Chapter 199 Reversal: Becoming a Demon is worse than Refining Evil

Gong Qi's face was deathly pale, his whole body trembled, and tears fell like beads.

Shen Qinghe stared in disbelief and asked, "What's wrong with him?"

Lang Jiuchuan dragged him off the futon, saw that the futon was old and frosty and full of yin energy, reached out and touched it, and said, "It's spiritually connected."

A ghost walked over and said, "Is he still a psychic?"

A person with a spiritual connection is someone you can only encounter by chance, not by seeking.

"It's hard to say," Lang Jiuchuan shook his head and said, "Perhaps they empathized with each other."

Seeing that Gong Qi had not yet come to his senses, she summoned the Judge's Pen and drew a calming talisman on his forehead. Then she shook the Emperor Bell, and the long, drawn-out sound of the bell gradually calmed him down, and his eyes gradually regained their clarity.

Gong Qi touched his cold cheek, glanced at the futon on the ground, swallowed hard, and said in a voice as cold as frost: "This is against human ethics. He killed his own son to seal his soul in order to cultivate evil. What a vicious heart."

Shen Qinghe's head was buzzing. What was this about killing one's son and sealing one's soul? He was clearly a top-ranking scholar in the imperial examinations, so why couldn't he understand this?

Seeing that Lang Jiuchuan and Apiao didn't seem surprised, Gong Qi asked, "You both knew?"

"Manager Piao found some information about the past from Cong's family. The Corpse Zombie is the biological son of the family's patriarch," Lang Jiuchuan replied. "We came here to check if that person's birth date and time are here."

"Birth date and time?"

Lang Jiuchuan hummed in agreement and then explained his thoughts, saying, "I'm doing this just in case. Time is running out. Once we find the zombie, we must kill it immediately. We can't let it escape and allow its Yin essence to be reborn, otherwise it will be even harder to kill."

Gong Qi looked at him with admiration and sighed, "You really think ten steps ahead for every one step you take."

"When something is so urgent, it makes one think a lot. If it weren't for the unofficial history that he was reincarnated, but just an ordinary zombie, we could slowly wear him down, and even if he escaped, we could continue to hunt him down and exterminate the evil." Lang Jiuchuan's face was somber: "The truth is, we and they are all vying for this opportunity."

They wanted to kill the zombie to prevent him from breaking free of his seal and being reborn into the world, while their ancestor wanted to stall for time until the time was right.

"If we miss the first shot, we'll be at a disadvantage."

If the zombie is found but cannot be eliminated immediately, then he will be born smoothly, just as she saw.

Gong Qi pursed her lips and said, "Can the future truly be reversed?"

Lang Jiuchuan glanced over: "Do your best and leave the rest to fate."

We have to fight no matter what!
Gong Qi turned his head to look at the futon and said, "This futon should have been where the patriarch of the Cong family has been sitting all this time. I'm afraid he has been hiding here for many years, living a life of ignominy. I used the Rewind Technique and immediately saw the scene of him killing his son and sealing his soul. I think this must be his obsession for many years."

Shen Qinghe tried his best to piece together the complete story from the conversation of the group, and said, "No, how old is the ancestor of the Cong family that you are talking about? Is he still alive? The old master of the Cong family is already seventy years old. I have never heard of anyone in the Cong family who is older than him."

“What Lord Shen said is what I was hesitant about. Even if he didn’t die, it’s been almost a hundred years since the news of his death broke. How could he still be alive?” Gong Qi was also puzzled.

Lang Jiuchuan said, "Have you forgotten what level of cultivation he has? Foundation Establishment cultivators can extend their lifespan. If they cultivate and maintain their health properly, it's not impossible for them to live to be 150 or even 200 years old." Those who attain enlightenment can also extend their lifespan.

“But even if he’s still alive, he won’t live long.” Lang Jiuchuan stared at the futon and said, “Even if he didn’t perish, he suffered great damage, which is why he became a demon and killed his son to cultivate evil. People whose cultivation has regressed don’t live long. The fact that he can live this long means he must have used some other insidious method.”

"What law?"

Lang Jiuchuan looked up at them and said, "When you came in just now, didn't you think there were an absurd number of ancestral tablets in the family ancestral hall?"

Shen Qinghe was taken aback. There were indeed many, filling an entire shelf. He sighed at the prosperity of his family, but looking at the family members outside who were confined, it seemed as if things had come to a standstill.

Gong Qi said in a trembling voice, "There is an evil technique that can prolong life by stealing someone else's lifespan and deceiving the heavens and the sea, thus extending one's own life."

what?
Shen Qinghe's hair stood on end, his face turned as white as paper, and he said, "Are you saying that so-called ancestor stole the lifespan of his own descendants and imposed it on himself?"

Lang Jiuchuan surveyed the dark room and said, "He has become a demon. If he can kill his own son, what else can't he do? To achieve his obsession, he won't care whether those children are his own descendants or not."

She stood on a wall, looking at the engravings on it. She reached out and touched them, feeling the patterns. She frowned and said, "His ability to steal lifespan is one thing. Since he dares to use evil magic again and again, he may have been practicing some insidious evil magic all these years. Who was the wandering Taoist he met back then, and what did he teach him?"

"Just to see that hermaphrodite be born? That's insane!" Gong Qi murmured. "To disregard human ethics and scheme for a hundred years just to create such a great demon, what good will it do? He'll die sooner or later."

Lang Jiuchuan suddenly paused, turned around and said, "Yes, even if he creates such a demon, he will still die. So why is he so persistent? Is it merely to prove his extraordinary nature to the world?"

Seeing her brow furrow, the ghost asked, "What are you thinking about?"

“It doesn’t make sense.” Lang Jiuchuan walked around in the dark room and said, “Actually, I don’t think that a corpse can grow into a fetus. Although there are ghost stories in folklore, and some people have had intercourse with ghosts and planted ghost fetuses, that’s just wishful thinking. In the end, it is invisible and has no life. It is the ghostly energy that makes the woman’s abdomen swell up.”

The so-called mutual generation of Yin and Yang means that human life must be formed by the union of Yin and Yang and the fusion of essence and blood to create an embryo; there is no such thing as a falsehood.

She turned to look at the group and said, "A zombie is already dead, its flesh and blood long gone, and all its functions gone. Even if its soul is sealed within its body, it is only sealing the soul. How could it make the corpse so lifelike, as if it were not dead?"

The ghost said, "If we use a secret technique, we can do the same thing, but we must seal it in an ice coffin that is over a thousand years old to prevent the body from decaying, so that it just looks like it is sleeping."

“Then the corpse cannot be refined.” Lang Jiuchuan said calmly, “An ice coffin preserves the corpse. Using a secret technique, the corpse can be preserved, but it will also block the five elements of energy from the outside, especially the yin energy.”

Yin energy can cause changes in a corpse, and over time, it will become unrecognizable. This contradicts the idea of ​​using an ice coffin to preserve a corpse from external erosion, so it is impossible.

"Moreover, the zombie I saw was indeed a emaciated, fleshless zombie. How could something like that really make a woman pregnant?"

cough cough cough.

Shen Qinghe coughed violently, provoked by her bold remarks.

My goodness, are you still a little girl? What kind of indecent words are you saying?
A sudden thought struck Gong Qi, and his eyes widened as he exclaimed, "You mean, the one who planted that Yin fetus wasn't a zombie at all, but..."

Lang Jiuchuan nodded, looking at the dark, unremarkable prayer mat, and said, "A hundred years of planning, just to watch the demons you've created be born, and then die peacefully? If it were me, who would care about the deluge after I die? Rather than watching demons be born, achieving immortality and escaping reincarnation, I'd rather become a demon myself!"
