Jiuli Tomb is located deep in the Miao King Cave. It is an isolated place with only one way in and out.
Hundreds of thousands of people watched as Qin Tiange and his three men left with Shi Helie and his son and entered the back mountains of Miao territory, where there was an ancient cave known as the Miao King Cave.
There are rumors that the Miao kings of all dynasties are buried there, but I don’t know whether it is true or not. But many Miao people know that deep inside the Miao King Cave is the entire Miao village’s forbidden area, the Jiuli Tomb.
"Brother, your life liquid is so effective. Mi Xi has fully recovered."
On the way, Long Xiaoqian's pretty face was filled with a happy smile, she held Mi Xi's little hand and walked with Qin Tiange.
Mi Xi, the future demon queen, has the head of a human and the body of a snake. Seeing her walking like a snake, Qin Tiange couldn't help but complain.
"Is she really a descendant of Nuwa or did she get some kind of bloodline power from the inheritance stone tablet?" Qin Tiange was curious and looked at Mi Xi beside him.
This little girl is about eighteen years old. She is slim and graceful, but the snake tail on her lower body looks a bit scary. The green snake scales have a faint colorful sheen, which is very mysterious.
"Thank you." Mi Xi glanced at Qin Tiange quietly, then quickly lowered her head and whispered thank you.
She knew that if Qin Tiange hadn't stepped forward, she would probably have been tortured to death by Shi Helie and his son, and would even have been hated and hated by countless people. It was terrifying to think about it.
Therefore, she looked at Shi Helie and his son who were locked in the iron cage with anger. It was these two people who suddenly killed her, severely injured her and then locked her in the cage.
"No need to thank me." Qin Tiange shook his head slightly, carrying the huge iron cage, and suddenly asked: "I'm very curious, how did you become like this?"
"Is it the ability obtained from the inheritance stone tablet?" Qin Tiange asked curiously.
Long Xiaoqian immediately turned her head and looked at Mi Xi, hoping she could explain. After all, it was really uncomfortable to see her only sister in Miao territory who could speak like this.
Mi Xi pursed her lips, shook her head in distress, and said: "I actually don't know, but it happened three days ago. At that time, I was washing clothes by the stream, and I felt some pain in my body, and it was extremely itchy, as if there was something in my body.
It’s like something has to be drilled out.”
"In the end, I fainted from the pain, and when I woke up, I looked like this. Shi Ban happened to see me at that time. Taking advantage of my panic, he attacked me directly, beat me seriously, and took me back.
They built an iron cage and locked me up." Mi Xi said, angrily staring at Shi Ban and his son in the iron cage.
Oh? Qin Tiange looked at her thoughtfully as he walked, feeling extremely surprised. This was really a spontaneous awakening of the ancient genetic power. In fact, it was just like the situation of Ye Xuan's previous Yan Emperor.
Awakening the ancient genetic power.
However, the power of their genes is different. Ye Xuan awakened the fire gene, while Mi Xi awakened an inexplicable ancient gene, causing her body to change drastically, becoming half human and half demon.
As of now, she has no control over her body at all. In other words, she still cannot control the power and cannot change back to her original appearance.
"Sister Xiaoqian, Brother Qin, do you think I am a monster?" A trace of fear flashed across Mi Xi's face, but she was actually very uneasy in her heart.
This change was so terrifying. She turned into a monster, with the head of a human and the body of a snake. It really scared her.
She was very afraid that she would be disliked by others. She was even worried that Long Xiaoqian, the eldest sister who had always taken care of her, would dislike her because of this.
"Nonsense, how can you be a monster?" Long Xiaoqian scolded her dissatisfiedly, touching her face with some distress, feeling quite helpless.
She didn't know how to comfort the little girl, but Qin Tiange smiled inexplicably, attracting their attention.
"Brother Qin, why are you laughing? Do you think I look terrible and ugly now?" Mi Xi said sadly with a sad face.
Qin Tiange couldn't laugh or cry, and explained: "Where are you thinking? I don't think there is anything wrong with your current appearance, and don't you think your current appearance is very similar to our oldest ancestor Nuwa in China?
?”
"Nuwa?" Mi Xi was stunned and had never thought about this question.
Long Xiaoqian suddenly realized, wasn't the ancestor Nuwa the head of a human and the body of a snake? Moreover, weren't Fuxi and Nuwa, the two ancestors of Chinese humanities, the heads of a human and the body of a snake?
I haven’t seen anyone saying that they hate the two ancestors, Nuwa and Fuxi, and no one dares to say that Fuxi and Nuwa are monsters?
Just kidding, if you dare to shout like this on the street and say that the two humanistic ancestors of China are monsters, you will definitely be beaten to death by many people.
"I guess you have awakened the genetic memory and certain abilities of your ancient ancestors, but you are not yet able to control this power. Therefore, you should not panic or be afraid. Instead, you should feel that this is an honor, coming from your ancestors.
Glory." Qin Tiange gently comforted the future Demon Queen, hoping to guide her inner hesitation and helplessness little by little.
In fact, this is not a big deal at all. Regardless of whether she has awakened the genetic power of the ancestor Nuwa, as long as she has the head of a human and the body of a snake, even if she is really a demon, she can be said to be a genetic descendant of the ancestor Nuwa. Who would doubt it?
"Yes, our ancestor Nuwa had the head of a human and the body of a snake. Mi Xi, you are not a monster, but a descendant of Nuwa." Long Xiaoqian immediately cheered excitedly.
At this time, Mi Xi woke up from her sluggish state, her face flushed and a little excited. Actually, she didn't care whether she was a descendant of Nuwa or not. What she cared about most was that as long as others didn't regard her as a monster, it would be fine.
Seeing Qin Tiange's expectant and admiring eyes, knowing that he didn't look down on or disgusted with her, was enough.
"These two guys, their brains are rusty. They probably forgot to grow wise when they were born. They actually used your work to do things that undermine the unity of the nation. It's really sad." Qin Tiange said, looking at the cage where he was being beaten.
Shi Ban and his son fainted.
These two people go out without any brains and do things without thinking. They stupidly want to destroy the unity of the nation and make themselves kings. It is really ridiculous.
"Brother, we are here."
At this time, Long Xiaoqian looked serious and pointed to a huge cave in the ravine in front, which was the Miao King Cave.
After entering the Miao King Cave and walking all the way down, the dark cave was filled with gloom and a disturbing atmosphere.
The Miao King Cave was originally a place for worshiping ancestors in the Miao territory, but few people dare to set foot in the deepest part of the Miao King Cave, which is the forbidden area of the Miao territory and the Jiuli Tomb.
The origin of the Jiuli Tomb can be traced back to the Warring States Period. It is said that the leader of the Miao nationality built a huge cemetery here and buried a small part of the bones of Chi You, the ancestor of Jiuli.
I don’t know if it is true or not, but this is the legend that has been passed down from generation to generation. As for whether it is true or not, naturally no one will verify it. Who dares to set foot in the forbidden land of Miao territory?
"Be careful, you will reach the Jiuli Tomb after passing the front."
An hour later, deep in the Miao King Cave, three figures walked warily into the dark cave in front, but there were oil lamps on both sides of the cave.
Long Xiaoqian took out a torch and lit it, lighting these oil lamps all the way. She didn't know why these oil lamps still burned with oil on them?
"Brother, I come here often. The rare ice silkworm was caught outside the forbidden area." Long Xiaoqian explained sheepishly.
It turns out that she often comes here, but she has never set foot in the Jiuli Tomb. She never dared to step into it. She just wandered around the periphery, and it was here that the ice silkworm was discovered and caught.
"That's it!" Qin Tiange nodded, looking at the huge cave passage, which seemed to be naturally formed, but also had traces of artificial excavation.
The Miao King Cave is actually the only passage leading to a huge underground tomb. It has been guarded by the Miao kings for generations. After death, he was buried in the cave. Over time, it was called the Miao King Cave.
"Is this the Jiuli Tomb?"
At this time, the three of them came to a stop in front of an underground gate. It was a huge stone gate, ten meters high and eight meters wide, with densely carved strange patterns.
On the stone gate, four ancient characters are carved. According to Long Xiaoqian, this is the oldest barbaric character in China. It is said that Chi You created the character.
"Jiuli Ancestor Tomb!"
Qin Tiange murmured, it was these four ancient characters engraved on it, Jiuli Zu Tomb.
He looked at the closed door, suddenly curious, and asked: "You said that the Jiuli Tomb is the burial place of the witch sacrifices of the past generations, then who carried the bones of the witch sacrifices in?"
Long Xiaoqian looked complicated and explained: "Actually, every generation of witch priests has an instinct of self-prediction. The day before their life is about to be exhausted, they will sense that their life span is approaching, so they go forward silently and alone.
Come to Jiuli Tomb, open the tomb and enter it to wait for the final time of death."
This is a bit astonishing. Every generation of Miao shamans can predict the moment when they are about to die. Finally, they silently pack up their belongings, go to Jiuli Tomb, enter it alone and close it to wait for death.
Ka! Rumble
I saw Long Xiaoqian put her hand on a handprint pattern in front of the stone door. Immediately, the entire stone door trembled and rumbled open.
The Jiuli Tomb with thousands of years of history was finally opened in front of Qin Tiange, revealing its mysterious veil.
"Let's go!"
Long Xiaoqian looked serious and bowed deeply to the tomb before leading Qin Tiange and Mi Xi into this forbidden area in Miao territory.
The three of them led Shi Helie and his son into Jiuli's tomb. As soon as they stepped into it, the stone door suddenly closed with a rumble.
"Not good!" Long Xiaoqian's complexion changed slightly, and she suddenly realized that it was not good.
The moment they saw the stone door closing, the three of them had a bad feeling. The stone door of Jiuli Tomb could be opened from the outside, but it could close on its own.
Qin Tiange squinted his eyes, looked at the closed stone door, and said: "This should be to seal the tomb to prevent those shamans who are dying but don't want to die here from getting out."
"I'm sorry, I forgot this. What should I do now?" Long Xiaoqian's face changed slightly, and she regretted that she had forgotten this.
Mi Xi's little face looked a little nervous, but Qin Tiange was the only one who was extremely calm. He comforted him: "Don't worry, a mere stone gate can't stop me. Don't worry."
Qin Tiange is not worried, this stone gate can't stop him, not to mention ordinary stones, even the steel gate can't stop him.
"Let's go, I really want to see what is so mysterious about Jiuli's tomb."
With a hint of smile, Qin Tiange turned around and walked with a huge iron cage on his shoulders. This is the Jiuli Ancestral Tomb, which is an extremely huge underground world.
