Taoist Priest, Stop the Act, I’m a Real Zombie!

Lin Feng transmigrates. But the System detects that this parallel world is about to be invaded by the Weird. So it sends him back a thousand years. As long as he is buried underground for a full thousand years, he can transform into a thousand-year-old flying jiangshi. A thousand years later. Before Lin Feng has even regained the ability to move, someone digs him up. The person who unearths him is a fake Taoist priest who makes a living conning people with a partner. Today, the Taoist priest's act is to burn a jiangshi alive. Beforehand, though, the fake priest invites a female streamer to broadcast the spectacle live, hoping to boost his fame. Little does he know that the same scene is playing out in the neighboring village, where the Taoist priest is the real deal. As luck would have it, the moment the fake priest gets out of his car, villagers drag him over to the real jiangshi, while the real priest is sent to the fake one. After waking up, Lin Feng watches the fake priest busily putting on a convincing show, breathing fire and sticking on talismans. Amused, he plays along for a while. But before long, he gets bored. He rises from the blazing fire, brushes the flames off himself, and walks toward the fake priest. “Stop pretending, Taoist. I'm a real jiangshi!” The livestream chat explodes. Meanwhile, the real priest realizes the jiangshi on his side is fake and is already sweating buckets. When the real priest hurries over, Lin Feng shrugs. “Priest, you may be the real deal, but you're no match for me. Save your strength for the Weird invasion.” At first, the priest refuses to believe it. But after a couple of exchanges, even his attitude changes. “Who says a Taoist priest can't be friends with a jiangshi?” “Lin and I are sworn brothers who have faced life and death together.”
