Chapter 949: Piecing Together Deformity to Form a Demon Body

Lifting the white cloth covering the corpse, one could see that the corpse was an adult male, his skin pale, looking like it had been soaked for a long time, somewhat bloated.

There were some water stains on his body, and he was soaking wet, with his hair even dripping water. The whole person looked like a dead body that had just been salvaged.

This made the people of the Three Emperors Society quite dissatisfied.

"Is this the corpse you brought?"

An old doctor from Dagu stood up, leaned over to take a look, and pinched the two iron balls in his hand with dissatisfaction: "This was tied with a rope and dragged under the ship, right?"

"I'm afraid this isn't someone who just drowned; dead for a few days doesn't look like this..."

Another doctor frowned: "There are many people who drown in Dagu. Every year, hundreds of floaters drift down the Haihe—drowned, killed and thrown into the water, I can tell at a glance. But this dead foreign devil is the first time I've seen one!"

"What do you think?"

Everyone in the Three Emperors Society knew that this was an expert in saving drowning people. His shop was right by the Haihe, known as the "Long Wang Competitor." If the Long Wang wanted someone, he could save them back.

"If those foreign devils aren't lying to us, I think it looks like a 'Long Gong Guest'."

Those who make a living on the water call those who drown but don't die 'Long Gong Guests'.

Legend has it that such people are not destined to die when they drown; they are invited by the Long Wang to a banquet. They drown in the water for a short time of one hour, or as long as two or three days, and can still return to life! It's like going to the Long Gong for a banquet.

Those who go for an hour are just kept by the Long Wang in the water to talk for a while.

Those who go for a day are at a small Long Gong banquet. After such people return, they become proficient in water. From then on, as long as they overcome their fear, they can be as agile as a live fish in the water, with excellent water skills.

Those who go for three days are at a grand Long Gong banquet.

Such people are rumored to have drunk Dragon Saliva Wine and eaten Water-Avoiding Beads in the Long Gong.

Their bodies won't rot after being soaked in water for three days. After returning, they will grow dragon scales, or meat whiskers will grow in their mouths. Even more, their heads will have horns, and even their bones will change.

Once they start practicing martial arts, they have top-tier bones. If they study, they are also destined to be top scholars.

Even if they are neither literary nor martial, they can still be rich and noble...

But such people have died once, their lifespan is yin lifespan, and their luck is yin luck, which hinders people in the yang world. Although they can be rich and noble themselves, those around them are hindered. Even when they have children, there are many stillbirths, so others have many taboos and are unwilling to be close.

They themselves often stay indoors, and when they reach old age, their style is mysterious, often not dying a good death.

It is rumored that those who have attended the grand Long Gong banquet will be picked up by the Long Wang when they reach old age. After death, there must be something strange, and their bones will be peculiar, coveted by evil spirits.

Dr. Hua of the Three Emperors Society reached out and pressed on the surface of the corpse's body. The bloated skin still had elasticity, and after being pressed in, it quickly bounced back.

"It really doesn't look like a dead person!"

Dr. Hua's expression was solemn: "Between life and death, if it's not a zombie, it's a yin person. The gods and Buddhas set banquets for upper yin people, the King of Hell doesn't keep middle yin people, and lower yin people are hard to distinguish between dead and alive. Such people have their own destiny and are not managed by us in the medical profession who worship the Three Emperors... Let the foreign devils drag him back."

Shilin hurriedly stopped him: "This is a corpse with post-natal deformity due to illness, which is very precious in anatomy. We also brought this precious corpse with great kindness."

"He may have rare alienation phenomena on his body, just like the body semi-alienation that only occurs when your Eastern kung fu is practiced to an extremely profound realm..."

Dr. Hua's eyes widened: "You foreign devils really don't have good intentions. Martial arts masters practice body alienation! After you foreign devils kill people in the East, you dare to dig up corpses, wanting to plot to seize the essence of martial arts. No wonder the fist societies spread all over the north back then, and martial arts practitioners all wanted you to die!"

"That was all a misunderstanding."

Shilin said frankly: "The medical society did not respect your customs and traditions, ignored your strength, and adopted an attitude of treating the indigenous people of the New World. There are many doctors outside the medical society, especially the Deformity Research Society and the Racial Classification Society! They are semi-mystical societies where black sorcerers gather, and they have done many very bad things regarding the research on the bodies of other races and the obsession with deformity."

"But I must say, they have not treated the civilized people of the Western Continent any better than you. They buy abandoned deformed children from parents and orphanages, secretly dig up corpses, dissect patients, conduct research on special individuals without any respect, and mutilate them."

"Even in the Western Continent, their actions are despicable!"

Shilin skillfully shifted the blame to the Deformity Research Society and the Racial Classification Society. Moreover, from her tone, she was indeed full of disdain and hostility toward both.

Dr. Hua snorted coldly and said: "We can't tell which sect you foreign devils belong to, but back then, quite a few infant corpses were found in your so-called churches, soaked in glass jars!"

"Under the name of adopting orphans, doing such things that harm heaven and conscience, you deserve to die..."

Someone asked: "Body alienation varies from person to person, from inside to outside. You foreign devils are so obsessed with researching strange people, what exactly do you want to do?"

Shilin smiled bitterly: "They blaspheme the Holy Trinity, believing that the mutations of humans contain the blueprint and secrets of the Holy Grail Mother creating humans."

"They blaspheme the sacred complete body of man, spit on the most perfect and flawless state of the human body, and try to depict this form in the sacred secret original 'Vitruvian Man' of the medical society."

"They believe that the deformity, distortion, incompleteness, and mutation of the human body contain the true perfect person."

"They believe that the complete person in mysticism has another realm. They try to piece together the true complete person with the most perfect deformity!"

"Thus becoming a superman, a non-human, a perfect creature, the ultimate life, the most perfect form of all dark creatures—Black Adam."

"They want to forever override all diseases and injuries. They want longevity!"

Shilin's expression was solemn, and clear brilliance flickered in her eyes as she said sincerely to everyone.

"Oh!"

The doctors of the Three Emperors Society had only half-understood before and looked at each other.

Hearing this last sentence, they suddenly understood and made a uniform sound.

"So they want longevity!" The hostility in Dr. Hua's eyes suddenly dissipated by 70%. He relaxed and smiled at the people around him: "I didn't expect foreign devils to also pursue longevity. I thought they were all lunatics who believed in the foreign religion!"

The doctor beside him twisted a long beard and laughed: "Piecing together a longevity body through body alienation?"

"It actually makes some sense!"

"Martial arts practiced to the extreme only then have 'body alienation'. Whether it's the dragon bones practiced by the Five Emperors Dragon Fist of the previous dynasty, or the five great grandmasters of the north and south today, the Emei Peerless Sword Bones practiced, the Wudang Turtle-Snake Coiling Intestines, the Skyborne Shaolin Indestructible Golden Body, the Inner Palace Heavenly Human Body, or the Wan Shou True Form of the fist altar, all emphasize connecting the strange phases derived from several martial arts into one, refining the resulting martial arts supernatural powers into one body. It seems to have the flavor of body alienation integration."

"Foreign devils want to piece together the most mysterious innate body alienation into a perfect body. Isn't that the True Martial Dharma Body that has been circulating in the martial arts world for a long time?"

"Dr. Huo!" Dr. Hua gave a thumbs up and smiled: "You have insight!"

"Alas!" The doctor called Dr. Huo sighed and said in his hometown dialect: "The Peerless Sword Bones focus on the four limbs, especially the hands. From fingertips to wrists, wrists to forearms, forearms to upper arms, all are symmetrical and precise. The four limbs are called the four poles."

"The four poles support the sky; everything in the world can be used like a sword in their hands. Once practiced, they can fly swords to kill!"

"The Turtle-Snake Coiling Intestines are closest to the True Martial Dharma Body, refining all the internal organs into strange phases. Legend has it that the six internal organs of the large and small intestines are like snakes, and the heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys are like turtles. It is said that when the True Martial Great Emperor Liu Changsheng ascended, he dissected his belly to replace his internal organs, and strange turtles and strange snakes drilled into his belly to turn into internal organs. Only then was his dharma body complete, and he ascended to his position on Wudang Mountain."

"Wudang witnessed this scene and created the Turtle-Snake Coiling Intestines body alienation!"

"Skyborne Shaolin external skills already encompass everything. The body alienation of Indestructible Jin Gang formed by integrating all external skills is recognized as the most perfect body alienation."

"The Heavenly Human Body is mysterious and unpredictable, always passed down only in the Inner Palace. It is neither yin nor yang, a body alienation phase that transcends yin and yang. The Wan Shou True Form is also the Ten Thousand Beast True Form, based on Xingyi Fist, integrating the north and south beast-form fist techniques, integrating the fist theories of ten thousand families, and only exists in a legendary realm. Legend has it that when the north was rioting with fists back then, the fist altar once integrated a hundred families and almost created it!"

"Unfortunately, the grandmaster Luo Neng passed his fists to ten thousand families but died in the fist-practitioner riot more than ten years ago."

"If one uses the Peerless Sword Bones as the four poles, the Turtle-Snake Coiling as the internal organs, the Indestructible Jin Gang on the outside, the Heavenly Human Dharma Body on the inside, plus integrating the fist techniques of ten thousand families, taking all the essence of north and south fist techniques, maybe one can really achieve the True Martial Dharma Body and open the ascension furnace of the True Martial Dao path."

Dr. Huo sighed: "This is an obsession of us martial arts practitioners!"

"As for the foreign devils' way of using medical surgery, using knives to dissect people's internal organs, wanting to cut everything open to see, and depicting it as a diagram—wanting to depict a perfect body alienation dharma body, keep dreaming!"

"Obsessed with external appearances, it's no wonder they don't become demons!" Another doctor nearby said with disdain: "What they piece together in the end, who knows what kind of monsters they are!"

"Yes! Martial arts body alienation can at least grasp oneself, knowing the blessings and misfortunes. Dissecting other people's strange phases, who knows if it's the bones of immortals and Buddhas or the bodies of demons? Putting them together so messily, it's no wonder they don't piece together demons."

Wu Ya ignored the noisy Three Emperors Society side and walked straight to the corpse. She used her hand to pry open his eyelids. The blue pupils shrank to the size of needle points, like a deep well, extremely strange.

Inexplicably, Wu Ya felt that the eyes that had shrunk to needle points seemed to shrink a little more imperceptibly.

"How did he die? How many days has he been dead?"

Listening to the fierce discussion on the Three Emperors Society side, with various northern dialects rising and falling, Shilin, who only half-understood, subconsciously raised her head and said: "He was a sailor on the 'North Star'. The North Star set sail from the New World and has been docked in Tianjin Port for half a month! Seven days ago, he inexplicably fell ill and fell into the sea, and wasn't discovered until the next day!"

"Dead for seven days!" Wu Ya's pupils shrank, and her fingertips stayed above the corpse.

Dr. Hua's expression also changed suddenly, and he leaned forward: "This is called dead for seven days?"

The "Long Wang Competitor" also leaned over: "Those who drown often turn into fetal breath, making it extremely difficult to distinguish between life and death. Among the various parties, those who die from external evil and internal evil are called illness, those who die from external forces like knives and weapons are called injury, and only drowning is directly called death! Because the dead have no breath. Drowning people often have no breath, so they are regarded as dead."

He said meaningfully: "Sometimes, even we don't know whether what we saved back is a living person or a dead person!"

Dr. Hua muttered: "The Long Wang banquet for seven days is called the 'Burning Tail Ascension Banquet'. Those who return from such banquets are either the Long Wang who has ascended returning to life, or the unburnable dragon ghost possessing the body."

"If this thing is saved back..." He shook his head slightly: "That's going to be a big trouble!"

Shilin stared with her clear big eyes, looked left and right, then picked up a scalpel and cut a long opening horizontally across the corpse's chest.

"Don't!" The "Long Wang Competitor" exclaimed.

Dr. Hua also opened his mouth...

The "Long Wang Competitor" watched Shilin stop, signaled her to continue, and then breathed a sigh of relief, saying frankly to the left and right: "Still, the foreign devils are ruthless. Whether it's a living person or a dead person, they dissect them as dead people. No wonder they don't have retribution for damaging yin virtue so much. Now, no matter how many days the Long Gong Guest attended the banquet, they have to stay in the Long Gong!"

Shilin tidied up her gloves and shrugged.

"But he is already dead!"

Shilin continued to cut vertically, with great openness, drawing a Y-shaped opening for the corpse. Suddenly, the heart, liver, spleen, and lungs were exposed, black stagnant blood settled in the abdominal cavity, and in the chest cavity, the lungs at the very top immediately attracted everyone's attention. ===== CHAPTER 950 =====
