Changsheng: Peak at the Beginning

Of course it was impossible to take the child out for a boat ride on the lake before he was even one month old. Yu Ziyuan slapped Jiang Xinxin and Wei Ying in annoyance, and took her beloved grandson away, asking Jiang Xinxin and Wei Ying to take Lan Zhan out for a walk.

Although Jiang Xuan's full-moon ceremony and Jiang Xinxin and Wei Ying's engagement ceremony were held on the same day and not many guests were invited, they were grand and thoughtful enough. The two elders, Jiang Fengmian and Yu Ziyuan, not only presided over the full-moon ceremony and engagement ceremony in person, but also gave their blessings in front of all the guests.

Looking at the heart-shaped pendant on his waist that was exactly the same as the one worn by Jiang Xinxin, Wei Ying's heart finally settled down.

Of course he knew that Jiang Xinxin didn't have enough feelings for him, but Jiang Xinxin's clear response and the fact that she gave him a grand and public marriage ceremony were far beyond what he had asked for. Coupled with the lovely child Jiang Xuan, he felt that he had come to this world just to meet them, father and son.

After more than ten years of reform by Jiang Xinxin, the Yunmeng Jiang family has long been on the right track. In addition to the direct descendants of the Jiang family, there are also many orphans or talented children brought back from various places by disciples during night hunting.

Although the world of cultivation has been dominated by aristocratic families for hundreds of years, they have also trained many disciples under the pretext of being retainers. So although they do not have the name of a sect, it is actually the same thing. Jiang's actions did not attract the attention of other aristocratic families at all, because everyone did the same thing.

After Jiang Xuan completed basic enlightenment at the age of five, he went to school with other disciples of similar age in the Lotus Pier to receive basic education. Jiang Xinxin and Wei Ying finally made time to go out hunting at night. This time, their target was the Yiling Mass Burial Mounds.

Coming to Yiling again, Wei Ying was filled with emotion: "When I was a child, I thought about solving the problem of mass graves and providing a safe place for the people around. But when I grew up a little and embarked on the long road of cultivation, I realized that the mass graves could not be solved by human power."

"Now it's good. My cultivation has reached the point where I can resolve the evil spirit and resentment in the sky. This is really unpredictable."

Jiang Xinxin had some guesses in her mind and only mentioned them to Jiang Fengmian. However, after Jiang Fengmian brought Wei Ying back, he also mobilized a lot of forces to investigate, but he did not get any solid evidence that the death of Wei Ying's parents was related to the Wen family. So now she couldn't say anything to Wei Ying. Besides, the Wen family had been destroyed long ago, and the only members of the clan who were preserved were those who had long separated from Wen Ruohan's lineage and lived separately in Dafan Mountain.

Jiang Xinxin pretended to interrupt Wei Ying's sigh casually: "From a distance, we can feel the dark energy and resentment that covers the sky and the sun in this mass grave. We must be more fully prepared before we go in."

There is a place around the mass grave that was renamed Yicheng and has some people living there, but Jiang Xinxin and Wei Ying can both see that the reason these people didn't leave is either because they are too old or too weak, or because they have no financial support. In any case, they are people who cannot afford to leave.

So when they heard that Jiang Xinxin and Wei Ying wanted to go into the mass grave, they all advised them: "Almost every year, there are some cultivators who want to go in and take a look, but many people go in, but few come out. The two young masters are still young, it is not worth it to lose their lives in the mass grave."

Wei Ying smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. We just look young, but we actually have children. We know the pros and cons of going into the mass grave. We are all disciples of the head of the Yunmeng Jiang Clan, so we have to carry some life-saving items with us."

Several elders and big brothers continued to persuade them for a while, but seeing that Jiang Xinxin and Wei Ying were unmoved, they could only watch them enter the mass grave with worry and a little hope.

The issue of the mass grave needed to be resolved urgently, because the negative energy emanating from the outside was almost covering the entire Yicheng. Those who remained in the city would die prematurely in a few years due to long-term exposure to negative energy and resentment. Even just for their previous good intentions, Jiang Xinxin and Wei Ying were ready to resolve the mass grave as soon as possible.

Not to mention the dense and inextricable evil spirit and resentment in this mass grave, there is also the pervasive miasma that could easily corrode even a cultivator if he entered.

Besides, the yin energy that covers the sky and blocks the sunlight. Even if there are birds, beasts, insects and fish that managed to escape the erosion of the yin energy and resentment, they could not escape the damage caused by the long-term darkness. Therefore, the only noise inside was the wailing of various ghosts and the sound of the wind when they moved. Any monk who came in would immediately become the prey of these ghosts and be torn to pieces in an instant if his mind was slightly shaken.

Jiang Xinxin and Wei Ying had previously applied many breath-suppressing talismans to themselves to prevent the leakage of their own breath and avoid being targeted by the ghosts in the mass grave too early, so the journey was very peaceful. Except that there was no road under their feet and they had to open it by themselves, they did not encounter any other difficulties.

When we finally got closer to the center of the mass grave, we no longer saw those leafless, fallen trees on the hillside, darkened by negative energy and resentment. Instead, there were towering forests that retained their leaves but had long lost their vitality.

Wei Ying suggested softly, “Let’s not rush in, let’s take a look around first.”

Jiang Xinxin nodded in agreement with Wei Ying's words. The words "be wary of the green gauze tent" were applicable to both ancient and modern times, even though she had become a Jindan cultivator now.

After turning a mountain, Jiang Xinxin took Wei Ying to eat something and rest for a while before changing direction again. This time the scenery that came into view was indeed different, but it was even more shocking, because before, what was half buried in the ground were just rocks and trees, but now there were people of various shapes half buried in the ground.

Because they inevitably have the smell of food on their bodies after eating, these "people" start to get restless when they smell the scent of strangers. It turns out that these "people" have been infected by negative energy and resentment and turned into zombies.

These zombies moved just like zombies. Some of them were monks in their previous lives, so they were much more powerful than zombies after becoming zombies. Jiang Xinxin and Wei Ying quickly retreated.

"Ah Cheng, what should we do? These people have no spiritual consciousness, and their souls are nowhere to be found. It is useless to use the method of salvation!"

At first, Wei Ying didn't realize that these people had lost their souls, so he retreated while trying to chant scriptures and mantras to save the zombies that were too close. However, he didn't expect that no matter whether it was the scriptures or the mantras, no matter how much spiritual power he used, they could only stop the zombies for a moment. There was not even a trace of souls to be found in these zombies, which were completely different from the puppets made of Yin Iron and ordinary zombies.

Jiang Xinxin took the time to open her third eye and saw that these zombies were mutated yin bodies that had been infected by a large amount of yin energy and resentment. The only way to destroy them was to use strange fire or a large amount of yang energy.

There was a strange fire in Jiang Xinxin's space. She embraced the already breathless Wei Ying, and released the strange fire with her other hand. Even though the zombies had no feeling at all, they were quickly burned to ashes after being touched by the strange fire. It turned out that this method could really be used to destroy these zombies.
