305 is different

en he heard this—he definitely knew something!My brother isn't really interested in these emotional entanglements. He shrugged and said, "Well, investigating is the police's job, so I won't ask too mu...The corpse-raisers' hometown is in Xiangxi, where rivers flow down from the western highlands and rush eastward across the borders.

In the beliefs of the Miao people's ancestors, the concept of a Ghost Country was not widespread. It existed mainly in areas like Dongting Lake, Fuling, and the Yunnan-Myanmar border, encompassing a few provinces at most.

It is traditionally said that the Miao people are descendants of Chi You. Before, it was common to say they were descendants of the Yanhuang lineage, but this saying is gradually being downplayed by official sources because the ancestors of the Chinese people are not limited to only the Yan and Huang tribes.

Chi You was also an outstanding tribal leader, one of the Three Primordial Ancestors, revered as the God of War and the Commander-in-Chief.

He once defeated the Flame Emperor. The Flame Emperor united with the emperor to attack again, but Huangdi "fought nine times and never won," and the city didn't fall for three years. The "Fish Dragon River Chart" also records that Huangdi was unable to defeat Chi You, and finally, relying on his "legitimate" status, he asked for help from the Nine Heavens Xuan Nu. Finally, in the Battle of Zhilu, he borrowed the power of the gods to defeat Chi You.

According to the traditional custom of victors and vanquished, Chi You was subsequently depicted as a ferocious and terrifying embodiment. The people of Chi You were repeatedly marginalized and forced to migrate southward constantly.

Later, when the world descended into chaos, the Yellow Emperor painted a picture of Chi You on his banners to intimidate everyone. The people believed that Chi You was immortal and would eventually return to serve the Yellow Emperor. Therefore, no one dared to rebel.

In recent years, there has been a deliberate shift away from emphasizing the Han and Huang terms, with increasing support for the "Three Patriarchs of China" memorial ceremony organized by the people. This demonstrates a sincere approach to history and serves as a way to unite the nation.

Historians have been debating the relationship between Chi You and the Jiu Li, San Miao, and Dong Yi tribes. Many viewpoints believe that Chi You was the leader of these tribes, and in modern descendants, Chi You is revered as an ancestor by the Han, Miao, Yao, and Qiang peoples.

The Miao people have long regarded Chi You as their ancestor, and their way of thinking is also characterized by a fierce disposition.

Even women dared to love and hate, able to be both tender and fierce. This elder sister initially yelled at Dragon Little Brother, confident he would soften his heart. However, when the Grand Elder coldly uttered "Sinking Pond," she was frightened into tears.

"There used to be a sacrificial ritual here, involving falling pits and sunken pools." Jiang Qiyun watched coldly from the sidelines, the outside world seeming like two different realms compared to us.

Outside, there was a solemn and dreadful scene, with cries of sorrow piercing the air.

But inside, it was eerily silent.

He explained things to me in a nonchalant way, watching the outside scenery with cold eyes. I even felt myself drifting away from it, as if I were separated from the world outside.

"...Ancient people revered heaven, earth, the sun, the moon, water, fire, their ancestors and elders, and unknown forces. The highest respect they could offer was to their own lives. In the past, many women were given in marriage to mountain gods as a form of sacrifice."

"Marry How could I marry"

"The mountain god is also a deity and has its own rules and regulations. How could it possibly accept these ignorant beliefs Some women were abandoned by their tribes in caves, and many died. There are often mournful cries and whimpers echoing through the deep caves. Occasionally, some people crawl out alive, but fear and darkness drive them mad, and they are said to have been taken as wives by the god..."

He spoke softly, these sounded like stories, but they were actually true events from the past.

Since there are mountain gods to be worshipped, there must also be water gods... The terrain here allows for countless deep pits and caves beneath the water, giving rise to the notion of a 'water god' residing within them.

Jiang Qiyun's smile was cold and clear, with a hint of mockery.

"Mu Xia Qiao, these karmic debts have nothing to do with you. Don't forget the family precepts of your home. Other people's karma is their own business. You just stay put honestly and don't overthink things or try to save them."

"...Oh." I'm not stupid, I wouldn't try to persuade people to abandon their beliefs that have lasted for millennia.

The hardest thing in the world is to get your ideas into other people's heads.

So it's best to remain peaceful and mindful of one's own karmic hindrances.

We returned to that secluded village, deep in the mountains. At night, the village was usually dark, but now every household had lights burning.

Many people.

Many who had been rolling around in the "colorful world" outside rushed back.

For these people, this village is their “hometown.” Hearing that someone stole a Corpse King and betrayed Long Xiaoge, these people were outraged.

They stood silently, torches held high, watching as Long Xiaoge and the Grand Elder disappeared into the distance. A heavy silence filled the air, pregnant with suppressed rage.

My elder sister was tied up with five ropes and gagged. She had foreseen her fate, but instead of passing out, she glared at the people present with venomous eyes.

She is so silly.

If one has done wrong, they should find ways to make amends. Yet, she keeps adding to her karmic burdens, making mistake after mistake. Will she have a good ending like this

No matter how cold-hearted Long Xiaoge was to her, he didn't actually owe her anything. She had been betrayed with this green hat placed upon her head, and on top of that, he attempted to threaten and escape after being caught.

How should Long Xiaoge let her off the hook

Moreover, she knew how to cast spells like the Nail-Head Seven, letting her go might result in her turning around and biting back.

Jiang Qiyun kept me from following those villagers to the spot where they were going to drown in the pond.

He pulled me to stand on the third-tier platform of Miao Wang City. I looked down at the dense fire torches and was terrified.

"Sometimes, mortals may appear like a loose collection of individuals, but they can be tightly bound together by hatred and self-interest."

I purse my lips, not quite agreeing with his statement: “It's not just about hatred and interests, there's also emotion.”

"Emotions They're the most unreliable..." He shook his head, smiling.

I wasn't able to go to the place where he was submerged. My brother went, and when he came back, he frowned and said, "Little Dragon might be injured."

"What's wrong" I asked with some concern.

"It's heartbreaking, he isn't as cold and heartless as he appears on the surface... That sister of his was sealed with nine orifices, naked and bound, with several large stones dragging her down, pushed into a bottomless chasm..."

My brother sighed: "I couldn't bear to watch any longer and was about to leave, but everyone around me knelt down and kowtowed. I couldn't help but glance back, and I saw blood blossoms on the water's surface, something churning... There was their 'Water God' in the Heaven Pit."

"What, what water god!"

“It should be a fairy.” My brother shook his head.

He used honorifics, indicating that thing was terrifying.

The "water immortals" in the water should be pythons. They are cold-blooded, lustful, and lurk at the bottom of deep pools. When they encounter food, they strangle and swallow it whole.

My brother said with lingering fear: "I heard that in the old days, a Miao king had many concubines. These Miao women were bold and extroverted, with few being gentle and submissive. Ironically, the Miao kings were mostly workaholics who were more interested in corpses and poisons than women. Those concubines who couldn't stand loneliness were thrown into the insect pit as food, serving as a warning to other women."

He sighed and said, "There's no way to plead for her. She's another woman blinded by love. Who knows how happy she is being coaxed by Si Tu Lin... She kidnapped you with a 'death note', forcing everyone to the point of wanting to kill her... Who isn't afraid of her revenge Of course, the only way to be at ease is to have her killed. What a stupid woman..."

At dawn, a sullen-faced Long Xiaoge knocked on my door. Jiang Qiyun looked at him coldly. He bowed his head and said, "Honorable God, may I have a few words with Mu Xiaqiao alone"
