Chapter 689 The Heart of the Kirin
There are no demons in the world. The so-called demons are forced out by the cruel and ruthless side of human nature.
The causes that were planted with evil eventually received evil results. The invasion of the demons encountered by the Lost Continent is also a disaster brought to itself by humans. There must be a cause, there must be a result, there must be a result, and there must be a cause, and there must be a result, and the right and wrong cause and effect, and retribution is unhappy. This is an eternal axiom. Ye Tianxie was silently recalling his former self. At that time, he also deeply resented this world, hated, rejected everyone because of everything he encountered, and wanted to take revenge again and again...
"There are some things that cannot be distinguished from right or wrong. There are reasons for everyone to have people. You demons have reasons for demons. Of course, there is nothing wrong with humans fighting against demons in order to protect their homes. Demons also seek revenge... It seems that nothing wrong, everything is caused by humans. However, the expulsion of dark magic at the time should have been at least ten thousand years ago, right? People at that time had already died, and there should not be any demons at that time... Oh, except for the demon god you mentioned, then..."
"I know what you want to say." The blacksmith interrupted him with a voice: "Maybe you will feel that since the wrong person and the expelled person were dead back then, there is no reason for us to be so immortal with humans... But since the first person who practiced dark magic turned into demons under the pressure of humans, humans and demons have become natural enemies. The hostility between humans and demons does not need any reason, only victory or defeat."
"Since that's the case, why do you still want to marry a human?" Ye Tianxie asked.
"Because, even if it is a demon, no one will like fighting and killing. Here, I have all the dreams of demons. After so many years, my heart has become calm and I don't want to be a "demon". What I said to you does not mean that I am still hostile to human beings. I am speaking to you as a demon in the past, and now I... am a person, an ordinary person, a person who has no power, and no dark power."
No dark power? No power?
"So, your body will recover?" Ye Tianxie asked in surprise.
"Yes, my body was once eroded by the power of darkness. I can become one of the nine demon generals whose status is second only to the devil god. What I once had was the extremely powerful dark power... And the stronger the dark power, the more it backfired the body. If you have seen any of our nine demon kings, you will know how terrible the dark power will become when it reaches that level."
Ye Tianxie had never seen the Demon King... At the underground of the Phantom Beast Site, the Dark Ghost King was only one minute like a human, and nine minutes like a ghost. Walking on the street was enough to scare the timid passers-by to pee his pants.
Even if the Demon King is like this, you can imagine how scary the demon god Li Xiao, who has the strongest dark power, will look like a demon... It would be enough to have a nightmare for several months if you don't take a look?
"I came here through the cracks in the space, and all the dark power disappeared. Since then, I have been in a coma for decades... In the past few decades, my original body has gradually recovered year after year under the influence of the breath of life released by various flowers and plants around me, and has become a 'human'... If the demon bat did not appear, I may have forgotten now that I was a demon and the existence of the demon clan."
Deep in the eyes of the blacksmith, deep worries flashed across the eyes of Mrs. Blacksmith. This is a world that is isolated from the world and will not be stepped into by those she does not want to see, but unexpectedly, even in such a world, she still cannot calm down.
"After all, have you been discovered by the demon clan?" Ye Tianxie asked. The demon bat undoubtedly belonged to the demon clan. It appeared in the novice village and captured the child of the Qingming Ghost King, obviously because of her existence, so... However, there seem to be too many confusing things in it. Why did the bat catch her son, not her? What was the purpose of catching her son? Coercion? It was not like. Punishment? It was even more puzzling... What is even more puzzling is how did the bat come to the novice village?
There are three teleportation volumes in the Novice Village... One of the mysterious merchants No. 1, one was used by himself. Does that bat have a teleportation volume in the Novice Village in his hand?
"No, they didn't find me. They all thought I was dead. My appearance was already human. It was completely different from the past. The dark power had all disappeared. Even if they stood in front of me, they would not know who I was. It was not me who let the demon bat come here, but my son Xiao Ming." The blacksmith lady... He was the former Qingming Ghost King and said in a low voice.
"Xiao Ming?" Ye Tianxie was surprised. Could it be that there is something amazing about this child?
The blacksmith did not hide him at all, and his voice slowly explained: "Although my dark power has disappeared and my body has become a human body, my quality is still a demon. The environment of our demonic continent is completely different from that of the lost continent. It is full of desolation, poison, curse smoke, and countless disasters that may break out at any time. The body that grows up in this environment is destined to be different from humans. So, although I now have a human appearance, I am not a real human after all... Although I can combine with humans, the children born are also destined to be stillbirth."
Ye Tianxie: "!?"
"I knew this fact from the first day I was with my husband. I longed to have a child, so I successfully conceived and gave birth, because there was something on my body that could hold the child's life so that he would not die when he was born. That thing was sealed in my child when he was still in my body, and became his life during the long period of assimilation and growth of the child."
A sense of chaos arose in Ye Tianxie's mind. He reluctantly accepted the source of the demon and the fact that the old woman was a demon king. What she told later made him feel more like he was listening to a mysterious story that could not be more mysterious.
These are all messy things.
"Do you mean that the thing that attracted the demon bat here was the thing you sealed in your son's body?" Ye Tianxie said, perhaps the only explanation.
The blacksmith nodded coldly: "Yes, the demon bat followed its breath and was willing to track it down here."
"But..." Ye Tianxie frowned and thought of something incomprehensible: "If the demon bat came for the things in Xiao Ming's body, why did it capture Xiao Ming for so long and not kill him to take out the things in his body? Instead, it would block it into the dark soul bead... When I met the demon bat, it had been several months since it captured your children."
"I said that that thing has become one with my child's life... If it kills my child, then that thing will "death" and lose all its strength. There is only one way to take it out of my son's body... Save his life and use special power to strip its strength from my son's body little by little. This will be a difficult and long process. Because the power of that thing is too strong..."
"So...what is that thing that protects your son's life?" Ye Tianxie finally couldn't help asking. It would be impossible to let that demon bat chase after the novice village.
The blacksmith's wife still did not hide it, and she said the name without any evasion: "The Heart of Qilin."
Ye Tianxie: "!!"
The heart of the Qilin!?
The blue dragon, the vermilion bird, the white tiger, the black trunk, and the qilin are all the five guardian sacred beasts that were once the Lost Continent, and the first of these five sacred beasts... is the qilin.
The ring of the Azure Dragon, the feather of the Vermillion Bird, the ring of the White Tiger, the step of the Black Tortoise, the heart of the Qilin... These five magical instruments that inherit the power of the Five Sacred Beasts are also the most powerful with the heart of the Qilin.
This demon clan's Qingming Ghost King, the wife of Lao Wang, the blacksmith in the novice village No. 60001, actually has the strongest Kirin Heart among these five magical artifacts!
Ye Tianxie's expression was taken into consideration by the blacksmith's wife. She said calmly: "It seems that you know what the heart of the Qilin is, so... do you want it?"
"Think!" Ye Tianxie replied without thinking. Who doesn't want to get this ultimate weapon that carries the power of the Qilin? He doesn't have to make hypocrisy or cover up.
"Then, I'll give it to you." said the blacksmith, more straightforward than his answer. His voice was dull, and he was calm as if he was promising to send a cabbage everywhere.
Ye Tianxie became excited instantly... This is too direct! It's so refreshing!
Before Ye Tianxie could be exasperated, the blacksmith continued to speak, "But it takes time."
Ye Tianxie was stunned at first, but immediately responded. The Heart of Qilin is now tied to Xiao Ming's life. If we want to take down the Heart of Qilin, it will take a relatively long process. It not only takes time, but also will not be short. Then...
"Since your son's life is assimilated with the heart of Qilin, if the heart of Qilin leaves his body, will his life disappear?" Ye Tianxie said in a deep thought.
The blacksmith's wife shook her head and said, "Seven years have passed. Xiao Ming's body is already a life without any incompleteness and abnormality under the power of the Kirin Heart. Now even if she is separated from the power of the Kirin Heart, she is no different from a normal person."
"Then I'm relieved...but, how long will this time be?"
The blacksmith looked at him and shook his head: "I don't know, maybe a few months, maybe half a year, maybe a year... I can't tell you the exact time, I can only say... it won't exceed one year, not less than three months. If I could find you at that time, I would definitely hand over the heart of the Qilin to you, as a reward for you. At the same time... it is not a precious tool to me, but a source of disasters that will bring disaster at any time."
At least three months, at most one year?
Ye Tianxie's heart twitched... Could it be that he would have to wait here for three months to one year?
If he didn't wait, he wouldn't have a chance to return... That's the Heart of Kirin!
If you wait... for such a long time, who can spend it? Who is willing to spend so much time in a small novice village?
ps: I don’t know if my brain or fingers are squirting in the previous chapter, so I beat the Qingming Ghost King into the Rakshasa Ghost King. Well, I’ve corrected it. Does anyone remember the name Rakshasa Ghost King? I don’t remember the plot of the Tianhun Cemetery.]
In addition, today I suddenly discovered that the keyboard under my hand has been used for three years! From Shura to Evil Dragon, there are more than 5 million words in total, and they all use this keyboard code! In the past, I used this external connection when I used notes to code, and the desktop computer was also plugged in directly. I only used notes to record my own keyboard when I occasionally coded words in the car... In other words, all the more than 5 million words are from this keyboard, and I also have to add the usual writing and chatting with QQ... and the fierce trampling in various games... It has been three years, and it has not broken! No key has been broken, and it is very comfortable to press! Even the printed words on the key cap are not blurred!
What does this mean?
This shows that you get what you pay for! There is no good product for cheap, and good products are not cheap! The keyboard you bought at a high price is different. It took three years to use it and I have pressed it many tens of thousands of times! So, don’t buy things in the future. High prices represent high quality.
Well... I bought this keyboard for 19 o'clock, high-end USB interface keyboard.]
