Zombie Life Begins in Hongxi Village

"Let's go, the smell here is too strong. Let's go to Banwan Village up ahead," Lin Yi said, turning to the girls.

The girls were also startled. They nodded quickly, grabbed their luggage, and followed Lin Yi.

Wang Xiaoming and Lao Yutou watched their departing figures, their mouths agape, but in the end, neither of them dared to utter a sound to stop them.

Not long after, Lin You's body floated to the surface of the sea and drifted back to the shore with the waves.

A murky ghost was ripped from his corpse, pulled by the dense yin energy of the seabed, and the whole person sank into the boiling seawater.

He turned into a water ghost.

"It's so hot! It's burning me!!"

Under the blazing sun on the sea, he felt as if his whole body was being pressed into boiling oil, and the pain made him desperately try to burrow deeper.

But how deep can a vengeful ghost, formed from a living soul, hide?

A short while later, his soul was carried away by the undercurrent again.

The days ahead are long, with scorching sun like boiling oil, torrential rain like a thousand arrows piercing the heart, and nights like falling into an ice cellar.

What's even more tragic is that while other water ghosts have a slim chance of reincarnation after their lifespan is over, Lin You, who offended the King of the Underworld, will never be able to leave this sea area for all eternity.

Lin Yi led the five girls along the country road for about fifteen minutes, and then they saw the outline of Banwan Village.

The village was much larger than I had imagined; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it a small town.

The cement road leading into the village is wide and flat, lined with shops on both sides, including general stores, cloth shops, teahouses, and herbal medicine shops.

Some of the small buildings even have arched gates made of red bricks, which make them look particularly grand on this remote island.

Lin Yi, who had read "The Corpse Family Land", knew that the reason this village was so wealthy was because their ancestors had once robbed an official ship from Nanyue that was being presented as tribute to the imperial court, and plundered countless gold and silver treasures.

Some of the stolen goods are still buried under private land in the south of the village.

Among the stolen offerings was a special item—

A Qin Dynasty corpse suppressed by Zhong Kui's sword and a bronze coin used to ward off evil spirits.

Years ago, the village invited a master to perform a ritual, sealing the Qin corpse and the ghosts of those who had been killed as tribute bearers in the ground south of the village to protect their ill-gotten gains.

However, the vengeful spirits of those who came to pay tribute were so deep that they sacrificed themselves to forcibly revive the Qin corpse, and cursed to kill all the Qian, Li, and Yang families who were the leaders back then.

In order to suppress the evil spirits and reduce the corpse energy of the Qin corpse, Banwan Village invites Taoist priests to perform rituals every year.

Life could have continued peacefully, but later a widow who couldn't stand the loneliness began an affair with a stranger.

The village's secret was inadvertently revealed, ultimately leading to the breaking of the seal and the deaths of everyone in Banwan Town at the hands of vengeful ghosts and Qin corpses.

As for who Qin Shi was, Lin Yi wasn't sure either.

The show portrays him as Qin Shi Huang, but that's impossible.

How could Qin Shi Huang's corpse possibly appear in Nanyue? Moreover, in this world, Qin Shi Huang has already been turned into a zombie by Xu Fu.

The history of this crossover world is already very chaotic, and many things cannot be deduced by common sense.

Can you believe that the tomb where Empress Dowager Cixi was buried was found in Gantian Town in the southern Guangdong and Guangxi regions?

Lin Yi had no interest whatsoever in the treasures of the Shi family's important territory.

The asteroid he captured from outer space, which he keeps in his Buddhist kingdom, contains more gold than the combined gold reserves of all countries in the world today.

So money held no appeal for him.

What he was really interested in was the Qin corpse.

In the movie, the Qin corpse was extremely weak. It could fly after absorbing a few breaths of moonlight, and even Zhong Kui's sword could not kill it.

Based on its appearance in the movie, it is very likely a wood-type zombie!

Lin Yi and several girls booked a few superior rooms at Yuelai Inn, the largest inn in the village.

Nianying shared a room with Lin Xiaohua, while Lin Qingqing shared a room with Yan Ruyu, and Lin Yi naturally shared a room with Ren Qingqing.

After assigning rooms, Nianying knocked on Linyi's door and said she wanted to go out for a walk.

Lin Yi had come out to relax, so she naturally had no objections and nodded in agreement.

"Let's go, the waiter just said that the fish balls and tofu pudding here are quite famous, let's go try them," Lin Yi suggested.

"Ugh—" Nianying gagged and waved her hand reproachfully, "Brother-in-law, stop talking about fish balls and tofu pudding. I still feel nauseous from that female corpse."

The other girls also waved their hands repeatedly, their faces turning pale.

The sight of the swollen, giant female corpse was a tremendous shock to them.

Ren Qingqing remained calm, but she didn't say much; she simply took Lin Yi's hand quietly.

"Alright then, let's just wander around and eat later." Lin Yi smiled helplessly.

Just as Lin Yi and his group were strolling around the village, another large passenger ship slowly docked.

The boys from Sanyu Middle School set up tents on the cleaned beach.

The boy with glasses spotted Lin Yi and her friends' tent immediately and perked up, pulling his two companions over to strike up a conversation.

Unfortunately, the tent was empty, and the three returned disappointed.

"They probably went to Banwan Village to buy something."

Fatty sat back down on the sand, taking off his shoes as he said, "This weather is so hot! Let's go swimming first, and we can launch our attack when they come back."

"That's all we can do." The boy with glasses nodded.

The three of them changed into their swimming trunks and, yelling, rushed towards the sea.

Then, the two couples also went into the water.

The sunlight turned the sea into a white-gold color, and several young people were playing and laughing in the shallow water.

In the deep water, the water ghost was being tortured like being boiled in oil.

It stared venomously at the group of frolicking young people in the shallow sea, its mouth splitting open like a black hole, and it muttered in a voice only it could hear:

"Why are you all so happy while I'm suffering so much? You all deserve to die!"

Meanwhile, in another body of water not far away, Lin You, who had just transformed into a water ghost, was wailing incessantly.

Several students swam past him, but he couldn't see them; in his distorted senses, he couldn't see any human beings.

Teacher Wang glanced at the students, shook her head, and headed towards the North District Police Station. She was going to find her childhood friend, Wang Xiaoming.

Led by a villager, the opera troupe, carrying their costumes, headed towards Banwan Village. They were going to perform "The Flood of Jinshan Temple" that night.

As Lin Yi and her group passed a general store, a man sneaked out.

He had just bought a roll of hemp rope from the shop and was hurriedly turning to leave when a piece of yellow paper, folded several times, slipped out of his pocket and landed at the doorway.

Yan Ruyu, with her sharp eyes, bent down and picked it up. She looked up to call out to the man, but he was walking very fast and disappeared around the corner.

"Why does this person walk like a ghost? They disappear in the blink of an eye."

Yan Ruyu muttered something to herself and opened the yellow paper with a puzzled look.

"A plum blossom blooms in the south of the village, a plum blossom blooms on the rocky cliff."

The sound of flowing water echoes through the rocks and flowers, a gentle murmur as the water murmurs against the rocks.

The babbling murmurs rise like clouds and mist, and the clouds and mist rise from the high mountains.

The mountains and rivers remain, and the river still flows south of the village.

A hunchback seeks a pearl, and the Eight Immortals offer their assistance.

The two polarities give rise to the four symbols, and the universe also shifts.

"A private estate, where the wealthiest people in the world reside!"
