The first thousand nine hundred and twenty-four chapters
"Like a horse!"
"Like a cow!"
"Like a deer!"
"What kind of strange beast is this?"
Bai Qianhong stepped forward and took a look at the relatively clear footprints. The footprints of other beasts passed through her mind.
Compare them one by one.
Some are similar, but some are different. The spiritual sense covers the footprints, leaving no trace of breath, but... this is impossible.
The only possibility is that he is not in a good state and cannot detect the traces of the strange beast.
"It's not far ahead!"
Zhou Qing also glanced at the footprints and thought about it, but he couldn't identify them.
A vacuum enveloped him, his purple eyes moved, and when he raised his hand, everyone disappeared again.
"A strange beast at the level of Hedao!"
"Not Xuanwu!"
Yan Lingji was also very curious.
If it's not Xuanwu, then it's some kind of alien beast at the Hedao level. With Young Master by his side, safety won't be a problem.
The stream of light flew by, and the surrounding snowflakes became denser. From time to time, there was the sound of trees being broken by the snow, and traces were left on the ground.
"Something like..."
"Is it really that clan?"
Zhou Qing tried his best to catch up, but the speed of the strange beast was really fast. Under the operation of his magical power, his purple eyes looked deep into the void, and he could see its general shape.
Combined with the catalogs in the classics, there are a few that can be matched.
There is even a powerful alien beast that is quite consistent.
Hundreds of years ago, Zhuxia appeared once... Could it be that it came here?
"Brother!"
Xiaomeng was in the void, and following her senior brother, she only had the faintest feeling, but could not capture the true form of the strange beast.
"Stopped?"
“So much better!”
Stepping into the vacuum again, taking just a few breaths, hundreds of miles were left behind. In front of us was a mountain with even more snow.
From a location perspective, it is closer to the far north.
We are even... getting close to the place of extreme night. Counting the time, if we continue to go north, we will reach the place of extreme night and day.
The spiritual sense vibrated the vacuum, calling to the strange beast.
At this moment... it was also standing on the snow, its huge figure moving happily on the ground, shaking its big head, looking at Zhou Qing and his party.
"Um?"
"The Qilin Clan!"
"It's just like what's recorded in the classics, lion's head, antlers, tiger's eyes, dragon scales, ox tail..., the Qilin clan!"
The eyes of Bai Qianhong and others also glowed with purple light. Thanks to Young Master Vacuum's blessing, they could see the true form of the strange beast at close range.
Immediately, he let out a low cry.
It’s the Qilin clan!
I will never admit my mistake, I will never admit my mistake!
It belongs to the Qilin clan, and it is this Qilin that emits an icy blue mysterious light all over its body, and its big eyes sparkle with crystal light.
It is not as big as the white tiger clan in terms of size, but it is still ten feet long and five to six feet tall. It is covered with dragon scales like a blue dragon.
The four feet stepped on the ground, leaving footprints one by one, and the body looked quite graceful.
"Qilin!"
"Hundreds of years ago, there was a Confucian legend that when Confucius came to the world, a unicorn appeared, and when Confucius left, a unicorn also appeared."
"Could it be this unicorn?"
Nongyu was also surprised.
Compared to the rumored Four Spirit Ancient Beasts, Qilin was rumored to be alive hundreds of years ago, but... it was just a rumor.
Later generations cannot confirm it.
At least no one has ever seen Qilin again!
"When the Tang Dynasty and Yu Dynasties came, Lin Feng came to visit. Now is not the right time to come here to ask for anything. Lin Xi Lin Xi, I am worried."
"The words of Confucian Confucius on attaining the Tao."
Yun Shu also said the same thing.
"Human!"
Qilin stopped, raised his huge head, his ice-blue eyes flashed, and looked at the one with the most powerful aura.
His strength is not inferior to his own.
Very strong!
The key... the other person is very young and he understands human beings. If human beings are old, their beards and hair will be very white, and the whole body will be filled with the aura of the five declines of heaven and human beings.
But this human being doesn't.
I can't help but... admire it. Human beings have a short lifespan, but their cultivation speed is extremely fast, which is really incomparable to hundreds of alien beasts.
"The Qilin Clan!"
Zhou Qing looked over with a smile and bowed to him.
The sound of spiritual awareness cannot be distinguished as male or female, but it is quite full of three yuan, strong and powerful, and should belong to the Qilin clan in the prime of life.
"The Taoist among mankind!"
"Do you know Zhuang Zhou?"
The Qilin spirit felt it, and the icy blue mysterious light spread all over the body, and the dense snowflakes in the sky did not come close to the body.
The human being in front of me has a familiar aura about him, a Taoist person!
People from Tianzong!
Many years ago, I met a strong Taoist among humans. His name was Zhuang Zhou. His strength was beyond my imagination.
Stronger than the humans in front of me.
"I am the Taoist Tianzong Xuan Qingzi!"
"Zhuang Zhou is a senior Taoist!"
"If you haven't seen it before, you should have gone to the top of Kunlun!"
Zhou Qing nodded.
I have never met Zhuang Zhou, but everything about Zhuang Zhou is so legendary.
It seems that all four ancient beasts have been there, and there are traces of Zhuang Zhou in every secret place in the Xia Dynasty. It is really touching and amazing.
"The top of Kunlun!"
"Zhuang Zhou's strength is extremely strong, it is... unimaginable."
"You are not as good as him."
"He can break through the top of Kunlun, he can definitely break through!"
"Years ago, Zhuang Zhou also came here. He discussed Taoism with me and benefited a lot. Later, I carried him on my back to travel the far north."
"Two years gone!"
"Zhuang Zhou then left and should have gone to the top of Kunlun."
The spiritual sense trembled in the void. The human being in front of him was also from the Taoist Heavenly Sect. Qilin suddenly felt good about him. Without Zhuang Zhou, his own strength wanted to reach the current level.
It will take another fifty to a hundred years.
Before Zhuang Zhou left, he also said that he had nothing to miss among the Xia. He wanted to go to the top of Kunlun, and he would definitely be able to get there.
If even Zhuang Zhou can't get through.
Then..., he can definitely get through.
"The Qilin clan inhabits this vast land?"
Zhuang Zhou!
It is a legend of a generation. Nearly a hundred years ago, hundreds of schools of thought argued and debated, and descendants of hundreds of schools of thought appeared one after another with amazing talents.
Especially Yang Zhu, Meng Kezi, Zhuang Zhou and others left their names in hundreds of schools.
Among them, Zhuang Zhou had the most profound principles and the most powerful strength.
The Phoenix clan mentioned Zhuang Zhou.
The Qinglong clan also mentioned Zhuang Zhou!
The same goes for the White Tiger clan.
The same is true for the unicorn in front of me.
"My clan is indeed here."
"But there are also some tribesmen who are not here. The Fire Qilin tribe is in the South China Sea."
The Qilin didn't shy away from anything. It shook its big head and the tail on its back swung instinctively in response to this topic.
"What are you doing here?"
Immediately, his spiritual sense turned, and his huge ice-blue eyes looked at the other weaker humans, who were only at the level of condensing inner alchemy.
For me, it is too weak.
If it weren't for the human being in front of them, they wouldn't have discovered themselves at all.
You won't even find yourself.
"Come to look for the Xuanwu clan."
"I don't want to meet you!"
Zhou Ling stretched out his hands, revealing the Xuanwu armor in his hands.
"Those old turtles who like to sleep?"
"What are you doing with it?"
Qilin was still curious. It was really boring to stay in this ice and snow for hundreds of years, but it was too dangerous for humans.
Fortunately, there are some fellow beasts here, so I don't seem lonely.
Looking for Xuanwu?
Those sleeping turtles?
Old turtle?
The Xuanwu clan is the most boring. They only know how to sleep. Every time I play with them, they just know how to sleep. They are not as fun as other exotic animals.
But...the other beasts are too weak, and they don't dare to play with me.
It's even more boring.
"Ask it to do something."
Zhou Qing said the courtesy again.
The Qilin in front of me is still very friendly. As expected, as recorded in classics and rumors, the Qilin clan is considered the most highly regarded group of exotic beasts by Confucianism.
Qilin is a benevolent beast!
The male is called Qilin and the female is called Lin. You can still be sure whether the Qilin in front of you is male.
"What needs that old turtle?"
The icy blue mysterious light ripples around the Qilin shook the void, making it even more curious.
Humans ask that old turtle to do something?
What to do?
That old turtle has been sleeping for years, what else can he do?
"Do you know the ancient covenant between the stars?"
Zhou Qing took a breath of relief, thought about it, and then said it.
The unicorn in front of me has a very good temperament, and I don't need to hide it. If possible, it would be better for it to go there. The more exotic beasts and tribes go there, the better.
"The ancient covenant of stars!"
"This matter...is known."
"It was created by your human god Yu, and he made an agreement with hundreds of tribes not to interfere with each other, and to live peacefully on the earth together."
"But it's you humans who have slaughtered many alien beasts and races over the past thousands of years."
"Thousands of years ago, the Qilin clan was also in the land of Zhuxia, and then they came here. The strongest among you humans appeared too quickly."
Qilin Lingjue muttered and looked at the human in front of him again.
The ancient covenant between the stars, you know it yourself.
It can be regarded as a restraint for humans and alien beasts, but...human beings do not abide by the agreement, they will be unlucky, and Haotian will punish them.
"I'm here to invite the Xuanwu clan."
"It is to gather the Four Spirit Ancient Beasts and other tribes of strange beasts to worship at Taiyue together and turn away the ancient covenant of stars."
Zhou Qing said in a deep voice.
The other party knows the ancient covenant of stars.
I don't know what the reaction will be.
No matter what, the Xuanwu clan still wants to go. Even if the Qilin in front of them stops them, they still don't have the ability.
"Transform the ancient covenant of stars!"
"Why do we need to dissolve the ancient covenant of stars?"
"The existence of the ancient covenant of stars is Haotian's protection for hundreds of alien beasts, and it is the same for you."
Qilin was surprised, his pair of big eyes shone brighter, and the icy blue mysterious light on his body swept up and down the void.
Within an area of several miles around, the snowflakes made way for it, and no more snowflakes fell.
"There are more and more humans."
"Sooner or later, the land of Kyushu will not be able to bear it. Sure enough, the existence of the ancient covenant of stars is a big constraint."
"It's also a big danger."
"For you and others, turning into the ancient covenant of stars means... losing the protection of Haotian."
"This... is indeed unfair!"
Zhou Qing did not deny the role of the ancient covenant of stars.
Without the Ancient Covenant of Stars, those powerful ancient beasts would most likely be hunted by strong humans in the future. After all, ancient beasts are full of treasures.
After all, there is a reason why he must dissolve the ancient covenant of stars.
"Zhuang Zhou also mentioned the ancient covenant of stars!"
"Zhuang Zhou once said that it doesn't matter whether the ancient covenant of stars exists or not. Even if the ancient covenant of stars is gone, the biggest enemies of you humans will not be the hundreds of alien beasts."
"But yourselves."
The Qilin's reaction was beyond Zhou Qing's expectations. There was not even much emotional fluctuation, nor was there any violent aura blooming.
"That's the truth."
"Of course..., I have a reason why I must dissolve the ancient covenant of stars!"
Zhou Qing was stunned.
This truth... actually I know it too.
A strong ethnic group will not remain strong forever, as that would violate the laws of heaven. This is how humans have been over time.
After experiencing the most glorious moment, the most tragic moment soon came.
Then it will usher in glory again, and then it will enter darkness again.
The cycle goes on and on, never fails!
Was it the work of hundreds of alien beasts?
no!
However, I need to transform into the ancient covenant of stars now.
It is impossible to reason with the Qinglong clan and the Phoenix clan.
"Your Excellency, you don't mind turning into the ancient covenant of stars?"
Zhou Qing took a step closer and bowed his hands.
"Back then..., I once asked Zhuang Zhou."
"Is it possible for me to reach the top of Kunlun?"
"Zhuang Zhou said that I have a great chance of passing through!"
"But it needs the help of a human being... it should be you, right?"
"But... your current strength is not very strong. Compared with Zhuang Zhou, you are far behind!"
The unicorn was also stepping on the snow on all fours. It was about ten feet away and looked at the human being in front of it with its ice-blue eyes. Zhuang Zhou had said this to himself.
Taking a closer look at the human being in front of him again, his strength is far from Zhuang Zhou's level.
And, of course, even if the human being in front of him is really there, he won't help him, right?
I also want to reach the top of Kunlun, and I will go there sooner or later.
Unfortunately, my current strength is not strong!
"Senior Zhuang Zhou said something like this?"
Zhou Qing was even more shocked.
Regarding the Peak of Kunlun, I only know that there is such a place, but I don’t know the specifics.
As for whether what Zhuang Zhou said was him, I don't know.
Maybe it's someone else.
After all, the Qilin clan has an extremely long lifespan.
"Human!"
"Since you want to find that old turtle, I will take you there. It should still be sleeping now."
"You have its armor in your hand, I know it!"
Involuntarily, this ice blue unicorn seemed even more enthusiastic.
This human being... is Zhuang Zhou's descendant. He is quiet and unified, and his aura is very natural. I like that aura, and it has the same origin as Zhuang Zhou.
As for whether it is this human being.
You will know later.
He still has hundreds of years to live, but humans don't live long. If it weren't for this human being, he might still meet other people.
The spiritual sense felt it, and ice-blue mysterious light was generated under the feet of the four legs. He stood in the air, his huge body swayed, and he scanned a group of humans and said diligently.
"Your Excellency, are you also willing to go to the land of Taiyue and dissolve the ancient covenant of stars?"
Zhou Qing was happy for it.
"Can!"
The unicorn nodded.
"Thank you!"
"It's time to work."
Zhou Qing also bowed and glanced at Xiao Meng and Qian Hong beside him. As he stepped forward, all seven of them appeared on Qilin's broad back.
"Little things!"
"I carried Zhuang Zhou on my back and walked across this land for two years!"
“I have been to the land of extreme daylight and ice!”
"I've been to Jiye too!"
Ice-blue mysterious light surged from the surface of Qilin's body, creating a vacuum of its own, protecting the seven people on its back. When their spirits moved, they turned into a stream of light and disappeared into the distance.
I know the owner of that piece of armor, and he is considered an old friend.
