoarse voice brought me a great impact, if these snakes are the so-called Chengtian locks, then how are these snakes made into "locks"? It is hard to imagine that such a large group of living creatures have obeyed the command for thousands of years.

I noticed that the hoarse voice was not at all surprised by the three-eyed snake, and called it the dragon. It didn't look like the first time he'd seen such a snake.

The bald head also interjected at this time and said that although he had heard some such things before, compared to the Chengtian lock in front of him now, it was nothing more than a small thing. The bald head heard his master talk about "lock Gu", that is, after casting Gu on people, he turned him into a half-human, half-corpse unconscious person, this kind of person specializes in feeding on the flesh of living creatures. This category is also often used to guard tombs. But when this kind of Gu has exhausted the number of "human" lives in its body, it will slowly lose its effectiveness and gradually die a real death. Therefore, in many archaeological works now, several nameless corpses will be found near the tombs of some feng shui treasures.

The hoarse expression was somewhat similar to that of the old cat, both of them were expressionless, and he stood in place, as if thinking about something.

"Every tree here should be covered with countless dragons. If you want to unlock this lock, you need to sacrifice the blood of a living person, feed the blood to the "guarding" dragon, and the lock can be opened. Every dragon here is a lock and a key, but only one "Chong" dragon is the key to unlocking the Heavenly Lock, and if an error occurs while unlocking, the mechanism here will be activated, and then all the dragons will wake up. The old cat said calmly.

I shuddered in my heart, there are at least dozens of trees that can be visually inspected here, and if there are dense three-eyed monster snakes on each tree, then this kind of snake is not a few thousand but a hundred. The probability of our successful unlocking is estimated to be not much lower than winning the lottery. If we pick the wrong lock, it will definitely be bitten to death by those dragons, or the consequences will be even more terrifying.

After hearing the old cat's words, he walked back in a hoarse voice, and corrected the old cat that he was only half right. This Heavenly Lock is indeed difficult to break, but it is not invulnerable. The Shou Chong here may not be an ordinary pig dragon, but a giant snake! As long as the giant snake is found, there is a way to unlock this Heavenly Lock. However, he still emphasized that the old cat said another sentence was very correct, that is, to unlock the lock, it was necessary to sacrifice the blood of the living. When he said the word "blood sacrifice", he looked up at a few of us in a hoarse voice. Suddenly I had a sense of foreboding.

The hoarse voice made a gesture to his men, ordering three men to guard us with guns, and the others to look for "Shouchong" in the trees, and he emphasized that "Shouchong" must be a special pig dragon, so that they must pay attention. In the end, he told his men not to let any blood touch those dragons!

Instead of following him to Shouchong, he stood beside us with the three men, looking thoughtfully at the trees in front of him. The three of them were so tightly guarded that we weren't allowed to turn our heads, let alone communicate with each other.

It took me less than five minutes before I heard the man on my left shouting, "Found it, Shou Chong should be here." ”

With a long sigh of relief, he walked briskly over there, seemingly confirming Shouchong. He turned around and beckoned to our guards, motioning for them to bring us over. I glanced at the old cat in front of me, he was still expressionless, I couldn't see what he was thinking, Team Zhang and Lin Xihui didn't say anything, but the bald head began to be restless, and he was about to make trouble scolding, but he immediately let someone press him to the ground.

At this moment, behind us, another person shouted in confusion, "Wait...... I seem to have a ...... guard here."
