Chapter 8: The big zombie is born, and his bones won’t turn into flesh!

Zhang Daoling looked at the boundless evil spirit gushing out of the bronze coffin, and his face turned pale instantly.

"I wonder how long you can stop me!" After saying this, Ying Zheng fell silent. He had consumed too much energy today and needed to rest.

"Alas..." Zhang Daoling sighed deeply. Perhaps he should have thought of this result back then.

If a terrifying existence like Ying Zheng is simply suppressed, he will eventually come into the world.

But this day came a little too early.

······
outside world.

The old Taoist priest looked at the rolling thunderclouds above the underground palace and felt a bad premonition in his heart.

"The calamity clouds are gathering, evil spirits are rising to the sky, a giant zombie is about to be born!" The old Taoist muttered to himself, his legs feeling a little weak.

"It shouldn't be that person, right?"

"If it was the First Emperor, he would not have gathered the calamity clouds, but would have struck directly down."

The old Taoist comforted himself in his heart that judging from this strange phenomenon, it should not be Ying Zheng who came out.

"It must be one of our ancestors who has turned into a zombie. That damn tomb robber!"

"Damn it, don't let this guy get it right. The First Emperor didn't turn into a corpse, but the 165 ancestors of Longhu Mountain did."

The old Taoist priest clenched his fists. He wished he could drag Wang Wu and the others to his side immediately and give each of them a big sinus.

"Master, we have found out that the Taoist priest who was with the tomb robbers is the head of Zichen Dao, a branch of our Zhengyi Dao, Zhenyangzi!" At this time, a disciple from Longhu Mountain came to report.
"Go and control all the disciples of Zichen Dao and ask them if they know what this Zhenyangzi is trying to do!" asked the old Taoist priest, waving his hand.

Their Taoism is just a general term.

There are also various Taoist sects under it.

For example, they have the Zhengyi Dao of Longhu Mountain, the Shangqing Dao of Maoshan Mountain, and the Taiping Dao founded by Zhang Jiao in the past.

The powerful ones among these sects occupied various famous mountains and rivers, such as the Zhengyi Longhu Mountain, the Quanzhen Zhongnan Mountain, and the Shangqing Maoshan Mountain.

The weaker sects, on the other hand, depend on the stronger ones and are gradually assimilated by them.

Zichen Dao is a subsidiary of Zhengyi Dao, and will gradually be merged into Zhengyi Dao in the future.

"Old Taoist Priest, does this zombie have intelligence?" Jiang Shan came behind the old Taoist Priest and asked.

The old Taoist priest looked at Jiang Shan strangely, then explained: "Ordinary zombies have no intelligence, they only know how to be bloodthirsty, especially when they are just born, they will look for the blood of their closest relatives to suck their blood."

"They are particularly bloodthirsty. Only when they become flying zombies can they have a trace of intelligence, but it is definitely not a human spirit. They will not remember their past lives. They are completely different people from when they were alive."

"But when they reach Fushi, their minds are greatly opened, and they are no different from humans."

"But... after all, they are no longer alive and no longer act with human thinking. They are just zombies."

Jiang Shan nodded as if he understood, and then continued to ask: "What this means is that zombies are no longer human beings, and those who have come back to life are not the same people they were in life?"

"That's right, otherwise why would we monks kill them all?" The old Taoist nodded with a wry smile.

"Human blood has an inexplicable attraction to zombies. To them, we are food!"

If a person dies and comes back to life as a zombie, he will still have the same thinking as before his death, just like before his death.

Then all his Taoist predecessors would turn into zombies.

After all, this thing is immortal. Although it has many limitations, it is better to live a miserable life than to die.

But the key point is that zombies are not human after all.

The relationship between the two is that of predator and food.

What comes back to life is just a brand new monster, no longer the you you were before death, and you won’t even have any memories of your previous life. You only know how to kill and bloodthirst.

If you become a zombie after death and are still yourself when you come back to life, then let's all fix the bug together so that no one dies.

"No exceptions?" Jiang Shan asked with a frown.

"No!" The old Taoist nodded decisively.

“Zombies, after all, are immortal. If they could really maintain their intelligence as they did in life, how many people in this world would voluntarily turn into zombies?” said the old Taoist priest with a wry smile.

"That's true." Jiang Shan nodded in understanding. If zombies could still be the same as they were when they were alive, then this thing wouldn't be a weird thing.

That's the right and bright path!

Who doesn’t want to become a zombie after death and enjoy the world again?

"However, according to legend, if one can cultivate to the point where one's bones do not decay, one can regain the memories of his previous life."

"But it is so difficult to achieve the state of not dissolving bones. To achieve this, it would probably require the blood of tens of millions of people!"

The old Taoist sighed.

It is not so easy to achieve without dissolving bones.

If it were that easy, he wouldn't be afraid of the Heavenly Masters of all generations in the underground palace turning into zombies. Not only would he not be afraid, he would also lend them a helping hand, because they were all his ancestors.

"Incorruptible bones? Then...can a being like the First Emperor's bones not dissolve after he is born?" Upon hearing the old Taoist's words, Jiang Shan's eyes lit up and he continued to ask.

"It's hard to say. According to the records of our ancestors and the ancestor Tianshi, the First Emperor might be more terrifying than the Unrotten Bones after he is born."

"It's possible to become the legendary drought demon!" The old Taoist priest looked solemn.

The fact that Zhang Daoling, the founder of heaven, was so frightened could only mean that the First Emperor was probably born as a ferocious god like Hanba!

Hanba is no longer a zombie, but a god of heaven and earth!
"Hanba?" Jiang Shan was a little confused. He had heard of this name but didn't know much about it.

"Hanba is actually no longer a zombie, but a god."

"Can he communicate? Does he have human thinking?" Jiang Shan asked hurriedly.

“It should be possible…” The old Taoist nodded uncertainly.

He had never seen a drought demon, all he had seen was from books, so he wasn't sure whether it was possible.

"If we can communicate... then there is something to talk about." Jiang Shan's thoughts became active.

He is not a Taoist priest, nor a practitioner, but an official.

Therefore, his thinking is certainly not as extreme as that of practitioners.

It's always a fight to the death.

Wouldn’t it be nice to have a talk?

He may not be able to exorcise demons, but negotiation is his forte.

Jianghu is not about fighting and killing, it is about human relations!

The terrifying thing about the state apparatus is that it can both fight and negotiate.

It is a combination of all strengths and advantages from all sides.

It is not like Taoism, which divides camps only in such an extreme way as good and evil.

"Lao Jiang, what do you want to do?" The old Taoist priest gradually came to his senses.

"Old Heavenly Master, I have communicated with the higher-ups."

"The meaning of the higher-ups is that if you can avoid fighting, then don't fight."

"I hope you can make a decision that goes against your ancestors." Jiang Shan straightened his face and said.

"What...what do you mean? Hey, don't be so naive, that's a zombie! Hey, zombie, you don't want to let that guy out to talk to him, do you?" The old Taoist priest was shocked by Jiang Shan's idea.

"You have to think about the consequences. This is not an ordinary zombie."

"Who is that? The First Emperor, Zulong! The first emperor in the world, who knows how great his luck is. If we can't come to an agreement, the eternal night will come!"

"Old Taoist Priest, times have changed. The distinction between good and evil has become too extreme. You should understand the principle that it is better to open up than to block." Jiang Shan quickly spoke to comfort them.

“No...this..." The old Taoist priest still had some objection.

Jiang Shan put his arm around the old Taoist priest's shoulders and said, "Oh, you didn't say that we should release that person right now."

"What I mean is, if things are really irreversible, then we might as well go with the flow, lend a helping hand to the First Emperor, and then talk about it."

"It doesn't matter if you want to rebuild the Qin Dynasty or if you want to suck blood."

"I've said it before, times have changed. Now there are not only maps of the Central Plains, but also maps of the world." Jiang Shan said as he looked at the countries of Xiao Rizi and Yingjiang.

"But...if we fail to reach an agreement with that person, the world will be in ruins!"

"Don't agree? Okay, then go ahead and fight." Jiang Shan spread his hands, indicating that the old master could enter the imperial mausoleum now.

Old Taoist Priest: Ah?
What the hell is he going to do? Even Zu Tianshi doesn’t dare to face this existence, what the hell is he going to do?

"Uh... well, it's true. It's better to unblock than to block."

"Well, I admit that I was the Taoist who spoke a little loudly just now."

"That's right." Jiang Shan nodded with a smile.

"We are not saying that we should take the initiative to release such a terrifying existence."

“It’s just an emergency insurance plan.”

"If something irreversible happens, we will have no choice." Jiang Shan sighed.
He didn't want this to happen, but the person in the underground palace was so terrifying.

Once the war starts, the Dragon Kingdom might be destroyed.

What's the difference between using a nuclear bomb to destroy your own country and committing suicide?
