Chapter 134: Tongque's Worries and Concerns
Not long after, the group arrived at a dilapidated temple at the foot of the mountain.
Seeing the dilapidated state of this small temple, they all sighed and entered the messy temple.
In the center of the temple is a bronze sparrow stone statue covered with dust and hung with cobwebs.
Several people stood in a circle in front of the bronze sparrow stone statue, looking at him seriously.
Walnut put her hands on her hips, her expression full of interest:
"Is this the Bronze Sparrow?"
Gu Chen nodded:
"That's right, it's him, the little fairy among the Yakshas."
Changsheng, who was wrapped around Baizhu's neck, nodded and said:
“It feels like… there is indeed some spirituality left inside this stone statue.
Hey! You should still be able to speak, right? Don't be silent! "
The floating Paimon looked a little embarrassed:
"Changsheng, this isn't very polite. He's an immortal after all..."
After a burst of shouting, Tongque's consciousness could no longer bear it and uttered a voice within the stone statue:
"How do you know my name?
As the gentleman just said, I am indeed a fairy among the Yakshas, but I have fallen for a long time and now only my spirit remains.
I wonder what you guys want from me?"
Paimon replied with a smile:
"Hello, Immortal Tongque, we are looking for you for something.
Hmm... Let me think, where should I start..."
So next, Paimeng represented everyone and briefly recounted the purpose of their visit.
Paimeng's narration was very clear, but Tongque was confused:
"If I understand correctly, you are here to save me? To bring me back to the world?"
Gu Chen nodded:
"That's right.
As a former hero of Liyue, you should not be unknown, and you should not disappear quietly in the wilderness. This is unfair to you.
In addition, your spirit still exists and your body is intact, so all the conditions for resurrection are met.
I intend to resurrect you and make up for your regrets."
"Resurrection? To make up for the regret?"
Tongque's tone was somewhat uncertain:
“If I were to talk about regrets, I certainly have some.
It is indeed a great pity that he died in battle early and was unable to protect more people and contribute more to Liyue and the Emperor.
Now that my consciousness is about to fade away, it is a great pity that I cannot see the prosperous and peaceful Liyue Harbor.
Now, is there really a chance to make up for the regret?
Is the resurrection you mentioned truly possible?"
Hearing this, Bai Zhu smiled and tried to persuade him:
"Tongque Immortal, don't worry.
Resurrection does sound like a fantasy, but for this powerful Master Gu Chen, it is not impossible."
Following Bai Zhu's words, the bronze sparrow in the stone statue couldn't help but look at Gu Chen.
He noticed something and said in a surprised tone:
“Such a rich and brilliant light.
Ordinary people may not be able to see it, but after all, I am an immortal and can get a glimpse of it.
The power within this gentleman is no less than that of a god. Could it be that resurrection is real?"
Looking at Tongque's uncertain tone, Gu Chen spoke again:
"Bronze Sparrow Immortal, to be honest with you, the resurrection is not groundless.
The so-called being alive is actually just the triple harmony of soul, body and life.
Death is the loss of life, the soul leaves the body and turns into nothingness, and the body eventually decays.
In my opinion, this is not an irreversible process.
As long as the body is intact and the soul still exists, and with enough vitality, the process can be reversed and the effect of resurrection can be achieved! "
After describing the principle, Gu Chen began to explain the current conditions:
"Your body and soul are intact now. The only thing you lack is enough vitality.
It just so happens that the method I use to resurrect people is to replenish their vitality.
Under my control, I am more than 90% sure that I can completely revive you, Bronze Sparrow Immortal. You can trust me."
When saying this, Gu Chen's eyes were full of confidence and his tone was quite contagious.
Looking at Gu Chen like this, one feels that he is not talking nonsense, he really has such confidence.
Unconsciously, Tongque was also infected and his heart was moved:
“It’s so…
Indeed, my soul is still in my body, but I lack life.
But resurrection goes against the order of life and death and yin and yang after all.
If you resurrect me without permission, will you pay a heavy price?
If I bring harm to you by resurrecting me, I will never forgive you."
Seeing that Tongque still had such concerns, Gu Chen couldn't help but laugh:
"Don't worry, Immortal Tongque.
For me, I am just converting the light energy in my body into vitality and injecting it into you. It will not cause any harm to myself.
At most, some energy may be consumed.
It's not a big deal at all, I'll recover my energy after a little rest."
Tongque is still a little uncertain:
"Is it that simple?"
Gu Chen nodded:
"It's that simple."
He was still unsure:
"This is a reversal of life and death, a reversal of yin and yang, and the price is so insignificant?"
Don’t think Tongque is fussy. Gu Chen can understand his concerns.
Ever since Gu Chen obtained the ability to solidify life, coming back to life is no longer an impossible thing for him.
But for the vast majority of people, even for immortals and gods, this is a big deal!
It is hard to say whether Natasha has a poem about resurrection, but in most other countries, death is death, fall is fall, and even gods cannot avoid it.
It is because of this that tragedy and regret occur one after another.
After using knives too many times, whether they are immortals or gods, they will get used to it.
Faced with the complete departure of friends or themselves, many immortals have let it go and chosen to accept it all calmly.
As a result, today, you told me that life and death can be reversed, and the dead can be resurrected!
This point directly breaks people's inherent concepts!
Especially since such a rare opportunity first fell on Tongque, a Yaksha fairy! How could he not have any concerns?
Tongque doesn't care much about himself.
At worst, consciousness will fade away and death will occur.
He had been mentally prepared for this and had accepted it a long time ago.
His biggest concern was that he didn't want to implicate others, especially the person who saved him.
If something happens to Mr. Gu Chen, who wants to save him, because of his own selfish desires, he will suffer even if he is resurrected.
In order to comfort Tongque, Gu Chen smiled heartily:
“In fact, the cost cannot be called insignificant.
The law of the world is to follow equal exchange.
The price required for such a defiance-defying act as resurrecting the dead and changing one's fate is naturally not small.
But everything is relative.
If the same price is placed on others, they cannot afford it.
But when it comes to me, it really seems insignificant.
It's not that I'm narcissistic, it's just that my person and my existence... are truly unique and truly inconceivable."
