Chapter 52: From now on, there will be no more Qilin clan
"I promised Nine-Tails to protect the safety of the Snow Fox clan..."
The words he heard in the Buddha's secret realm spanned time, passed through the secret realm, and reverberated in Bai Qing's mind.
It stared blankly at the nine-tailed fox in front of it, its pupils couldn't stop trembling. At that time, it wanted to ask the Buddha who the nine-tailed fox was, but it didn't expect that just a few years ago, it actually saw it with its own eyes.
Met Kyuubi.
It's just that the other party only has one body left...
After thinking for a moment, Bai Qing suddenly discovered that there was a groove on the top of the ice sculpture, between Jiuwei's eyebrows.
Because the color of the ice itself tends to be transparent, and the texture of the ice sculpture is extremely delicate, it did not notice the groove at first.
Bai Qing looked at the groove lines carefully, then took out the Snow Fox Jade Seal he had obtained before, and compared it carefully.
The groove patterns on the ice sculpture completely overlap with the bottom of the jade seal.
Bai Qing's breathing stagnated, as if he realized something. He stretched out his paw and tremblingly printed the jade seal on the brow of the ice sculpture.
Jade light burst out from the jade seal, and a strange suction force was transmitted. Bai Qing's eyes only felt blurred, and his consciousness sank instantly.
……
……
"Hmm..."
The fainting feeling in her head gradually dissipated, and Yun Xi slowly opened her eyes.
"Where is this..."
She looked around drowsily and found that the place she was in was no longer the previous courtyard, but an island.
This island is different from the islands she usually sees, because on the edge of the island, there are not surging waves, but misty clouds.
Yun Xi was lying not far from the edge of the island. She got up, walked to the edge, and looked down.
The sea of clouds was so misty that she couldn't even see the ground.
"Floating Island?"
Yun Xi's eyes were surprised. This was the first time she had seen a floating island. Before that, she had never heard of a floating island in the Hunling World.
She recalled the scene that happened before. She printed the jade seal on the Qilin skeleton, and then she felt a suction force, and then her consciousness fell into a faint. When she woke up again, she was already here. So, could this be the ancient Qilin tribe?
Where to live?
Analysis and guessing have always been something that Yun Xi likes to do. This is not to show his intelligence, but because if he does not make a psychological preparation before taking any action, he will not be able to face unexpected situations.
When the time comes, it’s easy to feel at a loss.
In fact, her preparations have failed many times. For example, the thorn vine before was originally intended to prevent quicksand, but in the end it was used to stop the big skeleton in the coffin.
After making a conjecture in her heart, Yun Xi stood up and walked towards the interior of the floating island.
This is a beautiful island. The sea of clouds is floating outside the island. There are many kinds of exotic flowers and plants on the island, and the colors complement each other. As the depth goes deeper, Yun Xi also sees a huge lake with pure water. The lake water is light blue, which is influenced by the
The impact of underwater algae.
There are many beautiful little carps swimming in the water, and the bubbles they spit out make people want to reach out and pop them.
There is also an island within an island in the center of the lake, and a marble bridge connects the two sides. The stone bridge is particularly majestic. Every once in a while on the guardrail, there will be a mini version of the unicorn stone sculpture, which makes Yun Xi even more certain that this is where it should be.
Ancient ruins of the Qilin tribe.
‘The race has been wiped out, how can we still leave such relics?’
Yun Xi couldn't help but marvel at the methods of these strong men.
After walking across the marble bridge, Yun Xi came to the island within the island. The entire floating island was very large, so even the island within the island seemed very vast to Yun Xi.
There are no houses and buildings on the island, only some rockeries, green plants, and a few pavilions. The roads between the buildings are very wide, so wide that they don’t seem to be prepared for humans.
Standing on the stone bridge, Yun Xi could see the huge unicorn statue standing on top of a rockery in front of her. Even from a certain distance, Yun Xi could still feel the majesty of the statue.
Judging from the craftsmanship, the demon who made that statue should be the same caster as the demon statue she saw before.
After looking at the statue twice, Yun Xi started walking forward along the road. When she was about to pass a pavilion, she suddenly stopped.
Yun Xi raised her head and looked at the pavilion in front of her. In the pavilion, a man wearing a golden-red silk robe was standing quietly.
Probably hearing Yun Xi's footsteps, the man slowly turned around and Yun Xi could see his face clearly.
The man has long blond hair and a handsome face. He looks like he is in middle age, but the vicissitudes and depth in his eyes are very similar to Mr. Wei.
After seeing Yun Xi, the man sighed slightly and said with emotion: "I, Qi Qing, have never seen a human being for tens of thousands of years, and I never expected to see a human woman all these years after my death."
Yun Xi lowered his head and clasped his fists with his hands: "Junior Yun Xi, I have met my senior."
Qi Qing smiled, pointed to the stone bench beside him and said, "Come and sit."
Yun Xi walked forward and waited until Qi Qing sat down first before following him.
Qi Qing sat opposite Yun Xi, with a stone table in between. The former held his chin in his hand and looked at Yun Xi carefully.
Yun Xi was a little frightened by the sight, and couldn't help but twist her body, and then heard Qi Qing say:
"Sure enough, as recorded in the books, you humans look exactly the same as us monsters after we transformed."
Yun Xi blinked, not knowing how to respond.
She had no choice but to turn her head and look around, looking at the picturesque scenery, and asked: "Is this the former residence of the seniors?"
Qi Qing said: "It should be the former residence of the Qilin tribe. I was born in the Yaozun Tower when I was a child, and I didn't come here until my death. For me, my former residence is that small courtyard."
When mentioning the courtyard, Yun Xi's face slightly perked up again and she fell into silence.
Along the way, she also saw the tragic situation in the yard. The Qilin tribe must have suffered some great disaster back then, and according to her speculation, the source of this disaster... was probably related to other divine beast tribes. p>
Qi Qing didn't seem to notice the change in Yun Xi's expression. Instead, he turned his head and looked aside and said, "Did you see that statue?"
Yun Xi followed his line of sight and saw the same Kirin statue she had seen all the way before.
She nodded and said "yes" obediently.
Qi Qing said: "That was the first chief of the Qilin tribe after the natural disaster. This floating island was built by him."
Yun Xi opened his mouth and then understood: "So, this is the hometown of the Qilin tribe in his memory?"
Qi Qing nodded, and then sighed slightly: "It's just a pity that with the strength of the ancestors, Qilin Island can only be presented in a virtual realm. If it weren't for the remaining power of the Demon Lord to maintain it, it might have disappeared long ago.
That’s it.”
"Virtual Realm?"
Yun Xi looked confused.
Qi Qing smiled, stretched out his right hand, put two fingers together, and stretched it towards Yun Xi.
Yun Xi leaned back subconsciously, but after seeing the gentle smile on the other person's face, she still resisted her instinctive impulse and forced herself to stop quietly in place.
Then, Yun Xi saw Qi Qing's two fingers falling on her forehead. She could clearly see his fingers falling, but the touch from his forehead was particularly unclear.
This situation is just like a dream...
She suddenly realized: "This is not the real world?"
Qi Qing took back his hand and said with a faint smile: "This should be equivalent to a dream world. You came to this dream world through my bones, and I only have a trace of consciousness left back then, even my remnant soul.
Not on."
Yun Xi's eyes flickered: "So that's it..."
She was still thinking before that if the ancestors of the Qilin tribe could actually make such a floating island exist for tens of millions of years, then the opponent's strength should be close to that of the gods, right? Since they have such strong strength, why would they still bring it with them?
The Qilin tribe is hiding in this tower with Senior Demon Lord.
Only now did she realize that this place was not a real scene.
But since it is a dream world, now that the dream is progressing and time is advancing, then this dream...
Yun Xi pursed her lips and asked: "Then, in this dream world..."
"It will disappear."
Qi Qing answered quickly and calmly. He said calmly: "The dream will disappear, and I will disappear too."
The calmer he was, the more uncomfortable Yun Xi looked.
She lowered her head to hide the sadness in her eyes.
Qi Qing lowered his eyebrows slightly and said with a smile: "You and I have just met, why should you feel sorry for me?"
Yun Xi was silent for a while, without raising her head, but said in a low voice: "Senior, the matter of life and death... has nothing to do with whether we are friends or not. Life is precious."
She raised her head, looked at Qi Qing seriously and said, "For me, living is always more important than anything else."
Qi Qing's expression paused for a moment. He looked deeply at Yun Xi and suddenly smiled again. This time his smile was more gentle and true than before. His eyes were as gentle as the lakes on the island.
It was drawn.
He said: "If you and I were born in the same era, even if you were a human being, I would still fall in love with you without hesitation."
Yun Xi, who had just been speaking seriously about her opinions, was immediately startled when she heard these words. She quickly waved her hands and said: "Senior, please don't make this joke, my little heart can't bear it." "Hahaha! You kid is quite interesting."
Qi Qing laughed heartily and looked really happy.
After laughing for a moment, Qi Qing calmed down and said gently: "Okay, let's talk about business."
Yun Xi also immediately adjusted her mood. She sat up straight and waited for Qi Qing's next words.
Qi Qing said to her: "Although you are a human being, since you can get here, I should respond to your efforts accordingly. It's just that there are differences between you and me, the inheritance of the Qilin clan
, how much you can get is all up to you."
With that said, Qi Qing stood up, walked to the steps of the pavilion, looked at the huge island in front of him, and slowly stretched out his hand.
The sea of clouds rolled and the world was turbulent. At this moment, Yun Xi saw that the entire floating island began to collapse, and everything turned into a pale golden aura, converging and rotating towards the sky, and then condensed towards Qi Qing's palm.
The surrounding space was getting smaller and smaller. Yun Xi watched the ground gradually shattering under her feet, but she didn't panic at all. Instead, she glanced at Qi Qing a few more times.
Because she knew that the moment Qi Qing decided to give her inheritance, it meant that Qi Qing's even this glimmer of consciousness had reached the end of his life.
"Qilin is an auspicious beast. Before the collapse of the sky, we brought peace to the world, prosperity to the land, and new hope to countless living beings trapped in poverty."
Qi Qing's voice sounded again. He was obviously beside Yun Xi, but his voice seemed so distant and ethereal, as if it was coming from the valley.
"You are not a human being. You cannot absorb the blood of Qilin, so I will inject the Qilin blood left over from the past into the Qilin Jade Seal. If you encounter difficulties in the future, you can use this Jade Seal to help you. As for you, I will use this island
The remnant and the last power of my life will create auspicious power for you. Although this power is not directly more powerful than the Kirin bloodline, it will not affect your own bloodline."
"This is a very painful process. If you fail, you will risk your soul being destroyed. You should be prepared."
Yun Xi took a deep breath and said with a serious face: "Senior, please rest assured!"
"Okay."
When the last word fell, the entire floating island was completely shattered. The sea of clouds around it was churning and turbulent. Countless golden lights condensed into clouds and condensed into a golden bead falling on Qi Qing's palm.
Qi Qing turned to look at Yun Xi, raised the golden bead in his hand, and pressed it gently towards Yun Xi's eyebrows.
Boom——
As if an ancient clock was ringing in her brain, Yun Xi felt that the severe pain from this moment was almost completely swallowing up her consciousness!
She was trembling all over, clenching her fists tightly and biting her gums. She recovered from the severe pain in a very short period of time. She widened her eyes and watched Qi Qing's palm gradually move toward her eyebrows.
Close.
The closer his palm was to her eyebrows, the more the golden bead entered her mind.
Qi Qing's advancement was very slow. It was just a bead less than the size of a quail egg, but it took him more than ten minutes to push it into Yun Xi's mind.
And Yun Xi also insisted on enduring the pain during these ten minutes.
Boom!!!
The moment the golden beads completely entered her mind, Yun Xi felt her whole body tremble, and her body gradually became illusive. She could feel that she was leaving this dream.
She raised her head suddenly and looked at Qi Qing in front of her.
Qi Qing was looking at her with a smile, his aged and deep eyes revealing tender and doting emotions.
Only then did Yun Xi realize that Qi Qing was not joking just now.
Looking at Yun Xi's moist, clear and innocent eyes, Qi Qing's hand on her eyebrows moved upward and gently rubbed her head.
He said calmly: "After today, there will be no more Qilin clan in this world. You bear the inheritance of our Qilin clan. Even if your bloodline is not inherited, you are still regarded as a disciple of my Qilin clan. I am looking forward to you taking the Qilin clan with you."
The moment when our inheritance reaches the top of the world.”
"I can feel the aura of the Snow Fox Clan on your body. I can't blame them for what happened back then. Don't hold grudges..."
The sound gradually turned from ethereal to misty, and finally turned into silence.
Yun Xi watched Qi Qing's body gradually turn into aura, slowly floating towards the sky.
She raised her head and looked at these glimmers of light, her consciousness gradually dissipated...
