The Miao King's tomb you led the southern major sects to is his tomb, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You also deliberately left quite a few clues inside. If it weren't for this, I wouldn't have spared your lives today.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the old man heard this, he suddenly raised his head to look at Li Miao, and a look of joy appeared on his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sir, sir, did you also enter that Miao King's tomb? Were the clues we left discovered by you!?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who, who are you?

It also earned you a life.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Speaking of this, Li Miao suddenly paused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rubbing his fingers unconsciously, Li Miao thought for a moment and said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Speaking of which, there is one place I let go and didn't pay attention to for a while.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The coffin in the Miao King's tomb is empty. There are traces of fingernail scratching inside, but no corpse.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Miao looked at the old man and frowned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You don't want to say that the Miao King's tomb is not a suspicious tomb. The Miao King died and resurrected, and crawled out of the coffin?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the old man said \"yes\", Li Miao would immediately slaughter him and then go ask someone else.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No other reason, if a person who had been dead for hundreds of years could be resurrected, then this Da Shuo would have to change its style completely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Reality is not a storybook, any thing as long as it is known by people will slowly integrate into the rules of this society's operation. A \"resurrection\" is enough to change everything. That Da Shuo could not possibly be like this now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The simplest point, if there really was resurrection, then this world should still be surnamed \"Ying\", not \"Zhu\". The national title should also be \"Da Qin\", not \"Da Shuo\".\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old man smiled bitterly for a while.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, and no.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Miao King is indeed dead, but he also indeed exists now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Miao raised his hand and pointed to the old man's head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You are confessing now, not telling a story. If you say these cloudy words again, I will go and ask the next one.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, yes. Sir, I just don't know how to explain it for a while.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Miao King is dead, no one can be resurrected, this is beyond doubt. But, the Gu insect he left behind back then is still alive. After the other Gu insects in the Miao King's body died, this Gu insect controlled the Miao King's corpse, crawled out of the coffin, and walked out of the tomb. Following the scent of the Miao King's bloodline, it found us.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old man told it slowly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Miao King I mentioned is my two clansmen who, after being parasitized by this Gu insect, even their skulls were invaded. Although they don't have the Miao King's memory, their personality and behavior gradually became more and more like the Miao King back then.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The first one is called Gepu Duo, the second one is called Gepu Qi.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Gepu Duo has died, and the one who inherited her Gu insect is the 'that one' we mentioned, and also the current Miao King, Gepu Qi.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Miao heard it more and more familiar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Possession? Soul travel?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Gepu Qi? How come this name sounds familiar.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Isn't that the name of Master Yongjie's wife before he became a monk?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking of this, Li Miao asked again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What is the relationship between Ji Tianrui and Ji Tianrui and these two Miao Kings?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the old man heard this, he smiled bitterly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sure enough, sir guessed it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That's right, the disaster of our Miao people is all because of this bullshit Miao King.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The two Miao Kings before and after are the mothers of the two Ming Cult leaders before and after.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The first Miao King Gepu Duo gave birth to Ji Tianrui. After she died, the Gu insect parasitized Gepu Qi and gave birth to Ji Tianrui.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"To some extent, they are all children of the Miao King, siblings.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked into the distance, as if he was recalling something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fifteen years ago, it was because of Gepu Duo's order that we Miao people had to wade into the muddy water of the Ming Cult, resulting in our current situation. And now, it is also because of Gepu Qi's daughter that our Miao people have fallen to the brink of extinction.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What kind of bullshit ancestor, what kind of human god... our lives are also lives, born naked, what did we owe them, to pay with our lives!?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old man's face was distorted, and he roared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Miao twisted his fingers, pondered for a moment, and realized.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So it is.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No wonder the traps you made in the Miao King's tomb were awkward, wanting to kill but being soft-hearted, and secretly leaving clues. Because you were forced to be a duck on the shelf, and didn't want to get involved in the Ming Cult's mess at all.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"However, since you don't want to get involved, why don't you just kill that Miao King, surrender to the imperial court, but instead remind them in this twisted way?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old man showed an extremely ugly smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sir, how could we not want to.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That Gu insect of the Miao King, as long as she moves her mind, she can control all Gu insects, and devouring the master is even more at her thought.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We can only do some tricks secretly.
