Chapter Twenty-Five: The Four Fierce Beasts

"Yes, I didn't eat, I brought you breakfast. Gu Junyang opened the insulated box, took out the breakfast and put it on the table.

"I really haven't eaten it yet. Pei Qian sat down, picked up an oiled paper bag and opened it, revealing the hot bun inside.

"Then let's eat it while it's still cold. After Gu Junyang finished speaking, he poured another glass of water and handed it over, looking at him swallowing it in a big gulp, he quipped:

"I said Pei Gan, are you going to run errands, or are you going to flee, why do you look like you haven't eaten for several days?"

Pei Qian glanced at Gu Junyang, and said with a sigh of relief: "I'm still not ...... for you?"

Gu Junyang almost choked when he saw him, and hurriedly patted him on the back, "You have to go, you are my brother, I won't speak, eat slowly." ”

After eating four big buns, Pei Qian drank another large glass of water, and finally relieved. He slowed down a little and said, "I'm going back to the Enlightenment Temple this time." ”

"Ah......" Gu Junyang stretched out the syllables with a question mark on his face, "Since you came to protect me on the order of your master, it has been ten years, and you have never gone back again, this time you suddenly went back, but what emergency happened?"

Pei Qian said angrily: "It's not for you, what can I do." The legacy of the ancestors, the people who have guarded the half-soul with their lives for generations. You are more important than my own life, how could I leave your side because of personal matters and suddenly go back. ”

After Gu Junyang heard this, his eyes suddenly dimmed, and a look of guilt appeared on his face, "I'm sorry Pei Pei, I can't stop your mission, but in fact, you don't have to be like this for me." You've done a good job in public and private, but don't say anything like your life, I really can't afford it. ”

Pei Qian was going to make a joke, but when he saw that Gu Junyang was really going to his heart, he hurriedly said: "I don't feel anything myself, what do you feel guilty about! At the beginning, I really felt that the idea was quite back, and I had been safe for a thousand years, but now it was spread on me! Later, I began to thank you, or I would never be able to go out of the mountain for the rest of my life, and I would have guarded the Wuyang Temple all my life, let alone see this world of flowers." The most important thing is that I got to know you, a lifelong friend, and let me experience the beauty of family affection. So for your sake, I'm willing to stick a knife in both sides. As he spoke, he stretched out his right hand and patted Gu Junyang's shoulder.

"Thank you for thinking so. Thank you for coming to me and being my lifelong confidant. Gu Junyang's eyes were filled with tears, and he suddenly became emotional.

"Okay, don't be sour, let's talk to whom, let's get down to business. Pei Qian paused and continued: "I went back to check the classics this time, and finally found some clues, the magic circle in the Lechuan stream is called the Siyi Divine Array. There are three seals, the outer one was set up thousands of years ago, and now you have broken it. The middle seal is the Four Fierce Seal, which is suppressed by some of the organs of the four fierce beasts. The method of breaking the inner seal has long been lost. Both the middle and inner layers were laid down 10,000 years ago.

"Huh, then why is it only me who can break the outer seal?" Gu Junyang wondered.

"Because you are a half-soul, the person who laid the seal probably did it to recognize people with the seal. In other words, you are the key to the outer seal. As for why this arrangement is unknown, the reason why I don't let you go is because I am afraid that the people set up will threaten you, and I have ancestral teachings, so I can't enter the Lechuan Stream to protect you at all times. That's all I knew before. ”

Gu Junyang continued to ask: "Then why, I broke the outer seal, and several ancient families immediately knew?"

"It is said that the suppression of the Siyi Divine Array is countless soul devourers, and when you enter the innermost layer and recite the unique mental method, you can obtain the supreme power of all soul devourers. With such a big temptation, do you think they can't be tempted? Naturally, they are secretly observing the Lethe River Stream from time to time. ”

"Hmm. Gu Junyang nodded.

"Moreover, the ancient family has multiplied for 10,000 years, and it must have passed down its unique secret method before it can stand in the world. Knowing that only half-souls can break the outer seal, it must be more than my Pei family. Half-souls are also an excellent material for smelting and killing Soul Eaters. And I guess that the use of the half-soul must be more than this, otherwise the master would not have ordered me to protect you at all times. ”

Gu Junyang was a little speechless, "Heh, I dare to love my uses, which are quite extensive." ”

"By the way, apart from the magic circle, what else did you see inside?" Pei Qian looked up at Gu Junyang.

Gu Junyang scratched his hair, his eyes flickered, "Ha? It's gone, just the magic circle on the map, and the rest are plum blossom trees, all over the mountains." He gestured as he spoke.

"Really?" Pei Qian obviously didn't believe it.

"Really!" Gu Junyang looked at Pei Qian innocently.

Pei Qian looked at him with an innocent look in his eyes, and after a while, he said, "Forget it." ”

"Ah, by the way, the four little animals above, I found the information. Gu Junyang looked confused and hurriedly said.

Pei Qian looked him up and down, "Where did you get the information?"

"Ahh I went back to Gu's house in the past few days. ”

"The Siyi Divine Array was cast in ancient times, can you Gu family find out?" Pei Qian said suspiciously.

"Yes, look!" Gu Junyang took out the copied materials and handed them to Pei Gan.

Pei Gan took the paper and read it: "It is famous, the body seems to be harmless, the deduction is exhausted, and its dryness is ......" After reading the whole article, he said: "This only describes the names and appearances of the four fierce beasts, and nothing else. ”

Gu Junyang was cheeky and said, "Ah! No, then you can translate it for me!"

Pei Qian showed a look of disgust, and reluctantly translated: "Roe deer owl, alias gluttony." The head has a pair of curved horns, a huge mouth wide open, and sharp teeth like saws. Born with a pair of sharp claws.

It looks like a cow on the outside, with a white head, but it has the tail of a snake and only one eye, and the legendary disaster beast will cause great disasters wherever it appears, so the world is afraid of this beast.

Zhu Yan, with an ape-like body, has clean hair, a white head, and likes to run for opportunities.

Arrogant, alias 梼杌. It has a tiger-like physique and a hairy dog, with long hair, a human-like face, tiger-like legs, a mouth with fangs like a wild boar, and a tail eight feet long.

The so-called "four fierce beasts" first refer to the four brutal tribal leaders in ancient times, who were punished by the Emperor of Heaven and turned into four monsters, but they did not repent and continued to bring disaster to the world. ”

"Ah?!That's it, I knew that I would rather be beaten than borrow that book. Gu Junyang said dejectedly.

Pei Qian was confused, "What book?"

Gu Junyang realized that he had missed his mouth and covered his mouth. Seeing that Pei Qian had been staring at him, he hesitated again and again, and said in a deep voice: "I have sworn ...... Well, the priority now is to understand my background...... Then you promise me that you will never tell anyone. ”

Pei Qian nodded solemnly.

"Strange Stories in Yunnan"

After Pei Qian heard these four words, he immediately slapped the table with both hands and stood up, "Impossible!"

"How can't it be, I was naughty when I was a child, broke into the secret room, and saw it. Remember that there was a vernacular note at the back of that book. Gu Junyang explained in a low voice.

Pei Qian's face changed slightly, "Do you know, what kind of book is that?"

"The ancestors of the Gu family, at least, the last three hundred years. Gu Junyang was a little weak-hearted.

Pei Qian narrowed his eyes and said coldly: "Hmph, that book is the ancestral secret training of the ancient Ji family!"
