342. Night Visit (4)
Because he couldn't see their expressions clearly, and couldn't rely on other perceptions such as smell and hearing to guess their possible thoughts at this time from other sides, Gao Ran secretly counted to "ten" in his heart before continuing:
"I'm not afraid to tell you my true intentions directly, yes, I just want to make it difficult for you to unite again. But I think even if I hadn't said it, you would have thought about it, wouldn't you? So, there's really no real difference between me saying it and not saying it.
"If there is a difference, it is only that once the matter is revealed, it will be difficult for you to turn a blind eye to it. Whether you admit it or not, in fact, you have been forced by me to see what already exists in your hearts. That's not what I gave you, it's something you've been there for a long time, and I'm just forcing you to see it exist.
"But as for what happens after that...... Oh, then let yourselves prove for yourselves: I will wait and see if the true desires of your hearts are stronger, or whether your so-called 'affection', which is evidently already hindering your true desires, is stronger.
Fu Wenxuan let out a long sigh and reached out to gently hold Gao Ran's hand.
Gao Ran was startled at first, but quickly relaxed. Although at this distance, she couldn't see which of the two people in front of her was holding her hand, but since the other party dared to hold her hand and still be safe, it would only be Fu Wenxuan.
Fu Wenxuan didn't speak, he just gently held Gao Ran's hand, and held it for a long time, so long that Gao Ran's originally cold hand was warmed by him.
"Wenxuan, I'm sorry. But no matter how difficult this road is, it must be continued. If you really want to get what you want. You and I are actually the same......"
"I understand. As he spoke, Fu Wenxuan shook Gao Ran's hand slightly harder before letting go of her hand again and no longer touching her. Then he turned to Amu and said, "Amu, I will definitely try my best to protect you in the future." However, if you are bent on seeking death, then you naturally still have the right to decide your own life and death, and I will not interfere in it. But until then, I want you to fulfill me and yourself. Tell Gao Ran that you want to know the truth. I know, you think. Because you're just like me...... It's all his son!"
In the face of Fu Wenxuan's request, Amu couldn't help but be moved.
"Yes, even if what Gao Ran said is true, even if Dad is really just using me, even if ...... I am still willing to do all that he has...... But at least before I die, I should fulfill myself once, so that I can die without regrets......"
Thinking like this, Amu finally relented. He finally said to Gao Ran in person: "I want to know the truth, you can say it." ”
Gao Ran smiled slightly apologetically, and then said slowly:
"Actually, the power that my junior uncle is now in control is not so much controlled by him, but rather temporarily guarded by him. This force only belongs to the Medical Valley, but it does not really belong to any specific person, and any disciple who is selected to take over the duty of caretaker is only temporary. Therefore, in addition to my junior uncle, there is actually at least one alternate candidate, but the list is only known to the valley master. Therefore, I only know that my junior uncle is now in charge of guarding this force, but who the alternate person is, only the current valley master of the Medical Valley, my master, knows, but he will not tell me.
"So, even if I can guarantee that as long as I don't cooperate, Gao Liwen won't be able to use me to convince Uncle Xiao to help him, but since Gao Liwen can find out this secret, it's hard to guarantee that he won't find out who the other candidate who should only be known to my master is?
"Even if I am sure, without my help, Gao Liwen will definitely not be able to move my junior uncle, but what about the other person? I don't even know who he is, how can I prevent it? And since he can be selected as an alternate, then his strength will definitely not be inferior to my junior uncle. In this way, if he is moved by Gao Liwen's words, I am afraid that not only will that power be abused, but even my junior uncle himself may encounter accidents. Bright swords are easy to dodge, but hidden arrows are difficult to defend against. What's more, I still don't know which of the other party's secret arrows is?!
"That's why I have to let you know the truth before I do, so that you can be prepared in time. And only by keeping you can we build a buffer between me and Gao Liwen, whether he wants it or not, I can also use you to protect myself more securely. That's why I have to let you know the truth. ”
"I believe in you. Fu Wenxuan responded to Gao Ran in a timely manner, so that she could really tell the truth with confidence.
Amu was silent, he was just listening, but he didn't want to have more communication with Gao Ran.
However, there is Fu Wenxuan, who can make up for Gao Ran's current shortcomings and detect Amu's actual reaction in time for her, and can give her feedback in a timely manner, which is enough for her.
After getting Fu Wenxuan's feedback, Gao Ran finally told the truth with confidence:
"We have a unique secret technique in the Medical Valley, which can transfer souls into the body.
"Specifically, it's about taking 'you' out of your own body and transferring it into another person's body. Then, in the eyes of others, 'you' are the other person, because you are using another person's body.
"But there are conditions to do so, first of all, your own body must be on the verge of death, and the person you want to enter the soul must also be your direct blood relative, and the other person must also be in a state of near-death, so that 'you' can invade his body and occupy his body at the same time, and at the same time absorb all his memories and the skills that his body has mastered, so that they can be used by 'you' and become a part of 'you' in the future.
"When this process is complete, that person will die completely, and it will be the 'you' who occupies his body that will be reborn in him. ”
After Gao Ran finished speaking, she was greeted only by silence. Even "Seven", who was just watching the show from the sidelines, couldn't help but be surprised at the moment and just stood stunned, trying to digest what he had just heard as soon as possible. He even kept questioning: Did he just hallucinate just now? Could it be that what he heard just now was really true? Soul transfer into the body? Is it really? Is this kind of thing really existing? Is there really someone...... Can it be done?
The more "Seven" thought about it, the more he felt that if what Gao Ran just said was true, then the Medical Valley would be really terrifying. For the first time, he couldn't help but have a deep fear of Yigu. Even the Heavenly Pavilion had never made him feel so afraid.
"Could it be that you think I'm deceiving you? don't you believe what I said?" After waiting for a while and still not hearing any movement, Gao Ran silently counted to "ten" in his heart again before he took the initiative to speak again, "'Soul Transfer' does exist, although I can't tell you who has experienced it, and I can't tell you how this process is realized, but I can indeed use my life to vouch for it, this matter does exist!"
At this point, Gao Ran closed his mouth, and instead said secretly in his heart:
"It's just that the person who has been transferred into the body is me, and the body that 'I' has entered is likely to be the body of another me in another time and space. Perhaps, in addition to the direct bloodline, because of some exceptional special circumstances, 'self' can also return to one's own body......
"But apparently, my arrival should have been an accident. If Yigu didn't intend to resurrect Gao Ran in this world in time, then my borrowing of her body was just an accidental side effect of Yigu when he used that power.
"Perhaps, from the moment I came to this other world, I was destined to intersect with the Medical Valley sooner or later, and I will have a close connection with the Medical Valley for the rest of my life. It's like I'm here because of it, even if I die, I'm afraid that most of it will be inseparable from it.
"Even if I hadn't met Zhao Yi at the beginning, sooner or later I would still have to worship under the door of the Medical Valley because of other coincidences, and I would never be able to get rid of the Medical Valley. Sooner or later, I will meet disciples like Zhao Yi and Zhao Feng, and when the time comes, either I will take the initiative to entangle myself, or the other party will look at me as 'pleasing to the eye' and force me to worship him as a teacher...... The probability of such a thing happening to me is actually very high......"
"So, if what you say is true, if my father can really use this power for himself, then won't he ...... Can you live forever?" Among the two, it was still Fu Wenxuan who calmed down first, returned to the current reality, and gave Gao Ran some reactions.
When Gao Ran heard this, he immediately retracted his thoughts, and responded to Fu Wenxuan:
"That's true. If other obstacles are not considered, if Gao Liwen can really control the power of this 'soul transfer' at all times, then he can indeed continue by first invading his son's body, and then transferring from his son's body to the body of his future 'grandson' and so on, then he can indeed be regarded as having eternal life. It's just that he does it by constantly encroaching on younger bodies that are directly related to his previous body.
"Therefore, although judging from the current situation, even if Gao Liwen exhausts his current life, even if he can really unify the entire land including Yunxiang, Banana Country and the small countries in the middle as he wishes, it will not be possible for him to make the people of these different regions really accustomed to his rule within the lifetime of his body, and it will take time. It takes time for the run-in and integration between ethnic groups and the mutual penetration of folk customs and cultures.
"If Gao Liwen only has this life of his current body, then he will definitely not be able to wait for that day. Even if no one can shake his rule in his lifetime, there will always be a day when he will die. At that time, what he dreamed of would most likely fall apart quickly because the foundation was too weak. Everything came to naught, like a dream.
However, if he can bring his life infinitely closer to eternal life, then what he wants to achieve may not be impossible to achieve. Because the time he will have is too much. That's enough for him to accomplish a great task that would have taken several generations, or even several different dynasties, to achieve even if it had gone very smoothly in the general direction.
"What Gao Liwen wants to do, if he only has this life, and there are still so many large and small forces that hinder him, then it is basically impossible for him to achieve his wish in this life. But what if he could get a few lifetimes? Even if he couldn't get rid of all his rivals in this lifetime, what if his rivals themselves died one after another because of their limited lifespan? And what if he had enough patience to kill all of his rivals?
"Sometimes, in addition to the resourcefulness, strength, and indispensable luck and resources that can match it, it is necessary to have enough patience, stamina, and a long enough life to match such strong endurance. Even if you are willing to wait, then you have to have a life and enough time to wait. Otherwise, the result is often only a regret that is not enough.
"So, don't look at what Gao Liwen wants seems to be a fantasy and a fool's dream at the moment, but once he finds a feasible means to achieve his goals, and the resources and his own qualities that he should have, he can master them one by one, and can control them freely, plus if he can have enough time to match his strong enough stamina, then his thing, which seems impossible to do in the eyes of ordinary people, is it really impossible to achieve? I don't think so!"
