Chapter 635: Blood Clan Inheritance
"No!"
"You talk nonsense!"
"I'm not a vampire......"
Ajelina suddenly burst out and screamed at Mikhail, her beautiful little face flushed, her expression even excited, and tears swirled in her blue eyes.
Mikhail looked at her steadily, as if anticipating Ajelina's excitement, his gaze was soft, but his expression was extremely determined.
Xiao Fan sighed slightly, hugged the excited Ajelina in his arms, gently patted her back, and comforted her softly: "Ajelina, don't be excited, listen to Mr. Earl." ”
"No, no, Xiao Fan, you must believe me, I'm not a vampire, I'm not a ......"
Ajelina suddenly burst into tears and threw herself on Xiao Fan's shoulder, tears pouring out.
"Ajelina, you're a princess. You're my princess......"
Xiao Fan stuck to her ear and gently kissed her soft earlobe, unable to help comforting her.
Mikhail said sternly: "Your Royal Highness Princess, the blood inheritance is different from the vampire you imagined, completely different. ”
"A vampire is a vampire, what's the difference?"
Ajelina raised her head from Xiao Fan's arms and shouted at Mikhail with teary eyes.
Xiao Fan and Mikhail glanced at each other, and they both secretly breathed a sigh of relief. As long as Ajelina is willing to ask, there will be a play. The reason why Princess Simien never told Ajelina this secret was because she was afraid that she would not be able to accept it. According to the princess's original plan, she hoped to stay with Ajelina for a while longer, and the mother and daughter would be closer to each other. Be more tacit, and then find a suitable opportunity. Quietly let Ajelina know the truth and minimize the psychological impact.
Really any girl. I'm afraid it's hard to accept the fact that I'm a "vampire".
"Your Highness Princess, have you felt different so far? Do you need to suck blood to survive? ”
Mikhail then asked, his tone becoming more and more stern.
This sentence immediately had an immediate effect, and Ajelina immediately shouted: "No, no, I don't need to suck blood, I have never sucked blood...... I'm not a vampire......"
"Her Royal Highness the Princess, a pure descendant of the blood clan, does need blood to survive. But we don't have to be like what is depicted in movies and television. Sucking the blood of the living, that's what only the inferior blood clan does. They are not pure blood descendants, but later infected, and in fact they are just our servants. They are definitely not representative of pure blood. For a descendant of pure blood like us, it is enough to absorb some blood nutrients from normal food. We don't need to suck blood specifically to stay alive...... And we're not afraid of the sun. ”
Mikhail explained slowly, his tone was very sincere, and the afterglow of his eyes glanced at Xiao Fan from time to time. Obviously. His explanation was not only for Ajelina, but also for Xiao Fan.
In terms of Xiao Fan's status in the inheritance of Eastern magic, he should disdain to be in the company of vampires.
"You're a liar!"
Ajelina's eyes widened with disbelief.
"If that's the case. So what's the difference between us and ordinary people? ”
Mikhail couldn't help but laugh, and from these words, Ajelina had actually unconsciously admitted her blood identity. Because she said "we".
"There's a big difference."
Mikhail said with a smile.
"Because we live a long life. Your Royal Highness Princess, these questions. It's not something that can be explained in a few words, so let's go into the house. We can talk about it. ”
"Okay."
This time, it was Xiao Fan who took the initiative to agree, took Ajelina's hand, and entered Princess Simion's study.
Ajelina bit her lip, lowered her head, and silently followed Xiao Fan into the room.
Saxon followed in and prepared tea for Xiao Fan and Ajelina.
"Mr. Saxon, you too...... Is it also a Bloodliner? ”
Ajelina asked suddenly, hesitated for a moment, and finally didn't use the title "vampire". Misled by a large amount of literature, "vampire" always seemed to be a derogatory term for a beautiful girl like Ajelina.
Saxon was stunned for a moment, looked at Mikhail, and then said respectfully: "Your Royal Highness Princess, yes, I am also a blood clansman. I have been in the service of the Simien family for a long time. It's been hundreds of years...... Her Royal Highness the Princess, Mr. Earl is right, pure blood people, and the vampires in the movie, are completely different. Our bloodline is very ancient. Because genes are different, we all live long. ”
"Long life? Shouldn't it be immortality? ”
Ajelina asked immediately.
Mikhail said: "Your Royal Highness, true immortality does not exist. The way of heaven and machine is to pay attention to the cycle of reincarnation and natural balance. Although our bloodline inheritance is different and lives much longer than ordinary people, it is by no means immortal. When the time comes, we will all grow old and die the same. Of course, if a large amount of life essence is replenished, our lifespan can be further extended. However, immortality is really just a dream. Don't say that our blood race can't do it, there are many other high-level races in the universe, and none of them can do it. This is simply acting against the sky. ”
Mikhail's words no longer sounded like they were coming from the mouth of a blood count, but more like an oriental cultivator talking about the Tao.
"Mr. Xiao - oh no, I should call you Xiao Zhenren - Xiao Zhenren, in ancient times, there were many sects of cultivation. What everyone pursues is also the way to immortality. But in fact, it only effectively prolongs life, and if you want to live forever, unless you can fly to the immortal realm and become an immortal. ”
Xiao Fan smiled slightly and said, "Actually, according to Buddhist scriptures, only a Buddha can live forever. God has no such ability. The gods only live longer than ordinary people, and they will eventually grow old and die, and the so-called 'five decays of heaven and man' refers to the situation when the gods are about to die. ”
Mikhail let out a long sigh and said, "Actually, even if it is a Buddha, I am afraid that he may not be able to truly live forever. Otherwise, Buddhism would not have the saying that there is a Buddha in the past, a Buddha in the present, and a Buddha in the future. Even the Buddha needed to be reincarnated to pursue the path of immortality, which shows how difficult it is to live forever. ”
This Earl of the Blood Clan is extremely knowledgeable, not only has a lot of research on the inheritance of Eastern Taoism, but also has a lot of knowledge of Buddhist classics.
Xiao Fan smiled and said, "Mr. Earl, you should be content. After all, your blood clan inheritance is inherently much longer than the lifespan of ordinary people. And if we human beings want to reach your natural lifespan, we don't know how much effort we have to spend and how difficult our cultivation will have to go through before we can have a glimmer of hope. ”
In the Sumeru space of the "Qiankun Ding", Xiao Fan once learned a lot of secrets of the way of cultivating the truth from the Qingyang Patriarch. I know that among all cultivators, the natural lifespan of human beings is the shortest, and even if they cultivate to the Jindan stage, it is only a few hundred years of lifespan. If you can't go further, when the time comes, you will also fall and die, turn into a wisp of green smoke, and disappear into the world.
And some cultivators of other races have a much longer lifespan than humans, and it is common to have thousands of years or tens of thousands of years, and there are even heaven and earth spirit beasts that have a natural lifespan of tens of thousands of years.
Relatively speaking, the inheritance of the blood clan is not very remarkable in this aspect. Xiao Fan is not so clear about how long a pure blood clan like Count Mikhail can live, but it is estimated that it will not be too rebellious, and it should be around a thousand years.
"Xiao Zhenren, there are pros and cons in everything, that's for sure. Although your life span is relatively short, your body is the most potential, and can accept almost any transformation. Most of the exercises, you can cultivate. And in terms of intelligence and understanding, pure human beings are also extremely good. The inheritance of your Taoism has always paid attention to epiphany, and Buddhism also has such a saying. This is a direct manifestation of the extraordinary understanding of pure human beings. Like us Bloodline, although the natural lifespan is a little longer than that of you humans, the potential for physical transformation is much smaller. Because of this, there are many exercises that we can't practice at all, and even if we do practice reluctantly, the results are extremely poor. ”
Speaking of this, Mikhail looked at Xiao Fan with blazing eyes, and a look of envy flashed on his face.
"Xiao Zhenren, you are not yet thirty years old now, and your mana is already so condensed, and your combat power is amazing. That's enough to tell. ”
Xiao Fan smiled faintly and said, "Mr. Earl, as far as I know, there are very few human beings who are suitable for cultivation after all. ”
A person with such a talented and outstanding genius as Xiao Zhenren is even more unique. Using Xiao Zhenren as an example to illustrate is too niche and not convincing.
"It's a very small minority. However, every human cultivator who embarks on the path of immortality, as long as he has achieved something, is not only the best among the monks of the same level. This is fundamentally different from other races that rely on the accumulation of time and slowly cultivate some mana. One is proactive, the other is step-by-step, completely different. ”
Count Mikhail said very seriously.
It can be seen that he actually has a lot of respect for human cultivators.
"Moreover, in terms of population base, the number of pure blood descendants and pure humans is too far apart."
Xiao Fan glanced at him and said slowly: "Mr. Earl, it's just in this space that this is the case. In other spaces, it's hard to say which creature has the absolute numerical advantage. ”
Count Mikhail's face couldn't help but change slightly, as if Xiao Fan's words touched on a certain point, which made him feel a little uncomfortable. (To be continued......)
