From Under One Person: Sincere Journey Through the Heavens

Dalang, Erlang, and Sanlang are all clever and quick-witted. I and Shaoyao should have been good wives and mothers, but Shaoyao was quite selfish and often whispered in my husband's ear that she was unwilling to share a husband with me. She dragged my husband and my own children, Dalang and Erlang, back to Daheishan.

Only my son, Sanlang, who isn't my biological son, is left at home.

Puzzled, Zhang Jie used his spiritual power to send a message to Zhan Lan, asking, "Why didn't you bring Sanlang?"

“In ancient times, the legitimate son had the highest status among all the offspring. Ning Caichen was a scholar and could not possibly abandon his legitimate son. Concubines, in order to show their magnanimity and to rise in status, had to show more favor to the legitimate son than to the child they had given birth to... Now I am quite curious about what kind of ‘good man’ Ning Caichen really is.”

Zhan Lan responded, a hint of curiosity about Ning Caichen arose in her eyes.

In addition, she suddenly realized why a good story always ends there—

Check it out!

If the story of "Nie Xiaoqian" were to continue, it would become a melodramatic love drama filled with family squabbles, wives and concubines fighting, and a few supernatural elements!

"So, you want us to go to Black Mountain to help you find Dalang and Erlang? But why did you say they were two daughters in the first place?"

Zhang Jie noticed the problem.

"Alas, all three sons are actually daughters. It's only because I used illusion magic that my husband mistook them for sons," Nie Xiaoqian sighed. "What family doesn't wish for their wives or concubines to give birth to sons? If I had given birth to two daughters, even if my husband loved me, he would spend less time visiting my main room!"

Zhan Lan's eyelids twitched, and she exchanged a glance with Zhang Jie, seeing the same thought in his eyes:

Damn feudal society!

They deserve severe criticism!

"Please rest assured, Madam, we will definitely find your two daughters and husband." Lu Renjia said firmly, displaying his strong masculine spirit.

"I would like to express my gratitude to you all in advance."

After saying this, Nie Xiaoqian stood up, bowed to the three of them again to express her gratitude, and then went to the back room, bringing out a woman with a plump figure and beautiful body. She had a red dot between her eyebrows, wore a gray and white brocade robe and blue and black underwear, and had bright eyes. She was not like a ghost, but rather like a living person. Her breath exuded a heroic spirit, and she was as brave as any woman!

"This is Sanlang, and also Sannu. You can call her Little Girl."

“In recent years, I have heard of the howling of wronged souls in the mountains of knives and the wailing of wild ghosts in the sea of ​​fire. I have also learned some of the whereabouts of Shaoyao. She is selfish and ambitious. I am afraid she has already tormented my husband to death. You should rescue my two daughters.”

“My youngest daughter may be the offspring of a human and a ghost. She is exceptionally gifted and has innate supernatural abilities. She may be able to help you get rid of the peony.”

The young woman sized up Zhan Lan, Zhang Jie, and Lu Renjia with a serious expression and a delicate, fragrant breath that made Lu Renjia's heart pound: "Three great heroes, I have practiced martial arts since childhood and am self-taught. I possess special abilities and will definitely help you rescue my two older sisters and kill that peony!"

Peony is the little girl's biological mother, yet this daughter hates her own mother so much that Zhan Lan and Zhang Jie both sigh. Although they know that they are ancient people and their values ​​are different from those of modern people, they still curse Peony for being heartless, actually keeping her own daughter and taking away Nie Xiaoqian's two biological daughters instead.

Fortunately, Nie Xiaoqian was a good girl who took care of the young girl until she grew up. If it had been another woman, she probably would have tormented this illegitimate daughter to the fullest.

only--

Can a human and a ghost really have a son together?

It wasn't just Zhan Lan who was curious.

the other side.

Chu Xuan asked Zhang Zhiwei the same question again.

"can."

Zhang Zhiwei affirmed, "Within this space, ghosts also have physical bodies and 'flesh and blood,' no different from other living beings in the outside world. However, if the ghosts in this world have no place to reside after leaving the outside world, they will vanish and return to the natural world. The children born from the union of humans and ghosts... may also be like this."

Zheng Zha's heart skipped a beat.

and so--

He really cheated on Loli from the Main God Space with the Loli fairy from the "horror movie" and even had a child?

Zhang Zhiwei, not wanting to miss out on trouble, gave Zheng Zha a thumbs up and said, "You're quite something, actually managing to have an affair in this ghost realm."

What is an outer residence?

It often refers to a woman who is kept by a man in a separate residence but lives with him.

That is, lover.

A wife is not as good as a concubine, and a wife is not as good as a stolen lover. The so-called "stolen lover" refers to having sex with a lover.

Generally speaking, wealthy merchants and landowners often do this, and sometimes they even treat their mistresses better than their wives and concubines.

Zheng Zha —

Zhang Zhiwei could tell that he must have a wife at home.

As a person from ancient times, Fairy Loli naturally understood the meaning of "outer residence". Upon hearing that Zheng Zha had a wife at home, she did not throw a tantrum, but only wished to be intimate with Zheng Zha. Even if she did not have the title of "concubine", she did not care.

Such obedience and understanding made Zheng Zha feel even more like a "scumbag," and he felt even more affection for the fairy Luo Li—the three years in the painting were not a dream for him.

But to avoid continuing this "topic," Zheng Zha asked Zhang Zhiwei about his purpose in meeting the underworld emperor on Dahei Mountain.

"Yin gives rise to Yang."

Zhang Zhiwei stopped keeping them in suspense and told the two, "That Black Mountain is formed by the accumulation of countless yin spirits, and inside it has grown a landscape that resembles the legendary 'Heavenly Court'."

Human will and spirit possess immense power. In reality, there are several techniques that utilize the power of popular worship, but their effectiveness is limited due to the rigid rules of the real world…

In this ghost realm, which exists based on the yin-yang feng shui energy of the outside world, the power that human will and spirit can generate is beyond imagination, and can even achieve the myths in folk tales!

This ghost realm was created by the countless wronged souls and wandering ghosts that gathered from the meteorite. After these wronged souls and wandering ghosts piled up together, they instinctively longed to transcend their suffering. And because of the principle of yin and yang in the world, they instinctively used the murals in the Namo Temple to create a "Heavenly Palace".

The purest thoughts of all beings enter the heavenly palace, where they are purified, free from afflictions, and naturally experience joy.

But why do those ghosts and monsters from the outside world exist?

That's all for now.

Zhang Zhiwei gave Fairy Loli a meaningful look and said quietly, "It's because what enters the Heavenly Palace is only a person's purest consciousness, while discarding the rest of the person's complex memories, emotions, and spiritual body."

If only one or two people do this, it's fine; those negative emotions will naturally dissipate.

But that Black Mountain is about a thousand feet high, and how many people's spirits are gathered there?

In addition, many creatures with little intelligence from the outside world also enter this place after death, merging with those abandoned memories, emotions, and spirits, which will evolve into countless ghosts and monsters.

Among them, the one who gained the most memories, emotions, and spiritual essence was probably the Emperor of the Underworld, who pardoned and conferred titles upon the Ten Kings of Hell, the Five Ghost Emperors, and the Ghost Judges, and established this Underworld based on the Great Black Mountain—

If the Yin and Yang of the 'Heavenly Palace' and the 'Underworld' could circulate and rotate, that would be quite good. It might even make this place a small underworld. If it could be controlled by some external force, it could still stand in the world.

Unfortunately, this demonic realm is established at the yin eye of the yang fish, but it is externally yin and internally yang, making it difficult to form a cycle.

The Yellow Springs water might be a scheme orchestrated by the Underworld Emperor of the Great Black Mountain, through the orders of the Ten Kings of Hell and the Five Ghost Emperors, to secretly undermine the power of the 'Heavenly Palace.'

Zheng Zha was somewhat puzzled: "Why would the King of the Underworld do that?"

There are two possibilities.

Zhang Zhiwei gave two thumbs up. "First, the ghosts and monsters on Daheishan Mountain are all based on the memories, emotions, and spirits that were removed by the pure consciousness in the Heavenly Palace. Although they have merged and intertwined with the other dead souls and spirits to form new individuals, they still instinctively yearn to return to their original owners."

Secondly, the King of the Underworld had truly gained self-awareness, but realizing that he was not truly alive, he wanted to integrate the pure consciousness within the Heavenly Palace into his body in order to become the dual master of both the Heavenly Palace and the Underworld.

Ultimately, it's all about making up for oneself.

The former is driven by instinct, while the latter is deliberate planning, but the two are not in conflict…

# Chapter 355 Zheng Zha and Others in Action (XI) The Radiance of the Spiritual Realm Also Exists in Daheishan

"Judging from the fact that the fairy Loli sought pleasure with you, it seems that the underworld emperor's scheme has been successful—"

Zhang Zhiwei turned his attention to Fairy Lolita.

In theory.

Since the Heavenly Palace is a place where Yin gives rise to Yang, the pure consciousness residing there enjoys tranquility, free from worldly troubles, and will not have lustful thoughts.

But since the fairy Lolita longed to experience physical pleasure, and the other fairies in the painting also concealed their intimacy... it must be that the power of the Heavenly Palace was weakening, causing the "fairies" who should have been without desires to have impure thoughts again.

That is, yearning for the mortal world.

"Also, Zheng Zha, there's something I must remind you of:"

The child of the human and the ghost is an intertwining of life and death, a fusion of yin and yang, a living body naturally capable of bearing the power of worship... Perhaps the underworld emperor seems to be held back by the river, but his actions have already begun.

He wants to complete himself, presumably to seize control of the Heavenly Palace.

And the Heavenly Palace is supported by the radiance of that so-called Heavenly Spiritual Realm you mentioned...

That must be the source power created by the convergence of the worship of all living beings into one point, and the King of the Underworld must want to obtain that power.

But he needs someone to help him seize it—

Ghosts with complex emotions and memories entering the Heavenly Palace and ascending to the Golden Rank would most likely be rejected immediately; while humans... you've personally tested it, there's a risk of losing consciousness, but the Golden Rank doesn't reject them; so let's boldly speculate that the offspring born from the union of a human and a ghost might be born with the ability to ascend to the Golden Rank, obtain the radiance of the celestial spiritual realm, and leave the Heavenly Palace using themselves as a vessel.

"Without the radiance of the Heavenly Spirit Realm, what will happen to the Heavenly Palace? Will it collapse? Will it cause the Great Black Mountain to collapse as well?" Chu Xuan asked the crucial question.

If so, then Zheng Zha really did bring out a "key"!

After all, if Daheishan Mountain collapses, Lanruo Temple on top of it will inevitably be destroyed as well!

But how long does it take for a "ghost child" to be born? And how long does it take to nurture it? Unless—

Zheng Zha and Fairy Loli re-enter the Painted Wall Heavenly Palace, where Fairy Loli gives birth to a child, which they raise to adulthood and steal the radiance of the celestial spiritual realm...

"will not."

Zhang Zhiwei's answer brought Chu Xuan's thoughts to an abrupt halt: "The Heavenly Palace appears to be inside the Black Mountain, but even if you dig through the entire Black Mountain, you still won't find it."

Just as the Ghost Realm exists within the external feng shui energy field, invisible and intangible, the Heavenly Palace also exists within the entire 'energy field' of the Great Black Mountain, like a painting within a painting. Without a specific method, one cannot even think of entering it.

As for Zheng Zha's ability to enter, it's possible that the underworld emperor had already corrupted part of the heavenly palace's purity, or perhaps his thoughts were too complicated, resonating with the corrupted part of it, and he simply became immersed in it.

However, whether the disappearance of the radiance from that spiritual realm will affect the aura of the Great Black Mountain is unknown... As for auras, I only have a general understanding; I don't actually possess any sorcerer's techniques.

"In other words, this 'ghost fetus' must be removed." Chu Xuan looked at Fairy Loli's abdomen, only to see Zheng Zha blocking his way.

"You're acting too impulsively." Chu Xuan put down the pistol with spirit bullets in his hand.

"If you dare to hurt Fairy Loli, I'll kill you first!" Zheng Zha's attitude was extremely firm, and he even activated the first-level gene lock.

The scorching heat emanating from his body startled Zhang Zhiwei. He then grinned, stroking his chin, and thought to himself, "No wonder Jiang Liu wanted to keep him here! Although he doesn't seem like a cultivator at all, his heart is quite upright, and his hidden strength is quite formidable."

The heroes of the world are indeed as numerous as carp crossing a river! Countless!
