[67] Those who long for immortality
Dao Shun stood on top of the pavilion, looking at the big red ghost test subject crawling out of the dungeon from a distance.
Dressed in a white robe, wearing a lotus crown, holding a red sandalwood rosary in his hand, his eyebrows are quiet and peaceful, like a god and Buddha who are beyond the mortal world.
At first glance, anyone has to be frightened by this appearance.
As long as you don't open your mouth, you will be the little monk with the most expensive tomorrow morning!
However, if you look closely, you can find a faint smile on the corner of Monk Daoshun's mouth.
"Master...... Master......"
"Did you see that?"
"I did."
Dao Shun lowered his head and muttered, but his voice trembled slightly, and his tone was hideous with a hint of a venting roar, but he immediately regained his composure and continued to be spotlessly born.
Through his thin white monk's robe, a human face is engraved in the heart of the Daoshun monk.
The bare old face seemed to be able to see through the clothes, and the corners of the mouth that were cracked in the chest like a scar trembled slightly, making a very slight sound.
"I see it."
"You're doing a great job."
"Sure enough, it was right for us to abandon the name of the reed and choose the path of the inner house."
"If you had done it earlier...... If Dao Xuan was also with me, then we would have been immortal a long time ago. ”
"Ha, thanks to the Venerable Master's suggestion."
There was a hint of sarcasm in his tone.
However, humans are such complex creatures.
Even if they share the same body, it is difficult for the minds of the master and apprentice to communicate with each other.
He pinned his last life on the body of the disciple with this method of prolonging his life, just to see the results of his life's research, but he didn't see the distorted and crazy expression on Daoshun's low face.
The voice is still so warm.
"Yes, thanks to the Venerable Master's suggestion."
Dao Shun echoed the master again and again.
The Great Red Ghost ran rampant in the center of Reeds City, affecting countless civilians, and the scene was extremely tragic and bloody.
However, only a hundred feet apart, as the initiator and the real murderer, the master and apprentice, still talked and laughed on the watchtower without the slightest guilt.
Guilty?
What is guilt?
For research maniacs like Daoshun and Dao Ce, it is a sin to not be able to satisfy their thirst for knowledge, and it is the greatest shame to be unable to fill their endless curiosity.
There are so many things they can sacrifice for this, and what has already been sacrificed.
Credibility, faith, humanity, reason, dignity, and even life.
If you don't have the heart of a madman, you can't get a madman's work.
If there were no madmen in this world who longed for immortality and cashed it into reality, how could there be such a wonderful product in the world.
Yourself, how can you ......
Alive.
Dao Ce silently sighed in his heart.
Daoshun and Dao Ce were both monks in Xianfeng Temple back then, but long before they entered the temple, Xianfeng Temple had become a veritable biochemical laboratory, and most of the senior monks had already obtained real immortal life through the method of insect possession.
The longest-lived monk who built the temple, the 'Xianfeng Venerable', has even lived for a full 800 years.
He still looks like he is fifty or sixty years old, and his agility is comparable to that of the past.
Under the temptation of countless desires and group guidance, they gradually became what they did not know.
However, in Xianfeng Temple, are there still people who stay awake?
Of course there is.
Dao Ce's brow furrowed like a scar on Dao Shun's chest.
At that time, his senior brother Dao Xuan, as well as his apprentices, were the few monks in Xianfeng Temple who insisted on Buddhism and human nature.
After learning that he was going to start researching a new immortal product, Dao Xuan left Xianfeng Temple with the monk who adhered to Buddhism.
And most of the immortal monks who survived in Xianfeng Temple began to become crazy and irrational because of the side effects of the water of change or the lake of change.
Such a person is obviously not enough.
What Dao Ce longs for is not such immortality.
If you don't live rationally, it's better to keep your last calm death.
But why do people age so easily?
Why is the human body so fragile and perishable?
Dao Ce has studied this all his life.
In the end, he developed the product that condensed his life's work.
Red Oni.
and another product...... People attached.
Since the body is prone to decay, it is good to pour your will into a strong body.
Is there any creature whose body is stronger than the red ghost?
As for the human attachment, it is a way he researched by referring to the survival mode of the parasites in the body of the 'Xianfeng Venerable', and the way to send the brain to other bodies.
To do this, he has done too many experiments.
The end result is his current state.
The old face that hovered on Dao Shun's chest like a human scar showed an extremely hideous smile.
Although his body had died and rotted from old age, he was still alive—in his young apprentice's body, alive.
Even if it's so ugly, it's life, isn't it?
Ever since experiencing the despair of death once, Dao Ce has become enlightened.
What I look like flesh and skin, it's all false, but there is a flat boat on the bitter sea, and it can be discarded.
The boat of friendship has capsized, can we still get on the big boat of the date?
However, at the time of his death, the body test of the red ghost was not mature enough, and the developed red ghost only lost his self-consciousness, but did not lose his instinct.
Such a body is not an 'empty shell'.
Even if Dao Ce transplanted his own brain into it, it would only be a lodging, not a manipulation.
That's not going to work.
He needs more experiments.
However, the city could no longer support these experiments.
The attitude of the young chief of Reina was very clear - what they wanted was only the most basic kind of change like water, even if it was a slightly more advanced change of the water of change, they only traded two copies.
How could this material be enough for their master and apprentice to conduct two experiments?
At this time, the master and apprentice completely forgot that the reason why Xianfeng Temple wanted to study the power of immortality at the beginning was to help Reeda protect this land.
Their hearts have long been hollowed out by the endless immortal desire.
They only need what they want.
Immortal.
However, when the situation of communication with the inner government was at a loss, the Venerable Immortal Peak appeared.
At the same time, they also brought news from the inner house.
Hundreds of strong corpses poured into the dungeon, becoming the best test subjects for their master and apprentice.
The Venerable Immortal Peak, who created the source of all immortality, didn't care about it, and after bringing the news, he left directly.
This behavior made Daoce and their experiments make great progress.
The big red ghost in front of me is one of the best works.
Moreover, the performance of the Venerable Master of Xianfeng also made Dao Ce extremely coveted.
To tell the truth, when he entered the temple as the heir of a small nobleman, he came to the Venerable Master of Xianfeng.
Eight hundred years of life, still so sensible.
What a wonderful thing to look forward to.
However, now, Dao Ce has become more and more contemptuous of this guide who stayed 800 years ago and did not want to make progress.
He will definitely step on the entire Xianfeng Temple and carry forward the power of immortality.
He wants to prove by his actions that his philosophy is correct.
Just when Dao Ce was falling into memory, Dao Shun suddenly raised his head, looked at the air in a daze, and unconsciously stretched out his fingers.
"Division...... Master! ”
"What's that?!"
