Cao Cao called me to rob a tomb

Chapter 427 Camel Grave (4000)

"This strange incident finally caused panic among the residents in the city, and the royal family was also greatly shocked. They quickly invited Master Pushan from Jinyang Temple to ask for advice on this matter."

"Master Pushan is the most respected Buddhist monk in the city. After he met Fang Qiong, he thought that Fang Qiong was the legendary witch. It was an ominous sign that she appeared repeatedly in the city. There is a major disaster, if you want to resolve the disaster, you must kill this witch and build a Buddhist temple to suppress it with the help of the vast power of Buddhism, otherwise the disaster will continue."

"The royal family adopted Master Pushan's opinion and handed over the matter to Master Pushan for supervision."

"Shortly after, Fang Qiong was ordered to be executed again, and under the supervision of Master Pushan, the corpse was cast into an iron coffin and driven into the foundation of the new Buddhist temple, and then the largest Buddhist temple in Jiani City began to be built. , the royal family named this Buddhist temple Fumo Temple."

"Since then, Fang Qiong has never come back to life, nor has he appeared in Xenni City again."

"The royal family and the residents of the city finally felt at ease, and Fumo Temple has since become the most effective and greatest Buddhist temple in Jiani City. People who believe in Buddhism rushed to worship, and the incense became more and more prosperous day by day."

"After so many years, although people are still talking about this incident together with Fumo Temple, in fact, few people can still remember the specific appearance of this witch. After all, the person who really had close contact with this witch There are only a small number of people, and very few people are willing to come to the witch's misfortune."

"And the reason why I can recognize it at a glance is because the witch was executed three times back then, and I personally conducted autopsies on all three times. Her appearance has long been engraved in my heart. Even after so many years, she still will It appeared in my nightmares every now and then, so I often went to Fumo Temple to worship and pray, but it still lingered."

Having said that, Apuqiu finally took a breath, and after looking at Fang Qiong nervously, he pulled Wu Liang away again, then frowned and said in a lower voice, "Now this witch Her reappearance in Xenni City will surely cause panic among the royal family and the residents of the city again, but this witch was brought back by Your Excellency. If this matter is spread, even Your Excellency and others will be implicated a lot. "

"This……"

The backbone of the Huan army looked at each other in blank dismay, and there was also a strong look of surprise in their eyes when they looked at Fang Qiong.

Originally, they had already determined that there were still some unknown secrets hidden in Fang Qiong's body, but after hearing Apuqiu's words, they suddenly discovered that there were obviously more secrets in Fang Qiong's body than they had expected. And even more amazing.

witch?

Could it be that she is really a witch and not a human?

"Um……"

At this moment, Wu Liang's brows were already twisted into knots, and a murmur in the state of thinking came out of his nasal cavity.

Killed three times and four times, and "resurrected" three times and four times.

Even the corpse was burned to ashes, sealed in an iron coffin, and suppressed in a Buddhist temple.

Even though this step has been achieved, Fang Qiong is still alive and well, but he should have gone to the Central Plains after that, so he didn't return to Jiani City.

Wu Liang couldn't help thinking of the female corpse found in Bailongdui that was exactly the same as Fang Qiong.

Combined with Apuqiu's rather detailed description, Wu Liang quickly came to a bold inference, perhaps...Fang Qiong is not constantly "resurrecting" at all!
Instead, it is constantly "regenerating"!
In Wu Liang's cognition, the term "resurrection" should be based on the phenomenon of resurrection from death in the same body in a strict sense.

And "regeneration", in the standard notation of pathological vocabulary, is defined as a repair process that creates something out of nothing.

Fang Qiong's body was burned to ashes.

It was sealed in an iron coffin and suppressed under Fumo Temple.

And after being calcified by the weird small lake in Bailongdui, it sank to the bottom of the lake.

But there is always another Fang Qiong alive and well, who can talk, eat, and act like a normal person, and has independent emotions and thoughts. To some extent, this Fang Qiong still inherits most of the former's memories...

This is undoubtedly an incomprehensible and imaginable miracle.

The only thing Wu Liang can think of is the "cloning technology" that often appears in science fiction works in later generations. In fact, not only in science fiction works, many medical experts in later generations are also constantly carrying out "cloning technology" Research.

"Clone technology" belongs to "regeneration" technology.

It's just that until Wu Liang crossed over, the "cloning technology" of later generations was still not fully mature, and there were still many controversies at the level of actual operation.

On the contrary, film and television works related to "cloning technology" are flourishing.

"Escape from Clone Island", "Resident Evil" series, etc. are all outstanding in this regard. At the same time, the works themselves are also discussing the moral and technical aspects related to "cloning technology", and the content is thought-provoking.

And in the case of Fang Qiong.

These currently known situations have many similarities with "cloning technology".

First, both should have an ontology.

After careful analysis, Wu Liang decided to temporarily define the main body as Fang Qiong who mistakenly killed his master before he escaped.

Because before that, Fang Qiong should not be significantly different from normal humans, at least during the years when she was a slave, her master and his family members, as well as the slaves who worked together, etc... Almost all of them were related to her Those who have been in contact with her have not found anything unusual about her, otherwise, when Fang Qiong becomes a witch that makes people panic, even if it is only a hindsight, someone will surely reveal some of the unusual things she has shown before. However, according to Apuqiu's description, there seems to be no such rumors.

After clarifying this ontology, combined with Fang Qiong's previous narration, Wu Liang tried to describe Fang Qiong's trajectory and approximate time of action.

After killing his master and escaping from Jiani City, Fang Qiong entered the desert and encountered a black dragon storm. By chance, he discovered the Tomb of the Sun.

About ten days later, when she returned to Xuni City from the Tomb of the Sun, she had already become a "witch"...

In other words, the instigator of all this may be the Tomb of the Sun that Wu Liang intended to find during his trip, and if he wants to reveal the secrets hidden in Fang Qiong, he must find the Tomb of the Sun;

Secondly, Fang Qiong's "regeneration" is the same as "cloning technology", which should be "replication" in essence.

But the difference is that "cloning technology" can theoretically be copied infinitely, while Fang Qiong seems to be limited.

Combining Apuqiu's description and Fang Qiong's remarks after seeing the female corpse, Wu Liang has reason to believe that even if Fang Qiong can continue to "regenerate", he still has to follow the mystery of "there can only be one living Fang Qiong". rule.

Because in Jiani City, there has never been a situation where two living Fang Qiong appeared at the same time.

And Fang Qiong also said when he saw the female corpse before: "Only one of the slave and her can live. If the slave dies, she will come back to life. She will deceive everyone and inherit the life and everything of the slave. Master She will also be deceived..."

At that time, Wu Liang and others thought she was talking about the female corpse.

But now, Wu Liang suspects that the "she" Fang Qiong mentioned at that time may not necessarily be the female corpse, but another Fang Qiong who will "regenerate" after her death.

Because Fang Qiong's "rebirth" is obviously not the resurrection of the dead.

Otherwise, how to explain Fang Qiong's body that was burned in the city of Jiani?How to explain the corpse of Fang Qiong that has been suppressed by Fumo Temple so far?

Thirdly, although the "regenerated" new Fang Qiong inherited everything from the original body, it can also be regarded as a brand new independent individual.

Compared with the female corpse discovered before, although Fang Qiong has the same appearance and figure.

But from many details, we can still see some independent traces, such as the length and hairstyle of the hair, some scars on the body, and the slightly mature facial features... These are Fang Qiong who is still alive and is an independent individual evidence of.

Related issues have also been discussed in the discussion of "cloning technology" in later generations.

Even if the cloned individual inherits everything from the original body, as life experiences change, the physical and psychological conditions of different clones will still develop in completely different directions, and gradually show different personality differences.

and so……

Although the content of Wu Liang's thinking became more and more complicated, it did not mess up his thinking.

He is now beginning to lean towards Fang Qiong's previous confession in Chenliu was not a fabricated lie, and he did not hide anything from him.

Assume his defined ontology is correct.

And assuming that the place where Fang Qiong "regenerates" every time is the Tomb of the Sun, and if Fang Qiong is "regenerated" with the body as the prototype instead of the previous Fang Qiong, then this Fang Qiong's memory should be the one in her confession. experience.

She is the last Fang Qiong who is also the luckiest and longest-lived.

After waking up with the memory of her original body, she doesn't remember the previous incidents in which Fang Qiong entered Jianni City and was executed as a witch. The known experience of Fang Qiong's death is also forgotten...

She was lucky.

After walking out of the desert where the tomb of the sun is located, she did not enter the city of mud, but entered the white dragon pile.

She may have encountered some dangers in Bailongdui, or she may have been to that weird lake, but she escaped from death, and finally met the kind person who took her out of Bailongdui and took her all the way to The Xiongnu businessman living in Bingzhou finally moved to Chenliu after many accidents, and became a Zhangtai woman...

Thinking of these, Wu Liang suddenly felt that many things were explained.

It's just that there are still some crucial details that cannot be reasonably explained.

For example: After seeing the female corpse, why did Fang Qiong's eyes and nasal cavity bleed inexplicably, and he has been unconscious until now?
Another example: Fang Qiong should have some understanding of her own "rebirth", otherwise how could she say those words after seeing the female corpse?

……

"Mr. Apuqiu, what should I do?"

When he came back to his senses, Wu Liang had a bitter expression on his face, and he said to Apqiu with tears in his eyes, "I really don't know that there is such an astonishing secret hidden in this woman. If I knew this earlier, I would Even if I would rather die than invite her to be a guide, it will be fine now, and I will get into a big trouble before the business is done."

Wu Liang concluded that since Apuqiu was willing to give him such a warning, he must be on his side. Thinking about it, he should not be easily betrayed, but he still needs to be guided by a good student, lest he do bad things with good intentions .

"Your Excellency, don't panic..."

Apuqiu pondered for a moment, then twisted his chin and said, "I can still say a few words in front of the royal family. If I can't do it, I will go to the royal family and explain the matter clearly for Your Excellency. This may be a way."

"Can this work?"

Wu Liang still mourned with worry on his face, "Forgive me, this matter may involve many people and many things. The reappearance of the witch will definitely cause panic among the royal family and the residents of the city again, and at the same time, it will directly affect the commoner. The authority of Master Shan and Fumo Temple may even affect the rise and fall of Jiani City. At this time, I am afraid that it will not be settled by explaining clearly. At that time, we, as the sinners who brought the witch back, will definitely be angered. It is hard to shirk the blame, and maybe it will implicate Mr. Apuqiu who connected us into the city!"

"This... what your Excellency said is not unreasonable, what should I do?"

Apuqiu was an honest man, he was immediately frightened by Wu Liang's words, and asked very worriedly.

"Ugh……"

Wu Liang sighed, and pretended to think for a while, and then said helplessly, "I'm afraid the only way to do it now is to 'keep in the dark'."

"How about the method of 'darkness in the dark'?"

Apchu asked quickly.

"Fortunately, no one in the city has seen this girl yet, let me find a chance to send her out of the city without anyone noticing, and bury her in a place that no one knows, so that this matter will have nothing to do with us." related."

Wu Liang squinted his eyes and said.

"That's not a bad idea. Even if this woman shows up in Jiani City in the future, we won't be involved at all. Let's do it like this!"

Apchu nodded repeatedly.

"In this case, please ask Mr. Apqiu to find me a detailed map of the surrounding area of ​​the mud city. I need to make a good plan to ensure that this is foolproof."

Wu Liang said.

"Exactly. I'll do it later."

At this moment, Apuqiu has obeyed Wu Liang's advice.

"In addition, I heard that there is a vast desert outside the city of Jianni. In this desert, black dragon storms that exterminate all creatures often blow up. Even the most experienced merchants still cannot pass through safely. Mr. Apuqiu knows that this desert Where is the desert located?"

Wu Liang asked again.

This terrifying "black dragon storm" was the only clue Wu Liang knew about the desert where the Tomb of the Sun was located. Before Fang Qiong woke up, he could only use this clue to determine the location of the desert.

Apuqiu suddenly showed a nervous expression: "The desert you are talking about is not a 'camel grave'?"
