Chapter 525: Trace back to the self
I could even feel his gaze on me, but I just didn't want to get up from the grass and confess, because I thought I was hiding from a good angle, and I shouldn't be able to see it from a normal perspective.
Qilin Qi was not in a hurry, and smiled and chanted with an old and kind face: "Hehe, if you come out to meet honestly, I will know you as a guest; If you continue to fall on the ground, then ...... I can only see you as an enemy! β
"Don't, don't! I'm a visitor! β
I quickly got up and raised my hands in a gesture of surrender, and carefully walked out of the grass and stood in front of him without saying a word.
When I got close to his head, I slowly generated a blue name for the NPC, and it was indeed the person I was looking for on this tripββββ [Gugang Kirin].
But when I got closer, I also found other problems, that is, the appearance of this old man, although I knew that he was a member of the ghost clan, but the sharp mouth and sharp nails were very incompatible with the image of the respected twilight old man, and other ghost NPCs had a horn or something at most, and it was the first time I had seen such a fierce appearance.
Qilin Qi looked up and down, then turned back and continued to look at the contents of his pot, and his mouth did not forget to ask: "It's a guest of the Terrans...... it's been a long time since no Terrans have been here." β
"What do you mean...... Has anyone else visited you before me? β
"Yes, there have been a few powerful people who have defeated the dragons all the way to this place, but all of them have set a threshold for themselves in search of supreme power; Some people are willing to talk to me, and say goodbye after the chat is opened; Some people think that defeating me is a proof of strength, and in the end, they can only be buried here and become that floating flotsam all over the ground. β
The old man did not shy away from speaking, he seemed to know my intentions, but he did not have the slightest defense against me, like an invincible general talking to a child, he knew very well that I did not pose any threat to him.
"Are all the people who challenged you dead?"
"It's dead, the little friends here eat all year round, and it's not bad to open the stove occasionally." The unicorn looked up at me as he stirred the contents of the pot, grinning and fangs that made my scalp tingle.
When he said this, I was even more discouraged by the challenge that I had assumed at first, I didn't want to be pinched to death by this old fellow and then cooked and fed to the birds.
After stopping the wooden stick in his hand, it was clear that what was cooking in the pot was a dragon head.
"Do you love hunting in the mountains?" I asked, confused.
Qilin shook his head, and then doted on a few birds in his hand: "I don't love it, it's a foul-smelling place below, and I will get dirty when I go to it, and my little friends don't want to be close to me." β
"But this dragon looks young, so he shouldn't come to challenge you, right?"
He understood what I meant, sighed and smiled: "As the saying goes, newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, but those old dragons will not come to disturb the purity here; It's just those frivolous newborn dragons who are arrogant and always love to trespass here, either hurting flowers and plants or scaring birds and spirit fish, how can I let him? β
The old man was very approachable in his speech and demeanor, and did not have the violent temper of those evil spirits, which completely subverted my impression of him, and also made me more or less relieved.
"Then you are stationed in your own place all year round, just to protect a piece of the realm here?"
"It can only be said to be one of them," the unicorn waved his hand, bent down to pour the soup in the pot aside, and the palm of his hand warmed the boiled hot faucet, and then the little bird chirped and landed beside the pot to peck at the food; In addition, he did not forget to reach out and twist out a piece of meat, and kneaded it into small lumps of meat between his fingers as he walked towards the lake: "The bigger reason is that I am tired of the distractions, and it happens that this place is so popular that I will clear the dragons and split the mountains, and drive those foul-smelling dragons below." β
I just listened to him with a reluctant voice, gasping and thinking about the cliff I had just stepped over and the cliff I flew up, where I couldn't fly, he actually chopped it with one hand.
When I arrived at the lake, there were many colorful and beautiful fish, and I didn't see any of them when I was at the water's edge just now.
"You've been waiting for a long time, haven't you? There are~" Qilin Qi slowly sprinkled the kneaded meat ball in his hand on the surface of the water, and the colorful fish competing for food churned on the water surface with dazzling brilliance, and formed a fanning rainbow with the clear water splash.
After thinking for a moment, I turned around and bent down and said, "Senior, please allow me to apologize to you first. β
He didn't look at me, but looked at the fish in the water intently, as if he was looking at his own child: "Hehe, you and I don't know each other, why do you say this?" β
"I've heard of your name since I was in the outside world, and I had been mistaken for a ruthless demon before I set foot here; But seeing it with my own eyes, I realized that you have a good heart, so I want to apologize for my faux pas. β
"It doesn't matter." He spilled all the things in his hand, gently patted the remaining minced meat with both hands, and then plucked a powdery blue leaf from the side to wipe the grease stains on his hands: "What you think is not bad, before...... The world does call me the devil. β
"Huh?" I frowned and looked puzzled, not knowing how to associate the beautiful thing in front of me with the Adversary.
"Don't mention it, don't mention it, it's just a recklessness when you were young and vigorous......" He didn't continue, but smiled at the past that he didn't want to remember.
It doesn't matter to me whether you want to tell the story or not, I'm here today for other things.
"Senior, I came here today to ask you about the [Holy Spear Record]."
As I spoke, I took out the [Holy Spear] and held it in my hand, waiting for him to be surprised and tell me some shocking secrets.
But unexpectedly, he was not the slightest surprised, but was very kind: "Oh? This book is in your hands again? Hehe...... It's really going around in circles. β
"In my hands? Has anyone ever come to you with it before? β
He looked up at the horizon thoughtfully, his sharp nails rubbing lightly and thinking, "That's ...... One hundred and fifty years ago, a friend of the Terran tribe successfully climbed here and brought this book to my answer. β
One hundred and fifty years ago.
At this point in time, the person who came at that time was either Festic's teacher or his teacher's teacher.
Anyway, I must be regarded as my master.
Seeing that there was a clue, I happily asked, "Then ......, how did you inform him at that time?" β
"How else can I be told? Of course I don't know~" The old man spread his hands, looking innocent and helpless.
Yes??
I don't know???
What the hell are you kidding me??
His indifferent attitude made me panic a little, and I quickly continued to plead: "No......, how could you not know!" Strong people like you......"
"No matter how strong a person is, there are things he can't do, right?" Qilin raised his eyebrows, and the innocence on his face all proved his honesty: "If you ask me how to kill the dragon?" Then I have a hundred ways to tell you, and I can also give away a set of exclusive recipes for dragon meat cooking; If you ask me how to raise flowers and birds, then I have my own experience to teach. But if you want to ask me with a book that I don't even know is of any use, how can I answer you? Do you want me to make up something that sounds very high and unfathomable to perfunctory you? β
Looking at Qilin's fanged smile like an old naughty boy, I completely believed his words, and began to think that he was very good at talking, and I thought that this time I could solve the mystery of the [Holy Spear Record] very smoothly; In the end, even he didn't know it, and I ran for nothing.
There are more than a hundred sentences of "Fak" in my heart.
Although I have already received the answer to come this time, it is still a little difficult for me to accept that I have killed the dragon clan and climbed many steep and dangerous places in exchange for only one who does not know.
After thinking about it for a while, I still didn't want to give up tentatively and asked, "Senior, can you tell me about your perception ......of the dragon lance, or rather, your opinion on your profession?" β
"Dragon spear?" He turned his head to look at me again, as if he was a little puzzled by my question, "You're also a dragon lance?" β
"Of course!" As I spoke, I showed my [Starry Sky], and the moment I attacked, a cold light that only a blade could only have, and the frightened birds flying around the Qilin suddenly scattered and fled.
But Qilin Qi didn't continue to take care of his beloved bird, but looked intently at the weapon in my hand: "It's actually a divine soldier!?" β
Seeing that he finally had a look of surprise, I couldn't help but boast proudly: "Seniors have a good eye, this blade is made of the demons outside the sky and turned into the stars of the earth. β
He nodded and couldn't stop praising it: "Okay, it's really a good divine soldier!" I've never seen such a sassy blade in my life, and it was an eye-opener. β
But as he spoke, his words changed sharply, and he frowned and thought bitterly: "It's a pity...... This blade is incomplete. β
Alas? The old man has something!
Seeing that there was an additional gain, I quickly sighed and said, "Yes, this weapon should have a new skill every ten levels, but it didn't give me the last skill when I reached the full level, and it kept showing that the attributes were not complete." I also struggled for a long time, not knowing what went wrong. β
This question has been bothering me since the first day I reached the full level, but everyone I could ask said they didn't know, and even Festik could only shake his head.
I didn't expect Kirin to understand?
But the old man didn't answer, but looked at me with disgust: "This kind of divine weapon is definitely not something that ordinary people can forge, who forged it for you, do you know it soon?" β
"This is made by the Soul Breaking Tower Immortal Protector, but it's a pity that the Tower Immortal also dispersed when the divine soldiers were completed, so there is no way to ask."
After hearing this, Qilin suddenly smiled: "Oh roar! You're pretty good! Refining the tower immortals? β
How do you speak!? Why do you want me to be refined!?
That's because he didn't have it himself, right!?
"Now that the Forger has gone west, there is only one way to make it whole." After the Qilin joked, he returned to seriousness, and said solemnly with his beard stroked.
"What's the solution?"
"Trace back to yourself." He said word by word, "If the divine soldier is in complete soul form, then you can break the seal by yourself when you are complete; But now that the Divine Soldier is unwilling to return to the Origin, it means that the Soul Form is still lacking, and you need to break through yourself to fill the loss of the Divine Soldier. β
If according to the description of Qilin Qi, then what [Starry Sky] lacks should be the soul, at the beginning, the [Burning Star Flame Demon] was defeated by me as a result of fighting with the Ta Immortal, and then died and then turned into the raw material for casting [Starry Sky], so its death is the reason why [Starry Sky] lacks a soul.
But now it's not practical for me to catch another [Burning Star Flame Demon], and the most reliable way is to "trace back to my own self" as Qilin Qi said.
"That senior, how should I ......?"
When I turned around, the unicorn was gone, and there was no one looking around, until there was a slight sound of drowsiness at my feet.
"Whoo~Whoo~"
This old guy is actually lying on the ground and falling asleep?
I hurriedly bent down to try to wake him up, but the guy waved his hand and said, "There is only this time of the day when there is the wind in the clouds and the warmth of the wind, hurry up and enjoy, if you miss it, you will regret it." β
I couldn't understand what he was saying, but it sounded like a good match.
I found a comfortable place, brushed aside a bush of fluffy tidbits and tender grass, and lay gently on the ground with my arms on my arms, and watched the almost palpable clouds drift by.
"The wind is blowing."
