Astartes of the Bear School

Chapter 1504 1476. Guardian Spirit [Qilin]

"Hu~"

A sound of light flashing rang out.

It was said to be light flashing, but Lan En's most intuitive feeling was "refreshing".

It was like being in the filthy land of Chang'an for a long time, and suddenly being thrown into the refreshing mountains.

The gurgling stream, the dense cypress trees, and even the birdsong and the fragrance of flowers.

In short, it was a harmonious and quiet feeling that was completely incompatible with Chang'an and Changshi.

And in a realm that ordinary people could not see or hear.

Lan En, who always held the hilt tightly and stared at the demon monk opposite, only saw it in his peripheral vision.

A claw suddenly stepped down beside him.

It was a claw shaped like a lion or tiger, but it was covered with green scales with fine gold patterns, which was extraordinary.

The perfect shape and scales actually made Lan En, who was tense at this moment, appreciate it spontaneously.

Let’s not talk about the claw itself.

With a “whoosh” sound.

With the location where the claw landed as the origin, all the impure things, including the filthy black smoke, the gloomy darkness, and the exploding demonic energy, were swept away!

The colors suppressed by darkness reappeared, the green moss on the stone steps, the yellow soil in the gaps between the steps, and the slightly dim but warm candlelight in the Buddhist hall not far away.

The colors and vitality returned to normal.

The heavy and magical clouds in the sky seemed to reflect the situation on the ground.

The black clouds, which had been twisted and surged into a funnel vortex by the murderous intention of the demon monk, suddenly revealed bright sunlight at the center.

Then it expanded at the same speed, and the black clouds in the sky were swept away!

A powerful purifying force instantly cleared all the filth of Jiulin Mountain!

The scroll, the core of Chang'an, was still in Lan En's hand, and some illusory flowers of the other shore were still growing and withering at Lan En's feet at a ten-thousand-fold speed.

But Chang'an was gone, at least temporarily purified.

The demon monk who had been hiding behind the billowing filthy black smoke had completely revealed his whereabouts.

He was now staring at Lan En and the position beside him.

The deep and demonic voice was low and angry.

"Qilin!"

The ancient dragon of the New World, whose entire body muscles were cramped after all his physical strength was instantly consumed, just fell to the ground with a "thump" because Chang'an and filth were swept away.

Sticky saliva was dripping from his mouth, and his limbs were still straight because of the tense muscles.

Hearing the words shouted by the demon monk opposite him, he felt like he had seen a ghost, and he lay on the ground with his round eyes wide open, staring at the other party.

But obviously, the demon monk did not even turn his head towards Qilin even once!

He was not shouting at the ancient dragon from the New World, but something else!

A huge amount of filth and evil spirits were eliminated, and the suppression of living beings also disappeared temporarily. Lan En's body quickly climbed back to the best state in a very short time.

The viscosity of saliva and the smell of blood quickly disappeared, and his breathing became stable again.

After the roar of the demon monk opposite, powerful filthy black smoke came out of his body again, and the direct direction was very obvious and was constrained into a beam of smoke, rushing towards Lan En!

But just now, the entire Chang'an, including the filth and evil spirits on the demon monk's body, were cleared away in one breath.

What can he do now?

The black smoke column that spewed towards Lan En basically dissipated three meters in front of him.

No, it was not dissipated.

Lan En's [Spiritual Vision] saw clearly that it purified the filthy black smoke into a clean appearance, so it was automatically no different from the air and color of the human world, and there was no way to show it!

It was like it disappeared!

Seeing that the demon monk's most effective means of suppressing him, Lan En had no need to worry about it at this moment, so he turned his head.

Following the claws that fell to the ground in the corner of his eyes, he saw clearly what was next to him.

Then, Lan En spoke the same words as the demon monk opposite him.

"Qilin?"

Then the ancient dragon of the New World lying on the ground turned his doubtful eyes to Lan En.

The demon hunter blinked his eyes and looked at the image he had seen in the New Year pictures and various auspicious red paper paintings when he was a child.

"Oh, if I had known that you would appear at this time, why would I rush to work?"

Bai Ze, who had escaped from the filth, floated to the other side of Lan En while complaining.

The guardian spirit [Qilin] stood behind Lan En on the right side in the form of a common animal.

The dragon head has a long beard, the body of a lion or tiger, and the tail of an ox.

The whole body is covered with green scales with gold patterns, and the chest and abdomen are completely platinum scales.

The long horns on the head seem to be a pair of thick and upward deer horns because the legend of the pair of unicorn horns is more popular.

The mane on the body is elegant and soft, and when it stands still, it is almost the same as the legendary [cloud pattern].

On the other hand.

On the guardian spirit [unicorn], at the end of its ox tail, in addition to a tuft of hair at the tip of the tail swaying like a white flame, there is also a string of Buddhist beads with hidden golden light.

The string of Buddhist beads seems to be floating in the void and slowly rotating with the unicorn's tail as the central pillar.

And around its neck, there is a circle of luxurious necklaces.

The necklace is decorated with flowing tassels commonly used in Taoist rituals, and there are three ornaments distributed in a regular form.

There is a bell hanging on the left side. This style is the "Emperor Bell", also known as the "Sanqing Bell".

The bell has a handle, and the end of the handle is called a "sword" and is in the shape of a "mountain", which is a tribute to the Three Pure Ones: Yuqing Yuanshi Tianzun, Shangqing Lingbao Tianzun, and Taiqing Daode Tianzun.

Conquering the gods and subduing the demons will bring you success!

There is a plaque hanging on the right side of the necklace, which depicts an octagonal Yin-Yang Bagua pattern. It is a Yin-Yang Bagua order.

This card symbolizes the balance and order of Yin and Yang.

There is also a sign in the middle, but it is simple and simple, with only two Chinese characters written on it: Su Wang.

According to Japanese legends from the Western Continent, before the birth of the Holy Master, a unicorn came and spat out a jade book, saying, "The descendants of the water spirit will become kings after the decline of the Zhou Dynasty."

It is said that "Confucius is not an ordinary person, but the essence of the Five Elements of Water Virtues. He has the virtues of an emperor but does not occupy his position."

The old goat Bai Ze and Lan En looked at the guardian spirit [Qilin] together.

The old scholar bared his teeth and twitched at the corners of his mouth when he saw the pile of things on the other party.

It is not unusual for traces of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism to appear simultaneously in Qilin. After all, the legend of Qilin does run through all three religions.

But the problem is that this is Japan!

Please...you...collect 6...books...!

Pushing up his small round glasses, Bai Ze struggled to divert his attention away from those things that were remarkable at first glance.

Only then did I finally see some Japanese-style decorations with paper hangings on the main body of Kirin's body.

It gives me a real feeling of being in Japan.

But isn't this more exaggerated? !

While in Japan, I was selected and possessed by a guardian spirit. The guardian spirit that finally took shape had the dual characteristics of the Western Continent and the Japanese Islands!

After being so far away, have all the beliefs of the Western Continent been brought here? !

What kind of character is this? !

Although when they first met, Bai Ze relied on his special type of guardian spirit and his profound knowledge to roughly figure out what the guardian spirit in Lan En's body should be.

But the moment [Kirin] truly appeared, the old goat still had to admit: There are always these exaggerated and new things happening in this world!

'A mythical beast that upholds the virtues of thick soil.'

Like a researcher, Bai Ze carefully looked at his 'temporary colleagues'.

After all, it is also the spirit possessing Lan En.

Bai Ze muttered and analyzed to himself.

Kirin is originally a widely circulated mythical animal image. The respect for the position is simply beyond words.

Therefore, the symbols under identity become more and more complicated.

Not to mention, the [Kirin] appearing on Lan En's body is obviously abnormal. Not only does he belong to the three religions of Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism in the Western continent, he also incorporates native Japanese elements!

In Taoism, Qilin is a mythical beast known as the "Four Spirits" together with dragon, phoenix and turtle.

In Buddhism, the Kirin is either a protective beast or a mount of the Buddha. It is even qualified to stand on a lotus platform under its body and carry a round light behind it that symbolizes the ‘enlightened one’!

In the widely circulated legend of the Five Elements and Five Directions mythical beast, it is the mythical beast that sits in the central Wutu position.

It is the leader of Qinglong, White Tiger, Suzaku and Xuanwu.

Although Shintoism and Onmyodo here in Japan are localized, they do not copy the Five Elements theory of the Western continent.

But this [Kirin] has either the Sanqing Bell or the Yin-Yang Bagua Order. If you say it is limited by Japan’s native beliefs, can Bai Ze believe it?

Among the five elements, earth is the foundation of all things. It means 'nourishing, purifying, carrying'.

Unlike most people who think that the first two items should be classified into the wood element and the water element.

The main meaning of Mu Xing is 'growth and development'

The water element is ‘flow and change’.

‘There is still constant darkness here, but it has been temporarily suppressed by the purifying power of earth element. ’

Bai Ze looked at the land under his feet. As a guardian spirit, he could easily feel that the essence of the power in the land had not changed.

But this only made Bai Ze feel that the revealed [Kirin] was even more terrifying!

It is not difficult to get rid of Chang An. If a demon hunter like Wu Ming meets the Lord of Chang An in his career and then kills it, Chang An can be regarded as being eliminated by the demon hunter.

But the performance of [Qilin] was that when the nature of this land was still connected to the underworld, it used its own purifying power to overwhelm the power of the underworld!

This Jiulin Mountain is not 'breaking through the darkness and returning to the environment of the real world', but 'the land is still connected to the underworld, but the power of purification forcibly purifies the underworld into the appearance of the present world'!

Even if this thing really descends to the underworld, won't it be able to purify an 'eroded landform' similar to the real world in the underworld? !

Bai Ze has been to hell, but he has never seen this scene.

But no matter how knowledgeable Bai Ze was, he made several guesses about the nature of the guardian spirit [Qilin] after taking a few glances.

Lan En has quickly begun to get used to this guardian spirit that truly belongs to him.

In the dreamlike light and shadow, the guardian spirit [Qilin] lowered his head slightly and approached Lan En's side face.

The witcher felt vaguely like what he felt when he slept peacefully that night, the heat of a close and large beast beside him.

Its long beard floats automatically in the absence of wind.

The majestic eyes on the dragon's head were always staring at the filthy enemy opposite.

Next to the unknown demon monk, [Dream-Eating Tapir] appeared in front of everyone as if in response.

It seems that the [Dream-Eating Tapir] is indeed not the guardian spirit of the Sun Protector himself.
