Chapter 179: Humanoid Weapons
There is a world of difference between people and weapons.
Compared with the blades made of gold and iron, the flesh and blood body is too fragile, and even without gold and iron, only sharp wood, as long as the strength is greater, it can easily pierce the flesh and blood - this is why people need to use blades to fight, on the one hand, the blade is better to use than the human body, and on the other hand, because compared to the fragile human body, the impact and wear of the blade is always more acceptable.
But the blade is not without its shortcomings.
"Three more of our men have been captured."
Outside the prison, there is a man with a big waist and a round waist who is frowning.
"When they were transferred, they were found with daggers, and the dogs were taken down...... These dogs are so vicious! ”
"If you are caught by Yu Gou, you are dead, even if you don't die, you will be a traitor for your life."
In front of the majestic man, a man with a gloomy face shook his head again and again.
"Don't underestimate our enemies, they know exactly what to do against us...... So you're still against me doing that? ”
"You...... Forget it, it's fine. ”
As he said this, the two men turned their heads at the same time and looked into the cage.
Facing the sight of the two men, Du Chengfeng only felt chills all over his body, it was not looking at human eyes, but more like looking at an object.
Or rather, some kind of consumable.
The conversation between the two men did not avoid him, and it was obvious that in the eyes of these two men, the body he felt at the moment, and the other children in the cage, were nothing more than objects like tables, chairs and benches, and no one would doubt that an oil lamp would eavesdrop on it, not to mention that all the children, including him, were indeed like objects, only lying there, unable to even say half a word.
However, it is precisely because of this that Du Chengfeng's perspective has heard more and ulterior news.
Those two men, as well as other people outside the prison, they all live here are the remnants of the old Chu, after the rise of the Yu Dynasty and the decline of the old Chu, the scholars of Dayu launched a thorough pursuit of the remnants of the previous dynasty, and never gave them the slightest chance - as for the method of chasing and killing, this is not difficult, as long as it is against the source of power of the Chu people.
So, after those readers reached a consensus, this emerging Dayu began to ban knives.
In addition to the official court, the common people are not allowed to hide the blade privately, and if there is a violation, the previous court will punish the remnants.
Although on a large scale, this ban has attracted a lot of criticism, but at least in terms of results, this ban accurately hit the dead hole of the remnants of the old Chu - they can't carry fierce sword soldiers, and their strength is eight or nine times out of ten, but they can't really use the army to do it, just because what those scholars want is to force them out of the old Chu remnants who are hidden in the people.
Either fight to the death, and then completely die under the encirclement and suppression of a group of masters, or give up the blade, give up their strength and persistence, lose that otherworldly ability, and completely obscure everyone.
This is the way left by the Yu Dynasty for the remnants of the Chu people, no matter which one is chosen, it means the complete destruction of the old Chu.
However, the readers of the Yu Dynasty still missed a little.
The unwilling remnants of the old Chu have embarked on a third path that transcends common sense itself.
At present, the children in this cage are trying to take this path, and the remnants of the old Chu who have no way to go finally set their sights on what their ancestors have never done - that is, to temper the body itself with evil qi, turn the flesh and blood body into a weapon, and completely break through the limit of the flesh and blood body, so as to realize the secret method of ascending to the heavens by feathering and ascending to immortals.
"After all, our predecessors have done it, and the overlord halberd they created can even hide in the host's body, which is enough to prove that whether it is the blade, or the human body, or even the evil qi itself, there are too many areas that we have not touched."
The grim-faced man had spoken of his ambitions in front of the cage, and likewise those words did not avoid the children in the cage.
Because it's not necessary.
The children in the cage were as silent as death, including the perspective that Du Chengfeng was feeling right now, that is, Nanchen Taizu himself - of course, at the moment, this child may not be called Nanchen Taizu, he has no name, not even a number.
Just because there are too few children in the cage.
There were too few of them, and they were getting smaller and fewer, after all, such a thing as evil qi was extremely dangerous for adults, let alone young children—but soon, Du Chengfeng knew that these children were probably more than just what they seemed.
They can't even be counted as people.
It's not about treatment, but literally not being a person, and it wasn't until Du Chengfeng watched this Nanchen Taizu being carried into the liberation room that he knew what a heart-wrenching thing these Chu people had done.
As we all know, when people go crazy under the guidance of evil qi, there is a high chance that they will become inhuman and murderous monsters, but it is these murderous monsters who only know how to kill, but they can grow all the way under the nourishment of evil qi without any burden - and for the Chu people who use evil qi the most, they naturally discovered this.
So after countless failed attempts, the crazy Chu people turned their attention to these monsters.
Since it is difficult for the human body to directly withstand that crazy ferocity, what about the body of a monster?
And under the guidance of this idea, the crazy Chu people sewed up the children in the cage.
Yes, sewing, these children with human appearance, in fact, each of them has some flesh and blood from monsters sewn on their bodies, and after the sewing is completed, the Chu people will try to activate it with a secret method, so that these children who are stitched up can really use the crazy flesh and blood.
"A strong will can change everything."
These remnants of the Chu people firmly believe this, after all, this is their last hope.
But a firm will is not really enough to completely change everything, especially this kind of overly deviant attempt, the children in the cage who were sewn with monster flesh and blood either fell to the ground like corpses, or turned into twisted and crazy monsters - but it was the appearance of these monsters that made the Chu people more and more full of confidence.
"At least a few will live."
After killing the twisted monsters that the children had turned into, the remnants of the old Chu continued to sew the flesh and blood of these monsters onto the new children.
After all, the environment is bad, and they, the remnants of the old Chu hidden in the shadows, have fewer and fewer materials to get, and now they can use waste if they can, and they can't waste it anyway.
Even from the perspective of a bystander, Du Chengfeng couldn't stand it, the behavior of these old Chu remnants was too frenzied, even beyond the scope of human understanding.
No wonder those scholars of the Yu Dynasty want to exterminate these old Chu relics, these old Chu relics are too crazy, their methods and actions are simply outrageous, even Du Chengfeng, who is from a bystander's perspective, can't help but want to kill people.
So his hand really moved.
The extreme madness brought knowledge beyond the reach of ordinary people, and those old Chu relics actually made living beings that could act normally - and the only child who could still maintain a human form after transplanting the flesh and blood of the monster was this Nanchen Taizu himself.
This was the first time that the Chu people had achieved success.
Of course, if it was just an example, the remnants of the Chu people would not be sure, so they used the same technique to transplant the monster flesh and blood to more people - but those adult warriors who were far more powerful than children all failed to operate, without exception, either turned into mindless madmen on the spot, or turned into those inhuman monsters.
In order to deal with these monsters, the remnants of the Chu people spent a lot, which made them even more and more exhausted.
And the flesh and blood of these monsters have also been transplanted into this only living body.
To the surprise of the Chu people, this only living body showed extremely high adaptability when faced with monster flesh and blood. No matter how much monster flesh is transplanted, this living body can easily absorb and contain it, and then turn into a part of the body.
"Could it be that we made a mistake?"
The bias of the experimental results once puzzled the Chu people, and they were not very clear about what variables caused this situation.
In the face of this question, the remnants of the Chu people chose to look through the notes of their predecessors.
It was a record that the old Chu royal family was qualified to keep, just because the things recorded in it were too crazy, it was all the experimental records made by the Great Chu in the past in order to study the evil qi, and it was the crystallization of wisdom with blood left over from the former Chu Empire.
And after looking through the notes left by their predecessors, the remnants of Old Chu felt that they had found the key.
"Awareness! Awareness is the key to everything! ”
That day, Du Chengfeng saw that the man with a gloomy face was crazy.
Originally, in the plan of the Chu people, the use of children as the host of monster flesh and blood is nothing more than because even if the juvenile becomes a monster, its destructive power is within the controllable range, but by mistake, they hit a certain key - compared to the complicated thoughts of adults, children's thinking is simple and direct, and the younger the child, the more blank the paper its thinking is.
But it is precisely this blank piece of paper thinking that unifies those swords and soldiers.
This is something that adults can't do, adults will have all kinds of desires, all kinds of ideas, all kinds of desires, but it is precisely because of the existence of these thoughts that it is easier for them to lose themselves in the face of evil spirit, or power.
But children don't.
Children don't know how to use it, or even what it is.
This prevents them from being infected.
"Ah......h
After coming to a conclusion, the remnants of the Chu people fell into confusion.
Theoretically, they succeeded, but in practice, this success was meaningless - it is true that under this crazy research, they really did the impossible, really created a body that could perfectly carry the evil energy, but the question is, how are they going to use this research to fight against the sky?
It seems that they can't do it, they can only be regarded as building a piece of steel to survive now, but can they use this piece of steel to smash it and directly smash the enemy to death?
Apparently not.
The activated body was indeed successful, but this child had no way to take it out to fight against Da Yu, which made the remnants of the Chu people depressed for a time - but after spending so much experimental results, it was impossible to throw them in the dungeon in vain, which was a huge loss for the remnants of the Chu people, who were already unable to make ends meet.
"So, let's raise him as a weapon."
After thinking about it, the man with a grim face finally made a decision.
This was naturally opposed by a group of Chu remnants, after all, this kind of thing is not only deviant, but also a betrayal of Chu culture - you must know that all along, the Chu people have always picked up their own blades to fight the enemy, and they have grown by bearing blood, trauma, and even the lives of the enemy...... What's the difference with those people who manipulate people's hearts?
"Or else? Do we want to let our hard work go to waste? ”
In the face of everyone's accusations, the man with a grim face roared loudly.
"How much hard work have we worked to cultivate such a true immortal body, do we want our hard work to be in vain? Do you know how many people died and how much blood was shed in the process? Do you want to let their blood be shed in vain? ”
Of course, this man with a gloomy face didn't just roar, he also gave a corresponding solution.
"A strong will can change everything."
The grim-faced man brought up the words again.
This is the core research result of the old Chu Empire, and it is also the most valuable experience left by the old Chu Empire - then, since a firm will can change everything, does it mean that the body itself is not so important?
"Let's cultivate this immortal body first, determine the stability, and when we really confirm that there is no problem, we can transplant the consciousness into it."
This was the solution given by the man with a grim face.
Driven by consciousness, waving this rare immortal body like a weapon did not violate the customs of the Chu people, but also made use of this immortal body.
And then herein lies the problem.
Who will do this consciousness stripping?
It stands to reason that the one who is qualified to use the immortal human body must be the Chu royal family, but considering the danger, this is obviously not good - the yin man has also thought about doing it himself, but as the operator of all this, he needs to preside over the entire experiment, so naturally he can't do it. As for the others...... This is the use of immortal human bodies, who has the qualifications?
But in this difficult selection process, there was another accident.
This sewn immortal body actually has its own consciousness.
The first update was delivered, because the number of words was a little more, and it was a little late, so I continued to hurry up to write the second update.

Thanks to the book friend 20201124013413139 for the reward, it is really a waste of money.
I guess I'm going to write for a while, so let's rest early and read it in the morning.
