Chapter 1049 Test of Snake Nature

Bu Youming hesitated for a few seconds and said, "I believe you. However, I'm doing this for brotherhood!"

As soon as Bu Youming finished speaking, he took the pebble I pointed to without hesitation.

The moment the pebble left the ground, everyone's hearts tightened.

The nine earth mounds on the ground shook simultaneously, flying and spinning in different directions, and the entire mountain peak seemed to be shaking violently under the stirring of nine snakes.

The few of us almost lost our footing and fell to the ground. Bu Youming shouted urgently, "You guys go first! I'll hold down the fort here."

Before Xiang Kai could stop him, Bu Youming pushed him aside, "This is a restriction set by the Bu family ancestors. If a life needs to be filled, it must be one of us from the Bu family."

Amidst his angry roar, Bu Youming pulled out a snake-shaped awl, raised it above his head, and lunged towards Bu Ting's tomb.

"Stop! That's the return of earth energy!" Ye Yang suddenly made a move, sending out a sword energy from afar, forcing Bu Youming two steps back.

As soon as Bu Youming's heels stabilized, the shaking of the mountain peak began to gradually subside.

In the next moment, Bu Ting's tomb slowly opened before our eyes, revealing a staircase leading directly underground.

Bu Youming was stunned for a long time before saying to himself, "The tomb, it's open?"

"What else?" Xiang Kai was the first to walk down the stairs.

Bu Youming followed behind him and said, "How did you know that Li Po's judgment was correct?"

Xiang Kai said, "The reason why your Bu family has been declining is because your ancestor lost the Tengshe (flying serpent) totem."

"The Bu family has always hoped to retrieve the totem, and so did Bu Ting. Perhaps, in Bu Ting's view, the descendants of the Bu family have not been able to retrieve the Tengshe totem, so they are not qualified to participate in the schemes of emperors. Therefore, Bu Ting set up this test, which is actually a test of snake nature, not the secret techniques of the Feng Shui masters."

"If it weren't for Hall Master Li's reminder about snake nature, I probably would have focused on the secret techniques of the Feng Shui masters."

Bu Youming looked at me, as if wanting to apologize, but he didn't say it, and just smiled at me.

This Bu Youming is quite interesting!

When we walked down from the secret passage, we saw a coffin suspended above a pool by iron chains in the distance.

Below the coffin was a lotus flower the size of a tabletop.

The pool water with the lotus flower blooming in it was crystal clear, and we could even see the bottom of the pool at a glance.

But that seemingly clear pool water made people feel that it was full of hidden dangers.

Xiang Kai looked up at the iron chains holding the coffin, "Old Bu, can you unlock the iron chains above?"

At this moment, I also noticed the strangeness of the iron chains.

The iron chains on top of the coffin were twisted into a sphere the size of a lantern. From my perspective, I couldn't tell how many chains there were.

Trying to open that ball of iron chains was undoubtedly like playing the game of "untangling a thread ball." Maybe something would go wrong, and the iron cable would break.

Ye Yang said, "The lotus flower below is a Lotus Snake mechanism!"

The Lotus Snake is a legendary ghost. Legend has it that its tongue is like a blooming lotus flower. Before the Lotus Snake preys, it will extend its tongue out of the water. If tourists just look at it from a distance, it's fine, but once they want to get closer to take a look, they will see a giant python underwater.

At that time, it would be too late to escape.

It is said that the Lotus Snake's method of hiding is extremely clever. Unless you get close to its tongue and look down from above, you can see its snake body coiled in the water.

Otherwise, no pupil technique can see the true face of the Lotus Snake from a distance!

I couldn't help but exclaim, "Such a big Lotus Snake?"

Ye Yang glanced at me helplessly, "I'm talking about the mechanism!"

"If the person who comes doesn't know how to unlock the lock, the coffin above will automatically smash onto the lotus flower, and the mechanism underwater will swallow the coffin like a giant python swallowing a person, and disappear into the ground."

"At that time, unless we blow up the mountain, we won't be able to find the coffin again."

After Ye Yang finished speaking, he pointed to the sky and said, "The inescapable net set up here will also be activated, and none of us will be able to escape."

Bu Youming looked at it for a long time and said, "I can't unlock that chain."

"That chain is too complicated. Unless a top expert from the Thieves' Sect comes, no one can unlock this lock."

"Thieves' Sect?" Xiang Kai couldn't help but frown!

Bu Youming said, "That's right, the Thieves' Sect. I heard that there is a puzzle in the Thieves' Sect called 'Thousand Thread Knot,' which is to let thieves find the end of the thread in a ball of tangled silk threads and unravel the thread ball. And it can't take more than the time it takes to burn a stick of incense."

"None of us have learned the secret techniques of the Thieves' Sect, so I'm afraid we can't unlock this lock."

"I understand!" I said, "Bu Ting himself is also a part of the Nine-Man Prison."

"Only when Bu Ting comes out can Ying Gou in the Nether Sea be released."

"Only when Ying Gou comes out can we enter the place where the corpse energy is like the sea and release the third person."

"Only when the third person comes out can the iron cable on top of Bu Ting's coffin be unlocked."

"What Wang Qiu and the others said about opening the Yang Wood earlier was just nonsense. They were digging out the third person below the secret passage."

Xiang Kai said, "Then the coffin is not Bu Ting. Bu Ting is the last person to complete the Nine-Man Prison. He must have hidden himself in the corpse energy cave."

"The third person should be in that coffin."

My face changed when I heard this, "That's bad!"
