Astartes of the Bear School

Chapter 1504 1476. Guardian Spirit [Kirin]

"Huh~"

There was a sound of flashing light.

It was said to be a flash of brilliance, but Lan En's most intuitive feeling was 'refreshing'.

It was as if after staying in the filthy world of Chang An for a long time, he suddenly plunged into the refreshing mountains.

Gurgling streams, dense cypress trees, and even the singing of birds and the fragrance of flowers.

In short, it is a harmonious and pure feeling that is completely inconsistent with the eternal darkness and the eternal world.

And in a realm that ordinary people cannot see and hear.

Lan En, who was always holding the handle of the knife tightly and staring at the demon monk opposite him, could only be seen in the corner of his vision.

Suddenly a paw stepped on beside him.

It was a sharp claw shaped like a liger, but it was covered with blue scales with subtle gold patterns, making it look extraordinarily noble.

The perfect body and scales actually made Lan En, who was tense at this moment, feel admiration.

Let’s not talk about the claw itself.

"Hula".

Taking the position where the claws landed as the origin, the dirty black smoke, the gloomy darkness, the exploding demonic energy, and all the impurities were swept away!

The colors suppressed by the constant darkness reappeared, including 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.

Color and vitality return to normal.

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

The dark clouds that had been freely circulated by the demon monk's murderous intention had twisted and surged into a funnel and vortex, and bright sunlight suddenly emerged from the center.

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

A powerful force of purification swept away all the filth in Jiulin Mountain in an instant!

The scroll that is the core of Ever Dark is still in Lan En's hand, and some illusory flowers from the other side are still growing and withering at Lan En's feet like ten thousand times faster.

But Chang An is no longer there, at least temporarily purified.

The demon monk who had been hiding behind the billowing black smoke was completely revealed.

He was looking intently at Lan En and the position beside him.

The rich and demonic voice was deep and angry.

"Qi! Lin!"

The ancient dragon from the New World, who had all his physical strength instantly drained and his whole body muscles spasmed, had just been swept away by the constant darkness and filth, and then fell to the ground with a 'thump'.

Thick saliva dripped from his mouth, and his limbs were still stretched straight due to tight muscles.

Hearing the words shouted by the monster monk opposite him was like seeing a ghost. He lay on his side on the ground and looked at him with wide round eyes.

But obviously, the demon monk didn't even turn his head towards Qilin even once!

What he shouted was not an ancient dragon from the New World, but something else!

A huge amount of filth and evil spirits were eliminated, and the suppression of living things was temporarily eliminated. Lan En's body quickly climbed back to its best condition in a very short period of time.

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

After the demon monk roared from the opposite side, powerful black smoke emitted from his body again, and was constrained into a column of smoke with extremely obvious direct direction, and rushed towards Lan En!

But just now, the entire Chang An, and even the filth and demonic aura on the demon monk's body were cleared away in one breath.

What can he do now?

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

No, that's not dissipation.

Lan En's [Spiritual Vision] clearly saw that the filthy black smoke had been purified into something clean, so it was automatically indistinguishable from the air and color of the human world, and it could no longer appear!

It's like disappearing!

Seeing that there was no need to worry about the demon monk's best method of suppressing him at this moment, Lan En had time to turn his head.

Following the paws that landed in the corner of his eye, he could see clearly what was around him.

Immediately afterwards, Lan En said the same words as the demon monk opposite him.

"Kirin?"n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

So the ancient dragon from the New World lying on the ground turned his doubtful gaze to Lan En.

The demon hunter blinked and looked at the images he had seen when he was a child, on New Year pictures and on red paper paintings with various auspicious meanings.

"Oh, if I had known you would show up at this time, why would I be so busy?"

Bai Ze, who escaped from the filth, floated behind Lan En on the other side while grumbling.

The guardian spirit [Kilin] looks like a common animal, standing behind Lan En on the right side.

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

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

The high-spirited antlers on the head are a pair of thick and upward antlers, which seems to be due to the popular legend of a pair of unicorn horns.

The mane on its body is flowing and soft, almost indistinguishable from the legendary [Moiré Pattern] when standing still.

On the other hand.

On the body of the guardian spirit [Kilin], at the end of its ox tail, in addition to a tuft of hair at the tip of the tail that swayed like white flames, it was also surrounded by a string of Buddhist beads that contained golden light.

The string of Buddhist beads seems to be floating in the void with the unicorn's tail as its center pillar, slowly turning.

And around its neck, there is a luxurious necklace hanging.

The necklace was decorated with flowing tassels commonly used in Taoist rituals, and there were three ornaments distributed in a regular pattern.

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: Yuanshi Tianzun of Yuqing, Lingbao Tianzun of Shangqing, and Daode Tianzun of Taiqing. 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 Kirin came and spat out a jade book, writing, "The descendants of the Water Spirit will decline and become kings 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 uncommon 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...9...books...!

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

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!

From such a long distance, 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 nature 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 present 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 [Kilin] 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 [Dream-Eating Tapir] is indeed not the guardian spirit of Master Rihu.
