The Heroes of Gulong: Great Chefs from Past to Present

Chapter 797: No Fame, No Fortune, No Truth

After the white-robed monk Li Chaofeng mentioned the clones, the scene around Li Chaofeng began to change.

Soon, a white laboratory appeared with countless medical cabins inside.

Countless humans who look exactly like Li Chaofeng are sleeping in the medical cabin.

The white-robed monk Li Chaofeng looked at the scene in front of him with a look of sorrow in his eyes.

“Cloning technology can cultivate deformed organs that can help humans cure diseases.”

"And the best cloned organs must come from humans themselves."

"So, once humans become the absolute masters of the world, it is only natural to clone an organ to ensure human health."

Li Chaofeng looked at countless versions of himself sleeping in the medical cabin, and felt frightened for a moment, then snorted coldly.

"So you're using me as an example?"

The white-robed monk Li Chaofeng smiled and said, "Your body is so special. If cloning technology is developed, it will definitely be the best clone mother."

Changing the subject, the white-robed monk Li Chaofeng did not hesitate, but pointed at the medical cabin in front of him and asked.

"So, is it wrong for humans to use cloning technology to treat themselves and ensure that they live longer?"

Li Chaofeng sneered: "It is wrong to actively destroy human ethics."

The white-robed monk Li Chaofeng nodded: "Okay, in your mind, clones are people, but what about robots?"

The scene changed again, and Li Chaofeng frowned.

Because this time, there was an extremely empty desert sea around him.

The white-robed monk Li Chaofeng noticed the confusion on Li Chaofeng's face and explained with a smile.

"This place is the planet Yinghuo, also known as Mars."

"Mars is the closest habitable planet to Earth, and to transform Mars, we need machines, not humans."

“And even if they are programmed, robots are still communicative.”

"So, are they human?"

The white-robed monk Li Chaofeng raised his finger, and following his finger, he saw a legion of mighty steel machines appearing at the edge of the desert.

The enemies of the Legion are human legions wearing space suits.

"Donor, when humans and machines fight each other, they can communicate, and it has nothing to do with you either."

"Which side do you think you should be on?"

Li Chaofeng clenched his fist and laughed angrily: "Of course it's the human side."

White-robed monk Li Chaofeng: "So, a robot that can communicate is not a human in the donor's mind?"

"certainly."

Li Chaofeng paused, then suddenly turned his head.

Behind him stood a broken robot, which was holding an ugly-looking stone flower and handed it to him with an innocent look.

"This. Is. For. You. It. Is. Very. Beautiful."

The robot's voice was stiff and cold, and its words and actions were funny.

Li Chaofeng looked at the robot in front of him. He knew it was fake, just an illusion created by the white-robed monk.

But he still saw emotions in the robot's actions.

The white-robed monk Li Chaofeng sat on the ground, looking at Li Chaofeng unmoved: "Don't you want it, donor?"

Li Chaofeng snorted coldly: "Why should I need such a weird thing?"

White-robed monk Li Chaofeng: "Will you kill him for the future of mankind?"

Li Chaofeng closed his eyes. He didn't want to answer this question.

Although the robot is an illusion, it is real.

The difference between him and the white-robed monk is that.
He has feelings in his heart.

The monk in white has seen through the world and has become heartless.

Li Chaofeng closed his eyes, and a circle of golden Buddha light began to emerge above the white-robed monk's head.

As he put on the cassock, Li Chaofeng also reached out to take the ugly stone from the robot's hand and said with a smile.

"Buddhism is about forgetting emotions, but it is not about being heartless."

“It’s just where the feelings are, and that’s where the heart is.”

"As long as the mind is there, greed, anger and ignorance cannot be eliminated."

“Therefore, once you enter the Buddhist world, you must first forget about emotions.”

Li Chaofeng watched the white-robed monk evolve again, his eyes narrowed, and then he asked angrily.

"I've seen clones, robots, and probably an alien."

"We still have plenty of time, why not show it off?"

With golden light above his head, Li Chaofeng blinked slightly when he heard Li Chaofeng's proposal, then shook his head and sighed.

"At this point, you can't even destroy yourself. You are so defeated, are you still going to persist?"

Li Chaofeng said coldly: "I don't feel like I lost."

Li Chaofeng shook his head: "You have lost your benevolence by bullying a foreign country. You cannot follow the Confucian way of tolerance and forgiveness."

"Of course, since you killed the Queen of Kucha, you never wanted to go down this road."

"And your doctrine of 'equality for all' has lost its basis for fairness and justice after witnessing the laws of nature."

"I have feelings in my heart, but I cannot be selfish."

"The path of love never works for you who are too empathetic." "Except becoming a monk, you have no other way to go."

Li Chaofeng sneered: "They are all monks, I can be a Taoist priest."

Li Chaofeng smiled and said, "Buddha is Tao, Tao is Buddha."

"They are all leaving the world, the only difference is that the Buddha cultivates the afterlife, while the Taoists cultivate this life."

Li Chaofeng: "Since they are the same, why don't you turn into a Taoist priest and show me?"

Li Chaofeng shook his head: "I am Tathagata, the coming one in the next life."

Seeing the unmoved expression on Li Chaofeng's face, Li Chaofeng also sighed.

"If you want to see it, then go ahead."

As Li Chaofeng finished speaking, the world changed again.

Groups of strange ant-worm-like creatures are traveling around in space, and their eyes have fallen on the earth.

Li Chaofeng's mouth twitched slightly: "Is this... Interstellar Zerg?"

Li Chaofeng nodded: "Yes, only the Queen can communicate, the rest are all tools of the Zerg."

"She is an alien and can communicate, but she is also the master of the Swarm Legion and will never communicate with the weak."

"Similarly, the Zerg are a powerful enemy that humans cannot defeat no matter how united they are or how advanced their technology is."

“I cultivate Taoism in this life, but in the vast universe, humans are too small, and the entire human race is too weak.”

"No matter how much you cultivate in this life, you will eventually encounter an enemy that you cannot defeat. This is..."

Li Chaofeng continued: "There is no way to seek the truth, right?"

Li Chaofeng: "Yes."

The golden light on Li Chaofeng's body became even brighter, and he clasped his hands together and chanted.

"Life and death are in a cycle, and there is a way to reincarnation. The Buddha is merciful and will save all living beings."

"Have you realized it?"

Li Chaofeng nodded: "I almost understand it."

There was a golden light on Li Chaofeng's head. Looking at the still clearly visible Li Chaofeng, he also looked puzzled.

“Since you understand, why don’t you go to Nirvana?”

Li Chaofeng: "Because I still have a question in my mind that you haven't solved yet."

Li Chaofeng bowed his head and said, "Please ask, benefactor."

Li Chaofeng smiled: "Has your golden light washed away the blood outside?"

Li Chaofeng frowned: "What do you mean? Can you still take back control of your body?"

Li Chaofeng said proudly: "Why not?"

Li Chaofeng asserted: "It's impossible. You have no way to go and no path to follow."

Li Chaofeng smiled: "But there is still a way to go in this world, isn't it?"

As soon as these words came out, the dazzling golden light of Li Chaofeng began to flash, and then gradually dimmed.
As the golden light above Li Chaofeng's head really began to dim, Li Chaofeng's face became more and more proud.

The Golden Buddha in front of me can still communicate.

But the blood light outside the golden light made Li Chaofeng feel drowsy as soon as it touched him, and he had to be awakened by external force.

He had indeed killed more people in his life.

Sympathy for one's own kind. Even though Li Chaofeng has woken up, he doesn't want to clean up the residual souls between his consciousness.

You can only kill with a borrowed knife.

No, in Buddhism you cannot call it "people", you should call it "saving the soul".

It is always faster to do this job than for Li Chaofeng to kill them one by one with his own hands.

With his hands behind his back, Li Chaofeng explained with a wry smile.

"Who told you that my life must be complete and I must achieve enlightenment?"

"I have done what I feel guilty about. Even if I can't see the road clearly, I am still me, right?"

"I do what I am supposed to do, and the rest is for others to do. It has nothing to do with me."

"I am for all, and all are for me."

"This is the path I want to take. As for the rest, thinking too much will only add to my sadness."

Li Chaofeng clasped his hands on his chest, narrowed his eyes, and spoke with a hint of anger.

"Now that you've seen me with your own eyes, how dare you cut off your own future?"

Li Chaofeng smiled and said, "A man lives for only one lifetime, and plants and trees only last for one autumn."

"There is no future here. You are just Tathagata."

"Tathagata, Tathagata, I'm sorry."

"Tathagata did not come."

Li Chaofeng laughed angrily: "What a great Tathagata Future, you have a good memory."

"Since you are unwilling to save yourself, I will use the Vajra Method to forcibly save you."

Before he finished speaking, Li Chaofeng had already clenched his hand and recited slowly.

"The place of transformation is not real, the transformation of things is formless, the transformation of Buddha is the palm of your hand."

"The first form of the Tathagata's Palm, the Buddha's light first appears!"
