When Wei Wuxian traveled back in time

What Wei Wuxian said sounded absurd and bizarre, a dead person giving birth to a child, but he also felt that in such a big world, it was not impossible.

Xue Yang looked very interested: "Brother Xian knows so much."

Wei WuXian said, “I have nothing to do, so I just watch and study aimlessly.”

"If you want to read and understand, these things are usually recorded sporadically in some strange books, and there are all kinds of miscellaneous things in folk stalls."

Wei Wuxian was just curious and thought what was written was interesting, but he never thought that it really happened in the world. What was written seemed like unofficial history from dozens or even hundreds of years ago.

Wei WuXian said: “All the records on it are about ghosts, gods, demons and monsters, such as this Yin Shengzi.”

"Moreover, even if the dead man's child is not completely devoured by the evil spirit, it will be suffocated to death as soon as possible. After all, this situation is considered unlucky in the eyes of some people."

Xue Yang frowned: "Are you really going to suffocate such a young child to death?"

Wei WuXian shook his head: “Of course it’s not inevitable. Yin-born children attract evil spirits. If it were an ordinary family, it would definitely bring unnecessary disasters that they could not afford to cause.”

"Not only is it different for us cultivators, but I also believe that Yin Shengzi is just a mother's strong will to keep her child alive."

Xue Yang pondered and said, "If you explain it this way, Brother Xian, I think I understand why this child suddenly stopped breathing."

“Oh?” Wei WuXian asked like a persuasive teacher: “Then tell me about it.”

Xue Yang said: "I think that this child was already dead the moment he was born in the coffin. When we opened the coffin and let him come into contact with the air, he truly came back to life."

"That would explain why the child was able to survive for three days in that dark, airless coffin."

"This possibility of truly recovering and waking up only after exposure to air can be considered as a protection for the child in the next few days."

Wei WuXian stroked his chin and nodded, “What you said is indeed correct. This baby can be said to be gifted. If he is guided correctly and trained, he will definitely become a genius when he grows up.”

Wei Wuxian had just finished saying this and was about to say something else when suddenly a sound was heard from the cave entrance.

Xue Yang asked cautiously: "Who!?"

Several people turned around, and the voice from the cave entrance kept saying, "Senior Wei, Senior Wei, it's me, it's me, don't hit me."

In the darkness, a person slowly walked out from the direction of the cave entrance. In the light of the fire, it was Lan Jingyi.

Wei WuXian asked, “Why are you following me?”

"Master Xiao, Master Xue." Lan Jingyi bowed to them and said, "Senior Wei, what you said before we separated was just to ask me to investigate more carefully. I saw you fly out and leave the town. I was curious and wanted to know what you were doing, so I followed you."

Lan Jingyi came over as he spoke. He pointed at the baby in the cradle and said, "So this child was really born from a corpse!"

As he spoke, he used his hand to feel the man's breath: "He really isn't breathing!"

"But if he really doesn't breathe, won't he suffocate to death?"

This guy asked a series of questions as soon as he arrived.

“Don’t touch me.” Wei WuXian pulled him to sit down and said, “This is the characteristic of Yin-born children.”

Lan Jingyi asked curiously: "What are the characteristics?"

Wei WuXian said: “It’s hard to summarize the characteristics. After all, this is my first time encountering it.”

"But if we have to summarize it in a specific way, it can be said that this is for the endurance of Yin Shengzi. The coffin is in a sealed state, and there is still air in the coffin, but the air will also run out."

"And this endurance can be said to be that this Yin-born child was breathing at the moment of birth, but after he had inhaled all the air in the coffin, in order to survive, his endurance was revealed."

"His endurance cut off his breathing, causing him to fall into a state of suspended animation. He remained in this state until Junior Master and the others opened the coffin."

The people around him nodded as they listened. Lan Jingyi asked another question: "If Taoist Xiao and the others didn't open the coffin, could the baby have survived with his endurance?"

… …

Keep surviving.

Lan Jingyi meant that if no one discovered this child, he would remain in this state for decades or even hundreds of years.

Wei WuXian knocked on his head: “You asked without thinking carefully.”

"Endurance is just endurance. He can hold his breath longer than ordinary people, so he is not so easy to die. This is his talent. It is not an indestructible golden body or a trump card that can make him immortal by holding his breath. There must be a time limit."

Lan Jingyi covered his head and said "Oh" and changed the subject: "Senior Wei, you said before that there are many things in this world that we may not be able to control. It seems to be consistent with this matter."

It is a difficult question to determine how to classify the causes of death of this child's family within one day.

The rich businessman was indeed the fuse. Maybe if he hadn't made trouble that day, perhaps all the subsequent events would not have happened.

But the rich businessman never thought that he just said a few words to the person and didn't do anything else, but the person died, and then there were a series of deaths.

After talking for such a long time, the topic finally returned to this issue, and several people sighed at the same time.

Wei Wuxian looked at Xiao Xingchen and said, “So this is why you said at the beginning, Junior Master, that you didn’t know whether this was a natural disaster or a man-made disaster.”

Xiao Xingchen nodded.

Wei WuXian paused and asked, “So how did you originally plan to handle this matter?”

At first, Xue Yang and Xiao Xingchen thought it was just an ordinary harassment from evil spirits, and they could just convert them or disperse them. However, the evil spirit that kept harassing them was the woman who had suffered a miscarriage.

Come to think of it, from the woman's perspective, it was the rich businessman who ruined her family, and she was the only one killed. Naturally, she felt extremely resentful.

To the woman, the culprit was none other than the wealthy businessman.

But for the rich businessman himself, this was completely unintentional and not his original intention.

Wei WuXian asked, “I’m confused. The whole family died, two lives were lost in one corpse. If resentment accumulated, this would completely fit the premise of the corpse turning into a ghost. But why did the woman only accumulate resentment and turn into a ghost?”

Xue Yang said: "We had this doubt from the beginning. After we figured out everything, we found out that the money for the burial of this family was paid by the rich businessman."

"Although it's not a grand funeral, it's still a decent funeral."

"This may be the reason why the woman did not turn the tables."
