Chapter 689: Kirin Heart
There are no demons in the world. The so-called demons are all forced out by the cruel and ruthless side of human nature.
The cause that was once sown with evil will eventually receive evil results. The demon invasion encountered by the Lost Continent is not a disaster brought by human beings themselves. If there is an effect, there must be a cause, and if there is a cause, there must be an effect, right and wrong, and retribution is not good, this is an eternal axiom. In silence, Ye Tianxie thought back to his past self. Why didn't he deeply resent this world because of everything he encountered, hating and repelling everyone, and wanting revenge time and time again...
"Some things, there is no way to distinguish between right and wrong. Humans have their reasons, and you demons have their reasons. Of course, there is nothing wrong with humans fighting against demons in order to protect their homeland, and demons are in order to survive and revenge... It seems that there is nothing wrong with it." There’s nothing wrong with it, everything is man’s own fault. However, the expulsion of dark magic should have happened at least ten thousand years ago, right? Everyone at that time had already died, and there shouldn’t be any demons at that time... ...Oh, except for the demon god you mentioned, then..."
"I know what you want to say." Mrs. Blacksmith interrupted him aloud: "Perhaps you think that since the wrong people and the expelled people are all dead, there is no reason for us to fight with human beings so endlessly... But From the time when the first person who practiced dark magic turned into a demon under the coercion of human beings, humans and demons have become natural enemies, and the hostility between humans and demons has never needed a reason, only victory or defeat."
"In that case, why did you marry a human being?" Ye Tianxie asked.
"Because, even if it is a demon, no one likes to fight and kill. Here, I already have everything that a demon dreams of. After so many years, my heart has become calm, and I don't want to be a 'devil' anymore." '. What I said to you does not mean that I am still hostile to human beings. Those words, I was speaking to you as a demon in the past, but now I... am a person, an ordinary Human, a person without any power, let alone dark power."
No dark powers? Without any power?
"That's why your body recovered?" Ye Tianxie asked in surprise as he glanced across her whole body.
"That's right. I used to be horribly eroded by the power of darkness. I was able to become one of the nine great demon generals who were second only to the demon gods. What I once had was extremely strong power of darkness... and the more the power of darkness The stronger it is, the more it bites back at the body. If you have seen any of our Nine Demon Kings, you will know how terrifying the body will become when the dark power reaches that level."
It's not that Ye Tianxie has never seen a demon king... Back then, in the underground of the Phantom Beast Clan ruins, the Dark Ghost King was only 100% like a human, and 90% more like a ghost. Walking on the street, it was enough to scare the timid passers-by. Pee your pants.
Even if the Demon King is like this, one can imagine how scary the appearance of the Demon God with the strongest dark power, Li Xiao, would be... Wouldn't it be enough to have nightmares for months?
"I came here through the cracks in space, and all the dark powers disappeared. After that, I was in a coma for decades... During these decades, the breath of life released by my original body from various flowers and plants around me was repeated year after year. After years of nurturing, I gradually recovered and became a 'human'... If the devil bat hadn't appeared, I might have forgotten that I was once a demon and the existence of the demon race."
In the depths of Mrs. Blacksmith's eyes, deep worry flashed. This was a world that was isolated from the world and would not be visited by people she didn't want to see, but unexpectedly, even in such a world, she still couldn't calm down.
"After all, you were discovered by the demons?" Ye Tianxie asked. That demonic bat undoubtedly belongs to the demon clan. It appeared in Xinshou Village and took away the child of the Qingming ghost king, obviously because it discovered her existence, so... However, there seems to be too much in it that makes people puzzled Why did the bat catch her son instead of herself? What is the purpose of arresting her son? coercion? Nothing like it. discipline? It's not like... What's even more puzzling is how did that bat come to Xinshou Village?
There are three teleportation rolls in the Novice Village... one in the hands of the mysterious merchant No. 1, and he used up one. Could it be that the bat has a teleportation scroll in the Novice Village?
"No, they didn't find me. They all thought I was dead, and my appearance was already that of a human being. It was completely different from before, and all the dark forces had disappeared. Even if they stood in front of me, they would not He will know who I am, and it was not me, but my son Xiao Ming who brought the devil bat here." Mrs. Blacksmith... he was the former Qingming Ghost King and said in a low voice.
"Xiao Ming?" Ye Tianxie was surprised for a while. Is there something extraordinary about this little child?
The blacksmith's wife did not hide him at all, and explained in a slow voice: "Although my dark power has disappeared and my body has become a human body, my essence is still a demon. The environment and loss of our demon continent The environment of the mainland is completely different. It is full of desolation, poison, cursed smoke, and countless disasters that may erupt at any time. The body that grows up in this environment is destined to be different from human beings. Therefore, Now, although I have the appearance of a human, I am not a real human after all... Although I can combine with a human, the child I give birth to is destined to be stillborn."
Ye Tianxie: "!?"
"I knew this fact from the first day my husband and I were together. I longed to have a child, so I successfully conceived and gave birth, because there was just one thing in me that could hold the child alive and let the child live. He will not be something that dies at birth. That thing, when my child was still in my body, was sealed in my body by me, and during the long-term assimilation and growth of the child, it became his life."
A sense of confusion 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, and what she said later made him feel more like listening to a mystery. Strange story that can't be more mysterious.
It's all some kind of mess.
"Do you mean to say that it was the thing you sealed in your son's body that attracted that devil bat to come here?" Ye Tianxie said, this may be the only explanation.
Mrs. Blacksmith nodded indifferently: "Yes, the devil bat followed its breath and tracked it here."
"But..." Ye Tianxie frowned, thinking of something puzzling: "If the devil bat came for the things in Xiao Ming's body, why did it take Xiao Ming for so long without killing him?" Take out the things in his body? Instead, seal it in the dark soul orb... When I met the devil bat, several months had passed since it captured your child."
"I said that that thing has merged with my child's life... If it kills my child, then that thing will also 'die' and lose all its power. Want to get it out of my son's body There is only one way to take it off... To save his life, use special power to peel off its power from my son's body bit by bit. This will be a difficult and long process. Because, that thing The power is too strong..."
"So... what is that thing that protects your son's life?" Ye Tianxie finally couldn't help asking. The thing that could make that devil bat chase him to Novice Village would definitely not be simple.
The blacksmith's wife still didn't hide anything, and said the name without any taboo: "Heart of Kirin."
Ye Tianxie: "!!"
Kirin Heart! ?
Qinglong, Suzaku, White Tiger, Xuanwu, and Qilin are the five guardian holy beasts of the Lost Continent, and the head of these five holy beasts...is Qilin.
The Ring of the Azure Dragon, the Feather of the Suzaku, the Ring of the White Tiger, the Step of the Black Tortoise, and the Heart of the Qilin... These five weapons of the Mystic God inherited the power of the five holy beasts. Similarly, the Heart of the Qilin is the most powerful.
The Qingming ghost king of the demon clan, the wife of Old Wang, the blacksmith of Xinshou Village No. 60001, actually possesses the strongest unicorn heart among the five artifacts in his hand!
Ye Tianxie's moving expression was captured by the blacksmith's wife, and she said calmly: "It seems that you really know what a unicorn heart is, so...do you want it?"
"Think!" Ye Tianxie replied without thinking. Who wouldn't want to have the ultimate weapon that carried the power of the original unicorn? He can't afford to be hypocritical and cover up.
"Then, I'll give it to you." Mrs. Blacksmith said, more simply than he answered. The voice was flat and calm, as if promising to give away a Chinese cabbage that was everywhere.
Ye Tianxie became excited instantly... This is too straightforward! So refreshing!
Before Ye Tianxie suppressed his excitement, the blacksmith's wife continued to speak: "However, it will take time."
Ye Tianxie was taken aback for a moment, but immediately responded, the unicorn heart is now tied to Xiao Ming's life, to remove the unicorn heart, it will take a relatively long process, not only will it take time, but it will also take time It must not be short, then...
"Since your son's life is assimilated with the Qilin's heart, if the Qilin's heart leaves his body, will his life also disappear." Ye Tianxie said in a deep voice.
The blacksmith's wife shook her head and said: "For seven years, under the power of the Qilin Heart, Xiao Ming's body is already a life body without any defects or abnormalities. Normal people are no different."
"Then I'm relieved... But how long will this time be?"
The blacksmith's wife glanced at him, still shaking her 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 a year, it won't Less than three months. If I can still find you at that time, I will definitely give you the Qilin Heart as a reward for you. At the same time...it is not a precious weapon for me, but A source of disaster that will bring disaster."
Minimum three months, maximum one year?
Ye Tianxie's heart twitched... Could it be that he has to wait here for three months to a year?
If he didn't wait, it would be almost impossible for him to have the chance to return... That's the heart of the unicorn!
If you wait... for such a long time, who can afford it? Who is willing to spend so much time in a small novice village.
[PS: In the last chapter, I didn't know that my brain was still convulsed, and I beat the Qingming ghost king into a Raksha ghost king, um. It's fixed. Does anyone still remember the name Rakshasa Ghost King? For those who don’t remember, flip through the plot of Tianhun Cemetery. 】
[In addition, I suddenly discovered today that the keyboard under my hand has been used for three full years! From Asura to Evil Dragon, there are more than five million words in total, and Du Nima used this keyboard to code! In the past, I also used this external connection when I was using a notebook to code, and the desktop was also directly plugged into this. Only occasionally when I was writing in the car, I would use the keyboard of the notebook itself... That is to say, the more than five million words are basically all from this The keyboard, plus the usual writing of official documents, chatting on QQ... and the fierce trampling of various games... It's been three years, and it hasn't broken! None of the keys are broken, and they are comfortable to press! Even the printing on the keycaps is not blurred!
This shows what?
This shows that you really get what you pay for! Cheap is not good, good is not cheap! The keyboard bought at a high price is not the same. I have used it for three years and pressed it tens of thousands of times! So, everyone must not try to buy things cheap in the future, high prices represent high quality.
Hmm... I bought this keyboard for 19 oceans, a high-end USB interface keyboard. 】
