The Secret Art of Refining the Dead: The Walking Corpse File

Chapter 527 Dispute
When I saw Tan Ren's actions, a flash of understanding suddenly flashed in my heart, and I said, "Could it be that this rebirth stone has something to do with the boss?"

Zhou Xuanye nodded, and said: "The reason why the corpse refinement can be developed to the extreme is that the ancestor of the corpse refinement wanted to revive his relatives, but in the end, he just refined a corpse that looks like a living person. The corpse king, but the corpse king... is not a living person after all." When Zhou Xuanye said the last sentence, he sighed and glanced at Tan Ren who was not far away. I also felt very uncomfortable in my heart, and said; " Then what?"

"Corpse refinement has been around for thousands of years. During this process of development, some people were able to discover the rebirth stone. This kind of stone is a crystallization in the sea. It is very rare. You know, the corpse king is refined from scattered souls. It is equivalent to piecing together countless scattered souls to form a new personality, and then put this new personality as if in a corpse. But the soul is not the soul, so the existence of the soul is more like a kind of..."

He didn't seem to know what to say, so I said, "It's like a sophisticated calculation program."

Zhou Xuanye smiled and said: "Your analogy is very good, that's it. But the rebirth stone, it can re-embed a person's soul into a corpse."

I thought about it, felt a little puzzled, and said, "Isn't that similar to the upper body of a ghost?"

Zhou Xuanye laughed, and said: "There is a lot of difference. Only ghosts and souls are different. Souls are living souls. After a person dies, the souls dissipate within seven days. Those who persist are called ghosts. Ghosts with advanced morals can rush to the upper body of the sun, but that Nor can it be regarded as resurrection; a living soul cannot enter the body of a living person, let alone a dead person, if a living soul enters the body, the person will live."

I said: "The rebirth stone you mentioned can let people's souls enter their bodies?"

He nodded.

I looked at Tan Ren at the side, and said in a low voice, "But what does this boss have to do with it? Could it be...you want to embed a living soul into his body? Then, wouldn't he cease to exist in the future? ?” I said as I thought about that scene, I just felt that this was no different from killing Tan Ren, and for a moment, I was shocked and angry: “No, it can’t be like this!”

If it was Zhou Xuanye from before, he would never mention this.

After I finished speaking, Zhou Xuanye glanced at me, sighed, and said, "Aren't you curious why he became like this?"

"I'm curious, but I don't want to know right now."

Zhou Xuanye was a little surprised and asked me why.

I said: "Because I don't know, no matter what you say, you just want to persuade me to agree with your decision."

Zhou Xuanye smiled when he heard the words, squinted his eyes while laughing, and said: "Why do I have to persuade you? Don't you agree, so I can't do it?" I was speechless when I asked this Literally, it blocks people to death.

That's right, what's the difference between me and disagreement?He doesn't need my consent at all for what he wants to do.This is a matter between him and Tan Ren, what can I do?
but……

Looking at Tan Ren's back, I always felt that I had to help.

So I suppressed the anger in my heart and said, "I'm curious, then tell me why."

The dangerous look on Zhou Xuanye's face disappeared in an instant, he laughed, and said, "That's right." He rubbed his face and said, "It's a long story, and my brother and I still There is a group of senior brothers who grew up together in Sanzi Temple. Later, due to an accident, the senior brother had an accident. The master spent a lot of money to refine his corpse into a corpse king and detain his living soul. Get up. Brother is the eldest among us and also the first disciple of Master. That incident dealt a great blow to Master. It actually cost a lot to train his corpse into the corpse king. , is what remained of the original body, so the brother you see now is actually very similar to him in terms of personality."

I was very surprised when I heard it, no wonder Tan Ren denied that he was refined by Zhou Xuanye before, it turned out that the one who actually refined the corpse king was their master, the master of the three sons' conception, the method is too powerful.

Tan Ren is the elder brother of the Three Sons, and the first disciple. Heaven and earth are kings and teachers, and heaven and earth are first, followed by monarchs, parents and masters. The relationship between master and apprentice was very close in ancient times, including in modern Taoism. , a very important relationship, and the meaning of the first apprentice is roughly equivalent to the eldest son in an ordinary family.After losing his first disciple, it is no wonder that the master of the Three Sons Temple would do such a thing.

I glanced at Tan Ren, and couldn't help asking: "Boss, what happened to him back then? How...how did he die?"

Zhou Xuanye didn't answer me. Facing this question, he was silent for a long time. I suddenly found that the hand hanging by his side was suddenly clenched, and the corners of his mouth were tightly pursed. Suddenly, I remembered Zhou Xuanye's split personality before. A thought suddenly popped up: Could it be that Zhou Xuanye's split personality was also related to Tan Ren's death?
wrong.

I remembered the photo I saw in his bag when I peeked at it before. There was also a young man exactly like him in the photo, obviously twins.

And Zhou Xuanye never mentioned this matter. Looking at the photos, he and his twins should have a very good relationship. If so, why didn't Zhou Xuanye mention it?

Maybe something happened to that person.

Zhou Xuanye's stimulation may also have something to do with his twins.

In the end, Zhou Xuanye didn't answer my question either, he took a deep breath, and said: "He died in an accident, as for the specific reason, don't ask again in the future, senior brother has no memory of that incident, none of us are willing to mention it. I said, this matter does not require your consent, of course, as a friend, it is better to have your support."

"If the living soul is embedded, the boss will no longer exist."

Zhou Xuanye was very surprised, and said, "Why do you say that, after being embedded with the living soul, he is of course more complete."

I said: "However, I don't feel that he is incomplete."

Zhou Xuanye said: "Is there any comparison between a real person and an artificial intelligence software?"

"But I like this smart software."

Zhou Xuanye's face darkened slightly, he stared straight at me, and said, "Tian Gu, what do you mean by that?"

"That's what you heard now. I like this smart software now, just like I liked Zhou Xuanye before."

His expression suddenly twisted, and at this moment, Zhou Er Er seemed to be back, and then, he clasped my shoulder with one hand, and said in a deep voice: "Of course you think the old Zhou Xuanye is good, because he was a fool, You can get any benefit from him, and he will meet all your needs. Now you can't get these from me, right? It doesn't matter, it's me anyway, so I'll just take it as you are praising me. "

I couldn't help smiling bitterly, and said: "I didn't mean that, and I didn't want to get anything from the previous Zhou Xuanye. I just thought, why should we pursue something that defies the sky? When a person dies, he dies. Is he resurrected? Tan Ren's body is already a corpse, and he can transform at any time to become that kind of monster. Could it be that a corpse is not a corpse if a living soul is embedded in it?"

"Brother Zhou, although I don't know how to refine corpses, there are some fundamental things that cannot be changed. I didn't regard Tan Ren as a program. If you insist on doing this, at least get his consent."

Zhou Xuanye said: "Although I can't completely control the corpse king, it won't be a problem to let him listen to some of my opinions." I thought about it, and found that in the past two years, Tan Ren and Zhou Xuanye had almost no differences. Although people have different personalities, in the face of some things, the final result is the same.

If Zhou Xuanye proposed to go, would Tan Ren refuse?It is even possible for him to help Zhou Xuanye into the water and go to the place where the sharks gather to find the so-called resurrection stone?
I'm not quite sure about the answer, but Zhou Xuanye's expression on his face made me feel a little chilled.If Tan Ren doesn't question Zhou Xuanye's decision, then what's the point of me saying this now?

The two of us standing here talking have already attracted Tang Linlin's attention, but she is a smart person, and probably saw something was wrong, so her usual curiosity was completely thrown aside, and she had no intention of coming to join in the fun.In fact, at times like this, I wish I could have one more ally, but this girl is too cunning, she hides faster than a fly when something happens, and she knows how to pretend to be ignorant.

After Zhou Xuanye finished speaking, he didn't speak again, and sat cross-legged on the ground. Everyone gathered in twos and threes and told their strange experiences, waiting for the dawn.

When the first ray of morning light came out, the cold atmosphere on the ghost ship dissipated in an instant, and it was as if the fog was blown away by the wind before our eyes, and it became clear in an instant. If we took a closer look, there was no ghost ship. Impressively still standing in the original position, as if never moved a step.
