"Look at yourself." The young monk took a step back.
Qi Yue subconsciously looked down and happened to see black lines gradually emerging on his flat chest, accompanied by a faint silver light. The spiral black and silver horns looked so mighty and handsome. Qi Yue was completely stunned. "What, what is this?"
At this time, Qi Yue was not the only one who was surprised. The young monk's eyes also flashed with surprise. "Ink Kirin? It's actually Ink Kirin? When I first saw you, I was prepared for the worst, but fate played a huge joke on me. You turned out to be the strongest person in the Kirin Clan — Ink Kirin. I never thought that Ink Kirin would be born in this generation. "
Qi Yue still looked down at his chest. The clear black monster had a pair of silver eyes, and it seemed to be looking at him. A feeling of flesh and blood suddenly filled Qi Yue's body with strength. He was surprised to find that his muscles seemed to have expanded a little. The fatigue from walking after entering the temple had disappeared. Although his upper body was naked, he no longer felt cold.
The young monk took a deep breath and said, "Now, can you calm down and listen to me?"
Qi Yue raised his head and looked at the young monk. There was a complicated look in his eyes, and a bitter smile appeared on his face. "When I was a child, my biggest wish was to be an extraordinary person. Now it seems that this wish is coming true. Although it's like a dream, I won't run away. The impending fate is like a gangster raping a beautiful woman. Since I can't choose, I can only try my best to feel the beauty of it. Tell me, but I want to hear your introduction first. I think you must not be an ordinary monk. "
After listening to Qi Yue's metaphor, the young monk was speechless. "It seems that you can't leave the topic of women." Although there was some dissatisfaction in his words, the invisible restraints around Qi Yue's body had already been removed.
Qi Yue chuckled and said, "Since there are two kinds of humans in this world, men and women, it is natural for them to be attracted to each other. Tell me, who are you? Then I'll listen to your story. However, to be honest, I don't know much about Tibetan Buddhism in Tibet. Maybe I won't know your identity even if you tell me, but I still want to hear it. "
The young monk smiled indifferently and said, "Although the status of the Holy Buddha Temple in Tibet is not as good as the Potala Palace, it also has its special place. Only the most devout lamas would cultivate here. More than ten years ago, when the most famous master here passed away, I was still an ordinary child. He chose me to inherit his mantle and gave me the most precious collection of ancient books. In a sense, you can understand him as the master of this Saint Buddha Temple. " At this point, he paused and looked at Qi Yue and said in a deep voice, "Therefore, I am just a disciple of the Buddha who has been practicing Buddhism since childhood. We cultivators are very indifferent to everything in the outside world. What reputation and the like are all fabricated. Therefore, I naturally don't have a name that you know to prove that what I said is true. As a monk, I only have one best explanation. A monk does not lie. "
"You are in charge of such a big temple? Okay, I'll listen to you. " This time, Qi Yue was really a little surprised. Looking at the mysterious young monk in front of him, he actually believed it in his heart. Although this monk was about the same age as him, he felt that he was like a vast sea that could contain everything.
The young monk smiled indifferently and said, "You can call me Zagrú. I've already said the two words' Kirin 'just now, so you should be able to guess that the tattoo on your body is Kirin. Actually, this is not a tattoo, but a symbol that has been sleeping in your blood, or should I say, the bloodline of Kirin. Kirin is an auspicious sign from the heavens, the leader of all beasts, symbolizing auspiciousness and peace. There are also many types of Kirin. The ordinary Kirin has golden hair and a silver body, but you are different. You are actually the most special and powerful Ink Kirin among Kirin. As far as I know, you are the first human in history to inherit the bloodline of Ink Kirin. "
"Ink Kirin? You are saying that I am Ink Kirin? Kirin seems to be able to fly, right? If I become the real Kirin, won't I be able to fly too? This thing is black, but it looks passable. " As he spoke, Qi Yue looked at the tattoo on his chest with satisfaction. "I've wanted to get a tattoo for a long time. In the movies I used to watch, there's a green dragon on the left, a white tiger on the right, and an old bull in the middle. It's so cool!"
Zagrú stared at him with wide eyes and said, "You're actually comparing the bloodline of Ink Kirin to that hooligan tattoo? Forget it, that's your nature. I'll get straight to the point. " He was really afraid that if he spoke too much to this guy in front of him, his Buddha-like nature would be greatly affected.
"In our East, there has always been a group of true guardians. There aren't many of them, but they all have a mission that has been passed down since ancient times, and that is to protect our East, this piece of pure land, so that it will not be taken advantage of by evil, and so that it will not be broken by foreign enemies. And this group of guardians is led by 12 warriors who represent the 12 Earthly Branches. "
"Wait a minute, what are the 12 Earthly Branches?" Qi Yue's curious gaze made Zagrú speechless.
"You, you don't even know about the 12 Earthly Branches? I'm really ashamed that you're a descendant of the Yellow Emperor. You don't know about the 12 Earthly Branches, but you should have heard of the 12 Zodiac. These twelve warriors represented the Zodiac Guardian Gods of the twelve zodiac animals. They have their own abilities, and not only are they powerful warriors, but they are also the guardians of the East. "
Qi Yue suddenly understood and said, "So that's how it is. I know about the 12 Zodiac. I could memorize them when I was in primary school. Isn't it just Rat, Ox, and so on?"
Zagrú forced himself not to look at Qi Yue as if he was looking at an idiot, and said reluctantly, "You can say that. The 12 Zodiac are Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Goat, Monkey, Chicken, Dog, and Pig. The 12 characters that correspond to the 12 Zodiac are Zi, Chou, Yin, Mao, Chen, Si, Wu, Wei, Shen, You, Xu, and Hai. These 12 characters are the 12 Earthly Branches. Forget it, you won't understand even if I explain it to you. You only need to know that the 12 Zodiac Guardian Gods have always been guarding the East. "
"What does it have to do with me? I'm born in the year of the monkey. Don't tell me you think that I'm one of the twelve guardian gods? "Qi Yue's interest was piqued. At the very least, the zodiac guardian god title sounded very impressive.
Zaglu shook his head and said, "Of course not. Even I can only try my luck when searching for the twelve Zodiac Guardians that appear once in a thousand years. Up until now, I've only encountered three. When the 12 Zodiac Guardian Gods appear every thousand years, the biggest difficulty is how to gather them together. Only when they are together and complement each other can the full strength of the Zodiac Guardian Gods be exerted. Only then can they have the ability to completely protect the East. Therefore, in addition to the 12 Zodiac Guardian Gods, there is also a leader. He has the mission of commanding the Zodiac Guardian Gods and gathering them together. He is also the leader of all the East Guardians. " Speaking of this, Zagrú's eyes fell on the lifelike black monster on Qi Yue's chest.
Qi Yue said, "Do you mean that I'm the guy who commands the 12 Zodiac Guardian Gods and has to protect the East? In other words, Kirin you mentioned? Isn't Kirin something that only exists in the legends? "
Zagrú sighed softly and said, "Actually, many of the records in the Yanhuang Mythology are based on reality. Kirin does exist, and you are the one who has Kirin's bloodline. The Ink Kirin pattern on your body is the best proof. Before you came here, when we were still sitting on the train, I had already felt the aura of Kirin's bloodline in your body. I met you through my Buddhist power. Do you still remember that dream? In that dream, I used Buddhist energy as a guide to awaken your Qilin bloodline from its slumber. That's why you slept for so long. It's because your body needs a period of nourishment after receiving the Qilin bloodline. I led you here to help you fully awaken your Kirin's bloodline. This awakening process is called Initial Awakening for the 12 Zodiac Guardian Gods and the King of the Zodiac Guardian Gods, Kirin. "
Qi Yue's face became calm and he asked, "If I become the Kirin you mentioned, then what do I need to do?"
Zagrú's body exuded a layer of peaceful aura and he said seriously, "As the King of the Zodiac and the commander of the 12 Zodiac Guardian Gods, your mission is to protect the East. When there is any abnormal situation in the East, you will need to lead our Zodiac Guardian Gods to solve it. The birth of the Zodiac Guardian Gods will inevitably mean the appearance of the evil forces in the East. At the same time, as the guardian of the East, you may also have to face challenges from the West."
Qi Yue walked in front of Zagrú and revealed a strange smile. He raised his hand and patted Zagrú's shoulder. He said in a deep voice, "Little monk, I can see that you are a very righteous person. You are a good person who takes responsibility for the world."
Zagruel stared blankly for a moment and said, "I'm just doing what I should do. Everyone has their own predestined fate, just like you, who was born with the bloodline of the Qilin.
The smile on Qi Yue's face became wider. "Because you are a good person and a compassionate monk. So I think if I insist on leaving, you will not stop me, right? Goodbye. "After saying that, he turned around and walked out.
Zagrú was stunned for a moment. After all, he was not even 20 years old. Seeing Qi Yue turn around and leave, he suddenly felt a little anxious. "You, you are leaving just like that? Don't you want to be the King of the Zodiac? "
Qi Yue said without turning his head, "Who would want to be the King of the Zodiac? It is not that easy to be a hero. Needless to say, if I become the King of the Zodiac, the enemies I will face will be very terrifying. You said it yourself, I am a hooligan, or a scoundrel. For a hooligan or scoundrel, nothing is more important than living. I am only 19 years old, and I have not lived long enough. Although I have also dreamed of being a hero, I have watched a lot of TV shows and novels. It is not that easy to be a hero. If I am not careful, I will die before I achieve anything. So, I do not have the thought of being a hero. I am just a nobody, and I only want to be a nobody. I want to be a Superman who wears his underwear on the outside in the TV. It is just a dream. Don't bother me anymore. I am not a warrior, and I am not a hero. "
As he said that, Qi Yue had already walked to the entrance of the hall. He had grasped Zagrú's character. As a monk, he would not force himself.
Zagrú was anxious. Although he looked down on this guy in front of him, Kirin was too important to all the Zodiac Guardian Gods. "Wait, can you tell me what you wish for in this life? Or should I say, what is your biggest wish?"
Qi Yue stood at the door and turned around. His eyes were full of longing, "Actually, my wish is very simple. I live on the west side of the capital. I once knew a big brother. His nickname was Smoke Man. He once said something that inspired me a lot. He said, "Sleep until you wake up naturally. Count money until your hands cramp." I added two more sentences on the basis of these two sentences. They formed all of my wishes. I added "Beautiful women come to my door and let me sleep with them. My golden spear will never fall." These four sentences, when put together, were my life's ideals. However, although I am just a nobody, I also know that wishes are beautiful, but they are also very difficult to achieve. So, I have never had any extravagant expectations. "
Seeing that Qi Yue was about to leave again, Zagrú hurriedly said, "These wishes of yours are not impossible to achieve." Although as a monk, he really didn't want to get involved in these mortal affairs, in order to make Qi Yue stay, he had to go along with it.
Sure enough, as soon as Zagrú said this, it immediately aroused Qi Yue's interest. "Oh? Then tell me, how can it be achieved? Can it be achieved by becoming Kirin? Even if it is true, I don't want to enjoy it for a few days and then die. "
Zagrú said with a wry smile, "In fact, what you said is nothing more than the word 'power'. With power, everything will become simple. In the East, the status of Kirin is absolutely transcendent, and what you will face is far less dangerous than you think. As the king of the Zodiac Guardian Gods, all the Zodiac Guardian Gods will take your safety as their responsibility. They will not hesitate to sacrifice their lives to protect you. Moreover, as the unprecedented Ink Kirin, you have a special ability that other Kirin don't have. You are now only in the initial stage of awakening. As long as I help you to enlighten your acupoints, your Ink Kirin bloodline will be fully awakened, and you will immediately have this special ability. "
Qi Yue looked at Zagrú and said, "What ability? Don't tell me that I will become a super master after you enlighten me. I have read many novels, and I understand the principle of gradual progress. No one can eat Fatso in one bite. "
Zagrú shook his head and said, "Of course not. You are right. Gradual progress is a process that all cultivation methods have to go through. The more effort you put in, the more power you will have. In ancient times, Kirin was one of the most powerful divine beasts. However, Kirin has a fatal weakness, and that is their horn. Once their horn is chopped off, Kirin's life will also disappear. However, there is an exception in the Kirin Clan, and that is Ink Kirin. Ink Kirin has a strong vitality that other Kirin can't compare to. Even if their horn is chopped off, they can still survive. Moreover, their horn will grow again. "
Qi Yue said calmly, "What do you mean by telling me this?"
Zagrú said, "What I mean is that as long as your Ink Kirin bloodline is fully awakened, you will be able to have a strong self-recovery ability. Unless your head is chopped off, you will be able to recover in a short time even if your other limbs are broken. "
Qi Yue was stunned. "F * ck, then am I Kirin or a cockroach?"
Zagrú smiled and said, "Of course you are Kirin. How can a cockroach be compared to Ink Kirin? Not only that, because Kirin is an auspicious sign from the heavens, as long as your bloodline is awakened, anyone who offends you will be punished by fate. Although the punishment may not be severe, an auspicious sign is not something anyone can offend. "
Qi Yue was pleasantly surprised. "Do you mean that anyone who offends me in the future will be out of luck?"
Zagrú said, "In a sense, you can understand it that way. However, it is only to a certain extent."
Qi Yue shook his head and said, "It still won't work. If I only have a strong recovery ability, then I will become a punching bag. I won't do it. "
Zaglu suppressed the anger in his heart and said, "Of course it won't be like this. As the inheritor of the Qilin, you naturally have a cultivation method that belongs to the Qilin. As long as you are willing to cultivate diligently, you will definitely become an expert. Furthermore, you have the Zodiac Guardian God to protect you, so how can you become a punching bag? Among the Guardians of the East, I am called Tian Yin. My ability is to help you and the other Zodiac Guardians awaken their abilities. However, I can only sense their aura within a hundred miles. You are different. After you turn eighteen, no matter where you are, I will be able to sense your existence. You also have the ability to sense the aura of any Zodiac Guardian within a distance of five hundred miles. Two years ago, I traveled all over the country and finally found three Zodiac Guardians under my unremitting efforts. Some of them have already awakened, while others were awakened by me. As long as you are willing to accept the responsibility of Kirin, then they will naturally become your guardians. Before you find all twelve Zodiac Guardians, you can temporarily ignore any troubles that occur in the East. You can rest assured that the Zodiac Guardians are the most important among the Guardians of the East. They are the most powerful existences, and the most important one among the Zodiac Guardians is you, the king of the Zodiac. Only under your leadership can the Zodiac Guardians exert their full strength. Therefore, protecting your safety is absolutely the most important thing. In the next few years, your task is actually very simple. You just need to find the other Zodiac Guardians and practice your own cultivation. There won't be any danger. As for our Guardians of the East, some of them are families that have been passed down since ancient times. These big families have great power. As the king of the Zodiac, you will naturally get their help. It will be much easier to realize your wishes. "
Qi Yue tilted his head and said, "That sounds pretty good. Alright, I'll agree to it. However, shouldn't you at least show me something?" As he spoke, he stretched out his right hand and rubbed his thumb, index finger, and middle finger together. There was a wretched and lascivious smile on his face, revealing his true colors of a ruffian.
In fact, from the moment he saw the Kirin pattern on his body and Zagrú told him about his dream, Qi Yue had already believed him. And when Qi Yue said that he wanted to leave, he was just playing hard to get. When he was very young, Qi Yue had vowed that even if his name could not be passed down in history, he must be infamous for thousands of years. He would never live in vain. How could he give up such a good opportunity when it suddenly appeared in front of him? However, extortion was the nature of a ruffian. The little monk in front of him was obviously not an ordinary person. How could Qi Yue be reconciled if he did not get some benefits from him?
Obviously, Zagrú did not understand what Qi Yue meant. Looking at his rubbing fingers, he asked in confusion, "What do you mean?"
Qi Yue laughed and said, "Don't you Buddhists all have magic weapons? Give me two, so that I can protect myself in the future! " He put on a righteous look and said, "As the king of the Zodiac Guardian Gods, in order to better protect our great East, having more magic weapons will naturally make things smoother."
Looking at Qi Yue's appearance, Zagrú could not help but feel a little strange. Naturally, he could see what Qi Yue was thinking. For the first time in his life, he had the impulse to beat someone. But although he was young, he was a virtuous monk after all. He sighed and said, "I knew you would not let me go. Well, this is for you. Only this thing is suitable for you. " As he spoke, he took off a string of green Buddha beads from his wrist and handed it to Qi Yue.
Qi Yue rejoiced in his heart as he hurriedly walked in front of Zaglu. He did not even say a word of courtesy as he received the prayer beads. He could not help but feel a little disappointed as he held them in his hand. The prayer beads were dark green in color and gave off a simple and unadorned aura. They were slightly warm to the touch and did not emit any dazzling light. He could not tell what kind of treasure it was.
Zagrú said, "This string of beads was passed on to me by the ancestors. It has the effect of calming the mind and driving away evil. It is my most precious thing. As Kirin, I will give it to you. However, if you want to fully use the Buddha power in it, you need to constantly practice and understand it. There are 17 Buddha beads in total. They are smaller than lotus seeds and larger than soybeans. Do you know what they are? "
Qi Yue looked at them and looked back at them. There did not seem to be anything special about them. Moreover, they were not very round. Although the surface was bright, they looked a little strange. "Don't tell me that this is the legendary Bodhi Seed. That thing seems to be worthless."
Zagrú looked at the Buddha beads with reverence in his eyes. "This string of Buddha beads cannot be measured by value. With it on you, unless it is a monster that has cultivated for more than a thousand years or an ancient giant beast, it will not be able to invade your body. These 17 Buddha beads are the Buddha's tooth relics of 17 ancestors. They are priceless treasures in Buddhism. "
"What? These, these are Buddha beads made from Buddha's tooth relics. You, you are really extravagant! "Qi Yue looked at Zagrú blankly.
Zagrú shook his head and said, "No, this is not extravagant. This string of Buddha beads has a history of thousands of years. Since the day the zodiac guardian god appeared, this string of Buddha beads has been used by generations of Tian Yin. You are the first person besides Tian Yin to have it. I hope you will not violate the will of the ancestors. With it on you, you should be more assured of your safety. Now, can you accept my enlightenment? "
Qi Yue did not wear the Buddha beads. Instead, he respectfully handed the beads to Zagrú. "Although I don't believe in Buddhism, I know the importance of Buddha's tooth relics to Buddhism. This thing is too precious. I can't accept it. I promise you that you will enlighten me. "
Zagrú looked at Qi Yue. At this time, Qi Yue's eyes no longer had that obscene light. From his clear eyes, it could be seen that he was sincere in returning the Buddha beads. The sloppy guy in front of him seemed to have changed into a different person, which made Zaglu a little uncomfortable. He didn't take it. "If we're talking about magic treasures, I only have this one. As an ascetic monk, I don't have any magic treasures like you think I do. I don't have anything else."
Qi Yue shook his head and said, "From the time I was sensible, I have experienced too much of the fickleness of human nature. No one looked up to me. The world is full of deceit. However, from you, I see a real good person. No, I should say a good monk. Alright, I don't want anything. Enlighten me. From your performance, I can see that I, the King of the Zodiac, is very important. Under the premise of protecting my life, I really want to experience what it feels like to be a superman who wears his underwear on the outside. "
Zagrú took the beads and held Qi Yue's left hand. He said, "People are good by nature. You have finally shown me the kindness in your heart. Since this bracelet came from my hand, it proves that it is fated with you. You don't have to refuse. Although the Buddha beads are precious, as long as it is used in the right way, I think Buddha will approve. "As he spoke, he had already put the Buddha beads on Qi Yue's left wrist.
Qi Yue could clearly feel a cooling sensation traveling up his wrist. All thirty-six thousand pores on his body seemed to open up, giving him an indescribable sense of comfort. The deepest sensation came from his brain, which was unprecedentedly clear. It was as if everything around him had become clear.
At this moment, the cool air suddenly turned warm. Another warm and comfortable feeling replaced everything from before. There was no discomfort like the extreme cold and heat. The two streams of air that appeared one after the other seemed to be nourishing his body.
When the Buddha beads were put on Qi Yue's wrist, the seventeen dark green Buddha beads emitted a layer of lustrous luster. Although it was not an obvious light, under the nourishment of the cool and warm air, Qi Yue could clearly see the changes on the Buddha beads. Even an idiot could see the preciousness of this Buddhist treasure.
"Zagrú, what are you doing?" Qi Yue's voice was filled with surprise. Although Qi Yue coveted this treasure very much, he had an inexplicable respect for Buddhism after meeting Zagrú. Therefore, he had returned the eight Buddha beads to Zagrú, which was against his conscience. But now that Zagrú insisted on giving it to him, he could not help but have a more favorable impression of Zagrú. The feeling of being treated sincerely warmed his heart.
Zagrú looked at Qi Yue with a smile and said, "The Buddha is merciful and delivers all living beings from suffering. I hope these seventeen Buddha beads can bring you a whole new world. You don't have to decline it anymore. Your mind is not stable, so you can avoid any possible danger during the process of enlightening your Apertures with it. I know you still have many questions in your heart. After I enlighten your Apertures, when your Kirin blood is fully awakened, I will explain to you. "
Qi Yue nodded. He looked at the Buddha beads in his hand and felt a little strange. "Then what should I do now?"
Zagrú pointed to the ground and said, "Please sit."
Only then did Qi Yue see that there were a few depressions on the ground. Zagrú said, "This is the place where I and the two previous Masters trained. If we sit for a long time, even the hard rocks will change. This is the principle of dripping water wearing through a stone. Although a minute of training won't be of much use, if you persevere for every minute, you will make a qualitative leap. "
