Chapter 24: First Meeting with the Four Sacred Beasts

After waiting for a long time, Hongyan suddenly said to me again: "Are you really sure that Biling's soul is in the bones?"

"What's wrong?" I asked nervously, "Is there anything wrong with this?"

"Generally speaking, the soul of a dead creature will leave its body, but if a mythical beast with certain abilities does not want its soul to leave the body, it can use its own magic power to imprison its soul in the body. Since the imprisonment is originally one's own body, Soul fusion is very simple and can be done by ordinary mythical beasts, but most mythical beasts are unwilling to leave their souls in their bodies after death. However, once a certain mythical beast really does this, a new life will be created .”

"What life?"

"Undead creatures. Or undead creatures. There are many undead creatures in Essinger. Your skeletons and those black knights are basically undead creatures. But they do not imprison their souls by themselves, but are imprisoned by external forces. In fact, I can be considered an undead creature now.”

"Does this have anything to do with Biling?"

"You just said that Bi Ling's soul has not disappeared. He is in his own bones, so his bones actually have a soul. In other words...!"

"Biling has become an undead creature?" I asked first.

"good."

"Then why can't Biling move around like you?"

Hongyan fell into thinking again and said slowly: "That's why I feel strange, since it already has a soul, why is it not active." Just as I was about to speak, Hongyan suddenly jumped up. "I thought of a way, but it's difficult to implement."

"What can we do?"

"You should try to contact Biling's four apprentices."

"You mean the Four Sacred Beasts? Those are super divine beasts that can push mountains and fill seas with just a wave of their hands. Besides, I don't know where they are! Wait..." I suddenly remembered. "Little Dragon Girl, can you contact your father?"

"Yes, yes, but according to the regulations, he is not allowed to help."

"You don't need any help from him, just ask him to find Qinglong. You are all one family anyway."

Unexpectedly, Xiao Longnu shook her head. "I think you may have misunderstood."

"What did I misunderstand?"

Xiao Longnu turned into a human and stood next to me. "Master, you are not a Taoist alchemist. It's not surprising that you don't understand these things. Although the Qinglong among the four holy beasts looks very similar to our Shenlong family, he is actually not a dragon at all."

"Then what is he?"

The little dragon girl was a little embarrassed and thought for a long time before saying: "Let's put it this way. Qinglong is not a kind of creature at all. He is a separate biological species. He is the only member of the Qinglong race. Because he is the only one in the entire Qinglong clan, so Qinglong is both a race and a name. Just like if you are the only one in the Heavenly Demon Clan, then it doesn't matter if your name is Heavenly Demon. It won't be wrong anyway." After a pause, the little dragon girl continued: "The four holy beasts are actually a single species. , there is no distinction between types. Qinglong and Suzaku are relatively easy to confuse. Many people think Qinglong is a divine dragon and Suzaku is a phoenix. In fact, Qinglong is Qinglong and Suzaku is Suzaku. They are neither dragons nor phoenixes. Everyone thinks Qinglong is Qinglong and Suzaku is Suzaku. It's a dragon mainly because the green dragon and the dragon look alike and are both powerful. The white tiger and the black tiger are less likely to be mistaken. Everyone has seen white tigers, and they are far less powerful than white tigers. So no one would think White tiger is a white tiger. Similarly, although Xuanwu looks like a turtle, no one would think that he is a turtle."

Before I could say anything, Hongyan said first: "So that's what it is. If you don't tell me, I have always thought that Qinglong is your eastern dragon!"

The little dragon girl said with some shame: "I really hope that Qinglong is a member of the Shenlong family, but it's a pity that he is not. Qinglong is much more powerful than us! Our Shenlong mainly assists in Taoist magic, while Qinglong is the real destroyer. In Taoism, the Qinglong has the same status as us, but our Shenlong is equivalent to the civil servants in the court, usually responsible for the wind and rain. The Qinglong is a military general, responsible for subduing and eliminating demons."

I said in surprise: "If someone like Shenlong can be considered a civil servant, then how powerful must a general like Qinglong be?"

"I'm just making an analogy. Our Shenlong can also attack 'sex' Taoism. You've seen this before. Qinglong's attack on 'sex' is much more powerful than ours, and he doesn't need to prepare for his spells at all. It's really The law moves with thought. It is said that the four holy beasts are all similar and never use spells or anything like that. Their abilities are more like instinct and do not require preparation."

I interrupted Xiao Longnu. "Let's not talk about the abilities of the holy beasts. Now I want to know how to find them."

"The four holy beasts live in different places, so it may be difficult to find them. Otherwise, you can ask Mr. Polar Star. He is an old god after all, and he knows much more about this than me."

"This is a good idea." I turned to leave, then thought about it and came back. "Hongyan, you have to help look after the city while I'm away. The defense task is your job. I didn't help you build such a large palace for nothing."

"I understand this." Hongyan grabbed a handful of gold and silver jewelry and let them slowly fall from his paws. "The softest way to take advantage of others is to eat them. I won't let you do anything if I receive so many benefits from you."

"That's good. Leave Biling's bones here for now. You can take care of them."

I left the main hall with Xiao Longnu. After finding Ying Ying, I briefly explained some things and then found Zhen Hong and Ying Quan. "Are you two free? Come with me to find Mr. Polaris."

"I still have something to do, let Zhenhong go with you." Yingquan refused to participate.

"That's okay, it's more convenient for two people." I grabbed Zhenhong's shoulder and activated the teleportation ring. In a flash of blue light, the two of us have appeared in the Immortal Residence in Qilin Fairy Mountain. This is the place where we last met Mr. Polar Star. My teleportation ring can only bring one person besides me. If Yingquan doesn't come, I just teleport Zhenhong over.

Zhenhong is the disciple here, and I am also an old acquaintance of Mr. Polaris. I came here just to inquire about the situation, so I have no defense at all. Unexpectedly, as soon as he appeared, he heard a voice shouting: "Who is it?" Then a very small sharp sound came from behind.
