Dongxuan Spiritual Realm

Chapter 57 General Daddy
Ever since Yang Qisheng arrived at Jiangjun Mountain, he has been looking towards Wanliu Village. Seeing that there are still people living there, he knows that there are still villagers living there.

He thought that these mortals were ignorant of their own danger. The entrance to the tomb was exposed, and it was obvious that the demon corpses inside had begun to move around. Wanliu Village, which was the closest to here, would inevitably bear the brunt.

Fortunately, they came here to deal with the demon corpse, so the village can enjoy peace in the future.

At this time, I saw a child running towards here from the bottom of the slope. I recognized it was Jing Han whom I met before.

He raised his hand and released a Huafeng sword, which turned into a yellow sword light about ten feet long. It flew over, picked up Jing Han, and pulled him directly in front of him.

The yellow light dissipated, and Jing Han sat on the ground, still a little frightened. Then he recognized Yang Qisheng and was overjoyed: "Immortal!"

Yang Qisheng asked him, "Why are you here again? And why are you running into this tomb?"

Jing Han's bright eyes flashed with excitement, but then a hint of worry welled up in his eyes: "You're an immortal. If you find out I'm a zombie, will you strike me to death with thunder?"

Yang Qisheng smiled and patted his head: "How can you be a zombie? Don't listen to those kids' nonsense, you are just a normal child."

"Tell me first, if I were a zombie, would you chop me to death?" The boy stubbornly wanted an answer.

"will not."

"Really?"

"Really." Yang Qisheng was not just trying to fool the child. He thought that if the little guy was really infected with corpse poison, Taiyi Palace should be able to save him.

Jing Han glanced at Liu Hanzhang and the others, then pulled Yang Qisheng away and whispered, "I really am a zombie. If you don't believe me, just look."

As he spoke, he drew the dagger from his back, rolled up his sleeves, and lightly cut a wound on his arm.

The skin was broken, but no blood flowed out, and within just a few breaths, it healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Yang Qisheng stroked his tender little arm with his hand, and indeed, there was not even a scar left.

He was about to study it carefully when Pei Lingyu spoke impatiently from behind, "What's there to talk about with a country boy? Let's get into the tomb quickly, kill the demon corpse, and go back soon."

Yang Qisheng squatted down and patted Jing Han on the shoulder: "Go home first. I'll come to the village to find you after I finish my work."

"Are you going to kill my father?" Jing Han grabbed Yang Qisheng's hand, his childish face full of worry.

"Your father?"

"The one buried in that tomb is my father!" Jing Han insisted on his judgment. "These past few days, immortals have been coming every day. Some come to the village, some don't. In the end, they all go into the tomb, but none of them have ever come out. I went in there yesterday and saw my biological father in a huge room. He was a mighty general!"

"You went in? And saw a mighty general?" Yang Qisheng was extremely shocked. Not only had the tomb owner woken up, but he also met Jing Han.

But after he met Jing Han, why did he allow him to come out alive? Could he really be Jing Han's biological father?
Yang Qisheng grabbed Jing Han's arm and took his pulse. He then looked carefully into his eyes, observed his expression, and touched several major bones in his body. Indeed, this child was a human being!

Can zombies give birth to living people?
The "Lingbao Duren Jing" records several situations in which zombies give birth. Some of them are fertilized during life and give birth after death. The fetuses suffocate in the coffins. By chance, they turn into little zombies many years later, but their skin is like rotten leather and their flesh is like dry cotton. They look like mummies and do not look like living people at all.

Some zombies have become powerful and can have intercourse after death and give birth to little zombies. Those little zombies are more like humans, but they have no heartbeat or pulse, and they are full of evil, which can be recognized at a glance.

He confirmed again and again that this child was clearly a living person.

How can there be a zombie father then?
He couldn't figure it out for a moment, and Pei Lingyu became even more impatient. This time, before he could say anything, his disciple Pei Qifeng complained on his behalf: "Uncle Yang, are you leaving or not? Do you think the demon corpses aren't ferocious enough right now? Do you want to wait until dark?"

Yang Qisheng really wanted to understand Jing Han’s problem, but he really shouldn’t delay entering the tomb any longer.

He asked Jing Han to go back to the village first before he stood up. Jing Han grabbed his sleeve tightly again and said, "Don't kill my father! You will be killed by my father!"

Yang Qisheng thought for a moment and then asked, "You said you went into the tomb yesterday and saw a man who looked like a great general, who said you were his son, right?"

"Yeah." Jing Han nodded vigorously.

Yang Qisheng pulled him in front of Liu Hanzhang and the others and told them about Jing Han: "How about we take him in and see if the general he mentioned is the owner of the tomb?"

Pei Lingyu disagreed: "Why should we bother with all this mess? Wouldn't it be better to just go in and kill all the evil spirits inside? Clean and efficient, wouldn't it? Why bring such a burden with us?"

In fact, what Pei Lingyu said made sense. This was their original intention when they came here.

But Yang Qisheng felt that Jing Han had a close relationship with this tomb: "Let's take him with us. Let him stay with me. I'll protect him. If that doesn't work out, I'll send him out."

"Whatever you say." Pei Lingyu snorted coldly and took the lead. The tomb door sensed someone entering and automatically rose upwards. Pei Lingyu walked straight in, followed closely by Pei Qifeng and Xue Yan.

After the three of them entered, Liu Hanzhang stood there waiting for Yang Qisheng, and the tomb door automatically lowered.

Yang Qisheng took off the Taiyi Talisman and put it around Jing Han's neck, instructing him: "No matter what happens later, don't run around. Stay beside me. Do you hear me?"

"Yes." Jing Han nodded obediently, "I won't run around, and you shouldn't run around either. There are evil spirits in this tomb, and only the path I take is safe."

Yang Qisheng took him and Liu Hanzhang into the tomb.

After entering, they found that it was a stone chamber with a statue of a general in the center. There was a fork in the road on each side of the room. Pei Lingyu and the others had disappeared.

"Junior Brother Pei!" Liu Hanzhang shouted several times to the forks in the road on both sides, but received no response.

Jing Han said, "There are evil spirits on both roads. Only the middle road is safe."

He went over and knelt in front of the statue, kowtowed three times, put his hands together, and prayed a few words. The statue of the general then moved aside, and the stone wall behind it cracked, revealing a door.

Yang Qisheng was surprised: "How did you find this passage?"

"I kowtowed to him." Jing Han pointed at the statue. "I initially thought he was my father, but later I found out he was just a general under my father."

Yang Qisheng looked at the statue, which was carved purely from black stone. The figure was wearing ancient armor and holding a pistol in each hand.

"He's also a 'Double-Spear General'!" Yang Qisheng discussed with Liu Hanzhang, "Last time we entered from a collapsed tomb chamber, then went into the east and west annex chambers. Now that the tomb door has appeared, judging by its position, we should be between the east and west annex chambers. The passages on the left and right should lead to the east and west annex chambers. I wonder which one Senior Brother Pei and the others took."

It turned out that Pei Lingyu, his apprentice, and Xue Yan were all very competitive. The three of them wanted to reach the main tomb chamber first and kill the demon corpse general to regain some face.

Pei Lingyu also had another idea. When he came here just now, Lu Yichao specifically told him that there were many good things in this tomb.

He thought that if he could find some treasure first, he could make a bet with Yang Qisheng and win the Ten Thousand Swords Gourd back.

Therefore, as soon as the three of them came in, they chose a passage and flew to the deeper part of the ancient tomb on their swords. Yang Qisheng just spoke a few more words to Jing Han, and when he came in again, even his figure could not be seen.

Liu Hanzhang was also an extremely intelligent person. After thinking about this, he could only sigh silently in his heart: "Then let's take this road and see if the general this child is talking about is the owner of the tomb."

The two men took Jing Han into the passage. The stone wall behind them returned to its original state. The road inside was winding and full of gloomy and evil spirits.

Liu Hanzhang took the initiative to walk in front to lead the way, while Yang Qisheng walked behind, protecting Jing Han in the middle and moving forward carefully.

Yang Qisheng asked Jing Han about the ancient tomb.

Jing Han had been to this ancient tomb several times, seen zombies, encountered evil spirits, and almost lost his life several times, but those evil spirits and zombies were very afraid of him. Every time they forced him into a corner or got close to him, they seemed to have encountered something terrifying and dispersed.

"I finally ran into my father yesterday in a tomb. I called out to him, but he ignored me and just stood there in the distance. He was wearing armor and holding such a huge sword, looking so impressive!" Jing Han said with some pride. "My father said he wouldn't allow anyone to bully his son. He knew someone was bullying me, so he told me to go back and bring everyone who bullied me here. He's going to chop off their heads one by one!"

"So? You lured them all here?"

"No." Jing Han smiled. "Those people bullied me, but they weren't chickens or ducks, and you can't eat them if you cut off their heads. Besides, if they died, their parents would be so sad. They're right. I'm the son of a zombie, and I'm different from them. I don't want to play with them. I came here today just to spend some time with my dad. I want to hear him tell me about his battles on the battlefield."

"He's still a very kind child." Yang Qisheng pinched his cheek, thinking that this matter was weird in every way. He would see with his own eyes the general father that Jing Han mentioned soon. He must find out how a demon corpse could give birth to a human child. Even the "Duren Jing" did not record this situation.

Yang Qisheng asked about the situation in the village again. It turned out that after they left last time, the villagers moved back one after another. After all, the ancestral tombs were still here, and the houses, farmland, and household items accumulated by several generations were all here, and they could not be easily given up.

But sword immortals continued to arrive one after another, some of them were looking for the Blood-Transforming Demonic Sword, and some were looking for the general's tomb. Most of them entered the tomb and never came out again, and only a few escaped with injuries and fled in embarrassment.

During this period, there was a sword immortal who escaped to the village, prescribed a medicine, and asked the villagers to boil the medicine for him, but he died soon after.

The villagers buried the sword immortal. Seven days later, the sword immortal turned into a corpse demon and crawled out to eat people.

The villagers suffered heavy casualties and did not survive until dawn the next day. The remaining villagers ran to the county for help.

At this time, a Taoist priest from Huailing Temple was invited to come and subdue the corpse demon, thus resolving the crisis.

In the past few days, the Taoist priests of Huailing Temple gathered together and prepared to completely clear out the demon corpses in the general's tomb. They sent people to Wanliu Village in advance to notify the villagers and asked them to prepare three sacrificial animals. They would set up an altar in front of the tomb at that time.

When Jing Han heard about it, he ran to the tomb and told his father about it.
