Book 3: Chapter 51: Great Demon Black Pool

Poker-Face looked at the dark spot and said, "This thing is called the Great Demon Black Pool."

I had never heard of this thingthe four Chinese characters were all in my knowledge blind spotbut I still paused before asking, "Which four characters are they?"

After Poker-Face explained it to me, I glanced at Fatty and asked why this name sounded a bit like a name from Journey to the West.New novel chapters are published on

Poker-Face certainly wouldnt explain it to mehe was earnestly examining the dark spot on the mural as if there was a pattern on itso Fatty said, "Why does Mongolian culture make people feel that its magnanimous and brave rather than mysterious? Its because the pronunciation of their names is done in a relatively unrestrained manner. For example, Bateer and Hudeer make you feel that people with these names are tall and strong, but King Wannu sounds very evil. Thats why Mongolian cultures naming conventions hardly make you think that this place is evil. The Great Demon Black Pool is already a very evil name."

"What the hell is this, a black pool?" I asked Poker-Face.

He nodded and gave a brief explanation, "In Mongolian culture, this demon is an ancient female python corpse."

As the name suggested, the Great Demon Black Pool was the pool where the giant ancient female python corpse was located. The Mongolians believed that the ancient python corpse lived in a black pool of water.

The ancient python corpse was the only Mongolian symbol that I was familiar with, and in the earliest days, it was said to be a multi-headed python spirit. The ancient python corpse not only appeared in a large number of Mongolian legends, but also in the stories of the Tu ethnic group and other nationalities.

The biggest feature of the ancient python corpse was that unlike most snake spirits in other cultures, it basically appeared as a male. And the ancient female python corpse was originally called the Demon Mother Corpse.

"Is this a kind of worship of ancient python corpses?" Fatty asked. He was about to keep going, but I quickly stopped him. I actually knew this. Mongolians absolutely did not worship ancient python corpses.

But what did this black pool on the wall mean? Wasnt this an imperial tomb? Why was there a black pool here?

But that wasnt the case here. Instead, the black pool appeared on the side.

This kind of godly worship should be very important, but it was only placed on the side. So in that case, what was the mural on the wall behind the coffin? Did Shen Qianjue describe it to me?

I couldnt seem to remember, but my curiosity was piqued. Was it something more important than the black pool?

This asymmetrical setup actually wasnt very comfortable in terms of aesthetics, so what was the reason for it? Did this happen because this ethnic group wasnt very particular about art? Or was it because of some profound meaning that I didnt know about?

Poker-Face was still staring at the dark spot, so I motioned to him to ask if we could go to the coffin. The time had come.

But Poker-Face shook his head and suddenly pulled me and Fatty back a step so that we were further away from the dark spot.

"What's the matter?" The atmosphere had suddenly turned very bad.

"Use your peripheral vision to take a look," he ordered me.

I turned my head and looked at the dark spot out of the corner of my eye. At this time, I almost peed my pants.
