Rebirth of the Totem Pole, I became a taboo

Xia Wanrong looked at Chen Yao and Xia Longhu in disbelief.

She couldn't believe that the handsome man in front of her was the ugly four-armed demon she had seen before.

I couldn't believe what Xia Longhu said.

She couldn't say anything about using Mingli to improve her strength. After all, Xia Longhu's identity was there and the matter had become a fact.

But why should Mingli be sent out again this time?
Over the years, could it be that this old ancestor couldn't see what Mingli had done for Daxia?
"Ancestor, why?"

As soon as Xia Chengtian walked out of the study, he saw Xia Wanrong holding Mingli and asked Xia Longhu this question.

His expression changed immediately.

With a flash, Xia Chengtian appeared beside Xia Wanrong.

Snapped!
A loud slap was heard and Xia Wanrong was stunned.

From childhood to adulthood, she had felt severity from Xia Chengtian, but never anger.

Today was the first time she saw anger in Xia Chengtian's eyes, and it was also the first time she knew that her father's hand could fall on her face.

"What are you talking about? Get back here!"

Xia Chengtian pulled Mingli out of Xia Wanrong's arms.

Xia Wanrong came back to her senses and looked at Mingli who was handed into Chen Yao's hands by Xia Chengtian. The reluctance in her eyes gradually dissipated and she finally calmed down.

Xia Wanrong, director general of the Evil Suppression Bureau, is back.

Chen Yao held Mingli by the scruff of the neck and looked at Xia Wanrong's departing back, feeling somewhat curious.

“Is this a cat slave?”

Chen Yao smiled and shook his hand, and Mingli's body was shaken apart and condensed into a seal again.

Looking at the Mingli Seal in his hand, Chen Yao sighed.

"I asked you to follow me, but you refused. Now you look... well behaved, haha."

Chen Yao started laughing as he spoke.

Xia Longhu and Xia Chengtian felt embarrassed when they heard this.

"When will your Excellency go to the other eight countries?"

Xia Longhu changed the subject and asked.

"The other eight countries? Tomorrow."

Chen Yao glanced at the sky and said.

"Then please move aside, I will have someone prepare accommodation and meals..."

Before Xia Longhu finished speaking, Chen Yao waved his hand.

"No, I'll come see you tomorrow."

After saying that, Chen Yao turned into a flame and disappeared on the spot. Xia Longhu and Xia Chengtian had no idea what Chen Yao meant.

……

Hongcheng is one of the cities owned by the Hong family, one of the three famous families in Daxia.

The current head of the Hong family, Hong Hegui, has five outstanding sons, whose names are named Ren, Yi, Li, Zhi and Xin respectively. Originally, many families in Daxia believed that the Hong family would rank first among the three famous families in the next hundred years because of these five sons.

But things did not go as planned. No one expected that two of the five sons of the Hong family would die in less than a month.

From five sons to three, the Hong family's reputation was no longer as high as before.

Those fence-sitter families that were originally still wavering either became even more wavering or directly joined the other two families, which made many people in the Hong family feel aggrieved.

But after all, it is one of the three famous families, and Hong Hegui is still strong and healthy. The Hong family will not cease to be a famous family just because two people died.

Not to mention that Hong Hegui had more than five sons. He also had five sons, namely Wen, Liang, Gong, Jian and Rang. The character in the middle of these five sons' names was no longer "天" (heaven), but "地" (earth).

That is, Hong Diwen, Hong Diliang, Hong Digong, Hong Dijian and Hong Dirang!

Although these five sons are not as good as Ren, Yi, Li, Zhi and Xin, they can still be called geniuses in other big families.

Originally, there should have been five sons: Loyalty, Filial Piety, Courage, Respect, and Integrity. However, Benevolence, Righteousness, Courtesy, Wisdom, and Trustworthiness had already emerged, so Hong Hegui was not reborn.

But it’s not possible now.

As a result, within just a few months, news spread that more than a dozen wives in the Hong family were pregnant.

The families to which these ladies belong are all expecting that the children will be boys, and they are hoping that the ladies can give birth to the children as soon as possible and receive a name from them!
now.

Hong Tianren and his third brother Hong Tianli are at the home of their fourth brother Hong Tianzhi.

The three of them dismissed the people around them.

"Big Brother, Third Brother, what are you doing here at this time?"

Hong Tianzhi looked at Hong Tianren and Hong Tianli, feeling confused.

Hong Tianzhi's strength is not the highest among the five, but his intelligence is definitely the best among the five.

So, when Hong Tianren came back from that encirclement and suppression, he found that Hong Tianren had changed.

Although Hong Tianren's behavior remained the same as before, Hong Tianzhi felt something was wrong.

Since then, Hong Tianzhi has been looking for where this awkward feeling comes from, but unfortunately, he has not found it.

As time went by, Hong Tianzhi could only regard this incident as the sequelae of Hong Tianren's injury during the encirclement and suppression, but this did not mean that he gave up observing Hong Tianren.

This time, Hong Tianren suddenly brought Hong Tianli to his house. Hong Tianzhi was surprised and a little alert.

"Haha, your third brother and I found something good and wanted to share it with you, the fourth brother."

Hong Tianren said with a smile, placing a box on the table in front of the three people.

Hong Tianzhi looked at the box and asked, "What is this?"

"This is what your eldest brother found in the Shiwandashan Mountains. It's very interesting."

Hong Tianli agreed with a smile.

"Is that so... Then let me see. Let me drive it?"

Hong Tianzhi looked at Hong Tianren and asked.

"It's all right."

Hong Tianren nodded and smiled, and Hong Tianli beside him also laughed along.

Hong Tianzhi felt something was wrong, but he didn't react for a while.

After thinking about it, he said to Hong Tianren: "Let the eldest brother do it."

"Haha, okay."

Hong Tianren laughed and opened the box.

Hong Tianzhi was originally still worried about whether it was something harmful to him, but when he saw that the thing in the box did not seem to be dangerous, he asked in confusion: "Is this... a lump of earth?"

Looking at the human-head-sized ball of dirt in the box, Hong Tianzhi couldn't tell what good stuff it was.

"Haha, I said Fourth Brother doesn't know him, right?"

Hong Tianren smiled to Hong Tianli standing beside him.

"I didn't expect that my fourth brother wouldn't recognize me."

Hong Tianli also sighed, which aroused Hong Tianzhi's curiosity.

After scanning with his divine sense and finding nothing unusual, Hong Tianzhi reached out and took the lump of earth out of the box.

"I have never seen this thing before. Can you tell me its name? I'll see if I know it."

“It’s called Vientiane.”

"Vientiane?"

The memories in Hong Tianzhi's mind flashed, but he couldn't find anything about Wanxiang and the clod of earth.

“Yes, it’s called Vientiane.”

"Brother, please forgive my limited knowledge. Could you please introduce me to you?"

Hong Tianzhi asked curiously.

"It's natural!"

Hong Tianren smiled and said slowly: "The so-called Wanxiang means all kinds of changes, just wait and see!"

Hong Tianren reached out and picked up the ball of earth, bringing it close to his head.

Then, the ball of earth covered Hong Tianren's head in the surprised gaze of Hong Tianzhi.

Then, Hong Tianren’s head turned into Hong Tianli.

"Haha, fourth brother, have you ever seen this thing?"

Looking at the head that was no different from Hong Tianli's, Hong Tianzhi even scanned it with his divine sense, but did not find anything wrong. He immediately clapped his hands and exclaimed: "What a good thing."

Hong Tianren stretched out his hand and grabbed his head, and the soil ball condensed again.

"There are still a lot of strange things like this in the Shiwandashan Mountains, and they are quite interesting."

As he spoke, Hong Tianren handed the clay ball to Hong Tianzhi. "Fourth brother, would you like to try it too?"

"it is good."

Hong Tianzhi took the ball of earth and slowly put it towards his head.

He has already thought of many ways to use the dirt ball, such as sneaking into other families, entering the wilderness, or pretending to be someone else to do something... huh?!
When the earth ball was still a palm's distance away from Hong Tianzhi, Hong Tianzhi stopped.

Thinking of the two indistinguishable faces of Hong Tianli just now, Hong Tianzhi suddenly remembered the abnormality he had sensed before.

His third brother Hong Tianli is a little abnormal today!
What if there is more than one soil ball?

Thinking of Hong Tianren's abnormal behavior after he came back, Hong Tianzhi seemed to understand something and was shocked.

If his guess was correct, then the two people in front of him were not his eldest brother and third brother.

Don't alert the enemy!

Just when Hong Tianzhi was looking for an opportunity to put the ball down, a face suddenly appeared on the side of the ball facing him.

"Stop dilly-dallying! Can you please hurry up?"

After saying that, to Hong Tianzhi's horror, the earth ball turned into a substance like quicksand and rushed towards his face.

A humming sound came from the room. Hong Tianren and Hong Tianli looked at Hong Tianzhi with a smile on their faces. After more than ten breaths, the sound of resistance disappeared.

Hong Tianzhi, who was lying motionless on the ground, suddenly twitched. Then he stood up and returned to the table.

"I'm so depressed. I finally found a good body. You don't know how I've been living these days!"

Hong Tianzhi said with a pompous expression on his face.

If anyone is familiar with Hong Tianzhi, they will definitely be shocked by his appearance.

Hong Tianzhi always appears to be a wise man to the outside world. Not to mention such an exaggerated expression, even when he laughs, he does it in a restrained manner.

"At least you are still a human being. I have always been a dog's head."

Hong Tianli said.

"Okay, remember that you are Hong Tianli now. If you are discovered, it doesn't matter if you are beaten to death, but don't implicate us."

Hong Tianren warned.

"I know, I know."

As Hong Tianzhi spoke, he put away the exaggerated expression on his face.

Hong Tianren nodded, and then said: "Since the three of us have successfully seized the body, it's time to talk about what happens next."

"What happened next?"

Hong Tianli asked.

"That old fellow Hong Hegui is very powerful. I'm afraid that even if we have a chance, we may not be able to succeed in taking over his body. Therefore, we have to continue to infiltrate the Hong family."

"We have already infiltrated Benevolence, Righteousness, Propriety, Wisdom and Trustworthiness. The next ones are Wenliang, Liang, Dutiful, Frugal and Reverent. Once we have infiltrated them, we will just wait! When Zhong, Xiao, Yong, Dutiful and Lian are born, we will directly seize their heads, and then when Hong Hegui holds them, we will launch an attack together!"

"If one doesn't work, I don't believe ten or a hundred won't work!"

Hong Tianren said viciously!

"Hehe, I like it."

Hong Tianzhi showed an obscene expression again.

"Fortunately, Wanxiang gave us the ability to split up before. Otherwise, I would just be Hong Tianren until I die, and then change to another one. This is also good."

Hong Tianren said.

"But why would Vientiane give us this ability? I don't understand."

"I also do not understand."

"If you can understand, then all things are no longer all things."

Hong Tianren sighed.

The three of them fell silent.

In their eyes, all things are both the existence that created them and the existence that makes them fear.

Compared to their way of playing house, Wanxiang, who wants to get everything he sees, is the most ruthless.

"Okay, let's stop here for today."

Hong Tianren said.

"Hehe, it just so happens that I can have some fun with my wife."

Hong Tianzhi said obscenely.

"You'd better tone it down."

Hong Tianren warned again.

But just after it and Hong Tianli stood up, they suddenly found something wrong.

Turning its head, it looked at another chair in the room.

There, there is a person sitting!

Cold sweat flowed down Hong Tianren's forehead. After the other two people found that something was wrong with Hong Tianren, they also saw that person.

Suddenly, the three of them dared not say a word.

They were not sure about the 'person' who was sitting in the room without them knowing.

It is said that he has occupied the bodies of Hong Tianren and others, but even Hong Tianren, who has been familiar with them for so long, can only exert 50% of his strength, not to mention Hong Tianzhi who has just changed his head and taken over other people's bodies.

"who are you?"

Hong Tianren swallowed and asked.

"Huh? It's over?"

Chen Yao smiled and said, "It doesn't matter who I am. What matters is who asked me to come."

"Who asked you to come?"

Hong Tianzhi asked.

"What do you think?"

"..."

The three were silent. Hong Tianren and Hong Tianli looked at each other and were about to launch an attack.

Boo! Boo!
Two heads fell to the ground, but Hong Tianzhi's body was intact because he was slow to react and did not take action.

Looking at the two headless bodies next to him, and then at the two heads rolling on the ground, Hong Tianzhi knelt down directly.

……

After half an hour.

Hong Tianzhi's room was already filled with all kinds of wine and food.

But the owner of this place, Hong Tianzhi, stood nearby as a servant.

"You guys are quite interesting. You directly took Hong Tianren's head. Who taught you to do this?"

Chen Yao asked while eating and drinking.

"No, no one taught me. I just think it's better to live this way. The Shiwan Mountains... are too dangerous."

Looking at Hong Tianzhi who was speaking, Chen Yao smiled again.

Chen Yao had previously learned from Wanxiang that there were three things he made in Daxia, and he was curious about what they were.

When he found it and took a look, he was stunned.

There are actually three heads!

What he didn't expect was that these three leaders were actually plotting to seize the head of the patriarch of the Hong family, one of the three famous families in Da Xia!
This is to overthrow Tiangang and control the Hong family!

Even Chen Yao could imagine that after they controlled the Hong family, they would use the name of marriage to send the separated heads to other families!
If we give them some time, I'm afraid the entire Daxia will be replaced by them, right?

Of course, this is the case without reaching the Dao realm.

Both Xia Longhu and Chen Yao could tell at a glance that these heads were different.

Fortunately, these three leaders did not take over the body of someone with the surname Xia, otherwise they would have died long ago.

"Okay, stop pretending to be dead. I'll stay one night and leave tomorrow."

"I don't care what you want to do, but remember not to go too far. Someone in the Xia family can see through your tracks. If you really want to be a leader for fun, I suggest you go to other countries. No one there should be able to see the problem with you guys."

After thinking about it, Chen Yao directly picked up Hong Tianren's head.

"Since you're here, I might as well give you something. Otherwise, if Wanxiang finds out, he'll think I'm stingy!"

As he spoke, Chen Yao imprinted the fire totem rune that was integrated with the essence of Taoism on Hong Tianren's forehead.
