Chapter Eighty-Three: The Past of the Heavenly Palace
"I'm so hungry......" Tianpeng dragged his steps at the back of the line, the whole person was extremely haggard, and the handsome face that was so handsome that people and gods were angry also lost its brilliance.
In order to avoid the search of the Heavenly Soldiers, they have not eaten for several days. Bailong and Jingliuli naturally have no problems, Xuanzang's body has been transformed, at least it will not affect his daily actions because of hunger. On the contrary, it was the canopy that became the first person who couldn't hold on.
"I thought you had the ability to mutate, and your physical strength should be good. It seems that you have only inherited the amount of food that the pig eats, and nothing else has been left. The white dragon said unceremoniously.
"What's the other good?"
"Turn it into food."
Tiancang lowered his head, moved depressedly for a while, and asked Xuanzang again: "Mr. Xuanzang, how long are we going to linger around here?" ”
Xuanzang replied: "Until we find an opportunity to cross the quicksand river." In fact, he was also embarrassed by the current predicament. The enemy had already taken precautions against the White Dragon, and it was too dangerous to attack the Heavenly Soldiers, and he couldn't think of a way for the four of them to cross the quicksand river for a while.
Canopy had offered to have the FTB transport them there in batches, but the Black Impermanence was too slow. In case they were discovered during transportation, they would either be separated from each other or shot down directly in the magma river, and they could not afford to take the risk.
Bai Long said dissatisfied: "I don't understand, do you have to go to the other side?" Do you still want to be a stalker and do something to that monk? ”
Xuanzang said: "I only need that one time to make a move on Shenfang for the time being." I wanted to go west because the further west you go, the more likely you are to discover the Golden Cicada legacy. ”
"How do you know?"
"The main battlefield of the rebel army is in the west, and there is a high probability that the east and west will be left there."
"It seems that so, the place where he was killed is also to the west." The white dragon said thoughtfully, and quickly complained, "But what if you find out, and then use it as bait for you to waste?" I won't be deceived anymore, and I said that I had a way to escape, and although I would usher in a stronger blow, I would also be able to greatly increase my strength. Now everyone can see that this guy only hit the first half. ”
"Only Dijiang has enough attraction, and at the same time, they are reluctant to let go of the attack, so they can delay time. It is the most suitable bait. In that case, we will not be able to save the Dijiang, but will attract more attention because of it, and we can only choose to sacrifice it. Xuanzang glanced at Jing Liuli and added, "Besides, we have taken down all the useful things." Isn't the addition of a powerful companion to the strength of the team? You actually know this, so you will agree to remote control Dijiang and leave. ”
"I understand the reason, but why did the little girl follow us so naturally?" Bai Long said, looking at Jing Liuli, waiting for her answer.
Jing Liuli looked back at her blankly.
Xuanzang relieved the siege and said: "Okay, you have asked her several times in the past few days, don't embarrass her again." Since she wants to, follow it. ”
Jing Liuli looked down at her toes and continued to be distracted.
Xuanzang had introduced her to the identities of several of them, but she didn't care if they were rebelling against Heavenly Court or anything else, and she didn't understand why she was willing to follow them.
Probably because Xuanzang gave her back the ghost engine? Although the engine has been installed on her for decades, she has never regarded it as her own personal possession. When Xuanzang handed it to her again, she vaguely realized that she seemed to really have something that belonged to "herself".
And the canopy, who was always good-tempered and good-looking, also promised to help her repair the nine spherical weapons. For the first time, she had a certain sense of "anticipation".
She rarely communicates with other people, who either want to hurt her, take away her gear, or are afraid of her. And now that she met this group of people who were a little special compared to others, she suddenly didn't have to be careful to keep her distance, and even the white dragon who always embarrassed her gave her an inexplicable sense of intimacy.
They don't need her obedience, but an equal acceptance. This is an unprecedented experience for Jingliuli.
Bai Long walked beside Jing Liuli at the same speed, tilted his head to observe her carefully, and suddenly said, "This guy is next to me, which makes me always feel like a ghost." Your FTB has questions and answers, she always has such a thin sense of existence, but people can't completely ignore it, it feels really awkward. ”
"Miss Bailong really cares about Miss Liuli." Tianpeng sighed, and then was punched in the stomach and squatted down in pain.
"You people in the Heavenly Court are all perverts, and I can simulate the workings of the human brain with the processor of a liquid robot. She has 90 percent of her human brain tissue, but you have raised it alive into a piece of wood, and you can't even think about it. ”
Tianpeng said innocently: "It's none of my business, why are you beating me......"
"It's nothing, this punch is feeling."
Bailong's words made Xuanzang also fall into the memories of the history of androids.
At that time, he had not yet provoked a war, and the reincarnation network of all evils and the technological blockade of the mortal world had not yet been widely spread, and the objectification attitude of the gods and Buddhas towards the special group of androids had already aroused his disgust.
Starting from a normal fertilized egg, it grows into an adult-sized body in a short period of time, and the body soaked in the culture medium has not yet experienced the world firsthand, and is put into the assembly line for semi-mechanized transformation. In the eyes of most people, the artificial humans thus created are not even human.
But what kind of existence is human?
machines loaded with human souls; It only has a body in a computer, but the body is a brain soaked in a vat; A thousand copies of consciousness were made, and cloned individuals were manipulated as puppets...... If these count as humans, why don't androids count?
If it weren't for the accident that followed, Joruri might have been like all of her companions in the Android Legion, who was essentially human, but was destined to exist only as a walking corpse-like tool.
Wait, that accident......
Xuanzang was suddenly surprised to find that although he was familiar with this period of history and had the concept of that safety accident in his mind, he didn't know anything about it.
Lost this memory?
He tried to ask Tian Peng about the past, but he had been pretending that he didn't know, so he wouldn't be suspicious.
"Mr. Xuanzang is interested in this." Tianpeng rubbed his stomach and recalled with a bitter face, "It's been a long time since that incident, and I haven't even become an immortal at that time. However, the terrorist attack on Tiangong is often preached as a safety teaching material, reminding everyone to be cautious of the monsters in the Nether and always pay attention to their movements to avoid a recurrence of the tragedy. ”
"Something to do with youkai?"
"Yes. Generally speaking, there are three types of things that are called youkai: monsters that have failed experiments or are caused by radiation mutations; man-made biological weapons; and unknown life forms that arise for unknown reasons outside the first two categories. It was this third type of monster that launched an attack on the Heavenly Palace.
"That youkai...... It's hard to describe what kind of existence it is, and from the records, it seems to be beyond the current scientific and technological knowledge, and it is a real monster that even the gods would fear. ”
Tenpon paused, as if remembering the youkai he had never faced, and it also made him feel some fear.
"Its code name is Wukong."
