In the Blade

There is a world of difference between people and weapons.

Compared with weapons made of gold and iron, flesh and blood are too fragile. They don't even use gold or iron, just sharp wood. As long as they are stronger, they can easily pierce flesh and blood. This is why people need to use weapons. We use blades to fight, on the one hand, the weapons are more useful than the human body, and on the other hand, because compared to the fragile human body, the collision loss of the weapons is always more acceptable.

But weapons like weapons are not without their shortcomings.

"Three more of our men were captured."

Outside the prison, a muscular man with a round waist was frowning.

"The daggers they were carrying were found when they were being transferred, and those dog breeds asked people to take them down... These wild dogs are so vicious!"

"If you are caught by a wild dog, you will die. Even if you don't die, you will become a traitor in order to survive."

In front of the majestic man, a man with a sinister face shook his head repeatedly.

"Don't underestimate our enemies, they know exactly how to target us... So are you still against me doing that now?"

"You... forget it, that's fine."

Saying this, the two men turned their heads at the same time and looked into the cage.

Facing the gazes of the two men, Du Chengfeng felt cold all over. They were not looking at humans, but more like looking at an object.

Or rather, some kind of consumable.

The conversation between the two men did not mean to avoid him. It was obvious that in the eyes of these two men, the body he felt at the moment, as well as the other children in the cage, were just objects like tables, chairs and benches. No one would doubt that an oil lamp could eavesdrop, not to mention that all the children, including him, were indeed like objects, just lying there, unable to even say a word.

However, it is precisely because of this that Du Chengfeng heard more ulterior news from this perspective.

Those two men, as well as other people outside the prison, who lived here were all remnants of the old Chu. After the rise of the Yu Dynasty and the decline of the old Chu, the scholars of Dayu began to thoroughly investigate the remnants of the previous dynasty. Chase and kill them, never give them the slightest chance - as for the method of chasing and killing, this is not difficult, as long as the source of the Chu people's power is targeted.

So, after those scholars reached a consensus, this emerging Yu began to ban swords.

Except for the officials of the imperial court, civilians are not allowed to hide weapons privately. If there is any violation, the remnants of the previous court will be punished.

Although on a large scale, this ban has attracted a lot of criticism, at least in terms of results, this ban has accurately hit the Achilles heel of the survivors of the old Chu - they cannot carry fierce weapons, and their strength is There is a high probability that they will go there, but it is impossible for them to actually take action with troops, just because what those scholars want is to force out these remnants of the old Chu who are hiding among the people.

Either fight to the death, and then be completely destroyed under the encirclement and suppression of a group of masters, or give up the weapon, give up your own strength and persistence, lose that otherworldly ability, and completely obliterate everyone.

This is the path that the Yu Dynasty left for the Chu people. No matter which path they choose, it means the complete destruction of the old Chu.

However, the scholars of the Yu Dynasty still missed one point.

The unwilling remnants of the old Chu took a third path that went beyond common sense itself.

The children in this cage now are an attempt at this path. The survivors of the old Chu who had no way to go finally turned their attention to what those ancestors had never done - that is, tempering the body with evil spirit. By himself, he transformed flesh and blood into weapons, completely breaking through the limits of flesh and blood, thereby realizing the secret method of becoming an immortal and ascending to heaven.

"After all, our seniors have done it before. The Overlord Halberd they built can even be hidden in the host's body. This is enough to prove that whether it is a weapon, a human body, or even the evil spirit itself, there are too many things that we have not touched. field."

The man with a gloomy face once said his lofty ideals in front of the cage. Likewise, these words did not mean to avoid the children in the cage.

Because it's not necessary.

The children in the cage are as silent as death, including the perspective that Du Chengfeng is experiencing right now, which is Nanchen Taizu himself - of course, this child may not be called Nanchen Taizu at the moment, he has no name, and he doesn't even have a number. No.

Just because there are too few children in cages.

The number of people is too small, and it is getting smaller and smaller. After all, evil spirits are extremely dangerous for adults, not to mention young children - but soon, Du Chengfeng knew that these children were probably not just It looks so simple on the surface.

They're not even human beings.

It didn't mean the treatment, but that they couldn't be counted as human beings in the literal sense. It wasn't until Du Chengfeng watched the Nanchen Taizu being carried into the execution room that he realized how heartbreaking things these Chu people had done.

As we all know, when people go crazy under the guidance of evil spirits, they will most likely turn into inhuman and ferocious monsters. However, it is these ferocious monsters who only know how to kill, but they can be nourished by evil spirits without any burden. Growing all the way - and Chu people, who have made the most use of evil spirits, naturally discovered this.

So after countless failed attempts, the crazy Chu people turned their attention to these monsters.

Since it is difficult for the human body to directly bear the crazy evil, what about the monster's body?

And under the guidance of this idea, the crazy Chu people sewed out the children in the cage.

Yes, sewing, these children with human appearance, in fact, each of them has some flesh and blood from monsters sewn on their bodies, and after the sewing is completed, the Chu people will try to use secret methods to revive it, so that these sewn children can really use the crazy flesh and blood.

"A firm will can change everything."

The remnants of the Chu people firmly believe in this, after all, this is their last hope.

But a firm will cannot really change everything completely, especially this kind of overly unorthodox attempt. The children in the cage who were sewn with monster flesh and blood either fell to the ground like corpses or turned into twisted and crazy monsters-but it was the appearance of these monsters that made the Chu people more confident.

"At least a few can survive."

After killing the twisted monsters that the children turned into, the remnants of the old Chu continued to sew the flesh and blood of these monsters on new children.

After all, the environment is bad, and the materials that the old Chu survivors hiding in the dark can get are getting less and less. Now they can recycle waste, and they can't waste it anyway.

Even from the perspective of a bystander, Du Chengfeng couldn't stand it. The behavior of these old Chu survivors was too crazy, even beyond the scope of human understanding.

No wonder those scholars of the Yu Dynasty wanted to kill all these old Chu survivors. These old Chu survivors were too crazy. Their methods and behaviors were simply outrageous. Even Du Chengfeng, who was watching from the perspective of a bystander, couldn't help but want to kill them.

So his hands really moved.

The extreme madness brought knowledge that ordinary people could not touch. Those old Chu survivors actually made a living body that could move normally-and the only child who could still maintain a human posture after transplanting the monster's flesh and blood was the Southern Chen Taizu himself.

This was the first time that the Chu people succeeded.

Of course, if it was just an isolated case, the Chu survivors would not be sure, so they used the same technique to transplant the monster flesh and blood to more people - but those adult warriors who were much stronger than the children all failed the operation. Without exception, they either turned into crazy people who lost their minds on the spot, or turned into those inhuman monsters.

In order to deal with these monsters, the Chu survivors spent a lot, which made them, who were already struggling to survive, even more exhausted.

And the flesh and blood of these monsters were also transplanted to this only living body.

Unexpectedly, this only living body showed extremely high adaptability when facing the monster flesh and blood. No matter how much monster flesh and blood was transplanted, this living body could easily absorb and accommodate it, and then turn it into part of the body.

"Could it be that we made a mistake?"

The deviation of the experimental results once confused the Chu people. They were not very clear about what variables caused this situation.

In the face of this question, the Chu survivors chose to look through the notes of their predecessors.

Those were records that only the old Chu royal family was qualified to keep, because the things recorded in them were too crazy. They were all the experimental records made by the old Chu to study evil spirits. They were the wisdom crystallization with blood left by the old Chu Empire.

After reading the notes left by their predecessors, the old Chu survivors felt that they had found the key.

"Consciousness! Consciousness is the key to everything!"

That day, Du Chengfeng saw that the man with a sinister face had a crazy look in his eyes.

Originally, in the Chu people's plan, children were used as hosts for monsters' flesh and blood, simply because even if the young bodies became monsters, their destructive power was within the controllable range, but by accident, they hit a key point - compared to the complicated thoughts of adults, children's thinking is simple and direct, and the younger the children, the more blank their thinking is.

But it was this blank thinking that integrated those swords and evil spirits together.

This is something that adults cannot do. Adults have all kinds of desires, ideas, and desires, but it is precisely because of these ideas that they are more likely to lose themselves in front of evil spirits, or power.

However, children will not.

Children do not know how to use evil spirits, or even what evil spirits are.

This makes it impossible for evil spirits to infect them.

"Ah, this..."

After reaching a conclusion, the Chu survivors fell into confusion.

Theoretically, they succeeded, but in reality, this success is meaningless - indeed, under this crazy research, they really did the impossible and created a body that can perfectly carry evil spirits, but the question is, how can they use this research result to fight against Dayu, which is in its heyday?

It seems impossible. At best, they can only be regarded as creating a piece of fine steel, but can they use this piece of fine steel to smash the enemy to death directly?

Obviously not.

The reanimation was successful, but the child could not be used to fight against Dayu, which made the Chu people depressed. However, after spending so much money on the experiment, it was impossible to just throw him away in the dungeon. It would be a huge loss for the Chu people who were already struggling to make ends meet.

"So, why don't we cultivate him into a weapon?"

After thinking it over, the man with a gloomy face finally made a decision.

This was naturally opposed by the remnants of the Chu people. After all, this kind of thing was not only heresy, but also a betrayal of the Chu culture. You know, the Chu people have always picked up weapons to fight the enemy. They grow by enduring blood, trauma, and even the lives of the enemy. And now, using people as weapons... what is the difference between those Dayu scholars who manipulate people's hearts?

"What else? Are we going to let our hard work go to waste?"

Facing the accusations of the crowd, the man with a gloomy face roared loudly.

"We have spent so much effort to cultivate such a real immortal body. Are we going to let our hard work go to waste? Do you know how many people died and how much blood was shed in this process? Are you going to let their blood flow in vain?"

Of course, this man with a gloomy face did not just roar, he also gave a corresponding solution.

"A firm will can change everything."

The man with a gloomy face mentioned that sentence again.

This is the core research result of the old Chu Empire, and also the most valuable experience left by the old Chu Empire. So, since a firm will can change everything, does it mean that the body itself is not that important?

"First cultivate this immortal body and determine its stability. When it is really confirmed that there is no problem, the consciousness can be transplanted into it."

This is the solution given by the man with a gloomy face.

Using consciousness as a drive, waving this rare immortal body like waving a weapon, this does not violate the customs of the Chu people, and also makes use of this immortal body.

Then the problem is here.

Who will carry out this consciousness stripping?

In theory, the Chu royal family must be qualified to use the immortal body, but considering the danger, this is obviously not possible. The gloomy man also thought about doing it himself, but as the organizer of all this, he needs to preside over the entire experiment, so he naturally cannot do it. As for others... This is using the immortal body, who is qualified?

But in this difficult selection process, an accident happened again.

This sewn immortal body actually has its own consciousness.
