Chapter 85 Qilin (II) Don't let your mind be filled with color crap...

It was a starless night. On one side was a noisy crowd with lanterns, and on the other side was a black cloud rising into the sky in the silent palace.

The two were clearly separated, and it didn't seem like they could exist in the same picture, but they were strangely harmonious, making people's hair stand on end.

Chao Jianxue jumped down from the top of the ancient temple. When he turned back to pick up Yu Wei, he saw that there was only a high pedestal in the temple, and no immortals or gods were enshrined.

"This place looks well-repaired, how could it be empty?" He frowned in confusion and looked around the ancient temple.

Yu Wei stepped on a stone lamp, and the dim halo illuminated his robe. He looked up at Chao Jianxue and said, "It was newly moved in, look--"

He was referring to the soil under his feet.

Chao Jianxue squatted down and took a closer look, and said in surprise, "The color is different!"

"The soil around the ancient temple is obviously not here, it should have been moved here later."

"Then how could it be empty?" Chao Jianxue half-squatted and looked up at him, looking confused.

Yu Wei walked to the pedestal of the ancient temple and said, "Brother, come here."

Chao Jianxue walked over.

"Brother, go up." Yu Wei asked him to go to the pedestal. Chao Jianxue said, "Oh, this is not good. After all, it is a place to worship immortals and gods..." Although the people of the Xuanzhen Realm have the mysterious power that distinguishes them from the people of the human world, they are not immortals and gods.

However, Chao Jianxue only said this verbally, and he did not avoid it in his heart, and still flew up lightly.

He turned around and faced Yu Wei: "Then what?"

Yu Wei said, "Brother, look forward, what do you see?"

"What else can you see, isn't it..." Chao Jianxue raised his head and was immediately shocked.

Opposite him was the statue of the Qilin. What was even more coincidental was that this position just happened to be looking into the eyes of the Qilin. Its horns were huge, like a golden tree crown, and its eyes were slender. The two natural golden eyeballs seemed to be alive, emitting a faint ghost aura, staring straight at him, and Chao Jianxue shuddered.

He jumped down quickly and patted his chest: "It's a bit scary."

Yu Wei smiled: "Brother, you are not afraid of demons, but you are afraid of this kind of dead thing?"

Chao Jianxue shook his head: "You don't understand, Chinese horror is different from demons."

Demons can be touched and killed, but the eerie ghost aura is different. When the cold wind blows, half of the soul will be blown away.

But the black air emanating from the palace is not like the demon aura and devil aura that Chao Jianxue is used to seeing...

He shuddered again and hugged his shoulders.

"Let's go at dawn, let's go at dawn!"

After leaving the ancient temple, the two returned to the bustling crowd and found a little sense of being in the human world. They were shoulder to shoulder and the breath of living people was very good.

There were masks for sale on the stalls, most of which were in the shape of animals. Chao Jianxue chose for a moment, handed Yu Wei a rabbit mask, and then chose a cat face for himself.

Yu Wei looked at the mask in his hand and asked: "Why is it a rabbit?"

Why? Chao Jianxue didn't know, he said: "It's a feeling, huh."

The rabbit looks gentle, but sometimes it can be very fierce.

As for the cat face in his hand, people like cats and dogs, so there are many cat faces like his on the long street, grinning.

He put on the mask, waved it in front of Yu Wei, and then laughed and ran straight to the snack stand in front.

Although there were many people, Chao Jianxue walked freely. Yu Wei followed closely behind, reaching out to hold his hand.

Chao Jianxue walked very fast.

The figures in front of him moved under the lanterns, and the surrounding scene suddenly became like a mirage, and the voice also faded away. Chao Jianxue's back became a blurred light and shadow, a piece of clothes that was difficult to touch -

another devil's voice sounded in Yu Wei's ears: "Do you think he really likes you?" He

just feels sorry for you...

"Get out!" Yu Wei split his spiritual sea with a wisp of sword intent, crushing the devil's thoughts.

When he opened his eyes again, Chao Jianxue was no longer in front of him.

It was because of this distraction that he lost his senior brother again.

Yu Wei's breathing became slightly rapid. He pushed aside the crowd in front of him and walked forward quickly.

They were all people wearing cat-faced masks. There were laughter and chatter all around. Yu Wei clenched his fists. Various sounds gradually distorted in his ears and became strange howling again.

"Yu Wei?"

A hand held his, and Yu Wei woke up as if from a dream.

The howling faded away.

Looking back, his sight returned to reality. Chao Jianxue was standing behind him, handing him a string of pink and green dumplings: "It's called Qiaoguo, you want to try it?"

Seeing that Yu Wei didn't move, Chao Jianxue shook it in front of him: "What's wrong?"

"Nothing..."

Yu Wei exhaled the turbid air suppressed in his chest, took off the harmless rabbit mask, lowered his head and took a bite of Qiaoguo from his hand.

He said vaguely: "So sweet..."

Yu Wei has never told others that he likes sweets.

When he was a kid, he was punished for eating such sweet things several times. The next time he tried it was on the Qixi Lantern Festival of Wuwei Sect decades ago, when his senior brother handed him a candied haws.

"Really... I think it's okay." Chao Jianxue took it back and ate the next green one.

The color dyed with mugwort juice has a very prominent fragrance.

"Do you want more? I ate them all?" He asked casually, but Yu Wei held his hand and bit off the last one without saying anything. The lips and teeth pressed against the pink ball, which made Chao Jianxue think of some scenes that he shouldn't think of.

"Ah!" He shouted inexplicably, and Yu Wei was puzzled.

Chao Jianxue quickly lowered his head, ate the last one, and put on the cat face mask again.

It's a sin, it's a sin, there shouldn't be so many colors in my mind.

The two walked to the bridge and saw the ancient temple from the side. The Qilin statue was behind it, like a huge shadow.

Chao Jianxue asked about the origin of the ancient temple of a couple next to it in a familiar way.

The man said, "That's true. It is said that this temple was originally built at the border between the two countries. The national master said that a unicorn lived inside! Later, the king invited it into the city."

Unicorn? Chao Jianxue was stunned.

The woman said, "I heard it from my mother, or my mother's grandmother. At that time, no one knew that there was a unicorn inside. They only said that the gods in this temple were very effective. At that time, if there were any minor illnesses in the village, they just had to go and worship and pray to the gods, and 70% to 80% of them would be cured. There was also a gambler who lost money and became a pauper. He went in and worshipped

, and the next day he dug up gold in the ground!" The man said, "Yes, yes, it was very effective anyway. Later, the national master said that the gods were unicorns descended to the earth, so a golden unicorn statue was built in the palace, and the statue originally enshrined in the tower was also moved into the golden statue."

So it makes sense that the tower is facing the golden unicorn statue.

How could this happen? Is there really a mythical beast? If there was, the Xuanzhen Realm should have known about it long ago.

Chao Jianxue and Yu Wei looked at each other, and had an idea in their mind. They asked again: "Does Qilin receive any reward for helping people eliminate disasters? No strange things happen?"

If it is not a divine beast, then it is only the monsters in the human world who are causing trouble and are worshipped to gain power. Although the Xuanzhen Realm has been coming down to catch monsters, the demonic energy has been surging in recent years, so they are not coming as frequently as before, which is also possible for the monsters to grow stronger.

Generally speaking, monsters must receive a certain amount of reward for helping people do things.

However, the woman shook her head. The man also said: "So it is the Qilin Immortal! The immortal doesn't want anything, tell me if it is a god or not!"

The god is quite divine, but also quite strange.

So, does the belief in Qilin Kingdom come from this? If the two hadn't seen the strange black air coming out of the palace, they would have thought it was a real divine beast.

Chao Jianxue looked at the tall Qilin statue and asked, "Why don't we go take a look now?"

Yu Wei said, "Brother, you're not afraid?"

Chao Jianxue said stubbornly, "I wasn't that scared anyway."

In fact, it was just because he thought it was something like a monster, not a ghost!

The two of them took advantage of the night and jumped on the palace wall to search for a while, but unfortunately they still found nothing. The black gas disappeared inexplicably.

It accidentally startled the patrolling guards, and because Yu Wei was wearing a snow-white dress and floating in the air so quietly in the dark night, Chao Jianxue heard a shrill cry of "There is a ghost!"

He was also startled and almost fell from the air.

Looking back, Yu Wei's expression was serious, and he tilted his head slightly to him, and he looked a little innocent.

He decided not to scare these poor little palace servants anymore, and the two of them left quickly and returned empty-handed.

There were only a few hours before dawn, and they asked for a room in the city.

After what happened last time, Chao Jianxue looked at the only bed in the room and couldn't help feeling ashamed. He touched his buttocks and wondered if it hurt anymore.

To be honest, Chao Jianxue felt that he was quite "cheap".

He had been in the lower position without knowing why. It was indeed very uncomfortable when he was not prepared at first, but he forgot the pain after the wound healed. Now he only remembered the overwhelming trembling pleasure that came over him. But he had no impression of how it went and how it became like that. It was like Zhu Bajie ate the ginseng fruit in one gulp and it was gone.

If Yu Wei insisted, he could accept it...

He felt like he was on fire all of a sudden.

While he was thinking about it, Yu Wei had already lit the candle. Under the swaying flame was the bronze Kirin carving on the lamp.

Yu Wei looked natural and his eyes were calm.

Chao Jianxue coughed awkwardly and thought to himself that he was really sick!

"Does Kirin really look like this?" Chao Jianxue asked to cover up the unnaturalness.

The Qilin statues here all have horns and horse bodies, which coincides with the records in the classics of the Xuanzhen Realm.

"Qilin is a lucky beast, and perhaps it has really appeared in the human world." Yu Wei casually flicked his hand, and three faint blue lotus spirits appeared beside him.

"What is this?"

Chao Jianxue curiously leaned over and stretched out his finger to point it. It was cool and had a deep spiritual power.

"Gathering Spirit Lotus. The spiritual energy in the human world is thin. If you want to practice, you need to use the gathering spirit." Yu Wei explained in a gentle voice.

Although Chao Jianxue listened quietly, he couldn't help but worry.

Yu Wei insisted on breaking through the demon barrier in the next breakthrough, but if the demon barrier was so easy to break, there wouldn't be so many powerful people who were possessed by demons.

"You..." Chao Jianxue struggled with words, "It's better not to continue practicing..."

He said very seriously, not joking. Yu Wei's face was stern, raised his eyes, and said, "Brother, do you really not believe that I can remove the demonic energy?"

Chao Jianxue looked at him, but didn't answer. The answer was clear without words.

He really didn't believe it. He

didn't dare to believe it.

There was worry in his expression, but Yu Wei was stabbed in the heart by this worry, and it hurt so much. He lowered his head and said self-deprecatingly: "Brother, don't believe it, then don't believe it."

Chao Jianxue licked his lips, hesitating to speak, it seemed that nothing he said would be good at this time.

He knew that although he and Yu Wei were reconciled now, they still didn't have the courage to be high-spirited and trust each other's lives.

Or maybe he didn't have this courage, he was afraid of losing the current Yu Wei.

Suddenly, a melancholy and sour mood wrapped around his heart. Chao Jianxue took a step forward, took the initiative to hug Yu Wei, and said: "I believe it..." But there was no confidence in saying it, and he was at a loss.

Yu Wei's chin rested on his shoulder, which was a little heavy, and it hurt him.

Not long after, Yu Wei pushed him away and said gently: "Brother, don't worry, go to sleep first. I will adjust my breathing."

Chao Jianxue said "Oh", he opened the window to look at the moon, which was not yet full, and counted the days: "There are still eight days..."

"What?" Yu Wei asked.

"There are still eight days until the full moon."

Chao Jianxue has a secret, and Yu Wei doesn't know it yet. I hope he won't be scared when the time comes.
