It actually belongs in this world, even though the time periods are messed up. The Talisman Zombie is a Qing Dynasty official, while both this world and Journey To The West take place during the Ming Dynasty.

If you search up pictures of Qing Dynasty officials, A.K.A. mandarin (bureaucrat), you'll see that they wear similar hats and cloaks, and both have the pigtail. The pigtail was made compulsory by the ruling Manchus during the Qing Dynasty. The Talisman Zombie is actually a Chinese hopping vampire, or otherwise known as a jiangshi (stiff corpse). You can read more about these on Wikipedia or on the Internet.

Hope this helps.
