The court lackeys of the eight-hour workday

Chapter 156 Let’s talk after the fight
Several people were in a panic for a moment, but the old voice sighed helplessly.

"I don't want to die, but what can I do?"

"Even if we die, we must leave a way for our descendants to survive!"

"The daughter of 'that person' has brought a few great witches to Shuntian Prefecture... This time, the imperial court will definitely be determined to destroy us. With 'that person' here, at least we have some capital to maneuver."

Several people were silent.

After a while, one of them said through gritting his teeth.

"Why? What a bullshit Miao King, what a bullshit ancestor! He's been dead for hundreds of years, and he still wants us to be filial sons and grandsons and pay for his life!"

"We were born naked, but how come we are in debt for no apparent reason? What kind of world is this? What kind of logic is this!"

"This damn witchcraft has been passed around, it's better to just destroy it!"

"Shut up!"

The old man shouted.

"Without the witches, how can we survive?!"

"Drinking poison to quench thirst, at least it can temporarily prevent you from dying of thirst!"

Several people sighed, and finally the old man made the final decision.

"That's it. We've given our lives to him. We only hope he can protect our descendants."

"Let's go, let's unblock him now."

Footsteps sounded and reached the door.

The door opened, revealing an old face with a heavy look on its face.

But he was suddenly startled by Li Miao, who was standing at the door with his arms folded and smiling.

"!!!"

"Hey, everyone, are you done chatting?"

Li Miao waved his hand with a kind smile, and a streak of blood flowed from his gloves.

"After you finish talking, talk to me for a while."

--------

"Master, please wait for me. My martial arts skills are not that good. I can't keep up with you!"

An Ziyang used his Qinggong skills and barely fell behind Yongjie, already out of breath.

His martial arts were originally acquired through natural resources, and his internal strength was only slightly stronger than that of a second-rate martial artist. In addition, he was covered in hidden weapons, which weighed dozens of kilograms in total, making it even more difficult for him to endure long distances.

Yongjie frowned when he heard this and turned to look at An Ziyang.

"Donor, with your martial arts foundation, this shouldn't happen."

"Lust is like a knife scraping at the bones, it is the most damaging to the foundation. You still need to pay more attention to it in your daily life in order to achieve something."

Yongjie could naturally see that An Ziyang had kidney deficiency.

Then he became more and more dissatisfied with An Ziyang, and he couldn't even explain where this dissatisfaction came from.

An Ziyang smiled innocently and nodded in agreement, but he was secretly complaining in his heart.

"You stinky monk, do you really think you're such a big shot? Are you showing off in front of me, the young master?"

"Isn't it just to coax your daughter? She is only a few years old, is she really on guard against me? If you don't thank me, it's fine, but you deliberately make things difficult for me. I will definitely report you to Master Li!"

However, both of them were not very satisfied with each other, just one showed it on his face, and the other showed it in his heart.

After Yongjie received Li Miao's message, he immediately set off for Miaojiang. He didn't even ride a horse, but traveled day and night, which made An Ziyang very tired.

Right now, Yongjie has no intention of slowing down.

Seeing this, An Ziyang rolled his eyes and started a conversation, trying to slow down Yongjie's progress.

"Master, before you became a monk, you were 'Optimus Prime'?"

"If we count the dates, the time when your reputation in the martial arts world took a sharp turn for the worse coincides with Ling'er's age... So it was for her that you suddenly started collecting all kinds of treasures in the martial arts world like crazy?" Yongjie couldn't help but pause, and after a long while, he nodded.

"Yes."

An Ziyang suddenly realized.

"I often deal with the Tang Sect, so I am very familiar with poisons. That day when I was with Xiao Ling'er, after I returned to the guest room at night, I actually found that the anti-poison device on my body had been triggered."

"Xiao Ling'er...was she poisoned when she was young?"

Yongjie shook his head.

"No. This poison was obtained from her mother."

"The Miao people's poison."

"In the past few years, it was my master who used his inner strength to suppress the poison, which allowed Ling'er to grow up normally. A big reason why my master passed on his position to me was to give me his inner strength so that I could save Ling'er. Otherwise, how could I, a monk who changed my job halfway, be qualified to sit in this position of abbot."

"It was on the way to Miaojiang to find a solution to Ling'er's poison that I met Lord Li."

An Ziyang was silent for a moment before continuing to ask.

"Um, Madam Ling..."

"She was a Miao and a witch. After giving birth to Ling'er, she left without saying goodbye and never came back. So I just told Ling'er that she was dead, and stopped thinking about her. It was better than waiting day after day."

"Then Ling'er..."

"It's okay. Before Master passed away, he told his fellow disciples that they would suppress Ling'er's poison for me. It won't be a problem if I leave for a while."

"Madam Ling..."

"I don't know her origin or age, or why she left Miaojiang or why she suddenly disappeared. I don't know whether she is dead or alive now."

Yongjie kept walking, but there was a hint of sadness in his eyes.

"At the end of the day, all I knew was her name."

"Her name is Ge Puqi."

--------

"An outsider broke in!"

Before the old man in front of Li Miao could speak, someone behind him suddenly shouted.

All of a sudden, there was a noise around.

Hundreds of shadows suddenly jumped out from the depressions in the stone wall and swarmed towards this side.

Li Miao took a quick look and saw everything in it.

There were people, tigers, pigs, wolves, and countless snakes, insects, rats, and ants. Several great witches chanted something, driving these poisonous beasts and insects towards Li Miao.

The people in front of Li Miao were all great witches. They all started reciting incantations at the same time. Countless poisonous insects crawled out from all over their bodies and covered the ground in a moment. They raised their mouthparts and bared their teeth at Li Miao.

Honestly speaking, it looks quite intimidating. If any of the major martial arts sects came out in full force, they would be at a loss when seeing this scene.

However, to Li Miao, the threat was not as great as the five hundred Gu soldiers outside Tai'an City at that time.

After all, if witchcraft was really invincible, we wouldn't be trapped in this small area of Miaojiang.

First of all, refining a Gu beast or Gu soldier that can rival a first-rate master takes much more time and resources than training a first-rate master, but the number accumulated over the years is somewhat intimidating; secondly, these things are not fast and their minds are unclear. They can only suppress ordinary masters by relying on their thick skin and flesh and the poison of Gu. But if they encounter the best masters, they can't catch up or defend themselves, so they are of no use.

Facing Li Miao... they can only pray that they are not shattered so completely.

Li Miao chuckled softly.

"Well, now my words don't carry much weight."

"I'll show you my skills first, and then we can talk."

After saying that, Li Miao turned over, jumped up, and then suddenly fell down.

Peng! ! !
In an instant, the ground within a radius of several feet collapsed and blood and flesh flew everywhere.
