Time Travel: The Best Doctor in Ancient Times

Chapter 845: Chapter 671: Hidden Worries? Yuan Bao’s Resurrection

Manman spoke words that left the Dandan Bug speechless.

”Death and the end of the path! I’ve survived from the end of the Ancient Wilderness to this day, and now, must I die without a burial place for a mere Human Tribe? How could it come to this? How could it come to this?” Manman Bug roared hoarsely, the sense of unwillingness evident in his tone.

Undoubtedly, the key to resurrecting Yuan Bao lies with Manman, but clearly, he is very unwilling!

Because he understands the price of going against the heavens all too well!

”Wuwu... Must we just watch Yuan Bao and Er Que die like this? Manman, I want to save him, Dandan’s Mom doesn’t want him to die, I don’t want it either...” Dandan Bug cried helplessly.

”If you save him, you and I will surely die!” Manman spoke without hesitation.

”Wuwu...”

Within the shrine, the atmosphere suddenly became suffocatingly stifling.

The Four Great Imperial Gu are spirit communication, all waiting with wide eyes, lost and helpless!

In the Holy Golden Phantom, Manman was furious to the point of panting heavily!

And at that moment, a breezy voice echoed within the shrine, ”Insect God, a thousand years ago, you left this realm under the pretext of the Southwest people’s belief being impure, even enduring the pain of soul separation, splitting your own Divine Soul in half, for what exactly?”

”I...” Upon hearing this, Manman, the insect’s face froze, turned his head blankly toward the source of the voice, the Little Monk Bu Jie, and spoke in disbelief, ”What do you mean?”

”What do I mean? Haven’t you realized yet? You are the Insect God, returned to awaken in this world, yet unable to truly suppress and devour Dandan Bug’s soul, why?” Guarding by Yuan Bao’s side, the Little Monk Bu Jie looked up, speaking calmly, ”Because he is you, you are him. The cause of the past, the effect of the present, you divided your own Divine Soul, how could it possibly merge again now?”

”No!” Upon hearing this, Manman’s Holy Golden Phantom trembled, the insect’s face full of shock and uncertainty.

”The Southwest Land is the place your Insect God has inhabited and guarded for generations. If you truly despised their impure beliefs and wanted to abandon them, then why would you willingly endure the excruciating pain of tearing your soul apart and leave half of it to continue guarding this place?” The Little Monk Bu Jie looked at Manman with a solemn expression and spoke seriously, ”Insect God Manman, what did you discover back then that compelled you to abandon your mission, endure soul separation pain to leave this world?”

”The seams of time and space, gaps of inverted space, changing unpredictably, containing the power of heaven’s great spirits, extremely dangerous. Even your Insect God’s soul, an unfortunate accident, could vanish into the void gaps, eternally trapped, doomed beyond redemption, why? What made you willing to take such a risk to escape this world?”

Manman Bug’s insect face turned pale, the Holy Golden Phantom trembled greatly, yet the Little Monk Bu Jie pursued relentlessly, not retreating an inch.

”No! No! I don’t know! I know nothing! I can’t remember!” Manman shook his head frantically, a face full of fear and confusion.

But he clearly knows that, as the Insect God, he cannot merge Dandan’s soul, likely for only one reason.

Just as the Little Monk Bu Jie said, only because Dandan Bug is the soul he personally tore apart, under the cycle of causality, he cannot merge!

Thus...

If it truly is as the Little Monk Bu Jie said, then what was the reason back then? Why would he take the risk of eternal doom to leave this world?

”No! I can’t think of it! My memory, I can’t remember...” Manman painfully held his head, face full of agony, trapped in past memories, hard to extricate himself.

”Thud!” Seeing this, the Little Monk Bu Jie immediately struck with the Mulberry Wood Hammer, the heavy sound of the wooden fish reverberated throughout the shrine.

Under this scolding, Manman’s insect eyes gradually regained clarity.

”Alas!” The Little Monk Bu Jie sighed, spoke in a deep voice, ”It seems your memory has been obliterated in the void gaps, now struggling to recall, it is impossible...”

”What do you mean?” Manman was shocked and uncertain, a face full of panic and unease, ”Could it be... Could it be that I really tried to escape this world for some reason?”

Upon hearing this, the Little Monk Bu Jie lifted his head, not affirming nor denying, and spoke, ”Think about it yourself, if it was only due to the Southwest people’s impure beliefs, would you abandon your mission and leave this world? Manman, the Human Tribe, is most varied and uneven, as it has always been, how could you not know? If you truly gave up on the Southwest Land, determined to leave, why would you tear your soul apart, leaving half to guard this place? Only you, hiding from the truth, deceiving yourself, would fail to see clearly...”

”Then... then what exactly is the reason?” Manman appeared dazed.

The Little Monk Bu Jie lifted his head, as if to look through the shrine roof into the void, ”But I do have a vague suspicion...”

”What suspicion?” Manman pursued.

But the Little Monk Bu Jie turned his head toward Gu Taitian across from him, spoke in a deep voice, ”I don’t know what my suspicion is... to cause you to fall back into the world, unable to transcend, ultimately return, showing the intention of heaven cannot be defied...”

At this point, the Little Monk Bu Jie raised his head, eyes blazing, and spoke again, ”Now, the only way to prove my suspicion is to resurrect him!”

As the Little Monk Bu Jie spoke, the Mulberry Wood Hammer pointed at Yuan Bao’s corpse lying there, ”Resurrect him, attempt the act of going against the heavens, I want to see if the calamity of defying heaven will come upon the world again!”

”You! You! You’re mad!” Manman, upon hearing this, retreated in fear.

Who dares to use the act of defying heaven to prove something!

This...

”This is the only way...” Gu Taitian lifted his head, his elegantly handsome face unable to hide the mottled marks of age, a pair of wise eyes seeming to pierce the heavens, ”We need to see if the calamity of defying heaven will dissipate...”

”You! You are all crazy!” Manman growled lowly, but in his expression, there was already a hint of wavering.

Outside the Heavenly Palace Shrine, Gu Changsheng and the others were still waiting anxiously and uneasily.

This night was destined to be a sleepless one.

Even Gu Changsheng clenched his hands tightly, the light in his phoenix eyes flickering uncertainly.

In the boundless starry sky, a vastness floated as if a pair of ruthless eyes that could see through the world were watching over this place...

Time, like sand slipping through fingers, did not pause for a second as the night quietly slipped away beside those anxiously waiting, like Gu Changsheng.

The darkness before dawn was so thick that one couldn’t see their own hand outstretched, as if it could obstruct the probing of all things—a pitch-black void.

After the darkness, the doors of the Heavenly Palace Shrine finally opened. Gu Taitian staggered out, looking deeply worn and aged.

Gu Changsheng had attendants help his old father down to rest and rushed into the shrine without delay.

”Ah! You little monk, stop swaying in front of me! You’re making me dizzy!”

In the main hall of the shrine, a figure lay straight in the middle. The silhouettes of the Imperial Gu and Manman had long vanished, leaving only a little monk sitting at the head of the prone figure, busily working!

Yuan Bao’s voice!

Gu Changsheng’s body froze.

”Hmm? Who are you?” Yuan Bao tilted his head, his chubby child’s face full of confusion as he looked at Gu Changsheng’s figure. ”So familiar, so beautiful... Why can’t I remember?”

Before his eyes, a mulberry wood hammer flashed past Yuan Bao’s sight.

Yuan Bao’s eyes sparkled, a brilliant smile blossomed on his chubby face, his eyes nearly disappearing from the smile, ”Lady Changsheng! Lady Changsheng, your outfit looks really good! It’s so beautiful! Is it made from rare materials my master found for you? Hmm? Why is there a Dragon and Phoenix Imperial Pattern embroidered on it?”

Gu Changsheng lowered her head, glanced at her attire, and looked at the busy Little Monk Bu Jie with a face full of disbelief. ”Shang Xie, what’s wrong with Yuan Bao? What are you doing?”

Yuan Bao’s memories... seem to be a bit muddled...

And Little Monk Bu Jie, sitting cross-legged at his head, was tirelessly weaving with a wooden fish as the loom and a mulberry wood hammer as the shuttle...

What on earth was he doing?

Could it be?

Gu Changsheng felt a chill in her heart.

”Zhi Yi! When one dies and comes back to life, their memories are wiped away in the Six Paths of Reincarnation. Rebirth is like an infant. This humble monk is helping him recall his past and present lives!” Little Monk Bu Jie continued to shuttle the mulberry wood hammer, as if countless images flashed through Yuan Bao’s mind, forming a continuous stream...

Gu Changsheng felt awed.

However, Yuan Bao, lying there, was discontented, snorting through his nose as he glared at the little monk hovering above him and grumbled angrily, ”Little monk, who are you cursing? Just you wait! I will make Lady Changsheng cut off your supplies!”

”Yuan Bao...” Gu Changsheng tremulously reached out and tapped Yuan Bao on the forehead.

”Ah, Lady Changsheng, you’re bullying me again! Master! Master! Come save Yuan Bao!” Yuan Bao shook his head playfully, shouting with a smile.

”Bang!”

A mulberry wood hammer knocked on his forehead, and Little Monk Bu Jie withdrew his hand sheepishly.

”You!” Yuan Bao’s plump, jade-like face twitched, and he quickly tilted his head to one side, fainting over.

”Dare to threaten this humble monk, deserving of a hammer!” Little Monk Bu Jie inserted the mulberry wood hammer back into the wooden fish, stood up energetically, and straightened his little monk robes.

Seeing this, Gu Changsheng’s eye twitched, looking at Yuan Bao snoring like a pig, then at Little Monk Bu Jie, she opened her mouth hesitantly, ”Shang Xie, he... is he all right?”

Little Monk Bu Jie lifted his bright little head and glanced at Gu Changsheng, his face as kind-hearted as ever, ”This humble monk has acted, naturally, there will be no harm. A glance back, the past lives are like smoke, a turn around, the past becomes memories, a smile, reincarnation becomes a thing of the past. Tomorrow, when he awakens again, who knows what antics he will cause...”

”Uh...” Gu Changsheng was speechless.

Why did she feel that Little Monk Bu Jie also deserved a hammering?

”Benefactor Changsheng, my condolences!” Just as Gu Changsheng was in a daze, Little Monk Bu Jie’s small figure left behind a phrase and walked away.

”You!” Gu Changsheng was choked, was this guy gloating?

As Little Monk Bu Jie turned away, a hint of heaviness appeared on his benevolent, childlike face. He quickly walked out of the shrine, looking up at the boundless vast starry sky, his little brows furrowed, ”As expected, the great calamity has dissipated...”
