The court lackeys of the eight-hour workday

Chapter 171 Parting ways
When An Ziyang heard what Li Miao said, he immediately turned his gaze to the wall that Li Miao had been looking at before.

"Martial Arts Zen, Wedding Dress Magic."

"If you want to use its strength, you must first blunt its edge... What is this!?"

"The secret of the Wedding Dress Magic Skill!"

Li Miao nodded: "Yes. And it is the most authentic original one."

"You can write it down and try to practice it yourself later. Some of my subordinates are cruel, some are vicious, and some are stupid. They all have somewhat extreme personalities. Practicing this is courting death."

"You are the only one who knows how to persist and let go. Perhaps you can achieve something great."

An Ziyang was pleasantly surprised for a moment and quickly bowed to Li Miao to express his gratitude.

"Master, you——"

"Shut up, shut up. I don't have time to listen to you singing Lotus Falls."

Li Miao raised his hand to stop him.

"I was born in Shuntian Prefecture, and I get a headache when I hear your Beijing dialect. You settled in Quanzhou, where did you learn this Beijing dialect?"

"Master, we are originally from Beijing. Later, we traveled around and settled in Quanzhou..."

"Okay, okay, just learn it while I look around."

Li Miao asked An Ziyang to learn the "Wedding Dress Magic Skill" by himself. He walked to a row of bookshelves, glanced left and right, pulled out a book with the most serious spine damage, and opened it to check.

This is a notebook with two kinds of handwriting on it.

One is madness, the other is elegance.

Li Miao flipped through a few pages, but looked up at the original copy of the Wedding Dress Magic Skill on the stone wall, then lowered his head and flipped through a few pages of his notes to compare them again.

"It can absorb the poisonous insects of the realm, the magical power of wedding clothes."

“The root is here.”

Li Miao took out a few more notebooks, compared the handwriting and tone on them, and roughly determined the identities of the owners of the two handwritings.

Then, Li Miao put down his notebook, walked to Yang Lixuan's body, and looked him up and down.

He killed someone, repaired the body, and sealed it with wax in his lair. I don't know whether I hate Ji Tianrui or love him, but he is a bit crazy anyway.

Li Miao had no intention of trying to find out the dead man's thoughts. He raised his hand and made a claw, digging directly into the chest of Yang Lixuan's corpse.

After groping inside for a while, he pulled his hand out.

In his palm was Yang Lixuan's dried heart.

This heart was densely covered with flesh and blood, and some black tentacles. It was exactly the same as Zuo Lishan's heart.

After reading it, Li Miao threw the heart on the ground.

He already knew almost everything that Ji Tianrui wanted to tell him.

Fifty or sixty years ago, the Miao King Gu worm escaped from the tomb and parasitized the first Miao King. At the same time, Yang Lixuan also came to Miaojiang.

His purpose should also be to explore the way above heaven and man.

Like Yun Zelin, after he had perfected the Heavenly Man Realm, he also found that he could not make any progress. So he decided to take the outer path to the mountain.

The target chosen by Yang Lixuan was the art of witchcraft.

After he met the Miao King, they hit it off immediately and studied the combination of martial arts and witchcraft together. The two notes on the notebook belonged to Yang Lixuan and the first generation Miao King.

In short, after a few years, the two came up with two results.

One is the Gu soldiers.

Second, it combines the magic of the wedding dress with the art of witchcraft, and can absorb and store poisonous insects at the celestial realm.

The Miao King does not know martial arts, and the Miao area has no connection with the Central Plains martial arts world. How could the Miao people have inherited the magical power of wedding dress?
Because this magical wedding dress was originally a collection of the Ming Cult, it was brought to Miaojiang by Yang Lixuan.

Yang Lixuan must have tried to do the same as Yun Zelin, planting the poisonous insect into other celestial beings and then transplanting it into himself, in an attempt to break through the realm of three-way integration. This heart is proof of this.

But it is obvious that he did not succeed, or he was not satisfied with this "unrighteous" state.

So, the two combined the two results and created a final "finished product".

That is Ji Tianrui.

Previously in Qilu, the poisonous insects in Zuo Lishan and Lan Lechuan were all food that Ji Tianrui had left to store for himself, waiting to be used when he needed it. Ji Tianrui's situation was even worse than theirs.

Since he was born, he has been Yang Lixuan's reserve food.

Having inherited Yang Lixuan's bloodline and having been carefully nurtured by the previous Miao King, his body is naturally in perfect harmony with Yang Lixuan.

This also means that the realm that Ji Tianrui has cultivated can be grafted onto Yang Lixuan without any damage in the future, and there will be no "improper" situation like that of Yun Zelin.

Therefore, Ji Tianrui must kill Yang Lixuan.

Because if Yang Lixuan didn't die, he would be the one to die.

After Yang Lixuan's death, Ji Tianrui took over the Ming Cult and naturally colluded with the former Miao King, which led to the Ming Cult rebellion fifteen years ago.

Fifteen years ago, the former Miao King and Ji Tianrui died. The current Miao King gave birth to Ji Tianrui with an unknown father. Ji Tianrui inherited the Ming Cult martial arts that Yang Lixuan left in Miao territory, and replaced Ji Tianrui as the leader of the Ming Cult.

Until today.

At this point, all the questions before Ji Tianrui appeared have been answered.

Although it is still unclear why Ji Tianrui led Li Miao all the way to uncover the truth of that year, it was clear from her expression that she wanted to tell Li Miao everything.

As for the remaining questions, Li Miao estimated that they could only be answered after meeting Ji Tianrui.

At this time, An Ziyang had already memorized the Wedding Dress Skill silently. After confirming that he had memorized it clearly, he turned to look at Li Miao.

"Master, I'm done."

"I'm almost there too."

Li Miao nodded.

So the two jumped out of the cave, returned to the pupa chamber, and found the eternal ring.

At this time, Yongjie had regained consciousness. Although his face was pale and his hands and feet were blue, he was able to get up and walk.

"Thank you very much, two donors."

Yongjie leaned down and bowed earnestly to the two of them.

An Ziyang just kept refusing, but Li Miao accepted the gift of eternal ordination without any hesitation.

After some discussion, the three of them turned around and found the great witches from the twelve sects.

Li Miao and Yong Jie watched here while An Ziyang returned to the ground through the secret passage and brought back several people from major sects who were guarding outside the village.

Li Miao handed the people from the twelve sects over to Lao Qifeng to deal with. He then picked out a few great witches, knocked them out and held them in his hands. The three of them then turned around and left.

When they reached the ground, the three of them stood in the forest and looked at each other.

"Master, what should we do next?"

After obtaining the magical power of the wedding dress, An Ziyang has put himself in the right position as a subordinate and began to take the initiative to ask Li Miao about his next plan.

Yongjie bowed to Li Miao.

"Donor, I am too injured. I have to suppress the poisonous insects and go back to Shaolin to check on Ling'er. I am afraid I cannot go to Shuntianfu to seek revenge on the Ming Cult."

"Master, go ahead. I'll bring a few Mingjiao leaders to you later. The living are more important than the dead. Don't worry about them."

So Yongjie said goodbye, turned around and left, returning to Shaolin.

Li Miao looked at An Ziyang.

"You, go to Shuntian Prefecture to identify the people. Take these great witches with you to Shuntian Prefecture, and keep these notes of the Miao King. When you get to Jinyiwei, tell them my name and hand over the people and things to my adopted daughter."

An Ziyang nodded and immediately asked Li Miao.

"Master, aren't you going to Shuntian Prefecture? Aren't the Ming Cult thugs going to Shuntian Prefecture to cause trouble?"

Li Miao smiled grimly.

"I don't have the habit of starting a fight once I get to a place."

"You go to Shuntian Prefecture first. I'll chase them along the official road and see if I can stop the Ming Cult people along the way."

"Kill as many as you can. We can't put them all in Shuntian Prefecture."
