The water unicorn also focused its gaze here, first flashing a fierce light.
Then he looked startled again, with a slight flash of joy. He threw away 'Tan Qiu' and ran to Zong Shou's side.
Then he became even more affectionate, stroking Zong Shou's thigh with his head and licking the back of his hand in the same way.
Zong Shou was startled and thought, what's going on? Just as he was feeling strange, he saw that 'Tan Qiu' on the opposite side was also stunned for a while. Lost his mind and said nothing.
After a long while, the man burst into laughter: "So, is it really the aura of the Holy King? My sister was not wrong about it. A Holy King actually appeared in my world—"
Zong Shou was startled, "Ah," as if he was thinking of something? But isn't this just a rumor? Even if it is true, how is it possible
But 'Tan Qiu' made it clear: "Qilin has a ferocious temperament, but it is a good beast. It is born with the energy of heaven and earth, and is regarded as auspicious by the world. It is said that whenever the Holy Emperor appears in the world, there will be a Qilin. This one Water Qilin, everything will be close to you, that is to say-"
While talking. 'Tan Qiu' looked at him with a strange look on his face. There is vague emotion, excitement, and hope. There was also some disbelief: "It has equated you with those Holy Emperors from ancient times!"
Zong Shou was startled again and looked at the beast next to him that had shrunk to the size of a lion.
After frowning and pondering for a moment, Zong Shou shook his head again: "What auspiciousness, what if the Holy Emperor appears and the Qilin appears, I don't believe it!"
Several holy emperors in ancient times may have been real people. He should be particularly clear in governance and respected by everyone.
This theory of Qilin being auspicious must be confirmed by later generations.
After all, future generations who have experienced it for thousands of years will never believe in such godlike things.
"It is true that there are some conjectures, but in ancient times, every Holy Emperor was always accompanied by a unicorn, but it is also a fact. My senior brother has specially checked it. Although I don't know the specific reason, he once told me . It should be that the breath of each generation of holy kings is beneficial to these unicorns. Therefore, once they deviate from their way of being emperor, these unicorns will leave-"
Zong Shou listened quietly, thinking about this explanation, but he could barely accept it.
But how could someone like him be equal to the ancient Holy Emperor? Why do you think it’s ridiculous even if you listen to it, and you’ll be embarrassed—
Either there's something wrong with this water unicorn. Either this 'Talk about Autumn' is nonsense.
But I heard 'Tan Qiu' smile again, with sarcasm: "Did you know that if your unicorn appeared in this world, those Confucianists would definitely kneel down and worship you as the holy king? I really want to see it, if these old people The corrupt Confucians know that the Supreme Saint King in their minds, the Ancient Saint King, actually looks like you. What will your expression be like? Will you swallow those Confucian classics such as those from Zhongyong University?"
"Eh?"
Zong Shou was startled and ignored all the words behind 'Tan Qiu': "This is mine?"
This water unicorn was inexplicable at best. It was a little affectionate to him, but it had nothing to do with him, let alone be his—
"Didn't you notice? The seal of parasitism, the contract of life!"
While talking, 'Tan Qiu' pointed at Zong Shou's left hand with a smile. "Qilin is born with this kind of magical power. Through this seal, it can absorb the essence and vitality of others. However, the person who is sealed by it also benefits a lot. Because we live and die together, it is fair!"
Zong Shou looked at his left hand and saw that there was a red scar where the water unicorn had just touched it.
Not a mark, but a rune. Using his spiritual power, he indeed had a slight connection with this unicorn.
Of course, there was a trace of essence that was absorbed. However, Zong Shou was also able to extract a huge amount of water essence from this seal, which was considered mutually beneficial.
But he was completely stunned. This time he gave up looking for Yu Shu and ran over. It was to devour the water beast that could compete with the blood of Fenkong, not to establish a life-and-death agreement with this water unicorn.
But speaking of it, when this water unicorn came to his side, the blood in his body conflicted. It is no longer as intense as before.
At least he was sane and in a better situation.
"This is the truth about the auspicious beast Qilin, which grows by swallowing the essence of other living beings—"
When 'Tan Qiu' said this, he asked with a smile: "But are you worried about the conflict between your own bloodlines? You can feel at ease now! I am here to solve this matter for you! It is impossible for Xuan Shuang's disciples to let you Just die. Hehe, if you fall like this, won't you be able to watch the good show in the future?"
Zong Shou's eyes immediately brightened: "Solve it? Do you know the reason?"
Speaking of which, he himself found the changes in his body strange. Previously, it was clear that the harmony of yin and yang had stabilized, but something happened again in the blink of an eye. I've never figured out why.
"Bloodline traceback! You have obviously experienced it once before, so why didn't you think of it?"
'Tan Qiu' shook his head slightly, with the helplessness that Xia Chong can't say anything and a child can't be taught: "You are the only heir and the closest person to that person in this life. Therefore, you have been affected the most. Bloodline Promotion is a good thing. But unfortunately for you, it is a disaster!"
The voice stopped in Zong Shou's ears, like morning bells and evening drums, making him suddenly realize.
—Is it Zong Weiran? His father—
In this way, in the original history. Although Zong Weiran gave up the Zhouji Life Book for him and demoted himself several ranks. But he is still called the Nine-tailed Fox King, the Blood-Crazy Demon Saint!
So, that man has been promoted to Kyuubi.
I don’t know where he went, but his cultivation has improved so quickly, to the point where he has awakened the bloodline of his ancestors and reached the level of the Nine-Tails!
It is the real Nine Tails, not like him. Although it is the blood of the Eight Tails, there is still one tail that has not yet appeared.
-No wonder! Today, my body will suddenly undergo such changes, completely out of my control.
I smiled bitterly in my heart, Father, Father. You really put me in harm’s way, my child, and I almost died in this Yinlong Valley—
Then he looked at "Tan Qiu" expectantly. This person only said the reason, but not the solution.
But considering his own life, it should be fine.
But the next moment, he was stunned again. I saw "Tan Qiu" but pointed towards the water unicorn.
"It's easy to balance the bloodline. Wouldn't it be fine if you just swallow it?"
Your sister!
Zong Shou almost yelled, feeling like he was being teased.
It's already a contract of life and death, how can it be swallowed? What's more, next to him is a person at the peak of the divine realm. With his own strength, how can he swallow it up
Even with the help of 'Tan Qiu', I'm afraid it won't work. Mainly because my body and soul can't bear it. "Didn't you notice? It's already old. I'm afraid it won't live for a few more years-"
Zong Shou was startled again and looked at it carefully, and then his eyes revealed a bit of pity. Previously, he was only surprised by the vastness of this unicorn's aura, and indeed he had not noticed that there was indeed some sign of decline in this aura.
Although the water unicorn next to him is still majestic, his demeanor shows that he is getting older. At this moment, I am holding on to my strength and standing here.
But isn’t the lifespan of the legendary Qilin measured in thousands of years? It is far longer than the dragon clan!
"I have been trapped here for months and years. If I cannot absorb the appropriate energy, I will naturally die!"
'Tan Qiu' seemed to sigh with great regret: "I originally wanted to capture it and use it as the palace-protecting beast of my world. It is said that Qilin has a resolute temperament. If he does not meet someone he recognizes as a true person, he would rather One si. But I just don’t believe it, and I really can’t surrender it—"
Zong Shou secretly cursed, feeling sorry for the water unicorn next to him. Even if feelings are not swallowed up by him, they still cannot escape from the clutches of 'Talking about Autumn'. It was doomed to be a tragedy, and it was lucky that he was so close to this woman.
But he was still surprised, frowning and asked: "Since you can't inhale the essence, why don't you leave?"
With this water unicorn at the pinnacle of the divine realm, its strength far surpasses that of Shenxiao. If he wanted to leave, he would definitely be trapped in the Yinlong Valley.
Why are you so embarrassed
This time, "Tan Qiu" didn't answer in silence, looking rather confused. On the contrary, the water unicorn let out a sharp roar and suddenly leaned down and dived into the water.
Zong Shou's gaze followed its figure in depth. But after a moment, he saw a slightly smaller, green unicorn with scales all over his body, holding tightly in the depths of the lake.
There was no sound anymore, and several shocking wounds could be seen in the belly. His whole body was frozen in black ice.
"It's for its mate! Its lover has died, so it doesn't want to be alone. So it stays here."
At this time, Tan Qiu also smiled sadly: "Beasts also have feelings, it reminds me of my senior brother and eldest sister -"
Zong Shou's expression was also solemn, with a hint of admiration between his brows.
Unexpectedly, this water unicorn actually has such a story.
But for a moment, I saw waves rolling on the lake surface again. The water unicorn appeared on the lake again, holding a small beast in its mouth and arching towards Zong Shou.
Zong Shou sensed his thoughts and immediately understood, but still asked: "Are you going to leave it to me to take care of?"
After taking a closer look, I saw that the appearance of this young beast was exactly the same as that of a rustic beast, without any difference. At this time, his eyes were open and wet, looking at him curiously, and showing a sense of joy and intimacy. .
Shui Qilin nodded, and then looked at the front of him with great nostalgia, and also looked at the water.
Then, a ball of blood suddenly burst out from the center of his eyebrows. It was divided into three streams, one penetrated into the little beast's body, and the other rushed into the back of Zong Shou's left hand. Make the bloody rune expand and stretch again.
The last wave rushed into the center of Zong Shou's eyebrows before he could react.
Zong Shou wanted to resist, but then he was surprised. This was actually the essence, blood and life mark of Shui Qilin!
At the moment, he no longer resisted, and instead activated the Tianyuan Transformation Technique, absorbing all of this into the depths of his body—
