Chapter 63: Return to the Green Mound

Under the dark clouds, the long-lost sun began to shine through, and the earth began to show vitality.

A black cloak slowly peeked out from the side of the hill, followed by a face covered in black veil. Almost at the same time, a bunch of black buns next to him towered high, and a calm face was slowly revealed.

"It seems that they have already arrived, why did they wait until now to start going to the grave?" Xu Hao looked at the crowd in front of his grandfather's tomb at the bottom of the slope, not angry, but seemed to have some anticipation.

"They are waiting for the next tomb." Ming Xiang next to him stroked his meager beard and said.

Xu Hao nodded, he knew that going to the tomb was a taboo thing, and they must have calculated the time, so it was evening, but they waited until now to prepare to go to the tomb. There are so many of them, there must be people who can count yin and yang, this is not surprising at all.

I saw that Hui Zhong and others first did a simple ritual in front of Xu Shouhui's tomb, lit a burn of incense in the southeast corner of the tombstone, and then slowly peeled off the soil behind the tombstone, carefully dug up the sealed soil with a shovel, and saw an ordinary wooden coffin lying inside. Although this wooden coffin is not luxurious, it is also made of fine wood, painted with black lacquer, and buried in the soil for decades, although it has changed color a little, but it is still intact.

Wang Yisi and the others were about to step forward to open the coffin, but Hui Zhong hurriedly stopped, slowly stepped forward, knocked on the coffin, and said, "You don't need to open it, you can't open it." ”

"Why can't you open it?"

Hui Zhong didn't speak, turned and walked towards the tombstone.

Seeing this, Li Rufeng also stepped forward, knocked on the coffin, and said, "What the master said is true, this is a solid coffin, but it is actually a whole piece of wood, and there is no opening. ”

After hearing about it, everyone felt quite strange, and they didn't know what was strange about this Xu Shouhui tomb.

"Li Shaoxia, General Chen, come, move and see." Hui Zhong pointed at the tombstone.

Under the command of Hui Zhong, everyone slowly moved the tombstone, and saw that a huge bluestone slab appeared below, and moved the stone slab away, and sure enough, a hole more than one person wide appeared below, and a cold wind came from the entrance of the cave, which made people shiver.

Hui Zhong opened the fire fold, lit a small torch and probed inside, nothing unusual, so he crouched and jumped into the hole.

After a while, I heard Hui Zhong shouting, "Come down." ”

Everyone jumped into the cave one by one. Originally, inside the entrance of this cave was a steep slope made of rammed earth, and after entering, it slid directly to the bottom of the slope, and inside was a relatively wide tomb road, all made of green bricks.

After all, it was the leader of the rebel army who died horizontally, and Xu Shouhui's tomb was very simple compared to the tombs of those emperors and nobles.

Everyone went down the cemetery, lit three candles in the southeast corner, and then lit the oil lamps on both sides of the tomb as they walked deeper into the tomb. Along the way, except for a group of bats that suddenly flew by, there was no hidden weapon that everyone was worried about, but there were many forks in the road, and there was no tomb map, so I could only take one step at a time and slowly explore and move forward.

Hui Zhong led the way in front, and he couldn't help but think in his heart, and he didn't know if Senior Brother Ji Bu and the five of them had followed, whether they had seen the marks on the ground or not, as long as they were following Xu Hao and them.

After walking for about half an hour, there was a stone wall in front of everyone, and it seemed that this was either the entrance to the tomb or a dead end.

Everyone searched around, but I don't know who touched the mechanism, and the boulder suddenly cracked, only to hear a few loud rumbling sounds, and a bucket-thick blue and white python burst out, opening its bloody mouth and spitting out letters.

Accompanied by the giant python, there were countless white mice, and for a while, squeaky and scurrying, everyone screamed and hurriedly dodged, and there was chaos for a while.

Seeing the sound, the giant python danced its body and struggled forward, seeing that the mouth of the blood basin had grown big, but it fell to the ground with a snap as if it was being dragged by something.

When I looked closely, the tail of the giant python was actually tied to a huge iron pillar, and some of the iron cables that tied the giant python had been buckled into the body of the giant python, and the clouds of flesh and blood and the gusts of bloody wind made people can't help but gause.

In fact, the iron chain is not locked, but it is entwined and can be untied, but unfortunately the giant python does not have human intelligence.

"This road doesn't work, let's take another path." Wang Yisi was originally superstitious about ghosts and gods, and was unwilling to move forward when he saw this.

"No, I think this is the path we are looking for, otherwise, why would the designer put a giant python here to block the comers?" Feng Yanlang didn't believe in these things.

Li Rufeng nodded, feeling that what Feng Yanlang said was not unreasonable.

"Hmph, it's just a snake, what's there to be afraid of?" Tie Lian seemed to have a heart for Feng Yanlang's words, and as he spoke, he drew his sword and was about to step forward to kill the python, in his opinion, the giant python was nothing to fear.

The giant python moved when it heard the sound, shrank down, and then slammed its head out, and the poison letter went straight into the iron ripple.

Tie Lian raised his sword and pulled it diagonally.

The python withdrew the poison letter, turned its head, and slammed into Tie Lian.

Tie Lian hurriedly blocked with his sword, but was slammed into the wall with a sword.

Li Rufeng was about to step forward, but saw that Wang Yisi had already picked up the ghost head and slashed over. "Hey...... You brute, it's a bit interesting, see how the third master dismantles you. Now that someone has already made a move, Wang Yisi is no longer afraid, and he really wants to play with this big snake.

When the giant python saw another strong man, he skimmed the iron ripples and slammed into the top of the cave, dropping a lot of sand and gravel with a bang.

Wang Yisi hesitated for a moment, turned over, and wanted to sit on the head of the giant python. Unexpectedly, the giant python rolled up and quickly wrapped Wang Yisi in the center.

Chen Quanzhong was taken aback, it seems that this giant python is not a good stubble. He spotted the python three inches into the ground and stabbed it with his spear.

The giant python was not a human after all, and it was still pressing Wang Yisi vigorously, not aware of the impending danger.

When Chen Quanzhong's spear tip was about to be stabbed, the giant python felt a little strange, and hurriedly twisted its body, although it avoided being stabbed three inches, but it was inevitably shot.

The severe pain made him roar angrily, and he threw Wang Yisi away with all his might, and his whole body shrank back at once, coiling back in a circle.

Tie Lian wanted to avenge the collision, raised his sword and waited to stab it, and suddenly, he saw the giant python lower its head, closed its mouth tightly, and turned its head to look at its tail, and a few drops of crystal clear things flowed from the corners of its eyes.

Tie Lian's heart softened, and he stood there staring at the giant python motionlessly.

Wang Yisi finally relieved his breath, and was holding his breath, picking up the ghost head knife and about to come over to relieve his anger, but he heard a "stop." ”

Li Rufeng stepped forward, pressed the two swords and said, "Wait for me to try." ”

"Senior brother, do you know what it's talking about?" After all, Fang Lingyan knew Li Rufeng very well.

"Not sure, though, maybe it's trying to tell us."

"Be careful, you've seen how powerful this python is."

"Well, don't worry" Li Rufeng turned around and smiled slightly, and walked forward tentatively, while gently stretching out his hands and spreading his five fingers, revealing his empty palm.

Slowly, the python seemed to understand that Li Rufeng had no malicious intentions and became less furious and irritable. The atmosphere in the tomb gradually became gentle.

Li Rufeng's left hand was still blank, and he said, "Who are you locked here?" Need help untying the ropes? ”

The giant python squirmed, its head moved up and down slightly, and a pair of eyes stared at Li Rufeng.

Li Rufeng slowly stretched out his right hand and pointed at its tail and said, "Don't move, I'll help you untie the iron rope and free you, okay?" ”

The python moved its head again, then glanced around the crowd, and slowly squirmed its body in a crawling shape.

"You...... You mean you know the way? Because of his previous life experience, Li Rufeng has a good understanding of the habits of some animals, and sometimes he can even talk to animals such as horses and dogs.

After Li Rufeng obtained the consent of the giant python, he slowly walked to the iron pillar and tried his best to help it untie the iron chain.

The smell inside was very unpleasant, Li Rufeng tore off a piece of clothing, covered his mouth and nose, and spent about a cup of tea to finally untie the iron cable.

After the giant python got out of trouble, he suddenly felt relaxed, moved his tail, bowed his head up and down to Li Rufeng, and rushed forward, as if he had to meet amnesty.
