Chapter 0500 Iron Kirin
Last night, only Xiaohao and Flea were not affected by the transformation technique in the camp, which means that at least one of them has a special physique. Mu Xingqiu believes that it is Qilin.
Pangshan Iron Qilin is a spiritual beast among spiritual beasts. It is said that they have many special abilities, but they disappeared because of the long peace. However, under certain circumstances, these special abilities may reappear. Flea suddenly learned to fly not long ago.
As for Xiaohao, she also has her own special features. She once had an unformed inner elixir hidden in her brain, which was not discovered by Luanjingshan for many years. However, most of her "special" features come from the Dragon Demon. Since the Dragon Demon is helpless against the transformation technique, Xiaohao probably won't be able to resist it.
Mu Xingqiu circled Flea twice, and he believed in his judgment more and more, and couldn't help but smile.
Xiaohao followed him and turned around twice, then said: "The key to reversing the transformation is the flea. Are you going to eat it? That won't work. Zuo Liuying can't let you."
Mu Xingqiu smiled and shook his head, "Of course I won't eat it. The flea still has its abilities that haven't been used yet." Mu Xingqiu turned to the other Taoists and said loudly: "Transformation is not a big problem. Look at me. There has been no change for so long. Please rest assured, fellow Taoists, with the Iron Kirin, I will soon find a way to reverse it."
"That's great, I don't have to worry." Xin Youtao covered his chest with a relieved expression.
The Taoists also nodded to express their relief. Most of them didn't seem to care much. They were already in danger of becoming a demon, and transformation was not comparable to that. They were shocked at first, but they didn't care so much after thinking it over. Yuan Wei, who was furious just now, was particularly regretful. He kept his head down and recited the scriptures to calm down.
"Please recall the records about spirit beasts you have read and write a copy for me." Mu Xingqiu left with the flea, and Xiaohao and Baldy followed closely behind.
Mu Xingqiu's tent was relatively small, so he asked Xin Youtao to help make the inside of the tent bigger so that the flea could come in.
The flea didn't like living in the tent, it preferred to sleep in the snow, but since it was invited, it didn't object.
The records of spirit beasts written by Taoist priests were delivered one after another, and they all wrote their names at the end. Mu Xingqiu read them carefully page by page, and soon two piles of them piled up around him.
Xiaohao and Baldy surrounded the flea, inducing it to show more skills. In order not to disturb Mu Xingqiu, they spoke in a very soft voice, which gradually became louder, and neither of them noticed.
"It would be great if the flea could speak, so we could chat together." This is Xiaohao's favorite ability.
"I hope the flea can grow a pair of wings, bigger, better looking and more majestic than Lan Binghu's. With one flap of its wings, it can kill thousands of demon soldiers. I will stay on its head like a general." The bald man grinned.
"Fleas can already fly, what do they need wings for? I think its teeth are not long enough and sharp enough, they should be bigger, like a dragon."
"Ha, I also want you to stand on the flea's wings. Since you say it's useless, you have no chance." The bald man said angrily.
"Then I won't let the flea talk to you either."
...
The two argued fiercely, and the flea listened quietly. He tried to walk to Mu Xingqiu several times, but was stopped.
The number of Taoist priests in and out of the tent gradually decreased, and the number of papers around Mu Xingqiu finally stopped increasing. He was still reading seriously. So far, he has not seen any particularly valuable records. He only understood one thing, that the history of spiritual beasts is very long and existed long before the appearance of Taoist priests.
Taoist spiritual beasts and exotic beasts like Xuanwu have the same origin. They were ordinary animals in ancient times. Due to various accidental reasons, they had supernatural powers. They were passed down from generation to generation, and their supernatural powers were strengthened, making them no longer ordinary. The demons like tall animals, so exotic beasts like Xuanwu are popular. Taoists like beautiful animals, and spiritual beasts like Qilin and Phoenix gradually increase.
Some exotic beasts and spiritual beasts are passed down from generation to generation through reproduction, but their lifespan is short, usually only two or three hundred years. Some never reproduce, or the offspring they reproduce do not have supernatural powers, but their lifespan is extremely long. It is said that the only three Xuanwu in the world have lived from the demon era to the present. They are getting bigger year by year, but they have never given birth.
Mu Xingqiu glanced at Xiaohao. The Xuanwu named Youliao was still in her hand, not struggling or resisting, shrinking in the tortoise shell and motionless. He was glad that he didn't kill You Liao. It was just used like the previous Mie Shi, and it had no malicious intent. Unfortunately, You Liao's shell and a lot of mucus were destroyed. It was unknown how many years it would take for it to grow again.
Pangshan Iron Kirin was the ancestor of Kirin. Most of their descendants lost their original characteristics and became Kirin with their own characteristics, such as the Golden Horned Kirin of Yashan, the Silver Horned Kirin of the Princess of Xijie Kingdom, and even the Hairy Kirin raised by ordinary humans. It was called Kirin but looked more like a deer.
Therefore, the flea was extremely precious. It was the last generation of purebred Iron Kirin. There was no other of its kind except its parents. It could only mate with other kinds of Kirin in the future, and the chance of reproducing an Iron Kirin was very slim.
There was a piece of paper that recorded the various supernatural powers of the Iron Kylin in its early years. They once participated in the battle against demons with Taoist priests. Since the Taoist priests did not dare to get too close to the demon warriors, the Iron Kylin became one of the spiritual beasts that charged forward. At that time, they were the most ferocious animals in the world. They stood on all fours and could produce powerful five-element spells within a radius of several miles. The scales on their bodies were enough to resist the blow of splitting a mountain...
The Iron Kirin's abilities are not only innate, but also enhanced by the Taoists' multiple spells. When the demons were locked up in the void, the Iron Kirin no longer needed to charge on the battlefield, and there were no spells to enhance their abilities. After several generations, they became ordinary spirit beasts, and the number of purebreds became fewer and fewer, and finally only the three of Pang Shan were left.
Mu Xingqiu couldn't help wondering how many abilities the fleas inherited from their ancestors, whether they could be stimulated like the ability to fly, and how to stimulate them? Questions came one after another, and none of them were mentioned in the records sent by the Taoists.
Zuo Liuying might know that studying demon species and loving spirit beasts were the two most well-known characteristics of Pang Shan's Forbidden Secret Department, but he was not there, and his departure was very abrupt. No wonder Gan Zhiquan suspected that he left on purpose so that You Liao would have the opportunity to kill all the demon-invading Taoists.
Xin Youtao and Xiao Qingtao walked in, and Mu Xingqiu put down the paper in his hand and looked at the two.
"There are no outsiders here, tell us the truth." Xin Youtao said. Xiao Qingtao looked confused and reluctant, as if she didn't want to participate in this questioning.
"What truth?" Mu Xingqiu asked.
Xin Youtao turned around and glanced at Xiaohao and Flea who were still arguing, and said in a low voice: "You said that the key to reversing the transformation into a demon lies in Flea. In fact, you are just comforting everyone, right? Tell me the truth, I can bear it, and Xiao Qingtao can too."
Mu Xingqiu smiled and pointed to the piles of papers beside him, "After reading these records, I believe more in my judgment just now. The Iron Kirin is a very special spiritual beast."
"It was very special in the past." Xin Youtao emphasized the word "in the past". "That was more than 100,000 years ago. The current Iron Kirin is not much better than other Kirins."
"Fleas can fly without wings. How many spiritual beasts can do that?"
"But its father lost a leg in the battle of Duanliu City a few years ago, which means...it means that the Iron Kirin is no longer as good as before, and the one or two abilities of the flea are just a flash in the pan."
Xin Youtao's words Qi seemed a little impatient, and Mu Xingqiu felt strange about it. "There is no normal way to reverse the transformation into a demon. After all, fleas provide a possible direction. Don't you think I shouldn't take it too seriously?"
"Sorry, I'm a little..." Xin Youtao smiled embarrassedly, "I mean, didn't the Taoist sect make a plan for you?"
"Well, they prepared a lot of medicine for me, and I'm trying them one by one."
"I mean you should carry out the drug testing plan first, and then study fleas."
Mu Xingqiu looked at Xiao Qingtao, who blushed all of a sudden and whispered, "Brother Xiaoqiu has his own ideas, and I support him no matter what he does."
Mu Xingqiu stood up, "I will wait until the transformation reaction is more obvious to test the medicine. Now is not the time. Don't worry, drug testing is still my priority plan."
Xin Youtao chuckled twice.
"Stay here and help me watch the fleas. Everyone seems to be a little too interested in it. I want to go out for a walk." Mu Xingqiu said.
"Don't worry, no one can get close to the fleas except us."
Mu Xingqiu walked out, not caring about his good friend's impatience. Xin Youtao cared too much about Xiao Qingtao, and sometimes he would express it in an exaggerated way.
Mu Xingqiu walked into the camp and asked the Taoists who Gan Zhiwei was. A Taoist asked Mu Xingqiu to wait and he would go find him.
Gan Zhiwei came. From the name, we knew that he was the brother of Hongshan Taoist Gan Zhiquan. Mu Xingqiu recognized that this was the young Taoist who entered the interior of Youliao last night and was determined to die.
The two brothers looked different. Gan Zhiquan had a square face, while Gan Zhiwei had a slightly pointed face. After landing, he nodded to Mu Xingqiu. Even as a conversation between Taoists, his voice was a little cold, "You came to me."
"Well, you seem to know a lot about Tie Qilin." Mu Xingqiu saw the detailed records of Tie Qilin's early years in the paper sent by Gan Zhiwei.
"I am a student of the Forbidden Secrets Department, and I have read a little more books." Gan Zhiwei's voice was still cold. Mu Xingqiu saved his life, but he not only did not appreciate it, but also seemed to be upset about it.
"I hope you can help me."
Gan Zhiwei pointed to a nearby tent and walked in. There was no one else inside. Gan Zhiwei summoned a candle to prevent the sound from being exposed, and then turned to Mu Xingqiu who followed in and said: "You ruined my and my brother's plan. I should die in You Liao's stomach and kill it too. In this way, everyone will believe that my brother is impartial and that he really wants to go to Wangshan to fight the demons. But you insisted on saving me. Now everyone thinks this is a prearranged performance, and the fighting spirit that was just aroused has disappeared again."
This is another demon-invading Taoist who just wants to die a worthy death. Mu Xingqiu looked at him, thought for a while and said: "You and your brother still have a chance. I want to capture Lan Binghu alive. Are you willing to be the pioneer?"
