Tianwei Chapter 293: Counterattack (3)
Gamu did not respond immediately. He frowned and thought carefully. After a while, he turned to me and whispered: What exactly is cloning? Can it really bring him back to life?
I groaned, not knowing how to answer. After thinking for a while, I said cautiously: I don't know if it can be considered a true resurrection. Cloning is equivalent to copying. Do you understand what copying means?
Gamu nodded, I breathed a sigh of relief and continued: The meaning of cloning is to take his genes, and then grow it through cultivation, and finally become the same as his original body.
Cultivate? Does that mean it's not his original body? Gamu frowned even more tightly: Isn't this the same as raising a corpse?
Raising corpses? I thought about it and nodded: It should be the same principle, but it may be more troublesome than raising corpses.
Nonsense! Gamu said: Corpses can be raised, because they are dead, even if they are raised into large corpses, they are not the same as they were before they were alive. But according to what you said, it is equivalent to making a new body of his. In this case, why should we cooperate with him? This is not a true resurrection at all, it is just a side path.
Gamu seems to be very disdainful of cloning technology. His thoughts are understandable, because even I don’t understand. If a Taoist body is really cloned and his soul is put into it, will he still be the original him?
There is a saying that there is nothing in the world that is 100% identical. Even cloning technology may not be perfect.
Since there is a difference, how can he be considered the same person as before?
It would be more accurate to say that they look exactly the same rather than being the same.
So you mean you don't agree? I asked quietly.
Gamu frowned and thought for a while, then asked: Are you sure his physical body is gone?
Not sure... When Wudian left, he was like an aurora, disappearing in a flash. How could I see clearly? Besides, neither Grandpa Shi nor I know much about Wudian. Mother should know a lot of things, but judging by her attitude, I guess she won't tell me even if I ask.
Gamu glared at me, as if complaining that I knew nothing. Of course I was innocent, but I couldn't refute him. I really knew nothing...
There is a book in this world called One Hundred Thousand Whys. After I rescue the Taoist priest, I will also write a book called One Hundred Thousand Don’ts!
At this time, Gamu asked me again: Is he the mastermind?
Mastermind? Oh, you mean Kunlun... I glanced at Mr. Liao from the corner of my eye, and then lowered my voice: It's him.
In fact, according to my idea, we should call out Grandpa Shi, tie up Liao Xianer first, and then break this old man who has regained his youth and pretends to be young to take advantage of me into eight pieces and throw him into the ditch to feed Tiansheng.
However, Grandpa Shi has not shown up yet, and it is obvious that he has no intention of taking care of this matter, so I can only give up this tempting idea helplessly.
Promise him, Gamu said.
Oh, OK. I nodded, but then I realized: Wait...promise him? Are you sure?
Stop talking nonsense!
I have an agreement with you, if the Taoist priest can really be resurrected, and he sees something wrong with my body, you must not involve me.
If you keep talking nonsense, I will roast your tongue! Gamu threatened.
You old peasant! No wonder Wei Qingcang gave you the Purple Talisman Heavenly Corpse, you really have a hot temper.
Although I was puzzled as to why Gamu was willing to agree just after he had expressed his disdain, I still did as he said.
We agreed.
That's good. Mr. Liao smiled and nodded.
But how can we trust you? Gamu asked.
When his physical body is cloned, I will come to you. By then, we will be even. With the old man in the Taoist temple in charge, I believe you will not be afraid that I will...
You dare! Gamu snorted coldly: If there is anything wrong with his body, or if you do something, I will not let you go even if you hide all over the world!
Don't worry, I won't bother you anymore. Goodbye. Mr. Liao came suddenly and left just as suddenly. But Liao Xian'er looked at the Taoist temple thoughtfully, hesitated for a moment, and then turned around and left with Mr. Liao.
After their figures disappeared, I asked in confusion: Why did you suddenly agree to them?
Because of this... Gamu looked at the paper and stone in my hand.
This? Do you know what this is? I asked in surprise.
I don’t know…Gamu replied.
I rolled my eyes. Can I speak complete sentences?
But since he came to you, it proves that this thing is very important, otherwise he would not risk his life. That woman is very powerful, and if even they can't find it, it must be hidden very deeply or it is very special and can't be found.
Your analysis makes sense, but what does this have to do with agreeing to their request? I still don't understand. Since it's important to Mr. Liao, you shouldn't agree to their request. How can you take the initiative to help your enemy when you know he needs it?
It is because this thing is so important that we have to be the first to find it! Gamu said.
Hmm? What do you mean? As soon as I asked, an idea suddenly occurred to me: You, do you want to...
What is a mere flesh body? If you want to revive with this trick, my Heavenly Corpse Vein can find any corpse. Gamu said with disdain: What cloning, a trifle.
Well, you guys are all smarter than each other, I didn't even think of this idea, I said.
That's because you are young. Gamu said: But after you find something, you must keep it well. If possible, stay with the old senior all the time. With him around, Liao would not dare to rob even if he had a hundred guts.
That's no problem. I nodded, but still smacked my lips and asked: Do you really not want that body anymore?
What's the point of using useless things?
Uh, use them to wash our clothes. I have had this wish for a long time. Plant one Lao Dao and harvest 100 next year. One to boil water, one to cook, one to wash clothes, one to give me a massage, and the rest to make money.
Wait until he is alive, and then you can tell him, Gamu responded.
I chuckled twice, then asked: Since you have made up your mind, we have to change our plan again. What about Wudian?
This question is the key, and even Gamu has no good solution. He thought for a long time before saying: I will go and test the wind first to see if his body is still there. I think even if Wudian wants to take back the Five Elements Meridian, there is no need to eat people.
Well, OK, then inform me immediately if you have any news. Oh, by the way, you must not rush in alone, or I will have to save another person if I fail to save one.
Stop talking nonsense! Practice more in this world and find this thing as soon as possible. Gamu pointed at the thing in my hand and said.
We talked a few more words and then parted ways. He planned to go back to Tianshimai to discuss with Wei Qingcang and find out about Wudian's situation. But he also said in advance that Tianshimai was now at a critical moment and even if Wei Qingcang wanted to, he couldn't spare any strength to help. Everything depends on us.
It doesn't make any sense to me. The old Taoist is important, but other people's affairs are also important. At least Gamu is willing to help me, which is already a huge surprise.
Holding the blueprint and the stone in my hand, I turned them over and over curiously while walking back to the Taoist temple.
The little beauty stopped crying, but her expression seemed a little dull. Grandpa Shi stood there as if he had not moved. When he saw me come back, he only glanced at the things in my hand and turned to walk out.
Seeing the little beauty's heartbroken look, I couldn't help but sigh, folded the paper and put it in my pocket along with the stone, and went over to talk to her. No matter what I said, she wouldn't speak, so I had no choice but to pull her in and put her in to settle down.
The little beauty lay obediently on the bed, and I covered her with a blanket. But her red and swollen eye sockets and lifeless pupils made me feel heavy inside.
I sighed, sat on the edge of the bed, took the thing out of my pocket and looked at it carefully.
The drawing on the paper was very simple, obviously a frame with horizontal and vertical lines. But the stone was a bit interesting, because when I input the power of Taoism into it, there was no reaction at all.
If I wasn't afraid of destroying this thing and not being able to find the source, I would really like to use the Eight Ropes Method to see if I can cut it open.
In addition to the ineffectiveness of Taoist power, the stone is also very light.
It is half the size of a palm, but as light as a feather. You can't feel any weight when holding it in the palm of your hand.
In fact, I doubt that this thing is related to the stone beast because they are all made of stone.
However, this round stone should be different from what is drawn on the paper, at least not a whole one, because it is almost perfectly round. Although it looks like an ordinary gravel, it feels like an old jade.
There should be other stones at Liao Lao's place. If there is a chance, I can take them all... It would be great if I could use the Sunflower Point-Acupuncture Technique. I can use it to piss off all the people who piss me off. Unfortunately, I don't have that kind of magical martial arts, and Liao Xian'er is here. Let alone the Sunflower Point-Acupuncture Technique, it would be useless even if I took the Sunflower Manual with me.
Sitting in the room with nothing to do, I simply took out the jade pendant and placed it on my forehead. I held the stone in one hand and extended my vision directly outward.
Strangely enough, as soon as the Tongming Jade Pendant was placed on my forehead, I immediately felt a strange breath coming from the stone. I couldn't tell what this breath was, I could only feel that it was very ancient, and at the same time as I felt the breath, I suddenly felt that the stone was as heavy as a mountain.
Apparently, after entering the magical vision, all feelings were different.
I didn't delay. My thoughts guided my vision and I followed the vague direction.
Thoughts are the most difficult things to explain. Just like now, I don’t know if it is the stone guiding me, or the things drawn on the paper pulling the stone. In short, I can vaguely feel the approximate direction of that thing.
The vision extends at the fastest speed. In this world, there is no distinction between night and day. Everything is displayed in different colors, but you can see clearly what each thing is.
It's very strange and contradictory, but it does exist.
What was even more surprising was that the direction in which my vision extended seemed very familiar to me. And before long, I saw a big mountain.
It is a thousand meters high and majestic.
I have been here before, and the signs of the old Taoist's death began to appear from here.
Zhonghuang Mountain!
The view stopped at a mountain a hundred miles away from the Five Elements Taoist Temple.
