Volume 1 The Rise of the Wind and Clouds Chapter 3 Manyo Spirit Shirt
The third article is the spirit shirt of ten thousand leaves
"Brother, brother, come on, come on!!"
A crisp sound broke the silence in the courtyard!
Grandpa Merlin, who was sitting on top of the grass, immediately took out a spherical bead from the storage bag behind him, which was crystal clear, and it was particularly dazzling in the gray room!
In the beads, there are two children playing with each other! The white and translucent star crystal ball will show the figures of the two children very clearly!
Qin Tao and Qin Lin are no strangers to this bead! This bead in front of him has been with Grandpa Merlin for many years, and all the people in the village who have seen the bead call the bead "Xuanlong White Eye"!
This spherical bead was already by Grandpa Merlin's side when Qin Tao and Qin Lin were very young, and it is strange to say that a qiē that happened in the village seems to be shown in this bead, when Qin Lin was injured on the battlefield, Grandpa Merlin found the injured Qin Lin is also a 'dazzling dragon white eye'!
In fact, Qin Tao and Qin Lin brothers once asked Grandpa Merlin about the dragon's eye, Grandpa Merlin always smiled and did not answer, looking like he had nothing to do with them, as for the real name of the bead, they never knew, just looking at the bead white and transparent and glowing, the whole bead looks round and shiny, when looking at it, it seems that the heart is peeped at, out of awe and respect in the heart, this bead is slowly called "Xuanbai longan".
"Tao'er, let you come here today, do you know why?" Grandpa Merlin suddenly took his eyes off the bead and said to the tall and mighty man in the room!
"Doesn't the boy know, Daddy, is there something going on in the village?"
The person who spoke was Qin Tao, and his face was very respectful!
Grandpa Merlin stared at the round beads, looking thoughtful, Qin Tao and Qin Lin just looked at each other, as if the two brothers didn't know what to say next.
・・・・・・
In Linshan Village, Qin Tao not only has his own business, but also has the task of protecting the village, in the usual security patrols, every time there is a special situation in the village, the captain of the patrol team in charge of Qin Tao will notify him on time, so almost Qin Tao can know a thing or two about the big and small things that happen in the village!
"Brother, I feel that the spirits of things have been very abnormal recently, the last time I went out to inspect, some of the low-level spirits I encountered felt very restless! What's even more strange is that many villages on the edge of Bianhai City have changed a lot, and some of the villages I have been to before have ceased to exist when I went out this time・・・・・・" Qin Lin said to Qin Tao who was standing aside!
Hearing Qin Lin's words, Qin Tao also frowned...
According to Grandpa Merlin's arrangement, Qin Lin is responsible for going out to inspect the entire Bianhai City on schedule every year, because Qin Lin has participated in the war between the Baltic Empire and the Orlan Kingdom before, and has a certain combat experience・・・・・・
"Tao'er, Lin'er, look how cute these two children are, they have grown up・・・・・・" Grandpa Merlin looked at the frolicking figures of the two children in "Xuanbai Longan"!
"Dad, what happened?" Qin Tao was a little anxious! It seemed that he didn't have the heart to look at this at this time!
It's no wonder that Qin Tao, who is in charge of the safety of Linshan Village, how can he settle down without knowing the specific situation!
"Bo'er should be back too, why didn't you let him come over with Xiao'er and Xiang'er?" Grandpa Merlin looked at Qin Tao!
Grandpa Merlin believes that as a person responsible for protecting Linshan Village, he must have a mind that is not chaotic in the face of danger, so that he can stabilize his position in the most dangerous time!
"I'm back Dad, Qin Bo said I'll come over in a while, I rushed over first after receiving my brother's notice、、、 what's wrong with the village, Dad、、、?" Qin Tao is still very anxious!
"Xiaozi!wei'er、、、 where are you two?" A shout interrupted the voices of Grandpa Merlin and Qin Tao in the room, "Grandpa Merlin, who had been looking at Qin Tao, turned his head slightly, and his eyes moved to the "Xuanbai Longan"!
I saw that Qin Bo, Qin Tao, and Qin Xiang's three brothers and sisters all ran to Qin Xiao's own small study, which contained some of their own learning materials, as well as the information about walkers, magicians, and warriors collected by the three brothers and sisters.
Looking at this, the three children frolicked and joked, the children were so united and harmonious!
"Tao'er, Lin'er, it's time to tell you too、、、、" Grandpa Merlin looked at the two grown children with an eager look, and his heart was full of relief, this is the responsibility of being responsible for the comfort of the whole village!!
"Tao'er, Lin'er, do you know why you two are called by this name?" Grandpa Merlin paused slightly, and continued, "That was about sixty years ago, we didn't live in this Linshan Village, that year, your mother just gave birth to Lin'er, we live in a small fishing village in Bianhai City, and our lives are happy and worry-free!"
Qin Lin looked at Grandpa Merlin on the grass, and his heart seemed to have followed his father to sixty years ago!
"One day, there was a living man in our village, and no one in the village knew him, and the man looked a little crazy, and kept saying, 'Man is the law of the earth, the earth is the law of the sky, the heaven is the law of the Tao, and the Tao is natural - there is always a beginning and an end!" The people in the village felt very strange, and they didn't care much, Tao'er was just born at that time, and the specific time was on the day Tao'er was born, and the sea near the village suddenly swelled up with a stormy wave, but the waves did not last long, and the sea soon returned to normal! According to the old people in the village, that wave was the biggest wave that everyone in the village had ever seen, and because Tao'er was born on that day, I discussed with your mother and named the child Qin Tao!"
"Alas, at that time, some people in the village said that the sky was abnormal, and something big would inevitably happen!, but I didn't pay much attention to it!" Grandpa Merlin sighed, as if he blamed himself a little!
"If I had taken your mother out of the fishing village in the first place, I wouldn't have ・・・・・・," Grandpa Merlin muttered to himself, and his whole body was still!
"Two years later, Lin'er was also born, my second child! At that time, a stranger came to the village again, and when he saw my newborn child, his mouth kept muttering, 'After a long drought and a rainy day!' your mother and I called the second child Qin Lin, and then the whole village was swept away by a huge wave, and in that catastrophe ・・・・・・" Grandpa Merlin said in a low voice, and the pain was clearly heard from the voice!
"Later、、、 later, in order to save Tao'er, your mother was unfortunately swept away by the huge waves, leaving me to desperately take you two away from the flood!"
Surviving the disaster, I took you two with me, because I hated the sea, I decided to take you to a place far away from the sea, all the way to escape, by chance, we met again a stranger who came to our fishing village, the stranger saw our father and son, he witnessed the birth of the two of you, I always felt very strange about the stranger, and then I asked again and again! The stranger told me the reason why the huge waves suddenly appeared in the fishing village!
"It turns out that the sea spirits are making trouble, every Jiazi, that is, sixty years, whether it is the ocean spirits, the air spirits, or the land spirits, will collectively erupt once, and the time will last for a whole year or so, only the magicians, warriors, and walkers can fight with the spirits, and the conditions required by the walkers are more harsh, so in this kind of battle, the warriors are the main body occupies a very important position, and your mother is the subordinate of a kind of spirit called the dragon soul who died in the ocean!"
The corners of Grandpa Merlin's eyes were visibly moist, he paused for a moment, and eased his feelings a little, "That year, with the help of strangers, I brought the two of you back to the current Linshan Village, while raising the two of you, I went around asking how I could become a magician, a warrior or a walker, and after unremitting efforts and cruel screening, I finally had the honor of becoming a walker!
Hearing this, Qin Tao and Qin Xiao both showed surprised expressions on their faces! In the eyes of Qin Tao and Qin Lin, although they were very mysterious to Grandpa Merlin, they were at most associated with magicians, but they never thought that Grandpa Merlin was a walker!
"Later, with continuous training, continuous attempts, and the practice of spells, I have cultivated from the original low-level walker to the high-level walker, for the high-level walker, the master told me that I can fight against the highest ninth-order spirit, but it is very difficult to kill・・・・・・" Grandpa Merlin raised his voice, "These are enough! I must kill that dragon spirit!"
"So after a year of searching, I finally found the dragon Jiao soul, this bead that you call "Xuanbai Dragon Eye" is the eye of the beast, in the battle my essence and blood were almost lost, and I finally passed out, and when I woke up, I found that the master was in front of me!
The master seemed to be very pity, but said lightly, "It's a pity that such a good qualification is so good", and then the master shook his head and left!
Later, I learned that I had no possibility of advancing again, and could only stay at the high-level walker, and since then I have taken the two of you back to Linshan Village, the purpose is to protect this village, and not let the village be destroyed again, Grandpa Merlin's words carry a kind of perseverance and determination!
"Tao'er, Lin'er, come out with me・・・・・・ Grandpa Merlin stood up, shook the grass on his body, and walked straight out of the house.
Under the metasequoia forest, the bright moonlight sprinkled on the entire backyard, and the originally dark night became hazy, and a gust of wind blew, making people feel slightly cool!
"Tao'er, Lin'er, look at these metasequoia ・・・・・・" said, Grandpa Merlin, Qin Tao, and Qin Lin looked towards the entire metasequoia forest together!
"Trees can also become spirits!"
"Ahh・・・・・・h
"Ahh・・・・・・h
Qin Tao and Qin Lin suddenly shouted!
"Trees and spirits are all plant spirits, and spirits are the lives of all things, not only living creatures, but also flowers and trees, and even items like storage bags will have spirituality after a long time, but this is very difficult! Not only these illusions can become spirits, but even water, fire, etc. can also become spirits under special circumstances, but the conditions for formation are more harsh!" Grandpa Merlin saw the surprise of the two and explained a little!
"Tao'er, do you remember those spruce trees around the Nine Towers?"
"Yes father, the Nine Towers are surrounded by spruce!"
"Those spruces and the current metasequoia are all 、、、、 of the Ten Thousand Leaves"
"Ten Thousand Leaves Spirit Shirt?" the brothers called out at almost the same time、、、、
"Yes, it's Wanye Spirit Shirt! These are the ones I caught from the Mobei Forest Sea back then?"
"Is it ?、、、、?" the brothers widened their eyes again, and their expressions of disbelief at the whole truth were on their faces!
"You guessed it right, they are indeed the spirits of things, and they have already recognized me as the master, Yun'er and Shui'er are both ninth-order plant spirits, these spruces and metasequoia actually have two, one spruce transforms into a ring next to the nine towers, and one transforms into a gossip diagram in the backyard, these two guard the eyes of the entire village!"
"Father, is the entire Linshan Village a magic circle?" Qin Lin couldn't help but ask!
"It's the magic circle, because the geographical location of Linshan Village is too special, I must prepare more means to ensure the safety of the entire village, this is our task and duty as a walker in Linshan Village!" Grandpa Merlin's words were sonorous and powerful, and every word was loud and powerful, "In the Balo Empire, the supreme practitioner must protect at least one village for the cultivator, and according to the ability of the practitioner, the responsibilities on the body are also different!"
"Father, can these two Ten Thousand Leaf Spirit Shirts protect our Linshan Village?" Qin Tao suddenly asked with some concern!
"It depends on the ability of the beasts that attack our Linshan Village, generally the spirits within the ninth order are no problem, even if hundreds of ordinary ninth-order spirits attack together, there won't be much damage in the village" Grandpa Merlin said confidently!
"Help!!Help!!!Grandpa Merlin、、、Grandpa Merlin"The loud voice resounded throughout the night sky!
"It's Xiang'er!" Qin Lin's face suddenly changed after hearing this!
