Xia Yiqian, a little zombie who dreams of cultivating into a human, sleeps for 5000 years. Upon waking, she finds a wealthy benefactor to build her a temple. She aims to collect faith to achieve hu...
Xia Yiqian listened to the river god chattering and surprisingly felt that there was some truth in what she said.
After all, there were so many monsters on the mountain back then, and there were also mosquito monsters. But once the people living at the foot of the mountain had their blood sucked, the first person they thought of was not the mosquito monsters or bat monsters, but her, the zombie.
Could it be because those who were drained have two holes in their necks? But the bat demon also has two big teeth! Why does he always blame her for everything?
Maybe it was really a species issue. Her behavior was too high, and the bat spirit was only a hundred years old. She lived at the foot of Qingyun Mountain and didn't dare to wander around the village at all.
The river god was conveying the message to Xia Yiqian, so Xia Yiqian also conveyed the message back when she answered.
“But as human beings, no matter how high your cultivation level is, you won’t be feared.
The masters of Qingyun Temple at that time had extremely high cultivation levels, and the people worshipped and looked up to them without any doubt at all.
If they really wanted to suck someone dry, they could do it with their level of cultivation even if they practiced evil magic.
If I had been a highly skilled human being back then, they wouldn't have thought so of me."
"Tsk!" The River God chuckled, took a few steps forward, and placed his hand on Xia Yiqian's chest.
There were slight fluctuations there, which Xia Yiqian deliberately pretended to be a human. If no one really knew that the person in front of them was not a normal human, no one would have realized that she was a zombie.
The River God's smile remained unchanged as he communicated with Xia Yiqian, "Humans are not afraid of humans because they have dignity and a limit to their strength.
If a so-called person is only like a person in the physical sense, you can have the ups and downs of human breathing, and you can also fake a human heartbeat, and even if you put it on those high-precision instruments in the hospital, no errors will be detected.
As long as you disguise yourself well, others won't notice. What's the difference between you and others?
The reason why the master of Qingyun Temple is not suspected by the public is that everything he has done before is good things that benefit the country and the people, and is the light of righteousness. Even if he is a thousand-year-old fox spirit, as long as he hides his identity as a monster, no one will be afraid of him.
If a person with a long history of evil were to be the abbot, even if he converted to Buddhism, do you think those ordinary people would be afraid?
Humans, however, have a natural fear of zombies. If you had disguised yourself as a human and done good deeds every day, you wouldn't have been ostracized."
She gently poked Xia Yiqian's heart twice, "But from a spiritual perspective, becoming a human is another matter.
Some people are clearly human but are not worthy of being human, and some non-humans are clearly not human but are more like humans than humans.
Even if the body has become human, the soul still cannot be integrated with humans. It is just a painted skin monster in human skin. "
Xia Yiqian was a little confused by the river god's theory of being neither human nor inhuman.
It can be vaguely determined that what he was asking was whether he wanted to be a human being physically or spiritually.
If only the body is transformed into a human but the soul does not become a human, it will still be incompatible with this society.
As a zombie, her heart was no longer a fatal weakness. Even though the river god was poking her with his finger, she did not feel the slightest bit of danger.
He lowered his head and thought for a moment, then asked the river god in a serious tone, "How can my soul also become human?"
The River God curled the corners of his mouth slightly and looked at Xia Yiqian with a hint of seduction in his eyes.
"Love, hate, anger, ignorance, and desire are emotions that every human being should experience. Only by experiencing these emotions can one integrate into this society and truly become a human being."
Xia Yiqian blinked twice, and when she looked up at the River God, her eyes were full of uncertainty.
"You are not a human, how do you know?" It sounded reasonable, but he felt like something was wrong. Could it be that he was being fooled?
The River God stroked his temples and nonchalantly said, "Because I was once a human being!"
Xia Yiqian fell into a strange silence, and slowly said, "I used to be like that too."
River God: ...
The River God also felt that she had gone a little too far, but the man had to ask her for a favor and promised to find a way to let her leave once the task was completed. Even if she had to bite the bullet, she had to keep making up lies.
"But I'm older than you, and you've lived in the palace since you were a child, surrounded by maids and eunuchs who pamper you. You've had very little contact with ordinary people and are not very down-to-earth. Naturally, you don't understand the world of ordinary people.
If you really want to become a human being, shouldn't you absorb the opinions of the public?"
Xia Yiqian: ...?
