The Ninth Lady is a rebellious person.

Chapter 186: Peeling off the cocoon
Gong Qi could no longer remain calm after being mocked and ridiculed by Pia. Just as he was about to retort, the other party spoke again.

"Moreover, it doesn't take a hundred years for a zombie to appear. If, as the fellow Taoist in the book said, a person is tortured to death, the person's vicious and resentful aura will be extremely strong, and the resentment will rise to the sky, and he will become a fierce ghost. The soul is also sealed, so it will be even more vicious and resentful. If it were you, would you put all your strength into absorbing the evil aura to nourish yourself? Then the time it takes to become a vicious zombie would be shortened. If you have a lucky encounter, it is estimated that it will take ten years or even less."

Lang Jiuchuan's face became even uglier after hearing this.

This is not impossible.

Apia said, "I went to see Miss Qi's body. The two bloody holes on her neck were consistent with being bitten by zombies' fangs."

Gong Qi looked over. Although Qi Si's body had not been buried yet, it had already been placed in the coffin. How could he see it?
“But if the zombie has already appeared, it doesn’t completely fit the hexagram I once predicted…” Lang Jiuchuan looked at the book again, the evil hermaphrodite.

Her eyes were dull, and she said, "Could it be that the hexagram indicates a hermaphrodite like this, where I gave birth to myself?"

Apia: “!”

Gong Qi: “…”

What a weird statement.

Apia coughed and said, "In fact, you can imagine it as a silkworm pupa, shedding its shell and transforming into a butterfly, completing a gorgeous metamorphosis. Before that, he naturally needs someone to nurture the fetus for him, so that before the fetus matures, his spirit can escape from the fetus and be born into the world, and this will not even be backfired by the law of cause and effect."

"It's just like the reincarnation of a little ghost I encountered before." Lang Jiuchuan thought of the mother and son ghosts of the Ou family. Isn't the reincarnation of that little ghost similar to this zombie fetus?

However, the child of that little ghost was at least a living person. This zombie, no matter how much it rots, is just a zombie. How could it possibly make a woman pregnant?
"That zombie has been dead for so many years, can it really make a woman pregnant? Could it be a mistake?" Lang Jiuchuan blurted out.

Apia and Gong Qi were both a little embarrassed. They looked at each other and then looked away.

"This is just a legend, it's hard to tell whether it's true or not, but according to folklore, ghosts can have sex with women and give birth to ghost babies?" Pia tapped the table and said, "Even if that's just a legend, it can still be born when a living person reproduces. This is called stealing a baby. No matter whose baby it is, existence is a principle. The world is so big that nothing is impossible, otherwise there wouldn't be such strange stories. And these strange arts, to put it bluntly, are nothing more than evil arts that defy the will of heaven, so it's not surprising that they exist."

Lang Jiuchuan and Gong Qi were both silent.

Art is ever-changing, and serious art can also derive countless changes. It all depends on how people use it.

"If it is true as written in this book, then this hermaphrodite is probably the most vicious and evil monster mentioned in the hexagram." Lang Jiuchuan looked at Gong Qi.

Gong Qi's face darkened slightly.

Lang Jiuchuan suddenly had an idea: "As for Princess Chao An, have you checked on her?"

Apia was a little surprised: "What about Princess Chao An? Why did you mention her?"

Lang Jiuchuan then told Princess Chao'an about the strange things about the fetus in her belly.

Gong Qi shook his head and said, "Impossible. Even if Princess Chao An is not favored, she is also surnamed Tan Tai and has Xuan clan blood..."

"Oh, that's the best." Apia laughed sarcastically and said, "The other half of a Yin-Yang person has the blood of the Dao root, so it will be easier and faster for them to grow. Isn't that the case with your Xuan clan? With the inheritance of the Dao root, you are better at understanding the Dao than your peers."

Gong Qi’s whole body stiffened.

"A hermaphrodite is born into such a good fetus. It is extremely yin and fierce. It has been absorbing essence, blood and yin essence for a long time. I am afraid that it will not be dealt with by ordinary Taoist priests after it is born." Apia said coldly: "If this is true, how will you Xuan clan deal with it? Don't be reluctant to give up such a powerful weapon."

"Shopkeeper Piao, you are prejudiced against the Xuan Clan. Aren't you generalizing? Not all the people in the Xuan Clan are evil." Gong Qi said, trying to suppress his anger. Piao played with his fingers and said, "You are in the Xuan Clan and you know it best. People are greedy. The Xuan Clan wants to consolidate its high position. Why do I feel that it is not a strange thing to secretly protect such evil things?"

"you!"

Lang Jiuchuan waved his hands: "Stop!"

She looked at Ah Piao and said, "This is a serious matter, so don't add fuel to the fire."

Apia pouted: "I'm just giving you a reminder, lest someone really does it secretly. What you said is easy, just ask someone to check the birth date of Princess Chao'an."

He thought about Princess Chao'an. Her husband's surname seemed to be Cong. Well, if it was Cong.

"I remember that there was a powerful magician in my family who almost became a member of the Xuan clan?" He asked this while looking at Gong Qi.

Gong Qi frowned, thought about it carefully, and said, "A hundred years ago, an ancestor of our family broke through the foundation building stage. Later, he seemed to be defeated in a demon-killing battle, and his cultivation was exhausted and he died. Since then, our family has never had a particularly powerful person. Although the children of the family have studied Taoism and learned skills, they have all served in the Imperial Observatory for generations."

"That can be considered as some Taoist practice."

Lang Jiuchuan thought of Cong Jinling and said, "That Cong Gong Ma is quite good at Taoism and has a magic weapon, but he turned a blind eye to the Yin Qi on Princess Chao An. I think there is something wrong."

Gong Qi was a little at a loss. Although Lang Jiuchuan had said it before, they really didn't bother to check on Princess Chao'an.

If there is a problem, then...

That is, he was also constrained by the word "Xuan clan". He was too self-righteous and thought that there was nothing wrong with being the descendants of the Xuan clan.

When Gong Qi thought of this, his face turned pale and he was very upset.

Ah Piao rolled his eyes at him with contempt and said, "When you are in a situation, you are limited and cannot see anything else. If you don't break free from the shackles, you will always stay where you are and rot in the ground."

Gong Qi lowered his head in shame.

Lang Jiuchuan said to Apia: "How much do you know about the Cong family?"

Ah Piao shook his head: "I don't know much. My family has worked in the Imperial Observatory and has followed the rules for many years. But who knows? You can't tell a person's heart from his appearance. My family also had an ancestor who was very good at Taoism and almost became a member of the Xuan Clan, but he fell into decline. I just want to ask you, are you willing to accept this?"

The two looked at each other with serious expressions.

Lang Jiuchuan stretched out his fingertips and pointed, saying: "If you are unwilling, do you dare to fight after knowing this technique?"

Gong Qi felt a chill on her back.

If you dare to fight, then after you have developed such a powerful weapon, who can compete with you?

"The Princess's Mansion is powerful and influential, which matches the image of the mastermind behind the scenes. And the Cong family has the root of enlightenment. If they have forbidden techniques, they also have a motive..." Lang Jiuchuan looked at Gong Qi: "Immediately send someone to check if there is anything unusual in the ancestral land of the Cong family."

There are too many Beast World stories (I really haven’t read them), Ajiu’s statistics are not that good, emmm, my survival depends on everyone’s support, thank you!
