Chapter 178: The Meeting (Part 2)

Yang Sheng… I heard that name again. Personally, I don’t have any major grudges against him. Originally, we didn’t have the same beliefs, so we couldn’t work together, and it was only natural that we would eventually become enemies.

The one who put feelings into him was Chen Chengyi… After all, he was the first outsider to break into his heart.

He brought a different feeling to his relatively closed world since childhood… So, Chen Chengyi has always cared about it!

But now I am not Chen Chengyi, and I thought there would be no waves in my heart… However, when the elder said it so solemnly, my heart still trembled a little. I knew very well that this was Chen Chengyi’s emotion… Or, it was a problem that had troubled him for too long and was finally about to be solved.

No one knows this little ripple in my heart, and the elder also put down the pamphlet in his hand with a solemn look… Then he waved his hand, signaling the two disciples who had been standing next to the Snow Mountain venue.

“Before I say any more, I want to show you something. I think after all these big and small, countless battles… everyone is already familiar with it, but this time, I still have to say it seriously.” The elder said solemnly.

While he was talking, two disciples of the Snow Mountain Sect had already gone down… Everyone naturally did not object to the words of the elder, and they all waited in silence.

I don’t know what the elder is selling. But in a short while, two disciples of the Snow Mountain School carried a corpse up… Yes, it was obvious that it was a corpse, covered with a white cloth and its face covered… and it was placed in the center of the venue by two disciples of the Snow Mountain School.

No one understood why, at the beginning of a perfectly normal meeting, the Snow Mountain disciples would bring up a corpse. They all looked at each other, puzzled, waiting for the next move.

The elder didn’t waste any time. After the corpse was carried in, he left his seat and walked over to the corpse… In front of everyone, he ripped open the white cloth covering the corpse.

Under the white cloth, there was indeed a human corpse… but unlike a normal corpse, this corpse showed no signs of normal decay, but rather, the marks were intertwined, and the muscles were black and hard… judging from the teeth and fingernails, there were signs of zombieification.

The elder didn’t say a word… he just lifted the clothes that were loosely covering the corpse, and underneath the clothes were wounds… but the scene that appeared was shocking, because this was already a corpse, and according to science, the body’s metabolism would have stopped, but the wounds on this corpse had actually healed.

What’s even more surprising is that… the body under the clothes of this corpse is a mixture of new and decaying flesh… and when it is opened, a foul smell comes out.

Everyone’s face was full of surprise, but they weren’t too shocked… The group of people, including me, weren’t too shocked… We had been in contact with Yang Sheng and his men so many times, and we had communicated with each other… We had long known that Yang Sheng had a group of “elite” men under his command who wore masks and no longer behaved like normal people, so…

Before my master and I fled to the Snow Mountain Sect, we were chased all the way… So, haven’t we had contact with them before? I even thought of the Yun family and Yun Xiaobao…

As for the others, they have experienced many struggles with Yang Sheng’s forces, and as the elders of the Snow Mountain Sect said, they may be somewhat familiar with these “elite.”

“Everyone saw it. Even though they were prepared, they were still shocked, weren’t they? This is what makes the evil cult crazy. It’s about Yang Sheng’s experiments… and this corpse is the result of Yang Sheng’s experiments! For these people, no, or they can no longer be called human… you have all had some contact with them and know that once they die, their bodies will quickly decay… Yang Sheng did this to leave no evidence! But later, our people discovered a secret. The reason why these people decayed so quickly was because they had hidden a drug made by Yang Sheng between their teeth and had bitten it before they died… The elder explained everything to everyone.

These are indeed secrets. Before, I had never heard of such a theory… It can be seen that the righteous people paid a great price while knowing these things.

“Why would Yang Sheng do this? There must be something he didn’t want us to find out… So, we went to great lengths to get a perfectly preserved corpse… Then, as you can see, it has completely turned into a zombie. Or rather, it can’t be turned into a zombie. According to the information we got, it’s part of Yang Sheng’s so-called grand plan—the human transformation plan!” The elder said solemnly, then covered the corpse with a white cloth.

At this moment, I remembered the old village chief in Chen Chengyi’s memory… When I actually saw the full picture of the monsters under Yang Sheng’s command, I only had one thought in my head.

But at the same time, I was deeply shocked. I knew everything about Yang Sheng… Could it be that Yang Sheng had come to this? This was simply against the heavens and against the heavens… But was he really wrong?

I frowned. If he succeeds, it will be a remarkable achievement… But Chen Chengyi will definitely jump out and say it’s absolutely wrong, right? Why would I think like that?

What exactly is wrong with it? I found that I didn’t understand.

Although I was very confused, I kept my composure on the surface… and the elder who was explaining the plan naturally didn’t know what I was thinking, but turned to everyone and said, “Isn’t this plan very tempting? Look at the body, how strong is it? Even if it dies… the wound has not stopped healing! Everyone cultivates the Dao, hoping to find the right path… Taoists hope to one day achieve metaphysical pursuits… Buddhist monks also hope that one day they will be able to achieve perfection and ascend to the Western Paradise… In a way, Yang Sheng’s plan provides a shortcut, doesn’t it?

The elders looked at everyone, and everyone was silent… In a way, yes! Even, to put it more broadly, if this body looks better and there is no constant replacement of the old with the new, then this is indeed a shortcut… and if Yang Sheng continues to study, maybe he will solve these problems?

I suddenly remembered Yang Sheng, whom I met in the small town… His appearance has completely returned to normal. Could it be that we were wrong?

At this moment, my brain suddenly began to buzz violently… Then I felt Chen Chengyi’s will struggling strongly. The only thing that kept repeating in my head was: “Little Taoist, you’re wrong. You’re wrong beyond all recognition.”

I was wrong. How was I wrong? I subconsciously gave such a response… but I felt Chen Chengyi’s intense anger!

For a moment, this struggle was entangled in my soul and brain… My face suddenly turned red… But everyone who was listening attentively to the Elder’s explanation of everything did not notice my abnormality…

The elder’s words continued, “This seems like a very good wish. Yang Sheng even wants to spread this series of ideas to all of humanity… But is it really feasible? God has already given us the answer… We in the Snow Mountain Sect have learned some facts about the original condition of this corpse through special means… That is, although this person’s body and strength were already much stronger than ordinary people, in some ways, he even had the talent of a cultivator.

“I never deny this. Many things revealed by science are actually proving metaphysics… But Yang Sheng is going in the wrong direction. The idiom of pulling up seedlings to help them grow is not false. We cannot ignore the wisdom of the ancients! What facts have we obtained? The owner of this body, before being modified, would have lived to the age of 70 if there had been no disaster… But now, even if he had not suffered any accidents, he would only have 40 years of physical life! This is purely about the life span of the body… Do you understand? The price of such a strong body is the human life behind it! The elder said with a resounding voice.

No one would doubt the words of the respected elder of the Snow Mountain clan… At this time, the elder took out a bottle of purple liquid from his sleeve… It flashed with a strange light in front of our eyes… He still wanted to say something, to prove something…

But at this moment, my brain suddenly felt like it was going to explode… I couldn’t help but let out a loud cry, and I fell to the ground.

The first to react was the old headmaster. He helped me up and looked at me with concern, asking, “Headmaster, what is this?”
