Chapter 87: Qilin (IV) It’s a witchcraft
Chapter 87 Qilin (IV) It is a sorcery.
After death, people in the human world enter the Yin-Yang world and become ghosts. There is a saying of reincarnation. But people in the Xuanzhen world are dead after death and do not enter the Yin-Yang world. Therefore, people in the Xuanzhen world can see the messengers from the Yin-Yang world.
Chao Jianxue was sweating coldly as he saw the two tall shadows, one black and one white, wandering towards the hall. The two ghosts were very tall, not to mention that they were wearing two equally tall hats. When they walked into the door, they passed through the wall, and their red tongues almost reached the ground.
"When the Yin-Yang world is doing things, visitors from other worlds should give way." The ethereal old voice echoed and passed left and right in Chao Jianxue's ears, making him dizzy and dazzled.
He dared not look directly at the faces of the two ghosts, and drew his sword with gritted teeth, saying: "We are investigating the origin of the black air in the palace. Do you know..."
Before he could finish, the two ghosts ignored the formation under Yu Wei's footsteps and floated directly between them. As the heavy chains passed, the lotus spirits were broken one by one.
Yu Wei urged his spiritual power, and the formation suddenly lit up. Empress Ming noticed the movement and shouted in horror: "What happened! Who is coming! Who!"
She could not see the messenger from the Yin and Yang world, but could only hear the crackling sound outside and the inexplicable sound of chains, just like most nights before.
The light flashed like thunder, and from time to time it was as bright as day, and Chao Jianxue shouted hurriedly, "Don't let it in." Empress Ming was shocked. Is there really something coming? In the past, the chain only appeared outside the palace, but today it actually came in!
She covered the little princess and herself with the quilt, her forehead was sparkling with fear, she just held the little princess's face with her hands, crying and laughing: "Mother will protect you, don't be afraid, don't be afraid..."
With a "pop", the door of the inner room was pushed open with great force, causing the vibration to even make the candlestick on one side fall down, and the flames suddenly jumped up, and then Chao Jianxue stepped on it to extinguish it.
"Yu Wei!"
The only sword came straight with spiritual light, and then burst out a spiritual barrier, which actually blocked the two ghosts, and the two ghosts finally turned their heads.
——Crack, crack.
Perhaps because it hadn't used its voice to speak for too long, the ghost's voice shook for a while, and finally became clear: "...It's time to go to the Yin and Yang world..."
Chao Jianxue said: "She is not dead!" The little princess was clearly not dead.
I don't know if the two ghosts understood it, Chao Jianxue took advantage of the victory to pursue, flew out of Ming Qianli and circled Ming Niangniang and her daughter.
Lady Ming peeked out from under the quilt, shivering, but she could not see anything. She could only see two long swords that appeared out of thin air, shining brightly and emitting an endless halo.
But the cold breath that appeared out of nowhere enveloped her.
Chao Jianxue thought that his and Yu Wei's cultivation was enough to hold off for a while, but he didn't know that they did not belong to the human world or the Yin-Yang world, and the magic they used had no effect on ghosts.
Only when the people of the Xuanzhen world become immortals and jump out of the three realms, can their magic power affect ghosts. Otherwise, if any Xuanzhen world cultivator comes, the Yin-Yang world will be in chaos.
Chains appeared out of thin air, directly wrapped around Lady Ming's hand, and pulled her out of the quilt.
She squeezed out of her throat: "Immortal, save me! Immortal, help me!"
Chao Jianxue and the other two were not immortals, and they only passed through the two ghost shadows when they rushed over to grab them, and they pounced in vain.
But the target of the chain was not Lady Ming. After dragging her out, it turned around and locked Xiao Wangji's body.
Chao Jianxue hugged the little princess tightly, and was dragged along with her. Her waist hit the table and chairs, and she frowned immediately: "Hiss——"
Yu Wei fought with the two ghosts several times in a blink of an eye, but the spiritual power was useless. He flew dozens of talismans from his sleeves, barely keeping the two ghosts in place.
Chao Jianxue raised his sword to cut the chain, hugged the little princess and rolled out of the window, leaving the hall.
The two ghosts were investigating the case, and they couldn't do their job because of the strangeness of this place. This time they finally got the chance, why would they disturb their soul-snatching? So they were furious, and the ghostly energy soared to the sky, forcing Yu Wei to retreat, and ran straight towards Chao Jianxue with the chain.
"Senior brother!" Yu Wei raised his voice to remind him. Chao Jianxue had already bitten his fingertips, and Ming Qianli drew a talisman to kill evil around himself. Under the effect of the spiritual blood, the two ghosts were forced back a few steps.
The first time that the people from the Xuanzhen Realm disrupted their work, the two ghosts were furious and were about to pounce again.
Chao Jianxue was about to hide when she suddenly saw something. She pointed at it and said to Yu Wei, "There, there!"
Yu Wei looked in the direction of the sound. Behind the two ghosts, a huge black shadow appeared at some point. Its two eyes were long and narrow, shining with golden light, like some kind of ferocious beast. It actually bit the two ghosts' feet - or maybe not their feet, but the lowest part of their bodies.
Then it dragged them back, and the two ghosts cried out in pain, and the chains rattled.
Yu Wei rushed to Chao Jianxue, who was shocked and said, "What is that!"
Yu Wei said, "It has a demonic aura."
But if it is a demon, it is not entirely true.
The beast stepped on the golden light with its four feet, and the mysterious wind it brought was extremely powerful. The aura of its whole body was more like spiritual energy than demonic aura. It was pure and powerful, and it was rarely seen in the human world.
"Is it some kind of spiritual beast cultivated in the human world?" Chao Jianxue guessed after being shocked.
But looking at the confrontation between the two ghosts and it, it was obviously an old opponent.
Zhao Jianxue recalled the black air he saw the night before and realized that it was this beast fighting with the ghosts, and it must be to prevent them from taking away souls.
As for the fire in the hall, it was probably caused by such noise.
The two ghosts entangled with the beasts and broke into the hall. The demon-suppressing formation that Yu Wei had set up before suddenly worked. Seeing the beasts wailing in pain, Yu Wei retracted the eye of the Linghe formation.
Empress Ming also ran out of the hall and hugged the little princess, crying like rain.
She naturally couldn't see anything. Zhao Jianxue asked: "When the sound of the iron chain sounded before, were there any strange movements?"
She covered her head and said: "I heard it, and there were such cries!"
The so-called cries were the roars of the beast.
Zhao Jianxue suddenly realized that it was because of the formation they set up on the ground that the beast did not appear at the beginning.
It is a demon.
But why did it stop the messenger from the Yin and Yang world from taking the little princess away?
He confirmed again that the little princess had a ruddy face. Although she was unconscious, she was still alive.
But what is the true form of this beast?
Two ghosts and one beast fought each other. In a blink of an eye, the east corner of the bedroom was broken and the right pillar collapsed. There was a constant rumbling sound, and the guards in the palace all rushed over.
They could not see the fighting scene, but were horrified to see the ground and houses being destroyed. They knelt down and said, "Don't blame me, immortal."
In a moment, the two ghosts over there were defeated and dragged the heavy chain away.
The beast was also injured. Everyone saw black blood winding on the ground, all the way to Empress Ming and the little princess she was holding.
Empress Ming retreated again and again, almost fainting: "Don't come over! Don't come over! Immortal, save me!"
Chao Jianxue took a few quick steps forward and blocked the beast's way.
From the golden eyes of the beast, he suddenly saw a bit of grief, and couldn't help but stand there.
At this time, a very majestic man's voice came: "Where did this charlatan come from? How dare you run wild in the palace!"
The guards all surrounded them instantly, drawing their swords. Yu Wei walked quickly to Chao Jianxue, calmly holding his sword horizontally.
The two of them were surrounded together with Lady Ming.
The man who had just spoken walked into the light, wearing a black robe and a golden crown on his head. He was undoubtedly the king of the Qilin Kingdom.
The king saw the destruction around him and snorted coldly: "Execute these two immediately!"
Chao Jianxue shouted "Hey", "Why don't you ask what happened? Why are you so indiscriminate?"
"How dare you!" A thin and hunchbacked man walked out, and others respectfully called him "National Master". "You two deliberately destroyed the palace. I don't know what kind of magic you used. Guards! Take him down!"
Yu Wei's sword moved, and instantly the surrounding guards were ejected. The speed was so fast that it was astonishing. Everyone was shocked, and the National Master shouted in horror: "Monster!"
Compared with them, Chao Jianxue thought that this National Master was a demon. There was no spiritual energy on him. How could he be called "National Master"?
But he still had something to do.
The beast stopped in front of him. Chao Jianxue chanted a spell, and the guards around him jumped back and shouted. The king was also shocked by this strange magic that he had never seen before.
Chao Jianxue came to the beast, and the spiritual power rushed out from his fingertips and tapped into its forehead.
He needed to see what its true form was.
As the brilliant light sank into its body, this body that could only be seen by Chao Jianxue and Yuwei appeared in front of everyone.
The beast's shadow was as tall as a person, and mysterious winds rose from all directions, blowing Chao Jianxue's shadow into disarray.
Mortals had never seen such a scene before, and they were all stunned. The national teacher trembled with his fingers and said to the king, "It's witchcraft! Your Majesty! It's witchcraft!".
The golden light suddenly became stronger. From the point where Chao Jianxue tapped into the forehead of the beast's shadow, the black beast's shadow gradually faded away, and it actually showed a golden light all over its body. The diagonal was like a golden tree crown, and tears flowed from its golden eyes.
The black blood it had just smashed on the ground also turned golden, flowing out of its white body like flowing gold.
At this moment, the black clouds suddenly dispersed, the moonlight fell, and the huge Qilin statue beside the hall also reflected the golden light. Everyone knelt down in panic.
"It's Master Qilin! Master Qilin has appeared!"
"Qilin!"
Chao Jianxue was also shocked.
Qilin is an auspicious beast that only exists in the classics, how could it appear here, not to mention why this breath is so familiar?
Qilin stared at him, lowered his head slightly, his eyes were like a golden sea, and Chao Jianxue heard a low cry.
These eyes like the sea gradually overlapped with the previous pair.
Chao Jianxue remembered.
In the snow forest in the Xuanzhen Realm decades ago and the human world two hundred years ago, it was this pair of eyes, flashing with a lively and agile light, that saved him from the cliff, and then stepped on the Xuanfeng and rode the wind away.
"It's you?" He was shocked.
The white deer demon at that time is now a kirin with a golden body.
It also recognized Chao Jianxue, so it did not leave, and waited until now for Chao Jianxue to reveal its true appearance.
The kirin responded softly, but then its figure gradually dissipated. What came here was not its real body, but just a phantom of a clone.
What happened?
Chao Jianxue was astonished, and a spiritual light followed his finger against the kirin's forehead and sank into the sea of consciousness. He took a step back, and was supported by Yu Wei, who asked, "Is senior brother okay?"
Chao Jianxue's eyes fell on the little princess, and it was difficult to come back to his senses.
He understood everything the deer demon wanted to tell him.
It was worshipped as a kirin trapped in the golden statue, and the little princess was its tribute.
A year ago, a secret human sacrifice was held in the palace.
The little princess was killed in front of it and offered royal blood in exchange for its continued life for the monarch.
The deer was in agony, and used its magic power to restrain the soul of the little princess, which had not yet left. This is why the Yin-Yang world of the soul-sucking world was used to lock the soul every night, and the illusion that the little princess was sleeping and unable to wake up was created.
It witnessed the pain of the princess's death and conveyed it to Chao Jianxue. Chao Jianxue calmed down and looked at the king standing in front of him with a look of disgust.
The national teacher was trembling with anger at this time, saying: "The Qilin is worshipped in the golden statue, how could it appear here! It must be the magic used by these two thieves to deceive! Why don't you kill them!"
Everyone was in doubt. They saw the spirit with their own eyes. Are these two really just liars?
"Evil way..." Chao Jianxue was affected by the deer demon, and his eyes were sharp with hatred.
Ming Qianli turned into a moon sickle, and the pressure forced everyone to kneel down and stare at him in a daze.
The figures of the two were coated with the spiritual light that only immortals and gods have, and they stood in the void, standing firmly on the rustling wind.
The moon sickle was huge, and then with a loud bang, it chopped the golden statue of the Qilin standing under the moon in half.
A mournful cry came from the golden statue.
The Qilin then flew out and knelt in front of Chao Jianxue.
In the fairy light, Chao Jianxue held the golden ring transformed from the moon sickle in his hand, looking down on all living beings with the indifference of ants.
The guards threw away their helmets and swords, and no matter what the national teacher said, they would not believe it. They knelt down in front of Chao Jianxue and uttered incoherently: "It's an immortal... It's an immortal!"
