There is a hole under the white jade coffin, which in itself is a very strange thing.

Even in Jinjing, this funeral custom has been in place since the Qing Dynasty.

From the shocked expression on Xing Chang's face at this time, Xu Tianchuan could be 100% sure that there was something under the cave, and it was a very unusual thing!

"Python?"

The first thing that Xu Tianchuan thought of was the python that appeared in the mural.

Because there is a sentence recorded in the mural, the python that Yuntian Dao people let him raise to guard the tomb of the ten princesses, and the gravediggers of the mound will die......

This pedestal, with 63 steps, covers a large area and is also a place where pythons are likely to hide.

Truly!

Xu Tianchuan was right.

Xing Chang, who was stunned for five seconds, came back to his senses, and nodded subconsciously with a solemn expression and some nervousness.

The pillars of light of the two miner's lamps shine straight down from the cave that collapsed under the feet, although the illumination range of the lights is not very wide, but you can clearly see a very thick cylindrical body hovering and dormant at a depth of more than ten meters, which looks like a python, but I have never seen such a big and thick one.

Because it is too thick, and the hole is not very wide, the light pillar of the miner's lamp is not particularly bright, and only the part of the body can be seen, and the head and tail are not seen.

Even so, Xing Chang has already determined in his heart that the following hovering and dormant is the legendary python, and the most obvious feature is that it is covered with a layer of black scales like fish scales, which are black and shiny under the illumination of the pillar of light!

The python covered in scales is very much in line with the characteristics of the legendary python alone.

I didn't expect to be able to see the real python with my own eyes in my lifetime!

A feeling of nervousness and excitement, horror and excitement in his heart made Xing Chang involuntarily breathe quickly and his heart beat fast.

"Fuck it...... What a big anaconda! ”

Not only was it a punishment, but even Jiao San was startled, making Jiao San, who had just broken free from fear, gasp deeply.

Fortunately, Jiao San is a man who has seen the Corpse Worm King, so his inner tolerance is slightly higher.

Compared to the corpse worm king in the tomb, the hovering and dormant python below is much smaller.

But the sense of fear and oppression brought to people is not weak at all.

Fortunately, the python below is always dormant with its body crossed, like a realistic stone sculpture, motionless.

Even if there was a collapse on it just now, many fragments of the white jade coffin and some burial goods fell from it and smashed on its body, still motionless and unresponsive, as if it was dead.

"It can't be dead, right?"

Jiao San had some doubts in his heart.

Xing Chang shook his head, his eyes brightened, and said, "It's not death, it's hibernation!" The mound does not have any food sources, so it can only hibernate to reduce its activity, energy expenditure and body metabolism, just like ordinary snakes. ”

Jiao San nodded, this explanation seemed to be really reasonable.

Although Xing Chang made this explanation, there was another doubt in his heart.

There is a record on the mural that "the python guards the mausoleum, and the gravedigger of the mound will die!" ”

This python hibernates and sleeps as if it is dead, the coffin of the tomb owner has been pried to pieces, the zongzi have jumped out of the coffin, and even the things on it are smashed on it, without waking up, what kind of tomb is this?

The mausoleum in turn guarded it almost the same.

"Beware!"

It was at the same time that Xu Tianchuan got rid of the ferocious pounce of the zongzi, made a strong backflip, and rushed over with the light skill of hanging the cloud ladder.

Xu Tianchuan also wanted to see with his own eyes what the python that only existed in legends and had the blood of the ancient Rui beast dragon in his body looked like.

At the very least, it can be regarded as an eye-opener and increase knowledge.

Regarding increasing knowledge, for Xu Tianchuan now, it is much more important than touching gold.

After experiencing more of the world and gaining more knowledge, Xu Tianchuan felt that he could also write a guide similar to "Sixteen Characters Yin Yang Feng Shui Secret Technique".

Xu Tianchuan rushed over with the zongzi behind.

So Xu Tianchuan gave Xing Chang and Jiao San a wake-up call in advance.

I don't know if it's because the evil and the ghost led the way to Jiao San caused a great psychological shadow, after seeing the hideous face of the dumpling that followed Xu Tianchuan rushing over, especially her scarlet and fierce eyes, Jiao San had a sense of fear that his inner breath was suppressed, his back was cold, and he subconsciously took several steps back, almost not sitting on the ground.

Xing Chang was not afraid at all, and even immediately greeted him, helped Xu Tianchuan block it in the back, and the unfolded steel fan slashed towards the arms of the zongzi.

Xu Tianchuan came to the edge of the cave entrance and looked down.

A giant python hovering and hibernating, shaped like a plate of mosquito coils, was also smashed with a lot of broken white jade coffin fragments on its body, and its body did not move at all, it really looked like a corpse.

Hibernation?

Xu Tianchuan also thought of such a completely illogical question in his heart.

There is no food source in this tomb, and if you want to survive here for a long time, you can only use the unique hibernation method of the animals that can change their metabolism.

So if that's the case, what else is there to talk about guarding the mausoleum?

If a grave robber digs a grave, the python will immediately wake up from hibernation, which is reasonable.

But his group has been here for so long, the coffin has been broken, and the python still has no signs of awakening.

Or is it something like a trigger that will bring the python back from hibernation?

No!

Not really!

If you follow what is stated in the mural text, then everything you guess is wrong.

Because since the Yuntian Dao people practiced the living corpse of the ten princesses, not a single word was true, and it was all a big lie compiled by him.

Therefore, it is fake to treat the ten princesses, and it is also false that the python can drive away the disease, and none of what the Yuntian Dao people said is true, the python is a vicious beast, and it is almost the same as bringing the disease, how can it be possible to drive away the disease.

Similarly, the python is a vicious beast, how could it be possible to guard the tomb of the tenth princess here?

So the python guarding the tomb is also fake!

And the real situation is completely reversed, it is not the python who guards the tomb for the tenth princess, it is the tenth princess who guards the tomb!

Yuntian Dao people set up a big situation, and worked hard for ten years, on the surface to treat the ten princesses, and secretly quietly practiced the operation of the ten princesses to practice the living corpse, the real purpose is to wait until the ten princesses die, become a retrograde nature, not afraid of any exorcism of the zongzi, and then come to guard the tomb for this python!

Any grave robber who comes to dig the grave will die!

A python still needs to guard its mausoleum?

Could it be that this python is not hibernating, but really dead?

No!

Not really dead, but not hibernating.

It's a metamorphosis!

Right! It's a metamorphosis!

Anyone who knows about snakes knows that snakes will molt, and molting means that the snake is growing.

But this python is not simply shedding, but transforming.

In ancient myths and legends, there are many well-known and familiar myths and allusions, including the sentence 'snake turns into Jiao, Jiao turns into dragon'!

This python has part of the dragon's bloodline flowing from its body, so it has the qualification of 'snake into a dragon, a dragon into a dragon'.

At this time, this python is in the process of transformation.

As for the process of turning into a snake and a dragon, Xu Tianchuan is really not sure.

But the former is more likely, even if it has the blood of a dragon, it is essentially a python.

In addition, Xu Tianchuan relied on his night vision eyes to clearly see that the black shiny scales covered by this python had actually been shelled from its real body.

So now the anaconda's metamorphosis should have reached the final stage.

"Uncle, let's quickly withdraw, I feel that this python below will suddenly wake up from hibernation at some point! When the time comes, it may be too late to withdraw. ”

Xing Chang struggled in front of Zongzi for two rounds and began to be a little unbearable, and at the same time turned around and shouted at Xu Tianchuan.

Indeed, just looking at the size of this python and the black scales covering its whole body, it is definitely not a good stubble, if it continues to grind, when it wakes up from hibernation, it is very likely to be cool here.

"No!"

Xu Tianchuan was originally ready to withdraw, but when he saw the python below, he vetoed the idea of retreating very decisively, and said loudly, "This python is not hibernating, but transforming, the snake is turning into a dragon!" But the snake transformation is not overnight, it is likely to take thousands of years, or even longer, the original Yuntian Dao people took great pains to train the ten princesses to live corpses, the real purpose is to protect the transformation of this python from any disturbance from the outside world, and help the python create an environment suitable for perennial transformation! ”

"The scales on this python's body have obviously degenerated, so it must have reached the final stage of metamorphosis, as long as it has not completely completed the metamorphosis, that is when its body is the weakest, which is why it has always been motionless with its body coiled."

While speaking, the expression on Xu Tianchuan's face became more determined with a sense of purpose.

"Uncle, are you going to take advantage of the python's deformed weakness and kill it?"

Xing Chang frowned, and at the same time, he really couldn't bear the pounce of the zongzi in front of him, so he could only grit his teeth and quickly retreat, but this fierce zongzi didn't give Xing Chang any respite at all, and chased after him.

At the critical moment, Xu Tianchuan volleyed a sword in the air and blocked in front of Zongzi in time.

"Jump in first!"

Xu Tianchuan shouted at the retreating Xing Chang.

Because the situation is so urgent that there is no room for any hesitation.

With absolute trust in Xu Tianchuan, Xing Chang could only grit his teeth and jump from the collapsed hole.

Jiao San naturally didn't have to wait for Xu Tianchuan to repeat the second sentence, and jumped down with Xing Chang.

Xu Tianchuan really wanted to take advantage of the opportunity of the python's transformation, but it was not for the so-called righteousness and elimination of harm for the people.

But it is recorded in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" that the whole body of this python is a treasure......

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, as if you have found a super treasure, just waiting for yourself to bend down to pick it up, how can you just withdraw like this?

watched Xing Chang and Jiao San jump back and forth from the collapsed hole.

Xu Tianchuan's strength started with his feet, and rushed towards the direction of the Yongdaokou in the tomb, and the zongzi in front of him immediately followed, although the speed was also very fast, but compared with Xu Tianchuan's light skill of hanging the cloud ladder, it was still a little worse.

But after throwing off a certain distance from the zongzi, Xu Tianchuan turned around sharply, and then jumped down towards the hole under the white jade coffin, and at the same time took out the diamond umbrella from the system storage space and opened it, blocked the hole from above with the umbrella surface, and inserted a black fold into the gap between the umbrella bones of the diamond umbrella, which was just stuck.

After jumping down from this hole, Xu Tianchuan could feel the zongzi jumping on top of the King Kong umbrella, no matter how strong she was, she would not be able to break the King Kong umbrella.

So Xu Tianchuan ignored it completely, but immediately shifted his attention to the big hole below.

This is also a brick room made of blue bricks.

The interior space is very large, estimated to be the size of at least two basketball courts, and a total of more than a dozen circular stone pillars are erected at the four corners of the burial chamber.

When Xing Chang and Jiao San jumped down, they had already turned on the miner's lamp, and the light filled the entire tomb, and it was basically clear that more than a dozen round stone pillars erected at the four corners of the tomb were carved with lifelike coiling dragons.

Not only these dozen round stone pillars, but also the image of the five-clawed dragon can be seen everywhere on the walls around this tomb, and the carvings are extremely exquisite, lifelike, vivid, and the most rare thing is that it also carves out the majestic momentum, charm and aura of the real dragon.

There were no carved images of pythons and real dragons in the main burial chamber above, but now it seems that they were all concentrated in this burial chamber hidden below.

With so many images of real dragons carved, it is obvious that it means that the python can successfully transform into a dragon and then transform into a beautiful vision.

Looking at the very center of the burial chamber, there is a huge circular moire base, about ten meters in diameter!

On this huge circular moire base, there is a spider python that is demuting and hibernating, which also has the meaning of transforming into a dragon and driving the clouds.

Just now, because the hole was narrow, I only saw the part of the python's body.

After coming down, I clearly saw the whole picture of this python.

It was much bigger than I expected, and its hovering body was just as big as a circular moire base with a diameter of ten meters.

The body that is thicker than the water tank is covered with a layer of black scales, these scales look very hard, and the distance is close and then the light shines on it, indeed as Xu Tianchuan said, the scales on the python's body have been shelled from the flesh inside, and it is very obvious, and you can even vaguely see that the flesh inside has regrown a layer of silver scales, but it is just not completely formed, it is still a layer of soft scales.

In the middle of the python's entrenched body was a huge head.

It is almost identical to the image of the python carved in the mural of the main burial chamber above, without any difference.

It is a huge python head, also covered with black scales, but the scales on the head are slightly smaller than those on the body, and the biggest difference with ordinary pythons is that there is a big bag on the head that bulges high!
