Daoshun stood on the pavilion, looking at the experimental body of the Great Red Ghost crawling out of the dungeon from a distance.
He was dressed in white robes as a monk, wearing a lotus crown on his head, with red sandalwood rosary beads in his hands. His brows were calm and peaceful, like a deity and Buddha transcending the world.
At first glance, everyone will be fooled by this appearance.
As long as you don't open your mouth, you will be the most expensive little monk tomorrow morning!
However, if you look closely, you can see the faint smile on the corner of Monk Daoshun's mouth.
"Master...Master..."
"Did you see that?"
"I did it."
Daoshun lowered his head and murmured, but his voice was slightly trembling, and his tone was ferocious with a hint of venting, but he immediately regained his composure and continued his spotless appearance.
Through his thin white monk clothes, a human face is engraved on the heart of Monk Daoshun.
It was as if the old, bald face could be seen through the clothes, and the corners of the cracked mouth running down the chest like a scar trembled slightly, making a very slight sound.
"I saw it."
"You did a great job."
"Sure enough, it is right for us to abandon Ashina and choose the path of the inner palace."
"If I had done this earlier...if Daoxuan had been with me, we would have been immortal by now."
"Ha, thank you, Master, for the tip."
The tone was slightly sarcastic.
However, humans are such complex creatures.
Even if they share the same body, it is difficult for the master and the disciple to communicate with each other.
Dao Ce, who put his last life on his disciple's body in this desperate way, just to see the results of his life's research, failed to see the twisted and crazy expression on Dao Shun's lowered face.
expression.
The voice is still so gentle.
"Yes, thanks to the Master for giving me some advice."
Daoshun echoed Master again and again.
The big red ghost ran rampant in the center of Ashina City, affecting countless civilians, and the scene was extremely tragic and bloody.
However, only a hundred feet apart, the two masters and apprentices who were the instigators and the real perpetrators were still talking and laughing on the watchtower without any guilt.
Guilt?
What is guilt?
For research madmen like Daoshun and Daoce, not being able to satisfy their desire for knowledge is a sin, and not being able to fill their endless curiosity is the greatest shame.
There are so many things they can sacrifice for this, and have already sacrificed.
Credibility, faith, humanity, reason, dignity, and even life.
If you don’t have a crazy heart, how can you achieve crazy works?
If there were no madmen like them in this world who longed for immortality and realized it as a reality, how could there be such a wonderful product as the Water of Transformation in the world.
How could I...
alive.
Dao Ce sighed silently in his heart.
Daoshun and Daoce were both monks at Xianfeng Temple back then. However, before they entered the temple, Xianfeng Temple had already become a veritable biochemical laboratory, and most of the senior monks had passed the method of insect possession.
, gained true immortal life.
The longest-lived monk who built the temple, Master Xianfeng, has even lived for a full eight hundred years.
He still looks like he is in his fifties or sixties, and his agility is as good as before.
Under the temptation of countless desires and group guidance, they gradually transformed into something they did not recognize.
However, are there any people who stay awake in Xianfeng Temple?
Of course there is.
Dao Ce frowned as the mark on Dao Shun's chest was like a scar.
At that time, his senior brother Daoxuan and his disciples 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, Daoxuan left Xianfeng Temple with the monks who adhered to Buddhism.
Most of the immortal monks who survived in Xianfeng Temple began to become crazy and irrational due to the side effects of the water of transformation or the lake of transformation.
Such a person is obviously not good enough.
What Dao Ce desires is not such immortality.
Living without reason is better than dying with the final calmness.
But why do people age so easily?
Why is the human body so fragile and perishable?
Dao Ce has been studying this all his life.
Finally, he developed a product that was the result of his lifelong efforts.
Red ghost.
And another product... people attached.
Since the body is susceptible to decay, it is better to pour your will into a strong body.
Is there any creature with a stronger body than a red ghost?
As for human attachment, it was a method he developed based on the survival method of the internal parasites of the Immortal Peak Master, to place the brain in other bodies.
To this end, he conducted many experiments.
The final result is his current state.
The old face lingering on Daoshun's chest like a scar on the human body showed an extremely ferocious smile.
Although his body has died and rotted due to old age, he is still alive and well in the body of his young apprentice.
Even if it's so ugly, it's still life, isn't it?
After experiencing the despair of death once, Dao Ce became enlightened.
Everything I say about skin and flesh is all false. I am just a small boat on the sea of suffering and can be discarded easily.
The boat of friendship has capsized, but we can still get on the big boat of hooking up, right?
However, when he died, the physical experiments of the red ghost were not mature enough, and the developed red ghost only lost his self-awareness, but did not lose his instincts.
Such a body is not an 'empty shell'.
Even if Dao Ce transplants his own brain, it will only be a host, not a control.
This is not possible.
He still needs more experiments.
However, Ashina Castle can no longer support these experiments.
Mr. Ashina's attitude was very clear that what they wanted was only the most basic type of Bianruo Shui. Even for the slightly more advanced Bianruo Zhiyou, they only traded two copies.
How could this amount of material be enough for their master and apprentice to conduct experiments?
At this time, the two masters and apprentices had completely forgotten that the reason Senhoji wanted to study the power of immortality in the first place was to help Ashina protect this land.
Their hearts have long been excavated by the endless desire to die.
All they need is what they want.
Immortal.
However, when communication with the inner government was at a loss, Master Xianfeng appeared.
At the same time, he also brought them news from the inner government.
Hundreds of strong corpses poured into the dungeon continuously, becoming the best test subjects for their master and apprentice.
Master Xianfeng, who created the source of all immortality, ignored this and left directly after bringing the news.
This behavior allowed Dao Ce and his colleagues to make great progress in their experiments.
The big red ghost in front of me is one of the best works.
Moreover, Master Xianfeng's performance also made Dao Ce covet him extremely.
To be honest, when he, as the heir of a minor noble, entered the temple, he came for Master Xianfeng.
After eight hundred years of life, he is still so sane.
This is such a longing and beautiful thing.
However, now, Dao Ce has become more and more contemptuous of this leader who stayed eight hundred years ago and did not want to make progress.
His Taoist strategy will definitely carry forward the entire Immortal Peak Temple and carry forward the power of immortality.
He wants to use actions to prove that his ideas are correct.
Just when Dao Ce was lost in memories, Dao Shun suddenly raised his head, stared blankly in the air, and unconsciously stretched out his fingers.
